Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Mother’s Love Never Ceases, Family Ties Last a Lifetime

Qin Ruan’s expression darkened slightly, a profound light flashed through her pupils.

She spoke solemnly to Li Manning, "He will forever be a killing weapon controlled by the evil path, until he loses his usefulness, his soul scatters, and he completely disappears from the world; there will be no trace of his existence in the six realms."

Even if given another chance, she would still kill Xiaobao who had been transformed into an evil spirit.

Li Manning slumped to the ground, holding Xiaobao tightly, her expression lost yet calm.

This calm before the storm gave Qin Ruan an uneasy feeling.

The little puppet sobbed twice, then extended his hand to touch the bloodless wound on Li Manning’s neck.

His tiny fingers were still poking at the hole in the wound, like a curious baby.

Li Manning seemed to feel no pain, her eyes staring fixedly in one direction, her bloody eyes brewing a stormy undercurrent.

Qin Ruan asked softly, "What do you want to do?"

Li Manning lifted her bloodshot eyes, her pale face exuding a chill as if ready to engulf everything.

Her voice was cold, "Find the person who harmed Xiaobao and kill him!"

Qin Ruan replied calmly, "He is already dead."

Hugging Xiaobao tightly, Li Manning’s expression turned wild, "Not enough, it’s not enough! I need his soul to scatter!"

A slight tremor stirred in Qin Ruan’s heart. Seeing Li Manning like this, she had a sense of déjà vu: "Xiaobao has lost his soul and spirit. Even if he reincarnates in his next life, he cannot be a normal person. The bond between you mother and son in this life has come to an end."

Li Manning stubbornly responded, "Then I will refuse to reincarnate. I will stay with him forever, even if it means falling into Hell!"

Qin Ruan sighed softly, "Is it worth it?"

Li Manning gently stroked Xiaobao’s head, her movements affectionate and cherished, "You can’t understand if you don’t have kids. I want to give Xiaobao so much, and I couldn’t fulfill him while living. Now after death, motherly love needs to be repaid to him. This is what I owe him."

Mother’s love is life-long, and family ties last a lifetime.

Even if it’s only two years of mother and son affection, it’s enough to drive Li Manning madly.

Qin Ruan couldn’t tell her that she sympathizes with this mother’s love.

In her previous life, she nearly went mad when she lost her child.

Such feeling of helplessness made her crumble and darkened her world, she could only grieve for the rest of her life.

For Li Manning’s choice, Qin Ruan wouldn’t stop her, nor would she let her be.

Sheee took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Li Manning, the reason you were able to remain in the mortal world is that the Netherworld took pity on your present life’s suffering and gave you an opportunity. You will eventually have to return to the Netherworld.

I hope you go back soon, and bring back all the souls you have harvested along. Their fate is entangled with yours. If they linger in the mortal world for too long, it will affect the normal order of the Netherworld and the mortal world."

With her eyes lowered, Li Manning looked at Xiaobao’s foolish form and nodded at Qin Ruan, "Alright, I’ll enter the Netherworld. I want to personally kill that evil path myself!"

Qin Ruan regretfully had to tell her, "I’m afraid I can’t grant your wish. Some time ago during the Hungry Ghost Festival, a Taoist named Wu escaped from Hell, and the Underworld Envoys from the Netherworld are looking for him everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Li Manning immediately refused, "Then I can’t enter the Netherworld. He has made Xiaobao like this, I want to kill him with my own hands!"

How can she tolerate seeing her enemy getting off scot-free?

A slight smile emerged on Qin Ruan’s face, "So, you mean you want to find Master Wu in the mortal world?"

Li Manning nodded hard, "Yes!"

Qin Ruan laughed, "The Underworld Envoy can’t find Master Wu, what makes you confident you will be able to?"

Touching Xiaobao’s head, Li Manning spoke with determination, "The Underworld Envoy couldn’t locate him, then I can’t put my hopes on them anymore. Even if it means digging three feet underground, I will drag that evil path out!"

"If you can find Master Wu’s soul, that would be great. Now that your son Xiaobao has been found, shouldn’t you deal with the other trouble?"

Qin Ruan pointed to the two Underworld Envoys not far away, and said to Li Manning, "While the envoys from the netherworld are here, those souls detained in the coroner’s office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau should also be sent to where they ought to go."

Li Manning’s lips curled up in sarcasm, she regretfully said, "Such a pity, they really got off easily!"

Her words made it clear what she intended to do next.

Qin Ruan squinted slightly, "Can you tell me, without sending them away, what you plan to do next?"

Without even thinking, Li Manning said, "Of course, to enjoy the thrill of torturing them. Let them taste the experience of being oppressed and living in fear all day. Isn’t this what they did to me when they were alive?"

"Clap, clap, clap ..." Qin Ruan clapped for her, "A good idea, but you forgot one thing."

Looking at Li Manning’s confused expression, Qin Ruan said in a deep voice, "All these souls being held in the Criminal Investigation Bureau are having effects on the other people around them. Ordinary people, when they are affected by puppet energy, will suffer from illness in light cases, and death in severe cases. Your resentment shouldn’t involve innocent people. It will add to your sins. My suggestion for you is to temporarily let go of your grudges with them. After you enter the Netherworld, you can settle your grievances."

"Alright!" Li Manning agreed without hesitation.

Her current task is to find the evil path who has caused Xiaobao to lose his soul and spirit, and make him pay a heavy price.

Qin Ruan turned around and spoke politely to the two Underworld Envoys, "Since the two of you are here already, could you do me a favor and take away those souls at the Criminal Investigation Bureau as well?"

"A task we can certainly handle." The envoy on the left nodded, and pointed to the little puppet in Li Manning’s arms, "We also need to take it with us. All the souls in the Netherworld are recorded. If one is missing, and it is discovered by those above us, my brother and I will both be punished."

Qin Ruan nodded, "That is reasonable."

"No, you can’t take Xiaobao away, you can’t!" Li Manning held Xiaobao tightly and refused to let go.

Qin Ruan knew she wouldn’t let go easily.

She also sympathizes with Li Manning’s ordeal, but sympathy is one thing, it must not involve innocent persons.

Qin Ruan approached her, looked down at her judgementally, "I can understand your feelings towards Xiaobao, but it doesn’t mean you can get special privileges from me. The mortal world has its own laws, the Netherworld has its own rules. You can’t break them just because you want to. Everything has its limits, don’t push the boundaries."

Li Manning knew she had received much special treatment, but she had just been reunited with Xiaobao and couldn’t bear to let go.

She bowed her head and hugged Xiaobao tightly.

This stubborn action angered the two Netherworld Envoys.

"Don’t just think of making things difficult for us. What you’re doing also affects the little puppet. Once it is discovered that it was summoned to the mortal world by you, all three of us will face punishment. I advise you to let go while you still can!"

Li Manning’s face was full of reluctance and grief. Her pleading eyes turned to Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan gave a light sigh.

She believed that Li Manning knew what the right choice was.

But knowing isn’t always the same as being able to do. She just needed someone to help her.

Qin Ruan stepped forward, forcefully pulling Li Manning’s hands away, pulling Xiaobao out of her arms and handing him over to the envoys.

Just like this, under the watchful eyes of everyone and Li Manning, the two envoys slowly disappeared from their sight.
