After crushing the two rove beetles to death, Lin Dan also returned home. Yu Yeying kept following her and kept asking her for the remaining ladybug.
"What do you want it for?" Lin Dan took the transparent box in his hand but was reluctant to hand it over.
"I just want to play." Yu Yeying tilted her head and smiled at Lin Dan in a very innocent and cute way. Because she suffered a lot in her early years, her height was fixed at the age of thirteen and never grew again. Even after being admitted to university and hanging out with people of her own age, she still looked like a child who had not grown up.
This made her very popular in the academy.
But it was obvious that Lin Dan was no longer buying her tricks. "You want to torture Liu Ruoyun indirectly by torturing this insect, right?" Lin Dan directly exposed her thoughts.
Yu Yeying stuck out her tongue and had to admit, "Yes, she almost killed you. What's wrong with me torturing her? If I get this bug, I will prick it with a needle, burn it with fire, and drown it with water. When it is dying, I will revive it and start the next round of torture. I want to make her live a life worse than death and be trapped in pain and despair for the rest of her life!"
As she spoke, Yu Yeying's innocent and cute expression turned into one of resentment. Her little face turned pale as paper and she looked like a ghost. There was indeed something wrong with her mentality. Even though she had been suppressing it for years, she was still unable to adjust.
Lin Dan sighed deeply, opened the transparent box, took out the bug, and crushed it under Ye Ying's expectant gaze.
"You, why did you crush it to death? Lin Dan, what are you doing? This is too easy for Liu Ruoyun! Don't you want to avenge yourself by torturing it?" Yu Yeying almost jumped up from the sofa, her face full of pain.
Lin Dan said slowly: "Ye Ying, you think you are torturing Liu Ruoyun, but in fact, in my eyes, in the eyes of everyone, what you are really torturing is always just a bug. Will torturing a bug bring value to your life? No, it will only make you look ridiculous. I give you a suggestion. If you want to live a good life, don't waste your time on unworthy people and things. You are the most precious thing."
She reached out her hand, rubbed Yu Yeying's head, and then placed the dead insect in her palm, saying, "Look, this is just a bug. Don't compare me, or yourself, to a bug, okay?"
Yu Yeying stared at the insect in her hand, her eyes changing constantly. Yes, it really is just a bug, and in Lin Dan’s heart, Liu Ruoyun is probably not even as good as this bug. Why does she spend so much time on it? Lin Dan has always been like this. She always has a scale in her heart to weigh what is important and what is not important. She will try her best to cherish the important people and things, but she won't even look at the irrelevant people and things.
That's why she is so strong, so rational, and so warm.
Yu Yeying hopes that she can become someone like Lin Dan one day in the future, so why not start now? It's just a bug, it doesn't really matter. Thinking of this, she slowly exhaled and nodded, "Lin Dan, I understand. I will try my best to live a good life every day and not go astray."
Only then did Lin Dan gently pat her shoulder and smile with satisfaction. Just at this moment, her cell phone rang and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen. She watched for a while, and seeing that the other party had not hung up, she picked up the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Lin Dan, it's me." A very magnetic voice came from the microphone.
"Zhou Xuan?" Lin Dan was stunned.
"Well, I found Ai Yu." Zhou Xuan spoke slowly.
"Has she been living well these years?" Lin Dan couldn't help but ask. She had no friendship with Ai Yu, so naturally she didn't care about the other person's life or death, but she was very curious about how a person with a changed Taoist bone would live, and whether he could continue to practice the mysterious arts in the future.
Zhou Xuan was silent for a long time before he chuckled and said, "Lin Dan, have you ever investigated who cast the black magic on you?"
Lin Dan said as a matter of course: "After getting their blood, we can just return it in the same way. Do we still need to sit down and meet and say hello?"
"Hehehe..." Zhou Xuan's low laughter continued to come from the microphone, as if he had encountered something extremely interesting.
Lin Dan wanted to hang up the phone, but he seemed to sense something and immediately stopped laughing. He said softly, "Lin Dan, you are cuter than before. I won't leave again after I come back this time. You will see me often in the future. Are you looking forward to it?"
He was responded with a series of rapid "beep" sounds, but he did not take it as an offense. Instead, he smiled even more happily.
Lin Dan had just hung up the phone with Zhou Xuan when another unfamiliar number called. She seemed to sense something and quickly answered the call.
"Lin Dan, I'm your father." A hoarse voice broke the silence.
Lin Dan said calmly: "I don't have a father."
