Ultimate Path to Heaven

Chapter 3 wasn't thorough enough?

Mother?

"Does this mean I have a mother now?"

For Xiao Jin, the word "mother" was so unfamiliar, yet deep down he longed for it so much...

"Don't move, be careful of your wound!"

It wasn't until Xiao Muyu rushed to his bedside that Xiao Jin realized he wasn't dreaming. As for the original owner's memories and the so-called system, he temporarily put them aside.

Seeing his mother in this life, Xiao Jin's heart pounded. He couldn't tell if it was excitement or something else, but deep down he felt incredibly warm.

Tears welled in her smiling eyes as Xiao Muyu sat gently on the bed: "You scared your mother to death!"

Peeping at a woman taking a bath... Xiao Muyu didn't even need to think about it, but the ten lashes that framed her almost killed her.

"Life is unpredictable; just being alive is good enough."

The so-called "living" is actually Xiao Muyu's hope that her son Xiao Jin can live peacefully. If Xiao Jin were to meet with misfortune, then Xiao Muyu would naturally be unable to live.

Back then, Xiao Muyu was indeed filled with resentment and unwillingness... many thoughts, but as time passed, more than ten years later, Xiao Muyu's only wish was that Xiao Jin, her son, could live a safe and peaceful life.

As for the rest... well, that's fate!

Resign yourself to fate?

Upon learning that Xiao Jin had been whipped and unconscious, Xiao Muyu, who had already resigned herself to her fate... wavered!

"Don't say anything, Mother knows everything."

Signaling Xiao Jin to lie down, Xiao Muyu took the dark green herb leaves, rubbed them in her palm to extract a bitter juice, and then put them in her mouth to chew slowly.

After the leaves were chewed into a fine paste, Xiao Muyu lowered her head and spat it into her palm. She dipped her fingertips in the paste and gently applied it to the wound on Xiao Jin's back.

I was already feeling the 'wonder' that my mother was giving me, and now the cool medicinal properties were seeping into my skin and flesh, neutralizing the burning pain... So refreshing!

Thinking back to my past life... at this moment, my mother is lovingly applying herbal medicine to me...

[His injuries are healing on their own] With the help of the herbs, Xiao Jin was actually feeling a bit sleepy. After making a choice almost instinctively following the system prompt, he slowly closed his eyes.

By this time, the herbal medicine had been applied, and Xiao Muyu, now at ease, had a solemn expression, seemingly deep in thought.

moment.

Footsteps approached.

"You can't wait any longer?"

At this time, there should be no one else in Qingxi Village besides the village head.

as predicted.

With a creaking sound from the door, Muramasa was already inside. Xiao Muyu wiped the remaining mud from her palm before slowly looking at Muramasa.

His eyes were sharper than ever before, like a poisoned blade, his pupils contracted to the point of needles, and his cold light was piercing!

Muramasa shuddered involuntarily at this, but said, "You know how sudden things were yesterday. I wasn't at the manor. As for Jin's injuries..." He stopped mid-sentence.

At this moment, Xiao Muyu, looking at Muramasa, had bloodshot eyes, like prey ensnared in a spider's web. Wherever his gaze fell, it was as if the air itself had solidified into ice crystals... A chill ran through Muramasa, as if frost would freeze to his very bones!

But who is Muramasa, who can still live a "comfortable" life in this world? After a moment of calming down, he walked towards Xiao Muyu.

"I didn't want things to come to this, but you have to give in to me today, no matter what!"

This guy stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table, and he did so quite brazenly. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Muyu's collar, pulling her close to his face: "If you don't comply..." He looked at Xiao Jin, who seemed to be fast asleep.

At this moment, Xiao Muyu's eyes still held an undiminished cold light, yet she allowed Muramasa to sniff her face with an air of enjoyment. Muramasa took this as Xiao Muyu's tacit consent, which she was powerless to resist, and began to roam freely with her other hand.

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Muyu glanced at the door, her mouth slightly open as if she were about to shout, but she quickly stopped herself and reached under the bed... with scissors?

As soon as she heard the footsteps, Xiao Muyu hid the scissors behind her seat, but now the scissors have disappeared!

As she reached for the scissors, Xiao Muyu looked towards the door again, her mouth agape...

*Snap—Plop!*

"what!"

Warm drops of blood suddenly exploded before Xiao Muyu's eyes, like crushed cinnabar fruit, splattering unexpectedly onto her cheeks, causing her to instinctively scream in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the wooden door burst open, and two men burst in—the very men who had been hiding in the corner of the village head's house the previous night.

