Chapter 574: Chapter 574: The Gentleness Hidden in Ruanruan’s Bones

Sister Xiaoguang seemed calm, free of any resentment or anger.

Her frail, tormented body no longer had any connection to her.

Her previous rage largely stemmed from her inability to reincarnate, and her indignation at being reduced to a murderous tool.

Seeing that his sister didn’t seem to mind, Xiaoguang continued to address Qin Ruan, "Everything my sister has suffered was caused entirely by Huang Mao. I invaded his dreams, disguised myself as my sister to scare him.

Huang Mao, having been scared, lost his sanity. In revenge, I used Puppet Power to kill him.

Then I staged it to look like he had taken his own life by jumping off a building. We planned to deliver his spirit to Lou Hong, turning him into the same weapon as us.

If you had arrived two days later, Huang Mao would have ended up just like us. As for Huang Biao, Lou Hong wanted his life..."

After Xiaoguang finished explaining, Qin Ruan’s red lips curled in a cold curve.

There’s no denying that Xiaoguang and his sister’s situation evoked sympathy.

However, it didn’t mean they were innocent.

A subtle chill emanated from Qin Ruan’s cool demeanor as she remarked, "Huang Mao committed countless wrongs. After entering the Underworld, he wouldn’t be able to avoid torment in purgatory."

Xiaoguang’s face hardened, filled with resentment as he spat, "Even better. It’s just a shame he had an easy death!"

Qin Ruan’s voice softened as she continued, "But you shouldn’t have taken his life. Everyone’s life and death have set and variable parts. Doing evil shortens one’s lifespan, even if you hadn’t acted, he wouldn’t have been able to escape death."

She looked like a true ruler over life and death, exuding an air of superiority, casting her gaze down upon living beings.

The formidable aura surrounding her left people with no choice but to lower their heads in her presence.

Although Xiaoguang was filled with awe, he didn’t regret his actions one bit.

"Even so, nothing beats the satisfaction of personally avenging myself!"

The anger, resentment, and unrepentant expression on his face were clearly witnessed by Qin Ruan.

At that moment, she felt a sense of empathy.

Indeed, even knowing that an enemy would ultimately face death didn’t equate to the sheer satisfaction of personally avenging oneself.

Qin Ruan curved her lips in a graceful arc, "Who is this Lou Hong? I want to know his exact identity."

She only knew him as a Taoist, someone who could manipulate spirits and turn puppets into weapons of slaughter.

Such a man was certainly not benevolent in nature.

The eyes of Xiaoguang and his sister revealed fear and resentment when they heard Lou Hong’s name.

It seemed like the puppet siblings were genuinely afraid of him.

Xiaoguang explained with a tense voice, "Lou Hong is a young man who probably has been in the Capital City not long. Everything he has been doing is with the aim of infiltrating the gray areas of power of the city."

"He is ruthless and has more than one willing killer under his command. In the months I’ve worked for him, I’ve helped him with many situations, most of which involved removing obstacles in his path.

This time, Huang Biao was also seen as an obstacle to his rise to power and was sent to us. They wanted us to get rid of him slickly, ideally without raising any doubts over his death."

Qin Ruan gave a slight nod.

This confirmed that even Huang Biao had connections with Lou Hong.

Finding Lou Hong wouldn’t be difficult.

This man had sinister intentions, using manipulated spirits for his nefarious purposes. He had already began disrupting the balance of the Mortal World.

As long as it was related to evil, and disturbed the order of the Mortal World, Qin Ruan knew she had no choice but to intervene.

Lou Hong, she decided, must be obliterated.

And the spirits under his control, to be retrieved.

Hopefully, the malicious spirits would provide enough Evil Qi to compensate for her efforts.

Qin Ruan turned to Xiaoguang, asking in a serious tone, "Do all the spirits he controls come from the Zhenpin Pavilion?"

Xiaoguang shook his head, "Only my sister and I do. We don’t know where the others came from."

Qin Ruan:"Do you know how many there are? "

Xiaoguang:"Excluding my sister and me, probably four or five more. Those puppets are fiercer than us."

Four or five... even more brutal than Xiaoguang’s sister and himself.

Wouldn’t their Evil Qi levels be even higher?

A hint of a smile flashed in Qin Ruan’s eyes.

She was getting closer to achieving her goal.

She needed to collect enough Evil Qi to sustain her until she delivered and completed her confinement.

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, tenderly stroking her swelling belly.

Her innocent and charming disposition relaxed, emanating gentle allure.

Xiaoguang and his sister couldn’t help but be awestruck by her beauty and charisma.

Her swelling belly indicated that she was pregnant, likely close to birth.

Yet she appeared younger than both of them.

Although she seemed young, her aura projected calm maturity.

She displayed no impatience or arrogance. Her eyes exuded a sense of disdain for all living beings, despite maintaining a cold demeanor that kept people at arm’s length, exerting an immense pressure.

Yet when interacting, she managed to project a sense of warmth.

This conflicting aura felt natural, as though it was innate.

Respect for Qin Ruan emanated from her aura.

It wasn’t just her power that was impressive, but the aura of authority that she radiated and the gentleness that was deeply ingrained in her.

At this time, the puppet siblings failed to recognize this sense of kinship.

Qin Ruan was a Demi-Goddess of the Netherworld. If she were to show affinity for someone, her aura would naturally make them feel close to her.

Under the gaze of the puppet siblings, Qin Ruan raised her eyes.

She asked the two Puppets in an indifferent voice, "Do you have anything else to report?"

Xiaoguang and his sister shook their heads, "No more."

Qin Ruan nodded, her voice calm as it spilled from her red lips.

"Lou Hong. I’ll go find him myself. Would you two prefer to enter the Netherworld directly, or come with me to find him?"

Xiaoguang:"We don’t want to go back!"

Sister Xiaoguang: "If he knew we had betrayed him, Xiaoguang and I would be in great danger."

The fear in Xiaoguang’s eyes was even more terrifying than when he had faced Qin Ruan.

Sister Xiaoguang’s reaction was even more dramatic.

Her spirit was shaking as she warned Qin Ruan, "Lou Hong is a demon. I know you’re strong, but unless you’re absolutely certain of victory, it’s better not to provoke him!"

Qin Ruan casually laughed, a smile curled at the corners of her mouth, but her eyes revealed no trace of fear.

"The more you say this, the more curious I am about him. Just who is this man who’s even more terrifying than a wicked being?"

Despite the smile on her face, her eyes radiated a sinister glow.

"Hiss!"

A raspy groan of pain sounded behind her.

Qin Ruan turned to look.

Lin Hao, lying on the ground, with his eyes tightly closed, held his head in his hands with a pained expression distorting his face.

He was about to wake up.

Qin Ruan turned to the puppet siblings and asked again, "Are you sure there is nothing else to report?"

"No more—"

Xiaoguang and his sister responded in unison.

Qin Ruan spoke sternly, "Very well, you should disclose anything you need to while you can. Keep in mind that even if I send you to the Netherworld, if I discover anything afterwards, I can bring you back."

Her words clearly pointed to her close relationship with the Netherworld.

Xiaoguang realized that he was increasingly curious to know who this woman was.

Just who was she?

How could she possess such abilities?
