After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum-Chapter 114: Overestimating Oneself

Chapter 114: Overestimating Oneself

Although Mengyu was merely a Cultivator at the Gathering Essence First Layer and a Second-level Martial Artist, she possessed a Wood Element Heavenly Spirit Root.

And those with Spirit Roots naturally have strong soul power.

Therefore, as she made grand gestures, the Essence of Heaven and Earth from the surroundings quickly swarmed, entering the He Family.

As Cheng Jiuhe approached the He Family, he felt an intense chill, but now, he felt as if basking in the spring breeze, warm and comforting.

Xiao He felt this even more intensely.

Ever since his brother returned home, being near him felt persistently cold, and the feeling deepened over time. Today, Xiao He felt as though his whole body was submerged in icy water, as if ice formed on him, slowing his movements.

But now, it felt as though sunlight was shining directly on him from all directions, incredibly warm!

Xiao He felt the ice on his body melting.

What he hadn’t noticed was his brother’s expression easing. His own spirit was gradually sinking into his heart.

However, at this moment, Mengyu was in danger: she overestimated herself!

The result of overestimating herself was that she almost lost her life here.

Mengyu overestimated herself.

It was her first time performing the ritual, following Xiao Tao’s instructions to gather the Essence of Heaven and Earth to dispel Evil Energy for the two brothers.

However, the Evil Energy they had attracted was too immense; with her current power, the Essence of Heaven and Earth she could summon was insufficient.

After exhausting her energy, she only managed to dispel a third of the Evil Energy from the two brothers.

Xiao Tao warned her, "Master, you cannot continue, or you will be backfired upon."

However, she disliked leaving things unfinished.

She took out a Yuan Nourishing Pill to consume.

Xiao Tao stopped her again, "Master, you should not take the Yuan Nourishing Pill; it will make you advance too rapidly, which makes it easier for you to experience Deviation."

But Mengyu wouldn’t listen to it.

"Master, you must not gather any more Essence of Heaven and Earth."

Xiao Tao was too noisy, so Mengyu simply blocked the space. Finally, she could no longer hear Xiao Tao’s voice.

She took a Yuan Nourishing Pill, started restoring her power, and continued to gather the Essence of Heaven and Earth.

But before the energy from the pill could take effect, the Evil Energy turned and attacked her.

Initially, it wasn’t so severe, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered her past life; she was sold to Tiger Valley, where each night, she was tortured alternately by the Zhou Brothers.

She recalled the two times she tried to escape and was captured.

The first time, she was beaten half to death, and the second time they said they would give her an unforgettable lesson.

She never knew that the so-called unforgettable lesson was to be violated by a group of human traffickers until she passed out.

The lesson was indeed profound; for nine years, she didn’t make a move, not until the tenth year when she finally found a chance to escape. But she had barely escaped the deep mountains when Jiang Huaiyu hit her with his car.

So, she had suffered such tragic incidents; her body felt so unclean that only blood could cleanse it. She felt more and more resentment brewing in her chest, turning into aggressiveness.

This aggressiveness filled Mengyu’s chest, as if it might explode.

She even wanted to cut open her own chest with a knife to let the air out and cleanse her body with blood.

And indeed, in her hand appeared a short sword—a short sword she had acquired from the Artifact Pavilion in the thatched house—without hesitation, she stabbed it towards her own chest.
