Chapter 148 - Did You Do All of This?

Mian Bingbing sat down and dried her tears. "I'm very sorry… I was selfish. I couldn't look you and Xiao Luan in the eye, Heilong. I was so convinced that, as long as I don't speak of it, it would never go out. It's just that… after Feng'er stopped living in his dorm, I was suddenly getting this urge to reform our little family. So many things happened to Feng'er that I was so scared that I would end up losing him, too.

"I have so many things to pay for, but I still can't use my life as collateral." Mian Bingbing chuckled. "I'm a very proud person, and I don't want to lie about it. I can't stake my life to help you, Xiao Luan, but I will always pray and wish that your next mother would be way more human than me." She then turned to Li Heilong. "Your decision to sign the divorce papers is correct. I don't deserve you at all..."

"No." Li Heilong frowned even if he was sitting on the floor, hiding the pain in his stomach. "I only signed it to drive you away from the house. The black horse had been telling me about the entity and that it sings for you. I can't close my eyes now that I have a way to see them, Bingbing. I am planning to chase you again after dealing with the entity in secret… that was the plan."

He glared at Wang Yusheng who only shrugged. Of course, he knew what the husband aimed to do. It's just that the doctor was known to keep secrets to the grave so he couldn't just loosen his lips for his own convenience. If only Li Heilong knew that Wang Yusheng knew about Xiao Luan, he would have planned for things differently.

Li Heilong then turned to the shadow baby. "Nonetheless, you turned out to be a daughter I didn't know I had and lost. Feng is right, it would be better for you to move on to your next life. You've seen what kind of people we are. There's no reason for you to stick with us and pass on having better ones."

"...I still want to be Mommy's baby in the future..." Xiao Luan hummed, but her appearance was changing into a fifteen-year-old that she should be if she survived. She looked very close to Mian Bingbing that Li Heilong felt like he was looking at that girl who stole his heart in one glance. "I think this lifetime is really no good. If I have a choice, I will wait for that future to come.

"I also want to be the older one next time, Big Brother Feng..."

A small smile curled her lips before she vanished into a dot of light. "It's strange, but my wish to be recognized by Mommy as her baby had come true. I wonder if it's through the power of a miracle worker."

The leftover negative energy was then suddenly slurped by Liu Heima, clearing the place from the suffocation and depressing aura. Wang Yusheng then moved to help Li Heilong up and inevitably expose his bleeding stomach to the people with them. Mian Bingbing gasped and moved fast, helping the doctor in dealing with it.

Li Feng then turned around, and the black miasma quickly dissolved as if Liu Xiaodan didn't even bother to say goodbye. The young man then lowered his eyes as he remembered that Guangru also came to help out as well. He then raked his hand through his hair. He really had to prostrate in front of those two in the future.

"He… didn't eat the ghost king..." Qiao Shan only stood there and watched the spectacle. What she didn't understand was that Guangru came—she felt it, but he didn't eat the ghost king. The very reason was that Guangru easily incapacitated the transcending ghost king, and it could have been a very sumptuous meal for a demon trying to regain its power.

However, in the end, Guangru didn't eat the ghost king.

Mian Tianni turned to find Qiao Shan standing on her own. The old woman then approached her. "Qiao Princess, you're probably very excited to see a demonstration of Liu Xiaodan and the dybbuk's powers. Are you going to report this to your family head?"

"...no, the Qiao family is sponsoring various Red projects at the moment. Moreover, they were very interested in this revived Project Hades. Simply telling them about Liu Xiaodan wouldn't take their attention." Qiao Shan shook her head. "Besides, he's already in the testing facility. It's no different in reporting everything else that he did."

She then smiled lightly. "If you'd excuse me, Master Mian, I would like to speak to Li Feng."

Qiao Shan left without waiting for Mian Tianni's answer. The old woman only stared at the two from the distance, watching how Li Feng acted towards Qiao Shan. Her brows then frowned. "Project Hades? Wasn't that that thing they did to Lengleng? Did they find someone else willing to rent their bodies to those entities—? What am I saying… as if someone could beat Liu Xiaodan in that aspect…

"Wait… Liu Xiaodan?"

Mian Tianni turned away, but her steps were halted at a thought. Her eyes then widened as she rewound the words that came across her mind. She then covered her mouth with a hand. "Lengleng is Qianqian's mother, and that makes her Liu Xiaodan's blood grandmother. Could it be that this revived Project Hades is…? This is bad."

The matriarch didn't even wait for anyone as her haste and apprehension caused her to walk away on her own.

…

As he saw the conclusion of the incident with Li Feng's side, Liu Xiaodan felt very tired from materializing again as some kind of miasma. His consciousness had returned to his body shortly, but he didn't move from fatigue. Perhaps, he would have been able to move around if he shared Old Doctor's spoils, but he told the greater ghost to have it for himself. Maybe when he returned to his room, he could depend on Old Xiong.

It's just that when he came to, he could smell blood all over. He also realized that his body could be moved. Liu Xiaodan held onto the eye guard and removed it, feeling the warm blood on it… on his face… on his entire body. The young man gasped in surprise and looked around as he sat up.

Old Doctor was standing in the distance, but Liu Xiaodan could clearly see that it was chewing on some kind of person. Moreover, there were dead nurses and guards on the floor. He then asked, "Old Doctor, what happened here? Did you do all of this?"

"...please… no eat..." Old Doctor begged him again, but this time, Liu Xiaodan frowned at him. "Tell me what happened here, Old Doctor..."

"...?" Old Doctor spat out the human it was trying to eat because the tactical gear was too rough. "Human master… did all of this… me only eat leftover… you killed everyone..."
