Chapter 81, Love is Eternal
Zhong Bingxuan quickly added another layer of high-level defensive talisman to herself. Worried that it wouldn't be enough, she added all the remaining defensive talismans. It was only because she was careful that she didn't have to restart again.
In just a few short minutes after entering the room, Zhong Bingxuan had only one high-level defensive talisman left for protection. Moreover, even this high-level defensive talisman was destroyed when she searched the room and found a notebook.
Ignoring the expense of the defensive talisman she had bought, Zhong Bingxuan grabbed the notebook, didn't even glance at it, and immediately rushed out of her adoptive parents' bedroom, closing the door behind her as she fled the house.
Fortunately, Zhong Bingxuan wanted to check her parents' room as soon as she returned, and she didn't take down the Xiong Da doll. At this time, running away from home didn't require much preparation, and she left home quickly.
Not long after Zhong Bingxuan left, An's mother rushed home through the black mist, hurrying towards her bedroom. She opened the cabinet where she kept her laptop, but found it missing, and roared angrily.
"Whoever took my notebook, I'll make sure they suffer a terrible fate."
An's mother smiled sinisterly, her face contorted with malice as she made a video call to Halelin. But when Halelin answered the phone, she instantly transformed into a gentle and harmless little bird.
"Honey, it seems the baby came back and made a huge mess of the house. It's so tiring for everyone to clean up!"
Even though she hadn't caught them in the act, An's mother's intuition told her after she calmed down that the person who took the notebook was An'an.
That girl is too straightforward. Once she sees the contents of the notebook, she'll definitely spread it around. I have to strike first.
Of course, as her biological mother, she would still spare the girl's life, allowing her to become like her.
"What? An'an is going too far! She doesn't respect your hard work as her mother. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when we get back."
"Honey, don't be angry, take care of your health."
Even when she wasn't present, Zhong Bingxuan could sense the changes happening in her family.
This notebook is in the locker room, the kind with a combination lock.
Zhong Bingxuan learned how to unlock this combination lock from Li Hanmo, which enabled her to open the lock immediately and escape from the An family before An's mother noticed something was wrong and came back to kill her.
An's mother would never dare to tell anyone that Zhong Bingxuan stole her things, but that doesn't mean that Zhong Bingxuan violated the other party's death rule. The other party would be powerless against Zhong Bingxuan and would definitely try to stab her in the back.
Most likely, just like the first time Zhong Bingxuan didn't come home at night, they'll team up with Harlelin to kill her.
In this situation, if Zhong Bingxuan doesn't find a way to kill her adoptive parents once and for all, then she will be the one who dies.
Zhong Bingxuan found a quiet corner and checked her notebook, ignoring the date, weather, and her personal mood—it was somewhat like her daily life.
I'm so happy today! I actually hooked up with a duke, and we're getting married!
[Damn it, that person actually has a crush on someone, and that crush is coming back to try and steal my place.]
I won't give up. I've heard that Oshta has a way to make love last forever. I'll find that way and firmly secure my position as Duchess.
[A red wedding dress, a pair of red embroidered shoes, 999 blood-red roses, a pair of couple dolls, a pair of love knots, and a love-severing dagger—I need to find these six things before the wedding to obtain eternal love.]
...
Based on the previous two items—a red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes—Zhong Bingxuan strongly suspected that these were specialties of Aoshida.
Next, we'll see how Mother An prepares six magic weapons for eternal love.
Just like Zhong Bingxuan, the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes were found by chance at Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop.
Unlike Zhong Bingxuan, An's mother handed these two items over to the staff to handle, and only after the staff had finished handling them were they given to An's mother as a thank-you gift.
The 999 blood-red roses were collected during a visit to a famous rose garden in Osda. In order to collect the most beautiful 999 blood-red roses, Anmu spent more than half a month visiting the rose garden.
The couple dolls were relatively simple; they were custom-made by an old man during the temple fair at night. The only strange thing was that, according to An's mother, the old man had an odd requirement: the two lovers had to drip their blood just before the dolls were finished.
At that time, An's mother had gone mad and didn't care how unreasonable the request was. She coaxed and pleaded with Harlelin to do it with her.
The four items mentioned above, which symbolize eternal love, were all obtained from outside sources. The two items below were made by An's mother herself.
The love knot was made by An's mother herself; she made two in total.
The Love-Severing Dagger requires An's mother to water it with her own blood every day for a week before it can be successfully made.
As Zhong Bingxuan had guessed, after the wedding and her adoptive parents entered the bridal chamber, An's mother took out the Love-Severing Dagger and stabbed her new husband. Then she placed the Love Knot on Harlelin's body, soaked it in his blood, and wore it on herself.
An's mother, dressed in a red wedding gown and red embroidered shoes, committed suicide by cutting her wrists. She then soaked another love knot in her own blood, which became bizarre, and hung the love knot soaked in her own blood on Harlelin.
These bloody and brutal procedures made Zhong Bingxuan feel nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The pair of couple dolls is where the cheap parents live, and the 999 blood-red roses are what they are preparing to strengthen their own evil power after their death.
To kill those cheap parents, it's not enough for them to break the rules of death; neither of them are ordinary supernatural beings capable of repeatedly resurrecting.
No matter how powerful Zhong Bingxuan is, she is still a flesh-and-blood person. To engage in a protracted battle with a tireless and painless monster is tantamount to courting death.
To quickly eliminate these adoptive parents, Zhong Bingxuan needs to find the couple dolls that An's mother has hidden, destroy them completely, and ruin the object that the adoptive parents are inhabiting. After that, she should kill the adoptive parents so that they cannot be resurrected.
"No wonder he was so anxious about this notebook. It turns out that it not only contains evidence of An's mother killing her husband, but also how to kill the two people who could be considered immortal."
I just don't know what the original owner's situation was, and whether she knew about An's mother's actions before?
Since the original owner's personal affairs were irrelevant to Zhong Bingxuan's current mission, she put them out of her mind and prepared to go to the gathering place ahead of time to meet up with her teammates.
Having already found six local specialties, Zhong Bingxuan wanted to get her hands on them as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances that could cause the main quest to fail.
As Zhong Bingxuan walked toward the rendezvous point, she sent messages to her teammates.
[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Captain Zhong Bingxuan)]: Wake up, everyone! There's important news to announce. Come quickly to the gathering point.
[Undeterred by Wind and Rain (Core Member Fu Yucheng)]: No, I mean, dear captain, it's only been a short time and you've already found an important clue. Can't you give us two male comrades some face? Leave us some clues, otherwise it makes us look so weak.
