"So, Wang Qing will encounter fatal danger? What's next in the story?" Yu Luo swallowed the "sesame ball" formed from black mist and narrowed his eyes.
This rich white peach soda flavor is really good, it's been a long time!
After absorbing all the power of the Goddess of Fertility, she clearly felt that her divine power had increased, but her divine level and faith value remained unchanged. It seemed that the path to upgrading was to develop more believers.
The system circled around Yu Luo once and continued, "After this demon-catching novel merged into the world, the demons they caught all turned into those evil spirits."
"Actually, Wang Qing is already in the storyline. She was seriously injured during the operation to capture the Goddess of Fertility."
"On her way back, Wang Qing was deceived by the male demon that her master knew. He cut off her tendons and bones and imprisoned her in a dark room, torturing her every day."
"Wang Qing was tormented like this for three years. She never understood why this evil spirit had chosen her. It wasn't until she heard the evil spirit's explanation that she understood everything."
"Because her constitution is very rare, she is the child of a demon and a human, yet she has not been tainted by any evil energy, and she has also maintained her complete sanity."
"From now on, whether she transforms into a demon or continues to cultivate the art of demon-catching, she will be extremely powerful. That guy wants her to fall into demonhood and then devour power."
"Just as the other party was about to succeed, Wang Qing took the opportunity to commit suicide and was then reborn."
"After being reborn, she sought revenge, even at the cost of breaking with her master, in order to hunt down that male demon. However, in the end, she discovered that she had targeted the wrong demon."
"That male demon was actually her father, and her master was her mother. The evil spirit that tormented her in her past life was just her father's enemy who took the form of a male demon."
"However, by this time, Wang Qing had already seriously injured her father. Although her mother didn't care, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and could only leave alone. In the future, her attitude towards demons and evil spirits would not be so arbitrary, and she would let some demons who had not done evil go..."
After listening, Yu Luo fell into deep thought.
No wonder the system said that with its intervention, Wang Qing might not need to be reborn.
Before her rebirth, she would suffer inhuman torment; after her rebirth, things might not be any better. So why not start turning things around now, since nothing has happened yet?
Yu Luo pondered for a while and then had an idea.
…
The county government office in Huangxian.
The county government office was bustling with activity today, with dozens of people kneeling in the main hall. Some looked dazed, some were indignant, and some were filled with despair.
"You deliberately sent your wife and daughter-in-law into your own home, where they were murdered. Do you know your crime?"
Xu Rurong slammed her gavel down and looked sharply at the group of people.
Some people, fearing the official's robes, kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Excellency, we dare not! We know nothing! It was all my wife's idea! Most of the fingers on both my hands have been bitten off! Arrest my wife instead, my son and I are innocent!"
"What do you mean, 'my idea'? Is this grandson only for me? Is he going to bring glory to my family in the future? If you don't put pressure on me, I'll send my daughter-in-law over there! Bah, my eldest grandson bit me well!"
Another elderly woman got angry.
The two elderly people quickly started fighting. The old lady was not injured and was quite strong, so she quickly pinned the old man down and slapped him.
Hearing the resounding slaps, everyone else who was being pressed down subconsciously swallowed hard. This old lady was just too formidable!
Some of the elderly men instinctively looked at their wives and quickly reassured them, "I didn't say it was your idea, please don't do it!"
Xu Rurong, sitting in front: "..."
"Your Excellency, shouldn't we send someone to break up the fight?" Chen, the county magistrate's assistant, reminded him.
This isn't a solution; it's disrupting the court proceedings!
Xu Rurong nodded, her expression serious: "You're right, we should definitely break up the fight. This is the county government office, how can we cause trouble here?"
"Luo Yong, go and help that old man up."
When Luo Yong went to pull the person away, the old woman took the opportunity to kick him a few more times.
His eyelids twitched, and he quickly sped up, afraid that the old man would be beaten to death.
Chen, the county magistrate, twitched his lips and looked at Xu Rurong with a complicated expression.
Was this magistrate doing this on purpose? Why break up a fight by pulling the person being beaten? Doesn't that just make things easier for the old lady?
However, looking at the magistrate's extremely serious face, he felt that he was wrong. It was very likely that this new magistrate had not dealt with this kind of thing much and did not understand the intricacies of the matter.
"Lock them all up and await their fate!" Xu Rurong slammed the gavel again, and in front of the villagers watching the commotion outside, ordered the constables to lock everyone up.
Outside the county government office, some people, not understanding what was being tried, curiously inquired.
"What case is our new magistrate hearing?"
"You don't know this, do you? I've heard that some families have even killed their daughters-in-law in their quest for a son."
"Why would you harm your daughter-in-law if you're begging for your son's blessing? Where would your grandson come from if you didn't have a daughter-in-law?" the man asked, puzzled.
"Shh, stop asking. There are a lot of things involved here, so let's not ask anymore."
"Anyway, this new magistrate is not bad. Do you think the magistrate could adjust the grain price in the barren county? The grain is so expensive now that we can't afford it."
"Who knows? He's already a good magistrate if he doesn't come to plunder us!"
