Chapter 773: 776, Two Choices (Second Update)

"Jin, rest assured, from now on, I will love them as my own children." Song Shiqin shifted his gaze to Chu Jin’s belly, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"My children have their own father, so you don’t need to bother, Song Shiqin. Can’t you stop doing this? Will you let my mother go?" Chu Jin’s tone softened a bit; she was also afraid of provoking Song Shiqin.

After all, Zhao Yan was still in his hands.

"Mo Zhixuan doesn’t deserve to be their father!" Song Shiqin’s face suddenly turned cold, but then it quickly returned to normal. He looked at Chu Jin with patience and said, "Jin, there’s no need to pretend any longer, I know everything. Don’t worry, I don’t mind the children in your womb, and I care even less about their constitution. Come back to my side, okay?"

"Love is a matter of mutual consent," Chu Jin calmly looked at Song Shiqin, "Mo Zhixuan is very good, so I will not leave him."

Why is Chu Jin still blindly devoted to Mo Zhixuan after all he has done to her?

"If he’s so good, why did he want to abort your children?" Song Shiqin instantly flew into a rage.

"You’re making things up," Chu Jin frowned slightly, "Mo Zhixuan isn’t that kind of person!"

"Jin," Song Shiqin took a deep breath and lowered his gaze to Chu Jin, his voice full of hope, "can you really not come back to me?"

"Really can’t," Chu Jin answered seriously.

Upon hearing this.

Song Shiqin felt a bitter taste in his heart; he had made such a big concession, why was Chu Jin still indifferent?

What exactly does she want?

A ruthless expression erupted from the depths of Song Shiqin’s eyes as he looked at Chu Jin coldly, his voice full of threat, "Then, do you not care if Zhao Yan lives or dies?"

"You wouldn’t dare!" Chu Jin narrowed her eyes slightly; a sharp cold light flashed in her clear eyes.

Song Shiqin chuckled and countered, "What do you think is there that I wouldn’t dare do?"

A sentence filled with chill that left no room for doubt.

Chu Jin clenched her fists, her face full of coldness.

Song Shiqin leaned forward, attempting to kiss her lips, but Chu Jin coldly turned her head away.

Song Shiqin smiled, pulled out a lock of hair from his pocket, and handed it to Chu Jin with an indifferent tone, "Jin, you’d better be obedient. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might do to Zhao Yan." The threat was clear.

With those words, Song Shiqin grabbed Chu Jin’s shoulders and leaned down again, but Chu Jin once more turned her head away.

His kiss fell on her cheek instead, as Song Shiqin’s face formed a slight curve. Then he let go of Chu Jin, followed by, "You can stay in the room we just came from during this time."

As soon as Song Shiqin turned to leave,

Chu Jin took a handkerchief from her pocket and furiously wiped the spot where Song Shiqin had kissed her, then threw the handkerchief away.

Although Chu Jin no longer possessed Spiritual Power, she could see that this villa had been surrounded by a barrier set up by Song Shiqin. People inside couldn’t leave, and those outside couldn’t enter—it was invisible and inescapable, like a three-dimensional space.

Not long after Song Shiqin left, a very young girl with a long braid approached, looking exceptionally pretty with her rosy lips and white teeth. Unfortunately, her feet had no shadow.

The young girl came up to Chu Jin and said sweetly, "Madam, my name is Momoko; from now on, I’m your personal maid. You can give me any orders in the future."

Chu Jin ignored her and headed downstairs. She had to find Zhao Yan at all costs.

Momoko followed closely behind Chu Jin.

"Can you stop following me?" Chu Jin turned around, visibly irritated.

Visibly alarmed, Momoko said, "I’m sorry, madam. Please don’t be angry; it’s the arrangement made by the master, and I can only comply."

Without responding, Chu Jin walked through the villa, guiding her steps by the Five Elements. Despite lacking special abilities, her instincts and professional knowledge as a fortune-teller remained.

But no matter where Chu Jin went, Momoko was always behind her.

She searched the entire villa twice over but couldn’t find any trace of Zhao Yan.

In the Mo family’s residence,

Mo Zhixuan saw the text message Chu Jin had sent only two hours later. Today’s meeting was particularly important, and it had dragged on longer than expected.

When he read the contents of the message, his expression tightened, and a chilling presence surrounded him. After giving Li Xunen a few brief instructions, he drove towards the address mentioned in Chu Jin’s text message.

Gripping the steering wheel with one hand and his phone with the other, he tried calling Chu Jin, but her phone had already been switched off.

