Shen Nian slowly said, "Your mother was only seventeen years old when she was abducted and sold to that small mountain village."

"That year she had just been admitted to university. During her summer vacation, she went on a graduation trip with her friends, but she was abducted and forcibly taken to a remote mountainous area."

"She begged your father to let her go, but obviously, traffickers won't be soft-hearted."

"The entire village acted as informants, watching her and not allowing her to show the slightest sign of escaping."

"She was forced to stay there. She had to work in the fields, take care of the traffickers' family, and endure the traffickers' beatings and rapes. In the end, she gave birth to you, a son. The traffickers' family was satisfied because their family line had been continued."

"During that time, she behaved very well and obediently. After having a child, they thought she wouldn't leave, and gradually gave her the opportunity to move around freely. But the mountain village couldn't hold her back. Even though she had been trafficked to that place for five years, she still didn't give up on leaving. Finally, when your father fell ill and your family was in chaos, she found an opportunity to leave. Why didn't she take you with her? Because if she had taken you with her, she would never have been able to leave that place. You are the trafficker's own son. If you stayed there, you could have grown up well."

"Of course, I don't think you deserve to be taken away by her and left to enjoy her so-called maternal love. You are a stain and proof of pain in a girl's life. You are the biological child of a human trafficker."

But the child is innocent after all...

The man seemed to agree, shouting, "But she's a mother! Can't she forgive my father for my sake and give me a complete family? She's heartless and ungrateful!"

Shen Nian sneered: "Of course the child is innocent, but what if it is because of this child that she has been trapped in the deep mountains for so many years, and can no longer escape? What if this child is the root of her suffering? I don't believe that a woman should give up her pain and all the emotions of living as a human being just because she has become a mother."

Why should she give up her happiness for you?

"After escaping that mountain village, she found her parents, returned to a normal life, passed the university entrance exam again, found a job, and met someone who truly loved her. Over the years, she didn't report you to the police, leaving a stain on your record and making you the son of a criminal. She has already done more than enough for you."

[This reminds me of a story from Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong rescued Princess Baihuaxiu and then killed the two children she had been forced to give birth to by a demon, so that she could return to her own country and continue being a princess, instead of being the mother of two demons...]

【this……】

The chat was silent, but the man still seemed unable to accept it.

"Can't you really tell me where she is right now?"

"Sorry, no."

Shen Nian said coldly, "She is very happy. Your appearance will only remind her of her nightmares."

"But I'm curious, why are you so eager to find her? You're an adult now, not a child who needs your mother's care anymore."

The man was taken aback.

He had intended to be vague, but when he met Shen Nian's calm, deep eyes, he inexplicably blurted out his thoughts: "...I'm getting married, and my partner minds that I don't have parents to help...take care of the children and the household."

Shen Nian gave a mocking laugh.

"Your father treated her as a breeding machine, and you treated her as a nanny or postpartum caregiver. You two are truly of the same selfish lineage."

The viewers in the live chat also realized what was going on.

[I fucked this guy, no wonder he's the son of a rapist.]

[It's fortunate his mother didn't take him with her, otherwise, this child who inherited such a violent gene might have grown up resenting her for taking him away and wanted to go back to his trafficker father!]

[Didn't you notice? After learning that his mother had been trafficked, he showed absolutely no sympathy or pity for her; only regret and resentment at not being able to find her.]

It's true that sons can never truly empathize with their mothers.

The man was speechless after Shen Nian's words. After a long while, he stubbornly replied, "You can't say things so harshly. Although my father did what he did, he had his reasons. If he could find a wife, who would be willing to do such an illegal thing? He just wanted to continue our family line..."

[Screw you! Did you eat shit with your mouth? Why are you spewing filth?]

[Dude, did you inherit some mental issues from your criminal father? Do human traffickers have grievances these days?]

I take back what I said earlier. This child is anything but innocent!

I'm 100% certain that if this person had known her mother was going to escape, he would have immediately told his father and family to go and capture her.

This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying! Inferior genes really are hereditary.

Girls dating this guy, be careful! He might have a history of crime and violence. It's best to stay away from him!

How good can a person be to his girlfriend and future wife if he can defend his father, a human trafficker, and objectify his mother?

[Exactly! Girls, you better be careful! Don't let this guy kidnap you and take you back to the mountains; you won't be able to escape then!]

【I'm going. Don't even mention it, what if the girl doesn't agree to be with him, and he gets angry and gets kidnapped?】

That's terrifying...

Shen Nian scoffed, "Would you dare say that to the police or a judge?"

"If you're really not thinking straight, I can figure out your father's name and your home address. How about I file a police report right now, accusing you of human trafficking in your area? What do you think?"

"you……"

The man's face flushed red and then turned pale with anger at the comments and Shen Nian's words—or perhaps he was frightened.

He abruptly hung up the call and disappeared from the live streaming platform.

But the viewers in the live stream weren't pushovers either.

He has a girl's profile picture on his homepage. Wait, I'll go remind his girlfriend right now.

Shen Nian shook her head and continued to draw the third divination.

The third couple to appear in the live stream were a middle-aged couple who appeared to be wealthy and well-maintained.

The woman wore a moon-white cheongsam and jade jewelry; she possessed an elegant demeanor and stunning beauty.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie. Although he was older, his features were still handsome, and he had gained a touch of the charm that comes with age.

"What do you two want to calculate?"

Shen Nian asked.

As she spoke, she felt her brow twitching wildly, and that bad premonition returned.

It was even more so than when Shen Leyao and Shen Yuhui appeared.

"We...want to find our daughter who disappeared eighteen years ago."

Shen Nian: ...

What happened?

Has she really turned this into a missing person notice office?

"Then show me your daughter's birth date and time and a photo."

She pressed her throbbing temples and said calmly.

It was the man who spoke.

As he announced his birth date, Shen Nian calculated the numbers.

Throughout this time, the woman kept looking at Shen Nian with a very strange gaze.

Shen Nian didn't pay any attention.

However, as she calculated, her brows furrowed.

...A phoenix destiny?

She actually plotted against herself.

When the man took out an old photograph, Shen Nian was already certain.

The little girl in the photo looks almost exactly like this body when it was a child.

The daughter they were looking for was her—no, the original owner of this body.

She now knew why she had this uneasy feeling.

This is the instinctive reaction of a cultivator when encountering people or things that are closely related to their own karma.
