Chapter 135. Panic, fear, aftermath
A good man in a hurry to rush home after finishing his business, Lianshan never expected to witness such a scene that would shock him to his core and rattle his nerves.
He watched in horror as the damned Wu Xia swung a foot-long slaughter knife viciously toward his wife. His heart almost stopped beating with fear. All he could think about was rushing forward, even if he couldn’t kick away the lunatic Wu Xia in time, at least he could take the lethal stab for his wife.
What happened next completely overturned Lianshan’s entire twenty-seven years of understanding.
Just when he thought his wife wouldn’t escape this fatal blow, the little cotton seedlings that she had just transplanted in the shed suddenly grew like crazy. They wrapped around like a green prison, tightly locking Wu Xia inside.
The woman who had been so arrogant was now helplessly struggling, desperately trying to break free from the cotton branches tightening around her neck. But it was futile, her struggles grew smaller and weaker...
Regaining his voice only after a long moment, Lianshan heard himself shouting in a changed tone, trying to stop his wife from this obvious act of silencing a murder.
The careful secret she had kept for so long was unexpectedly revealed, and in such a shocking manner...
In an instant, Shuzhen felt as if all her strength had been drained, filled with fear completely.
Her mind had totally shut down, only repeating endlessly: What should I do? What should I do? How could I let Lianshan see this cruel and strange side of mine! Can he accept this bizarre ability of mine? Can he understand that I fought back because my life was threatened, with an eye for an eye mentality? Will he think I’m a monster and ignore me from now on, or even turn me in to the authorities? Will he see me as ruthless and scheming, and never look at me again?
