Chapter 103 The Master of the House

“Yes.”

Chanyuan answered without even the slightest hesitation, his voice surprisingly solemn.

But after answering, he returned to his decadent look and sneered, "Why are you here? If you want to cheat money, be prepared to leave your head behind."

During this time he was looking for various solutions, and of course some people got wind of the situation and came up with all sorts of weird solutions.

Of course, none of these methods worked, and those people are now gone from this world.

The man half squatted down. He was not afraid of the temple at all. Instead, he had a disgusting smile on his face.

"I have a solution, but the price of this solution is a bit high. Are you willing to trade with me?"

The man's words made Chanyuan Shen'er's mind clear up a little. He looked him up and down carefully. This man looked ordinary in every way.

But the aura he exuded was not something that ordinary people could possess, and it was uncomfortable. The first time he looked at the other person seriously, he felt deeply uncomfortable.

His instinct told him to stay away from this person; he looked like a big trouble.

In the past, Zen might even have followed his instincts, but now, he sat up slowly and looked at the man.

"Tell me, how do you want to trade?"

Zen Temple said in a deep voice, his pair of dark green eyes were filled with star-like lights like lit cigarettes, so weak that they would go out if they fell to the ground.

He has reached the end of his rope.

So now, no matter whether it is treasure or a trap in front of him, he will step in and give it a try.

The worst possible outcome is death. He no longer has the energy to go on, so dying like this would be pretty good.

The man was obviously very satisfied with his condition and slowly told his solution.

"Zenin Hui has the physique of ten kinds of shadow magic. As long as he awakens the magic in advance, when the magic power surges, he will curse your wife, and she will be able to live forever."

Just a few words made the man in front of him like an enraged beast. Before he could see clearly, the other party had already grabbed the man's neck and exerted force with his hands.

His eyes were half covered by his black hair, and there was a cold anger burning in them. He had no expression on his face, and looked at the man as if he were a dead person.

"Let's not talk about how you know Hui first. You also have ten kinds of shadow spells. You really dare to think of it." He spoke slowly, and the strength of his hands increased a little bit. It seemed that one could hear the slight sound of bones shaking.

His expression was grim, and as he saw the man wanted to say something, he strangled him cleanly and efficiently.

Looking at the man's face turning purple, the temple threw the body away as if it were garbage.

Tsk, was Hui's existence leaked? Could it be that old man from the Zenin family who did it? Great, it seems he was too lenient last time.

Chanyuan didn't even care that he reeked of alcohol as he stood up and prepared to go find trouble, but his sharp hearing made him stop and he turned around slowly.

The person behind was still lying on the ground, but his heartbeat should have stopped just now, so why did it start beating again now?

Zen Temple didn't even leave. He just vomited out the ugly treasure hidden in his stomach, pulled out his usual weapon, and quietly watched the people who stood up little by little.

It's so annoying, he thought. It's so annoying. He encounters all kinds of monsters and demons, but he is too lazy to find out what they are.

If you can’t kill him after one kill, then kill him twice, three times, countless times, until he can no longer get up.

However, the man just straightened his head and said in a distressed tone: "Well, doesn't this mean I have to change my body again?"

He looked at Zenin who was full of murderous intent and said with a smile: "I am not lying to you. You can see the existence of the magic power, so why not let me try it."

The man took a step forward and said in a tempting voice, "What's wrong with the monastery? Are you really not going to try to keep her? As long as she survives, it won't be difficult to break the curse in the end. I'm just giving you another choice.

You know, she wants to survive.”

Zenin Jiner knew that he should immediately kill the person who was misleading him with words, chop him into pieces, and stop the news about Hui from spreading.

But the other party's last words were like a vine that grew little by little into his heart, took root and sprouted, and could no longer be controlled.

Of course he knew that Eri wanted to survive.

On the countless nights when he secretly went to see Eri, he saw the person he loved most crying and listened to her whispering about her unwillingness and pain.

She said she was in so much pain, and wondered why she hadn’t died yet. She also said she didn’t want to die, didn’t want to leave. She couldn’t bear to leave her husband and children, her home, and the sunflowers she had bought and planted but hadn’t yet bloomed…

Then, the next morning, she would smile at Hui who came to see her and say that she was fighting the disease hard and would eventually win.

Eri is a strong, ordinary person, but she is just an ordinary person and she is afraid of death.

Every time I saw the Zen temple, or even saw her pain and hesitation, I would just leave quietly, bringing Hui there less often and coming there less often myself.

It hurts my heart.

It turns out that these four words can be experienced so deeply.

Eri wants to live, and he also wants Eri to live, and Kei must think the same way.

