Hu Tao's face swelled up instantly.
Fish scales mixed with blood fell off her body, and she felt both pain and itching all over.
It's so painful, so incredibly painful.
Not only was there physical pain, but also the grief of being slapped by Wang Hu.
This is her son...
Hu Tao screamed and desperately grabbed Wang Hu's hair, tearing off a large piece of fish scale from her face.
"Wang Hu, I'm your mother! How could you hit me?!"
"ah--!"
Wang Hu was immediately covered in blood, and he completely lost his mind.
"You hit me, I'll kill you!!"
The two started fighting like madmen, giving Wang Liangshan a terrible headache. He forcefully pulled them apart, and the scene descended into chaos.
Wang Qian laughed heartily, "Good for you! Let's all die together!"
Hu Tao must be heartbroken right now; her dearest son actually wanted to kill her.
Whenever there's something good, Hu Tao thinks of her son, and the same goes for that fish.
Unexpectedly, everyone who ate that fish was cursed, and Wang Hu, who ate the most, died the fastest.
Hu Tao personally pushed her son to hell; this is truly retribution.
Wang Qian laughed until tears streamed down her face, constantly stirring things up from the sidelines.
"Pull your hair, Wang Hu."
“Tear off his fish scales, Walnut.”
Wang Liangshan's brow twitched. When did his family become like this, wishing the other to die?
In his eyes, his wife was a bit suspicious, his son was a bit rebellious, and his daughter was a bit willful, but they were all good people.
When did this loving family start to change?
Lin Xi threw out a talisman that immobilizes someone.
Hu Tao and Wang Hu seemed to have pressed the pause button, remaining frozen in strange positions, still cursing under their breath.
"Go to hell!"
"Wang Hu, I'm your mother, you should go die!"
Lin Xi walked over and put a silencing talisman on each person.
Finally, it quieted down.
Hu Tao and Wang Hu opened and closed their mouths, but neither of them could make a sound.
When Wang Qian saw this, she covered her mouth tightly, afraid that things would turn out this way.
Wang Liangshan suddenly came to his senses, "Master Lin, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Lin Xi asked, "You know everything, yet you still want to break this curse?"
Wang Liangshan scanned the faces of Hu Tao, Wang Hu, and Wang Qian one by one, and remained silent for a minute.
He slowly said, "Master Lin, thank you for your trouble."
He couldn't abandon his wife, son, and daughter.
Wang Liangshan said, word by word, "Master Lin, I am willing to give everything to atone for the koi fish, hoping it will spare the lives of Hu Tao and the other two."
Lin Xi glanced at him and said meaningfully, "They have two kinds of fish scales on their bodies."
Wang Liangshan asked in confusion, "They killed two fish?"
Wang Qian shook her head and shouted, "Dad, I absolutely did not kill any fish except for that golden koi."
Wang Liangshan was full of questions, "Why are there two kinds of fish scales?"
"Just ask that koi fish."
Lin Xi touched her chin.
The dark brown fish scales on Hu Tao and the other two were enough to plunge them into endless suffering and eventually kill them.
The person who cast the curse hated them to the core and used the most insidious spell.
Lin Xi looked at Wang Qian, the only one who was awake, and said, "You said you've seen a koi fish turn into a ghost."
Wang Qian nodded, not daring to hide anything, "Last night, I couldn't sleep because I was so itchy. When I opened my eyes, I saw a dark, fuzzy thing that looked a bit like a fish."
"The dark shadow circled above my head and then left."
Lin Xi roughly understood the meaning of koi.
What a foolish fish, turning into a fish ghost and running off to the Wang family.
"We're waiting here for the koi to come."
Wang Liangshan cautiously asked, "Master, is there anything we need to prepare?"
"No need, the koi will definitely come," Lin Xi said calmly. "Bring me a chair."
Wang Liangshan: "Li San."
Li San resigned himself to his fate and did as instructed.
It got dark.
Hu Tao and Wang Hu remained in that position, their bodies aching and itchy, yet they couldn't move.
Wang Qian sat in the bathtub, silent.
The room was dark, with the lights off.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the wall.
The dark figure emerged through the wall, and seemed momentarily stunned upon seeing the state of the room.
It flicked its tail and flew towards Wang Qian.
Lin Xi stepped in front of him, "Hello, Koi."
Upon hearing her voice, the koi's eyes suddenly widened.
Wow, this human can see me.
It stood still for a full five seconds, circling around Linxi.
She has a shimmering, sparkling light about her.
I love it, let me stick it on.
Lin Xi stood there, stunned. The koi seemed very happy.
Ordinary people—no, I should say ordinary fish—would run away the moment they see a human.
Lin Xi reached out, and Jinli pouted and gently kissed her fingertips.
Now, the koi fish was even more excited.
It raised its tail and blew bubbles in the air.
I kissed the sparkly little human, and I'm so happy.
Oh dear, there are still important things to do, I can't be so happy.
The koi stopped blowing bubbles and flew towards Wang Hu.
Lin Xi spoke up, "Koi, why did you come to the Wang family?"
The koi opened its mouth and made a strange sound, "Gurgle gurgle..."
Linxi couldn't understand fish language at all.
Do you speak human language?
The koi shook its head, "Glug glug~"
Animals have a transverse bone in their throat; if this bone is refined, it can make them speak human language.
Lin Xi patted the koi's head. "It will hurt a little later, just bear with it."
The koi carp kissed her palm.
I'm so excited to be able to cuddle with the little humans again.
Her palms feel so comfortable, I'm so happy.
A cool touch came over her, and Lin Xi smiled helplessly. This fish actually liked to be with its owner.
