Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Underworld King Zhou Pepi, Exceptionally Soft-hearted and Tolerant

Seeing their figures fade away, Li Manning quickly let go of Qin Ruan’s hand and chased after them.

"Xiaobao!!!"

She rushed into emptiness, in the vacant living room, no longer able to see the figures of the two envoys and Xiaobao.

She stared blankly in the direction where Xiaobao had disappeared, her blood-red eyes gradually turning pitch-black, looking like a lost soul, even though she was a puppet.

Qin Ruan took leisurely strides up to Li Manning’s side.

She patted her shoulder and spoke softly: "Don’t look anymore."

Li Manning shook off her hand and turned to stare at Qin Ruan, hostility flickering in her eyes.

"You can’t understand the feeling of being a mother, helplessly watching your child leave!"

Qin Ruan’s gaze was serene and detached, devoid of the innocence that should belong to her age, only filled with desolate indifference.

How couldn’t she understand? How couldn’t she know the bitter pain of it?

Qin Ruan touched her lower abdomen, her voice low and impassive: "Only by sending Xiaobao away, can we usher in a better future."

Li Manning’s face twisted: "What future does he have? Like a puppet, like a demon, what future could he have? He can’t even achieve a good reincarnation! Why is our world so bleak? Why is the world so unfair to us? Why does misfortune befall us?!"

Li Manning emitted a terrifying and desolate aura, her long hair rose without wind, and the furniture in the Qiao family’s living room also slightly trembled.

A sign of her madness was apparent, the suppressed power releasing in this moment.

Qin Ruan formed hand seals, channeling the Nether Power into Li Manning’s soul.

The overwhelming Evil Qi evaporated in an instant, and the living room returned to its calm state again.

Qin Ruan’s eyes coldly stared at Li Manning, her voice chilly and emotionless: "Have you regained your senses?"

Li Manning’s lips tightened, her clenched fists refused to relax, apparently still unable to let go.

Qin Ruan’s dark, deep gaze settled on Li Manning: "There is no fairness or unfairness in your destiny, acceptance or resentment, the consequences had been set long ago. Life is not meant for regret nor can you return to the past to make amends by throwing tantrums.

What you need to be doing now is to change Xiaobao’s future destiny. There are countless others in this world suffering more than you. Why should you solely receive the indulgence of the Netherworld? Have you thought about this?"

Li Manning shook her head softly: "I don’t know."

Qin Ruan’s lips curled upwards: "It’s okay not to know. All you need to remember is this is your last lifeline. Stop killing, even the tremendous amount of virtue and good deeds you’ve accumulated won’t stand against your ravages!"

Li Manning looked up, her expression puzzled and confused as she stared at Qin Ruan, the frenzy from before nowhere to be seen.

"What do you mean by that?"

Qin Ruan asked her: "Who is the most powerful in the Netherworld?"

Li Manning answered straightforwardly: "The Underworld King."

People only know about the Underworld King, few know about the Emperor Beitai in Fengdu, so she isn’t actually wrong in her statement.

Qin Ruan spoke mildly: "Why do you think the Underworld Envoy hasn’t arrested you with more than ten lives on your hands?"

Li Manning frowned, shaking her head again: "I don’t know."

Qin Ruan chuckled lightly: "I don’t know either."

Li Manning’s mouth twitched feeling like Qin Ruan was ridiculing her.

Qin Ruan’s lips curved into a smile, her voice gentle: "While the Underworld King is a bit of a skinflint, he also has a soft spot. He is rather tolerant towards unfair and wronged people.

Once everything in the Human Realm is resolved, no matter where you and Xiaobao are in the Netherworld, be it in Hell or the Puppet Domain, as long as you persevere, the Underworld King might rebuild Xiaobao’s complete soul."

"Really?!"

Her bright and seductive eyes burst forth with dazzling glimmers.

Qin Ruan nodded: "According to my understanding, the chance is very high. It’s up to you whether you want to take a gamble."

"Of course, I’ll take the gamble. Even if my soul disperses, it’s worth it!"

Her loss of control was because Xiaobao lost his complete soul.

Qin Ruan asked: "So, do you still feel that your world is bleak, that everything happening to you is unfair, harboring resentment?"

Li Manning pursed her lips, she still wanted to say it was unfair and unwilling.

Facing Qin Ruan’s smile-tinged eyes, she didn’t want to retort.

How could Qin Ruan not make out her thoughts: "As I see it, everything you encountered in this life had already been fated. The moment you chose not to resist your parents, a tragic ending was inevitable. Everything has its predestined cause and effect."

Li Manning opened her mouth but then slowly closed it.

She’s already dead, what else could she say?

It was not that she didn’t want to resist, but facing her parents, she was always hesitant.

But when all was said and done, it was all a farce, making her filial piety seem laughable.

Li Manning’s soul seemed to be cleansed, the black fog wrapped around her soul drifted away and disappeared in the void.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan’s eyes showed a hint of relief: "After your death, you’re indulged by the Netherworld and met me, I am not boasting when I say this is your rebirth, don’t let your past sorrow and oppressed life influence your present anymore."

Li Manning’s tight lips relaxed, curling into a light curve: "Except for Xiaobao, I have nothing else to worry about now."

Qin Ruan smiled, turned around, and searched around the hall for Qiao Nanyuan’s figure.

After a while, she saw three faces peeking from behind the sofa.

Qiao Nanyuan, Qiao Jiu, and Lin Hao squatted behind the sofa, watching Qin Ruan and Li Manning with wide eyes.

Three pairs of eyes were unblinkingly fixed on them; if it wasn’t for their pupils glancing around, Qin Ruan might’ve thought something happened to them.

Qin Ruan had a helpless expression on her face: "Uncle Qiao, what are you doing?"

She could understand why Qiao Jiu and Lin Hao hid behind the sofa, but Qiao Nanyuan following suit felt off-putting.

"Ahem..." Qiao Nanyuan stood upright, coughing awkwardly.

He patted Qiao Jiu’s head: "It’s all because of this girl. She was afraid that the Underworld Envoy would take me away and dragged me to hide."

Qiao Jiu nodded energetically in agreement.

Qin Ruan smiled without uttering a word, her gaze landed on Lin Hao: "Brother Hao, what about you?"

Lin Hao clutched his chest, looking at Qin Ruan with a piteous gaze, nearly shouting: "Qin Xiaowu, if something happens to me today, I won’t let you off the hook even if I become a puppet."

Qin Ruan looked amused: "Are you saying that you’ve already had enough of being a human and want to become a puppet?"

Lin Hao clutched his chest and, with long strides, slouched on the couch.

Like a dead dog, he sounded feeble: "Don’t joke around, I feel like I’m dreaming!"

Qin Ruan could understand his feelings about seeing a puppet and an Underworld Envoy in one day, so she decided not to tease him anymore.

"Open all the curtains?"

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it!!!"

Qiao Jiu, with a cheerful stride, went to open all the curtains.

Qin Ruan wasn’t idle either, she opened the nearest curtain.

Warm sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a soft glow in the enormous hall, the cold and gloomy feel banished in the sunlight.

Li Manning’s soul stood in the sunlight, creating a warm sensation around her.
