Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Soul Searching and Memory Reading, the Pitiful Worldly Wisdom

Touching the unstoppable blood on her face, Mother Li released a pained voice, "The bastard has already turned into a little Puppet, where would there be a corpse and ashes!"

If she’s never mentioned she had Xiaobao’s ashes, how could Li Manning have let her go.

Even if she didn’t die now, it wasn’t much better than death.

Upon hearing her words, Li Manning’s face tightened in anger, frighteningly terrifying. She shouldn’t have harbored a shred of hope.

The fury of being deceived enveloped Li Manning, her eyes coldly fixed on Mother Li, "Tell me, to which Taoist did you give Xiaobao? I will spare your life if you do!"

"Hahaha..." Mother Li laughed maniacally, so relentlessly that she couldn’t stop.

Li Manning’s face was covered in gloom, and she roared, "Stop laughing! Tell me, where did you send Xiaobao?!"

Mother Li’s laughter ceased, her hollow yet still bleeding eyes fixated in Li Manning’s direction.

The scene was both weird and terrifying.

Mother Li wasn’t looking human anymore, appearing more like an Evil Puppet that had crawled out from Hell.

She looked in Li Manning’s direction, her tone riddled with bitter resentment, directed at her in hatred, "I will not tell you, will never tell you!"

In the provocation of her words, it was impossible to stay calm.

Li Manning’s rationality couldn’t hold anymore, "I will kill you!"

She reached out to grab Mother Li, truly intending to kill her.

Mother Li’s body erupted with immense strength, breaking free from Li Manning’s restraint.

Triumphantly, Mother Li said, "I have nothing left to live for. If you are willing to fall into the Evil Puppet Path just to seek revenge from us, I am willing to sacrifice my soul for eternity, just to kill you, you bastard, and scatter your soul to the wind!"

As she spoke, she violently dashed toward a nearby corner of the room.

Qin Ruan silently watched for a long while before she finally made her move.

Her slender fingers gently twirled at her side and a beam of golden light shot out, flying towards Mother Li.

Mother Li’s head was about to hit the corner of the room when she was repelled by a force.

She fell butt-first to the ground in a pitiful, embarrassing state. Even the beggars in the West City street had more dignity than her.

Qin Ruan rose to her feet and moved towards Li Manning and Mother Li.

Her gaze rested on Li Manning, whose figure was consumed with rage. A slow voice sounded, "If she refuses to tell you, I can help you search her soul, find the so-called Master who took your son."

The final word, Master, was filled with inexpressible mockery.

A Master capable of cultivating a little Puppet would never be a good person. He’s just part of the Evil Path.

"Really?!" Li Manning turned her head, her dark and obstinate eyes fixated on Qin Ruan.

Her face filled with excitement and anticipation, and a glimmer of joy at the prospect of finding her son.

Qin Ruan walked up to her and responded with action.

She raised her hand, and golden lights spread out from her palm, flowing towards Mother Li who lay pathetically on the ground.

The golden light enveloped her head, penetrative as silk threads through her brain, extracting each and every memory from her mind.

With slow closing eyes, Qin Ruan started searching for the memories she needed.

As Mother Li’s memories flooded into her mind, Qin Ruan’s expression shifted several times.

She felt the oppression Li Manning endured throughout her life, saw her loneliness, loss, suppression, and confusion, as well as the indifference of Father Li and Mother Li and their contempt towards her as if she were nothing.

What angered Qin Ruan the most were the nauseating thoughts Father Li had for Li Manning.

Mother Li wasn’t Li Manning’s biological mother, but Father Li was indeed her biological father.

As for Li Manning’s birth mother, she was Mother Li’s good friend.

It was indeed a farcical story. Even after marriage, Father Li didn’t restrain his feelings and played with the friend’s feelings, and even had a child.

Li Manning was the proof of this ignoble affair.

Unable to bear a child herself, Mother Li knew her husband was having an affair with her friend, but she chose to turn a blind eye.

During childbirth, she bribed the doctor to save the child and let the friend die. She handed over money and sent her friend to the Underworld.

Her tactics were ruthless and decisive.

Aside from Mother Li and the doctor, no one else knew about it, even Father Li was kept in the dark.

As he aged, Father Li lost interest in women and began to desire money. Every day he faced Mother Li, feeling guilty about her.

Li Manning’s birth wasn’t celebrated, but he had no right to see her that way.

He was not fit to be a father, and certainly not a human.

Father Li and Mother Li, for their own selfish desires, refused to let Li Manning break free from their control. They molded her into their desired image as if she was a puppet.

Any hint of dissatisfaction, and they would oppress Li Manning, tormenting her physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

After a long while, Qin Ruan finally found a scene where Mother Li handed over a skinny, constantly crying little boy to a middle-aged man.

The man holding Xiaobao wasn’t someone else, it was none other than Master Xu who was at the wedding of Nangong Chang and Xiao Wenrou a while back, unsure whether he was aiming to harm the Third Master.

Master Xu was a member of the Yin Yang Sect. Shortly after Qin Ruan brought him back to the Huo Family, he was abandoned by the members of Yin Yang Sect. His soul and spirit vanished like smoke, leaving no trace in the Six Realms.

Qin Ruan slowly opened her eyes, a solemn look brewing in them.

