RPAGF Chapter 270 Burning
Chapter 270 Burning
The flames were still boiling when every word of Tang Huilan's words, filled with desire and fear, reached Miao Yin's ears.
Such a horrifying event did not change her expression in the slightest, as if she were not the protagonist of the story.
So, she died more than once.
Miao Yin suddenly remembered something, which was the first time she used the Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temples in her previous life.
When a person with superpowers awakens, they will naturally know what abilities they possess.
The Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temple is a space where time stands still. As her power grows, the space inside will become larger and larger. It can store anything she wants to store, except life.
Nothing that is alive, including humans and animals, can enter this space, as if there is an invisible barrier surrounding it, dividing the inside into life and death.
Miao Yin touched her chest; the warm blood vessels and muscle tissue wove together like a large net, enveloping her life-giving heart, which beat strongly. No one could tell she was dead.
Living people are not allowed to enter the eighty-eight temples.
As the owner of this superpower, the rule doesn't seem to be working, as Miao Yin can freely travel between the two places.
Now it seems the rules really didn't work?
In the hazy memories, it seemed as if a god was shedding tears of blood in the temple.
Miao Yin lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts, and with a flick of her wrist, the ring of fire shrank a circle as a warning: "You haven't finished speaking yet, so what's next?"
Tang Huilan screamed and awkwardly curled up, hugging her legs.
"Enough! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?!"
After her sister's death, Tang Huilan had no relatives left in the ancient capital. The shadow of death hovered over her heart, as if a large knife could be slashed down at any moment.
Looking at her increasingly emaciated body in the mirror, she finally made a cruel decision.
She wanted to send the child to her father.
She had been careless before. How could a child who couldn't be burned to death be so easily killed by that woman? Her mother had said that the child was a living corpse. Although she didn't know what that meant, the tragedies that had occurred recently were enough to show how terrifying the child was.
Since the curse of death is so powerful, let's send this monster to her father's place and let her parasitize the Leng family, killing everyone inside!
Once all the blood relatives of the Leng family are dead, wouldn't the only survivor be this little monster? Having killed everyone in the Leng family using such methods, what can anyone do but say "bad luck"?
According to the law, this child, as the biological offspring, will certainly inherit a considerable sum of money. How that money is used will ultimately be up to her, the mother.
Thinking about it carefully, so many people have died recently, yet she is still alive. Doesn't that mean that her biological mother treats this little monster differently? What if she is repaying the kindness of saving her from the fire? Then she wouldn't have to die.
They can live and get so much money that they won't have to worry about the rest of their lives.
Just thinking about that scene brought a bit of color back to Tang Huilan's pale face.
She was already getting impatient.
So the next day, she took her child and knocked on the Leng family's door.
The arrogant man looked at her with utter disgust, as if she were a piece of trash on the street.
He cheated on his wife and played around, but he never thought about taking responsibility for any deaths. Tang Huilan was the first person to give birth to a child right under his nose.
If the child were still in her womb, he would definitely try every means to make her abort it, but now that the child has been born, it's not so easy to handle.
Looking at the face that bore a resemblance to his own, the man slammed his hand on the table, left the child behind, gave Tang Huilan a sum of money, and told her to get lost and never appear in front of him again.
He hated these self-righteous, foolish women the most, especially since this fool had created a little trouble for him, making his home noisy.
Having achieved her goal, Tang Huilan happily took the money and left, waiting for the entire Leng family to be wiped out.
She waited for a day, two days, a month, two months.
Even after she had almost spent all her money, she still hadn't received news of the Leng family's deaths.
She was frantic, wandering around the Leng family's neighborhood every day to see if they were dead.
Her hopes were dashed. The death curse miraculously disappeared after she sent Miao Yin to the Leng family, as if everything before was just a hallucination she had fabricated.
She loitered around the area every day, and such behavior naturally did not escape the eyes of the Leng family. Soon, the first wife brought people to warn her, telling her to get out of the ancient capital and to break her legs if they saw her again.
