The scalpel became her weapon for reaping lives. Her movements were swift and ruthless. She showed no mercy to villagers who were much weaker than herself!
Some people were terrified and fled in panic, while others immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Only three people were killed instantly by a single blow, blood gushing from their throats...
A moment later, apart from the three corpses lying on the ground, only two people were kneeling on the ground in terror, looking completely terrified.
Qin Qing felt a splitting headache, her brows furrowed tightly. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't control the anger inside her...
Once everything had settled down, she looked at the group of people who were tightly bound to the side. The blue in her eyes gradually faded, and her black pupils quickly returned to normal, but the shock and fear in their eyes could not be erased.
Little did they know that at this moment, she appeared helpless and lost in their eyes, a stark contrast to her former strength and optimism.
Back to the present, after Qin Qing and the others hurriedly left the village, they hadn't spoken much in the past few days, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward and silent.
Even the proactive approach of Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue couldn't melt away her current inner turmoil.
While bathing, Qin Qing silently washed Xiao Muyue, while Shaoyao bathed Xiao Muxing. The air was very quiet, making it seem particularly awkward.
"Grandma~"
A wet little hand was placed on hers, and her big eyes looked very aggrieved.
Although she looked panicked at that moment, she instantly regretted it when she saw her grandmother's helpless eyes. The little girl didn't know how to describe this feeling, but she didn't like her grandmother looking like that, it made her very uncomfortable.
"Grandma, don't be afraid, and Yueyue won't be afraid either. When Yueyue grows up, she will definitely protect Grandma!"
A childish voice rang out in the room, and Qin Qing's hand froze instantly. A few ripples stirred in her heart, and her gaze shifted to the little girl in front of her.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say; a lump formed in her throat as if she were suppressing her emotions.
Just then, another little hand reached out, and she looked up as she held it…
Xiao Muxing also looked distressed and guilty, clearly feeling bad. Peony looked at her and gave her a comforting smile, silently offering her great encouragement.
Seeing their expressions, how could Qin Qing not be moved? He looked at them with a complicated expression, and after a long while, he finally sighed.
"Grandma didn't want this to happen either, I'm sorry for making you worry.
She said that, but she still couldn't ignore the coldness and anger deep inside her at that moment, and she didn't know how much of it reflected her true feelings...
Hearing her apologize, Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue reached out and hugged her arms. They looked very cute and innocent, but their expressions were very serious.
"No matter what Grandma did, Xingxing will never hate Grandma! Besides, those people weren't good people to begin with, Grandma did nothing wrong!"
Xiao Muyue nodded vigorously to show her agreement, which finally softened Qin Qing's heart, and she reached out to gently hug them!
No one knew how calm she was at this moment; although she was moved, she didn't have the intense emotions she had before... Could the effects of the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower have become so severe?
The atmosphere in the room gradually improved, but Qin Qing knew that she seemed to be growing increasingly calm and indifferent...
After the family washed up, they ate something together and then went to sleep…
The next morning, the group got up early. Because they were worried about her grandson Muyang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the two little ones were unusually excited!
Qin Zifeng got ready early. Upon hearing that he was going to meet his brother (brother-in-law) whom he had never met before, he quickly put on new clothes, tied up his long hair, and dressed in white, looking as elegant and refined as jade!
As soon as Qin Qing opened the door, she saw a very clean-looking young man standing there. Her eyes lit up, especially at the awkwardness and nervousness on his face. He looked innocent and naive, and his rosy lips and white teeth made him even more endearing.
Xiao Muxing and the others had also finished dressing when they saw the boy at the door. They exclaimed in surprise and ran over as fast as their legs could carry them.
Wow! You're Ah Gou? You look so good! This outfit suits you so well!
After saying that, Qin Zifeng's face turned red at a visible speed, and his nervous and shy eyes darted around but dared not look at Xiao Muxing!
Qin Qing couldn't help but laugh at this scene, and suddenly thought that this pair of childhood sweethearts wasn't so bad!
Qin Qing was also dressed in a simple blue outfit today. Her skin, which had been tanned a bit before, had gradually become fairer. Her black hair was tied up like that of an ordinary woman, and her eyes and brows held a touch of tenderness. Even without makeup, she was still beautiful and charming, and looked very elegant.
Peony was a girl in her early teens, wearing a pale yellow dress and a simple hairpin. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look gentle and lovely!
Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue were even more adorable. Qin Qing bought two pink flower ribbons and tied two buns for each of the two little ones, with a few cute bangs in front. Their skin was tender and smooth, and their big eyes were bright and clear!
Xiao Muxing is arrogant and unrestrained, feisty yet intelligent, clearly possessing a fiery temperament and sharp eyes.
Xiao Muyue is innocent, lively and cute, but she is also a little shy and timid, and always sticks to Qin Qing's side.
Although the two sisters are only one year apart, they are equally beautiful, with delicate features and natural beauty! Plus, they are wearing the same pink dresses, so if you don't look at them, you can hardly tell them apart.
The sight of this family walking down from upstairs captivated the guests who were having breakfast that morning!
"Where did this family come from? The girl is so beautiful!"
"Hey! Isn't that the family from yesterday? They look really good when they're all tidying up!"
"This woman looks to be in her early thirties, she must be their mother, right? Her charm is far more alluring than my wife's!"
"..."
As the family walked out of the inn, everyone started whispering among themselves, with some even speculating that they might be concubines kept by some important figures…
By this time, Qin Qing and the others had already gone far away, but Qin Qing could still hear their discussion. Looking at the calm-looking people around her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she instantly realized that only she had heard it! She wasn't particularly happy about her keen hearing.
Since the purpose of this trip was to find Mu Yang, she didn't go anywhere else, but took her family straight to the academy...
"Mu Yang? You mean that kid who's as stubborn as a mule when he reads a book?"
A scholar-like man happened to walk out of the academy and looked surprised when he heard her question!
Qin Qing was taken aback, but thinking of her own mature and steady nature, she quickly nodded.
