Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Hell’s River of Blood Twin Flowers, Endless Torture

Xiaoguang and Shao Qiao first met this year.

At the beginning of the year, Xiaoguang had just arrived at Capital City and, due to a mix of circumstances, met Shao Qiao at Zhenpin Pavilion.

Knowing the power behind Zhenpin Pavilion, he initially did nothing, secretly planning to free Shao Qiao, even enlisting the help of his uncle.

Xiaoguang’s uncle had some connections with the Nangong Family. He had everything prepared but was shocked to receive news of Shao Qiao’s impending death.

She had jumped from a building and greatly damaged her spleen and liver.

Years spent in the darkness of Zhenpin Pavilion had taken a toll on her health.

Even so, Xiaoguang took her away.

At that time, Shao Qiao did not know Xiaoguang was a Puppet.

She only knew him as the person who saved her from a burning building.

He cared for her using Lou Hong’s body. Shao Qiao, dizzy with luck, discovered one night that Xiaoguang and Lou Hong were different people.

She saw with her own eyes Xiaoguang exiting Lou Hong’s body.

A man and a puppet stood before her, yet she felt no fear.

At that time, Shao Qiao had little time left to live.

Her life had to be sustained by expensive medicines and high-end equipment.

Xiaoguang did many things to keep her alive.

He dealt with shady forces, earning more money and in the process, hurt and even killed many people.

He even captured five puppets, drawing their Puppet Power to prolong Shao Qiao’s life.

During this time, they developed an intimate relationship.

The union of a human and a puppet bore a child that was neither human nor puppet.

Shao Qiao was pregnant.

She was too weak to carry the child to term.

Faced with the impending arrival of their child, they did not want to give up but were cornered.

If they could enter the Netherworld and rely on the pure Dark Evil Energy, it would be sufficient to protect the child in her womb.

However, because of their deeds, they could not be escorted to the Netherworld by the Underworld Envoy. After their death, they would need to wait hundreds of years to enter the Netherworld.

It was not until a few months ago that Xiaoguang learned from his uncle about Qin Ruan.

She engaged with puppets, even capable of sending them to the Netherworld for reincarnation.

Xiaoguang began to pay attention to Qin Ruan, discovering her past encounters with Huang Biao and learning from Huang Biao’s close associates about his relentless longing for Qin Ruan.

What followed, Qin Ruan knew all too well.

From beginning to end, Xiaoguang and Shao Qiao orchestrated a grand performance, just waiting for her to walk into their trap.

It had to be said that Xiaoguang and Shao Qiao were incredibly bold.

If any part of their plan failed, they would face a fate worse than death.

After listening to Shao Qiao’s story, Qin Ruan sighed inwardly, but her face remained impassive: "Who is Xiaoguang’s uncle?"

Shao Qiao frowned, "An Elder from the Yin Yang Sect, known as Xu the Real Man. Xiaoguang was his weapon of slaughter. Xu the Real Man is dead now, removed from the sect. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been living so peacefully these past few months."

Saying this, her face was filled with resentment.

The Yin Yang Sect’s approach of refining disciples into weapons was indeed in line with its modus operandi.

Qin Ruan was quite familiar with this sect.

The dark path of Elder Xu, the fact that the Yin Yang Sect shattered his life plate, all revealed the limitless depravity of this sect.

Qin Ruan released a light black mist from her hand towards Shao Qiao.

The black mist slowly began to take shape, and Xiaoguang’s weak figure appeared.

Qin Ruan rose to her feet and looked down upon the two puppets.

Xiaoguang’s weak soul, protectively holding Shao Qiao, watched Qin Ruan nervously.

Qin Ruan’s gaze fell on Shao Qiao’s belly, her voice cold and ruthless: "You’ve done too many evil things. Even if you enter the Netherworld, you can’t reincarnate."

Shao Qiao panicked: "You clearly said otherwise before! You promised to send us to reincarnate."

Qin Ruan laughed scornfully: "If I were to send you to reincarnate, wouldn’t that be unfair to the innocent people you’ve killed? You don’t cherish life yet dream of reincarnation—it’s pure fantasy!"

In order to enter the Netherworld, Shao Qiao had to commit suicide.

She touched her barely noticeable baby bump, her voice choked with emotion: "My child is innocent."

"It simply should not exist," Qin Ruan replied coldly, without a shred of sympathy.

More rational, Xiaoguang asked in a grave voice: "What do you propose?"

Without Evil Qi, his spirit was both weak and harmless.

If Qin Ruan wanted to kill him, she could do so easily.

Qin Ruan, looking down, spoke in an emotionless voice: "There is a flower called Twinflower in the River of Blood in Hell in the Netherworld. You can transform into a Twinflower to atone for your sins."

"Twinflower?!" Xiaoguang gasped, his eyes filled with fear and revulsion.

Legend has it that in the River of Blood in Hell in the Netherworld, there is a flower called Twinflower, a single plant bearing two bright flowers.

The two flowers on one stalk love and fight each other, never ceasing their struggle.

They express their profound love and hate for each other with the deepest wounds until death.

Their struggle ends when they are willing to kill each other. When one dies, the other also wilts quietly.

This flower, blooming in Hell, represents redemption, pain, and endless torture.

Shao Qiao did not understand these myths, but Xiaoguang, having been raised in the Yin Yang Sect, was familiar with these legends.

Xiaoguang held Shao Qiao, his face crumbling with despair.

"I don’t want to, I can’t love and kill Shao Qiao, I can’t do it!"

Qin Ruan coldly interrogated, "Did the people you killed also say they didn’t want to? Did you spare them?"

Speechless, Xiaoguang’s lips pressed into a thin line.

He did not give those people a chance to plead.

Qin Ruan suppressed her dangerous gaze and spoke solemnly: "A hundred years. If you can survive a hundred years, there will be a slim chance for you to reincarnate. This is your only chance at life.

Or would you prefer that I turn you into a trace of ethereal, unnoticeable waste in this world?"

Shao Qiao, clutching Xiaoguang’s hand, hurriedly shouted, "No!"

She didn’t want to be separated from Xiaoguang.

But Xiaoguang did not agree; he was greedier than Shao Qiao.

His accusing gaze locked on Qin Ruan: "We’ve only just been together for a short while. Why can you sympathize with other evil spirits, but not give us a break?!"

Qin Ruan laughed coldly, her dark eyes piercing Xiaoguang: "A mistake is a mistake. You all need to pay the price for your actions."

What she did not tell Xiaoguang was that, because of the child in Shao Qiao’s stomach, she had already given them a break.

Otherwise, these two puppets would have been annihilated long ago.

Regardless of Xiaoguang and Shao Qiao’s will.

They were ultimately to be taken away by an Underworld Envoy.

Except this time, they were to go to the River of Blood in Hell where countless souls were buried, where they would atone and suffer for a hundred years.

As the Underworld Envoy took them away, Xiaoguang suddenly turned back.

Protectively holding Shao Qiao in his arms, he looked at Qin Ruan with complex feelings.

"Before I leave, I’ll leave you with a piece of advice: the Mortal World is not as peaceful as you think."

Qin Ruan’s calm gaze remained unmoved.

She naturally knew that the world’s evil spirits were lurking in the dark, stirring restlessly, seeking to rise above the human race.

Otherwise, the Underworld King wouldn’t have bestowed upon her the ability to harvest evil spirits.
