Chapter 777: Chapter 519 Traditional Virtues (First Update) _2

Beautiful, just so beautiful!

Mi Zheng admitted that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. The sight of Mu Lin was the most captivating.

Ten holes, fifty-six wounds.

Doubled, that’s twenty holes, one hundred and twelve wounds. By the time Mu Lin was done, Tang Qian was nothing but a pool of blood, each patch of skin on his body marred, his form collapsed on the ground.

Tang Qian’s breaths were barely noticeable now, his pain intolerable. His wounds had already gone from hurting to being almost numb from the pain.

Nonchalantly discarding the thoroughly blood-stained knife to one side, Mu Lin delightedly watched Tang Qian. "Mr. Tang Qian, how does it feel?" It must be rather pleasant, she figured.

"If...you...have...the guts,...kill...me." Tang Qian had almost totally exhausted at this point. He could feel his life leaving him but the things Mu Lin had made him ingest were keeping him from dying that easily.

In this very moment, he finally tasted the pain and despair that Mu Jue had suffered at his hands.

"Kill you." Hearing these words, Mu Lin chuckled, "Why would I do that? Don’t you know that what I enjoy the most is watching people struggle between life and death?" The casual curve of her lips somehow exuded a chillingly cold aura. "Tang Qian, death would be the best thing that could happen to you right now. But sadly, I won’t let it be. After all, it would be too easy for you."

"I really feel that I’m getting the short end of the stick here."

Saying so, she suddenly produced another unidentified pill in her hand, directly throwing it into Tang Qian’s mouth. "Although it seems a bit wasteful, I should thank you. If you hadn’t lured me into that mystifying forest, I wouldn’t have found the herbs I’ve been dreaming of." For Mu Lin, that place was an absolute treasure chest. If it wasn’t for the promise to the old Master of the Gong Family, she probably would still be wandering in there right now.

Looking at him coldly, "So this little gift serves as my gratitude to you; there’s no need for you to thank me."

"Being generous, I’ll let you live another three days. After that... you know what happens." After three days, even the gods would probably be unable to save him.

He would die in disgrace, wouldn’t he?

Having said that, Mu Lin stood up. Jing Chen stepped forward to steady her, a clean wet towel appearing in his hand. "Wipe yourself clean. You have dirtied yourself."

Jing Chen’s eyes were tender. From beginning to end, they remained unchanged.

He didn’t blink at the sight of Mu Lin’s bloodshed and cruelty.

Mu Lin took the towel and flashed him a brilliant smile. Perhaps the only person in the whole world who could watch her commit such acts without changing their demeanor was her grandfather.

Now, Mu Lin began to feel fortunate that she had once saved Jing Chen.

That was where their significant connection began.

With the chief culprit now taken care of, Mu Lin’s mood was elated.

Master, it seems like I have avenged you.

As this thought passed through her mind, she turned her frosty eyes toward a corner in the distance. Seeing Mi Zheng smile at her, she withdrew her gaze.

Bian, she decided not to bother him this time. Next time... they would settle their scores.

She felt a bit tired.

Mu Lin casually called over two people of the Gong family, "Help me get ’these two’ out of the Gong family. Where you dump them is totally up to you. Just make sure they’re out of my sight. Of course, if someone wants to pick up their corpses, I certainly won’t stop your kindness."

On hearing Mu Lin’s words, the two men looked at each other, then hastened to drag the two bodies away.

With Mu Lin’s identity now revealed, and given the old Master Gong’s attitude, they couldn’t and dared not disobey her commands.

Watching all this unfold, everyone’s thoughts were complex.

Then, Mu Lin turned to the crowd, her icy voice ringing out, "Actually, I’m a person who really hates to be bothered. While I can’t be called a good person, at the very least, I’ve never provoked anyone first. So..."

"Today, while everyone’s here, I thought I’d leave you with a thought. The only virtue I possess is that I’m protective of my own. If someone provokes the people I care about again, their fate would be much, much worse than what you’ve just witnessed."

"After all, I assume none of you have forgotten who I am, and... what I’m capable of. Today, I imagine you’ve been given a deep impression."

With a faint smile, Mu Lin swept her gaze around the room, "It’s getting late, I need to go and change. Please, carry on."

Finished with her speech, Mu Lin approached the old master of the Gong family and took out two porcelain bottles from her bag. "Grandpa, may you live a long, healthy life. Here, Linlin prepared a tonic for you to take every morning when you wake up. It’s very convenient."

"Very good, very good." The old master of the Gong family was thrilled to receive it. "Linlin is such a good girl. Go and change."

Mu Lin nodded, holding Jing Chen’s arm as they went back to their courtyard.

As for the front yard, everyone found their own reasons to leave after Mu Lin left, and the Gong family once again returned to normal.

That night, no one at the Gong family bothered Mu Lin, including the old master and Gong Muxue; everyone knew that Mu Lin was pregnant and after all this turmoil, what she needed most was rest.
