"H-how could this happen..."
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiao Wu closed her eyes in anguish.
She couldn't imagine it.
She had walked into someone else's trap from the very beginning.
From start to finish, it had all been a lie.
Anyone who tried to get close to her would die.
Tang San's father, Tang Hao, would eliminate them.
And all because the presence of others might stop her from performing the Sacrifice for Tang San.
"Does Tang San know about this?"
Only after a long while did Xiao Wu open her eyes, her heart numb with despair, and ask the question.

"One piece will keep her childhood memories, and he'll treat her as his real daughter. Another will cultivate and suffer in his real daughter's place, waiting for her efforts to be taken. He'll put another piece inside a powerful Soul Beast, then find a gifted son-in-law with heaven-defying luck."

"He'll make them endure the pain of losing someone they love, all to turn them into the people Tang San wants them to be."
"That's
