Mother Li touched the blood on her face that couldn't stop flowing, her voice filled with pain as she vented, "That wretched creature has turned into a puppet. Where did the body and ashes come from?"
If she didn't mention that she had Xiao Bao's ashes, there was no way Li Manning would spare her.
Even if she didn't die now, she wouldn't be much better off than death.
Li Manning's face turned terrifyingly angry upon hearing her words, her expression filled with horror. She should never have held even a glimmer of hope.
The anger of being deceived enveloped Li Manning, and she stared coldly at Mother Li, her gaze full of darkness. "Tell me, which Taoist did you give Xiao Bao to? If you tell me, I'll spare your life!"
"Hahaha..." Mother Li burst into mad laughter, unable to stop, completely uncontrollable.
Dark clouds covered Li Manning's face, and she roared in anger, "Stop laughing! Tell me, where did you send Xiao Bao?!"
Mother Li's laughter stopped, her eyes empty, and fresh blood still flowed from her eye sockets, facing the direction of Li Manning.
This scene was both eerie and terrifying.
Mother Li no longer looked like a person; she clearly appeared like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
Facing Li Manning's direction, her tone was full of resentment and hatred. "I won't tell you, I will never tell you!"
The provocative words made it impossible for people not to be enraged.
Li Manning could no longer maintain her sanity. "I'm going to kill you!"
She reached out to grab Mother Li, truly intending to kill her.
But the latter burst forth with a powerful force, breaking free from Li Manning's restraint.
Mother Li smirked, "I have nothing left to live for. If you're willing to descend into the path of the ruthless ghost to seek revenge against us, I'm willing to sacrifice my eternal soul just to kill you, you wretched creature and let your soul scatter!"
As she spoke, she quickly slammed into the nearby corner of the wall.
Qin Ruan had been coldly observing the scene for a while and finally took action.
She lightly twirled her slender fingers at her side, and a golden light shot out, heading towards Mother Li's direction.
Just as Mother Li's head was about to hit the corner of the wall, it was forcefully pushed away by a surge of power.
She sat on the ground with a thud, looking disheveled and pitiful. Even the beggars on West City Street had more grace than her.
Qin Ruan stood up and walked towards Li Manning and Mother Li.
Her gaze was fixed on the furious Li Manning, and she spoke in a gentle and slow voice, "If she won't tell you, I can help you search her soul and find the so-called master who took your son away."
The last word "master" was filled with indescribable sarcasm.
What kind of person could make little puppets? They were nothing more than practitioners of evil arts.
"Really?!" Li Manning turned around, her eyes filled with a sinister and persistent gaze as she stared at Qin Ruan.
Excitement, anticipation, and a hint of joy for finding her son filled her face.
Qin Ruan walked up to her and answered with her actions.
She raised her hand, and golden threads of light spread out from her hand, flowing towards Mother Li, who was lying in a miserable state on the ground.
The golden light surrounded her head, penetrating her skull like threads, absorbing every frame of memory from her mind.
Qin Ruan slowly closed her eyes and began to search for the memories she wanted.
As Mother Li memories poured into her mind, Qin Ruan's expression changed several times.
She felt the oppression that Li Manning had experienced in her life, saw her loneliness, loss, repression, and bewildered figure. She also witnessed how Father Li and Mother Li treated her with cold eyes, treating her with disdain as if she were not human.
What infuriated Qin Ruan the most was the disgusting thoughts Father Li had towards Li Manning.
Mother Li was indeed not Li Manning's biological mother, but Father Li was her biological father.
As for Li Manning's birth mother, she was Mother Li's good friend.
It was a melodramatic experience. Even after Father Li got married, he couldn't let go and played with his wife's best friend's feelings, resulting in the birth of a child.
Li Manning was the proof of this despicable affair.
Mother Li couldn't conceive and turned a blind eye to her husband's affair with her best friend. It wasn't until her friend gave birth that Mother Li bribed a doctor to keep the child and sent her friend to the netherworld.
Her methods were ruthless and decisive.
No one knew about this except Mother Li and the doctor at the time, not even Father Li was aware of it.
As Father Li grew older, he became indifferent to women and began to desire money. He felt guilty facing Mother Li every day.
Li Manning's background was indeed unsightly, but he shouldn't have developed any thoughts for her.
He didn't deserve to be a father, nor did he deserve to be a human being.
Due to their selfish desires, Father Li and Mother Li refused to let Li Manning break free and molded her into the image they wanted, treating her like a puppet.
Whenever they were dissatisfied, they would oppress Li Manning relentlessly, inflicting physical, mental, and emotional torment on her.
After a long time, Qin Ruan finally found the scene where Mother Li handed over the thin and crying little boy to a middle-aged man.
The man who took the baby away was none other than Xu Zhenren, who appeared at the wedding of Nangong Chang and Xiao Wenrou some time ago and may or may not have targeted Third Master.
Xu Zhenren was a member of the Yin Yang Sect. Shortly after Qin Ruan brought him back to the Hou family, the Yin Yang Sect abandoned him. He disappeared without a trace, leaving no traces within the Six Realms.
Qin Ruan slowly opened her eyes, and a solemn expression appeared on her face.
