After they left, Nian Niang returned, and at the same time, the old man entered the room, walked through Nian Niang, and went to the bedside.
Nian Niang coldly watched the old man, recalling how he had tricked her into the deep forest. She clenched her fists.
The old man looked down at Nian, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and softly asked, "Nian, are you alright?" He then bent down to look at Nian's face, suddenly sensing something was wrong. He tremblingly reached out to check Nian's breath and exclaimed in shock, "No way, she's dead."
Nian Niang snorted and stepped forward, pointing two fingers at the old man's back. The old man leaned forward and frowned.
"Butler."
Hearing this, the old man stiffened, straightened up, and slowly turned his head to look at Nian Niang. He tremblingly called out, "Madam."
"What are you doing here?" Nian Niang asked, her gaze cold.
"I... I just came to see the child, she..." The old man slowly moved a few steps away. "It wasn't me, it wasn't me."
"Whether it was you or not, you're involved," Nian Niang said, raising her hand.
The old man's eyes widened. "It truly has nothing to do with me, Madam."
"If it weren't for your cold-blooded treatment, my daughter would never have died. It's all because of you," Nian Niang said, waving her hand towards the old man.
"No..."
Before the old man could finish his words, the sinister light pierced through his body. As his eyes widened in surprise, he knelt on the ground.
The next second, as Nian Niang lowered her hand, Nian's voice came from the door: "Mother, the butler is a good person, why did you do this?" She ran forward.
"You saw it," Nian Niang asked, her voice surprisingly indifferent.
"Mother, I know you did it for me, I... but," Nian began to cry, "how could you kill someone, Mother? Please stop." She stopped in front of her mother.
Nian Niang looked down at Nian. "It's come to this, I can't stop now." She then turned to the woman holding a torch who appeared at the door and commanded, "Do it."
"Yes," the woman nodded and turned away.
Nian looked at the woman's departing back in surprise. "Madam."
"Nian."
Hearing this, Nian looked back at her mother. "Mother, please stop."
"Let's go," Nian Niang suddenly said.
"Mother..."
Unexpectedly, before Nian could utter a word, a black light shot in, and Nian Niang said, "Please take her away, so my sins won't fall upon her."
"Mother," Nian cried.
"I understand," the black light responded and suddenly lunged towards Nian's soul.
Following that, before Nian could even speak, she was taken away.
Nian Niang stood in place, glanced at the old man's soul in the corner, and left without a word.
At the back door, Mu An Xiao put down the gecko, then stood up and looked at the gradually burning mansion. "I thought it was night, but it's actually daytime."
"Let's go," Piao said.
Mu An Xiao nodded, then looked down and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I'm truly useless trash," she cried.
Piao reached out and patted Mu An Xiao's shoulder. "Alright, let's go." As he said this, Yan and Queen Rabbit simultaneously grabbed Mu An Xiao's arms.
Future Cultivation Sect... xxs one
Feng Qi Shi had already woken up.
"The sky outside is becoming more and more oppressive," said the red-clothed rabbit spirit, glancing out the window.
Feng Qi Shi yawned and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"But..."
"What 'but'? If you're scared, I'll go," Feng Qi Shi said, standing up.
"Then you go," the red-clothed rabbit spirit said in a low voice.
Feng Qi Shi gave the red-clothed rabbit spirit a helpless look, walked around the table to the door, opened it, and left the room without hesitation.
Outside the deep forest, the old gentleman looked up at the black mist gathering within and then at the dog-faced demon's nervous expression. "It seems it's still not working?"
"What do you mean?" the dog-faced demon asked, unable to see outside.
The old gentleman said, "It's nothing." He thought to himself, "It seems I'll have to use that thing." With that, he sighed deeply.
At the same time, Feng Qi Shi had reached the back door. Teng Tiao Jing saw Feng Qi Shi, stepped forward to block the door, and then smiled at him. "Feng, how is it?"
Hearing this, Feng Qi Shi glanced at Teng Tiao Jing. "You were the one who sent that woman to find Mu An Xiao, weren't you?"
"No... I..."
"It was you," Feng Qi Shi said, pointing a finger at Teng Tiao Jing.
Teng Tiao Jing averted his gaze. "So what if it was me? The person cooperating with me is you, not her."
"Teng Tiao Jing, you are truly shameless," Feng Qi Shi glared at him.
Teng Tiao Jing lowered his head.
Feng Qi Shi looked at Teng Tiao Jing's suddenly silent expression and asked, "Don't you think it's strange?"
Hearing this, Teng Tiao Jing calmly looked up at the sky. "Oh, maybe it's just getting dark early."
"You know, don't you," Feng Qi Shi said.
Upon hearing this, Teng Tiao Jing frowned and looked at Feng Qi Shi. "Have you resolved the matter with the rabbit spirit yet?"
"What I said to you and what you said to me," Feng Qi Shi said angrily, waving his hand. "Move aside."
"That's the rat's business, why are you going?" Teng Tiao Jing, knowing the situation outside, asked.
"You're afraid that if I die, no one will help you," Feng Qi Shi exposed Teng Tiao Jing's thoughts.
Teng Tiao Jing smiled. "As expected of Shen Yan's descendant, you're so smart."
"No need for flattery, move aside," Feng Qi Shi said.
"What about the rabbit?" Teng Tiao Jing asked again.
"I have some very unfortunate news for you. The rabbit spirit here might be undergoing a change. Your scheme might have failed," Feng Qi Shi said directly.
Upon hearing this, Teng Tiao Jing's eyes widened. "You're playing me."
"Yes, just like you played Mu An Xiao," Feng Qi Shi said coldly.
Hearing this, Teng Tiao Jing became enraged and raised his hand, unleashing a wave of demonic energy towards Feng Qi Shi.
Feng Qi Shi hurriedly dodged. "Alright, come on!" he said, stepping forward and engaging Teng Tiao Jing in a fight.
A few minutes later, Feng Qi Shi swiftly dodged several blasts of demonic energy from Teng Tiao Jing, then took half a step back, covering his chest, and feigned nonchalance. "This black mist will weaken your demonic arts, Teng Tiao Jing. You can't defeat me."
Teng Tiao Jing panted, holding up his hand. "Feng Qi Shi, I didn't expect you to know Shen Yan's moves."
"I don't recall my past self knowing you," Feng Qi Shi said deliberately.
Teng Tiao Jing's lips curled. "You don't know me, but it's enough that I know you." With that, he rushed towards Feng Qi Shi.
