Urbaner Blumentraum - Kapitel 131
Later, Chen Mobai and Wan Ning were so entangled that they had no choice but to hastily get married to put an end to Yu Xiaoyao's hopes. Yu Xiaoyao, driven by love turned to hate, disrupted their wedding. If Chen and Wan Ning hadn't been prepared, everyone attending the wedding would have been poisoned by her.
On the day of their wedding, Yu Xiaoyao stood in the hall where the two were to be married and told Chen Mobai and Wan Ning, word by word, that she would make them regret it for the rest of their lives! Then she leaped away and disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.
Chen Mobai and Wan Ning lived a happy and peaceful life for a while. Later, Wan Ning gave birth to a daughter. When the daughter was just three months old, Yu Xiaoyao suddenly appeared and stole the baby.
Chen Mobai and Wan Ning immediately gave chase.
The couple were kind and chivalrous, and many people in the martial arts world had benefited from their kindness. They had no way to repay them in ordinary times, but when they heard that Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan's newborn daughter had been stolen by a witch, they immediately volunteered to join the team to save the baby.
Although many people were tracking them, the little fish demon was also very vicious. Several times when she was surrounded and pressed hard, she would recklessly poison people without regard for time or place, and many innocent people suffered as a result.
Despite this, Chen Mobai and Wan Ning were so popular that more and more people came to help them. Yu Xiaoyao finally couldn't take it anymore, so she snatched a child of about the same age, leaving her half-dead, and then pretended to be outmatched so that the pursuers could take the baby girl back.
When Wan Ning saw the child on the verge of death, her heart broke. She immediately tried to save him, but the child's injuries were too severe. She exhausted all her strength to save the child's life—this child was Chen Muwan.
Yu Xiaoyao, along with Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan's biological daughter, finally managed to escape.
The three adults recalled the past, their expressions ranging from anger to hurt, while Zhu Huihui, the person involved, was deeply shocked. Anger, pain, sadness, grief, distress... a mix of emotions swirled together, leaving her unsure of her own feelings. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, sitting on the ground and bursting into tears, this time genuine.
No one spoke. Things had turned upside down so fast. In the blink of an eye, the young lady who was respected by everyone in Beikong Valley had become a "fake." In the next blink, the filthy, lazy, cowardly, thieving, and bullying little beggar who wandered the world had become the lost daughter of a divine doctor. Such things were hard for the person involved to accept, and even someone as calm as Fengxuese was struck by the unpredictability of life and how one's fate was not truly in one's own hands.
Looking at her two daughters, one wailing and the other sobbing with her head down, Madam Wan couldn't help but shed tears herself, yet her tears were tinged with a smile: "Little Yu, thank you!"
Yu Xiaoyao asked coldly, "Are you thanking me for sparing this girl's life?"
“That’s right! If you hadn’t shown mercy back then, I would never have seen my daughter again!” She turned her head and said to Mr. Chen with tears in her eyes, “Mo Bai, look at our child, she’s so cute! Her eyes are big and round, just like yours.”
Chen Mobai suppressed the bitterness in his heart and smiled slightly: "Yes! When I first saw this child, I felt a fondness for her. I never expected... she... she really is our child!"
He said to Zhu Huihui, "Child, come here!"
Zhu Huihui wiped away her tears. She had been sitting on the ground crying, but she immediately crawled to Mr. Chen's side and sobbed, "Sir!"
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "No need to call me Mr.. You are my daughter, you should call me Daddy."
The word "father" was so unfamiliar to Zhu Huihui; she had never heard of it before. Zhu Huihui opened her mouth, but still couldn't utter a sound.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at them and sneered slightly: "This child could have lived, but you've dragged her down with you!"
He reached out and grabbed the maple-colored longsword, his gaze shifting between Mr. Chen, Mrs. Wan, and Zhu Huihui, as if deciding who to attack first.
Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan smiled calmly, gazing at Zhu Huihui, looking as if they had no regrets about seeing their beloved daughter.
Zhu Huihui wasn't afraid at all. She rushed over and hugged Yu Xiaoyao's leg, crying louder than usual: "Waaah, Mother, kill me first!"
Yu Xiaoyao impatiently grabbed her ear and dragged her away: "I don't need to kill you with my own hands, and you don't have many years left to live!"
Madam Wan's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Yu Xiaoyao smiled broadly: "Aren't you supposed to be a very important doctor? How come you didn't notice?"