Tang Huilan had no choice but to leave the ancient capital temporarily.
From then on, she started having nightmares.
In her dreams, she always saw a black-haired girl with half a golden lotus at the corner of her eye, sitting on a pile of corpses, her slender white legs crossed, with a ghostly, ambiguous smile.
At first, the girl's face was blurry, as if covered by a veil. She could only vaguely see some outlines. Tang Huilan questioned her countless times who she was, wanting to get closer to her and see what kind of face she really had.
Beneath the girl burned eerie black-red flames. Silent and still, at the end of each nightmare, she would gently wave her hand, and the black-red fire beast would fiercely pounce on her, tearing her body to shreds until she was finally burned to ashes in agonizing despair.
Tang Huilan woke up from her dream in a cold sweat.
As time went by, the blurry areas became clearer and clearer, and she was horrified to discover that the face looked more and more like her!
No, that's not her face.
Once again burned to death in her dream, Tang Huilan lay by the pool and vomited so badly that she almost brought up bile.
She saw it clearly, very clearly, it was her daughter's face.
In reality, she sent Miao Yin to the Leng family and they never saw each other again, but she saw her as an adult in her dreams.
Tang Huilan was truly terrified. The Leng family members were still alive, and she was plagued by nightmares. The way she died in her dreams was becoming clearer and clearer, like some kind of notice, predicting that she would definitely be burned to death by her own daughter in the future.
So she fled to Moon City to seek help from her brother, and then disappeared from the ancient capital.
Until that day, she saw the news on TV about the massacre of the Leng family, and the only survivor was Miao Yin.
"It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."
This sentence flashed through Tang Huilan's mind.
After being out there for so long, her life hasn't really improved; she's still stuck in that limbo, neither good nor bad situation.
She was jealous and resentful that the Leng family was still alive, yet she was both delighted and terrified upon learning of their deaths. Seeing hope for her long-held dream, she gritted her teeth and bought a plane ticket to the ancient capital, hoping to see Miao Yin.
But Miao Yin had already disappeared into the vast sea of people. She waited for a month but couldn't find her. In the end, she had no choice but to return to Moon City in disgrace. After that, the apocalypse began.
She thought she would never see Miao Yin again in her life, but unexpectedly, she was standing right in front of her, and her appearance was exactly the same as the one she had seen in her nightmare.
Tang Huilan knelt on the ground, her long fingernails digging into her flesh. Years of fear and resentment after her hopes were shattered erupted at this moment.
"Why, why do you still haunt me even though you're dead! Why do you come to my dreams every day! You're just like your father, an ingrate! A heartless wretch!"
"None of you want me to have a good life! You all want to bully me! I'm your mother, you would have been burned to death long ago without me! Now you repay kindness with enmity! You heartless monster!!"
Her eyes were filled with venom as she unleashed a torrent of filthy and harsh words, pouring out all the hatred she had accumulated over the years. After finishing her tirade, she burst into tears, recounting how difficult her life had been and how much she loved her daughter, begging Miao Yin to let her go.
Within minutes, she seemed to have gone mad.
Miao Yin looked at her coldly, rubbed her ears, and said with annoyance, "It's so noisy. Since we haven't seen each other for so many years, why don't you just die in some corner?"
She'd had enough.
I thought I could learn some truth about Tang Huilan's rebirth from her, but it turned out to be just more mystery than mystery. Not only that, I also learned a bunch of other nonsense.
The flames suddenly ignited, and the intense heat instantly burned Tang Huilan's skin. She screamed, trying to escape but finding no way to retreat.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Miao Yin, I'm your own mother!" she cried out in anguish.
"Heh." Miao Yin lowered her head and chuckled. "You talk as if you're of any use to me."
"What do you have? Wealth? Power? Hahahaha... You're just a noisy piece of trash. Do you even deserve to be by my side?"
After saying that, the flames completely engulfed Tang Huilan's body, and after a miserable scream, she disappeared from this world.
