3425 Internal Strife

Several times, Wang Limeng tried to lunge forward, but each time she was kicked away by the frenzied Jing Qiyao.

Wang Limeng knelt on the ground with a thud, beating the sand and wailing, "How could I have given birth to an animal like you! Animal, animal! You won't even spare your own sister!"

"What kind of evil karma have I, Wang Limeng, accumulated! Ahhh!" Her husband was unreliable, her most beloved youngest daughter couldn't be saved, and her usually quiet and seemingly obedient second daughter was now acting like a madwoman, opposing her. She hated it, she hated everyone in front of her to her core.

Wang Limeng took out a Soul Shattering Pill from her ring. After taking it, her aura began to rise steadily.

Jing Qiyao's heart skipped a beat. Clutching Jing Minyao's neck, she retreated a few steps, her eyes vigilantly glaring at her mother. Her voice, uncontrollably, sharpened a few degrees as she cried out, "Mother, don't you understand? Minmin can't be saved! Minmin already used the Soul Gathering Bell once; she simply cannot use it a second time!"

"Ah!! I'll kill you, you beast, I'll kill you!" Wang Limeng, her eyes bloodshot, lunged at Jing Qiyao and slapped her pale cheek.

A Mother's True Colors

Qiao Mu watched the scene unfolding before her, a look of astonishment on her face. She slightly parted her lips as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing, her small mouth tightly pursed.

Mo Lian looked down at her, pulled her into his arms, patted her gently, and said softly, "See, I told you this woman isn't our mother at all. Look at her selfish behavior; if she hadn't caused all this, how could her two daughters end up in such a situation of mutual destruction?"

Qiao Mu slowly nodded. Her mother, Wei Ziqin, despite knowing she wasn't her biological child, had treated her as her own for many years. It was just like the Third Madam Hua, who, despite her two illegitimate sons not being her own flesh and blood, still treated them like her biological children, protecting them fiercely like a hen protecting her chicks whenever something happened.

People have emotions; even if not biological, some connections are stronger than blood. If you treat your children well, it's impossible not to receive some return. While the Third Madam was a bit foolish and spoiling her children excessively wasn't good, Qiao Mu vaguely saw a shadow of her own mother in her. Coupled with the fact that Madam Hua wasn't as overly indulgent with her children as the Wang Limeng before her...

The Bitter End

On the day of the birthday banquet, Qiao Mu had actually spoken up to help Madam Hua, and for this very reason. "They're both her own daughters, yet her heart is so biased," Qiao Mu shook her head, speechless. This Wang Limeng was quite an oddity. Just because giving birth to one child was difficult, she had held a grudge against her for all these years...

Watching the two mother-daughter figures exchange blows, everyone felt somewhat speechless. Jing Minyao's corpse was now abandoned on the ground. After taking the pill, Wang Limeng's cultivation had greatly advanced, and Jing Qiyao was naturally no match for her. Before long, Jing Qiyao was pinned beneath Wang Limeng, taking slap after slap to the back of her head.

Jing Qiyao was knocked to the ground, her face and hair covered in blood, and she couldn't help but let out a hoarse, frantic scream. Gradually, her voice slowly faded. Wang Limeng was truly ruthless, delivering blow after blow, her eyes bloodshot and seemingly deranged, personally striking the back of her own daughter's head again and again.
