Chapter 150: What Is Evil? What Is Good? (Part 2)
Liu Sanniang looked at Miao Zhen and curled her lips up slightly. With a faint sneer, she asked. “What about you? Why did you poison Xu Xue and ruin her marriage?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Miao Zhen’s resentful eyes and said word by word, “Zhang Tianyou must be seriously injured. This is your retribution.”
Liu Sanniang’s response greatly agitated Miao Zhen. She stomped her walking stick, shouting. “Don’t be so full of yourself!”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “You have committed countless sins. Your retribution has arrived.”
Miao Zhen’s pupils constricted, and her turbid eyes were filled with hatred. “Ignorant thing, who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!”
Miao Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. With a flick of her finger, a small worm flew towards Liu Sanniang. However, the moment it touched Liu Sanniang’s body, it fell to the ground and made a hissing sound.
Mr. Xu and Xu Xue exclaimed. “Miss Liu, be careful.”
They did not expect Miao Zhen to try and poison Liu Sanniang.
Although the worm did not touch Liu Sanniang, it still terrified everyone.
It was a small worm, but it was poisonous. Liu Sanniang looked down. As soon as Miao Zhen came over, she used her strength to build a shield for herself.
Zhang Tianyou’s grandmother was a witch and knew how to use poisonous worms. Liu Sanniang did not dare to let her guard down.
After failing to poison Liu Sanniang, Miao Zhen’s expression darkened. She stared at Liu Sanniang, and her power surged out, turning into sharp steel needles that attacked Liu Sanniang’s spiritual sense. Her dry lips moved and she said resentfully, “Go to hell.”
Miao Zhen looked extremely terrifying at this moment. She was extremely old, her hair was ashen gray, her face was covered in wrinkles, and her turbid eyes were filled with malice.
Liu Sanniang could see that her power was black. In an instant, it enveloped her in darkness. It was filled with the coldness of hell.
Liu Sanniang did not hesitate for a moment. She closed her eyes and started chanting.
‘Namo Amitabha Buddha…’ (Note: Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra)
Miao Zhen’s power was filled with resentment. When Liu Sanniang chanted the scripture, her entire body emitted a Buddhist light. The resentment was dispelled by her, and the Buddhist light penetrated the darkness. Miao Zhen was injured by the backlash and spat out a mouthful of black blood towards Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang frowned. Someone reached out to pull her into his arms.
The black blood that Miao Zhen spat out splattered on the wood and immediately corroded it. Chu Yan hugged Liu Sanniang in his strong arms, and she leaned against his chest.
Seeing that the wood was eroded instantly by the black blood, she heaved a sigh of relief. If this mouthful of black blood sprayed on her face, she would have been finished.
After Miao Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, she seemed to have lost all her strength. She held onto her walking stick and panted heavily.
She raised her head and looked at Liu Sanniang viciously. She had been raising poisonous worms for many years and was already covered in poison. Liu Sanniang was very close to her, but Miao Zhen did not expect her to dodge the attack.
Miao Zhen looked at Chu Yan sinisterly. She had neglected this man’s presence till now.
Chu Yan did not even look at Miao Zhen’s sinister expression. Instead, he looked down at Liu Sanniang and said softly, “Be careful.”
After saying that, Chu Yan let go of Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang stood up and took two steps away from Chu Yan. She looked at Miao Zhen. “Remove the love poison from Xu Xue’s body. She is already awake. The love poison is useless to her. Even if she is tortured to death, she won’t be controlled by it. Xu Xue can still survive the torture. I’m afraid your grandson, Zhang Tianyou, won’t be able to withstand this pain so easily.”
If Zhang Tianyou had a change of heart, he might not suffer any backlash or pain, but once Xu Xue had a change of heart, he would suffer enormous pain.
Zhang Tianyou’s weak body could not withstand any pain at all.
Miao Zhen panted as she looked at Xu Xue resentfully. “Why did you betray my grandson?”
Xu Xue looked at Miao Zhen coldly in return. “What do you mean by betraying him? I don’t love him at all.”
When she said that she didn’t love him, Xu Xue felt a piercing pain in her heart. It was as if the worm inside her was gnawing at her mind, punishing her for her betrayal.
However, she did not love Zhang Tianyou to begin with. How could she betray him?
Miao Zhen’s eyes darkened. “Xu Xue, if you’re with Tianyou, you’ll live a life of luxury. Think about it carefully.”
Xu Xue’s face was pale and she was sweating due to the pain. She looked at Miao Zhen firmly, facing her fear. “I’m willing to live a poor life, but I’m not willing to marry Zhang Tianyou.”
No matter what kind of life she had, if it was her choice, she would have no regrets. If she was forced, she would resist until the end.
What was the point of living if one had no freedom to choose?
Miao Zhen’s expression was cold. “If I say that Tianyou’s body will recover and he will be healthy, are you still not willing to marry him?”
Miao Zhen looked into Xu Xue’s eyes. She couldn’t deal with Liu Sanniang, but she could deal with an ordinary person.
Xu Xue’s determined gaze became blank. Her mind gradually seemed to be controlled. She looked at Miao Zhen and slowly said, “I’m willing.”
Miao Zhen smiled sinisterly. “Tell me, what are you willing to do?”
Mr. Xu exclaimed. “Xue, wake up. Don’t be controlled by her, Xue.”
Xu Xue could not hear her father’s voice at all. She could not hear anyone’s voice. She had become a puppet and the string was in Miao Zhen’s hand.
Xu Xue slowly said, “I’m willing to marry Zhang Tianyou.”
Miao Zhen was very satisfied. She said, “Tell me, tell me that the person you love is Zhang Tianyou. You will never leave Zhang Tianyou in your life. Tell me you’re willing to be Zhang Tianyou’s slave and let him do whatever he wants, and that you will never change your mind in your life. Swear that if you change your mind, you will be punished by the heavens and be struck by lightning.”
After Miao Zhen finished speaking, Xu Xue said slowly, “The person I love is Zhang Tianyou. I won’t change my mind in this lifetime. I’m willing to be Zhang Tianyou’s slave. I’ll never leave him.”