Madam Wan suddenly remembered that back when they first met, she had noticed that Zhu Huihui's blood circulation was abnormal, with a strange and vigorous power flowing within her body. She was very worried at the time, but she never knew why. She had been hoping to have the time to properly examine and treat the child...
"Yu Xiaoyao, what did you do to my daughter?" Her voice trembled.
Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "As you know, I was injured by Bai Niao Yelu back then. Due to the serious injury, the toxins in my body backfired, and I had to take more poisons to control it. Alas! Even though I have spent my whole life with poisons, I am still just an ordinary person of flesh and blood. I dare not use poisons that I am not sure about. Therefore, before taking any, I have to test the poison on others."
Madam Wan's expression was filled with extreme fear, and she stammered, "You...you used Ash...to test the poison for you?"
Yu Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Do you think that the girl you picked up has 268 kinds of poisons? Let me tell you, I raised Huihui with poison. Other people's children drink milk and eat food, but she eats all kinds of poisons. From childhood to adulthood, she has ingested at least 3,000 catties of poison, if not 5,000 catties!"
Madam Wan's face turned pale: "Then... then what should we do?"
Yu Xiaoyao said, "It's nothing serious! It's just that this child is poisonous from head to toe, skin and flesh. He looks fine now, but he won't live past twenty."
Everyone's hearts sank. They finally understood why everyone else had collapsed except for Zhu Huihui—it wasn't because Yu Xiaoyao had shown mercy, but because Zhu Huihui was a master poisoner who had been feeding on poison since childhood, so how could he have been poisoned?
Zhu Huihui collapsed to the ground with a thud, her heart filled with grief and indignation. Damn it! That old hag is too cruel! She actually... she actually harmed her own daughter!
Madam Wan forced a smile and said, "You raised Huihui with your own hands. Even if you are cruel... you wouldn't... and you shouldn't do such a thing... right... right?"
Yu Xiaoyao turned her head, smiled, and repeated, "Is that so?"
Mr. Chen suddenly muttered in a low voice, "Lustful!"
Madam Wan immediately recalled that at Qingfengya, that lecherous man had pricked Zhu Huihui's brow with a silver needle, then licked away the blood from the needle... Thinking of the lecherous man's gruesome death, even Madam Wan, with her vast experience, couldn't help but shudder. He had been poisoned by that child's blood! That poison... it was so potent...
Yu Xiaoyao wasn't lying! Her last glimmer of hope was extinguished, and she felt a wave of dizziness, almost fainting.
Maple Snow Color also remembered something at this moment. On the night that Xi Ye Yan was attacked by Yan Shen Han, Xi Ye Yan saw a large amount of blood gushing out on the shore of Dongting Lake. At the time, he thought that someone had poisoned Zhu Hui Hui. It turned out that it was actually something that Zhu Hui Hui herself had in her body. He had previously thought that Kazama Yoru had secretly done it...
Chen Mobai looked at Madam Wan, then at the bewildered Zhu Huihui, and felt extremely sad: "Child, come and hug your mother."
Zhu Huihui reached out and hugged Madam Wan, then naturally took Mr. Chen's arm.
Mr. Chen's gaze was heavy with sorrow as he stared at Zhu Huihui. Her slightly chubby face still held a childlike innocence, pink and round like two little dumplings, so adorable that one wanted to pinch them. Heavens above! We, husband and wife, have dedicated our lives to healing and saving lives. Is Heaven truly so cruel, decreeing that our beautiful daughter will not live past twenty?
Seeing the couple's dejected expressions, Yu Xiaoyao felt a surge of joy and smiled slightly: "Mo Bai, I haven't mistreated your daughter all these years!"
Chen Mobai snorted: "You treated my daughter so cruelly, beating and scolding her all the time. So this is how you treat her well!"
Yu Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Zhu Huihui, have you been living a happy life these past few years?"
Zhu Huihui was initially bewildered by the sudden change of mother, and upon hearing that she might not live past twenty, her fear and resentment overshadowed the confusion and sadness brought about by the drastic change in her background. She angrily replied, "So what if it's good? So what if it's bad?"
Yu Xiaoyao suddenly smiled again: "Mo Bai, don't you like hypocritical and pretentious so-called ladies? Ask Huihui, from childhood to adulthood, have I taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, literature, martial arts, medicine, divination, and astrology?"
If you had really taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, literature, martial arts, medicine, divination, and astrology, would Zhu Huihui still be the ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing she is now?
