Chapter 198: Chapter 195: He was born three years ago, guarding her for three years

"Woo woo!"

The Evil Exorcism Charm landed on the Goat-headed and human-bodied child, igniting a burst of pure flames.

He seemed unable to speak, only able to whimper in pain, flailing to pat out the fire on his body.

Shangguan Qiu slashed over with a sword, but the little goat rolled on the ground and dodged the attack.

"Meh woo woo."

The little goat lay weakly on the ground, staring intently in the direction of Sister-in-law Cui Fang.

He extended his little arms toward her, struggling to crawl in her direction.

"No! Don’t come over! Just kill him already!"

The little goat crawled closer, merely wanting to get a bit closer to her.

But Sister-in-law Cui Fang, gripped by fear, grabbed the firewood by the door and struck down on the little goat’s head.

"Why do you want me to stop?"

Shangguan Qiu, seeing the little goat’s lack of aggression, asked Chu Yan, puzzled.

"It seems like he doesn’t want to harm anyone."

Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s blow made Chu Yan’s brow twitch.

He had a bad feeling in his heart and wanted to stop her, but when people are extremely scared, they become incredibly strong and lose their reason.

Sister-in-law Cui Fang was in such a state, swinging the wooden stick in her hands frantically, hitting the little goat hard without noticing that he didn’t fight back at all.

Bang, bang, bang.

Each blow was like a strike on Chu Yan’s heart.

"Stop hitting him!"

Chu Yan spoke in a cold voice, stepping forward to stop her.

"Hahaha! Serves you right!"

A weird and wild woman’s laughter abruptly came from the distance.

"Do you see? This is the person you want to protect! Even though you are flesh from her belly, she wishes to kill you because you’re a monster!"

A cloud of blood fog flew over from the night sky, bringing with it a sinister and deadly aura.

Si Xuekai and Xing Changqing, touched by this terrifying presence, fainted in an instant.

Sister-in-law Cui Fang was also staggering, as the blood fog cast a spell on her.

"Do you remember? This is the thing you gave birth to three years ago."

"That’s impossible! I gave birth to a stillbirth! I couldn’t have birthed such a monster."

Sister-in-law Cui Fang, upon seeing the little goat covered in blood on the ground, quickly contested.

Her eyes were filled with terror and disgust, preferring death to admitting that she had birthed such a thing.

Having given birth to a stillborn had made her the laughingstock of the town, and her husband had left her. If word got out that she had birthed a monster, how could she continue living here?

The little goat was on his last breath.

Even though she had hit him so harshly just now, he still extended his hand to her, all the way to now.

How much he wished that this person who gave birth to him could give him a pull.

It was only as he lifted his eyes to the disgust in his mother’s eyes that he understood he really shouldn’t exist in this world. The bloodied arm that had been raised fell limp.

He had been born for three years and had protected her for three years.

But now, he can’t protect her anymore, nor does he want to.

I’m sorry.

He said this in his heart.

Not knowing to whom he was apologizing.

Maybe to his mother who detested him, or maybe to himself.

"You, you don’t deserve to have children! You don’t deserve to live in this world either!"

Hearing the death of the little goat, the voice of the blood fog instantly turned piercing, and as the fog dissipated, it revealed the charming face of the innkeeper, but her crimson eyes were full of hatred.

She flew down from the sky, her sharp claws aiming for Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s throat.

"If it weren’t for his protection over the past three years, I would have killed you long ago! Letting your soul scatter isn’t enough to offset the hatred in my heart, I want you to go to hell and be tormented forever!"

"Stop!" Shangguan Qiu was startled by her aura and hurriedly intervened.

The innkeeper snorted coldly, "Seeking death."

She waved her hand casually, and Shangguan Qiu was sent flying.

"I’ve endured for hundreds of years just for this moment; no one can stop me!"

Meanwhile, Qin Zhao was trapped in an illusion.

The townspeople had just screamed about a ghost eating people, and when she went to deal with it, she encountered the man in the long robe. He was just aimlessly floating on the street, causing great panic.

As soon as Qin Zhao saw him, the environment around her changed instantly, dragging her into another space. She knew then that she had been tricked and that he had intentionally lured her there.

"Miss, are you a Heavenly Master?"

The man approached her, conjuring up tables, chairs, and tea utensils with a wave of his hand.

"How about a cup of tea?"

"I’m not interested," Qin Zhao said coldly. "What’s the purpose of bringing me here?"

"I just want to tell you a story. As a Heavenly Master that catches ghosts, you need to understand the cause and effect, right? The karmic ties of this world are not so easily meddled with. If you intervene rashly, it could affect your cultivation."

