Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 257 Shemale has a different path

A shower of pink petals instantly enveloped Ren Wenhan. In that instant when her vision was obscured by the petals, Ren Wenhan saw Lian Duo standing in front of her, her chest pierced by the evil spirit, and Lian Duo's petals also engulfing the evil spirit.

"Mom! Mom! Are you alright?" Ren Wenhan anxiously pounded on the petals that protected her like an eggshell. After about two or three minutes, the hard, iron-like petal armor slowly crumbled, and the pink petals fell one after another. The evil spirits had disappeared. Ren Wenhan saw Lian Duo clutch her chest and collapse.

"Mom!!!" Ren Wenhan exclaimed in surprise, and quickly helped Lian Duo up. Ren Chi also ran over.

Lian Duo had a bloody hole in her chest, from which blood kept flowing. Ren Wenhan frantically took off her coat to help stop the bleeding, but it was obviously useless. The blood quickly soaked Lian Duo's white coat. The demon race had a strong ability to recover, but Lian Duo's wound showed no signs of healing.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Ren Wenhan cried uncontrollably, shaking her head in despair.

"Hanhan." Lianduo coughed twice and tried to smile at Ren Wenhan. "Hanhan, Mom loves you. I have never regretted giving birth to you or being with your father. Don't believe what those ghosts say. Not a single word a ghost says is credible. That's how ghost stories come about. I only regret leaving your aunt alone in Huaiqing City and leaving her with all the responsibilities that I should have borne. Mom was too selfish."

Lian Duo looked in the direction from which the scent of lotus leaves was coming. "It's a pity I won't be able to see your aunt." Ever since Lian Ye forbade her from being with Ren Chi, who was human, twenty-five years ago, and the two had a falling out, they had never seen each other again. She defied the laws of nature to have a child, and was prepared for her lifespan to be shortened. Of all the years she had lived, these past twenty years had been the happiest time of her life. Only in these past twenty years did she feel that she was truly alive.

She was prepared to accept death. In her life, she had tasted love, had a beloved lover, and a dear daughter. She felt that was enough. Even if there were some regrets, she was content to put an end to her long life at this moment. The only person she felt sorry for was Lianye, who was now alone in Huaiqing City.

Years ago, the demons who had received the favor of the Weapon Birds united to seek a glimmer of hope for the Weapon Birds. The demons also lived in this town incognito, protecting the town and the Weapon Birds. But as time passed, many demons could not resist the temptations and became lost in the mortal world, leaving one after another until only the two sisters remained.

People say that twin flowers, two blossoms on one stem, always bloom in opposite directions. But as their flowering season draws to a close, the two flowers twist their stems with all their might, and in the instant they wither, they finally face each other for the only time. It's not wrong to say that after they became spirits, they separated from their original forms and split into two independent individuals. But their personalities are completely opposite. Even after becoming spirits, they rarely see each other, just like when they were twins on one stem.

The two sisters, one by day and one by night, silently guarded Huaiqing City, which made the city relatively peaceful. She never expected that one day she would meet Ren Chi, the one who would make her give up everything.

Lianye was afraid that she would be let down, because humans and demons are different, and there are many examples of demons where love between people of different races always ends in tragedy.

But she felt that Lianye didn't understand her. She had lived for thousands of years and felt that she was just living, and that her life was meaningless. For the first time, she fell in love with someone and felt that there was light in the world. For this light, she gave up everything. Looking back, she realized that she had been protected too well by Lianye and that she was too love-struck. Although she and Ren Chi had been in love for more than 20 years, Lianye's worries were not wrong. She shouldn't have lost her temper and fallen out with Lianye.

At first, she thought about going back to apologize to Lianye, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Later, she sensed that the five signs of decay were getting closer and closer to her, and that her time was coming to an end. She and Lianye had been relying on each other for thousands of years.

From the moment they were just ordinary flowers, they had never been apart. She would rather Lotus Leaf be angry at her for disobeying her than let Lotus Leaf grieve for her death, so she didn't go back to find Lotus Leaf. But she never expected that Lotus Leaf knew her time was coming to an end, and even used a thousand years of cultivation to save her at the very moment she was about to die. The person she felt most sorry for in her life was Lotus Leaf, but now it seemed she would never have the chance to say sorry to Lotus Leaf. Lotus Flower looked at her hand, which was slowly dissipating.

Ren Wenhan and Ren Chi naturally saw the light spots floating on Lian Duo's body. Having read Lian Duo's novel, they knew what this was.

"Hanhan, please say sorry to your aunt for me. I was too selfish. I know I was wrong. This time, I, as your younger sister, have to go first." Lianduo smiled gently, but tears still slowly streamed down her cheeks. She really couldn't bear to leave this world, couldn't bear to leave Ren Chi, couldn't bear to leave her daughter Ren Wenhan, and even more so, couldn't bear to leave Lianye, whom she hadn't seen for more than 20 years. But now there really was no chance.

"Mom! No, no, Auntie will save you. I'll go get Auntie, I'll go get Auntie."

Lian Duo stopped her, "It's too late, Hanhan. I'll tell you how to get out of the barrier. You and your father take your people out and don't distract your aunt."

The breaking of the seal by the Weapon Bird Clan was something Lian Ye had never expected. Therefore, Lian Ye could only activate the barrier to prevent the Weapon Birds from leaving the town and to prevent the evil spirits here from escaping and harming the human world. By a twist of fate, Ren Wenhan and the others were left inside the barrier. Lian Ye had to stabilize the barrier and guard against the numerous evil spirits, so she had no time to send them out of the barrier. Who could have set up another barrier inside the barrier to protect them? After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place. However, Lian Ye underestimated the evil spirits' ability to bewitch people.

If Ren Wenhan and the others leave, under the protection of the barrier, those evil spirits will be unable to harm Lianye. On the contrary, they will make Lianye feel restricted and constrained here.

As Lianduo spoke, her hands became transparent.

"Wife!" Ren Chi cried out in anguish.

Lian Duo turned to look at him, gently stroked his face, and smiled, "Achi, I have never regretted meeting you and marrying you in this life."

More and more points of light emanated from Lian Duo's body, and Ren Chi burst into tears, tightly holding Lian Duo's hand.

Yang Nianqing and the others had already arrived and were silently watching them.

Humans and demons are destined to be apart; is love between people of different races doomed to a bad ending?
