She abruptly stopped! Her face contorted into a grimace, her once beautiful features now contorted with resentment! Her tone shifted swiftly as she roared!
"Why! Why have you changed... You've become more and more terrifying, even watching others bully me without you seeing or hearing a thing! My love! I love you so much!"
Qin Qing listened with a sense of helplessness. The vows of eternal love would always fade away unnoticed, leaving only the mundane and the real. In her memory, Xiujuan was one of the most beautiful women in the village. When Lao Ma first met her, he couldn't help but dote on her and was happy. But how long could such love last?
"Pfft! Cough cough!"
At this moment, the young woman suddenly started coughing violently, followed by spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her body rapidly weakened, and the old horse lying in her arms was splattered with blood all over its face!
Old Ma was on his last breath, his face drained of color, and he couldn't even utter a word. He could only passively listen to the young woman's accusations, his eyes wide open, seemingly hinting at his unwillingness to accept defeat!
Qin Qing rushed over and quickly checked the young woman's vital signs, but his brows furrowed even more deeply; the poison had entered her heart and lungs…
Her expression changed, and without thinking, she quickly took out a bottle of water from her spatial storage and was about to give it to the young woman to drink in order to induce vomiting, but the young woman refused.
"Auntie...no need! Cough cough...I'm already a withered flower, don't bother saving me. There's no point in living anyway, why waste this water!"
Her face was pale, and she was vomiting large amounts of blood from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were gradually becoming unfocused, but she had a smile of relief on her face.
"Are you a god? Last night... ugh..."
As she spoke, she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and her whole body seemed to lose its vitality, quickly succumbing to weakness...
Qin Qing quickly supported her as she fell, looking at her with a complicated expression.
"sorry…"
The young woman looked up at her face upon hearing this, and it gradually overlapped with the plump, fair-skinned woman she remembered who had come to her house to propose marriage. After a moment, she smiled, a smile filled with helplessness…
"Enough, Auntie... don't blame yourself... perhaps this is my fate! I only wish... in the next life, it won't be like this..."
As she spoke, the young woman's voice grew softer and softer until she finally stopped breathing and her eyes closed tightly. Only then did Qin Qing realize that she had lost her life...
Feeling the gradually cooling corpse in her arms, Qin Qing's heart became increasingly complicated. After a moment, she gently picked up the young woman, glanced at the old horse on the ground that was still staring at her with wide eyes, and anger rose from her heart!
"bump!"
Qin Qing's face was icy cold as she swiftly flung out a dagger from her spatial storage, plunging it directly into Old Ma's forehead with deadly precision! The attack killed him instantly, leaving him no chance to even feel fear!
"Coward, you don't deserve to be buried with Xiujuan!"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back!
She looked at Xiujuan again as she approached the fire, then threw her into it, her gaze filled with complex emotions.
"I'm sorry, but this is the middle of nowhere. If I bury you, wild animals will dig you up anyway. You might as well rest in peace here."
On the carriage in the distance, the children watched Qin Qing's lonely figure as he faced the firelight, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
The coachman sat to one side, watching Qin Qing, a seemingly frail woman, easily lift another woman. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked at Qin Qing in surprise… Could it be… that she was the female demon rumored at the inn entrance the other day?!
At this moment, Qin Qing turned her gaze to the woods. To prevent the fire from spreading, she reached out and unleashed a torrent of water, directly targeting the most raging section of the forest and effectively stopping its spread…
Then, with a few more actions, water appeared out of nowhere and rained down from the sky, quickly extinguishing the fire!
The coachman stared dumbfounded at the unbelievable scene before him, his mouth agape, his body trembling uncontrollably, his mind replaying the dagger that had vanished during the day…
My God! He witnessed a miracle!!
After Qin Qing finished extinguishing the fire, he looked at the ground and saw that the young woman's body had been burned to a crisp, which looked very out of place against the backdrop of the charred remains all around.
Before they knew it, the sky had completely darkened. A cold wind blew, and the coachman subconsciously shivered, only then realizing how deep the night was.
Five days later, an inconspicuous ordinary carriage drove into the capital city gates. After arriving at the post station, the coachman quickly jumped off the carriage and stood aside with awe in his eyes.
"Um... Madam, we've arrived!"
Then, a pair of white hands reached out from inside, and the moment the carriage curtain was lifted, a beautiful face appeared before them. The lady had fair skin, deep and calm eyes, and a gentle yet charming temperament, making her very eye-catching.
"Thank you so much for everything these past few days!"
As she spoke, she took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the coachman. Before the coachman could refuse, she continued.
"Consider the rest yours!"
After saying this, the woman stepped down from the carriage first, her purple silk dress making her look even more mysterious and elegant.
Then, the woman reached out and took out a little girl with her hair in a bun. Her big eyes were full of confusion, and she looked like she had just woken up.
After blinking her eyes, Xiao Muyue looked at Qin Qing and then continued to sleep on her shoulder!
Her adorable sleeping face drew frequent glances from passersby…
At that moment, another small figure jumped off the car, her cute little face full of disdain and arrogance.
"Hmph! You're so big and you still want Grandma to carry you, how shameful!"
Passersby couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, before realizing what she meant. They were all astonished to discover that the beautiful woman was actually the grandmother of the two little girls.
The next second, a young man dressed in white brocade stepped out of the carriage. He had delicate features, a smiling face, and a gentle demeanor! He attracted many people's attention and made the eyes of the women on the roadside light up!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyue rubbed her sleepy eyes, pouted, and said in a childish voice.
"Grandma, put me down! I'm all grown up now, I don't need Grandma to hold me anymore!"
Qin Qing smiled upon hearing this, then put the little girl down. Before he could say anything, another doting yet helpless voice came from inside the carriage.
“Mom… Yueyue is right. She’s almost six years old. It’s really not good to keep holding her like that.”
A clear, crisp voice rang out, clearly belonging to a young girl. Looking up, one could see a girl in a pale yellow dress jumping off the carriage, her delicate face full of gentleness and playfulness!
After everyone disembarked from the carriage, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What an amazing family of good-looking people!"
After the coachman thanked him respectfully, he quickly drove the carriage away...
