Chapter 331 Past Dreams 2
001: "Host, you completely overlooked the resilience in your bones and your strong obsession with finding your younger brother! Driven by these two, you went through all sorts of trouble to escape while being sent into the mountains, and even seriously injured the two aunts who came to 'send you off'. I must say, host, you did a great job this time!"
Wei Ying and the others who were listening in couldn't help but feel pleased when they heard 001 continue to recount the arduous and painstaking journey Wei Chaoyan had taken to find his brother after escaping in his previous life.
"After the host escaped, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak back into Wei Village, took the remaining money from his home, and set fire to his own house. He also set fire to several other houses in the Wei family. Only then did he manage to leave Wei Village under the cover of night."
"Perhaps fearing being caught by the villagers, you didn't run directly to Yiling Town, but instead ran in another direction, eventually arriving at another small, unknown remote town after being extremely careful."
"At this moment, you, the host, do not know the whereabouts of Qingyan. You only deceive yourself in your heart and believe that he has fallen into the hands of human traffickers, because you dare not think about other possibilities."
"The host knew that he was currently outnumbered and powerless, and that he could not achieve his goal of finding his younger brother who had been kidnapped by human traffickers in the vast sea of people, even if he tried his best in his life. Therefore, he had a crooked idea and decided to take a shortcut."
Those present immediately felt a sense of foreboding. What shortcuts could an ordinary peasant girl possibly take? She could only rely on her beauty to curry favor with powerful figures or find a powerful organization to sell herself for their help!
As expected, 001's next words confirmed their ominous suspicions.
"The host is quite lucky. He had just made up his mind to use his not-so-bad looks to find a powerful patron, and then he encountered such a good opportunity."
"In order to establish a relationship with a group of Wen clan cultivators who happened to be passing through the town on business, the head of a wealthy family surnamed Chen in the town decided to offer his beautiful young daughter, who had just come of age, to the leader of the group as a concubine."
"The leading cultivator naturally wouldn't refuse this kind offer, but because he had important matters to attend to, he dared not take the young girl of the Chen family away immediately. Therefore, he made an agreement with Chen Fushen that he would pick her up on his way back after finishing his business in half a month!"
"Unfortunately, the youngest daughter of the Chen family was a woman of strong will and had someone she loved. She was unwilling to let her lifelong happiness be buried like this. Therefore, after much planning, she successfully eloped with her lover three days before the agreed time."
"Chen Fushen was afraid that when the Wen clan cultivators arrived, he would not be able to hand over the child, which would bring disaster to his family. He could not find his rebellious daughter anywhere. In order to survive, he thought of substituting a beautiful woman for his young daughter and offering her up. Unfortunately, time was too tight, and there were no outstandingly beautiful unmarried women of marriageable age within a hundred miles around."
"Just when he was extremely anxious, the host who had unintentionally escaped to this remote town caught the eye of the frantic Chen Fushen, who happened to have the same idea himself at the time."
"So when Chen Fushen came to him, the host immediately agreed, only asking him to do one thing—that is, to have Chen Fushen send people to find Qingyan who had been abducted, or at least to find out the whereabouts of the human traffickers who abducted Qingyan!"
"After weighing the two options, Chen Fushen also made a solemn promise. What followed was the host's struggle in the backyard of the Wen family, bearing the name of the youngest daughter of the Chen family!"
"Anyway, Chen Fushen kept his promise. Although he failed to find the missing Qingyan, he did manage to find the trail of the human traffickers."
"After more than two years of hard work, you, host, have successfully established yourself by that person's side and are quite favored. Coincidentally, that person has some influence within the Wen family, so you take advantage of his power to find the human traffickers' headquarters. After some searching, you finally find the person who abducted Qingyan, only to learn from him that your younger brother, whom you have been searching for for many years, had died at the age of five in the winter, and even his body had been thrown into the Yiling Mass Burial Mound, a place where even gods and ghosts cannot enter!"
"How desperate I must have been back then!" Just thinking about it makes Wei Chaoyan feel the same despair and heart-wrenching pain she felt!
"Yes, after the hope was shattered, the host killed those human traffickers. Then, in a fit of despair, you felt that if it weren't for the powerful figures behind the human traffickers being so inhuman, Qingyan and the other children wouldn't have suffered this calamity. So, you turned your hatred towards the powerful figures behind the human traffickers and other scoundrels."
"Perhaps extreme hatred can really transform a person. The host, who was originally an ordinary, naive person, actually managed to stir up a bloody storm in the human trafficking industry for three years on his own. He directly or indirectly destroyed as many as eighteen human trafficking groups, and the forces behind them also suffered heavy losses."
"Hiss... Did I really go that far?" Wei Chaoyan stared in disbelief, as if she were listening to some unbelievable story. Could she really be this brave?!
Qi Ye, Lan Zhan, and Qing Yan were deeply worried: "Sister's actions are so radical, and the commotion she's caused is so great, I'm afraid it won't last long!"
Knowing firsthand the ruthlessness of those in power, Lan Wenjing knew that Wei Chaoyan's death was imminent. But considering her fate, he could only sigh with heartache, "Poor Chaoyan, such a good girl!"
"Then, well, the host was naturally besieged and killed by those who suffered losses. Even more unfortunately, the powerful figure you relied on got tired of you and was no longer willing to help you. So, host, your past life ends here!" 001 shrugged and casually stated the final outcome of Wei Chaoyan's past life.
The people present had expected this result, but hearing it from 001 still made their eyes red.
"Senior," Qi Ye struggled to suppress the intense grief and killing intent in his heart, barely managing to remain calm, and spat out the harsh, icy words through his teeth, "Where was I in my past life? If I were here, my elder sister and younger brother would never have done this!"
001 clicked her tongue: "Hey, you didn't even appear in the world of Demonic Cultivation in your previous life. Back then, you should have been diligently following the plot in your original world!"
"Then what about my sister and Qingyan," Wei Ying paused, his voice choked with emotion as he continued to press for details, "and what about their relationship with the Yiling Patriarch?"
"Qingyan, who turned into a ghost child, was naturally subdued by Wei Wuxian when he opened up the ghost path in the Burial Mound! As for the host who died tragically and turned into a bound spirit, well, the Yiling Patriarch also needed money to make a living, so he naturally encountered him when he took Wen Ning down to the Burial Mound to exorcise the evil spirits!"
"So, I became Aying's prey for exorcising evil spirits?" Wei Chaoyan asked with a deep look in her eyes. "Then how did I survive under the Ancestor in my previous life?"
