Chapter 414

"Thump!"

When the couple heard Tang An say she was going to kill them, they were so scared they knelt down on the spot.

"We really don't remember clearly, it was too long ago, you were all just children back then, we actually didn't have any malicious intent..."

Tang An's gaze shifted over, and the middle-aged woman was so scared she immediately fell silent and hid behind her husband.

But her husband wasn't any better; he even dragged his wife out and pushed her forward.

"Six hundred yuan, the money we relied on to survive, yet you don't even remember it."

Killing intent filled Tang An's eyes as she rubbed her index finger, her consciousness clearly teetering on the edge of reason.

"Back then, your son bullied me, and I cursed back. He pushed me, so I pushed back. He pinned me down and beat me, so I hit him on the head with a brick; that could have settled the karma."

"But you shouldn't have come to my door, you shouldn't have bullied the two of us, a grandmother and granddaughter with no power or support."

"So the karma owed that day has now come to the time for repayment."

Tang An took two purple-black talisman papers from her Wealth Gathering Ring, which then transformed into two rays of light that struck the couple's foreheads.

The couple felt a blur before their eyes, and when they could see clearly again, they found themselves in the courtyard of Tang An and her grandmother.

Before they could react, Tang An pressed down on each of their heads with one hand, forcing them to kowtow heavily in the courtyard.

One wasn't enough, so she made them do a second, a third, a fifth, a tenth...

Tang An only stopped when their foreheads were bleeding, their emotions had collapsed, and they were so scared they had lost control of their bladders.

"You caused my grandmother to be plagued by illness and pain from that day on. So I will have you two, from this day forward, be plagued by a hundred illnesses, and no matter which path you are reincarnated into, it will be inescapable for ten lifetimes."

"I also want you to suffer disaster after disaster, be bullied and swindled, and live in poverty for the rest of your lives."

As she spoke, Tang An used her Dharma power to grab their heads, forcing them to look forward at the spot where her grandmother had once humbled herself to apologize and pay them money.

"This place, this position, I have remembered for over a decade. From now on, it's your turn to remember it."

"Only by kneeling here and slapping yourselves will you be able to reduce the pain in your bodies."

"Remember, the more sincere the slaps, the more the corresponding pain will be reduced."

"Don't hope that a hospital can cure you; in this world, no one can save you from my hands."

Tang An let them go and disgustedly took out a tissue to wipe her hands.

"Remember, from now on, this courtyard will be a nightmare you won't be able to escape for ten lifetimes." After saying this, Tang An dropped the tissue.

Before the tissue hit the ground, it spontaneously combusted into nothingness.

Tang An turned and left; the moment she took a step, her body vanished from the spot.

The couple both shouted and panicked, thinking they had seen a ghost, but no matter if they took out their phones to call for help or tried to escape the courtyard, they couldn't get out, nor could they get a call through.

Yes, the beginning of a nightmare starts with destroying a person's spirit.

First the spirit, then the body, then the spirit again, then the social reality they have to face, and finally, the complete collapse of their spirit.

Want to die? No, the curse Tang An placed in their bodies meant the only possibility for them was to live out their natural lifespans. Suicide would only add pain and extra expenses; they couldn't die.

At Wang Maolin's house.

Wang Maolin didn't know what had happened; he only knew that in the blink of an eye, the couple beside him had disappeared. And Tang An was still sitting calmly on the sofa opposite him.

"Where are they?"

"Did they leave?"

How could two perfectly fine people vanish into thin air?

Wang Maolin began to panic, because seeing Tang An again this time, he found that things were starting to become eerie.

"You wouldn't want to know where they went, or what their fate is."

"But their accounts have been settled. Now, it's time to settle ours."

Wang Maolin pointed at Tang An. "What do you want to do?"

"No matter what, I am your biological father, your biological father, do you understand?"

"Pika~"

Blood splattered everywhere as the arm Wang Maolin was pointing at Tang An with fell to the ground.

It happened so fast that Wang Maolin didn't even react for a moment.

"Ah!"

"Ah!!!!"

The pain of the severed arm, along with an incredibly intense burning sensation, made Wang Maolin collapse against the side of the sofa. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging, his face flushed red, gasping for air, nearly fainting from the pain.

Seeing this scene, there wasn't a hint of mercy in Tang An's eyes.

"Compared to the pain my mother suffered in the hospital, what you're suffering now is nothing."

Tang An stood up and walked in front of Wang Maolin, holding a piece of iron-like Dharma treasure in her hand.

She gave Nezha a look, and Nezha understood, using fire to heat the iron piece until it was glowing red.

"Wang Maolin, this is the first big gift I have for you."

"To repay you for abandoning your wife and daughter at the hospital. To repay you for the unbearable things you said to my mother outside the ward, which indirectly led to her death from hemorrhaging."

Wang Maolin's eyes widened, and he tried to move to the side.

Tang An grabbed Wang Maolin back with one hand, and with the other, she pressed the iron piece fiercely onto his severed arm.

"Sizzzz~"

It was the sound of a teppanyaki grill, the smell of flesh being roasted.

Wang Maolin's whole body went rigid from the pain, and unable to take it, he fainted.

Sun Wukong had been prepared; he cast a small spell, drawing water from the bathroom and splashing it all over Wang Maolin.

Forcing him to wake up just after he had fainted.

"You're not her! You're not that dead girl, you're not!"

"Let me go! I'm going to call the police, call the police and have you all arrested!"

Wang Maolin couldn't care about anything else anymore; he just wanted to live. His brain was so painful he was no longer clear-headed or normal.

Tang An leaned down close to him, her smile filled with cruelty and madness. She grabbed Wang Maolin by the throat, forcing him to look her in the eye.

"Does the smell of roasted human flesh smell good?"

"But I have witnessed scenes a hundred times more cruel than roasted human flesh."

"I have experienced two near-death encounters, almost killing my own loved ones with my own hands. I was stabbed in the back by my so-called master, calculated and kidnapped by the whole world, and forced to survive by the skin of my teeth."

"And you, my biological father. When I was experiencing those things, when I was missing, where were you? What were you doing?"

"You were enjoying your life, living so happily and joyfully in a complete family."

"Wang Maolin, why? Why can scum like you live with such peace of mind? Why have you been able to abandon me for over twenty years without any psychological burden! Why!!"

Tears welled up in Tang An's eyes, her pupils bloodshot, her body trembling slightly from the intensity of her emotions. She wished she could use just a little more strength to choke him to death right there!

Wang Maolin looked at the daughter before him who seemed to have gone mad, feeling her to be incredibly strange, frightening, and even terrifying.

He couldn't connect her in any way to the daughter in his memory who looked obedient and watched his eyes with such caution.
