Chapter 38: Atonement



"W-what is it?"

He laughed dryly, his lips trembling slightly: "I...I won't bother you anymore, isn't it all in the past..."

"Yeah."

Su Yao said calmly: "Go down the mountain... maybe you will remember it."

The Soul Devouring Whip trembled violently, and Zhou Qilin's body swayed, approaching the last inch of space on the edge of the cliff. His face changed drastically, and he could no longer maintain his feigned composure. He desperately shouted, "No, no, no! I admit it! I'm telling you! It was me who did it. It was me who ordered Chen Tian to push you down the mountain. It was me!"

The forest was silent.

Only he was hanging upside down, his voice filled with panic and disarray: "At that time... I... It was because I liked you too much, Su Yao! I was such a bastard back then. After you rejected my marriage proposal, I was kicked out of the Su family with a broom. I felt completely humiliated... I was so mad... That's why I lost my mind and wanted to take revenge on you..."

"So, you really want me to die?" Su Yao asked, his tone frighteningly calm.

Zhou Qilin's voice trembled: "I didn't want you to die, I just wanted you to be crippled... I really regretted it later! After that day, I often dreamed of you falling off the mountain... I really couldn't sleep or eat, I..."

"That's enough."

Su Yao interrupted him: "If I wasn't so lucky, I would have been killed by you."

She turned away and stopped looking at him.

Not far away, Chen Tian's soul was floating, staring at Zhou Qilin, wishing he could kick him down.

Zhou Qilin was already begging desperately: "Su Yao, can you... forgive me? I know I've let you down, but I really, really like you... Even now I haven't let you go..."

Fu Bao stood aside, a look of disdain on his face: "Zhou Qilin, I never thought that people could be so shameless. If they can't have it, they will destroy it, and they keep saying that they like it? Ugh!!"

"You still want me to forgive you, you are such a despicable person!"

Zhou Qilin's face flushed: "I'm sincere, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me..."

Especially after returning from Fengyin Mountain, his mind was full of Su Yao's famous scenes... He was completely fascinated by them.

If such a strong woman is married into the Zhou family and becomes the granddaughter-in-law, it will bring honor to the family and the grandfather will also look at him with admiration!

Even Director Su was trying to please Su Yao, which once again proved that his original vision was correct!

"I'm not laughing at you, I just want to beat you up." Fu Bao narrowed his eyes: "If you have a brain twitch again, I'll use the Soul Sealing Hammer to wake you up."

Su Yao raised his hand slightly, and the Soul-Devouring Whip suddenly loosened.

Zhou Qilin screamed "Ah--!" and thought he was going to be thrown down. His body was instantly suspended in the air. He frantically grabbed a vine on the edge of the cliff and held on tightly.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Su, Su Yao...when will the cycle of revenge end...let's not kill each other, okay?!"

"Have you forgotten? I once protected you in the Taoist temple on Fengyin Mountain!"

Fu Bao's eyes were filled with disdain: "You? You're not even worthy of being my doorman!"

Zhou Qilin yelled at the top of his lungs, "Su Yao! You can't kill me! Killing someone means paying with your life... Do you want to break the law knowingly?!"

"Ha, I'm giving you face. If I really wanted to kill you, would you still have a chance to say a word?" Fubao laughed at him like an idiot.

"Zhou Qilin, I'll give you three choices."

As if he had been granted amnesty, he said excitedly, "Tell me! What's the choice?!"

Su Yao said indifferently: "One, roll down the mountain by yourself, like me, and be in a coma for three months, and become a living dead."

"Second, kowtow to me three times and nine times, and then slap yourself 999 times."

"Third, help 10 people solve their current problems. Success is the only option, failure is not. The prerequisite is that you do not harm anyone."

There were three ways to atone his sins. Zhou Qilin said without hesitation, "I choose three!! The third one... can you let me go first? I can't hold on any longer..."

She didn't move, but the Soul-Devouring Whip had already rolled him back to the edge of the cliff.

Zhou Qilin was breathing heavily, with sweat on his forehead, and his handsome face looked very embarrassed.

Fu Bao said coldly, "Zhou Qilin, don't think about taking shortcuts. Helping others with their immediate difficulties is not as simple as helping a blind person cross the street. As a member of the 79th Bureau, do what you should do."

"I understand..." Zhou Qilin nodded. He just wanted to continue volunteering besides work.

He couldn't bear to be a living dead. What if he couldn't wake up? He would be dead.

The second type is, how could a tall and strong man kneel down in front of a woman, especially the woman he likes!

"Zhou Qilin, I'll give you three months to complete the task. As long as you pass, all our grudges will be written off."

Seeing that Su Yao gave a time limit, he had no choice: "Okay."

The next second, Zhou Qilin started to attack himself... You didn't want to kill me, and you still say you have no feelings for me? Humph, Su Yao, I think you have fallen in love with me... and you don't even know it!

Woman, I will get you sooner or later.

At this moment, Su Yao looked at Chen Tian and said softly: "You are completely free."

Although Chen Tian had promised to be her ghost servant before, mentally, he had not yet completely gotten rid of the persecution Zhou Qilin had inflicted on him.

That's why he wanted to take revenge on Zhou Qilin.

"Ms. Su, thank you for saving me again." Chen Tian knelt down and said.

This time, he truly understood that with his current magical powers, he could not kill Zhou Qilin.

If Su Yao hadn't arrived in time, he would have continued to suffer... and might even have died.

As one of the victims in the past, Su Yao was able to put aside personal grudges and use education to make Zhou Qilin atone for his sins, which was far more meaningful than killing him directly.

It's even more tormenting.

Simply killing in revenge is just revenge and cannot change what happened in the past.
