Chapter 227: Born Not Xiaguang
"Please, please let my daughter go. If you want... then take my life, not my daughter's."
"She's only five years old... She still has a lot of life ahead of her. Please take my life. I'm willing to exchange mine for my daughter's!"
As screams came from inside, the lady outside the tent collapsed on the ground and did not get up and leave until dawn, with endless hatred in her eyes.
The scene changed several times, and all of them were scenes of the girl taking people's lives, until finally, she left the protection of the guards and was besieged on a mountain top.
"Witch, return my daughter's life to me..."
"And me! My newborn son. My family has been the only son for three generations. My daughter-in-law died of depression after losing her child. The next year, my son also died. We are the ones sending off the young."
"This is all because of you! Open your eyes and take a look. You killed our child in order to become the most powerful witch in Beining and to achieve immortality. We are here today to seek revenge on you."
At this time, the girl was already fourteen or fifteen years old, and her face was filled with horror as she looked at the group of people and the killer in front of her.
"I...I am the next miko. If you kill me today, the emperor will never let you go."
"Besides, it's an honor for your children to be able to contribute to me. If you lose your child, you can just have another one. Why are you being so hypocritical?"
The woman whose child she had killed in the royal enclosure now had white hair and was walking forward step by step with a dagger in her hand.
"Honor? You killed our child, and that's their honor? How dare you say such a thing? If that's the case, it's also your honor that we risked our lives to kill you."
"If we dare to kill you again today, we are ready to risk our lives. As long as we can kill you, even if the emperor takes our lives, it doesn't matter!"
"Today, I will make you pay for my daughter's life! Go to hell!"
The girl watched in horror as the woman retreated step by step, and finally she missed a step and fell off the cliff. There was a river at the bottom of the cliff, so she was lucky not to die.
However, there were too many people chasing her and her witchcraft had not awakened. Seeing that there was no hope of returning, she had to go back to the Great Zhou Dynasty after several twists and turns, and by chance she entered the palace and became a maid.
In fact, it was not the third-generation ancestor of the Xiao family who had sex with her after drinking, but she drugged the ancestor of the Xiao family in order to use the emperor's power to return to Beining.
Her witchcraft will only be activated after she returns to Beining and undergoes the ceremony. If she can't go back, then it is acceptable for her to make a good living in this palace.
But what she didn't expect was that after the emperor took her in, he didn't take her seriously at all. Even when she got pregnant unexpectedly and was bullied in the harem, she didn't get a single look of pity from the emperor, only endless disgust and indifference.
In the end, her plan failed, and she could only forcibly activate the witchcraft and return to Beining with her son.
In the illusion, the day before returning to Beining, she looked at the Taoist priest applying medicine to his wound alone in the corner and wanted to kill him several times, but then she laughed.
She muttered to herself: "The blood of the Xiao family in you really makes me sick, but killing you would be too easy for you. It would be better to let your family kill each other."
"Anyone who wrongs me must die, all of them must die!"
After the scene in the illusion ended, the Taoist priest stopped struggling.
"Did you see that? Your so-called kind mother killed so many people, even newborn babies."
"Her unfortunate death was all her own fault, and you... were merely a tool for her revenge. She's such a selfish person, how could she not resent the Xiao family's ancestors for not caring about her and not giving her wealth and glory?"
The Heavenly Master kept shaking his head: "Impossible, impossible, my mother said that she fled to the Great Zhou because she didn't want to be a witch and yearned for freedom. It was also forced by the ancestors of the Xiao family. It's not what you said, it's not... This illusion was created by you, right?"
"You lied to me! You lied to me!"
There was no emotion in Xiao Yulan's eyes: "Lying to you? Aren't you a Heavenly Master? Don't you know witchcraft? You can tell whether this illusion is real or not, right?"
The Taoist priest collapsed. After being pulled out of the illusion by Xiao Yulan, he slumped in the yard and kept saying that it was impossible.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you? Bu Ruo is in there, go and absorb her life force quickly. Her child will be born soon, and then you can take the life force of both children at once."
It was unknown what Bu Yanfu had said that offended the Taoist priest. He raised his head and looked at Bu Yanfu with a look that seemed to make him want to cut her into pieces.
"You lied to me...why did you lie to me? Why did you even spare a baby? Even someone like me who has lived in hatred since childhood has only relied on witchcraft and secret medicine to survive, and has never harmed a baby."
"Weren't you forced? Haven't you ever done anything bad? Why did you lie to me? Why... Did you ever love me?"
"You took me away so that I could kill the Xiao family and avenge you one day, right?"
"Am I your son or a tool?"
After saying this, the Taoist priest stood up and walked towards Bu Yanfu step by step, and grabbed her neck in front of her terrified eyes.
"Why...why did you lie to me? Can't we just be ordinary mother and son? Do you know how much pain I've endured these past few hundred years trying to avenge you?"
"It turns out that everything was a lie, everything was a lie to me. My kind mother never loved me at all. My mother... is actually a murderous demon..."
"It's over, everything is over..."
The Taoist priest threw Bu Yanfu out with great force, and only stopped when she hit a tree and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just as Xiao Yulan was about to turn around to deal with the shadows and killers, a baby cried out. Countless flowers spread out from the room, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky...
"Look... look... thousands of rays of light, it's actually thousands of rays of light!"
The woman on the horizon held the man's hand tightly, and was so excited that she almost broke his fingers.
"It hurts~it hurts~be gentle, my aunt~"
"It's Wan Dao Xia Guang. Ruo'er gave birth to two Wan Dao Xia Guangs!"
The man was speechless: "Ruo'er didn't give birth to Xia Guang, she gave birth to a child..."
"Shut up! I said the glow is the glow."
The man was speechless: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine."
As the first child was born, the sunset glowed and countless evil spirits instantly disappeared and turned into dust.
When the second child was born, the rosy glow disappeared, and the earth was covered with golden light. The killer with countless lives on his body fell to the ground and was no longer breathing. The Taoist priest also turned into a dying old man.