Mo Zhixuan cursed under his breath, tossed the phone aside, and floored the accelerator, his car racing forward almost like a blur.

Soon, Mo Zhixuan arrived at the address from the text message, but all he found were a few large trees—no other structures in sight.

Song Shiqin was no simple man, and if he intended to hide someone, it was rare for anyone to find them. Chu Jin’s physique was no different from an ordinary person’s now, so Mo Zhixuan was very worried.

"Jin, Jin," Mo Zhixuan shouted in place.

Unfortunately, there was no response from the surroundings.

Mo Zhixuan gradually calmed down, took out a communicator from his space, and put it in his ear. While pressing the communicator with his hand, he said, "Give me an all-around positioning of Song Shiqin’s location."

After thinking for a moment, Mo Zhixuan then contacted Zi, and told her about the situation here.

Ten minutes later, Zi rushed over.

Seeing Mo Zhixuan’s anxious expression, Zi comforted him, "Mr. Mo, don’t worry, I was Jin’s system before. As long as I can confirm that Jin is nearby, I can communicate with him telepathically."

"Good, then try it now," Mo Zhixuan urged.

"Okay," Zi nodded and then slowly closed her eyes.

Meanwhile.

Chu Jin was walking in the villa’s garden. She had tried everything, but she still couldn’t leave the barrier. Moreover, the ghostly Momoko kept following her closely.

"Jin, Jin, can you hear my voice?" Just then, Chu Jin seemed to hear Zi’s voice in her ear.

Chu Jin stopped in her tracks, subconsciously surveying her surroundings, her gaze falling on Momoko’s face. Seeing her looking back at her with a usual expression, Chu Jin narrowed her eyes. Could it be that she was experiencing an auditory hallucination?

Just at that moment, Zi’s voice came again, "Jin, it’s Zi. If you hear me, please respond."

This time, she truly heard it. Chu Jin’s face brightened, and she turned to look at Momoko, who seemed not to hear Zi’s voice; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so calm.

"Zi, I’m here," Chu Jin responded with her thoughts.

"Great, Jin! I’ve finally got in touch with you!" Zi’s voice was extremely surprised. "Jin, where are you now? Mr. Mo and I are coming to find you."

Chu Jin gave an address.

Zi frowned slightly, "Jin, Mr. Mo and I are right at the address you mentioned, and there’s no villa in sight. Did you make a mistake?"

Chu Jin continued, "This place has been subjected to a barrier by Song Shiqin. I can’t get out now, and you can’t get in. But don’t worry, I’m already looking for an exit."

Outside.

Seeing Zi keeping her eyes shut and not speaking, Song Shiqin grew anxious and shook Zi’s shoulder, "How’s Zi Qi? Is there any news from Jin?"

Zi opened her eyes and looked up at Mo Zhixuan with joy, "There is! There is! Mr. Mo, I’ve made contact with Jin. She’s safe now, so no need to worry!"

Hearing this, Mo Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good." As his words fell, he asked again, "Where is Jin now? Has Song Shiqin bullied her?"

Zi continued, "According to Jin, she’s right at this spot where we’re standing. But, Song Shiqin has created a barrier here, so we can’t get in, and she can’t come out."

"A barrier?" Mo Zhixuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing in their depths. He subconsciously twisted the ferocious mutant beast ring on his index finger and said, "Zi Qi, keep in contact with Jin. Ask her to turn the wedding ring on her finger three times clockwise, then three times counterclockwise, and then follow the ring’s direction to walk out."

Since Chu Jin had previously been through such an ordeal, Mo Zhixuan was cautious when choosing wedding rings. The seemingly ordinary ring was actually connected to the one on his finger. Unfortunately, in their haste, they hadn’t set up a location tracker.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost track of her today.

"Okay," Zi nodded slightly and then closed her eyes again, communicating with Chu Jin.

Chu Jin, while communicating telepathically with Zi, sat on a stone bench in the garden, her expression indifferent. Unintentionally, her right hand covered the wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand, turning it rhythmically.

Simultaneously, the ring on Mo Zhixuan’s index finger emitted a violent red light.

Inside the barrier.

Standing on the rooftop, Song Shiqin looked down at Mo Zhixuan, a mocking curve lifting the corners of his mouth.

Mo Zhixuan should not expect to see Chu Jin in this lifetime!

All his efforts now were in vain! No one could break his barrier, not even Mo Zhixuan.