She never expected that the master who took Li Manning's child would be Xu Zhenren. This could be troublesome.
Seeing Qin Ruan's expression, Li Manning asked anxiously, "Did you find him? Did you find Xiao Bao?"
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows and said to her, "The situation is complicated."
"Did you not find him?" Li Manning's face looked even worse than when she was crying.
Qin Ruan replied firmly, "I can find Xiao Bao."
Little Bao has been turned into a puppet, but his soul is still intact. As long as his wandering soul is in this world, she will definitely be able to find him.
Li Manning's emotions were like a roller coaster. Knowing that there was still hope, she pleaded with Qin Ruan, "Please help me!"
Qin Ruan stood with her hands in her pockets, looking at her with a calm expression. "What will you do after you find Little Bao?" she asked.
Li Manning lowered her gaze and stared at the miserable figure of her mother lying on the ground, her expression dark and dangerous. "I will drag all those who have humiliated us into hell. I want them to suffer a hundredfold, a thousandfold torment that I have endured!"
She had long disregarded life and death. Even if her soul were to be scattered in seeking revenge, she was willing to pay the price.
Seeing the hatred on Li Manning's face, Qin Ruan chuckled lightly, a smile playing on her lips.
Having gained access to Mother Li's memories, she understood everything that Li Manning had gone through. There was no point in saying anything that wouldn't make a difference.
Qin Ruan stood as an observer, looking at the events between Li Manning, her father, and mother.
Learning about Li Manning's experiences, she felt anger, sympathy, and a hint of pity for Li Manning, but she couldn't truly comprehend the pain and despair that Li Manning had personally experienced.
If this were to be seen by the public, aside from her true fans, most people would treat it as a joke.
That's how the world works, and it's a sad reality.
Only Li Manning, who had experienced those events, truly understood the pain, oppression, heartache, and despair involved.
Only she herself could make the decision on how to break free from this cycle.
If Qin Ruan were to take an outsider's perspective, she would tell Li Manning that it wasn't worth it. She and her child had their own destinies and reincarnations in the next life.
But this time, Qin Ruan couldn't bring herself to say those words.
Many things need to be considered from another person's perspective. Qin Ruan's past experiences taught her that if she were in Li Manning's shoes, her actions might be even more brutal than those of Li Manning.
Some things aren't as simple as they appear, even if it's just a small matter. Only those who have experienced it firsthand have the right to judge.
Qin Ruan pulled her hand out of her pocket and lazily covered her mouth, letting out a yawn.
Her eyes glistened with tired tears, and her voice carried a hint of hoarseness. "Do you have any attachment left in this world? If not, then come with me."
Li Manning, lingering in the human world, was like a ticking time bomb. It would be safer for her to stay by Qin Ruan's side.
Finding Little Bao was not as simple as just searching for him. Qin Ruan wasn't an authentic celestial master and would need the help of Qiao Nanyuan, Lu Wenbin, and others.
Li Manning confirmed with Qin Ruan once again, "Can you really help me find Little Bao?"
Qin Ruan blinked her watery eyes and spoke with a light but confident tone, "Little Bao has been turned into a puppet, but his soul won't dissipate. As long as he's within the Six Realms, I will definitely find him through various means."
Within the boundaries of the other five realms besides the human realm, as long as the King of the Underworld was present, there was no need to fear not being able to find Little
Qin Ruan hummed in response, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes and turning to walk towards the door.
Li Manning floated behind her, not moving. She gazed at Qin Ruan's figure and spoke calmly, "Before you leave, there is one last thing I need to do."
Qin Ruan didn't turn her head, but raised her hand and made a gesture of farewell. "Then hurry up. I'm tired and want to go home to sleep."
Lu Han had been standing at the door all this time. The moment the door opened, his weapon was aimed directly at Qin Ruan.
Seeing that it was Qin Ruan, he immediately lowered his weapon.
"Madam Hou, are you alright?"
Qin Ruan squinted her eyes and glanced at him. "I was fine until I saw that thing in your hand. It startled me."
Listening to her tone, it seemed like she was genuinely frightened.
Lu Han carefully examined Qin Ruan's exhausted face. Her eyelids were almost unable to stay open.
This wasn't a case of being frightened; she was clearly pushed to the limits of exhaustion.
Hou Zhi, seeing the tired state of her master, immediately pushed Lu Han aside and approached Qin Ruan, supporting her carefully.
"Madam, let me help you to the car to rest. It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold."
If the Third Young Master were to see his wife in this state, who knows how worried he would be.
"Mmm..."
Qin Ruan leaned on Hou Zhi's shoulder and, with each step, they walked towards the Hou family car.
"Ah ah ah!!!"
"Li Manning! I'll kill you!!!"
"You wretch! Bastard! I won't let you go even if I die, ah ah ah!!!"
"I'll kill you, even if it means going to hell, I'll kill you, you wretched woman!!!"
"Wretch!!!!"
The sound of a mournful and terrifying wail echoed from inside the Li residence.
Lu Han stood at the door of the Li residence, being the closest one. At the moment the sound rang out, he shivered all over, his body covered in goosebumps.
