As their figures faded away, Li Manning abruptly shook off Qin Ruan's hand and chased after them.
"Xiao Bao!!!"
She lunged at empty air, the living room now empty, with no sight of the two messengers and Xiao Bao.
She stared blankly in the direction Xiao Bao disappeared, her blood-red eyes gradually turning pitch black. Although she was just a ghost, she seemed like a soulless walking corpse.
Qin Ruan calmly walked up to Li Manning with composed steps.
She patted the other's shoulder and softly said, "Stop looking."
Li Manning shrugged off her hand, turning to stare at Qin Ruan with a hostile glimmer in her eyes.
"You cannot understand the feeling of being a mother, helplessly watching your child leave!"
Qin Ruan's gaze remained cold and indifferent, devoid of the innocence that should have belonged to someone her age. All that remained was desolate apathy.
How could she not understand or be unaware of the pain and anguish involved?
Qin Ruan caressed her belly, her voice low and impassive. "Only by sending Xiao Bao away can we exchange it for a better future."
Li Manning's face contorted in a ferocious expression. "What future does he have left? Neither ghost nor demon, what future is there for him? He won't even have a peaceful reincarnation! Why is our world so bleak? Why is the world so unfair to us? Why must misfortune befall us?!"
An eerie and terrifying aura emanated from Li Manning, causing her long hair to rise without wind, and the furniture in the Qiao family's living room to shake slightly.
Her signs of frenzy were evident, as all the suppression she had exerted was now released in this moment.
Qin Ruan formed a seal with both hands, sending her dark energy into Li Manning's soul.
The overwhelming malevolent energy dissipated in an instant, and the living room returned to tranquility.
Qin Ruan coldly stared at Li Manning, her eyes devoid of emotion as she spoke in a chilly and flat voice, "Are you sober now?"
Li Manning tightly pursed her lips, her hands clenched into fists, showing that she was still unable to let go.
Qin Ruan's deep and pitch-black eyes fixed on Li Manning. "Your fate knows neither fairness nor unfairness, acceptance nor refusal. Cause and effect have long been determined. Life is not meant for lamentation and regret, nor can you compensate by going insane or crazy to return to the past. What you need to do now is to change Xiao Bao's future. There are countless people in this world who suffer even more than you. Have you ever thought about why you alone receive indulgence from the underworld? Have you considered that?"
Li Manning shook her head lightly. "I don't know."
A smile curled on Qin Ruan's lips. "It's alright if you don't know. Just remember, this is your last lifeline. Stop killing, even if it means giving up great merits that come naturally to you. It's not sustainable for you."
Li Manning raised her gaze, looking at Qin Ruan with a surprised and puzzled expression, devoid of her previous madness.
"What do you mean by that?"
Qin Ruan asked her, "Who is the greatest in the underworld?"
Li Manning replied straightforwardly, "The King of the Underworld."
While most people only know about the King of the Underworld, few are aware of the North Emperor of Fengdu, and what she said was not entirely wrong.
Qin Ruan spoke in a gentle tone, "You have more than ten lives in your hands. Why didn't the Yin officers take you to the underworld?"
Li Manning frowned and shook her head again, "I don't know."
Qin Ruan chuckled softly, "I don't know either."
Li Manning's mouth twitched, feeling like Qin Ruan was playing with her.
Qin Ruan smiled, his voice warm, "Although the King of the Underworld is a cunning person, his heart is still soft. He is more tolerant towards those who have suffered from unfairness."
"After resolving matters in the human realm, no matter where you and Xiao Bao are in the underworld, whether it's Hell or the ghost realm, as long as you can hold on, the King of the Underworld might consider reconstructing a new soul and three spirits for your son, Xiao Bao."
"Really?!"
A radiant light sparkled in Li Manning's bright and bewitching eyes.
Qin Ruan nodded, "From my understanding, there is a high possibility of that happening. It depends on whether you're willing to take a gamble."
"Of course, I'm willing to gamble. I'm willing to risk everything, even if it means my soul being scattered!"
Her loss was due to Xiao Bao losing his new soul and three spirits.
Qin Ruan asked, "So, do you still feel that your world is bleak, that everything you have experienced is unfair, and that you harbor discontent?"
Li Manning pursed her lips. She still wanted to say it was unfair, that she was discontented.
Facing Qin Ruan's smiling gaze, she didn't want to argue.
Qin Ruan could see what she was thinking, "In my opinion, everything you have experienced in this life has already been destined. The moment you didn't resist your parents, it was fated to end tragically. Cause and effect have already been predetermined."
Li Manning opened her mouth but slowly closed it.
She was already dead, so what else could be said?
It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but in the face of her parents, there would always be considerations.
In the end, it was all a joke, making her filial piety seem ridiculous.
Li Manning's soul seemed to be cleansed as the black gas that entangled her body drifted out from her soul and gradually disappeared into the void.
Qin Ruan, with a sense of satisfaction in her brows and eyes, said, "After your death, you were able to indulge in the underworld and meet me. It's fair to say that this is your new life. Don't let the past pain and suppressed life affect your present."
Li Manning's tightly pursed lips relaxed, and a faint smile appeared, "Other than Xiao Bao, I have no other concerns now."
Qin Ruan laughed, turned around, and searched for Qiao Nanyuan's figure in the hall.
After searching for a while, she saw three faces peeking out from behind the sofa.
"Qiao Nanyuan, Qiao Jiu, and Lin Hao crouched behind the sofa, eagerly watching Qin Ruan and Li Manning.
Their three pairs of eyes blinked non-stop. If it weren't for their eyeballs moving, Qin Ruan would have wondered what was wrong with them.
Qin Ruan helplessly asked, ''Uncle Qiao, what are you doing?''
Qiao Jiu and Lin Hao hiding behind the sofa, she could understand. But Qiao Nanyuan joining in made her feel a sense of dissonance.
Cough... Qiao Nanyuan stood up straight, coughed uncomfortably twice.
He patted Qiao Jiu's head and said, ''It's all because of this little girl. She's afraid that I'll be taken away by the underworld, so she's hiding with me.''
Qiao Jiu nodded in agreement.
Qin Ruan smiled but remained silent. Her gaze shifted to Lin Hao and she asked, ''And what about you, Hao ge?''
Lin Hao placed his hand over his heart and stared at Qin Ruan with a particularly pitiful look. After surviving the disaster, he said, ''Qin Xiaowu, if something happens to me today, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost.''
Qin Ruan's expression turned playful. ''Have you had enough of being a human and want to become a ghost?''
Lin Hao held his hands over his heart, slumped onto the sofa with his long legs, and said with a breathless tone, ''Don't joke around. I feel like I'm dreaming right now!''
Qin Ruan understood his feelings today, encountering both ghost spirits and emissaries from the underworld. She decided not to tease him any further.
''Let's open the curtains, shall we?''
''I'll do it!!!'' Qiao Jiu stepped forward happily and went to open all the curtains.
Qin Ruan also took action and opened the nearby curtains.
Warm sunlight poured in from outside the window, casting a gentle hue in the spacious hall. The chilly atmosphere dispersed under the bathing of sunlight.
Li Manning's soul was also bathed in the sunlight, adding a touch of warmth to her being.
