Chapter 5346: The Devil

Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu! One day, she, Mu Xiaoxue, would make her die without a burial place!

Mu Qingya knelt on the ground, pounding on the barrier in front of her, wailing in an unmelodious, dry cry.

"She's your cousin! Even for the sake of the old man, you can't treat her like this! Mu Qiao, you're not human, you're not human! Do you have a heart? Do you have a heart?!" Mu Qingya shrieked, the pain in her heart already beyond words. It felt as if someone had stabbed her dozens of times with a sharp, pointed knife, each strike nearly taking her life. She was in pain and sorrow, furious and helpless. Now, she was as insignificant as a grain of sand in the dust, letting others stomp her into the deep abyss with a forceful kick.

Mo Lian sneered. "Heh, you still have the nerve to ask if Qiao Qiao has a heart? When you meticulously plotted against her in the Lower Star Domain, targeted her, harmed her mother, and didn't even spare her, did you consider the old man's sake? Did you consider that blood kinship, and let Qiao Qiao off?"

"Now that you've lost, completely defeated, you say such things. Do you think anyone will sympathize with you or pity you?"

Mu Qingya lay on the ground, lost in a daze.

Qiao Mu, however, let out a soft laugh, her eyes calmly watching her.

"Mu Qingya, does it hurt?"

Mu Qingya shivered all over, looking at the girl with a hint of disbelief. This was the third time she had asked her that question. Her chaotic mind suddenly connected the dots, and her body couldn't stop trembling. "It's you! It's you!"

"It's me," Qiao Mu nodded. "It was I who step-by-step destroyed your precious daughter's sanity, step-by-step forced her to go to Heavenly Fate, find the high-ranking officials, and ask for the mutated pills."

"It was I who made her feel the injustice of fate, the tragic life, and the hopeless future in this world."

"And it was also I who was slowly destroying her will. Look how much she hates you now."

"Wow, to be so deeply hated by your own biological daughter, whom you raised with your own hands. To be pointed at and cursed so wildly!" Qiao Mu raised her hand and lightly touched her chest. "Does it hurt here? Does it feel like you want to die? Do you really want to die right now?"

She pursed her small lips and smiled. She probably didn't even remember how many times she had smiled today. However, her smile always stopped at the corners of her mouth and never reached the depths of her eyes.

"Mu Qingya, Hall Master Mu. My good stepmother, do you understand now? Do you know what my mother felt back then?"

"That dreadful feeling of being rejected by everyone, having no siblings, no friends, no lover, and not even being able to protect your own children, right? Hmm?" Qiao Mu suddenly burst out laughing.

"Do you like it? Do you like being treated this way?" Qiao Mu tilted her head, asking innocently, "My mother, my mother also experienced this feeling."

"When she was in heaven, she couldn't protect me. She could only watch helplessly as I became an experimental subject, manipulated by you, like a puppet on strings, controlled for a lifetime."

"I imagine my mother's heartache back then must have been the same as what you're feeling now."

"So, I wanted you to also experience what it feels like for your heart to ache so much you can't breathe."

"Is it fun?"

Mu Qingya trembled violently, breathing rapidly, staring at her blankly.

Devil!
