Chapter 544: Ta Lo Village and the Unresolved Regret (First update, please subscribe!)
Sunset, the afterglow shining.
Apartment entrance.
Melina's hair was wet and wrapped in a bath towel; although she looked very tired, she was radiant, and there was light in her eyes.
Especially the look in her eyes when she looked at Su Quan; anyone who saw it would feel that Su Quan was very important to her.
Don't misunderstand!
Melina looking like this wasn't because Su Quan did anything to her, but because she had injected the Super Soldier Serum.
Now she, like her 'fake husband' Alexei, is a super soldier.
And, the quality is higher than his!
"I have other things to deal with; when I'm not here, if you have anything, you can go to the next door to find White Queen."
"After your mission is completed, she will go with you to see Dreykov, and then control him."
Su Quan gave a few instructions and turned to walk toward the apartment next door.
The apartment next door had already been bought by White Queen with gold and psychic ability; the original owner's family had moved out, and all daily necessities had been replaced with new ones.
"The Red Room is the second target of this trip, so the last target, I think it should be Wenwu and the Ten Rings Gang, right?"
After Su Quan returned, White Queen guessed with a smile.
"Yes, and no!"
Su Quan explained with a smile: "Wenwu and the Ten Rings Gang are actually not important; what I am interested in is the force behind his wife."
"That place is called Ta Lo, a place similar to K'un-Lun, both are pocket dimensions that exist independently."
"There, a soul-eating monster that ran out from some dimension is sealed, which can feed on souls; the people of Ta Lo Village have guarded the seal for generations, and with the help of a dragon's power, they silently protect the world."
"Ta Lo opens once a year, and very few people know the legend of Ta Lo and the location of Ta Lo."
White Queen knew quite a bit about the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven from Nine-Spider Lady, and also had a certain understanding of K'un-Lun.
A place similar to K'un-Lun is indeed worth Su Quan's interest.
"Does this Ta Lo have any special power?" White Queen asked curiously.
Su Quan's hands moved gently, and an invisible energy emerged, growing slowly.
"What is this?" White Queen felt it.
"Dragon power, a special power unique to Ta Lo Village."
Su Quan explained with a smile: "This power comes from the dragon of Ta Lo Village; it is a power similar to Qi, which can increase the attributes of the body in various aspects to different degrees."
White Queen asked with emotion: "Do all the people in Ta Lo Village possess dragon power?"
Su Quan shook his head dumbly: "How is that possible? Only a few people with talent and opportunity can comprehend dragon power; for example, Wenwu's wife, before she was abducted by Wenwu, she was the gatekeeper of Ta Lo Village."
"Since she possessed dragon power, why was she so easily killed by Wenwu's enemies?" White Queen was somewhat puzzled.
Su Quan shrugged: "Because Wenwu and she wanted to stay in Ta Lo Village to live in seclusion, but were rejected; when they left, she also returned the dragon power to Ta Lo."
Speaking of this, Su Quan sighed and continued: "Even without dragon power, she was a kung fu master, but for the sake of her children, she had many scruples, and in the end, she was beaten to death alive."
"If Wenwu had left a few subordinates to protect his wife and children, their strength didn't need to be very strong, as long as they took the children away or helped her share some of the firepower, she wouldn't have died."
"Although Wenwu was annoyed and angry afterward, regretting and blaming himself, but, what's the use?"
Regretting after things happened?
What were you doing earlier!
Look at what Wenwu did after his wife died: put on the Ten Rings again, rebuilt the Ten Rings Gang, and trained Shang-Chi, who was still a child, into a killer.
Is this something a father can do?
Most importantly, he was also patriarchal; on one hand, he cruelly trained his son, and on the other, he completely ignored his daughter.
Ultimately leading to his son leaving him when he was fourteen, and his daughter leaving him when she was sixteen.
And then, they became enemies!
Although becoming enemies also has the reason of Shang-Chi being brain-dead, Wenwu's persona of loving his wife and being crazy for his wife really doesn't hold up.
If the perspective of the story wasn't Shang-Chi, wasn't Wenwu, but her, it would be a proper unresolved regret!
A goddess living in seclusion in Ta Lo Village, silently protecting the seal and protecting the world, having beauty and strength, just because she met a tyrant who had conquered the world for thousands of years, who was also her defeated opponent, because of her innocence and romance, her heart was captured.
In the end, she gave up her mission, gave up her clansmen, gave up her power, left with him, gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and lived a life of helping her husband and teaching her children.
That would be fine.
But Wenwu's enemies came to the door, Wenwu happened not to be at home, and then, she was beaten to death just like that.
You think the tragedy ended when she died?
No!
It had just begun!
The son she loved was cruelly trained into a killer by his biological father, and the daughter she was obedient to was ignored by her biological father and became a transparent person.
It was hard for the daughter to escape from this tyrant father!
Ten years later, he directly sent subordinates to snatch the necklace their mother left them.
Saying everything to enter Ta Lo, to save his wife who had clearly been dead for many years, but was stubbornly considered by him to be sealed!
Although this has the reason of the soul-eating monster instigating and bewitching, for the children to stop him like this, and you still want to go your own way, and even attack them, this is a bit wrong, right?
And then? You led a team to kill into Ta Lo, released the soul-eating monster; if it weren't for Shang-Chi's protagonist halo, Ta Lo Village and the dragon would have been finished!
Even after defeating the soul-eating monster in the end, Ta Lo Village suffered heavy losses!
What kind of thing is this!
Simply summarizing her experience, it is that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, gave up everything she originally had, and died because of him.
After death, not only was her pair of children abused, their childhood was tragic, but even her maiden family was almost destroyed by this man!
Like this, Wenwu still has the nerve to set up a persona of loving his wife?
She just couldn't be resurrected; if she were resurrected, she would absolutely have to become enemies with Wenwu!
In Su Quan's view, her life after meeting Wenwu was a proper tragedy.
She had dragon power, could beat Wenwu who possessed the Ten Rings, and could snatch the Ten Rings from Wenwu's hands and control the Ten Rings!
Not to mention her tragic life, nor her beauty and temperament, just from the fact that she could use the Ten Rings, Su Quan would find a way to recruit her.
