"Alright." Ling Chi smiled slightly. "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be back to normal in two months."

Lu Wushuang looked at him and blinked, "Thank you, big brother."

so cute.

"You're welcome." Patting the little girl's head, Ling Chi smiled and asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Upon hearing the word 'home,' Lu Wushuang burst into tears: 'My...my family was all killed.' Turning to look at Li Mochou, who stood frozen in place, her eyes were filled with hatred: 'She killed them.'

"Oh?" Turning his head to look at Li Mochou, and seeing her unpleasant expression, Ling Chi asked, "Do you want revenge?"

"Yes." Lu Wushuang nodded vigorously.

"Then report it!" Ling Chi pulled a kitchen knife from his waist: "Come on, use this knife to kill her."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou was filled with terror and cold sweat. Unfortunately, she had been silenced by acupressure and could not make a sound to express her fear.

Supported by Shuang'er, Lu Wushuang walked up to Li Mochou, the kitchen knife in her hand weighing more than a thousand pounds.

Although Lu Wushuang was born into a martial arts family and had learned some martial arts, he had never actually seen blood. He shouted slogans of fighting and killing, but when it came to actually killing someone, he found that he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Murder... she dared not.

……

"Can't you bring yourself to do it?" Ling Chi asked.

Lu Wushuang's small hand holding the kitchen knife trembled incessantly, but she couldn't lift it.

"..."

Ling Chi smiled slightly, put the kitchen knife away, and said, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, then don't. It's not good for a child to kill someone."

Lu Wushuang burst into tears.

Shuang'er held her and gently comforted her.

Ling Chi looked at Li Mochou, and seeing that she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled faintly and said, "Li Mochou, when you were killing people, did you ever think that you would one day be killed yourself?"

Li Mochou's heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again, and her eyes were filled with terror once more. She knew that her life and death were still in someone else's hands, but when faced with Ling Chi's questioning, she hardened her heart and her eyes showed a hint of madness.

"..."

Ling Chi shook his head. This Li Mochou was useless; it would be better to delete the account and start over.

"Shuang'er, take Wushuang home first. I'll come over after I've finished dealing with things here," Ling Chi said.

Shuang'er nodded, picked up Lu Wushuang, asked for directions, and then sped off towards Lu Family Village.

Shuang'er's speed is in no way inferior to Ling Chi's.

"Alright." Ling Chi looked at Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo, released their speech pressure points, and asked, "Any last words?"

Hong Lingbo completely broke down: "Don't kill me, I don't want to die... Waaah..."

"..."

Must a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl wither before she even blossoms? I once had dreams…

Ling Chi silenced her by pressing her pressure point, then turned to look at Li Mochou and laughed, "And you? Don't you want to die either?"

The excessive fear did not drive Li Mochou mad or cause her to go into shock. Instead, it calmed her down, and she reviewed her life in a flash, and couldn't help but laugh at herself and shed tears: What have I done all these years?

"No last words?" Ling Chi raised the kitchen knife.

"Wait!" Li Mochou stopped crying and said, "Before I die, I want to see my junior sister one last time."

"Oh?"

……

Several days later, at Zhongnan Mountain.

That day, Little Dragon Girl had just finished practicing her swordsmanship when Granny Sun told her to take a bath and then have a meal.

"understood."

Little Dragon Girl went to a stone chamber to bathe and change clothes. Soon after, she emerged from the water like a lotus flower, as beautiful as a fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.

Half an hour later, Xiaolongnu came to the dining table to eat. The food prepared by Granny Sun was very simple and rough, but she was used to it and was not picky.

Just as she picked up her bowl and chopsticks, about to eat, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the ancient tomb: "Junior sister, I'm back. May I come out and see you?"

Little Dragon Girl paused, looked at Granny Sun, and asked, "Should I go see her?"

Grandma Sun didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so she didn't express her opinion: "It's fine for the young lady to decide for herself."

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiaolongnu heard the person calling out repeatedly, his voice gradually becoming hoarse. She couldn't help but feel compassion and stood up, saying, "Let's meet him! As long as he doesn't leave the ancient tomb, it's fine."

Grandma Sun nodded and said, "It's fine if the young lady makes the decision."

Soon, Xiaolongnu appeared behind the stone gate of the ancient tomb. Facing the person calling her, she said in a cold tone, "Senior sister has been expelled from the sect, why come back?"

Chapter Three: Little Dragon Girl

Hearing Xiaolongnu's voice, a hint of tenderness and reminiscence flashed in Li Mochou's eyes. The little girl who used to follow her around has grown up!

"Junior sister, how have you been these past years?"

