Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem
Chapter 625 - 261: The Painter Targeted by the Demon, Scandal in the Village (6000)_3

"She was also a pitiful person..."

Hearing these words, the faces of several middle-aged men nearby changed.

"Old Aru, don't say what shouldn't be said!"

However, when Cao Xing heard the old man's words, his eyes lit up.

"Let him speak."

These middle-aged men looked awkward, seemingly unwilling.

Yet, in the face of the faintly emanating powerful aura from Cao Xing and others, they each closed their mouths.

The old man glanced at Cao Xing, then at the corpse on the ground, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He said slowly, "When I was very young, there were hundreds of families living in Anno River Village."

"Back then, everyone was simple and honest. Every day the hunters would go to the mountain to hunt, the fishermen would catch fish in the river, and life was barely manageable."

"Among them, the kind and beautiful Jenny and her daughter Jenna also lived here."

"Sister Jenna was very kind to me; I often played with her."

"That year, it snowed continuously for several months..."

"Hundreds of people in the village were trapped at home, unable to go outside, and each household was running out of food!"

"Some villagers, driven by hunger, bullied Jenny's family, who had no man, and broke into their home."

"Not only did this group rob them of all their food, but they also humiliated the mother and daughter!"

At this point, the old man's eyes contained some anger and a trace of regret!

"Lady Jenny could not bear such humiliation and committed suicide at home."

"Afterwards, Jenny's daughter Jenna held her mother's cold body at home, waiting, hoping her father would return..."

"But she kept waiting and waiting... until the fire in the stove went out, and all the food at home was stolen..."

"With nowhere else to turn, Sister Jenna jumped into that ancient well..."

"At that time, I was still too young. I watched all this happen with my own eyes, yet was powerless!"

"If I could go back to that time, I would never let Jenna experience such a thing, even if it cost me my life!"

The old man's tone grew more and more excited.

The three middle-aged men beside him looked a bit stiff.

Cao Xing listened, deep in thought.

He continued to ask, "What happened next, old man?"

The old man, having calmed his emotions, replied.

"Later, because Jenna's resentment before her death was too great, she turned into a Resentful Spirit and began to take revenge on those who had harmed her and her mother!"

"For several years, every once in a while, we would hear screams from a villager's house. When we went to check, we found that the entire family had died miserably."

"For a time, the whole village was in a panic..."

"Until she killed all those dozens of families that bullied her and her mother, her anger gradually subsided."

"Now, nearly a hundred years have passed..."

"Jenna's Resentful Spirit still lingers inside that ancient well. Over the years, her resentment has only grown..."

"Anyone who approaches that area gets attacked by Jenna."

When the old man finished speaking, the villagers of Anno River Village all bowed their heads.

This was the village's shame.

Even after nearly a hundred years, the people here seemed unwilling to face it.

Moreover, the Resentful Spirit still occasionally killed some people, constantly reminding them of the evil deeds committed back then!

The old man, bowing his body, suddenly came before Cao Xing.

Then he knelt heavily on both knees.

"My lord, if you have the power..."

"Please help Miss Jenna, release her Resentful Spirit!"

"She was so pitiful..."

"Experiencing such cruel things in life, and still carrying hatred after death, staying in the same place for so many years!"

"This is too cruel for a little girl just a few years old!"

As he spoke, tears filled the old man's eyes, and he pressed his forehead against Cao Xing's boots.

Cao Xing pondered thoughtfully.

Clearly, this was a unique case.

Though he didn't know if it was related to the Generosity Trial, events like this usually had unexpected rewards.

Thus, Cao Xing helped the old man up and solemnly said, "I understand, old man."

"I will go and see that forbidden area you mentioned."

Hearing this, the old man was grateful beyond measure, thanking Cao Xing profusely.

Under the gaze of everyone.

The four of them placed the swollen corpse back on the stretcher and quickly left. This сhаptеr wаs mаdе pоssiblе by thе соmmunity аt МVLЕМРYR.

...

...

After the crowd dispersed.

Liu Muxue softly asked from the side, "Are we going to that forbidden area?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Mm, let's go have a look."

"But... the old man said that Resentful Spirit has existed for over a hundred years and has grown stronger. Could it be dangerous?"

It must be admitted that Liu Muxue's analysis was reasonable.

Although Cao Xing had confidence in his own strength, he preferred to be cautious.

"You're right, I'll call Blom and the others over."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue showed a faint smile.

He pressed the communication device on his ear and said, "Blom, bring Andrew and Lu'en over, we have a mission."

A noisy sound came from the other side of the call.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

"Yes... yes, Lord! Blom will be there soon!"

Cao Xing gave his location to Blom.

Soon.

Blom, Andrew, Lu'en, and a few other big guys walked over.

The three of them were as sturdy as a door panel, and as they walked side by side, they took up the entire street.
