Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 681 - 680: Let Your Parents Rest in Peace

Her neck was very painful, and Mianmian could hardly make a sound.

But she still managed to utter a feeble cry, her eyes brimming with tears as she watched the family of foxes run into the distance.

The foxes were together now, but what about her dad and mom? Where were they?

"Don’t cry, Mianmian."

Wu Chenzi gently comforted her, "Fox demons are just creatures that harm the human world. Rest assured, I, the old Daoist, have already arranged for people to capture them all and avenge your parents."

Mianmian still didn’t understand what revenge meant and asked hoarsely, "What does revenge mean?"

Before Wu Chenzi could answer, a young Daoist priest beside him said, "You don’t know this? It’s because the fox demons killed your parents, and we will kill the entire family of fox demons for you. That’s what revenge is."

The only killing Mianmian had ever witnessed was Ermao having his heart ripped out that day. The most slaughter she’d been exposed to was the chickens and pigs being killed in the village.

The livestock, once well and alive, would be slain by a single cut and never move again.

If humans kill livestock, did the foxes kill her parents in the same way?

But in her dreams, her parents clearly told her they were not dead.

Mianmian voiced her doubts, only to be ridiculed by the Daoist priests. They seemed especially delighted as they chimed in one after the other, saying, "How could they possibly be alive?"

"Exactly, demons excel at heart extraction and murder."

"Don’t worry, we will definitely avenge your parents, and we will make sure all the neighboring families know about it."

Little Mianmian stood amidst a group of Daoist priests, who were talking about killing the fox demon, her small face full of terror.

She didn’t quite understand why the fox demon would definitely have killed her parents, but she found the expressions on the faces of the Daoist priests when they talked about killing demons to be frightening.

Mianmian didn’t like the Daoist priests and yet could not leave the Bixia Daoist Temple.

Wu Chenzi began teaching her some strange sentences to recite. Those sentences were odd, and as she recited them, a force would well up inside her body.

Then Wu Chenzi would hold her palm, and all that force would disappear.

At first, Mianmian didn’t know where that force went, but after a few days and overhearing the Daoist priests discussing, she came to understand.

The Daoist priests said that she would become something called a "spiritual furnace" in the future, and all the spiritual qi she cultivated would be taken away by Wu Chenzi. Spiritual qi was important; it was necessary for good health.

Mianmian was a little angry, so she didn’t practice absorbing spiritual qi that day. freewёbnoνel.com

Wu Chenzi, having not absorbed any spiritual qi, punished her by forbidding her to eat.

Mianmian went hungry all day, and the next day, she saw the Daoist priests carrying a cage into the rear hall again.

This time, the cage contained the big white fox and the little red fox, and another big red fox came back as nothing but a skin.

The Daoist priests exclaimed joyfully, "The innate spiritual child really is different. Just with the spiritual qi from these few days, Master’s strength has greatly increased, and he managed to capture this three-tailed fox."

"Master’s goal was the three-tailed fox all along, haha, this fox thought it was doing well disguised as a human, bringing the spiritual child straight to us. Master is truly formidable, destined by heaven itself."

"You should know, the three-tailed fox must have tried something, running to our Bixia Daoist Temple’s Demon Suppression Tower trying to save its wife, but it failed."

"However, this fox actually did not..."

The discussion of the Daoist priests came to an abrupt halt as they noticed Mianmian.

Mianmian looked at the little fox in the cage, and the little fox looked back at her.

In the end, the little fox turned its head away.

After a brief pause, the Daoist priests picked up the thread of their conversation, "Little junior sister, are you also here to see the fox demon? Don’t worry, we’ve already avenged your parents."

"That’s right, we’ve already retrieved your parents’ bodies; they’re on the car behind."

"Your parents died horribly, half of their bodies were torn open by the fox demon, and their hearts were eaten."

The Daoist priests described the horrific state of the corpses in detail, leaving Mianmian’s slender little face frozen in shock.

It took her quite a while to come to her senses, and then she ran towards the great doors of the rear hall.

Indeed, Daoist Master Wu Chen was instructing his disciples to carry over a coffin, a very large one.

Mianmian was too short to reach, and Wu Chenzi had the coffin lowered and lifted her up to see inside.

In the coffin, Su Senqi and Jiang Yao’s bodies were covered in bloodstains, their faces pale, with eyes still open.

Seeing her parents’ corpses, Mianmian’s expression became even more blank, unsure of how to react.

Wu Chenzi’s tone was gentle as he said, "Say your goodbyes to your parents. After we chant the scriptures to liberate their souls, we’ll let them be buried and rest in peace."

The phrase "rest in peace" was one Mianmian had heard before! She had even seen it!

When Ermao died, the villagers buried him to rest in peace. Ermao’s mother even told Ermao that the Daoist Master had taken revenge for him, hoping he would reincarnate in her womb and still be her son.

After death, one can never get up again.

No matter how much she wanted to play with Ermao, she couldn’t do it anymore. Now, it was the same with her parents; no matter how much she wanted to talk to them or be coddled by them, it was no longer possible.

Seeing that Mianmian was silent for a long time, Wu Chenzi called out, "Su Mianmian?"

"Huh?" Mianmian turned to look at Wu Chenzi, her slender face still void of any expression.

Not only was she not crying; her eyes weren’t even red.

Wu Chenzi asked, "Don’t you want to say something more to your parents?"

Mianmian shook her head, "I don’t want to."

She only wanted to talk to her parents who would respond to her, not to the parents lying in a square box, covered in blood and motionless.

The Daoist priests held a simple funeral for Su Senqi and Jiang Yao, and then buried them in a graveyard not far from the Bixia Daoist Temple. There were many graves there, marked with various names.

Pilgrims who came to worship saw Mianmian in her mourning clothes, still a baby, and asked the Daoist priests what had happened.

After hearing the story, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Mianmian, "Ah, such a young girl, her parents and villagers all killed by a fox demon, what will she do now?"

Mianmian raised her head to listen to what the middle-aged woman was saying, her eyes still vacant.

Seeing this, the woman quietly asked the Daoist priests, "Has the little girl been so traumatized that she’s become silly?"

The Daoist priest replied, "No, she has just become less talkative."

"Why not send her to a wealthy family to be raised? I’ll go find a suitable family for the Daoist Masters."

The Daoist priest quickly shook his head, "No need to trouble yourself, this little girl has a destiny with our Master and has already been taken as a disciple."

The woman paused, as if not expecting this answer.

Daoist Temples were all-male, and it was unheard of to take in female disciples. With just the young girl in the entire Daoist Temple, what would they do when she grew up?

But since they said the little girl and Daoist Master Wu Chen had a destiny, she refrained from commenting further, only asking, "Has the fox demon been captured? These days, demons are terrifyingly bold, wiping out whole villages—what is the reason for all this?"

The young Daoist priest shook his head repeatedly, "We don’t know, but our Bixia Temple has always been committed to eliminating demons, and we will certainly exterminate them all, whatever the cost."

After hearing the young Daoist priest’s words, Bai Bai, who was watching the scene from outside the Mountain River Sheji Map, became even angrier.

What a terrible plot! How shameless the priests inside are!
