Chapter 817 - 817 Liar, Go to Hell
817 Liar, Go to Hell
It was dark in the wilderness. If it wasn’t for money, it was definitely for life.
Bai Hongmei said that she quarreled with her husband and wanted to go back to her maiden home, but halfway through, she went into labor.
At this time, normal people should put aside their pride. Nothing was more important than giving birth.
Taking a step back, even if she really cared about her face and refused to return to her in-laws’ house, she shouldn’t have asked them to send her home. After all, she was already in labor. It was dark and it wasn’t easy to travel. Instead of taking the risk to travel, it was better to start a fire on the spot to help her deliver the baby.
Returning to the city was the best option. Starting a fire on the spot to deliver her child was the next best option. Taking the risk of returning to her maiden home was the worst option. She didn’t choose the best option, but she chose the worst option. If she wasn’t a demon, who was?
If she wanted his life, he would make the first move. He was not stupid enough to wait for her to make the first move. He wanted to see what kind of monster this was!
“Young Master, you—why do you want to kill me—”
Bai Hongmei sobbed. Her face was a little distorted from the pain, but her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was shocked and in disbelief.
Su Kuo looked at her sincere expression and doubted himself for a moment. Could he have made a mistake?
“Young Master… why? Tell me. I have no grudges with you. Why do you want my life?”
Bai Hongmei complained sadly, her voice was weak.
Su Kuo pondered. Did he really kill the wrong person?
He looked at Bai Hongmei and asked, “Fine. Then answer a few questions for me first.”
Bai Hongmei wiped her tears sadly. “Young Master, tell me.”
Su Kuo asked directly, “First, you’re clearly about to give birth and it’s almost dark. Why are you still insisting on going to the deep mountains? Why can’t you put down your pride and return to the city? Or let my sister and I help you deliver the child on the spot? After all, the first two are feasible, but you didn’t choose them. Why?”
Bai Hongmei was stunned. Her expression was a little stiff. She cried. Finally, she said, “Young Master is not a woman. How can you understand a woman’s shy heart? I don’t want to go back. If I go back, they will look down on me. How can I live in the future if I can’t even raise my head? It’s not good to give birth to a child on the road. It’s inauspicious. That’s why I want to go home.”
“Then it’s inauspicious for you to give birth halfway here too.”
Su Kuo really couldn’t understand.
Was that bit of face that important?
So important that she could disregard her own life??
Bai Hongmei wiped her tears. “Young Master, how can I have a chance to give birth now? Young Master is suspicious of me and wants to kill me. I don’t blame you, but can you promise me something?”
Su Kuo did not expect her to still ask him at this time. How could she be normal?
Under normal circumstances, a normal pregnant woman should have run and crawled with all her might when he attacked with his sword. Not only did she not, but she even asked questions and asked him for help.
The corners of Su Kuo’s mouth twitched as he asked, “What is it? Tell me.”
“Young Master, please help me deliver the child. Although neither of us can live, I also hope that he can be born.”
Bai Hongmei looked pleading.
Su Kuo grinned. “Alright, I agree, but—”
Su Kuo took out his sword and stabbed her again.
Under Bai Hongmei’s shocked expression, he said coldly, “But why aren’t you dead yet? You’ve said so much weakly, but you’re still alive. If you’re dead, I’ll help you get the child out.”
As he spoke, Su Kuo pulled out his sword again and stabbed in again.
“Ahhhh—”
Bai Hongmei screamed. This damn brat. How could he be so detestable? He was really an evil thing. She had clearly acted so well, but he still didn’t believe her.
As Bai Hongmei screamed, her nails began to turn black. They grew three inches and she clawed at Su Kuo.
Su Kuo drew his sword and chanted a few times. His sword flashed. Then, he slashed at Bai Hongmei. Every time he hit her, Bai Hongmei would scream miserably.
In the end, he pierced Bai Hongmei’s heart with his sword before she turned into black smoke.
After the black smoke passed, Bai Hongmei’s clothes were tattered. Looking at her again, she no longer looked like before, only a skeleton was left.
Su Kuo put away his sword and sighed. “Sister was right.”
Clap, clap, clap.
Su Xiaolu clapped and praised with a smile, “Little Kuo is awesome.”
“Collect her corpse. We might be able to receive an award when we enter the city.”
Su Xiaolu pointed at Bai Hongmei’s skeleton rack and said. There were many demons and ghosts now. If she eliminated some demons and brought evidence, she could take them to the government office to receive the award.
No matter why she passed away when she was alive, it was wrong for her to harm others after she died. She might be innocent, but so were the people she had harmed.
Bai Hongmei was quite capable. She should have killed before. If anyone knew about her, there would be a reward recorded by the government office.
Su Kuo nodded. He went forward and put away Bai Hongmei’s corpse with a cloth before going down the mountain with Su Xiaolu.
On the way, Su Kuo said to Su Xiaolu, “Sister, I just analyzed a few points. Tell me if I’m right.”
Su Kuo told Su Xiaolu his guesses. Su Xiaolu listened carefully and nodded. “Yes, Little Kuo’s guess is very correct. Although things are unpredictable, they are time-dependent. In this situation, if she really loves her child, she shouldn’t have returned to her maiden home so willfully. Little Kuo is awesome. He’s getting smarter and smarter.”
Su Kuo had improved, but the first time he improved, he was actually deceived by a ghost.
Su Kuo was very happy to be acknowledged.
Taking advantage of the night, the siblings entered Furongzhou.
They first went to look at the bounty announcement. On the announcement, Su Xiaolu saw a match.
Bai Hongmei had argued with her husband and returned to her maiden home. She gave birth halfway and died on the way back to the city. Before she could be buried, her corpse disappeared. Later, someone saw a pregnant woman giving birth and asking for help. The kind person helped her and lost their life.
Her whereabouts were uncertain. She only appeared in the forests in the evening and they could not catch her. However, the way to avoid her was simple. It was fine as long as people ignored her because Bai Hongmei would not chase after them.
The reward for killing this demon was ten taels of silver.
After Su Kuo finished reading, he sighed. “I knew it. Under normal circumstances, she would have chosen to return to the city. Unfortunately, she couldn’t hold on…”
Su Kuo understood a little about human nature. As long as a person had a good option, it was impossible for them not to choose it. No matter what kind of choices they had, they would only choose the best one. It was impossible for them to not choose it.
“Her husband is really detestable. His wife is pregnant. How can he let her leave the city alone!”
Su Kuo was a little angry.
Su Xiaolu smiled and pointed. “Little Kuo, look, he’s already been punished.”
At the bottom of the announcement, it was written that Bai Hongmei’s husband had caused Bai Hongmei to hold a grudge because of his own selfishness. In the end, she became a demon ghost and harmed people. He was sentenced to exile and his family’s wealth was compensated to the victims.
