604 An Eye for an Eye 4
If Su Xiaolu was taking revenge for the master and disciple, the Heavenly Dao would never allow it.
The master and disciple were meant to have the five ills and three shortcomings in their lives. They had lives that ordinary people did not have, so they naturally had to suffer.
No evil could be done.
If someone suffered because of them, Heavenly Punishment would definitely descend.
Su Xiaolu’s expression was calm as she clicked her tongue. “You’re really vicious. The heavens are really unfair. I’m here to punish you on behalf of the heavens. As the saying goes, you’ll definitely see ghosts if you walk too much at night. How can you not wet your shoes if you walk by the river often?”
“The reason why you succeeded every time before was because you didn’t meet me. Therefore, today, we must take revenge. We have to take revenge and punish you on behalf of the heavens!”
Su Xiaolu’s heroic and ambitious words made Miao Yuehua panic. She could feel that something was put on her.
“Old witch, hurry up and continue. I don’t have a complete understanding of the story yet. I’m a fair person. I’ll let you know how I want to take revenge.”
Su Xiaolu smiled at Miao Yuehua.
Miao Yuehua swallowed the blood in her throat. “Later on, I fed my son the things that they had worked so hard to accumulate. Their 12 years of hard work were all in vain. Both master and disciple were people with incomplete lives. There would never be another 12 years. They would definitely die miserably. They would either rot in the gutter and grow maggots, or their corpses would be exposed in the wilderness and eaten by jackals…”
Miao Yuehua’s eyes darkened. This was the correct trajectory. She and her son would definitely live a peaceful and happy life.
But now, she was not so sure if fate had changed.
She was too flustered. If her fate had not changed, she would not have suffered such a calamity. She looked at Su Xiaolu. She did not know how to read fortunes, but she also felt that Su Xiaolu was extraordinary. She was definitely blessed by the heavens.
Miao Yuehua’s heart felt like it was weighed down by a huge rock.
Her good luck was stolen, but Su Xiaolu’s good luck was innate. When the two of them interacted, she would only be suppressed. This was called life suppression. One should have the life they were destined for. In front of Su Xiaolu, she was undoubtedly the demon who had been beaten until her original form was revealed…
“Wow, you’re so vicious.”
Su Xiaolu exclaimed.
Miao Yuehua could not tell if she was angry or hateful. She did not understand this child in front of her at all. He looked about the same age as her son, but the difference was too great.
“Yes, I’m a vicious woman, but no matter how vicious a person is, there’s still something they care about the most. My son is my greatest weakness. As long as you can let my son go, I’m willing to agree to anything.”
Miao Yuehua admitted that she was vicious. She only hoped that Su Xiaolu would let them off on account of her admitting everything.
Su Xiaolu looked at Xiao Yi. A layer of black filth had already appeared on his body. His eyes were very red, and something seemed to be surging under his exposed skin.
Su Xiaolu looked at Miao Yuehua and smiled. “You really shot yourself in the foot. This is retribution.”
“You bought five pills from me. Don’t tell me you gave them all to your son?”
There was something in Su Xiaolu’s words that almost drove Miao Yuehua crazy.
“What?” Miao Yuehua looked at Su Xiaolu nervously and asked with difficulty, “What do you mean? Are the pills you gave poisonous?”
Su Xiaolu reached out and shook her finger. “No, no, no.”
“I’m not like you. You go back on your word and have a vicious mind. Why would I poison it?” Su Xiaolu said with a smile. Her tone changed and she said, “However, I’m afraid your son can’t withstand this nourishment. Look at him. His meridians are about to break, and he ate that insect powder. Tsk… you’re really harming yourself.”
Miao Yuehua was so anxious that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Su Xiaolu dodged.
Miao Yuehua had been trying her best to break through the acupuncture points, and Su Xiaolu had been provoking her. She was eager to save her son. Miao Yuehua broke through the acupuncture points and shattered the silver needle into countless pieces. She couldn’t care less about them running around her body. She quickly pounced on Xiao Yi. Her brain seemed to have slowed down for a few seconds, and intense pain came from all over her limbs.
She collapsed in front of Xiao Yi.
“My son—”
Miao Yuehua’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She couldn’t care less about the pain in her body. What she was most concerned about was her son, Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi’s consciousness was a little blurry. He was still shouting, “Water, give me water. I want to drink water…”
He had drunk so much water, but it was still not enough. He was still very thirsty.
His lips were chapped.
Miao Yuehua’s eyes were full of tears and her heart ached. She took out a packet of medicinal powder, opened Xiao Yi’s mouth and poured it in. She cried, “Yi’er, swallow it quickly.”
Xiao Yi was very resistant. “It tastes awful…”
Miao Yuehua pinched his chin and forced him to swallow.
When Miao Yuehua did all this, Su Xiaolu and Gui You watched. Even if Miao Yuehua loved her son and her misery was real, it did not change the fact that she had harmed others.
Xiao Yi’s body couldn’t withstand the nourishment of divine medicine at all. He didn’t have any defects, and he didn’t have a foundation in martial arts. The divine medicine was meant to help one grow. Without a foundation to support him, his body would explode due to excessive improvement.
Xiao Yi ate the insect powder to balance the effects, but the consequences were not something he could bear.
Miao Yuehua thought that she had given him the best, but she did not know that it was because of this that she had harmed him.
Miao Yuehua also realized this. She turned around trembling and looked at Su Xiaolu pleadingly. “How can I save my son? Please, I’ll do anything.”
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “If you were willing to tell me some stories at the inn, I would have told you how to eat the divine medicine.”
However, not only did Miao Yuehua not say anything, but she also used sinister methods to scheme against Su Xiaolu and her master. No matter how much she regretted it now, there was nothing she could do.
If his meridians were damaged, there was no cure for it. He would live in pain forever.
It was not too painful, but it was continuous. It could not be cured. It was torturous.
He would be living in torture everyday.
Su Xiaolu and Gui You were about to leave.
Miao Yuehua’s voice was hoarse. “Don’t go, don’t go. I’ll buy more divine medicine.”
Only divine medicine could treat her son’s illness. She could just buy more medicine.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No, I don’t have any more no matter how much you pay.”
Su Xiaolu skipped out, not caring about Miao Yuehua’s sinister gaze on her.
Gui You followed behind. When they were about to leave, Gui You stopped and turned to Miao Yuehua. “I still have one more. Do you want to buy it? Five hundred thousand taels of silver.”