"It's true that I didn't appear in your life, but you can't deny that I gave you the other half of your bloodline." Obviously, Liu Liang had a certain understanding of the community of sorcerers, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the word "bloodline" indirectly.
Lin Dan was silent for two seconds and then asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask you to let Ruoyun go. After all, she is your sister."
"Impossible." Lin Dan looked at the dead bug casually thrown on the table, with no expression on his face. She will not be soft-hearted towards anyone who tries to hurt her.
Liu Liang's voice choked up, and he said dejectedly, "Can we come out and talk? We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"No." Lin Dan remained indifferent.
Liu Liang listened to her calm voice and felt angry, but he still said patiently: "I have something your mother left for you. Don't you want to know what happened between her and me back then? I didn't abandon you on purpose."
Thinking of the original owner's mother, Lin Dan fell silent, and after a long while he spit out a string of addresses. Liu Liang immediately took note, packed up his things, and left home under the eager gaze of his wife and daughter. Chen Qiu and Chen Chu have already gone to find someone to find a solution. The most important thing now is to stabilize Lin Dan and prevent her from killing again. However, he didn't know that the reason why Liu Ruoyun didn't die immediately was not because Lin Dan didn't do it, but because that was her original fate. She should have endured months of pain and then died in endless agony. As long as Chen Qiu can't find a more powerful mystic than Lin Dan to solve this situation, she will definitely die.
The two met in a teahouse. When Liu Liang arrived, Lin Dan was already sitting in the reserved private room. A handsome young man was making tea for her and whispering something in her ear from time to time with a very gentle attitude.
"Are you Lin Dan?" Liu Liang walked in slowly and looked at the girl sitting by the window in disbelief. She was very beautiful, and not even the bright sunlight behind her could take away a bit of her charm. Her fluffy, soft hair was slightly curled and swayed back and forth on her shoulders as she nodded, making her look very cute. The young man sitting next to her was attracted by the strand of hair. He couldn't help but hook it with his little finger, and kept twisting it and playing with it.
She looked like a delicate young lady who was cared for in a bright greenhouse, raised in the sunshine and rain, rather than an orphan suffering from illness. She had grown ten thousand times better than he had imagined.
The sentimental words Liu Liang had been considering for a long time were blocked in his throat by the girl's brightness, and he could not utter them. The other party didn't seem to need his fatherly love.
"Please sit down." Lin Dan said calmly.
Gao Shukai looked at Liu Liang with a cold expression.
Liu Liang was so concerned about his daughter's safety that he did not notice Gao Shukai's overly familiar appearance. He calmed himself down and said, "Lin Dan, it's Dad who has let you down over the years..."
Lin Dan interrupted him directly: "Don't talk nonsense, did you bring my mother's relics?"
Looking at her particularly dull features, Liu Liang realized that his plan to comfort her with fatherly love or even to deceive and use her would definitely not work. There was only indifference in her eyes, without even a trace of yearning for family affection. He originally wanted to say that he had brought it, and then took out a few worthless silver ornaments that he had bought casually, but when he opened his mouth, he blurted out the truth: "Your mother didn't leave anything behind. I just found an excuse to ask you out."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned into horror. He then covered his mouth with his hands and glared at Lin Dan, "You cast a spell on me!"
"Who gave you the courage to come alone to an appointment with a sorcerer?" Lin Dan was not a fool. He naturally knew that if Liu Liang dared to come, he must have something to rely on. What's more, she wanted to find out how they had done this to her.
As expected, Liu Liang immediately replied: "You can't touch me. My father-in-law has taken away your fetal blood, fetal hair and placenta. If anything happens to me, he will definitely find someone to deal with you! If you know what's good for you, let Yunyun go, otherwise we will kill you!"
For sorcerers, fetal blood, hair and placenta are equivalent to their other body. Once taken away, even the lowest-powered mystic can find ways to reduce them to ashes. Therefore, when a baby is born, the elders of the sorcerer will immediately dispose of these three things to prevent them from being taken away by people with ulterior motives.
Lin Dan did not show any fear. Instead, she opened her backpack, took out a dozen small transparent bottles, and spoke slowly: "You can read, right? Do you know what these labels mean?" She turned the labels on the bottles to Liu Liang one by one.
Liu Liang stared at the bottles, his heart sinking. Each bottle contained a drop of blood, and each had familiar names labeled on the outside: his, his wife's, his father-in-law's, his brother-in-law's, and even the family's Filipino maids and dogs.
Lin Dan is a sorcerer, what can she do with this blood? Liu Liang thought of the tragic deaths of Ai Yu and the sorcerer, and his bones went cold.
