"How have you been treated?"
Cai Rong spoke, with a hint of accusation in his tone.
The implication was that it was all your fault. He had treated you well enough, and any dissatisfaction stemmed from yourself.
"Wuwuwu..."
Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears.
"Mom, Mom!"
Cai Jin Qu originally intended to leverage this momentum to make Cai Rong yield. This way, he would have a small victory in terms of appearances.
But the reality was nothing like he had imagined.
"Stop crying, what's there to cry about! With my current situation..."
"You! You..."
Although the woman was angry and no longer afraid, she was so agitated that she couldn't speak.
This kind of crying had no effect on Cai Rong.
Instead, he felt that he bore no responsibility at all.
"Mom, Mom... What's wrong with you, what's wrong?"
Seeing his mother collapse after shouting his name, Cai Jin Qu cried out.
Cai Rong was stunned at first, his hand reaching forward, his steps moving forward, ready to help her. After all, there is a saying: "A day of marriage is a hundred days of kindness." Moreover, this was a decades-long marital bond. Sudanshu.com
"It's all your fault, don't come over! If it weren't for..."
Seeing his mother in such a state, Cai Jin Qu immediately bent down and supported his mother's upper body, his resentment towards Cai Rong growing even stronger.
How could such a dramatic scene lack an audience?
The headless corpse was patrolling with its two brothers when they happened to witness this scene.
Although their previous mission did not yield much, they still received praise from the visitor. This time, they were ordered to accompany the Ten-Faced Rakshasa to complete the lord's grand plan.
The visitor needed to constantly monitor the situation of the prey, so they dispatched many spirits.
The headless corpse did not want to miss this opportunity to achieve merit, so it volunteered.
"This old fellow is really something else!"
Said the fat ghost.
"What do you know? Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? He's not being excessive; he just wants a younger wife. Is it necessary to make such a fuss over it? I say, this old woman is just being ungrateful."
The skinny ghost chimed in immediately.
Mortals could not hear their conversation, but the headless corpse listened without interjecting.
When on a mission, who doesn't chat to pass the time?
"At least you shouldn't scare someone to death! After all, you were husband and wife. You should know gratitude!"
The fat ghost expressed its sentiments, but the skinny ghost disagreed and immediately retorted, "Oh really, when did you start understanding gratitude? When you were alive, I never saw you be grateful to anyone. Now that you're dead, what gratitude are you talking about!"
Having been together for so long, bickering was commonplace for them, and the headless corpse was accustomed to it.
"Big Brother said we should be grateful. If you don't believe me, ask him. Didn't Big Brother say that last time?"
The fat ghost said, looking at the headless corpse, and the skinny ghost also looked at it.
"Yes, yes, yes. I seem to recall him saying something like that... Hey, look quickly, something's happening!"
Said the headless corpse, pointing at the three people in the room.
He saw that the woman had fallen silent, and her hands had fallen to the floor.
Based on the headless corpse's experience, she was definitely dead!
As expected, "Mom~~"
With a long roar, Cai Jin Qu cried out.
Who could have imagined that a person would die in such a moment?
"Hurry up and call! Call a doctor!"
Cai Rong commanded, accustomed to ordering others.
At this moment, Cai Jin Qu was holding his mother's body and crying. With his mother gone, his last support had collapsed. How would he live in the future?
At this point, he was completely lost.
Cai Rong seemed to realize something, paced back and forth a couple of times, then turned to make a phone call.
"Quick! Catch her, don't let her escape!"
Commanded the headless corpse.
At this time, the woman's ghost had floated out of her body; it seemed her lifespan had ended.
It couldn't miss such an opportunity to obtain a ghost for free.
Without anyone to stop it, without any deity to interfere, such opportunities were rare.
Upon hearing the headless corpse's shout, the fat and skinny ghosts finally realized that this was a freebie, and it would be foolish not to take it.
The ghost had just left its body. Although reluctant to part with its physical form, the headless corpse pulled it out with force.
"Wait, where are you taking me?"
Hearing the ghost ask, the headless corpse casually replied, "Where can ghosts go? Isn't it to hell!"
This statement made it sound as if they were the black and white impermanence sent by hell.
Looking at the headless corpse, it indeed looked like it was sent by hell, lacking a complete human form.
The female ghost no longer argued; this was the procedure, and no one could avoid it.
"Stop... stop... you, you all stop!"
The headless corpse thought it had tricked the female ghost with one sentence and could smoothly return to the asura realm, but it never expected someone to block their path!
"Big Brother! Shall we go?"
Said the skinny ghost in a low voice.
Although the voice spoke, it was still some distance away from them.
The headless corpse quickly reached out to stop them, wanting to see the situation clearly first.
At this moment, a staggering figure approached from afar.
Seeing the swaying figure, the headless corpse thought this guy must be drunk.
When he was still five or six steps away, the headless corpse saw a small tag with "Xue" on his body.
It seemed to be this female ghost's guardian. But in this state, could he defeat the three of them?
The headless corpse was reluctant to fight, mainly because its magical powers were low. Even if it could win, it would likely be a close call.
It thought of a plan and immediately turned back, retreating towards the guardian. As it walked, it signaled to the fat and skinny ghosts to take the female ghost and leave first.
The skinny ghost was clever and immediately understood its elder brother's intentions. It pulled the fat ghost and quietly retreated.
The female ghost was also confused, not understanding the world of ghosts.
It was laughable, not knowing how to live when alive; and not knowing where to go when dead.
"Brother, where have you been having fun!"
"Who, who is your brother! I wasn't having fun? I'm just... I'm just..."
The guardian said, tilting the wine gourd in his hand, but not a single drop of wine was left.
"Alright, alright, if you say you weren't, then you weren't. We're here to help you. How will you thank me!"
The headless corpse suddenly blurted this out. The guardian, being thoroughly drunk, couldn't tell the difference.
"Thank you for what, thank you for what? You... don't try to trick me, I'm perfectly sober, I'm telling you!"
The guardian said, leaning drunkenly against the headless corpse.
Although the headless corpse had no head, it had a sturdy body and was not short. It could barely support the guardian's lean.