Once Chu Jin had the child, he would immediately hold a wedding ceremony with her.

Song Shiqin was so assured that Chu Jin couldn’t leave the barrier that he allowed her to walk around the villa with such peace of mind. As for Momoko, she was there not only to monitor but also to take care of Chu Jin.

Now that she was with child, it was imperative to have someone look after her.

After turning the ring, just as Zi had said, Chu Jin heard Mo Zhixuan’s voice in her mind: "Walk five steps to the east, then turn right and walk ten steps..."

However, Mo Zhixuan couldn’t communicate with her; he could only tell her how to leave the barrier.

Chu Jin quickly memorized all the steps, then she raised her gaze to Momoko and said in a flat tone, "I’m thirsty, go get me some water."

"Right away, madam," the moment Momoko turned around, Chu Jin took two steps forward and aimed a karate chop at the back of Momoko’s neck.

"Thump." With that, Momoko fell directly onto the ground. To prevent any accidents, Jin took out another Fixed Body amulet from his pocket and stuck it on Momoko’s body.

Then he followed the steps given by Mo Zhixuan and started to carry them out.

Five minutes later, Jin walked out of the barrier smoothly.

"Jin!" At the sight of her, Mo Zhixuan was ecstatic and hurriedly ran over to embrace her.

"I’m alright," Jin patted his back, "Mo Zhixuan, thank you."

Inside the barrier, seeing this scene, Song Shiqin was nearly on the verge of madness!

Why!

Why did Jin still manage to walk out!

Why is fate so unfair!

"Ah!" Enraged, Song Shiqin shouted, his face veins bulging out, his whole body emanating dense black energy, and everything around him shattered and fell to the ground.

"Go bring Zhao Yan to me!" Song Shiqin roared at his subordinates behind him!

"Yes." The subordinate bowed respectfully and then walked downstairs.

Although several hours had passed, to Zhao Yan, it felt as if only ten or so minutes had gone by, and she was wandering in the garden with Dai Yu.

As Dai Yu said, Song Shiqin kept quite a few small animals in the back garden.

There were dogs, foxes, cats, tigers...

But the more Zhao Yan looked, the more wrong it seemed because these animals closely resembled the ones that had appeared around Jin.

The big black dog was like Blackie.

The fox was like Little Grey.

The cat was like a little white one.

Only the tiger had never been seen by Zhao Yan before.

"Are all these raised by Song?" Zhao Yan looked up at Dai Yu and asked with a smile.

"Yes," Dai Yu nodded politely, "Song Chen is a very compassionate person."

Just then, a man dressed in black walked up to them, whispered something in Dai Yu’s ear, to which she nodded to show her understanding and turned to Zhao Yan, saying, "Auntie, it’s getting late, let me take you back now. Song Chen is waiting for us ahead."

"Sure," Zhao Yan put away her suspicions and nodded.

Perhaps, everything was just a coincidence.

Following Dai Yu to the living room, Song Shiqin was already standing there, not showing any signs of abnormality. He slowly walked up to Zhao Yan and began to speak gently, "Auntie, I’m sorry!"

Before Zhao Yan could react, her vision went dark, and she passed out.

Fortunately, Dai Yu reacted in time to catch Zhao Yan.

Dai Yu fed Zhao Yan a black pill, and soon after, Zhao Yan woke up again, but there was no trace of life in her eyes. She was like a puppet on strings, a lifeless shell.

Outside the barrier, Mo Zhixuan turned to look at Zi, "Zi Qi, you take Jin and leave first." He could take care of the rest.

"I can’t leave," Jin said, looking at Mo Zhixuan with firm conviction.

No matter what, she could not leave Mo Zhixuan to face danger alone. They were husband and wife and should face things together. Song Shiqin was targeting her, not Mo Zhixuan.

What if she left and Song Shiqin really did something to Zhao Yan? What then?

Mo Zhixuan seemed to see her worry and continued, "Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let our mom get hurt. Trust me!"

"No, I want to stay by your side," Jin said calmly.

She had seen it all before; such trifles didn’t concern her.

Mo Zhixuan’s tone grew slightly cold, "It’s dangerous here."

"I know," Jin looked up at Mo Zhixuan, "that’s why I need to be by your side." With that, she hugged Mo Zhixuan.

Left with no other choice, Mo Zhixuan had to compromise. He turned to Zi and said, "Protect Jin well later on."

"Mr. Mo, rest assured, I’ll take care of everything," Zi patted his chest.

