After five years of being mentally impaired, he cultivated himself into a top-tier SSS-level monstro

The temple wasn't very large; it was located in a nearby tourist area.

The surrounding scenery is pleasant, with lush vegetation and craggy rocks.

Meng Yan remembered this small temple; he had visited it with his family when he was a child, so he knew that it was always crowded during holidays.

However, today was neither a holiday nor a weekend, and the three of them arrived in the early morning, so the place was practically deserted.

Only a few monks living in the temple could be seen sweeping fallen leaves in front of the gate.

You can still see the first rays of the rising sun shining brightly from the distant mountains.

"You know what?" Liu Shengnan pulled Meng Yan and Li Yingxue to sit on a bench in front of the temple gate, looking at the bewildered monks living in the temple: "When I first killed a ruthless bandit, I was completely bewildered, and I felt like I was possessed."

"I happened to pass by here, and it was the morning bell here that cleansed me. Since then, whenever I have something on my mind, I come here."

Liu Shengnan looked at Meng Yan.

The latter touched his nose and didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, Liu Shengnan and Li Yingxue remained silent, the three of them eagerly awaiting the sound of the morning bell from the small temple.

To Meng Yan's utter surprise, they waited all morning, until the elderly people who were exercising started to appear, but they still didn't hear the bell. It wasn't until Liu Shengnan asked the monks living in the temple that she learned the temple's bell was broken.

This left Liu Shengnan extremely frustrated: "What does this mean? Why did the clock have to break today of all days? This is outrageous!"

"Hahaha." Meng Yan stood up and patted Liu Shengnan on the shoulder: "You are about to become a demon but there is still hope, so Buddha will accept you. I have already become a demon, so Buddha will not accept me."

After saying that, Meng Yan turned and left.

"Why……"

Watching his retreating figure, Li Yingxue and Liu Shengnan sighed simultaneously.

To Meng Yan's surprise, his soul was not purified at the small temple, but instead found peace with his wife, Shen Yunbing.

The incident began when Meng Yan returned home that morning and saw his wife standing with her arms crossed in their small courtyard.

Seeing Meng Yan approach, Shen Yunbing pushed open the courtyard gate and went out, saying, "It's good that you're back. Shengnan told me not to think too much and to take your medicine properly."

"Huh?" Meng Yan was taken aback: "What did Liu Shengnan say to you?"

"You had another episode yesterday and got lost. If Shengnan hadn't told me you were with her, I... I would have..."

Shen Yunbing fell silent at this point.

"Oh." Meng Yan nodded and asked, "Did Liu Shengnan say she was stupid?"

"She also said she would take you to hear the morning bell of Longfo Temple, hoping to awaken your soul, but it turned out that the bell in that dilapidated temple was broken." Shen Yunbing said, "But Shengnan is really something. Whether you become a Buddha or a demon is up to you. What does it have to do with a broken bell?"

Shen Yunbing's words were like a wake-up call, making me realize something all at once. Yes, whether I become a Buddha or a demon is up to me; my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

At this moment, Meng Yan completely emerged from the shadow cast by the frenzied killings of the previous night.

There are many theories about the destruction of the Feng family. Some say that the Feng family offended someone, so they were uprooted just like the Meng family a few years ago.

Some say that a remnant of the Meng family swept through the Feng family in revenge.

However, because Meng Yan was wearing a black veil the whole time, no one guessed that this remnant of the Meng family was actually this fool.

That day, as soon as Meng Yan entered the house, he saw his mother-in-law, Feng Xia, put down the phone and say, "Daughter, I just received a call from your second uncle saying that because your grandfather's health hasn't been very good lately, he's decided to hold this year's birthday celebration earlier. Go and make preparations."

"That's right," said Shen Fu, the father-in-law. "This year is different from previous years. Yunbing became the general manager, which is a great achievement. Your grandfather will definitely be impressed when he finds out, so we must prepare a special birthday gift to leave a good impression on him."

"Your grandfather is getting old, and sooner or later he will have to distribute the shares he holds to his descendants. Our family didn't have the opportunity before, but this time we must work hard to get a bigger share."

"Mm." Shen Yunbing nodded. Meanwhile, her mother-in-law, Feng Xia, said to Meng Yan, "You silly boy, you especially need to be careful. Don't embarrass yourself at the old lady's birthday celebration."

"I'm a disgrace. Is it possible that without me, our family wouldn't be where we are today?" Meng Yan said, pointing to his own nose.

"You?" Mother-in-law Feng Xia was speechless upon hearing this, and said sarcastically, "What can a fool like you do? Not to mention that you ran away last night, if our future is handed over to you, we should be grateful if you don't lead it astray."

What was Meng Yan about to say next?

But Shen Yunbing grabbed his arm: "Alright, alright, stop talking, you idiot. You're amazing, you're amazing, okay?"

Then he pulled Meng Yan and walked into the room.

Seeing the young couple arguing, Feng Xia, the mother-in-law, became depressed again and muttered, "What's wrong with Shen Yunbing? I told her not to get too close to the idiot, but it seems like she's getting nicer to him now. Could it be that she's taking this for real? No, I'll have to make arrangements for her after the old man's birthday banquet."

Inside the room, Shen Yunbing was sitting on the bed, biting her lip and deep in thought.

"What's wrong, wife?" Meng Yan asked casually.

"I'm thinking about what birthday gift to bring Grandpa," Shen Yunbing said casually.

"If you ask me, there's no need to send anything. I'll treat Grandpa's illness and give him a few acupuncture treatments; that will be the best birthday gift," Meng Yan said.

"Who will treat Grandpa's illness?" Shen Yunbing asked curiously.

"Me?" Meng Yan said nonchalantly. "What's wrong?"

"You?" Shen Yunbing shook her head and gave a wry smile: "Never mind..."

Then he got up and walked outside, saying as he went, "I'll figure it out myself."

In the end, Shen Yunbing chose two bottles of fine wine as a birthday gift.

In the afternoon, the family of four drove straight to the home of Shen Tianpeng, the head of the Shen family.

……

At the same time, my second uncle's family was also discussing this matter.

"Sigh, I went to see the old man a few days ago and found that his health is really not as good as before. It's possible that he really will have to distribute the shares this time." Uncle Shen Gui said worriedly as he sat on his sofa.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Second Aunt said, "We've been talking about the eldest son and his family a lot in front of the old man these past few years. If the shares are divided, won't our family get the lion's share?"

"Yes, Dad," Shen Lingbing said. "My grandfather has heard countless stories about my cousin and her mentally challenged husband. Add to that my uncle's corruption scandal, and if Grandpa wasn't senile, he wouldn't have given them the majority of the shares."

Upon hearing these words, the second aunt was particularly proud, as if her family had become the actual controllers of the Shen family.

To everyone's surprise, Second Uncle Shen Gui said, "That's not necessarily true."
