Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Ling continued to humiliate Xiao Ying with words, but Xiao Ying still did not respond at all.

Although he didn't know how Xiao Ling found this place, Xiao Ying felt that Xiao Ling came here deliberately to mock him.

In that case, just ignore it.

Click!

Suddenly, Xiao Ying heard four breaking sounds almost at the same time, and his broken hands and feet were obviously freed from their restraints. Without the support of the chains, Xiao Ying's face suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiao Ying opened her eyes in astonishment and turned to look at her hands and feet that had been freed from their restraints. Before she could understand what was happening, Xiao Ling grabbed the back of her collar, dragged her out of the prison, and walked towards the ground.

This scene made Xiao Ying completely stunned. He turned his head blankly and looked at Xiao Ling's back.

What on earth is she going to do?

Before Xiao Ying could come to her senses, Xiao Ling, who was dragging her out of the underground prison, glanced around and confirmed that there was no one else. He stepped on the void, avoiding everyone's sight and returned home. After closing the bedroom door, he threw Xiao Ying to the floor.

Xiao Ying, whose hands and feet were broken, sat up with difficulty and stared at Xiao Ling in front of him, his eyes revealing strong confusion and vigilance.

Xiao Ling folded his arms and looked down at Xiao Ying. Feeling her strength, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"The peak of Douhuang, huh~ It seems that you have consumed a lot of elixirs over the years."

In that kind of prison, trapped by the chains that bound his Dou Qi, Xiao Ling didn't think that Xiao Ying had developed this strength on his own. Combined with the elixirs that the Xiao clan's holy guards had frequently sent to the basement, it is easy to imagine how Xiao Ying gained his current strength as a Dou Huang.

"Hmph! Fighting with you now, there's no point in winning."

Xiao Ling curled her lips coldly, turned around, opened the bedroom door, and called out loudly.

"Xiao Qiu!"

Not long after Xiao Ling finished speaking, a Dou Wang-level maid came to the bedroom.

Xiao Ying also knew this person. She was a maid who had served Xiao Ling since she was a child and was also the person closest to Xiao Ling besides the Great Elder.

When Xiao Qiu saw Xiao Ying sitting on the floor in the bedroom with a dirty face, he was stunned at first, then he bowed his head and asked Xiao Ling respectfully.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

"Please fetch me a bucket of water so I can give this guy a good bath."

Xiao Ling pointed at Xiao Ying. Because Xiao Ying had changed so much, Xiao Qiu did not recognize this once favored girl.

What puzzled Xiao Ying was that Xiao Qiu was clearly a servant, but Xiao Ling actually used honorifics?

"Yes."

Xiao Qiu bent down and responded obediently to his mistress's order.

Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This is the experience Xiao Qiu has learned from serving Xiao Ling since she was a child. No matter how strange Xiao Ling's request is, she just needs to do it.

After a while, Xiao Qiu brought in a bathtub that could accommodate an adult and placed it in the bedroom. He then came to Xiao Ying, squatted down and took off her worn clothes.

When he saw Xiao Ying's body, Xiao Qiu's expression suddenly froze.

He was so thin, almost skin and bones! There were many wounds on his body, obviously he had been tortured before.

How could the young lady know such a person? Or how could the Xiao clan have such a person?

Questions filled Xiao Qiu's mind. No matter how badly the Xiao clan members were doing, it shouldn't have come to this point, right?

Then Xiao Qiu came back to her senses, reached out her hand to support Xiao Ying and prepared to let her enter the wooden barrel, but then she discovered a fact that shocked her.

This man's hands and feet were all broken.

"too slow."

Just as Xiao Qiu was stunned, Xiao Ling, who was watching from the side, had impatience in her eyes. She came to Xiao Ying, grabbed Xiao Ying's neck in front of Xiao Qiu's stunned gaze, and threw her into the bathtub.

Xiao Ling's sudden movement caught Xiao Ying off guard. He turned over in the bathtub and was choked by the water, starting to cough violently.

"This guy hasn't showered in five years. Wash her clean."

Xiao Ling gave the order, and Xiao Qiu quickly responded, standing beside the bathtub to help Xiao Ying wash her body and hair. Having served Xiao Ling for a long time, she was already very familiar with this kind of thing.

As Xiao Ying was slowly cleaned, the face covered by dust gradually recovered, and Xiao Qiu was able to see her appearance clearly.

