"I knew I didn't have the talent for talking."
In the midst of lightning and flint, Pei Wende formed a palm seal with one hand and actually slapped away the rusty sword of the old man in black.
However, this was not the end, because after the rusty sword was knocked away, the old man in black actually pulled out a short blade from his cuff again, aiming directly at Pei Wende's chest.
"I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you. In fact, my martial arts training is not inferior to my magic power."
A ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Pei Wende's other hand suddenly reached forward and clamped the short blade of the old man in black with two fingers.
"this……"
The old man in black didn't even have time to be surprised. The green hairpin from before suddenly shot out again and penetrated directly into his chest.
Seriously!
The green light had already flashed before the sound reached everyone's ears.
Its speed was so fast and its attack was so fierce that even Pei Wende had no time to stop it. He could only watch as the heart of the old man in black was penetrated.
"You started too quickly..."
It was only then that Pei Wende looked at the blue hairpin with a look of helplessness.
In other words, Pei Wende was looking at the vivid green snake on the green hairpin, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"I still have questions to ask, and he can't hurt me."
This was the first time Pei Wende realized that the matter of "raising monsters" might be more troublesome than he thought.
Because Green Snake's current performance is how a real monster should behave.
Cruel, violent, inhumane, and even a little bloodthirsty.
In comparison, Xiao Qing, who has a cold personality and is even a bit lazy, is an outlier among monsters.
After all, Xiaoqing is different from the three civet brothers. Her contact with humans was after meeting Pei Wende, and she had been practicing alone in the mountains before.
It is simply a fantasy to expect Xiao Qing like this to have any empathy for humans or even other living creatures.
The only good thing is that Pei Wende has been instilling relatively normal views into Xiaoqing, intentionally or unintentionally, so there is no need to worry about the other person turning into a bloodthirsty monster.
What Pei Wende is really worried about now is whether it will have any negative impact on Xiao Qing's own will once the current Green Snake returns to its true form.
"A woman's kindness, since the other party has already had murderous intentions, then no matter what, you must strike first."
I don't know if I saw Pei Wende's worry, but the green snake's voice suddenly came from the green hairpin.
"But don't worry, after all, I am an obsession that split from my main body, and I am not very interested in unprovoked killings."
Before he finished speaking, the green hairpin made no movement at all and fell vertically into Pei Wende's palm.
"This character who always pretends to be stupid is exactly the same..."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A moment later, in front of the huge mansion.
"..."
Zhao Mu's family of three reunited again, but this reunion also meant farewell.
Because just like what Pei Wende said before, the old man in black just wanted to trick Zhao Mu into swallowing the "mirage bead".
As for whether Zhu Nu can be rescued in the end, it actually doesn't matter to him.
It was good if he succeeded, but if he failed, he would have an excuse to continue persuading Zhao Mu, which would not affect the subsequent development of the matter.
On the contrary, Ah Da knew very well that since the "mirage bead" was forcibly removed by the old man in black, Zhu Nu, who transformed into a skeleton giant, was already hopeless.
In fact, according to Ah Da's original plan, he wanted Pei Wende to take Zhao Mu to awaken the mirage, while he temporarily held back Zhu Nu, who transformed into a skeleton giant.
Therefore, as long as he persists until the mirage revives, Ada can pray to the mirage to restore his wife to her original state.
However, plans never change quickly.
The first thing Ada didn't expect was that his wife actually reached an agreement with Zhou Sheng, and she did not hesitate to let Zhao Mu give up everything he had and reincarnate and go to the outside world.
You know, there are many people in Mist Village who have reached deals with Zhou Sheng, but there are very few people who can successfully go to the outside world.
As for those who go to the outside world, how many actually go to the outside world?
At least Ada didn't believe Zhou Sheng's words.
Because in his opinion, those were all lies told by the liar Zhou Sheng to deceive the villagers.
Secondly, what Ada didn't expect was that he had already emphasized the dangers of "mirage beads" to Zhu Nu many times.
In the end, she insisted on swallowing the "mirage bead" and turned into the only skeleton giant that could suppress the fog, just to gain the "ability" to trade with Zhou Sheng.
Finally, and most importantly, Ada ignored the cruelty of the old man in black, or the villagers.
In order to dismember the remaining will of the Mirage, the villagers of the Mist Village did not hesitate to sacrifice their own children, turning them into invisible objects that would forever linger in the mist.
But now, in order to continue to extend his "eternal life", what does it matter if he sacrifices Ada's family again?
Anyway, since Ah Da's death, Zhu's mother and son have always had a low status in the village. They are orphans and widowed mothers who are outside the normal social circle.
Since this pair of orphans and widowed mothers have always been incompatible with the village, it would be better to simply let them use their remaining energy before they die.
"You...are you still planning to return to the village?"
It wasn't until Zhu Nu's figure completely disappeared that Pei Wende looked at the completely different father and son before he asked softly.
"Back to...the village?"
Hearing Pei Wende's soft question, Ah Da, who had no tears left to shed, slowly lowered his head, his strong body showing extreme sadness at this moment.
"My parents... sacrificed themselves for me... a long time ago..."
"My wife...has also disappeared now..."
"And I...have also become...what I look like now..."
"What other reason do I have... to return to the village?"
There was no anger or hatred. The sad Ada's tone was as calm as if he was talking about someone else's family.
Part of the reason why Ada chose to swallow the "mirage bead" was to repay the villagers who had raised him since childhood.
So after venting his anger, Ah Da sadly found that he couldn't hate those villagers at all.
"Of course I want to go back, I want to go back to take revenge!"
Completely opposite to Ada's attitude, Zhao Mu, who already understood everything, gritted his teeth and whispered.
"They were the ones who forced my mother to death. I will never forget this hatred no matter what!"
Faced with his son's statement, Ada saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Mu's attitude at this moment was not so much talking to Pei Wende, but rather showing it to him.
Because from Zhao Mu's point of view, his irresponsible father was also one of the culprits that caused his mother's death.
