Chapter 320 Junior Sister's expression was definitely not a joke
“When we first arrived, you, the village chief, said that the couple left on their own, right?” Si Nansheng looked at the village chief with clear eyes.
The village chief's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Si Nansheng had seen through everything he was doing.
"Of course." The village chief was determined to stick to his guns and refuse to admit it.
"I see. Then can you tell me why you still look the same as you did thirty years ago?"
Si Nansheng watched as the village chief slowly spoke, and the expressions of the village chief and the villagers changed involuntarily.
Yes, their appearance seems to have remained unchanged since that incident.
"I..." The village chief tried to make an excuse for himself, but Si Nansheng had already raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Don't make excuses. You are just an ordinary human being without spiritual roots, unable to cultivate, and it's impossible for you to maintain your appearance like a cultivator."
Si Nansheng's words caused a ruthless glint to flash in the village chief's eyes.
"No matter what I say, you may all think I'm being unreasonable, but there's someone you should all know."
Si Nansheng looked into the distance, and everyone's gaze followed hers.
Hai Rui's voice drifted over slowly, and the expressions on all the villagers' faces changed repeatedly.
“Hai…Hai Rui…you…” The village chief pointed at Hai Rui tremblingly.
"You mean to say that Hai Rui is dead? How come he's still here?" Si Nansheng looked at the village chief with a smile. The village chief hurriedly withdrew his hand, forcing himself to calm down.
“I am dead. I was brutally killed by you. Not only me, but also my parents, and of course, your own children.”
Hai Rui spoke to the villagers with a cold smile, and the villagers all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Junior Sister Si, what exactly happened?" Meng Feifei asked Si Nansheng in confusion. Although they roughly knew what had happened, they really didn't expect there to be such a child involved.
"His name was Hai Rui, the son of the couple the village chief and the others were talking about. However, he is already dead, and now he is just a soul that died with his eyes wide open."
Si Nansheng looked at them and began to explain, and they all looked at Hai Rui with pity.
Hai Rui rolled his eyes. What did those people mean by looking at him? He didn't need anyone's pity.
"Come on, Hai Rui, explain the truth to everyone." Si Nansheng looked at Hai Rui, who pointed to his nose, and Si Nansheng nodded.
Although he felt helpless, knowing that he was about to disappear and Si Nansheng was still going to enslave him, Hai Rui still obediently stepped forward.
"You should already know what happened before. After my mother became pregnant, she developed many merfolk characteristics. My parents managed to hide it quite well."
But later, when people found out that my mother was eating raw fish, everyone was scared and started to stay away from my home, but my parents didn't care.
They actually secretly followed my parents, and when they saw my mother's fish tail appear in the sea, they were not afraid at all, but instead had evil intentions.
One day, while my father and I were out hunting, they kidnapped my mother. When my father and I returned, we found that my mother was missing and began to search for her everywhere.
They said they saw my mother leave with a man early in the morning. My father naturally didn't believe it; my mother couldn't possibly have abandoned my father and me to leave with another man.
What's more, she was pregnant and about to give birth, so my father took me to search for her in the village.
When they finally found my mother, they had already cut open her stomach. My father, in order to save my mother, released his cultivation power.
But I don't know where these people got the poison from. My father was poisoned while trying to save me. Knowing that he and my mother couldn't leave, my father told me to take my younger brother and escape.
But these people wouldn't let us go and kept chasing us. I had no choice but to hide my younger brother and distract them.
I was captured by them. When I regained consciousness, I saw my own body. Those who killed me couldn't see me. I hurriedly took the opportunity to go find my parents.
But Mother was already dead. They even put her in a huge, huge pot. Father seemed to see me, smiling at me, silently telling me to take good care of my younger brother…
As Hai Rui spoke, the power within him began to spiral out of control, and white mist swept in from all directions.
Ye Yanqing and the others carefully protected Si Nansheng and Meng Feifei behind them.
Suddenly, the villagers began to scream. Si Nansheng couldn't help but close her eyes, and a pair of warm hands gently covered her ears to prevent her from hearing the sounds.
After a long time, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and as the hand on her ear loosened, Si Nansheng opened her eyes. She turned to look behind her, and Li Tianhen was standing there, looking into the distance.
Si Nansheng looked over and saw a group of villagers lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Behind the villagers was Hai Rui, whose face was dim and almost invisible.
"Are you leaving?" Si Nansheng asked softly.
"Yes, thank you for giving me this opportunity. It's just a pity that I'm too weak to kill them." Hai Rui nodded to Si Nansheng.
"It's alright, they've got plenty of retribution to come." Si Nansheng smiled gently, and Hai Rui couldn't help but laugh as well, his figure slowly disappearing.
Si Nansheng felt a pang of reluctance; he hadn't yet seen her bury him and his parents' remains together.
"If you want to cry, then cry. We won't laugh at you." Li Tianhen raised his hand and rubbed Si Nansheng's head.
"I don't want to cry." Si Nansheng said irritably, and Li Tianhen smiled.
"I don't know where you heard that eating mermaid flesh and blood can grant immortality, but I think you're quite ridiculous. Over the years, the changes in your bodies must have made you quite sad, right?"
And these children, why do you think they were born like this? It's all because of your greed, you've ruined them.
Hai Rui is no longer here, and the thick fog that frightened you will never appear again. Our mission is complete.
"What we need to do next is unrelated to the mission." Si Nansheng said calmly, looking at the villagers.
"What...what are you going to do?" The village chief looked up at Si Nansheng, clutching his battered arm.
"The fewer people who know about this village, the better, so that no one will break in and be harmed by you. Therefore, my master will set up a barrier here, and from now on, you will live a life of seclusion here."
After Si Nansheng finished speaking with a smile, the village chief wanted to say something, but Si Nansheng didn't even give him a glance and turned to look at Li Tianhen.
"Master, is it alright?"
“Okay.” Li Tianhen nodded, and Si Nansheng immediately grinned again.
Ye Yanqing and the others looked at Si Nansheng, then at the corpses they had recovered laid out in front of them.
What should we do about this?
"Junior Sister, what should we do with these corpses?" Bai Ye asked Si Nansheng directly.
"Just leave it here," Si Nansheng said nonchalantly.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Si Nansheng in confusion.
These are corpses, it doesn't seem appropriate to leave them here, does it?
Judging from the junior sister's expression, this was definitely not a joke.
