Xu Jinhuan smiled innocently at Xu Youyou, "You've got the wrong person this time, it really isn't me."
Xie Guangbai stood beside Xu Youyou and said coldly, "It is I, Xu Youyou. Today I will make you pay for the lives of two hundred members of my Xie family!"
Xu Youyou looked at Xie Guangbai in disbelief. Then, as if she had thought of something, she immediately tugged at Xie Guangbai's sleeve pitifully, as if begging for his forgiveness.
When Xie Guangbai noticed Xu Youyou's little trick, he immediately pulled the hem of his dress from her hand and then neatly cut it off with a knife, clearly showing his disdain for her.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Xu Youyou was angered by Xie Guangbai's actions. She shouted angrily, but unfortunately, no one present knew what she was trying to say.
"Five, four, three, two, one, fall!" Xie Guangbai suddenly started counting down, and before Xu Youyou could even ask what was going on, she collapsed to the ground.
"Is the medicine starting to take effect?" Xu Jinhuan asked.
Xie Guangbai nodded and explained, "No one has tried this medicine before, so it seems there are still areas for improvement. Some of the effects are too fast, while others are a bit slow."
Xu Jinhuan didn't know much about this path, so she just nodded when she heard it. She focused half of her attention on Xu Youyou and kept an eye on the sky.
To be precise, they were waiting for the will of Heaven to intervene and see if it would intervene to save Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou, who had fainted on the ground, had her hands and feet slowly becoming red, swollen, and ulcerated.
Although she had fainted, she seemed to be experiencing something extremely terrible; her face was filled with fear and dread, and sweat and tears were flowing wildly as if they were free.
Xu Jinhuan and Xie Guangbai watched Xu Youyou silently.
Watching her body rot from her hands and feet all the way to her neck in half an hour, the rotting flesh turning into pus the moment it was peeled off the bones.
Now, only Xu Youyou's head is still intact; pus and blood have soaked the ground beneath her.
After being baked by the sun, that land emitted a strange, meaty aroma.
Just then, Xu Youyou finally woke up with a scream.
"Ahhh!"
When Xu Youyou opened her eyes, she saw the tree branches that had turned yellow from the sun, and tears welled up in her eyes. Had she survived?
But when she tried to raise her hand to shield her face from the sunlight, she saw that her hands were nothing but bones.
"Aaaaaah!" Xu Youyou screamed uncontrollably again.
Xie Guangbai walked forward with a sneer, "Go ahead and yell, in a little while, you won't even have any bones left."
Xu Youyou then realized the abnormality in her body. Her face was filled with fear and terror as she looked at Xie Guangbai pleadingly, "Ahhh!"
Xie Guangbai sneered, "You're scared now? Weren't the Xie family members scared before they were executed?"
My cousin was only five years old! He was so young, and because of Lei Tingjun's jealousy, my entire Xie family was wiped out!
After saying that, Xie Guangbai looked at Xu Youyou, whose bones had begun to dissolve, as if admiring a work of art, and said, "When you go to hell, remember to atone for the sins of my Xie family of two hundred people!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
Xu Youyou followed Xie Guangbai's gaze and naturally saw the foot bones that had melted into water.
She screamed in panic, but was powerless to stop it, and could only watch helplessly as her leg bones and hip bones rapidly melted upwards...
In the very end, amidst Xu Youyou's screams, she completely dissolved into a puddle of pus, enduring immense pain until the very end of her life.
"Hahahaha! Father, Mother, Grandfather, I have finally avenged you! You must be well down there, I will send all those enemies down there one by one!"
Xie Guangbai shouted loudly at the sky while tears streamed down his face.
Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan kept half of his attention focused on observing the Heavenly Dao.
They discovered that he hadn't actually made a move all along, only reluctantly letting out a muffled thunderclap after Xu Youyou's death, as if warning Xu Jinhuan.
How could Xu Jinhuan be frightened by such a petty trick? She raised a thumb to the sky, then slowly turned her hand around, giving the Heavenly Dao an upside-down thumb.
"Rubbish!"
After wiping away his tears, Xie Guangbai turned around and saw this scene. Although he was a little curious, he believed that his master had a reason for doing everything, so he did not ask.
As he looked at the puddle of pus on the ground that was gradually drying in the sun, his reason, which had been driven by hatred, slowly returned. He said to Xu Jinhuan with some concern.
"Master, is it really okay to kill Xu Youyou? I remember she said something before that if she died, no one else would survive either, and she would take everyone down with her."
Xu Jinhuan patted Xie Guangbai's shoulder with a smile, "It's nothing. That was just Xu Youyou trying to scare us. There was another reason why I didn't kill her before. Now that the eyesore can't do anything to me, I naturally have to deal with Xu Youyou first."
Besides, if Xu Youyou had such abilities, why would I have kept her locked up all this time? She would have escaped long ago.
Xie Guangbai nodded upon hearing this, his coldness from when he was facing Xu Youyou vanished, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"Master, I'll go prepare some more herbal tea. Li Yichang said we might be traveling tonight, so I need to prepare some drinks for the journey."
After saying that, Xie Guangbai was about to turn and leave, but Xu Jinhuan called him back.
"There's still plenty of herbal tea, enough for tomorrow's journey. You don't need to rush. What you need to do today is to vent your emotions and not suppress them too much."
Xie Guangbai replied with gratitude, "Yes, Master, Guangbai will adjust his emotions as soon as possible."
After exchanging a few more words with Xie Guangbai, Xu Jinhuan turned and walked towards the house.
Suddenly, she reached out her hand in confusion, as if to feel the warmth of the sunlight.
"Strange, why does it feel a bit colder?" Xu Jinhuan subconsciously opened the system to check the current temperature.
But in the next instant, they heard the system's familiar announcement.
[Ding ding, congratulations host for completing the hidden mission (1): kill the female lead, help the world recover the power stolen by the false Heavenly Dao, reduce the level of natural disasters, and allow nature to slowly repair itself.]
Reward: 1000 points, half of the protagonist's halo.
[Ding ding, congratulations host for breaking the rules, killing the manipulated female lead, triggering a super SSS-level mission, defeating the Heavenly Dao (pseudo), and saving the world. Reward: None]
Xu Jinhuan was slightly taken aback after hearing this. The protagonist's halo, which was previously out of reach, had suddenly been rewarded with half of its former glory.
Moreover, she already had three-eighths of the protagonist's halo before, which means she only needs one-eighth now?
Moreover, now that he has learned the true identity of this Heavenly Dao from the system, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but feel emotional.
Xu Youyou's death was truly worthwhile!