The man who entered first was about fifty years old, with a body like a dried cypress tree, rugged yet upright, with a weathered look in his eyes and a scar the size of a copper coin on his forehead—an arrow wound from more than ten years ago.

The man who followed was in his early forties, with a bronze complexion, a long scar on his cheek, and eyes that, while no longer showing signs of age, possessed a certain fortitude.

The two of them froze on the spot the moment they burst into the house.

At this moment, Muramasa, his pupils dilated, slowly collapsed to the ground... A pair of scissors was deeply embedded in his neck, the flesh torn open, blood still spurting out...

But what made the two of them freeze in place at this moment was not the Muramasa they were talking about—Xiao Jin!

Only when the two broke down the door and entered the house did Xiao Jin release his grip on the scissors that had been used to kill.

In the dead silence, the two of them, and even Xiao Muyu, stared at Xiao Jin in astonishment!

Apart from her slender, long eyebrows that seem to belong to a woman, everything else seems to have "changed," especially her eyes, which are no longer sickly cold and dull, but instead... clear and with a kind of bone-chilling coldness!

"Is...this Jin'er?"

Faced with such a sudden turn of events, Xiao Muyu could hardly believe that Xiao Jin... was her son!

Looking again at the two men who had burst through the door, they exchanged glances, then looked at Xiao Jin, and stared at each other again, their eyes wide with disbelief. Their expressions were so comical, they resembled idiots whose brains had short-circuited.

The scarred man's expression seemed to ask the older man, "Am I seeing things?"

The older man, who was also staring wide-eyed, remained stunned for three seconds before suddenly slapping the scarred man across the face.

After the scarred man reacted to the pain, the older man looked at Xiao Jin again, then turned back to the scarred man and said, "You didn't see wrong!"

The two did not utter a single word throughout the entire process, but it confirmed one fact—it was not a dream!

Putting aside the original owner Xiao Jin's cowardice, the flogging yesterday was still vivid in his mind... even if he didn't die, he would at least be half-dead...

At this moment, Xiao Jin's eyes were like sharp blades cutting flesh and bones, staring intently at Muramasa, who was still breathing, with an aura that seemed to want to tear Muramasa's soul to pieces.

"I finally have a mother, and you bastard dare to humiliate her, right in front of me..." He looked like he wanted to go up and stab her dozens more times.

Xiao Jin's thoughts were unknown to Xiao Muyu and the other two.

The original owner, Xiao Jin, was timid by nature and had a sickly complexion... He couldn't even utter a sound when trouble arose, and all he knew was to hide behind his mother, Xiao Muyu...

At this moment, Xiao Jin actually took Muramasa's life with a single snip of scissors, so cleanly and ruthlessly!

More importantly, the murderous intent in Xiao Jin's eyes... and the suffocating aura emanating from him... were completely different from the Xiao Jin of the past.

Xiao Jin could feel three pairs of eyes staring intently at him, but he had no time to pay attention, because the subtitles reappeared in front of him... The value had changed!

[Given that 'revenge' wasn't thorough enough (Xiao Jin's understanding of revenge), agility...]

(Impression: If a mission is not completed, corresponding points will be deducted. Once the points reach zero, life ends!)

Confused by the words "life ended," Xiao Jin didn't read any further... he panicked immediately, since all the initial values ​​were 1.

Not thorough enough?

Instinctively glancing at Muramasa, who was spitting out blood and barely clinging to life, Xiao Jin felt a chill run down his spine.

"Isn't this fucking thorough enough?"

Xiao Jin didn't want his life to end so soon after having a mother, with the number of zeros already.

That's enough!

"Then let's go all the way!"

Then, to Xiao Muyu's astonishment, Xiao Jin, forgetting the whip wound on his back, leaped up and swung his fist, smashing it heavily down into Muramasa's mouth, which was still spitting out blood!

"What the hell?"

"Isn't this... thorough enough?"

The punches continued... one, two, three... until the village chief was beyond dead, his face unrecognizable, yet there was still no sign of stopping...

(In Chu Xiong's words, you, Xiao Jin, are a beast, no, worse than a beast.)

At this moment, the two men looked at each other blankly, just like idiots.

This time, however, it was the older man's turn to stare wide-eyed at the scarred man. "Am I seeing things?"

The scarred man didn't react at all, staring at Xiao Jin with a blank, almost mechanical expression. His mouth was wide open, so wide it could almost fit a fist, and then all the muscles in his face seemed to stop moving, except for his nostrils which flared violently with his rapid breathing.
