Chapter 574: The Hidden Gentleness in Ruan Ruan's Bones
Xiaoguang's sister remained calm, showing no signs of resentment or anger. She had detached herself from her mortal body, no longer affected by any torment, and had nothing to do with him.
Previously, her anger had been fueled in large part by her inability to be reincarnated and her resentment at being turned into a killing tool.
Xiaoguang, seeing that his sister didn't mind, continued to speak to Qin Ruan, "Everything my sister went through was caused by Huang Mao. I invaded his dream, disguised as my sister, to frighten him. His mind became unstable due to the shock, and in retaliation, I killed him using puppetry. Afterward, I disguised the scene to make it look like he committed suicide by jumping off a building. I intended to send his soul to Lou Hong and turn him into a killing tool like us."
"If you had appeared just two days later, Huang Mao would have become like us. As for Huang Biao, Lou Hong wanted to take his life..."
After explaining the cause and effect of the situation, Xiao Guang's sister, with her cold red lips, revealed a hint of coldness. It was undeniable that one would sympathize with Xiao Guang and his sister's experiences, but it didn't mean they were innocent.
Qin Ruan's cool face exuded a hint of chill as she said, "Huang Mao committed numerous evil deeds and, after entering the underworld, he will undoubtedly face punishment and torment."
Xiaoguang's face turned dark with resentment, "That would be fine, but unfortunately, it was too easy for him to die!"
Qin Ruan's tone turned grave as she said, "You shouldn't have taken his life. Everyone's life and death have a predetermined fate, but evildoing can shorten one's lifespan. Even if you hadn't acted, he would have met his demise."
She appeared like a true ruler of life and death, looking down upon all living beings.
The overwhelming pressure emanating from her made people bow their heads humbly in her presence. Though Xiaoguang showed respect on the surface, there was no hint of remorse in his heart.
"Even so, it doesn't feel satisfying to let him die so easily!" His anger, resentment, and unwavering determination were evident on his face as he spoke.
In that moment, Qin Ruan felt a sense of empathy. Indeed, even if they knew their enemy would eventually die, it wouldn't be as satisfying as taking vengeance with their own hands.
Qin Ruan's lips curved into an elegant smile as she asked, "Who is this Lou Hong? I want to know his exact identity."
All she knew was that he was a Taoist who could control spirits and turn ghosts into killing weapons, which clearly indicated that he was no righteous individual.
When Xiaoguang and his sister heard the name Lou Hong, fear and dread appeared in their eyes. They seemed to be very afraid of him.
Xiao Guang spoke with a tense voice, "Lou Hong is a young man who recently appeared in the capital. His actions have all been aimed at infiltrating the gray forces within the city. He is ruthless and not only has me and my sister working for him, but he also has several other skilled killers who take care of his enemies, eliminating anyone who obstructs his path to power."
Qin Ruan nodded calmly, realizing that Huang Biao also knew Lou Hong. Finding him wouldn't be difficult.
This person's malevolence had disrupted the normal order of the mortal realm by controlling spirits to achieve wicked goals. As a guardian against evil, Qin Ruan had an obligation to act.
She wanted to eliminate Lou Hong and harvest the souls he controlled, especially the malevolent spirits, as they would be valuable resources for her during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Qin Ruan, with her hand gently resting on her slightly swollen belly, exuded a gentle and alluring charm. Her serene and enchanting demeanor relaxed the atmosphere around her.
Xiao Guang and his sister couldn't help but be captivated by Qin Ruan's appearance and temperament. Her pregnancy seemed advanced, indicating that she was about to give birth, yet she looked even younger than them.
Her demeanor, both cold and gentle, gave off an air of disdain for the world, making people feel oppressed, yet she also emanated a sense of warmth when one interacted with her.
This contradiction seemed natural, as if it were innate.
Qin Ruan emitted an aura that commanded respect, not only due to her strength but also because of the hidden gentleness within her.
At this moment, Xiaoguang and his sister were unaware that they were drawn to her because of their shared nature.
Qin Ruan was a half-god from the underworld, and her aura could make others feel a sense of familiarity.
Behind them, they heard a hoarse and painful sound, and when they turned around, they saw Lin Hao lying on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, holding his head with an agonized expression. He was about to wake up.
Qin Ruan turned back to Xiao Guang and his sister and asked once again, "Are you sure there's nothing else to confess?"
"We have nothing else to say," they replied simultaneously.
Qin Ruan nodded, her calm voice revealing a warning, "That's for the best. If you have anything to confess later, it would be best to do so now. Even if I send you to the underworld, I can still bring you back if I find anything later."
Her words clearly indicated the close relationship between her and the underworld.
Xiaoguang also sensed that he was genuinely curious about Qin Ruan.
Who exactly was this woman?
How did she possess such power?
