I was humiliated in a world dominated by women

Although you don't make much money from selling flowers, it is still a way to make a living.

......

"Hey~ little boy, you are so young and you are selling flowers."

An old aunt with a pale face but a plump figure bent down and looked at the little boy in a gray cotton shirt in front of her with a smile.

"Little boy, what's your name?" She tried to make her voice sound as childish and approachable as possible.

The little boy was about ten years old, with a round face and a pretty and cute appearance. He was a little shy, so he lowered his head and whispered, "My name is... Yuan."

"Ah, A Yuan? What a cute name." The old lady said with a smile, looking at the little boy's jaw with cloudy eyes. He was wearing such tight clothes in the hot weather, and the crystal sweat beads slid down his jaw into his white neck...

She continued to look down and saw the flower basket in the boy's hand. She smiled and said, "There are so many purple bell flowers. Auntie likes purple bell flowers. Can I buy them all?"

"Ah?" The little boy looked up in surprise, then stammered happily but uncertainly, "Really?"

"nature."

The woman with a sallow complexion smiled and nodded, then reached for her waist to take out the money. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. Then she patted her head as if she suddenly realized something.

"Look at Auntie's poor memory. She almost forgot that she left her purse at home."

She narrowed her cloudy eyes, stared at A Yuan sincerely, and said with a smile, "Little boy, my house is on the street behind. Why don't you go home with me and I'll give you some money."

As she spoke, she leaned forward, and two sets of car headlights hit the little boy directly in front of him. The boy was a little at a loss and subconsciously took a step back.

"Let's go." The old aunt grabbed the little boy's hand and squeezed it subconsciously. It was so soft ~ hehe ~ Then she smiled and was about to pull him away.

His cute little face turned red, he hummed and pulled his hand out, lowered his head and stammered in panic, "No, no, Auntie, I, I'll just stay here and wait for you."

The woman frowned, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "But Auntie is too lazy to make another trip. If you don't accompany Auntie home, Auntie won't buy flowers."

Hearing this, the little boy looked a little conflicted, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then... forget it then."

Although he is only ten years old, he was sensible at the age of seven or eight. His sister and mother told him not to follow strangers casually, especially some older and weird aunts!

He knew that these strange aunties might do something weird and bad to him, so he always remained vigilant. When he went out to sell flowers, he followed the instructions of his sister and mother and got his face dirty.

But today, something unexpected happened.

It had just rained heavily and he accidentally fell into a pool of water, facing the ground with his face towards the water. After getting up, before he had the time to dirty his face again, he ran into this customer who wanted to buy all his flowers.

"Little boy, are you really not going home with your aunt to get the money?"

The smile in the old woman's cloudy eyes gradually faded, and a cold light rose.

"No, not anymore."

The little boy didn't notice her gaze, but he felt a little flustered subconsciously. He bowed politely to the woman and said, "Forget it, Auntie, I, I won't buy it..." He said a little flusteredly, then turned around with the flower basket and wanted to run away.

But his wrist was grabbed by the woman's big hand. His black pupils shrank like a little beast, and his body stiffened. The big hand was placed on his small shoulder. The tall woman's warm breath came to his ear, and her smile was cold.

"Auntie, I'm really going to be angry~"

23. Mother

The streets are bustling with people, a lively scene.

But no one noticed that in the deserted alley, under the dilapidated high walls,

The helpless boy was being hugged by a tall middle-aged woman.

“Nu~~Nu!! Let-let me go~~”

The struggle and the low cries of a little animal only aroused the woman's wolf nature more, and she touched him all over and laughed lustfully.

Because she was too excited, the woman's pale face flushed. She licked her cracked lips, feeling itchy and ready to kill the disobedient little beast on the spot.

bang bang bang-

The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps created a huge splash on the water. The woman's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously turned her head to see who was coming.

But the man's fist had already reached her face. She felt that her nose was about to be bent. The pain was piercing, and she fell into the water with a dizzy head.

"Who! Looking for death!!"

