600 True Colors
Feeling uneasy, Xiao Yi looked at Miao Yuehua and called out nervously, “Mother.”
Miao Yuehua touched his head and comforted him gently. “Yi’er, don’t be afraid. With me around, I won’t let you get hurt.”
She had used all means to get this son. She would never allow anyone to hurt him.
Father Xiao felt cold. He said in fear, “Madam, save me.”
The person holding Father Xiao tightened his grip on the knife on his neck and said fiercely, “If you want your husband’s life, exchange it with divine medicine!”
How could they not know that the master and disciple had something in their hands? The key was that they couldn’t take it from them. The master and disciple had strong martial arts and superpowers. If they went, not only would they not get any benefits, but their hair would also be cut off and they would be humiliated.
However, it was different when dealing with Miao Yuehua. She was a woman, and she still had to protect a young child. They could clearly differentiate between the strong and the weak.
“Madam, save me. Yi’er, quickly get your mother to save me.”
Father Xiao was very flustered. Seeing the coldness in his wife’s eyes, he became even more flustered. He looked at his son, thinking that his son always cared about him.
Xiao Yi glanced at Miao Yuehua. Seeing that Miao Yuehua was unmoved, he did not look at his father.
Father Xiao was even more afraid. He was almost sobbingly, “Madam, Yi’er is still young. He can’t live without a father.”
Miao Yuehua looked at him coldly and said, “Shut up. You’re just a rotten body. If you die, so be it.”
After obtaining the tears of blessing from Little Niu and his master, Father Xiao became completely useless to her.
How could she use his worthless life to exchange for divine medicine? How could she do such a costly thing?
Papa Xiao was dumbfounded. He looked at Miao Yuehua in disbelief and muttered to himself, “Madam, we are husband and wife. You, how can you say that about me…”
How could she say that he was rotten? How could she let him die?
Miao Yuehua did not want to bother with the idiotic Father Xiao. She looked coldly at the few people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and said in a deep voice, “If you want to take advantage of the situation, you have to see if you have the ability. From the moment you stepped into this residence, you are being cursed with every breath you take.”
“Hmph, I’m the Black Sorceress Miao Yuehua. Do you know who I am?”
Miao Yuehua rolled up her sleeves. On her fair arm was a lifelike tattoo of a poisonous scorpion.
“You—this vicious woman!”
The few people who wanted to take advantage of the situation revealed shocked expressions and gritted their teeth.
“While the Gu is not deep, you can go to the pharmacy to find a toad and a centipede. You’ll be able to remove the Gu after boiling them with water. If it drags on for too long, you won’t be able to remove it. If you don’t come to find trouble with me, I won’t attack you. You say that I’m a vicious woman, but you guys aren’t good people either. We’re all the same.”
Miao Yuehua sneered and calmly stroked her hair.
They were allowed to have evil intentions, was she not allowed to be on guard?
“Are you the Black Sorceress just because you said so? Who knows if you’re lying to us? We haven’t even taken a sip of water here. How can it be so easy to plant a Gu?”
Someone did not believe in Gu.
He felt that Miao Yuehua was trying to scare them off.
Miao Yuehua laughed and said, “You can open your eyes and see if there’s a white nematode in your eyeballs.”
As soon as she finished speaking, those people used their swords as mirrors and lifted their eyelids to check. With one look, their expressions changed.
They pushed Father Xiao away and said angrily, “Is the Gu cure you mentioned true?”
Miao Yuehua nodded. “Of course it’s true, but if you continue to delay, it will be useless when the insects grow up.”
Those people gritted their teeth and retreated one after another.
After she was safe, Miao Yuehua heaved a sigh of relief. She did not know how she would react after taking the medicine, so she did not want to cause trouble.
“Yi’er, go back to your room.”
Miao Yuehua called her son and prepared to go back to her room to have a good seat.
Father Xiao looked at his unfamiliar wife and felt as though he didn’t know her anymore. Miao Yuehua didn’t even look at him.
Seeing that the mother and son did not care about him, Father Xiao’s mood fluctuated. He took two steps forward and said in a trembling voice, “Madam, Yi’er… I—”
“Madam, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become like this? I’ve been so good to you. I’ve given you everything. I…” Father Xiao actually wanted to ask why she was treating him like this, but Miao Yuehua’s cold gaze swept over him. He actually didn’t dare to ask the last question.
Miao Yuehua looked at Papa Xiao with disgust and disdain. “Don’t call me Madam. I feel disgusted just by looking at you.”
Papa Xiao looked hurt. He recalled the blissful days he had with Miao Yuehua. Everything seemed like yesterday. Now that Miao Yuehua suddenly looked at him coldly, it was like a dream.
“Now that things have come to this, I can’t be bothered to talk to you. You’d better get lost yourself. Scram far away and don’t let me see you again, or I’ll take your life.”
“If you weren’t the only one who could make me have a child back then, why would I fall for a disgusting person like you? You’re vulgar and lowly. You’re disgusting.”
The disgust in Miao Yuehua’s eyes hit Father Xiao hard. He could barely stand.
Miao Yuehua was very beautiful and graceful. He had always liked her and was willing to do anything for her. He was sincere. However, now, Miao Yuehua said that he was disgusting, and that it was all a lie when she used to say that she was in love with him. Father Xiao could not accept it and his heart ached so much that he could not breathe.
Miao Yuehua frowned and said to Xiao Yi, “Yi’er, go back to your room.”
Xiao Yi nodded and didn’t ask further. He didn’t even look at his father before returning to his room.
His wife was cold, and so was his son. Father Xiao was extremely sad, and his face looked as if the sky had collapsed.
After Xiao Yi returned to his room, Miao Yuehua raised her chin and said coldly, “Xiao Tieniu, why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Look at yourself and then look at me. Are you worthy of me? Not to mention me, even your original wife, the daughter of the Zheng family, is out of your league. She must have been blind and unlucky to have met you and found such a disgusting man like you.”
“There’s no difference between you and her. Both of you have the same use. You’re just stepping stones for my son and me. Now that you’re useless, why would I keep you as an eyesore? If Old Niu hadn’t taken your son away back then, I wouldn’t have kept you for 12 years and made myself suffer for 12 years.”
“Seeing your face every day makes me so disgusted that I can’t eat. If it weren’t for the fact that you were still useful, I would have killed you long ago.”
Miao Yuehua expressed the disgust in her heart. Father Xiao’s face turned pale, and tears welled up in his eyes. He felt that he had lived a blissful life for so many years. Now that he knew that it was all fake, he found it hard to accept.
He felt a pain in his chest. Under the shock, he was in so much pain that he could not breathe. He reached out to Miao Yuehua, but she avoided him in disdain.
