The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 412 Tao Ling'er Becomes an Immortal Child

Qiu Ziyue shook her head. "Tao Ling'er, is it really you?"

The little girl raised her head, her gaze as deep as the stars:

"That's right, I am Tao Ling'er. Thank you for helping me fulfill my last wish."

"You even killed my enemy for me; I've come to thank you."

"No need to thank me. Eliminating harm for the people is the right thing to do. I was just trying my best to eradicate a scourge."

Qiu Ziyue blinked and responded very seriously.

"But I regret that I was a good-for-nothing in life and I'll still be a good-for-nothing in death. I can't help you, and I can't save you."

The little girl pouted and said.

"It's alright, Tao Ling'er, you don't need to worry about it too much,"

After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she asked again:

"Ling'er, your wish has been fulfilled. Can you be reborn?"

"Sister, I cannot be reborn. I am now the flower-guarding fairy in Guanyin's garden."

"You've become an immortal, don't you want to return to the mortal world? Do you still want to marry Qi Yuxuan?"

"No, life is too bitter. Besides, I'm at ease knowing that Qi Yuxuan has you."

Qiu Ziyue was about to say that if you return to the human world, you might consider giving Qi Yuxuan to her.

Tao Ling'er then said:

"Sister, even if I return to the mortal world, Qi Yuxuan will not like me. I am just a piece of trash."

Qiu Ziyue smiled.

"Oh right, I have to go back now. If I get back late, I'll get scolded by Guanyin."

After Tao Ling'er finished speaking, she turned and disappeared into the night.

Qiu Ziyue stood there, lost in thought for a long time.

She gazed in the direction where the little girl had disappeared, her heart filled with ripples of emotion.

Tao Ling'er's gaze and tone of voice gave Qiu Ziyue an indescribable shock.

"Believe that your choice is right..."

Qiu Ziyue murmured the little girl's words, and many images flashed through her mind—

From the moment she transmigrated to this era, everything she experienced seemed to be pieced together into a complete picture.

She recalled Tao Ling'er's dying wish, how she gradually learned the Tao family's secret techniques, and how she used these powers to avenge Ling'er.

Along the way, she experienced too much pain and struggle, and at one point thought she couldn't change anything.

But just now, when Zhu Wen made that shameless suggestion, she still firmly chose to refuse.

What is the purpose of this?

A night breeze blew by, and Qiu Ziyue became clear-headed.

She suddenly realized that perhaps the answer had already been hidden in her heart.

She did not come to change history, nor to save everyone.

She simply wanted to protect something worth protecting, such as inner justice, cherishing relationships, and the beauty that had not yet been destroyed by war.

Just then, a few rooster crows came from afar, and the sky gradually turned a pale white.

Qiu Ziyue looked up at the east, and the first rays of dawn brought a touch of warmth to her eyes.

However, Zhu Wen, watching all this, also felt incredulous.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the iron door to the basement slowly opened, the heavy metallic scraping sound particularly jarring in the silence.

Du Xiao held her breath and pushed the door open. What came into view was a heartbreaking scene—hundreds of girls huddled in a corner, helpless and terrified like abandoned little animals.

Their faces were pale, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost all hope for life.

"Don't be afraid, we're here to save you."

Du Xiao spoke softly, his voice gentle yet firm. He glanced at Su Er, who had already arrived, and the two exchanged a look before taking action.

They approached the girls stealthily, trying to convince them of their good intentions.

"Follow us, we're leaving here!"

Du Xiao lowered his voice, trying his best not to disturb any enemies who might be lurking nearby.

However, these girls were already used to fear and despair. They just stared blankly at Du Xiao and Su Er, and no one dared to move.

"hurry up!"

Su Er squatted down and soothed him in an even gentler tone.

"We will not hurt you, we will take you home to find your mother."

Upon hearing the name "Mother," several of the bolder girls finally stood up, trembling.

Although they remained wary, their survival instincts drove them to take the first step.

Seeing this, the other girls followed suit, cautiously approaching Du Xiao and Su Er.

Meanwhile, footsteps gradually approached from the other end of the corridor.

Du Xiao quickly scanned his surroundings and discovered a narrow passage not far away.

"Quickly, go this way!"

He grabbed the youngest girl, shielded her behind him, and then led the group quickly into the passage.

The passageway was cold and damp, with a stench of decay permeating the air.

With each step, you can hear the sound of water droplets falling from the stone wall.

Despite the harsh environment, at this moment, this narrow passage is the only road to freedom.

Du Xiao and Su Er walked at the front of the group, constantly on guard against any potential dangers, while the girls behind them huddled together, offering each other some comfort.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps ahead.

Du Xiao suddenly stopped and turned around to signal everyone to lie down.

A few seconds later, several guards peeked out from around the corner, holding sharp long knives.

Du Xiao's eyes sharpened, and he silently rushed forward, snapping the necks of two of the guards with lightning speed. Before the remaining guards could react, Su Er dispatched them with a single stroke.

"keep going!"

Du Xiao shouted and led the girls out of the passage.

After scaling a high wall, they finally shook off their pursuers and successfully entered a safe area.

In the distance, several familiar figures came running.

Qi Yuxuan, Li Cunxu, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and others rushed to meet them.

Seeing Du Xiao and Su Er return safely with the girls, they breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again.

"Where is Twilight Sparkle? Where is she?"

Qi Yuxuan asked anxiously, his eyes searching around.

"My sister is still inside, dealing with Zhu Wen."

Du Xiao replied, her tone tinged with worry.

"Our master instructed us to rescue the virgin girl first, while she stayed behind alone."

Damn it!

Li Cunxu clenched his fist tightly.

"That old scoundrel Zhu Wen won't treat Zi Yue well."

"Let's go save Twilight Sparkle right now!"

After saying this in a deep voice, Qi Yuxuan quickly flew towards the palace.

Li Cunxu, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Su Er quickly followed.

Zhao Wanqing walked to Du Xiao's side and asked with concern:

Are you alright?

Du Xiao nodded and turned to look at the girls who were still in shock.

"We must ensure their safety and not let Zhu Wen succeed again."

"Don't worry, I will send someone to escort them to a safe place."

Zhao Wanqing said decisively, "As for Ziyue... we absolutely cannot abandon her!"

The night was as dark as ink. Qi Yuxuan, Li Cunxu, Qiu Langyu, Su Er, and another man quickly ran towards the palace.

They were filled with unease and anxiety, because the news they had just received made them feel that something terrible was about to happen.

When they finally arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace, the scene before them was terrifying.

Flames shot into the sky, and a roar echoed through the silent night.

Several people knew perfectly well that a huge change had occurred in the palace.

They rushed to the courtyard outside Tao Akun's palace.

Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the corpses of some soldiers were scattered in the courtyard, leaving a scene of utter chaos.

But Qiu Ziyue was nowhere to be seen.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and all around was utterly silent.

Only the occasional crackling of flames broke the deathly silence.

"Miss!"

Qi Yuxuan's voice was filled with despair and pain. Seeing the horrific scene in the courtyard, his vision blurred and he collapsed to the ground. "Your Highness!"

Li Cunxu followed closely behind, but also fainted due to the shock he was about to experience.

Qiu Langyu reacted quickly, carrying the unconscious Qi Yuxuan on his back, while Su Er carried Li Cunxu on his back.

"Let's go quickly," Leng Feng said.

Qiu Langyu, Su Er, and Leng Feng didn't say much, but exchanged a determined look.

The group left the palace again and disappeared into the vast night.

They knew that now was not the time to grieve; the only thing they could do was to evacuate quickly.