The man was no longer an ordinary ghost; he could be considered half a Ghost Cultivator, having entered the path with his soul.

"Alright, I want to see what kind of cause and effect this is."

Qin Zhao sat down at the table but did not drink the tea he offered.

Who knows if it was made with some messed-up stuff?

The man didn’t mind and started to slowly recount the tale.

During the Republic, that big mansion was such a special place in this town; the family owned many horses and servants, selling goods from the town to the outside world and making a fair amount of money.

Most of the townspeople worked for them and discussed the family’s affairs in their spare time.

One year was particularly notable when numerous incidents erupted in the family’s backyard.

The kind and charitable lady of the house gave birth to a stillborn that looked like a skinned civet cat, and the master fainted from shock when he saw it; others claimed the lady was a demon.

At the same time, the master’s recently introduced concubine also gave birth to a child.

That child was healthy, and moreover, a boy.

There were many rumors outside, but the master didn’t believe them at first; he even suspected that someone had swapped the baby and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

Until one day, the lady suddenly burst into the concubine’s room and strangled the newborn boy to death.

It was said that many servants witnessed the incident.

Not only that, someone even accused the lady of having an affair with the accountant, with irrefutable evidence.

It was then that the master truly believed his wife was a demon; his previously kind-hearted wife would never strangle his child nor have an affair!

In a rage, the master summoned many servants and had the lady and the accountant beaten to death. They were the people he trusted the most! And the boy she had killed was his only son!

An unforgivable sin! He wanted them to pay with their lives!

After the lady’s death, the concubine continued to grieve. To make amends, the master made her the new lady of the house, and they later had another child.

"What demons are you talking about?"

The man in the long robe bitter-smiled, "She swapped the babies and had someone put a Curse Technique on the lady, making her strangle her own son in front of everyone. As for the evidence of the affair, it was naturally her doing as well."

Although he didn’t name anyone, Qin Zhao knew he spoke of the concubine.

She couldn’t believe that woman was so ruthless and malicious.

"This concubine is Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s past life?"

"Yes, please don’t intervene in this matter."

The man in the long robe could sense Qin Zhao’s strength; the illusion before them wouldn’t be able to hold her for long, "This is the karmic debt she created herself. As carefree as she was in her past life, she must repay it in this one."

"Are you sure she did it just for revenge?"

Qin Zhao sneered and suddenly stood up.

The moment she stood, the illusion around her crumbled.

She turned and hurried back to Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s house; the man in the long robe could not stop her.

The man looked down at a Magic Artifact in his hand, now shattered into several pieces.

If not for this Magic Artifact, he wouldn’t have been able to confine Qin Zhao at all.

Even if he had, it wouldn’t have been for more than a few minutes.

When Qin Zhao rushed back, Shangguan Qiu was seriously injured, and Chu Yan and the others, all ordinary people, were unconscious on the ground.

Sister-in-law Cui Fang was already dead, her soul detained beside the innkeeper.

"She’s not worthy of being your mother, come with me, I’ll treat you well."

The innkeeper waved out a mist of blood, enveloping the bloodied little lamb.

A two-meter tall, massive shadow with sheep horns and a human body slowly took shape on the ground.

The little lamb’s soul emerged from its body, immense in size.

It had a special bloodline, possessing two forms; the two-meter tall massive form was its combat form.

If it had assumed this form earlier, it could have killed Sister-in-law Cui Fang instantly.

But it had not.

Because of his mother’s disdain, he had chosen to give up on himself.

The immense soul stood there in a daze, staring at its own corpse on the ground.

"Wuu, wuu wuu."

Unlike the cries before, this time it sounded like a wail.

He was merely grieving for himself.

The innkeeper continued to coax him, "Don’t linger on her, come with me. I’ll treat you as my own child and make you stronger and stronger, so no one can ever bully you."

The little lamb’s soul turned and walked away.

He didn’t know where to go, perhaps to the deep mountains.

In a few years, the soul would become a wisp of yin energy, dissipating from the world.

"So ungrateful!"

The innkeeper’s voice turned vicious in an instant as the blood mist enveloped the little lamb.

Moreover, the blood mist started to spread over the entire town.

She wanted more than just revenge. She wanted ultimate power, to use this powerful creature for herself; she planned to enslave the monster born from Cui Fang forever!

A sinister smile played on the corner of the innkeeper’s lips—after all, she had created this monster herself, merely using Cui Fang’s womb. How could she let it go to waste?