The next moment, Xiao Qiu's expression suddenly showed shock.

Although he was too thin and his skin was extremely pale, wasn't this face Xiao Ying, who was taken away and disappeared five years ago? !

Although Xiao Qiu didn't understand why Xiao Ying, who had disappeared for five years, appeared in Xiao Ling's bedroom, as a servant, she still said the same thing.

Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask.

Xiao Ling suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to help Xiao Ying clean his body with a normal expression. During this time, Xiao Ling also roughly fed pills into Xiao Ying's mouth. Xiao Ying, whose hands and feet were broken and who was a whole level lower than Xiao Ling, could not resist at all and could only swallow them all.

Afterwards, Xiao Ying felt that his body began to recover significantly. His broken hands and feet began to heal, the scars on his body gradually faded, and his pale skin gradually regained its color.

Xiao Ying knew what those pills were without Xiao Ling's explanation.

But this made Xiao Ying even more confused. Why did Xiao Ling rescue him from the underground prison? Not only did she order the servants to bathe him, but she also fed him healing pills. What was she doing for this?

While Xiao Ying was so confused, Xiao Qiu also cleaned her body. Seeing Xiao Ying coming out of the bath, he couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

What a perfect body, what a perfect face.

If this wasn't the case with the Xiao clan, which absolutely advocates the survival of the fittest, Xiao Ying's natural talent alone would have been enough to allow him to live a pretty good life.

Xiao Ling pinched her chin lightly and looked up and down at Xiao Ying's beautiful body with interest.

"Huh~~~ Although you've become a waste, this body is indeed quite attractive. If you are thrown out, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to pick you up and take you back as a slave."

Xiao Ling's words still did not move Xiao Ying at all. Xiao Ling felt bored. He glanced at the bucket of dirty black water, looked at Xiao Qiu and spoke softly.

"Go and pour out this bucket of water. It's too dirty to keep it in the house."

"I'm so sorry! I'll take care of it right away!"

Xiao Qiu came back to his senses, responded quickly, and was about to leave the bedroom with the bathtub. Before leaving, Xiao Ling added another sentence.

"Come back after you've cleaned up that water pipe."

"Yes."

After Xiao Qiu left, Xiao Ying stared at Xiao Ling closely and slowly opened her mouth. She had not spoken for five years, so she asked in a deep voice with a slightly stiff and hoarse voice.

"Why did you save me?"

No matter who rescued him from prison, even if Xiao Wuyun suddenly had a change of heart and recognized him as his daughter and released him, Xiao Ying would not be so confused.

But Xiao Ying couldn't understand why Xiao Ling saved him.

Xiao Ling had been unhappy with him since childhood, and her behavior had become even worse since he became a loser. Xiao Ying could not think of any reason why Xiao Ling would save him.

"You can talk? I thought you were dumb after being locked up for five years." Xiao Ling raised his eyes playfully, then a conceited smile appeared on his face. He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Ying's neck and lifted her up in the air. "Why did I save you? Is there any need to ask? Of course it was to win you over!"

Being strangled by the neck and lifted in the air by Xiao Ling, who was at the peak of Dou Zong level, Xiao Ying, who was at the peak of Dou Huang level, was unable to resist at all and was filled with confusion in his heart.

Even though Xiao Ling answered her, Xiao Ying still couldn't understand the logic behind her behavior. It was even more incomprehensible than when she was arrogant and humiliated him before.

At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open again, and Xiao Qiu, who had finished cleaning the bathtub, walked in. He saw Xiao Ying being held in the air by Xiao Ling by the neck, and his shoulders trembled suddenly.

What's going on?

Soon, Xiao Qiu's expression returned to normal. He stood up and bowed slightly towards Xiao Ling.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Ling glanced at Xiao Qiu, loosened his grip and put Xiao Ying down. When Xiao Ying covered her neck and coughed violently, Xiao Ling came to Xiao Qiu and looked at her seriously.

"Xiao Qiu."

"exist."

Xiao Qiu raised his head and met Xiao Ling's sincere eyes. Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Thank you for taking care of me all these years. Without you, my daily life would be a mess."

These words were spoken from the bottom of Xiao Ling's heart. Although she was talented in cultivation, in terms of daily life, even ten of her could not keep up with Xiao Qiu, the maid.