...Let me try it one more time, just one last time.

Zenin knew that the method the other party was talking about was feasible in theory, but he also understood that the only one who would suffer would be Hui.

Megumi is a blessing from God to me, but if Eri dies, my world will fall.

It's all his fault, he's a scumbag, so let him try again.

The Zen temple even agreed. He asked the man and Kong Shiyu to set up a bond to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation.

After seeing that the restrictions were in place, I brought my people to the hospital in a hurry. Today is the last day, the last day given by the hospital.

He stood stiffly at the door, looking at Eri who was staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and called very softly: "Shin'er... I, I don't want to die."

After hearing this, his whole body seemed to be shattered, and then firmly stuck together. All his emotions disappeared, and he just found Zenin Kei as quickly as possible.

He held Hui's hand and begged, "Hui, save Eri."

Zenin Hui couldn't speak very well yet, he just gently covered his father's eyes. He felt like it was raining in there.

He didn't want to make his father sad, so he nodded seriously.

——————————

Zenyuan even personally pushed his wife into a non-human existence and threw his children into endless pain.

He should understand that there is no such thing as free food in this world, and that person who is full of doubts cannot be trusted.

Oh, that person’s name is Zuosuo, an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. His ideal is to assimilate the entire world.

This short sentence was the result of the Zen temple's cooperation with the other party for several years, and even went to Tianyuan to come up with it.

In fact, Zen Temple doesn't really care whether the other party wants to destroy the world or not. Just like what Zhisuo asked him at the beginning, he doesn't care about this world at all.

If necessary, he might even give a helping hand, as long as it doesn't involve his family.

The longer he stayed in the position of the head of the family, the busier he became, because he wanted Hui to stop suffering.

Humans are such complex and disgusting creatures. After leaving his wife behind, he wanted his children to no longer suffer and wanted his family to live happily.

This is a small but difficult wish.

Eri also has her own mind. She chose to stay with the Zen temple father and son, but she felt sorry for her own children.

Zen Temple is just like her. This is the price to pay for forcibly keeping the dead. They are destined to be roasted by fire, enjoying the sweetness of happiness and then tasting the bitterness deep in their hearts.

But what can he do? Just as he couldn't find a way to cure Eri, he couldn't save his child now.

Even with a noose, he couldn't give an answer.

When he first discovered the sequelae in the Zen temple, he completely turned against me, but I turned out to be a cunning collaborator.

It was the Zen temple that agreed, it was he who did it, and the noose only provided the method, how could he blame them?

Therefore, Zenin Jiner maintained a lukewarm relationship with him afterwards, occasionally conducting a few commissioned transactions, or helping the other party to plant a few nails in the world of magic.

He didn't care what this garbage dump became; as long as he was there, Zenin Hui could live in a pure land.

Until he found Rokugan, the [strongest] that is born only once every five hundred years, and became his helper.

Rokugan gets along very well with Hui, and tells him bluntly that Hui won't live long.

These were straightforward words, like tearing off the thin paper that had been covering his eyes, forcing Zen Temple to make a choice again.

It turns out that he hasn't changed over the years.

When he was young, he had great strength, but he chose to leave directly under pressure. When he grew up, he made the most wrong choice between his wife and children. Now, even after being the head of the family for so many years, he doesn't even want to see the facts in front of him.

The monastery even left the whole person hanging in the middle, unable to completely escape the pain and gain relief, and unable to truly make a choice.

He is neither a qualified husband nor a qualified father.

But he knew that time would not wait for him when it came to making a choice.

Even though he knew what to do, the monastery seemed to be waiting for something.

Until one ordinary day, after dealing with those annoying senior executives, he went home to talk to Eri.

The red rope is a special cursed tool of the Zenin family that allows Eri to live on it and stay with Shinji at any time.

The sunshine is very comfortable. Eri likes to go to the park with her family to sunbathe whenever she has time, so in weather like this, he will let Eri stay out a little longer.

Eri seemed to be particularly sober today. She pulled Shin'er and laughed happily, talking about what had happened in unskilled words.

Zenin even gently held its hand, as if Eri was whispering to him before she died: "Eri, we both have to make a choice."

Eri was silent for a long time, until the sun was about to set, and she hugged Zenin again. The cursed spirit made up of negative emotions seemed to have returned to its gentle appearance in life.

She told Chanyuan Shier in her most familiar tone: "Let's go together, Shier."

The nature of the cursed spirit prevents her from letting go of her family, and her motherly instinct makes her protect her children even at the cost of her own life.

She knew that he could not survive, so she made the choice for him kindly and gently.

Let's go together, my Shen'er.
