It wasn't until the following day that news of his and Prefect Zhou's deaths arrived.
After leaving the Ling family, Ling Bin didn't wait a moment longer and went directly to see the prefect in Zhou Caishi's name.
He also renovated the mansion in the name of his son-in-law, and the amount he proposed made the prefect's eyes light up.
Their attitude towards him became much more humble, and after a long chat, the two began to enjoy drinks together.
As Prefect Zhou became increasingly drunk, Ling Bin dismissed the servants, cut off his head, and placed it on the table.
Finally, he went to the spot where Wu Lewei had been shot and committed suicide there.
He thought that as long as he wrote a letter severing ties with the Ling family, his family would not be implicated.
They never considered harming high-ranking officials of the imperial court; even with a letter of severance, they still couldn't escape being implicated and punished.
Everyone in the Ling family, including their relatives, was beheaded; not a single one survived.
This also made Pidan realize that no matter how he changed the course of events, the outcome would be the same.
The so-called trial was not about him overcoming numerous challenges.
It's not about making him more courageous and decisive, but about smoothing out all his rough edges.
Make them submissive and obedient, so they no longer know how to resist.
Just like in real life, he has to accept whatever others offer him.
It was like this when we were created, it was like this when we entered the trials, and it was like this when we became the origin of chaos.
He didn't even have a chance to refuse; no one asked for his opinion, they simply made the decision for him.
So when he woke up again on their wedding night, he no longer resisted.
Instead, like a puppet, it has completely forgotten all its past memories.
With candles and red curtains draped over the room, shadows overlapped. The world no longer held the lively and thoughtful Pidan; only Ling Yu, the second son of the Ling family, remained.
The trial has now ended, and Pidan has returned to his original body, officially becoming the source of chaos.
A god who has no love or desires, and only follows the rules blindly.
When Qin Luo saw that he had woken up, her smile widened, and then she hugged him tightly.
"Pierced Egg, you're back? You passed the trial?"
Looking at her excited expression, Pidan seemed quite puzzled.
Why are you so happy?
Qin Luo was frozen in place by his cold words, and only responded after a long while.
Are you still my preserved egg?
Preserved Egg first nodded, then shook his head.
“I am a preserved egg, but not your preserved egg. I am the origin of chaos, the guardian of this place, and I do not belong to anyone.”
After he finished speaking, Qin Luo turned his gaze to the little guy who was watching the show from the sidelines.
Do you two know what's going on?
The little guy waved his hand first.
"I don't know, you'll have to ask my brother about that."
Then he nodded.
“I know that the successor to the Chaos Origin must act in accordance with the will left behind by the previous Origin.”
"The previous leader's intentions? Do you know what those previous leader's intentions were?"
After Qin Luo finished asking the question, Qian An nodded again.
"Hmm, judging from my uncle's appearance, the message he received was about being loyal to his duty and having no desires..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's gaze towards him held a complex expression.
"Without desires or wants, what's the difference between you and a puppet? Qinzhi, you're really something."
The little one didn't understand why she was looking at him and saying those words, so he could only blink and look at her.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Yes, Auntie, you're so scary."
The two calls of "Auntie" brought Qin Luo back to her senses, and she sighed silently.
This little fellow is no longer the demon child Mischel, nor the source of chaos, Qinzhi.
Instead, it was Mao Mao's children, Qin Mingchang and Qin Qian'an.
So she composed herself, smiled reassuringly at the two of them, and said she was fine.
Then, he looked at the preserved egg with a serious expression.
"Lord Origin, the demon race has mobilized all its forces, and the Lord of the Beast Realm and the beasts are fighting against the enemy in front of the isolation barrier. We hope you can lend a hand."
The way he addressed me as "sir" and "you" felt like needles pricking my heart; I had an indescribable feeling.
He raised his hand and patted his chest before nodding in response.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Wait..."
Just as he was about to fly away, Qin Luo called him back again.
"My lord, I hope you will remove the barrier at the entrance first. The Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm is just outside the barrier and can come to our aid."
This time, Pidan didn't reply. Instead, he waved towards the entrance and flew directly towards the isolation barrier.
Qin Luo also grabbed his arm and left with him, leaving behind the array barrier set up by Wu Hua and Tengteng.
Upon seeing this, Mingchang and Qian'an immediately gave chase.
"Auntie, you're cheating! You said you'd wait here."
"That's right, how can you go back on your word?"
Qin Luo smiled brightly.
"Haha, because the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is."
Upon hearing this, Pidan couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't know why he was laughing; he just felt that the scene was very heartwarming.
Ming Chang and Qian An were speechless. They had no idea what this aunt, with her wrinkled face and looking like a Shar-Pei, was like.
Where does she get the courage to call herself a beautiful woman?
But even though that's what he thought, he wouldn't dare say it aloud.
Otherwise, even if Qin Luo didn't blame them, Mao Mao, as their mother, would beat them half to death.
"Forget about whether you're pretty or not, just take care of us first. Mother said that if she doesn't take good care of you, she'll skin us alive."
"Yes, Auntie, we're still young, we don't want to be naughty..."
Qin Luo remained completely unmoved by their pitiful words.
"It's alright, your mother is just a charlatan, all talk and no action."