"Hmm," Song Shiqin gave a slight nod.

His trust in Zi’s abilities was absolute.

As soon as these words fell, the originally calm barrier suddenly began to tremble violently, much like lightning, with cracks appearing across its surface.

The three of them immediately heightened their alertness, with Zi shielding Chu Jin behind her.

Mo Zhixuan stood there like a mountain, his cold gaze fixed on Song Shiqin as he stepped out from the barrier, "You’ve finally come out. Release my mother now."

"Let Jin come out to see me, or else I’ll kill Zhao Yan!" Song Shiqin’s gaze bypassed Mo Zhixuan and went straight to Zi.

Hearing this, Chu Jin stepped out from behind Zi, raising her eyes to look at Song Shiqin, "Calm down."

Song Shiqin was pressing a dagger tightly against Zhao Yan’s waist, and the look on her face made it clear she was under his control due to some drug.

"Come here," Song Shiqin stared straight at Chu Jin, the dagger still pressed firmly against Zhao Yan’s waist.

"Don’t go over, he’s already gone mad," Mo Zhixuan reached out to grab her wrist with an icy tone.

"Let her go!" Song Shiqin’s gaze intently fell on their clasped hands.

This scene was too glaring.

Not able to control his emotions, Song Shiqin applied force with his hand, and fresh blood began to flow from Zhao Yan’s waist as he roared, "Jinhuan! You come over here!"

Chu Jin’s eyelashes instantly frosted over, and her previously pitch-black pupils began to slowly redden... In an instant, her aura surged tremendously.

Pregnant women were originally devoid of Spiritual Power, but now, Song Shiqin had touched her bottom line.

"Jin, don’t upset the fetus," Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze to Chu Jin, "Trust me, I will definitely find a way to save our mother."

Chu Jin looked at him, staying silent.

Unless Song Shiqin released his hostage voluntarily, there was simply no way to wrest someone from his grasp.

In Ancient Times, there was a three-legged balance of power among Jinhuan, Xuanyuan Shangchen, and Xiao Junchi.

Now, once again, the three stand on opposing sides, as if history was repeating itself.

In an instant, intense murderous auras burst forth from between the three, chilling to the core.

Song Shiqin’s entire body radiated a dense black aura, "Jinhuan, you now have two choices, one, kill Mo Zhixuan. Two, I kill Zhao Yan."

Only with Mo Zhixuan’s death could Chu Jin truly belong to him.

This action would also perfectly test the extent of Mo Zhixuan’s place in Chu Jin’s heart.

If she could easily give up on Mo Zhixuan, then it would mean there was no real love between them.

Song Shiqin spoke earnestly, his words bearing no hint of jest.

"Impossible!" Chu Jin raised her eyes, the depths brimming with intense red light, her fists clenched as though she was on the verge of erupting at any moment.

Mo Zhixuan pressed down on her hand, eyes narrowing slightly as he searched for the right opportunity.

Song Shiqin laughed lightly, "It seems that faced with the choice between family and love, you have chosen the latter. Good, then I will grant your wishes." With those words, he flung Zhao Yan away with a raise of his hand, along with a dagger gleaming with a cold light.

Suddenly, the winds howled and clouds surged.

Zhao Yan’s body flew like a kite with its string cut, crashing harshly to the other side, while the dropped dagger plunged directly into her forehead.

And with that, her life was extinguished.

Mo Zhixuan flashed over to catch Zhao Yan, "Mother!"

"Song Shiqin!" The Empress’ spirit within Chu Jin erupted fully, as she pulled out a Longsword from the void and thrust it fiercely towards Song Shiqin’s chest.

Dai Yu stood to the side, her eyes wide with horror, her hand tightly covering her mouth.

All this happened too quickly.

Facing the incoming Longsword, Song Shiqin did not dodge, nor did fear appear in his eyes. Instead, a look of relief emerged, with a slight curve spreading across his lips.

In this moment, countless images flashed before Song Shiqin’s eyes.

A thousand years ago, on a battlefield ten leagues wide drenched in blood, a young girl in her late twenties, bold and resplendent, and later on, that spirited red-dressed woman made a resolute leap from the city tower...

Now, everything had come to a conclusion.

The past could finally settle.

Song Shiqin could clearly feel the sharp tip of the blade piercing his skin and driving straight into his heart, blood splattering everywhere. In that moment, all was still.

Just then, Chu Jin realized something was amiss and raised her eyes in surprise to Song Shiqin, "You..."
