I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

Chapter 51: Not as Good as a Demon

The cone-shaped magic weapon in Xuan Hao's hand began to accumulate spiritual power.

Then he glanced at Jiang Chu coldly, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Goodbye forever."

Xuan Hao jumped out of the range of Jiang Chu's puppet tree.

Jiang Chu looked at the Netherworld Lamp outside, which had a bad aura.

I want to give you one more piece of advice.

But it was already too late.

Xuan Hao couldn't wait to jump out.

Just this moment.

Those white lanterns with eyes began to grow arms and legs, and then grew hands.

He ran towards Xuan Hao quickly.

"Crunch, crunch -"

There were dense creaking sounds and the wall of netherworld lights was getting higher and higher.

Wrap Xuan Hao.

Xuan Hao's Soul-Breaking Sword was madly chopping at these endless Netherworld Lamps.

The magic weapon in his hand was waving in the air continuously.

"Break it for me!"

"Break it for me!"

The magic weapon with lightning in Xuan Hao's hand drew a crack in the air.

Sunlight came in through the cracks.

Xuan Hao was very excited, and he used the Soul Breaker in his hand to frantically cut off the Netherworld Lamp.

Finally, there was a chance to escape.

Jiang Chu knew that he could not catch up with this gap, so he did not waste the space opened by Xuan Hao.

He waved his hands quickly and took out the jade slip.

The jade slip finally responded.

He hurriedly sent it to his master.

[Jiang Chu: Master, the Li family, the immortal family where Chengtianmen is located, has seen demons appear and has blocked the barrier. I cannot get out.]

Xuan Hao seized the opportunity and rushed out frantically.

It was about to reach the place where the sunlight was shining through.

Something grabbed hold of my feet.

With a strong pull, Xuan Hao sank suddenly.

Xuan Hao screamed and looked down, and saw a human figure covered in black appear among these Netherworld lights at some point in time.

The figure just pulled gently.

So he came down.

Surrounded by Nether Lights.

"what--"

"Jiang Chu, save me!"

"Help me! Ah——"

"Crunch, crunch -"

Xuan Hao's cry for help and the creaking sound of the Nether Lights pouring in.

Jiang Chu's puppet tree had no time to cover him, and Xuan Hao had already fallen silent.

With his broken limbs, he was completely depressed in the night.

A living person was dismembered right before his eyes.

Jiang Chu couldn't bear it and closed his eyes, not daring to look anymore.

He asked in his heart: Grandpa Turtle, Grandpa Turtle, what is the Netherworld Lamp?

【Wang Ba: Brother, I am just your system. I am not your old housekeeper, nor your encyclopedia. 】

Jiang Chu: After we get out, I will help you find the blue crystal.

[Wang Ba: Ahem – Dear host, I will answer your question about the Netherworld Lamp.]

[Wang Ba: Nether Lamp, a group of hundreds of millions of monsters in the Demonic Abyss, who love to play the soul pawning game with mortals, and devour the souls of mortals when they are the craziest and most like monsters.]

[Wang Ba: The more Netherworld Lamps there are, the more resentful the mortals are, and the stronger the demonic energy is. ]

[Wang Ba: Friendly reminder to my distinguished host, there are only four living people in the entire Li family compound~]

Jiang Chu shuddered.

He glanced sideways at the woman in white mourning who was still kneeling on the ground burning paper with an expressionless face.

He glanced again at the child who was kneeling on the mat, still motionless.

It seemed that only the old butler who was looking at him worriedly was the most normal.

Xuan Hao is gone.

The Netherworld Lamps have already gathered together.

He had to put on a cold face and ask the housekeeper: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The old housekeeper's wrinkled face froze, and he lowered his head to ask the woman who was still burning paper.

"Madam——" The unpleasant voice made Jiang Chu frown.

The person who was burning paper laughed at himself: "What does it matter if the immortal knows? Anyway, we will all die after the seventh day."

"Everything will disappear along with the disappearance of the entire Li family."

Jiang Chu squatted down and looked at the woman whose face looked as pale as death.

"Ma'am, what about your children?"

"You tell me, maybe we still have a chance."

"If you don't say anything, we will truly be left here to die."

The woman raised her eyes and looked at the small figure kneeling on the ground.

There was a flash of heartache in those desperate eyes.

She waved her hand a little tiredly.

Signaled to the old butler.

The old butler then turned around and spoke.

"Master, this all started ten years ago."

The housekeeper was about to continue speaking, but the lady sighed.

"Forget it. Let me tell you, your throat is poisoned and your voice will make this immortal uncomfortable."

As the woman burned the paper, she smiled bitterly and said, "Ten years ago, my master redeemed me from the brothel."

"We came to the Li family..."

"At this time, the Li family had a mistress and two concubines."

"In the harem, everyone wants to have a son as soon as possible, so that they can have someone to rely on. These ladies are all daughters of noble families."

"Especially since the mistress of the house is the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, another famous Wangxianmen."

"I, who came from a humble background, tried every possible means to keep the master."

"Although the four of us were fighting openly and secretly, we all got pregnant in the same year."

"The year I was pregnant was the quietest year for the four of us."

"Everyone was cautious, afraid of being framed, and watched out for each other. They also tried not to meet each other, and things went peacefully."

"A strange thing happened at the 100-day party after the birth of the first child—"

"The mistress's son was lost in plain sight of everyone."

"The mistress has gone completely crazy."

"The same goes for the two concubines' children. They disappeared in public at the 100-day banquet."

"The two concubines are also crazy."

"My child will be here in a hundred days. I am in fear every day and afraid every night..."

"Hold my child and never take my eyes off him for a minute."

"Hahaha--"

The kneeling woman suddenly laughed.

Those bloodshot eyes were filled with sadness.

"On the eve of the 100th day, our crazy mistress suddenly came to me and told me that all this was done by the head of the family."

"The head of the family wants ten sons born after 100 days to serve as cauldrons in order to practice peerless magic. My child is the tenth one."

"Of course I didn't believe it at that time..."

"I spent the 100 days in fear and trepidation, and only felt relieved when I found out that the child was not lost."

"Later, under my careful protection, the child grew up to be nine years old..."

The woman glanced at the child who was kneeling on the mat and still motionless.

His eyes suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Chu was blasted ten meters away by a force.

His lower back hit the coffin.

He almost couldn't control the puppet tree in his hand.

The woman stood up slowly, and the black air that was originally surrounded by the Netherworld Lamp seemed to have found an outlet.

All of it poured into the woman's body.

The old butler held the lantern and stepped aside.

Jiang Chu then saw clearly that there was no little boy kneeling on the mat.

It's basically a paper man wearing clothes.

The woman's plain dress had turned blood red, and she seemed to be floating in the mist.

Half floating in the air.

The voice was tearful: "The child I thought I had protected well, but that beastly paper figurine used magic to deceive me..."

"And my child..."

"my child!!!"

"He's already dead!!!"

"Just like those ten kids! They died long ago!!!"

"You immortals claim to be on the right path! You claim to be the way of heaven!"

"Not as good as a demon!"

"Not as good as a demon!!!"
