So many years have passed.
It's time for the events of that year to come to an end.
For Jun Lanran, this ending might not be a bad outcome.
If she were to live, she would only suffer more, day after day thinking about Jun Xin's death and the unattainable Yuan Xin.
In her life, she betrayed her family. She was sorry to the Jun family and her father. Back then, she was too willful. For just one man, she was willing to abandon all her glory and property. Even though the distance between them was thousands of miles, she was willing to cross mountains and rivers to find him.
But Jun Lanran forgot. She forgot to ask if the man had feelings for her.
All these bitter fruits are the consequences of the causes she sowed back then.
She, Jun Lanran, is now just an ordinary woman. She is no longer the young lady of the Jun family in Qingyun Country. She is just a simple mother.
She has neither the ability nor the heart to kill Yuan Xin with her own hands to avenge her daughter. But she can accompany her daughter on the way to the underworld.
In this way, she probably won't be so lonely in the afterlife, right?
Jun Lanran closed her eyes.
Numerous servants stood behind Yuan Xin.
But none of them dared to take a step forward.
"Master, shall we dispose of her?"
Yuan Xin waved his hand, and the servant who spoke immediately suffered from blood congestion all over his body and died on the spot.
After this, no one dared to say a word.
Yuan Xin stood up.
Jun Lanran was determined to die, and he couldn't stop her. When a person's heart is dead, living is just a kind of suffering.
Yuan Xin removed Jun Lanran from the sharp branch.
He used his spiritual power to seal Jun Lanran's wound to stop the bleeding.
Then, Yuan Xin picked up Jun Lanran and walked to the backyard. Under the pool in the backyard was the Yuan family's secret chamber, where the temperature was relatively low and the corpses were not easy to rot.
Now, Jun Xin was also preserved down there, parasitized with the potion, ready to lure the divine beast tomorrow.
Yuan Xin carried Jun Lanran underground.
Then, he placed Jun Lanran's body on the stone bed next to Jun Xin's.
"The two of you look so alike."
But he himself didn't recognize it.
"Maybe God really wants to punish me. Because I've done too many evil deeds in the dark, so he gave you to me and then made me send you away with my own hands."
Yuan Xin walked to Jun Xin's side.
His hand gently stroked Jun Xin's face.
"Xin'er, I never knew you were my child. But when I was with you, I always felt very close. It's father who is sorry for you."
Yuan Xin murmured to himself.
The wrong things he had done in his life were countless.
For An Susu, how many people had he hurt and how many evil deeds had he done? So in the end, these retributions all fell on him one by one.
Miao Xi came down.
The master of the An family came with her.
An Susu happened to be on business in Shengjing. Thinking of coming to see Miao Xi and hearing about the woman from Miao Xi, she followed her down to take a look.
"Master."
Yuan Xin stood with his back turned and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"My aunt is here."
Yuan Xin's back stiffened. For a long time, he didn't know how to move.
Just as Jun Lanran said, outside the court, his appearance was the most amazing thing for her in summer. For Yuan Xin, although An Susu was just a fleeting glimpse in his life, he could never forget Susu's every frown and smile after that one glance.
"Yuan Xin, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Xin didn't say a word.
Or rather, at this moment, he didn't know how to face the two corpses in front of him. Their deaths were related to him.
What was even more ridiculous was that he had done all this for the woman behind him.
"Susu, you're here."
An Susu walked forward.
Yuan Xin quickly said, "You don't need to come over. Just stand there. I'm in an unstable mood and can't control myself."
Yuan Xin still had his back to An Susu.
If An Susu had appeared in the Yuan family before, Yuan Xin would surely have been overjoyed. He had never been so strange as today.
"Yuan Xin, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, Susu. Do you think that one day, the things we've done before will come back to haunt us?"
An Susu turned around.
Looking at Miao Xi beside her, she asked, "What kind of stimulation has your master received?"
Miao Xi shook her head and replied, "I don't know either. Yesterday, we just found the host for the potion, which was Jun Xin. When Jun Xin died yesterday, the master was already a bit abnormal. After that woman came today, he has been like this."
"The host for the potion?"
"Yes, aunt. Our master knows that you like to keep precious divine beasts. Some time ago, the Cloud Mist Alliance and the Moon Mirror Palace were attacked. The master went to the scene and found it was the glazed fire."
"The glazed fire of the phoenix?"
Miao Xi nodded and continued,
"Because what that girl Jun Xin did at that time had brought too many negative impacts on the Yuan family, the master wanted to use Jun Xin as the host for the potion. Then we could use the potion to attract the divine beast phoenix."
An Susu roughly understood the ins and outs.
She looked at the man's back.
Over the years, the things Yuan Xin had done for her were countless.
"Yuan Xin, is it for me again?"
"No, it's not for you. It's my own selfish desire. Susu, you don't need to worry about this. It's all my own doing."
"Yuan Xin, what's wrong with you?"
An Susu wanted to step forward to comfort Yuan Xin.
Yuan Xin suddenly turned his head.
At this moment, his face was full of tears.
"Yuan Xin, you?"
"Miao Xi, take your aunt out."
"Yuan Xin?"
"Susu, you can go out. You don't need to come here again in the future. They, the mother and daughter, probably don't want to see you."
An Susu's heart skipped a beat.
What did Yuan Xin mean by saying this?
He had always placed her in the highest position. No one's status could ever surpass hers. But now, how could he say such a thing?
"Miao Xi, take your aunt out."
Miao Xi had no choice but to take An Susu out of the basement.
The stone door closed heavily in front of Yuan Xin.
He really loved An Susu deeply. For her, he could abandon his beliefs and his integrity. For her, he was not afraid of becoming a heinous villain.
He thought that if there were any retributions, they should all fall on him.
But alas, things didn't go as he wished.
This sin fell on his daughter.
"Xin'er, father is here. You don't need to be afraid."
Yuan Xin hugged Jun Xin in his arms. The potion in her body had now penetrated her whole body, and her body emitted a faint blue light.
The body of a seven - realm spiritual pharmacist nourishing the potion. With such a powerful temptation, the divine beast attracted would surely be extraordinary.
"If I had known you were my child, I would have protected you at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing my life."
"Xin'er, father is sorry for you."
