The moment her mother picked her up, Little Mu Yao grinned and gave the former a big kiss.
When Little Xia He, who had just learned how to walk, saw this scene, she couldn’t stop smiling and reached out her hand, trying to grab something.
Seeing that, Little Mu Yao reached out to pinch her little sister.
The next moment, Little Xia He grabbed Little Mu Yao’s hand and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
Instantly, Qin Yu and the two little brats burst out laughing, and the entire courtyard was now filled with laughter instead of cries.
This beautiful memory flashed past and she returned to reality.
Xia He, who was still holding the knife, was glaring at her. Mu Yao’s clear eyes were filled with pain.
Why couldn’t it be someone else confronting her? Why did it have to be Xia He?
While Mu Yao was hesitating, Xia He coldly said, “Mu Yao, you’re still haunting me like a ghost. You’re already in the netherworld, yet you’re still ruining my plans. Do you know how many of my men have died to lure you out? Do you know how much punishment I’ll suffer if my master finds out about this?!”
As Xia He spoke, the knife in her hand drew closer to Zimo and Zichun’s necks and even touched their skin. If she took another step closer, they would bleed!
The more Xia He spoke, the colder her eyes became. She was like an emotionless demon.
“So, I don’t care if you’re a human or a ghost! If you ruin my plan, you’re my enemy and I’ll kill you! Put down your weapon now and the two kids will live, do you hear me, Mu Yao?”
Mu Yao’s heart sank and her eyes were filled with pain. It wasn’t heartache for her children being threatened by Xia He, it was heartache for that discerning Xia He who knew good from evil and had had love in her heart. That Xia He was gone…
‘Why did you turn out this way, Xia He? Why did you have to kill these commoners for no reason? Why did you have to be so cruel?’
‘Be it human or ghost? As long as they hinder you, they’re your enemy? Ha… Everything has changed. Even those who were close to me have changed.’ Mu Yao thought to herself.
Mu Yao wiped away the tears in her eyes, looked up, and said in a choked voice, “Xia He, I’m your sister, and you’re holding my children. They’re also your nephew and niece. Are you sure you want to continue doing such a wrong thing?”
The moment Xia He heard the words “I’m your sister”, a trace of clarity flashed past her fierce eyes. However, in an instant, this clarity was covered by hatred.
Disgusted, she yelled, “My sister? Shut up, Mu Yao! The moment you were caught, you were no longer part of our family. You’ve disgraced our family. I hate you. You’re the one who brought disaster to our country. You’re not my sister. You shouldn’t even be alive!”
As she said so, Xia He looked at the two children in her arms with an ambiguous smile. “My nephew and niece? Hahaha…”
She raised his head and glared at Mu Yao. Her eyes were murky as she said, “They’re the children of a traitor. Mu Yao, you’re so shameless. You not only managed to survive, but even have a pair of children. You’re a traitor who brought the entire country down, so what are they then?”
Xia He glanced at the men in black, who immediately understood what she meant, and shouted,
“Boss, they’re obviously demons too! We have to get rid of them. Otherwise, Tianlong will continue to be in danger!”
“Did she say that what we’re doing is wrong? This demoness is really spouting nonsense! We are all top-notch Daoists of the Tianlong Temple. What we do is chivalrous and righteous. We punish evil and advocate good. If we don’t kill you today, we will be letting the evil continue to wreak havoc!” another man shouted.
“That’s right! She clearly died on the sacrificial altar. How did she revive herself?”
One of his compatriots replied, “Isn’t that simple? It’s because she is a demoness! How else could an ordinary person come back from the dead? It’s really too scary. She caused Tianlong to suffer a huge defeat in that battle. Is it not enough that so many innocent soldiers died? Now, she isn’t even staying in the underworld and is coming back to harm the human world! Boss! We have to kill her quickly! Killing her will bring glory to Tianlong! If the priest knows about this, he will definitely promote you to be the principal disciple!”
“That’s right. This demoness just killed so many of our brothers and delayed us from completing the mission given to us. We have to kill her so that we can continue our mission and report to the Master!”
“Get rid of the demoness! Get rid of her!”
“Get rid of that demoness’s children!”
“Get rid of them!” The men chanted in unison.
The cries of the men in black echoed in the village!
The men in black standing at the entrance of the other houses also looked pleased as they agreed wholeheartedly.
On the other hand, the villagers were covered in blood and injuries watched on in horror.
They were terrified that Mu Yao would die!
If she died, all the villagers would be on the road to sure death!
