Zhongli Yuan, who had died years ago, suddenly appeared in front of her, claiming to demand her life.
To say she wasn't afraid would be a lie.
Xiao Rong'er turned pale.
Her hand trembled as she gripped the treasure sword, her eyes reflecting deep fear.
"No... it wasn't me who killed you... but you deserved it... you all deserved it! Your daughter deserved it even more! Her Life Chart was meant for my daughter... only by killing you could my daughter become the Phoenix Girl!"
She seemed to suppress the fear in her heart with anger, laughing as she ran towards Zhongli Yuan.
Zhongli Yuan asked confusedly, "Your daughter? Are you talking about the one you harmed to death?"
Xiao Rong'er was struck as if by a blow, vehemently denying, "I didn't... it wasn't me! I didn't harm Ziyu!"