Cursing coldly, she quickly turned over and saw a girl in gray shirt standing in front of the boy with her fists clenched and her waist bent like a lioness, staring at her with fierce eyes.

Her pupils shrank. The girl was wearing a gray shirt embroidered with the word "Fulin". She was obviously from Fulin Bookstore.

Fulin Bookstore has the background of the Immortal Palace, so even if there is only a servant inside, it is best not to provoke him if possible.

The old woman clenched her fists and lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was Fulin..."

"Get lost!" the girl interrupted her coldly.

The old lady choked, covered her bleeding nose, turned around and ran away quickly.

Although the girl wanted to beat up the old woman, it would be of no help. If she really pissed her off, it would only put her brother in a more dangerous situation and he wouldn't be able to leave the house anymore.

“Ah…Sister…” The little boy lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty that he had brought trouble to his family again.

Gillian sighed and ruffled the boy's hair. She couldn't bear to be angry with her brother, so she said softly, "This is a lesson for you. Remember to be more careful next time."

Being harassed by the old woman was just a small episode. With Gillian's help, Yuan sold all the flowers this afternoon and had a good harvest.

The siblings returned home.

The house they lived in was very shabby. It was a rented house hidden in the deepest alley. The roof leaked all year round, and the windows creaked and leaked even on rainy days. The damp walls were peeling off, and the whole house was empty with only a few pieces of furniture.

There was a slight stench of livestock in the air, coming from the pig farm next door.

"came back."

A middle-aged woman with a gentle smile was sitting on a chair, carefully making candied haws.

Because of her weak waist and bad legs, my mother seldom went out, so she made candied haws and bell flowers at home and gave them to her daughter and son to sell. This was their family's source of income in the past.

But now that my daughter has become successful and found a way to get a job in a library, the business of selling things has naturally been handed over to my son.

The mother saw that the siblings were carrying many bags and asked in confusion, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"Today is mom's birthday, and I want to celebrate for you." Gillian said excitedly.

"Birthday? How old am I? Why should I celebrate my birthday?" Mother was helpless and spoke in a reproachful tone, but the happiness in her eyes could not be concealed.

She rubbed the siblings' heads with a loving look in her eyes.

After a warm dinner, because of the damp night, my mother's old illness came back and she ached all over.

Gillian looked at her mother's painful expression of gritting her teeth and frowning, and the idea of ​​moving house became stronger in her mind.

Now that I have a job as a library attendant, my life has started to get better.

The manager of the library said that if she worked for another two months, the money she would get would be doubled. If things continued like this, she only needed to work for another year or so to buy a new house on South Street.

No need to live in this dilapidated and damp old house with a pig shed next door.

Moreover, not only can he buy a new house, but he no longer has to eat one meal a day. He can eat two meals a day. Yuan is still growing, so it is important for him to keep up with nutrition.

In short, her life now is full of hope and she is full of expectations for the future.

Maybe in the future she could completely cure her mother's fear of tides. Well, by then she would definitely ask the Immortal King from the Immortal Palace to come and treat her mother!

Hmm~ I wonder how much money it would cost to hire those divine doctors... With such wild thoughts, she gradually fell asleep with a smile on her face.

But the next moment!

She suddenly opened her eyes and heard rustling noises in the dark room, just like when she saw Mr. Dongcao die during the day. An uneasy feeling spread in her heart.

what happened?

Is anyone up?

She turned her head and saw in the darkness not far away, her mother's blurry shadow was sitting up on the bed, with disheveled hair, back straight, like a zombie, motionless.

Crunchy——

The wind whistled into the broken window like a ghost's whisper, and the friction between the window frame and the wooden platform made a sharp and piercing sound.

For some reason, Mr. Dongcao's bloody head with his eyes open suddenly came into view. Gillian was terrified and her heartbeat stopped. The creaking sound of the window beside her ears became more and more like the creepy laughter of a vengeful spirit, getting louder and louder.

Click—Mother suddenly turned her head and looked at her!

"!!" It felt like countless people were screaming in her ears, and she almost lost her soul, because her mother's hair was disheveled and her eyes had no pupils, only creepy whites.

