Chapter 236: Xiao Xiang’er [Last Trial]

[Secret Realm of Congzhu, Underground Palace’s Trial]

"Aunty, aunty, do you want to go and hunt the animal with Xiang’er?" An adorable girl with pale blue hair and pure big blue eyes was holding her sleeve with her cute tone.

"Xiang’er, I heard that the forest isn’t safe these days. Many villagers were missing. We should stay in the village." A gentle voice came from a beautiful woman with an old and plain hanfu.

Her face was pale because she had had the incurable disease since she was young. Now that she was twenty-four years old, she found out that her body was getting weaker and weaker. She didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t want them to worry about her.

She was born in this Xingfu village. When she was five years old, her parents died under the beast’s claw in the forest when he went hunting.

Her mother could not stand the heartbreak of losing her loved one, so she became ill. Two years later, her mother died, leaving her alone.

Her name was YueYue. Because of everyone’s kindness, she survived. The people in the Xingfu Village always gave her food. The village was poor, but everyone was united and lived a happy life.

Xiang’er was the child of Aunt Li, who lived near her house. Xiang’er has loved to cling to her since she was young. That day, when Xiang’er was two years old, she crawled out of the house and almost fell into the river when Aunt Li left her for ten minutes.

The people in the village were busy with their jobs; they didn’t find Xiang’er approaching the river in the villages. When Xiang’er was about to fall down, she saved Xiang’er.

Now that Xiang’er was seven years old, she behaved differently from other girls her age. She likes to sneak into the forest to play and hunt. Her strength is comparable to that of an adult strong man in some ways. Xiang’er’s height reached her waist.

"Aunty, we’ll be fine." Xiao Xiang’er’s tone was mischievous as she winked at her beautiful eyes. She has something to show her beloved aunty.

"Xiang’er, do you know that we shouldn’t make adults worry about us?" YueYue’s tone was weak. She resisted the urge to cough.

"Aunty, don’t be mad with Xiang’er. Xiang’er will not go." Xiao Xiang’er had no choice but to nod in regret when she saw Aunty’s face wasn’t good-looking. She didn’t know that her aunt was about to die.

"Good girl, when everything is fine, Aunty will accompany Xiang’er everywhere." YueYue stroked the soft and long pale blue hair of Xiao Xiang’er.

"Promise??" Xiao Xiang’er’s eyes were sparkling. Her eyes were full of expectation and yearning. At the same time, her face was tensed because she was afraid of hearing her aunt’s rejection.

"Very well." YueYue nodded and smiled.

"Xiang’er loves Aunty the most." Xiao Xiang’er jumped into YueYue’s embrace and hugged YueYue.

"Aunty also loves Xiang’er." YueYue hugged Xiao Xiang’er and smiled. The bitter emotion flashed in her eyes. Xiang’er, aunty, I really wish that aunty could live up to that day. Aunty was afraid that she would have to break our first promise.

(A year later....)

The day in the village should be calm and peaceful. This beautiful village suddenly turned upside down. The sky turned gloomy, like the storm was about to brew. The weather turned chill, like falling into the ice ocean.

YueYue, who was sleeping, suddenly stood up with sweat dripping all over her pale face. She didn’t put on her shoes and rushed to open the door.

What caught her eye was the bloody and tragic scene. Countless corpses were scattered on the ground, and blood gushed out of their bodies like a bloody river.

The clear river stream turned red because of everyone’s blood. The village turned quietly scary. The fishy smell of the blood floated to her nose. The grass was red with blood.

"Xiang’er, Aunt Li, Uncle, everyone..." YueYue was shivering in shock. When her mood calmed down, she rushed over to check if anyone was alive.
