Chapter 1231: Let's Talk

There was no nanny hired in the villa. Li Wan served water to the few people present, and when she poured water for Zhou Bin, Zhou Bin shuddered subconsciously.

"Little Bin, what's wrong with you?" Li Wan looked at Zhou Bin strangely; she was somewhat puzzled by her nephew's reaction.

"No, it's nothing, thank you, Aunt." Zhou Bin forced a smile and hurriedly expressed his thanks.

It was just that his face was a bit pale, and he seemed to be somewhat afraid.

Zhou Bin was an ordinary person; it was normal for him to be afraid after hearing Chen Yu explain this matter.

Li Wan poured water for Zhou Bin, then sat to one side.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stifling. Chen Yu glanced at Zhou Yuan, then nodded at him.

Zhou Yuan took a sudden gulp of water, then placed the cup heavily on the table. He raised his head and said, "Wan'er, let's... talk."

"If you have something to say, just say it directly," Li Wan said indifferently.

"About your sister," Zhou Yuan gripped the cup tightly, appearing somewhat nervous. "I think..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" A trace of icy chill emerged in Li Wan's eyes, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees in that instant.

"I know you can't let go of your sister, but she is already dead," a look of pain appeared on Zhou Yuan's face. "She cannot come back to life."

"And I have been delirious for these past few years, nearly unable to return, all because of the intrusion of Yin energy. Wan'er, can't we... live our lives normally, just like before?"

Zhou Yuan said everything he had to say in one breath; he felt a sense of relief.

The relationship between the couple had been extremely good in the past, so even though he did not support Li Wan setting up a mourning hall at home to raise a corpse and nurture a soul, he had not said anything.

But now he felt he had to have a showdown, because after waking up, he discovered that his wife also had a trace of Yin cold energy on her at some point.

He felt that this matter could not be dragged on any longer; if things continued like this, Li Wan might also be unable to return.

"Live our lives normally, just like before? Am I not normal?" Li Wan said sharply.

She suddenly raised her head, the chill in her eyes fully revealed: "Do you think we are not normal now?"

"I... I didn't mean that. Wan'er, your sister is dead, she cannot come back. The Soul Nourishing Technique you learned in Southeast Asia simply cannot resurrect her."

Zhou Yuan stood up and mustered his courage: "Let go, let us also let her go. Let her peacefully enter Reincarnation, wouldn't that be better?"

"You actually said these things in front of everyone; it seems you have already found an expert." Li Wan sneered, and she said sharply: "I never intended to hide it from you when I did these things."

"You promised me that you would support everything I do, but now, what have you done?"

With a 'whoosh', an extremely cold aura surged from Li Wan's body. Zhou Yuan let out a muffled groan, and under his wife's gaze, his feet involuntarily lifted off the ground.

He looked at Li Wan and hissed: "Look at what you have become now? Are you still like a teacher? What I respected was the gentle woman from the past, not a madwoman."

"A madwoman? Heh, how many years has it been? You have finally said what you wanted to say in your heart. In your eyes, I am a madwoman, is that right?" Li Wan laughed.

Her gaze was profound, and the killing intent in her eyes grew increasingly intense: "From the moment I decided to start resurrecting my sister, you have already regarded me as a madwoman, haven't you?"

"Yes, and you know it too, that is an impossible thing. She has already passed on; can we let her rest in peace? If this continues, she will undergo a corpse transformation."

"Shut up! This is the Soul Nourishing Technique passed down to me by a high monk from Southeast Asia. As long as I sincerely offer it fresh blood every day and keep my sister's Soul Consciousness from extinguishing, one day, she will wake up."

"The master has saved many people using this method. By what right do you say I cannot? By what right do you say my sister cannot come back to life?"

"Do you know?" Li Wan suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed at the empty air.

Zhou Yuan, whose feet were off the ground, suddenly felt his neck tighten. He let out a muffled groan, his hands clutching his throat tightly; he already felt he could not breathe.

"She and I grew up depending on each other. I cannot just give up like this, I cannot! I originally thought you would understand me, but I did not expect that in your eyes, I am nothing but a madwoman."

Li Wan shrieked, her hands gradually tightening, and Zhou Yuan in mid-air found his breathing obstructed, nearly suffocating.

"Aunt, don't be like this. My uncle didn't mean that. Please let him go, otherwise he will die." Zhou Bin hurriedly lunged forward.

"And you..." Li Wan split off her other hand and grabbed at the empty air.

Zhou Bin also felt his neck tighten; it was as if he had been lifted into mid-air by a giant hand.

His body also floated in mid-air, and the uncle and nephew stood there eerily.

"You really think that because you cured your uncle's illness, I would be grateful to you? In my eyes, what is important is my sister; no one is more important than her," Li Wan shouted in a low voice.

"Chen... Teacher Chen." Zhou Bin looked with difficulty toward Chen Yu on the side.

"Why must you do this?" Chen Yu sighed slightly.

"I will deal with you after I free up my hands, you meddlesome person." Li Wan stared coldly at Chen Yu, then exerted force with both hands, intending to end the lives of the uncle and nephew.

But just in this instant, her consciousness suddenly tightened, and her entire consciousness seemed to float out of her body. Her expression stalled slightly, and then her hands involuntarily let go.

"What did you do to me?" Li Wan looked at Chen Yu in disbelief; she had an intuition that it must be Chen Yu playing tricks.

"It was nothing more than a wave of mental shock, it counts for nothing," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I hope you can turn back from your lost path."

"Turn back from my lost path? Heh, I have seen plenty of sanctimonious guys like you. Do you think you are an expert?" Li Wan sneered. She raised her head and stared fixedly at Chen Yu.

"Do you think you can redeem me? I tell you, no one can stop me from resurrecting my sister."

"Perhaps, you might succeed," Chen Yu said indifferently. "But have you ever thought that the 'her' you resurrect is actually no longer her?"

"What do you mean?" Li Wan's expression stalled, and she looked at Chen Yu with some confusion.

"Perhaps she is no longer that sister you are familiar with, because for years after her death, her soul has never received redemption," Chen Yu said. "Perhaps her heart has long been filled with resentment."

"She was originally meant to enter Reincarnation. If it weren't for you, perhaps she would have already been reborn as a human, perhaps she would have a happy family, and everything would have started anew."

"But because of you, her soul is locked in place, and the scenes that once happened to her are replayed over and over again. Do you think this is all she wants?"