When Xiao Qiu heard Xiao Ling's sincere thanks, he was stunned at first, then panic appeared on his face and he waved his hands quickly.

"Miss, you don't have to do this. This is what Xiao Qiu should do."

Looking at Xiao Qiu's respectful look, Xiao Ling lowered his eyebrows and spoke again leisurely.

"Xiao Qiu, I want to borrow something from you."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xiao Qiu replied without thinking.

"Miss, please go ahead and tell me. Xiao Qiu won't have the slightest... Ugh!!!"

Xiao Qiu's words came to an abrupt end, and Xiao Ying's pupils shrank even more. She looked at Xiao Ling in front of her in horror. Her hand had already pierced Xiao Qiu's chest!

Xiao Qiu's pupils trembled, and he lowered his head slightly, watching Xiao Ling slowly pull his hand out of his chest, tightly holding a blood-red beating heart in his hand.

Then, Xiao Ling's cruel and ruthless words reached Xiao Qiu's ears.

"Lend me everything you have."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling clenched his palms suddenly, and the heart in his hand exploded. The blood that splashed towards Xiao Ling was blocked outside his body by Xiao Ling's fighting spirit, and fell slowly like water hanging on the wall.

Xiao Qiu, on the other hand, was infected by the blood bursting from his own heart. His eyes gradually became dull and he looked at Xiao Ling, a maid who had treated him like a sister since childhood, in pain and confusion.

A final helpless whimper emanated from his mouth.

"Miss, why?"

Xiao Qiu didn't even finish the last sentence, and his body fell to the ground weakly. His eyes were wide open, as if he could not rest in peace.

She didn't understand what she had done to make Xiao Ling, who had always treated her kindly, suddenly kill her.

And she will never know the answer to this question.

"Sleep peacefully, Xiao Qiu, you have worked really hard these years."

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Qiu, who was lying on the ground with his eyes open, and said these words from the bottom of his heart.

Then he waved his hand and completely wiped out Xiao Qiu's body and soul.

She really cared about Xiao Qiu. In her eyes, Xiao Qiu was more like her only friend than a maid. Even compared to her grandfather, Xiao Qiu undoubtedly meant more to her.

Whoever dares to touch Xiao Qiu will be killed by her!

Xiao Qiu is, in a real sense, the person he values ​​the most.

But this did not prevent Xiao Ling from taking her life.

It's not for anything else, it's just that Xiao Ling needs Xiao Qiu to die and disappear forever in order to achieve her own goal, that's all.

Xiao Ying was also looking at the scene in astonishment. She could never have imagined that Xiao Ling would actually kill Xiao Qiu with her own hands!

At this moment, Xiao Ling slowly turned his head, staring coldly at Xiao Ying with a crazy light in his eyes.

"Xiao Ying, remember this for me."

"From this moment on, you are Xiao Qiu."

"Your face, your name, your life, everything about you, now all belongs to me."

Xiao Ling turned around slowly, walked in front of Xiao Ying, squatted slightly, grasped her hair tightly, forced her to look into his eyes, and laughed wildly.

"Try your best to take these back from me! Until your body and soul are gone!!!"

Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ling's eyes, flashing with crimson madness, like a nightmare, telling herself the way to go next.

Looking at her crazy eyes, Xiao Ying was really scared for a moment.

However, immediately afterwards, Xiao Ying's eyes became clear and he stared at Xiao Ling intently.

Coldly, he responded.

"I will, miss."

Bang! ! !

Inside the clan leader's mansion, in the underground prison, several Xiao clan holy guards were standing here trembling with fear.

In front of them, Xiao Wuyun's face was extremely dark. He stared at the destroyed prison in front of him, which was now empty. His biological daughter, Xiao Ying, was nowhere to be seen.

Damn it! Who is it? ! Who took her away? ! !

Xiao Wuyun's mind began to waver unconsciously, and the Xiao clan's strongest and majestic aura in his body kept rising, causing the hearts of the surrounding Xiao clan's holy guards to begin to vibrate violently. Several low-level Dou Zuns could not withstand this powerful pressure, and their hearts skipped a beat, foaming at the mouth, and they fainted on the ground.

"Where's the person! Where's the person?! Where's the person you showed me?!"

Xiao Wuyun roared wildly, and the captain of the Xiao clan's holy guard forced himself to calm down and stood out tremblingly.
