When Xiang Liu saw that Butler Li had lost his will to fight, he put away the dagger, then restrained his breath and lowered his whole body to the lowest level. She just stood there quietly like that.
Butler Li was silent, his eyes were a little dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The only sound left in the huge stone room was Mu Mengzi's cry. She was crying to her mother like a wronged child.
The woman who was lying quietly in the crystal coffin moved her brows slightly, as if she would wake up at any time.
Butler Li seemed to have noticed the woman's strange movements. He knelt down and clasped his fists with a panicked look on his face: "Miss, you must not do this! If you wake up at this time, your condition will definitely be unstable!"
"If I wake up now, I'm afraid all these years of hard work will be in vain!"
Butler Li was extremely anxious.
The woman in the crystal coffin frowned slightly, as if she was distressed.
Mu Mengzi raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and looked at Butler Li with red eyes: "What on earth is going on?"
Just now, Mu Mengzi felt a shaky breath in her mother's body, which meant that her mother was not completely dead yet!
This is not bad news, but it is not good news either. After all, no one knows when this shaky atmosphere will dissipate.
Butler Li took a deep breath and looked at Mu Mengzi. He saluted again and said cautiously: "This subordinate deserves to die for not recognizing my little master! Please punish me, little master!"
Mu Mengzi was not in the mood to punish Butler Li. She just wanted to know why her mother became like this.
"Tell me first, what is going on?" Mu Mengzi pointed at her mother in the crystal coffin with an anxious look.
Butler Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
Mu Mengzi stared at him with a heavy face, as if he couldn't get through the matter today if he didn't give an answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Butler Li sighed and said, "Looking at the little master's condition, she should have come out already!"
Mu Mengzi didn't react at first, but within a few seconds she understood who he was talking about.
It should be Feiyao occupying her body.
"Are you talking about Fei Yao?" Mu Mengzi asked.
Butler Li's eyes were slightly surprised, and he was obviously surprised that Mu Mengzi knew the other person's name: "Yes, it's her!"
Mu Mengzi didn't hide anything and told the story of how Feiyao took over her body and how she was forced to use Yu'er's body.
After listening to Mu Mengzi's explanation, Butler Li sighed again and looked at the woman in the crystal coffin: "Miss, we should take precautions and let her come out!"
Mu Mengzi felt like she was being blinded and couldn't understand what Butler Li was talking about: "What's going on?"
Butler Li's eyes fell back on Mu Mengzi: "Back to my little master, you should have learned from the Immortal Master that your family has been a single line since ancient times, and it is because of women!"
Mu Mengzi thought about the woman who was called the Lord by the Flower Fairy, and her expression was not very good: "You know, is it because we sealed Fei Yao with our body?"
Steward Li nodded indeed: "Little Master, the origin of your family can be traced back to the ancient times. At that time, Master Yan Wu, for some unknown reason, used the body of your ancestor to seal Feiyao, a visitor from the outside world."
As he spoke, his eyes once again fell on Mu Mengzi's mother in the crystal coffin.
"Since the sealing, the little master's ancestors have always been from a single lineage and all of them are women."
He paused for a moment, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Its lifespan is not long. As long as a son is born, the son will definitely devour the mother's vitality."
Mu Mengzi recalled the information that the Lord Huaxian said told her, and confirmed: "The purpose of devouring his mother's life force is to stabilize the seal!?"
Butler Li nodded.
Seeing that this was indeed the case, Mu Mengzi's eyes became gloomy.
This seal was set by Senior Yan Wu, so devouring life force to stabilize the seal must also be part of Senior Yan Wu's design!
When Mu Mengzi first came into contact with Senior Yan Wu, she was still full of awe, but after learning about the tragic fate of their lineage, Mu Mengzi no longer had any awe for Senior Yan Wu, only hatred!
Butler Li hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Actually... I am ordered by Senior Yanwu to serve the little master's clan for the rest of my life!"
Mu Mengzi suddenly raised his head, looked at Butler Li coldly, and sneered: "You shouldn't be serving my clan, right?"
"You should be spying on our clan!"
Butler Li looked at Mu Mengzi, who was staring at him coldly, and did not speak to defend himself: "No matter what the young master thinks, I am ordered to serve for life, and I will serve for life!"
Mu Mengzi didn't want to argue too much with him on this issue: "I don't care why Yan Wu wants to seal Feiyao on our clan, and I don't care if you are sincere or have other motives. I just want to know that I
What happened to mother!"
Logically speaking, she should have swallowed her mother's life hair after she was born, just like what she saw in Hu Zhe's fantasy world.
But it wasn't like she saw it now. Her mother was lying in the crystal coffin and there was still an aura that was restraining her vitality.
Although his mother is not dead, she is no different from pretending to be dead.
Mu Mengzi didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, but fortunately her mother was not dead yet.
Butler Li opened his mouth to explain: "Actually, the young lady should have been devoured by the young master from the beginning."
