"You are being very irresponsible talking like that," the elder woman said, her confidence returning as her husband was mentioned.
Upon hearing this, the dog spirit began to bark at the elder woman.
"..." Mu Anxiao, watching the elder woman's face contort as if about to start another war, and then looking at the female ghost spirit already dead because of her, said impatiently, "That's enough."
The elder woman: "I..."
"You, in league with that man, killed her. Not only that, you bludgeoned the dog that bit your husband to death with a hoe. All the other dogs were also killed by you. What more do you want?" Mu Anxiao's patience had run out.
"I..." the elder woman cried, "I just felt my husband died too unjustly." She began to sob.
"Your husband died unjustly," Mu Anxiao said with a cold smile. "Your husband was a person, so why aren't others? Is only your life precious, and not others'? I'm telling you, you are already guilty, do you know that?" She pointed her finger at the elder woman's face.
The elder woman was taken aback. "I am guilty?"
"Killing dogs, killing people," Mu Anxiao hadn't wanted to say it directly, but seeing the elder woman's unwillingness to repent, she felt it necessary. "These two offenses are enough to send you to hell."
"I only followed him, I didn't kill..."
"Then you are an accomplice."
"I..."
"I don't have the right to take your life, but what I want to say is," Mu Anxiao said with a serious expression, "if you don't do good deeds, and continue to act like a spoiled child who has nothing to lose, you won't have a good ending when you die. In other words, because of your actions, you might even implicate your loved ones." She deliberately made her words sound grave.
"Loved ones?"
"Yes, your wickedness will subtly influence your loved ones. If you wish to change," Mu Anxiao said, "you must do good deeds while you are still alive."
"I will do good deeds." The elder woman was scared.
"Are you sure you're not just saying that?"
"No, I will definitely do good deeds."
"Good," Mu Anxiao said, choosing to believe the elder woman for now. She pointed at the female ghost spirit. "Then, your first good deed is to apologize to her."
"I... no." The elder woman refused.
"Why?"
The elder woman: "Her dog killed my husband. I cannot forgive her."
"You took her life as well, and she hasn't held a grudge against you. Yet you hold a grudge against her. Do you have no shame?" Mu Anxiao was becoming completely impatient with the elder woman.
"..." The elder woman's eyes darkened.
The female ghost spirit said, "I don't need her to apologize to me. I just hope she receives the punishment she deserves." She glared at the elder woman.
Upon hearing this, the elder woman shifted her gaze to the female ghost spirit's face. "You..."
"Honestly, even after you killed me, I never thought of hating you because I found it pointless. But now," the female ghost spirit's eyes reddened, "I hate you. I just want to see you suffer more than I did."
"Don't curse me," the elder woman suddenly shouted.
"I will curse you. I curse you to be alone in your old age, I curse you to be despised by everyone, I curse you to live to a hundred years, tasting all the bitterness and hardship of the world. I curse you so that even dogs will ignore you." The female ghost spirit laughed. "Seeing you like this is enough for me."
Mu Anxiao had never deeply understood what it felt like to be cursed by a ghost.
But now, Mu Anxiao could truly hear the depth of the female ghost spirit's hatred for the elder woman, surpassing the elder woman's hatred for her.
These seemingly ordinary curses were, in fact, the most vicious to a person.
In life, a simple, peaceful old age was the most desired state for everyone. For some, it was a luxury. For the elder woman, it was an aspiration, and she was working towards it.
However, her fighting spirit was now completely extinguished by the female ghost spirit's brief curse.
"Take it back," the elder woman demanded.
The female ghost spirit, disdainful of the elder woman, looked down at the dog spirit. "I'm sorry, I was being selfish."
The dog spirit let out a bark.
The elder woman continued, "Take back what you said." As she spoke, she moved forward.
As the wind began to stir, Feng Qishi quickly stepped forward and grabbed the elder woman's arm. "Alright, you refuse to forgive her, and you won't let her speak? That's quite selfish."
"You..."
Before the elder woman could utter a word, Feng Qishi raised his hand and struck the back of her neck with force. The elder woman's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Mu Anxiao, witnessing Feng Qishi's smooth action, was startled. "You hit a woman."
"I didn't hit her, I just..." Feng Qishi said, gently laying the elder woman down on the ground. He straightened up and continued, "I just wanted us all to have some peace." He rubbed his ears.
Some personalities are very difficult to change.
Mu Anxiao had wanted to sway the elder woman with her words, hoping she would turn towards good and forget all past grievances. However, it turned out to be nothing more than Mu Anxiao's highly unrealistic fantasies.
The human heart, as it turned out, was the most difficult thing to change. Unless a person has the will to change themselves. For someone like the elder woman, who had no such intention, change... was out of the question.
"It was indeed quite noisy." She rubbed her ears, then looked down at the elder woman, frowning. "But speaking of which, she already admitted her mistake, why did you still do that?"
"At first, she was scared, so she... backed down. Later, as soon as she mentioned her husband, her cowardly nature resurfaced, and naturally, her true self was revealed," Feng Qishi said. "In other words, some things are etched into the bone. It's difficult to change them."
Feng Qishi's mother in the real world was like this. Therefore, he was not surprised by the elder woman's attitude.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao saw a shadow of Feng Qishi's mother in the elder woman, but she chose not to voice it.
"..." She glanced at Feng Qishi's suddenly melancholic expression, tugged at the silver thread, and then looked at the female ghost spirit. "Are you ready to go?"
"Mm," the female ghost spirit felt that Mu Anxiao's words were reasonable and compromised.
Seeing the female ghost spirit compromise, Mu Anxiao smoothly retracted the silver thread and looked down at the dog spirit. "This might be the best ending for you all." As she spoke, she raised her head to look at the female ghost spirit again.
The female ghost spirit, no longer as frightened after Mu Anxiao's words, said, "Mm, I think so too." She then glanced towards the door.
Mu Anxiao stared at the female ghost spirit and sighed.
Feng Qishi looked down at the elder woman's face, a strange feeling arising within him. "..."
Outside.
The wolf demon still stood with its back turned, a few steps away from Lin Yan and the Yin Messenger, not saying a word.
The Yin Messenger did not pay attention to the wolf demon. He withdrew his spell, tugged at Lin Yan's now warm hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's done."
Upon hearing this, the wolf demon turned around and said with a hint of dejection, "It's done already?"
