Chapter 241 Sacrificed
Hearing Mai Dong talking about King Arthur, Mai's mother looked at her with a complicated expression. She asked in confusion: "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing. King Arthur has taken good care of you over the years. Do we need to express our gratitude?" Mother Mai said with a grateful look on her face.
"No, he started taking care of me after the real and fake Jin was exposed. He knew my true identity. He used to take care of Erica. Not long after, I discovered energy plants on the Blue Water Star. The care he gave me was like an equal exchange. I created benefits for him and he gave me the information I needed. There was nothing else." Mai Dong said.
In fact, what King Arthur gave her was far beyond the value she created. But Mai Dong could only play dumb and dare not show it. If she told King Arthur about these things, it would probably reveal that she already knew that King Arthur was once Li Ruiyou.
Hearing Mai Dong say this, Mai's mother showed a look of relief on her face: "For a high-ranking person like King Arthur, unless you are valuable, his care is just to provide some convenience and material resources in life."
Mai Dong felt that what his mother said was right. Before she returned, King Arthur and Adjutant Chen's care for little Lucy was really superficial.
It was not until she returned that the energy plant was discovered on the Blue Water Star. Adjutant Chen contacted her in person and King Arthur gave her the information she needed.
Seeing that her daughter agreed with her, Mai's mother's eyes sparkled, and then she brought the topic back to the Wu family: "At least Wu Youqi in the Wu family knows your father's identity, so he helped us like this."
"After you disappeared, Zhao Fanny asked the Zhao family to secretly suppress the Zhuang family, trying to force the Zhuang family to death. Fortunately, Wu Youqi stepped in and made the people of the Pharmacy Guild dare not accept Zhao Fanny's bribery and prevent Uncle Zhuang from refining medicine for the Pharmacy Guild. Otherwise..." Mai Dong said.
If Uncle Zhuang did not have the income from the Pharmacy Union, even if the whole family did not starve to death, they would not have been able to raise Zhuang Huiya.
Mai Dong's words provoked the anger of Mai's father and mother. The reason why their family suffered the pain of separation between life and death was because of Zhao Fanny and the Zhao family. They would definitely avenge this.
Mai Dong saw that his parents were furious and full of hatred in their eyes. They planned to go to Xi's house tomorrow to find Zhao Fanni and have a big fight. They would first list all the things she had done, peel off her skin to let people see her ugliness, and then plan the next revenge.
"Mom and Dad, listen to me first. Zhao Fanny has been sentenced to prison." Mai Dong interrupted the two elders hurriedly, fearing that they would act immediately on impulse.
Hearing that Zhao Fanni had been imprisoned, Mr. and Mrs. Mai finally calmed down and looked at Mai Dong, waiting for her to continue.
Mai Dong hurriedly told Mai's father and mother that Zhao Fanny was taken away by King Arthur's men for committing evil, and then was tried and had to sit in prison for hundreds of years.
Although people in this world do not have the death penalty, criminals who have been sentenced to prison for hundreds of years are also equivalent to death row prisoners. Such criminals will be imprisoned with their cultivation destroyed. Without freedom and cultivation, they generally cannot live for more than a few decades.
So although Zhao Fanni did not die, she had no cultivation, and her chance of surviving the next apocalypse was slim. Even if she could survive, she would not have achieved much, and it was easy to seek revenge in a chaotic world.
When the Mai couple heard that Zhao Fanny had met with this fate, even though it was not their revenge, they still felt relieved in the end.
Mai Dong continued to say that she used the information provided by King Arthur to expose all the dirty things Zhao Fanny had done in Xi's house, and asked Nigri to pay the banker 500 million credits as compensation.
Hearing that Nigri was pulled down from the position of patriarch, Zhao Fanni and his brother were tried, the Zhuang family, who had received 500 million in compensation and was no longer oppressed, suffered a lot. Under the guidance of their daughter, Uncle Zhuang took the two elders of the Zhuang family to Shuilan Star to avoid the disaster, and Mother Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of her, her parents and brother have had a very unhappy life over the past decade. Fortunately, after her daughter came back, although she had not integrated all her memories and did not know that she was originally Lucy, she was still willing to take care of the Zhuang family, and Mother Mai felt less guilty.
Although I regret not being able to see my parents in person, I will be able to see them through correspondence later. What is most important is that my parents can survive this apocalyptic crisis.
After the three of them had told almost all of their experiences, it was almost dawn, and Father and Mother Mai hurried to rest.
Mai Dong thought that her parents might want to be alone for a while after they reunited after experiencing life and death separation, so she simply got up and went to her room.
The Mai couple naturally had no time to rest. After they expressed their pain of separation and their true feelings, they happily talked about their children.
Their family experienced a time travel and rebirth, although they suffered a lot. However, after this process, not only did their daughter and son become high-level monks, but their cultivation was also enough for them to cope with the crisis of the end of the world.
"I didn't expect King Arthur to be so grateful. Although I discovered the energy plant, King Arthur is the star lord of the Blue Water Star. If he hadn't been generous enough, I wouldn't have so many energy potions. These energy potions not only allow her cultivation to grow rapidly, but also allow Xuan and Yahui's cultivation to grow rapidly." Father Mai sighed.
He thought that this was a rare opportunity for him to help others, but it ended up causing a series of troubles and causing his wife to leave him. He felt very regretful.
Now not only is his wife healed, his daughter is back and he has a son, but because of this experience they all have the ability to cope with the crisis of the end of the world, he feels it is still worth it.
Hearing the husband gloating over his good deeds in saving people, King Arthur thought he was grateful. Mother McNally looked at him like a fool, and he belatedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say wrong?"
"In the novel I read, the hero is King Arthur and the heroine is Mai Dong." Mai's mother said lightly.
"What? Are you saying that kid is targeting our daughter?" Father Mai asked sensitively.
"Don't you know your daughter? She must have lied and concealed some things. But the things she said, revealing the inside information to Dong, helping Dong deal with the threat of Zhao Fanny and the Zhao family, and introducing her to the most suitable master, have gone beyond the scope of what King Arthur should do." Mother Mai said.
King Arthur has a good image in the novel and in reality, but his status is too high, which Mai Mu thinks is not good.
"No, at the end of the novel, King Arthur died." Father Mai said anxiously.