As he spoke, Butler Li's expression became self-blame: "But your father..."
Butler Li's words suddenly turned to Mu Mengzi's father Mu Duanru, which made Mu Mengzi a little confused: "What does this have to do with him?"
Butler Li sighed again: "I told him the secrets of the little master's family."
Mu Mengzi once again recalled how she saw her father and housekeeper Li witnessing her killing her mother in Hu Zhe's fantasy world.
In this case, what she saw in the illusion was probably something she had actually experienced.
Mu Mengzi took a deep breath and tried to stabilize her emotions: "Then?"
"Actually, he loves Miss very much!" Butler Li looked up at Mu Mengzi, whose expression remained unchanged.
He knew that Mu Mengzi had a strong opinion against Mu Duanru. When she fled the Mu family, he knew that the pent-up dissatisfaction in the little master's heart broke out.
So he secretly helped Mu Mengzi escape from the Mu family. Otherwise, how could Mu Mengzi, who was so young, have escaped the tracking of the Mu family and the searches of other major families?
"When he learned the secret, he didn't believe it at first. I could only show my strength to convince him."
"Later, he began to look for an ending that could avoid the mother-daughter fight."
Mu Mengzi's eyes dodge unconsciously. It turns out that her father still loves her mother so much.
The mother lying in the crystal coffin is the best proof.
At first, Mu Mengzi thought that her father did not love her mother, otherwise he would not have been so mean to her since she was a child.
But now it seems that her father treated her like this because he probably hated her for taking away his beloved mother.
At this moment, Mu Mengzi hated herself. Why was she born? Why did she hurt her mother?
When Mu Mengzi blamed himself, Butler Li continued: "He worked hard, and in the end he even...even..."
Seeing Butler Li hesitating, Mu Mengzi temporarily suppressed her self-blame: "Even to what?"
Butler Li replied as if he regretted the past: "He is possessed by a demon! He actually plans to let other substitute ladies die!"
As soon as he said these words, Mu Mengzi remembered the scene in Hu Zhe's fantasy world when he pushed in and witnessed the river of blood in the small courtyard.
It turned out that all this was really not an illusion. Her body softened and she leaned back against the crystal coffin.
Not only did she almost kill her mother, she also caused a murder.
When Butler Li saw Mu Mengzi acting like this, he naturally realized that she knew something about the inside story: "He found some fugitive criminals or people who were smuggled abroad, and planned to exchange their lives for the young lady's life."
"But he failed, but not completely."
"Little master, you only killed one person at first, but later on, little master became possessed and you killed everyone in the courtyard."
"At that time, the young lady couldn't bear to let him continue to make mistakes, so she escaped from his house arrest and went to see you, my young master."
"When we learned all this, it was already too late. By the time we arrived..."
Butler Li did not continue.
Mu Mengzi's originally red eyes shed tears again, and then added the words that Butler Li did not say: "You saw me kill my mother with my own hands!"
Butler Li lowered his eyebrows and couldn't bear it.
Mu Mengzi bit her lip to prevent herself from crying, and a choked voice sounded: "Then, how did my mother escape?"
Butler Li raised his eyes again and looked at the young lady in the crystal coffin: "Because the young master started to cause a massacre, the bloody atmosphere caused Feiyao's seal to loosen."
"At that time, Feiyao's power directly overwhelmed the power of the seal, so it did not completely swallow up the young lady's life."
Mu Mengzi laughed at himself, never thinking that he had killed so many people before saving his mother's life.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Fei Yao. If her power hadn't overcome the seal, I'm afraid my mother would have...
If she had to choose again, she would still kill those people without hesitation!
As long as he saves his mother's life, why not go to hell?
Mu Mengzi's thoughts were confused and she didn't know what to do next.
Seeing the deathly silence in the young master's eyes, Butler Li quickly said: "Now that the young master is back, Fei Yao must have broken free from the seal. Then the curse of the young master's lineage will be gone."
I thought this sentence would make Mu Mengzi look a little happy, but she didn't change at all, as if she didn't hear Butler Li's words at all.
He was afraid that Mu Mengzi would be upset if he knew all this, so he quickly said again: "The top priority now should be to find a way to save the young lady!"
When these words came out, the deathly silence in Mu Mengzi's eyes faded a little, and there was a little more hope in his eyes: "What can I do to save my mother?"
Butler Li took a deep breath and said, "My lady has been recuperating for many years, and her injuries have long since healed."
"What's left for us is to find immortal grass or other items with enough vitality to make up for the vitality devoured by the little master!"
When Mu Mengzi heard the word fairy grass, the first thing she thought of was the flower fairy she met today. As a flower fairy, she must have the fairy grass to replenish her vitality.
If the flower fairy cannot be found, Mu Mengzi plans to go to the fairyland restaurant to find the flower fairy's master. Presumably, as the flower fairy's master, she should also have the fairy grass to restore vitality.
As long as she can save her mother, she can pay any price.
