Tianyuan City, City Lord's Mansion.
When Luo Ji saw Zheng Wu Hui and Zheng Wan Ning return, she immediately went to greet them.
"You're back." Luo Ji smiled broadly. "I just brewed some spiritual tea, and it tastes just right now."
The moment Zheng Wanning saw Luo Ji, his whole body tensed up.
Zheng Wu Hui took a step forward, shielding Zheng Wan Ning behind him, and his face instantly turned cold.
"Wan Ning, I've prepared a defensive magical artifact for you—the Ice Blue Robe. Come and try it on." Luo Ji seemed oblivious to this, still speaking with a friendly expression.
"Luo Ji, what trick are you trying to pull now?" Zheng Wu Hui said coldly.
"Husband, I don't understand what you're saying," Luo Ji smiled. "I'm preparing a defensive magic weapon for my daughter. Is there a problem with that?"
"Wanning, you go back first." Zheng Wuhui gently patted Zheng Wanning's shoulder and said in a gentle tone.
"Mm." Zheng Wanning nodded, without a trace of lingering affection.
“Wanning…” Luo Ji reached out to grab Zheng Wanning’s arm, but Zheng Wu Hui stopped her.
"Husband, what are you doing?" Luo Ji asked reproachfully.
"Luo Ji, don't you know what you've done?" Zheng Wu Hui asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about..." Luo Ji slapped Zheng Wu Hui's hand away and frowned.
“Alright, let’s be frank.” Zheng Wu Hui asked, “Back then, why did you help Zheng Wan Yu transplant Wan Ning’s spiritual root? Isn’t Wan Ning your daughter?”
Loki's expression changed drastically, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, pursing her lips, "Who told you that?"
"Does it matter who said it?" Zheng Wu Hui asked.
“That’s all nonsense,” Luo Ji said. “Wan Ning and Wan Yu are both my daughters. They’re both my flesh and blood, how could I…”
"Do you know the Soul Searching Technique?" Zheng Wu Hui interrupted.
"What...what exactly are you trying to say?" Loki asked, clenching her fingers.
"Why should we help Zheng Wanyu transplant Wan Ning's spiritual root?" Zheng Wu Hui asked directly.
“I didn’t!” Loki said, taking two steps back.
"You still want to deny it? Everyone saw it under the Soul Searching Technique." Zheng Wu Hui grabbed Luo Ji's arm and asked bluffingly.
Loki's face gradually turned completely white.
Then her shoulders began to tremble, and tears fell in a steady stream, making her look pitiful and aggrieved.
“What could I do? Wan Yu had already made her move. Wan Ning was lying in a pool of blood, on the verge of death. Her spiritual meridians had been severed, and she could no longer cultivate. Even if I killed Wan Yu, I couldn’t change the outcome. I might as well take a gamble. After all, Wan Ning’s spiritual root is special. If we succeed, we will have another genius daughter. Even if we fail, the outcome won’t be any worse…”
Snap!
Zheng Wu Hui slapped Luo Ji so hard she stumbled.
"Are you even speaking human language?" Zheng Wu Hui asked through gritted teeth, pointing at Luo Ji.
"I did nothing wrong. Since it has already happened, we should try to minimize the damage as soon as possible. It's better than losing everything in the end," Luo Ji said stubbornly, covering her face.
"Cut your losses in time?" Zheng Wu Hui looked at Luo Ji in disbelief: "That's our daughter, the daughter you carried for ten months and gave birth to!"
“Yes, that’s my daughter.” Luo Ji looked up at Zheng Wu Hui, her lips pressed tightly together, and said, “I owe Wan Ning the debt of giving birth to me. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t exist! Whatever I want to do to her, she deserves it!”
"You want to be nice to Wan Ning now, and get closer to her, because Zheng Wanyu is dead. So this is your new way to cut your losses, right?" Zheng Wu Hui suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and asked.
“Yes!” Loki nodded through gritted teeth, as if she were ready to give up.
"You're absolutely unreasonable!" Zheng Wu Hui said, clenching his fist.
His name is Zheng Wuhui. Throughout his life, he has always lived by the principle of having a clear conscience and never regretting his actions.
But now he regrets it.
He regretted marrying such a vicious woman without even realizing it.
Today, he will divorce this woman and then avenge Wan Ning.
Zheng Wu Hui simply tore off a piece of his clothes, bit his finger, and did it in one swift motion.
Then it was given to Loki.
"This is a letter of divorce! From today onwards, we are no longer husband and wife!"
"You, you want to divorce me?" Luo Ji's hand holding the divorce papers trembled uncontrollably.
"I'm not just going to divorce you!" Zheng Wu Hui said, his spiritual energy surging around him, and his eyes revealing killing intent.
“You can’t kill me, I gave birth to them,” Loki said, taking a step back.
"These decades of torment have been enough! Besides, it was I who wanted to kill you, and it had nothing to do with Wan Ning." Zheng Wu Hui said, "Transplanting someone else's spiritual root, whether the mastermind or an accomplice, deserves to die!"
"Zheng Wu Hui, do you think you can kill me?" Luo Ji looked at Zheng Wu Hui coldly.
They are at the same level, no matter what.
Moreover, she is a wind spirit root known for her speed.
If you can't beat them and want to run away, he can't stop you.
Seeing the murderous intent in Zheng Wu Hui's eyes, Luo Ji immediately turned and fled.
It can be said that the speed has been pushed to the extreme.
It can be said that she performed at her best.
However……
Loki felt as if her back was being torn apart, the pain piercing to the bone.
He crashed to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Luo Ji struggled to lift her head and saw Zheng Wu Hui standing imposingly not far away, holding a... rake in his hand.
"Heavens, a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Artifact!" Luo Ji clutched her chest, her breath weak. "You...you only know how to rely on external forces?"
“If you have one, you can rely on it.” Zheng Wu Hui lovingly touched the rake in his hand, then said seriously, “Even if I don’t use a Heaven-grade spiritual weapon, you can’t escape.”
"Impossible!" Luo Ji said weakly, "Among those of the same cultivation level, I am the fastest!"
“You said it yourself, we’re at the same level.” Zheng Wu Hui sneered, “But I’m already at the Creation Realm.”
"What? This, this is impossible!" Loki shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with disbelief.
He was still in the Returning Origin Realm when he left home this morning.
How could that be possible in just one day...
"What kind of opportunity did you get? For the sake of our past as husband and wife, could you share some with me? I promise to be a good wife and a good mother in the future," Luo Ji pleaded tearfully.
"For the sake of our past as husband and wife, I'll give you a quick death!" Zheng Wu Hui grabbed him with a rake.
Loki fought desperately, but she was no match for him and soon curled up on the ground, motionless.
Zheng Wu Hui looked at Luo Ji's body and sighed, "Qin Qi, give her a proper burial."
When a person dies, all things cease to exist.
She has already paid the price for what she did.
"Yes." Qin Qi nodded and dragged Luo Ji's body away.
Zheng Wu Hui put away the rake, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Zheng Wan Ning's courtyard.
Wan Ning has been persecuted to this day, and he also bears a great deal of responsibility. He is willing to give everything to make amends to this poor daughter.
P.S.: It's the third day since I caught the virus. It's my birthday with no cake, just pills. Oh no, not only pills, but also a knife stuck in my throat. I want to cry...
