Chapter 253: When She Dies, I’ll Die

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Sanniang stopped chanting, and Granny Zhou’s pained expression eased.

She looked at Liu Sanniang. Her vertical pupils gradually disappeared, but her gaze was still very chilling.

She looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “I won’t do evil. I feed on evil. No matter where I need to go, what I need to do, I will find Zhou Yunyi. When she dies, I die.”

Granny Zhou walked up to Zhang Tianyou and dragged him down the mountain. His face was pale from the pain and he looked at Liu Sanniang hatefully.

He already regretted it. If he had waited for two more years, he might not have ended up in this situation.

Liu Sanniang saw a steady stream of vitality coming out of Zhang Tianyou’s body and returning to the world. There was also a golden light that flew into Liu Sanniang’s body.

Granny Zhou dragged Zhang Tianyou to the government and claimed that he was making poisonous worms to harm people. Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang who responded with a nod.

Zhang Tianyou opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. When the constables searched his body, they found jars and bottles filled with all kinds of worms.

Granny Zhou was a little disgusted. She no longer needed to use a walking stick. With Zhou Yunyi’s spiritual sense gone, this body was under her control. Her old face could not be restored but it didn’t matter to the python. This body was just a container to her.

No matter where Zhou Yunyi went, she would find her and kill her. When Zhou Yunyi died, she would end her life.

Zhang Tianyou was dragged into the cell. He looked like he was about to die, but he still managed to sustain one last breath.

After Liu Sanniang told Wei Shilai what happened, she prepared to go home. As soon as she left the government office, she saw that Granny Zhou was still waiting for her from afar. Liu Sanniang walked over and Granny Zhou said, “26th December, I can give you a big gift.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Granny Zhou. “You and the Wang family…”

Granny Zhou said calmly, “It’s not me and the Wang family. It’s Zhou Yunyi who reached an agreement with the Wang family. What Zhou Yunyi wants are the lives of Zhu Zongyang and his daughter. What the Wang family wants is Zhu Yan’s soul and the marriage between Zhu Yan and the Wang family’s dead eldest son. Zhou Yunyi is the same as Zhang Tianyou. If she wants to live, she needs endless faith and vitality. You should know very well how to obtain these things.”

Granny Zhou looked at Liu Sanniang. “You can’t change the karma in this world. There’s no karma on me, so don’t come after me.”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “What if I say I’ll help you?”

Granny Zhou was stunned. “What did you see?”

Liu Sanniang replied calmly. “Your soul will disperse.”

Granny Zhou’s eyes turned vertical at a visible speed. She fixed her eyes at Liu Sanniang for a long time before answering her. “If this is Heavenly punishment, then I’ll accept it. I don’t need others to help me.”

Liu Sanniang did not speak and Granny Zhou turned around and left.

Five days later, there was a stench coming from the cell. The constable went in to check and found that Zhang Tianyou was rotting away. The stench was coming from him, but he was still alive.

He lasted for six days before he died. As soon as he died, Wei Shilai immediately got someone to cremate him, which was what Liu Sanniang had instructed him to do.

During late December, Liu Sanniang would cook a few good dishes every day. Seeing that Liu Sanniang was at home, Madam Wei felt relieved.

In her heart, Madam Wei did not want Liu Sanniang to go out because every time she went out, it meant that there was a case.

Madam Wei called Chu Yan over for dinner. Each time Chu Yan came over, Liu Sanniang would receive a lot of snacks.

Seeing how thoughtful Chu Yan was, Madam Wei couldn’t stop smiling.

After dinner, Chu Yan stood up to go home. Madam Wei pushed Liu Sanniang out and asked her to send Chu Yan out of the alley.

Liu Sanniang walked beside Chu Yan. He held her hand and asked. “What are you thinking about?”

Chu Yan could tell that Liu Sanniang was distracted, so he pinched her palm.

Before Liu Sanniang could speak, Chu Yan continued. “Are you thinking about karma?”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

What was karma? The answer she gave Wu Ju was that everything in the world was karma. For example, what happened in River Village was karma. Jiang Bing, Liu Ju’er’s stepmother, and the person who replaced Zhao Anhuai did something evil first before karma found them.

People in Huanghu Village did something evil too, and Wu Ju took revenge, which made him good and evil rolled into one.

If not for the evildoings of Huanghu villagers, Wu Ju would have been brought up by Huang Xianxian to become a mountain god to protect the land.

As for the python, if it did not meet Zhou Yunyi, it would become a dragon. However, when Zhou Yunyi saw it, she coveted its long life-span and killed it.

Liu Sanniang had already become a Buddha when she started cultivating. It was her mission and responsibility to exorcize the evil in the world.

Chu Yan pinched her palm gently. “Sanniang, you’ve already done a great job.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. His ink-black eyes were filled with tenderness. “You helped Zhou Mingzhu remember her real identity. You helped in retrieving First Madam Zhou’s innocence. These are all good karma. Jiang Bing, Liu Ju’er, and Sun Yarou are all good karma.”

Chu Yan curled his lips and said in a gentle voice, “Karma is predestined. Those who are evil will become good people, and those who are good will also become evil people with a thought. The world is divided into Yin and Yang. There is good and evil. What you want is a balance, not a complete elimination.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan and felt enlightened. She said gratefully, “Chu Yan, thank you.”

He pinched Liu Sanniang’s palm again and rubbed her head before leaving. He knew that it was against the heavens to interfere too much, but if he didn’t interfere, how could she walk out of her confusion?

If she was lost, he would regret it.

With Chu Yan’s reminder, Liu Sanniang indeed understood that good and evil in the world were one. What was needed was a balance rather than elimination. She should be firm in her belief of what she knew to be right and wrong.

26th December.

The Wang family and the Zhu family held a grand banquet. Liu Sanniang went over with the invitation. She did not bring anything. When she saw Chu Yan, Liu Sanniang smiled.