Hearing her senior sister's gentle words, Xiaolongnu remained silent for a moment before saying softly, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, I've just grown up a bit."

"Yes! You've grown up." Li Mochou smiled slightly, "and you must be even more beautiful now."

"..." Little Dragon Girl asked, "Senior Sister, did you come back just to catch up with me?"

"I guess so!" Li Mochou said softly, "I also want to see the place where I lived."

"Have you finished watching it?" Little Dragon Girl wasn't used to this kind of awkward conversation.

"..." Li Mochou sighed, "It's a pity I can't see my master one last time."

"If it weren't for you, how could Master have suffered such a terrible fate?" Little Dragon Girl's voice rose a few decibels, carrying a hint of coldness: "Why pretend to be sympathetic now?"

“Yes!” Li Mochou said sadly, “It’s all my fault. I’m to blame for not listening to my master. That’s why I hurt my master and myself.”

"If you have nothing else to say, please leave! The Ancient Tomb Sect does not welcome you."

"..." Li Mochou's face was full of bitterness: "Then... junior sister, take care. In the next life... I hope we can still be sisters."

Xiaolongnu frowned, feeling that her senior sister was acting strangely today, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, Granny Sun, who was standing nearby, sensed the farewell in Li Mochou's words and exclaimed, "Miss, Li Mochou is probably going to die!"

"!?!" Little Dragon Girl exclaimed in astonishment, "Wasn't Senior Sister perfectly fine? How could she be dead?"

Granny Sun smiled bitterly: "Young lady, you grew up in the ancient tomb and are ignorant of the ways of the world, so you naturally don't know the reasons behind this. But listen to this old woman's advice, whatever you do, don't let her leave, otherwise, the outcome will be very bad."

"..."

……

Outside the ancient tomb, Li Mochou silently walked to the edge of the woods a hundred meters away, where she saw Ling Chi roasting a chicken. The roasted chicken was emitting a rich aroma, and Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo were sitting next to him, swallowing their saliva.

"..."

"You're back so soon?" Ling Chi twirled the wooden frame with the pheasant in his hand, casually sprinkling some cumin powder, chili powder, and then brushing on some minced garlic, making it smell even better. Even Li Mochou swallowed her saliva.

Ling Chi said, "You can chat a little longer."

Li Mochou shook her head: "I've said everything I need to say, you can make your move now."

“Heh…” Ling Chi chuckled: “In all my years, this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone who wants to die quickly.”

"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?" Li Mochou's expression was somber yet somewhat composed: "I loved the wrong person in this life, killed many people, and ultimately harmed myself. This life is enough for me."

Ling Chi looked at her and nodded slightly: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."

"..." Li Mochou was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

“…” Ling Chi shook his head: “If you understand, you understand; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. There’s no need to force it.”

"..." Li Mochou nodded: "I don't understand."

"..." Ling Chi's lips twitched: "If you don't understand, you don't understand!"

Touching my chin, I still feel like there was some inexplicable malice just now, but I don't know where it came from.

"Brother, I found some mushrooms and wild vegetables." Shuang'er came out of the woods, carrying a bamboo basket filled with fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ling Chi nodded with a smile.

Lu Wushuang also said, "Sister Shuang'er, you've worked hard."

"It's not hard work." Shuang'er smiled slightly and took out a kind of wild vegetable from the bamboo basket: "Brother, I've never seen this kind of wild vegetable before, it might be a new variety."

"Let me see." Ling Chi turned the grill with one hand and held a wild vegetable in the other.

This wild vegetable is very long and thin, with leaves at the end, somewhat like a single spinach stem, but the leaves are not as large as spinach leaves.

I popped it into my mouth and chewed it. It wasn't very crisp, but it had a unique flavor and was very tender.

He nodded: "It's a little bitter, but not bad. It has some medicinal value."

"Then...should we keep it?" Shuang'er asked.

"Keep it!" Ling Chi said, "Perhaps I can create a decent medicinal dish from it, and that will earn you some credit."

Shuang'er smiled and said, "It's ready. I want to be the first to taste it."

"Whatever you say." Ling Chi smiled; the chicken was ready.

Smelling the aroma, Ling Chi nodded: "As expected of my brother's chicken, it smells wonderful."

He handed the roast chicken to Li Mochou: "Eat up! You'll be better off on your journey."

"..."

Li Mochou sat to one side eating roast chicken. At first, she ate very slowly, but unconsciously she sped up her eating. Her mouth was covered in oil.

Just then, Xiaolongnu walked out of the ancient tomb and saw this scene from afar.

"..."

She turned to look at Granny Sun and asked, "Is she really going to die?"

Grandma Sun: "..."
