Chapter 382: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust!
Xiao Lou's body suddenly shuddered, and a moment of clarity passed through his mind.
"My daughter? I have a daughter?" Xiao Lou muttered to himself.
"If you want to see her again, put down the sword in your hand!" Murong Susu hastily said.
Xiao Lou breathed heavily, as clarity gradually returned to his thoughts, the demonic blood-red in his eyes slowly faded, and he loosened his tight grip on the Heavy Sword!
Turning his head, he saw the woman's tragically beautiful face, "Susu? Is it really you?"
"Hmm?" Murong Susu revealed a slight smile and nodded.
"Don't lie to me, do I really have a daughter? Where is she, what is her name?" Xiao Lou was somewhat excited and trembling slightly as he held the Heavy Sword.
Because of the trembling, the Blood Sword in Murong Zun's wound caused friction, making him stream with cold sweat and his face turn pale.
Seeing that Xiao Lou had largely regained his senses, Murong Susu finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Not long after our family took me back that year, I discovered I was pregnant!
So, taking advantage of the family's inattention, I secretly ran away, hid in a common household, and gave birth to the child!
And I left the child with that household, but when I came back, I heard that you had already died!
I knew that if the family found out we still had a child, they would never let her go.
So, I didn't dare to take the risk, and I never mentioned it to anyone, hoping only that she could live a peaceful life, and by now she must be married and have children of her own!"
Murong Susu's words left everyone utterly shocked; the entire Murong Family was stunned!
Murong Zun was completely dumbstruck, forgetting even the pain from his wounds, with only shock in his eyes.
Murong Bai was dumbfounded, unable to believe that during the year his sister disappeared, she had gone to give birth?
Everyone was looking at each other; this was like a level twelve earthquake to the Murong Family.
"No, you must be lying to me, you are deceiving me, aren't you? This isn't true, it can't be true!" Xiao Lou shook his head, muttering to himself, unable to believe this was real.
"No, I'm not lying to you, she is in Binzhou, and her last name is also Xiao. I can take you to find her!
We can leave here together, and we can reunite as a family immediately, trust me!" Murong Susu said calmly.
Xiao Lou was so excited he couldn't contain himself, nodding repeatedly, "Hahaha, I believe you, let's go now, let's go find our daughter, I actually have a daughter, hahaha!"
Xiao Lou was as happy as a child, completely putting down the Blood Sword in his hand and walking towards Murong Susu.
"Brother Qin, they're finally together as lovers, and it turns out they have a daughter, they will definitely be very happy in the future!" The girl said tearfully, equally excited.
"Pff!"
Just then, a sudden turn of events occurred. Murong Zun pulled out the Blood Sword embedded in his body and stabbed Xiao Lou in the heart from behind.
"Hahaha, after all, we are heart to heart as father and daughter, not bad acting, I almost believed it was true!" Murong Zun laughed loudly.
Xiao Lou spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes wide and fixed on Murong Susu, "You... deceived me?"
"Hmph, monster, do you think you deserve to have the daughter of the Murong Family bear your child? Die!" Murong Zun sneered and violently shook the Blood Sword, completely shattering Xiao Lou's internal organs!
"Thump!" Xiao Lou died on the spot, collapsing to the ground, his eyes wide open in death!
"No~~~"
Murong Susu's face was deathly pale, tears streaming down her face as she rushed to Xiao Lou's body, picked up his head, and murmured, "I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you..."
"Hmph, what use is there in keeping this inhuman monster? Now that he is dead, your heart can die too, you can forget this ant!" Murong Zun said coldly.
"Heh heh!" Murong Susu looked coldly at her father.
"You're right, my heart is dead, all thanks to you. My resentment towards you will never be forgiven, for all eternity!" Murong Susu gritted her teeth, pausing between each word.
"Pfft!"
Murong Susu's wrist flicked, and a dagger from her sleeve shot out, piercing her own heart directly.
"Little aunt!" Murong Qi exclaimed in shock, as he had a good relationship with his little aunt within the family.
"Sister!" Murong Bai also cried out in shock.
Murong Zun clenched his fists tightly, staring blankly at his daughter who had committed suicide next to Xiao Lou, feeling more resentment and anger amidst the sorrow.
As the saying goes, daughters are inclined outward, truly so. She would rather rebel her whole life and die next to her lover than forgive her own father!
Murong Zun's heart was filled with bleak irritability, incomprehension, fury, and resentment.
"Brother Qin, how could this happen? How could this be, wasn't it supposed to end perfectly, supposed to be a great conclusion!" the girl said in shock, her eyes reddening.
The young man was also astonished, heaving a sigh in his heart; life is unpredictable, he hadn't expected such an ending either!
"You obstinate old fossil, harming others and yourself, selfish and greedy, they should have had a beautiful ending, lovers finally becoming spouses!
Even, they could have enjoyed the happiness of a family, all because of you, here, you deserve to die the most!" the girl suddenly couldn't restrain her anger and shouted harshly.
This sudden scolding startled everyone in the courtyard, and they all cast their gazes over.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that, without knowing when, two strangers, a man and a woman, had appeared in the yard.
Murong Zun was also in a bad mood, his face darkening as he swept a cold gaze over them after being scolded like this.
Seeing that they were two unfamiliar faces, he said grimly, "How audacious, daring to intrude into the Murong Family. Guards, kill them, the events of today are not to be leaked!"
The young man was greatly startled, quickly stepping in front of the girl and said coldly, "We meant no offense, just following the trail of a red-haired man. We won't speak of what happened here, we'll leave right now!"
With that, he was about to pull the girl away!
"Hmph, thinking of leaving? You can, but leave your lives behind first!" Murong Zun coldly shouted.
Suddenly, the Elders reacted, preparing to make a move.
The young man's face changed drastically, he coldly shouted, "Dare you, I am Canglong Junior General Qin Xing, Ye Marshal is my foster father, who dares to touch us?"
This roar, thunderous, instantly quieted everyone, even Murong Zun's expression violently changed. If it were a regular person of Canglong, he wouldn't care.
However, being the foster son of Ye Marshal was different, not to mention the state background, Ye Long had other powerful connections. Even the Murong Family had to be careful.
"Even if you are Ye Long's foster son, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Today's matter had better rot in your stomach, get lost!" Murong Zun coldly shouted.
Then he instructed Murong Bai, "Bury your sister, and the family members who died, throw Xiao Lou's body down the mountain to feed the jackals!"
"Brother Qin, let's take Senior Xiao's body with us!" the girl said softly.
Qin Xing was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "We will take Senior Xiao's body with us!"
"How dare you, do you really think I wouldn't kill you?" Murong Zun furiously said.
"Elder Murong, the man is dead, all past grudges should return to dust. Why must you still cling onto your anger and vent it on Senior Xiao's body, what's the point!" Qin Xing spoke neither servilely nor overbearingly.
Seeing Murong Zun silent, Qin Xing didn't say another word, stepped forward to pick up Xiao Lou's body, and walked down the mountain with the girl.
