My chat group is full of female losers

Chapter 387 The real trump card

The gentle woman who had been following Fei Wu was none other than Ling Shi, Xie Ming Shu's birth mother.

Xie Mingshu stared blankly at that gentle figure and the face she had longed for day and night, as if all her senses had been severed at that moment.

Seeing Xie Mingshu's distraught appearance, Fei Wu's smile grew even more smug, her peach blossom eyes gleaming with undisguised malice. She hadn't summoned Ling Shi specifically to prove the heroine's high moral character, but rather to savor Xie Mingshu's suffering and enjoy the despair of being slowly tortured.

She turned her head and asked Ling Shi softly, "Oxygen Bao, I'm asking you. When your husband brought back the lost crown prince and lied that he was his illegitimate son, I deliberately didn't tell you the truth and forced you to sever all ties with him. Was I right?"

Madam Ling looked at Fei Wu with doting affection and dependence: "Yes."

Fei Wu's smile deepened as she continued to ask questions, each one like the most vicious curse in the world.

"I deliberately jumped into the lotus pond to slander Old Madam Xie and the others, making you completely despair of the entire Xie family. Wasn't I right?"

"Correct."

"I drove your mother away for you, causing you to sever ties with your family. Was I right?"

"Correct."

"I told you to keep your husband out of the house on a rainy night, to make him faint from a serious illness, to prove your loyalty. Did I do the right thing?"

"Correct."

"I bestow upon you the new name Ling Feizhu, erasing your past. Did I do the right thing?"

"Correct."

"I severed all your marital ties, leaving you all alone, leaving you with only me, making you see me as the sole purpose of your life, the source of your meaning, your...master." Fei Wu became more and more excited as she spoke, her twisted, excited, and vicious smile so ugly. "I made you my oxygen tank, to serve me tea and water, to attend to me, to witness my greatness. Did I do the right thing?"

"Correct."

With each answer Ling gave, Xie Mingshu's face grew paler. Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, her expression deepened with grief, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, Fei Wu smiled and asked one last question: "So, in your heart, who is number one?"

A gentle smile bloomed on Ling's face, as if the question required no thought at all: "What are you saying? It's naturally you."

Xie Mingshu could no longer hold on.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

She let out a bloodcurdling wail, her pain and resentment almost overflowing. Her face contorted in a rage as she glared at Fei Wu, roaring, "Beast! You beast! I'll kill you! I will definitely kill you! I'll tear you to pieces! I'll smash every bone in your body, crush every inch of your flesh! I'll make sure your soul never finds peace! I swear! I swear! Ahhhhhh!"

Seeing Xie Mingshu's frenzied state, Fei Wu revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

The Third Princess, Changhong, and Si Ren, who were standing to the side, also revealed mocking smirks.

Fei Wu seemed unsatisfied, and shook her head again, saying, "However, what you said before wasn't entirely wrong. It's just that nice words aren't enough; actions speak louder than words. So..."

Fei Wu turned to Ling Shi and handed her the small knife that she had taken from Xie Ming Shu.

Her smile was sinister: "Go and kill her."

Xie Mingshu was stunned.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling took the knife and looked at Xie Mingshu not far away.

At that moment, the madness on Xie Mingshu's face faded, leaving only indescribable pain.

She shook her head, almost pleading, "No, please don't...please. Don't...let someone else do it, anyone will do, just not you..."

A hint of pity flashed in Ling's eyes. She sighed softly, but did not give up. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Although I have no grudge against you, Shu'er wants me to kill you. I have no choice. I can't let her be sad. She's all I have left."

Xie Mingshu was stunned.

She looked at Ling Shi, and tears unexpectedly streamed down her face.

“…It’s not Shu’er,” she suddenly whispered.

Ling was stunned: "What did you say?" The next moment, Xie Mingshu completely exploded.

She cried out like a helpless child, "She's not Shu'er! I am Shu'er! Mother, I am Shu'er!"

At this moment, the pain that had been building up in her heart for so long poured out like a torrent. Her words were incoherent, yet they were filled with thick and intense emotions.

“I’m watching you, I’ve been watching you the whole time. Inside that doll, I’m watching you get deceived by her little by little, forgetting me, forgetting your father… I’m in so much pain… I hate it so much…”

"Mother! Do you know? After she left, the whole world collapsed. Wars and natural disasters came one after another. Nobody could survive. Father died! Mother Bai died too! Everyone was killed because of her! Father died without knowing why he lived such a miserable life! Mother Bai died without ever hearing me call her 'Mother'! Mother! It was all her doing! It was all her fault! Why did you help her? Why!?"

Xie Mingshu cried her heart out.

Hearing this, Madam Ling looked completely confused: "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Pfft."

Upon hearing this, Fei Wu couldn't help but chuckle.

The Third Princess and the others behind her chuckled. They looked at Xie Mingshu as if she were a clown putting on a great show, using her endless sorrow to amuse them.

But at that moment, Ling's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Xie Mingshu, who was in pain, and a trace of pain suddenly appeared in the confusion on her face.

"How strange. Why?" she murmured, "Why do I feel sad too when I see you so sad? I..."

The pain on her face intensified, as if her skull had been forcibly pried open with a tool. She clutched her head with both hands, her body trembling violently.

Not only her, but also Khedun, Yun Que, and Xiao Cui, who were standing behind the Third Princess, Chang Hong, and Si Ren, showed the same painful and struggling expressions at almost the same time.

"what happened?"

The leading ladies were all surprised and bewildered as their respective followers suddenly seemed to have fallen ill.

"What's wrong with you all?" Si Ren screamed.

But they were in so much pain that their teeth clenched so tightly they trembled, and they couldn't make a sound at all.

Just as they were at a loss, on the other side, Chu Lu, who had been watching coldly, slowly curled up a smile on his face.

It wasn't the ecstatic joy of encountering an unexpected accident, but rather the calm, cold laugh of a successful scheme.

Qin Su made a mistake.

That means Chu Lu wasn't lying to her; he really didn't intend to rely on Xie Mingshu.

He repeated it silently in his mind.

—I will never entrust my fate to someone else.

Meanwhile, in another world: the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Cult.

Upon hearing Shen Miaomiao's earth-shattering answer, Hua Honglian stood frozen in place, as if thunder were booming in her ears, or as if she were witnessing the extraordinary sight of a blind turtle on a floating log.

The chat group owner before him?

Her first instinctive reaction was to immediately inform Chu Lu and Qin Su.

However, as soon as she opened the chat group interface, a system notification popped up on the screen.

You have been banned and are temporarily unable to speak.

Hua Honglian was immediately shocked.

--What's this!?

At this moment, Shen Miaomiao apologized softly, "I'm sorry. But I can't let you tell anyone about what happened here before you give me an answer."

Hua Honglian suddenly snapped out of her daze. She looked up at Shen Miaomiao with a mixture of wariness and confusion, and asked, "What answer? What do you want me to do?"