She didn’t expect the Master who took Li Manning’s child to be Master Xu, this was a bit troubling now.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s uneasy expression, Li Manning asked anxiously, "Did you find him? Have you found Xiaobao?"

Qin Ruan’s brows furrowed, replying, "The situation is somewhat complicated."

"Didn’t you find it?" Li Manning’s face looked more agonized than if she were crying.

Qin Ruan said, "The scum who took your son has already died, so the process of locating your son might not be smooth."

"Can you find Xiaobao?" Li Manning only wanted to know where her son was.

Qin Ruan spoke with certainty, "I can."

Xiaobao was turned into a puppet, his soul still existed. As long as his soul was in the mortal world, she would definitely be able to find him.

Li Manning’s emotions were like a roller coaster. Knowing there was hope, she pleaded with Qin Ruan, "Please help me!"

Qin Ruan put her hands in her pockets, looking at her indifferently, "After finding Xiaobao, what are you going to do next?"

Li Manning’s gaze fell onto her distraught mother lying on the floor, her expression grim and dangerous, "I will drag all those who humiliated us to Hell and make them suffer a hundred, a thousand times over the torment I’ve experienced!"

She had already discarded fear of life and death, even if it meant her soul would be scattered in her quest for revenge.

Seeing the hatred on Li Manning’s face, Qin Ruan chuckled lightly, her expression tolerant.

After acquiring Li Manning’s mother’s memories, she understood all that Li Manning had experienced and could not tell her that all her suffering was in vain.

Qin Ruan was an observer, analyzing the matters of Li Manning and her parents.

Upon learning about Li Manning’s experiences, she felt anger, sympathy, and pity, but she could not truly know Li Manning’s feelings, as she had not experienced them herself.

If other people discovered what Li Manning had experienced, apart from her true fans, most would treat it as a laughingstock.

Such is human nature, such is the sad reality.

Only Li Manning, who had gone through such experiences, was aware of the suppressed pain, heartache, and despair involved.

And only she could decide how to let go of these murky connections.

If Qin Ruan were an onlooker, she would tell Li Manning that it was not worth it, that she and her child still had their karma and debts to pay in their next life.

This time, Qin Ruan couldn’t say these words.

In many matters, one had to consider from others’ perspectives. Qin Ruan’s experiences in her previous life told her that if she were in Li Manning’s position, her actions might have been even more ruthless.

Some things were not as simple as everyone thought. Even a small matter required personal experience to judge.

Qin Ruan took her hand from her pocket, covered her mouth and lazily yawned.

Her eyes filled with tired teardrops, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "Do you still have any lingering attachments here? If not, come with me."

Li Manning remaining in the mortal world was like a ticking time bomb, safer by Qin Ruan’s side.

Finding Xiaobao was not as simple as just searching.

Qin Ruan was not an authentic Heavenly Master, she needed the help of people like Qiao Nanyuan and Lun Wenbin.

Li Manning asked Qin Ruan once again, "Can you really help me find Xiaobao?"

Qin Ruan’s blinking watery eyes, light and confident voice confirmed, "Xiaobao was turned into a puppet, his soul will not dissipate. As long as he is within the six realms, I will definitely find him through various means."

Besides the Human Realm, within the scope of the other five realms, with the Underworld King there, they should not worry about being unable to find Xiaobao’s soul.

If even the Underworld King cannot find him, then he should give up his position.

Li Manning pondered for a moment and nodded to Qin Ruan, "Alright, I will go with you!"

Qin Ruan hummed in reply, rubbed away the tears from her eyes, and turned to walk towards the door.

Li Manning floated behind her without moving, staring at Qin Ruan’s departing figure and calmly saying, "Before we leave, I have one last thing to do."

Without turning her head, Qin Ruan raised her hand and made an all-right gesture to her, "Then hurry up, I’m tired and want to go home to sleep."

Lu Han had always been guarding the door, the moment the door opened, the weapon in his hand pointed directly at Qin Ruan.

Upon seeing Qin Ruan, he quickly lowered his weapon.

"Madam Huo, are you alright?"

Qin Ruan squinted at him, giving him a glance, "I was fine until that thing in your hand gave me a fright."

From her tone, it seemed like she was truly scared.

Lu Han carefully assessed Qin Ruan’s exhausted face, her eyelids were barely staying open.

This wasn’t fear, it was clear signs of extreme fatigue.

Seeing Madam in such a worn-out state, Huo Zhi immediately pushed Lu Han away and carefully supported Qin Ruan, "Madam, I’ll help you to the car so you can rest. It’s windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

If the Third Master saw Madam in this state, he wouldn’t know how distressed he might be.

"Hmm——"

Qin Ruan leaned on Huo Zhi’s shoulder as they walked towards the Huo Family’s car step by step.

"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"

"Li Manning! I’m going to kill you!!!"

"Witch! Bastards! Even if I die, I won’t spare you ah ah ah ah!!!"

"I’m going to kill you, even if I go to Hell, I’m going to kill you, you witch!!!"

"Witch!!!!"

Pitiful and horrifying cries of pain emanated from the Li Family home, instilling fear.

Lu Han stood at the entrance of the Li Family home. He was the closest and the moment the sound echoed out, he shuddered, and goosebumps raised on his skin.