But soon, the dark and bright eyeballs fell out from under the eyelids, fell, and rolled around in the eye sockets, and finally returned to the center, staring at her steadily.

Mother threw back the quilt, got out of bed and walked towards her.

Walk slowly.

"!!" The screams and ghost whispers in her ears seemed to have disappeared, and she fell into tinnitus. In the dead silent world, the only sound was the footsteps of her mother approaching step by step.

Gillian suddenly woke up with a startled sound as her brother turned over and groaned beside her!

She couldn't think so much anymore. No matter what was going on with her mother now, she must not let her mother get close to this place.

She gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage from somewhere, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and rushed to the stove.

However, before she could get the kitchen knife, there was a sound of breaking air behind her, "Bang——"

She was kicked against the wall, and the already peeling wall suddenly collapsed with several cracks. She coughed up blood in pain, and before she could slide down the wall, her mother grabbed her neck and lifted her up high.

She moved her limbs around, her face purple as she struggled, and her eyes met her mother's.

It was still the same kind and gentle face as my mother's, but her eyes were very strange, as if a god was looking at an ant, indifferent to everything.

"Who - are - you!!" She was terrified and angry, angry that her mother had been replaced by this monster without her knowing!

Maybe my mother has died a long time ago?!

Listening to Gillian's hateful questioning, the mother's cold face smiled, "Who else can I be? I am your mother, Gillian."

As she spoke, the flesh on her arm split open and a bone sickle quickly grew out, and she swung the knife down.

The girl's head fell to the ground.

Before he died, his eyes were wide open, revealing an unwilling emotion of incomprehensible hatred, as well as a hint of melancholy and worry.

It's a pity that I don't have the chance to buy a new house for my mother... And what about Yuan? What will he do alone in the future...

Thoughts gradually fade away.

The mother casually threw the headless female corpse aside, then leaned over and pointed her index finger at the center of her daughter's eyebrows, and transparent streams of light were drawn out by her.

Those are Gillian's three souls and seven spirits, origin and destiny wheel.

The light followed the traction and was sucked into the mother's mouth.

At the same time, several sword lights came flying rapidly from the eastern sky. Her expression condensed slightly, and without hesitation, she broke through the window and disappeared under the moon.

In just a few breaths, several fairies dressed in black and white robes flew into the house on swords. After looking around, they saw the little boy curled up in the quilt, who had actually woken up and witnessed everything.

The little boy's terrified and dazed expression had not yet faded, but his worldview seemed to have completely collapsed.

A fairy saw a living person and said in surprise: "There is a witness, quickly inform the Palace Master!"

......

......

Not long after Gillian's tragic death, a fairy king in white and a green wolf demon came here.

The two people were Mu Nanfeng and Qing Xiaoxiao.

This little green wolf was very dishonest. She didn't do a good job of monitoring Youqin Yuze when she was asked to do so. Instead, she followed him secretly. When she was asked what she was doing there, she stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Mu Nanfeng was too lazy to pay attention to her and just followed her.

After spending five years totaling a million words in the Great Wilderness Tower with his three masters, Mu Nanfeng finally collected all ten Divine Source Stones.

He was originally planning to leave the Great Wilderness Tower, but his three masters suggested that he prepare a few more Divine Source Stones just in case. He felt that there was no need to be so cautious, but Qin Huali and Luo Shenyi simply ignored his advice.

He resisted!

The three masters saw that he was disobedient, so they turned him into the 'moonlight state' again, and then...

Another three years later.

Finally, after eight years, he had accumulated fifteen Divine Source Stones, and eight days had passed in the outside world. The cases of relatives killing each other had intensified in the past two days. The three major immortal palaces had some clues after two days of investigation, but they still could not solve this strange phenomenon.

So he had to seek help from Luoshen Palace.

Although the Chu'e could still fight for another five years, she was indeed a goddess with a strong sense of responsibility and gave up the siege of Mu Nanfeng.

Shortly after leaving the tower, Palace Master Youqin sent a message saying that a case with a surviving witness occurred in the outer city, so Mu Nanfeng came over.
