It would be easy for Liu Pei to kill Mu Erniu directly, but rather than a quick and painless death, he would prefer to see Mu Erniu's despair.
Liu Pei brought Qiu Lan back to the Liu Family. In fact, there were many opinions within the Liu Family. However, because Liu Pei was outstanding in ability and had a very high Cultivation Level, he had the opportunity to surpass the Family Head and lead the Liu Family to a higher level. So those people only complained a few words in private, saying that this kind of thing would damage the reputation of their Liu Family. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Looking at the luxurious room Liu Pei had given her, Qiu Lan felt a pang of sadness again.
When I first got together with Mu Erniu, life wasn't this good, but it was still warm and cozy. We had our own little home, and life was alright, simple and peaceful.
Unfortunately... everything changed in the end.
Watching Liu Pei bustling around, Qiu Lan felt a pang of sadness. She understood what Liu Pei was thinking, but Qiu Lan was no longer the little girl she once was.
She is a woman.
Qiu Lan is essentially a proud woman. She can no longer accept being with another man and feels that she is not good enough for other men, especially Liu Pei.
So when she saw all that Liu Pei had done for her, she felt even more guilty, but now Mu Xin needed Liu Pei's help.
Without Liu Pei's help, it would be very difficult for the mother and daughter to survive in this world.
From the Liu Family distance, Su Chen watched silently. She wasn't in a hurry to acknowledge them; once the person was found, everything would be fine.
Less than a month later, Mu Erniu ran to the Liu Family's door and knelt down, begging Qiu Lan for forgiveness. He said he couldn't afford to eat and was starving to death, hoping that Qiu Lan would give him some Spirit Stone out of consideration for their past as husband and wife.
It was obvious without even looking that Mu Erniu had lost all his Spirit Stone.
Unfortunately, he hadn't been shouting for long when Mu Erniu's leg was broken by the Liu Family's Guard and he was thrown far away.
Who is the Liu Family? How dare they make a scene there?
After that, Mu Erniu dared not appear at the Liu Family, but he could occasionally see a man with a cane in the Liu Family distance, his eyes fixed on the Liu Family, not missing anyone who came in or out.
This continued for about two months.
Today.
Qiu Lan and Liu Pei walked out of the Liu Family. Upon seeing Mu Erniu, Mu Erniu immediately rushed out to Qiu Lan's side.
"Lan'er, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. We were husband and wife before..."
"Shut up!"
Qiu Lan roared, her eyes blazing with fury. She had completely given up on Mu Erniu.
"It's over between us. You don't deserve to be my husband, nor Xin'er's father. You came to me because you ran out of Spirit Stone to gamble, didn't you? A leopard can't change its spots."
After saying that, he grabbed Liu Pei and tried to leave.
Seeing that the only chance to obtain Spirit Stone was far away, Mu Erniu suddenly went a little crazy. He tried to grab Qiu Lan, but before he could, Liu Pei kicked Mu Erniu in the shoulder, almost dislocating his shoulder.
Liu Pei looked at Mu Erniu with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and sneered, "Mu Erniu, have you lost your mind? Want to die?!"
Mu Erniu was immediately filled with fear; only then did he remember who Liu Pei was.
Watching Liu Pei and Qiu Lan leave, Mu Erniu was filled with resentment. He walked forward dejectedly.
"Dad, you eat."
A sweet, coquettish voice rang out, and Mu Erniu's somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly looked up. In front of him was a familiar house, the one his parents had bought for Mu Erniu.
At the entrance of this courtyard, a small child is feeding a Middle-aged Man candied hawthorns, and next to them is a gentle-looking middle-aged woman.
"My Yan Yan is so well-behaved, she's simply the most well-behaved Yan Yan in the whole world."
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air. Looking at the three happy family members, Mu Erniu's eyes were filled with a sense of dazedness. He seemed to be recalling what his life was like at the beginning.
He once sat on this threshold and fed Qiu Lan.
Mu Erniu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a suffocating feeling welled up inside him, making it difficult for him to even breathe. Pain, frustration, helplessness, and various other emotions intertwined in his mind.
He sat down on the ground.
Why did I go to Ju Cai Lou?
Mu Erniu suddenly remembered why he went there the first time: a friend said that you could earn Spirit Stone there, and if you were lucky, you could earn several thousand or even tens of thousands a day.
In addition, the family was indeed short of Spirit Stone at that time, and they also wanted to give Qiu Lan a better life and environment, so they gave it a try.
But he didn't know when it started, but he felt like he couldn't stop.
Mu Erniu had forgotten that his initial reason for entering Ju Cai Lou was to improve his life. He had become addicted to gambling and started using various methods to obtain gambling funds.
He eventually sold the house.
Mu Erniu returned to his dilapidated hut in the outer city in a daze. Perhaps because he hadn't been back for a long time, the house looked even more run-down, with water everywhere.
But this small room was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, and there were several bowls on the floor that he had smashed in a fit of anger after losing a betting session.
Recalling Qiu Lan's disappointed and tearful eyes at that time, Mu Erniu was somewhat stunned.
"What... did I do?"
Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.
He wiped away his tears and began repairing the house, cleaning it thoroughly. It took him two whole days to make the house look brand new.
Mu Erniu sat on the bed, and opposite him were the things that Qiu Lan used to use.
When she first arrived here, Qiu Lan didn't complain. Instead, she kept the room in perfect order. She would always smile and say to her back then.
It's okay, it's all over Past.
If we live well in the Future, things will definitely change.
But by then, Mu Erniu had already accumulated too much debt. He had gone mad and couldn't think of anything else. He used gambling to earn more Spirit Stone and then pay off his debts.
This may be his only way out.
Pity.
Instead of repaying the debt, he accumulated more and more debt.
And so it went on, and Qiu Lan grew increasingly disappointed in him.
Mu Erniu's eyes were glazed over as he looked at the empty room. "What do I have left?"
My life was wonderful before, how did it come to this?
"Ha ha ha ha."
Mu Erniu couldn't help but laugh out loud twice, but gradually the sound faded away, and finally the room fell into a deathly silence, with scarlet blood slowly flowing out from the crack below the threshold.
Three years Past in the blink of an eye.
In three years, Mu Xin has been able to walk on her own. Now she looks like a porcelain doll, exquisite and beautiful, and exceptionally pretty.
Mu Xin sat in the Courtyard, staring blankly at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion.
What's going on?
How did I come back to life?
Could it be reincarnation?
Where is my husband?
Countless questions arose in her mind. She understood what this world was really like. This place was no longer called the Immortal Realm, but was collectively referred to as the Myriad Worlds.
At first, Mu Xin thought it was the Lower Realm.
As it turned out, his mother told him that the place they lived in was Barren Continent where Immortal were rare. Only in places like Central Continent Beidou Prefecture would there be more Immortal.
This means that there are indeed Immortal in this Cloud Firmament Realm.
This is not the Lower Realm!
