Chapter 81: Her unfathomable depths

Chapter 81: Her unfathomable depths

"Xiao Mei!"

Ling Xiaoxuan exclaimed upon seeing the nauseating pile of rotting flesh, which could induce nightmares for half a year with just one glance.

The rotting flesh remained motionless and silent.

Qin Ruan squinted her cold gaze and moved her fingertips slightly, causing a pale mist to penetrate into the bloody flesh.

The copper coin sword stuck in the bloody and putrid flesh flew up and returned to Qiao Nanyuan's hand.

The bright yellow talisman papers that had adhered to the ground were instantly ignited, turning into ashes.

The uncontrollable rotting flesh gradually transformed.

Under the gaze of everyone present, she slowly took on a normal human appearance with distinct facial features.

However, there was not a single article of clothing on her naked body, and there were some glaring ambiguous marks on her body, indicating that she had gone through something traumatic.

The scene was too shocking, so Qin Ruan took off a jacket from the nearest Ling family bodyguard and threw it to the puppet not far away.

The puppet was Xiao Mei, the woman who died while with Du Changheng earlier.

Xiao Mei draped the black jacket over her body, her gaze dark and focused on Du Changheng lying nearby.

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have a grudge with him?"

At this, Xiao Mei's colorless face suddenly turned fierce.

Her eyes bulged out, and her eyeballs slowly detached from their sockets. Her body was uncontrollably changing, seemingly on the verge of reverting to her state before her death.

Qin Ruan frowned as a nauseating feeling overtook her once again. "Get rid of that disgusting appearance!"

She couldn't stand any more disgusting scenes now.

If Xiao Mei showed her previously revolting appearance again, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't beat her to death.

About to erupt in anger, Xiao Mei, who couldn't control her transformation, sensed the killing intent emanating from Qin Ruan and immediately controlled her body's changes.

She looked at Qin Ruan with a frightened expression, her feet drifting uncontrollably to the side, trying to keep herself safe from her.

Qin Ruan: "You haven't answered my question yet."

As soon as she spoke, Xiao Mei's body trembled uncontrollably, clearly scared.

However, when she thought about the cause of her death, she glared angrily at Du Changheng.

"He killed me!"

Xiao Mei floated towards Du Changheng, her fingertips becoming sharp and emitting a thick black aura.

"He deceived me into thinking he would break off the engagement with Xiaoxuan, and I gave myself to him. But when things got dangerous, he pushed me out and let me die! Du Changheng deserves to die!"

Xiao Mei floated to Du Changheng's side, her nails emitting a black aura as they approached his neck.

Ling Xiaoxuan watched Xiao Mei's movements with an indifferent expression, her complex emotions difficult to hide.

It was like she was shocked, yet at the same time, she knew this would happen.

Du Changheng was not only good-looking but also came from a respectable family.

When Uncle Xiaoshu arranged for her to marry into the Du family, it was to ensure that she wouldn't be mistreated by her in-laws in the future. Even if she wanted to have affairs outside of her marriage, the Du family wouldn't dare to object.

In other words, the Du family was a place for her to escape the control of her family and live freely as long as she didn't commit any heinous crimes.

"Ah!"

Xiao Mei had murderous intent towards Du Changheng and attacked him.

Unfortunately, Du Changheng had a golden shield protecting him, and Xiao Mei was bounced back.

She fell to the ground at the feet of the withered wood woman.

When she saw the woman, Xiao Mei struggled to stand up, her pale face full of fear.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Xiao Mei knelt before the woman, appearing humble and pitiful.

"Heh!"

The withered wood woman coldly laughed, and a killing intent seeped from her blood-red eyes. Her withered skin contorted into a twisted expression.

The people who died in her hands posed no threat whatsoever.

The withered wood woman knew that Qin Ruan was the most influential person in the room since she was the only one with an immeasurable ability to slaughter all living beings.
