The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl - Chapter 398
Chapter 398: Chapter 394: Nightmare_1
Lady Wen was taking Yingbao’s pulse.
Her pulse was the same as yesterday, showing no changes.
Lady Wen frowned, lifting Yingbao’s eyelids to reveal slightly dilated pupils in motionless eyes, as if she were in a deep sleep.
Lady Wen pondered for a moment before fetching a golden needle to acupuncture Yingbao.
She utilized the Fengchi, Baihui, and Yongquan points located on the soles of the feet.
After quite some time, she removed the golden needle, and Yingbao’s eyes started to move under her eyelids, but she remained unconscious.
Chunniang watched with a heavy heart, unable to resist calling out softly, “Baobao! Wake up!”
Lady Wang suggested, “Why don’t we invite the Divine Witch from the West Village to help call back her soul?”
Chunniang quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll go get her.”
Before long, the Divine Witch arrived with two grandchildren and began to perform her rituals inside Yingbao’s room.
Smoke began to fill the room, the Divine Witch shaking the bells and drums in her hands, singing shaman songs in a hum and chatter.
Meanwhile, Yingbao was trapped in a strange dream.
In the dream, she was riding a giant beast, holding a long curved knife in her hand, looking proudly at the opposite side.
On the other side were many strangely dressed people covered in blood. They looked at her with fear.
“Demoness! Meet your end!” chanted several monks in red robes with large crowns, waving their Soul Summoning Banners, standing on lotus flowers, swiftly forming a Demon Elimination Array.
“Take refuge! Do not be born! Thus come one! Great vows! Empty space is void of form! All thus come ones! Take Refuge! Violent demonic hindrances! All go into the void! Punished by all gods and Buddhas! Take in!
All the monks began to chant in unison, waving their Soul Summoning Banners.
Countless rays of golden light shot up to the sky, and the Demon Busting Array emitted a dazzling light, covering the entire land in an instant.
Yingbao was surrounded by the golden light, but she was not afraid. She raised her long knife and chopped at the array.
In an instant, the sky changed color, black clouds rolled, the golden array was scattered into ashes under her blow, and more than half of the red-robed monks were killed or injured.
Just as she was about to make her second strike, she heard someone shout, “Jiang Yingbao! Stop!”
Yingbao looked up and saw several men radiating a shimmering light, restraining four people, and shouting at her, “If you don’t submit to the law! We will kill them!”
Yingbao squinted as she identified the four people.
They really were despicable, actually using her adoptive parents as hostages.
The so-called righteous path was surprisingly capable of such lowly acts.
In her hesitation, countless people surrounded her. “Demoness! Hand over the Divine Bead! We’ll give you a quick death!”
Just as Yingbao was about to resist, she saw a young man in white clothes chop off her brother’s arm with a knife.
With a cold expression, the young man in white said, “If you dare resist, the next cut will be your brother and adoptive parents’ heads!”
Yingbao looked at her unconscious brother, who was being cradled in her adoptive father’s arms, her heart burning with rage.
The young man in white continued, “I don’t necessarily want to exterminate you, but you’re obstinate and hard-headed, Jiang Yingbao. As long as you hand over the Divine Bead, we can promise not to kill them. Otherwise, they will die a horrible death.”
Yingbao looked around to see that hundreds of Cultivators had already set up an array, enclosing her in a large array.
Today, the situation was not going to end well.
Perhaps she could escape if she didn’t care, but then her adoptive family would be killed by that disgusting man.
They were her only concerns. If this world did not have her adoptive family, there would be no point in her continuing to live.
Yingbao pulled up the corner of her mouth in a strange smile, and said to the young man, “Fine, you just swear a heart demon oath first. If you dare lie to me, you will never die a good death in your future lives.”
The young man sneered and immediately raised his hand to swear a heart demon oath.
Then he said, “You can rest assured now. Hand over the Divine Bead to me.”
“Good!” Yingbao gripped her long sword tightly in one hand, gradually lifting the other.
“Don’t!” Her foster mother cried out harshly: “Yingbao! Don’t believe him! Your two little brothers have already been murdered, run fast! Don’t bother with…”
Before she could finish speaking, something struck her on the head, knocking her down.
Her foster father, unable to speak, frantically shook his head in Yingbao’s direction, signaling her to run.
Yingbao, her eyes filled with fury, pointed her sword at the young man and charged at him: “Your life ends now!”
The young man quickly grabbed her foster father and retreated sharply, “Stop! Your foster mother is not dead, your brothers have only suffered spiritual damage and there is no risk to their life.”
At this moment, a woman emerged from behind the young man, leading a few people to stop Yingbao.
“So it’s you, Chen Tiantian, you sold out my foster parents, didn’t you!” Anger surged in Yingbao as she swung her sword towards her.
The people around Chen Tiantian hastily held up their magic artifacts to block the attack, stopping the assault.
Yingbao, concerned about her foster mother and little brothers, did not use her full strength. She repelled them and instantly appeared in front of her foster mother and brothers.
Her two little brothers looked stunned, while her foster mother was unconscious.
Yingbao placed them on the back of the giant beast, then slowly approached Chen Tiantian and her group.
“You wish to have the Divine Bead, right? I’ll give it to you, but Xiao Chengjun, immediately return my father!”
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Chengjun emerged from the crowd, looked at her, and said: “If that’s the case, bring out the Divine Bead first.”
Yingbao covered her left eye with one hand and gouged it out with a force that instantly caused blood to flow down her face.
She held out her hand, in the palm sat a bloody eyeball emanating a strange glow.
Everyone surrounding her gasped, uttering no words, their eyes filled with greed.
Yingbao sneered.
She was born different, radiating light all over her body. Her biological parents thought she was a demon and urgently tried to drown her in a basin before throwing her into the mountains for the wild beasts.
Who could have known that she was not an ordinary child, and instead of dying, she was picked up by her foster parents.
Later, she grew up slowly by the side of her foster parents.
Even later, she was taken back by her biological parents who subjected her to inhumane torments after discovering her powers.
They learned from somewhere that she possessed a rare treasure and used all sorts of unimaginable methods to find it on her.
Bleeding, disemboweling, bone excavating, they did everything they could think of.
But they didn’t know that her treasure was her pair of eyes.
No, it was the peculiarity of her eyes.
Today, she used one of her eyes to exchange for her foster father.
Xiao Chengjun’s eyes sparkled, filled with joy. He immediately pushed a man toward Yingbao.
Yingbao grabbed her foster father and took him to the giant beast, whispering: “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s all because Baobao dragged you down.”
Tears streamed down her foster father’s face, shaking his head, he grabbed Yingbao and said: “Baobao. Your mother and I have relied on you for several hundred years now. It’s enough. Run away quickly, don’t worry about us. They won’t let you go, nor will they let us go. Rather than dying in their hands, you might as well escape. Take revenge for us later.”
Yingbao smiled: “Nobody can escape, everybody is stuck.”
She had a premonition that after losing one of her eyes, the world would soon be destroyed.
As if it happened in slow motion but at the same time it happened so quickly, the eyeball in her hand suddenly flew into the sky, emitting a dazzling light.
This light was powerful enough to destroy the world.
The moment the eyeball left her hand, she held her foster father, mother, and brothers tightly in her arms.
Her right eye also emitted a brilliant glow, engulfing them all…
