Harem Daily Life

Chapter 298: Revenge for Me

Tao Yanyan was most afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants. When she thought of there being rats here, she broke out in a cold sweat.

The woman saw that the girl was very delicate and didn't know what her relationship with her son was, so she said: "Fortunately, there are mice, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to see my son again."

Tao Yanyan took a deep breath and landed on the ground, saying with some fear: "But you ate raw rat meat, rats are full of germs, your body might...probably has already failed."

The Demon Lord standing beside him also shuddered and looked at the lying woman with complicated eyes.

The woman chuckled: "I've been unable to do it for a long time."

After saying that, he looked at the Demon Lord steadily: "Son, you must remember that it was that vicious woman Yin Qiaoying who harmed our family like this! I disappeared inexplicably, and your father's whereabouts are unknown. His name is Wang Zhong. When you get out, investigate what happened back then and you must help us get revenge! She is so vicious, I hate her, hate her so much!"

The Demon Lord did not express his opinion, but Tao Yanyan knew that he had to get to the bottom of this matter. Moreover, once the truth was found out, it would be clear that he and the Demon Lord had no blood relationship at all, and the Taoist's lies would be self-defeating, which would be beneficial to Tao Yanyan.

She stepped forward, holding back her fear, and gently stroked the woman: "Don't get excited. As long as we can get out, we will definitely find out the truth and give you justice. But..." She looked around: "You have been here for more than 20 years. Have you found a way out?"

If she hasn't been out for more than 20 years, it is very likely that she has no way out at all. Tao Yanyan couldn't help but worry.

The woman said, "My legs have been inactive for a long time and I can no longer stand. I once returned to the fork in the road and walked to the right, but I had run out of tinder and it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Later, I became too weak to move and had to stay in this little cave. Year after year, at least there is water here, all year round, and it keeps me alive."

After saying this, she sighed: "In fact, I live like this, neither human nor ghost, just hoping to see my husband and my son again one day. Today, I saw my son, and it was obvious from his appearance that he had never suffered any hardship. That would be enough for me!"

The woman didn't know that what she saw was just the surface. The Demon Lord was suffering physically, and he was in great pain from the torment of his heart disease.

The woman became weaker as she finished speaking: "You...you go to the fork in the road and try to take the right path. If you can get out, you should get out quickly. Remember, avenge me, revenge!"

After the woman finished speaking, she became exhausted and fainted again.

"What should I do? Today is probably the most she has spoken in the past twenty years. Her physical strength is also exhausted. If she doesn't eat something to replenish her nutrition, she will often faint. Oh, it's really pitiful that she has been locked up in this dark place for twenty-three years."

Tao Yanyan was actually a little hungry. She missed the delicious food outside and needed to eat urgently.

The demon thought for a moment and said, "I'll carry her on my back, and you follow me. We'll go to the right immediately."

After saying that, he took off another piece of clothing, tied the woman up and carried her on his back, then walked in front holding a tinder to lead the way.

Tao Yanyan followed him closely, her nerves tense because she was too scared.

I took the right road from the fork in the road and walked for more than an hour before I saw a little light.

Tao Yanyan wiped his sweat and said, "She was probably too weak back then, so she didn't make it to the end. In fact, if she had persisted for more than an hour, she would have found a way out."

Sometimes life is just like this. Because we don’t persist, we miss the light.

But sometimes people’s cognition is limited, and when the road ahead is unclear, they don’t know whether they should persist.

All the choices make up a life.

Time cannot be reversed. For this woman, her life was ruined twenty-three years ago. The man who ruined her life was calling the shots outside and harmed other people.

The Demon Lord and Tao Yanyan continued to move forward towards the light and finally came out from a remote back mountain.

The woman had regained her sight after more than 20 years, but her eyes were extremely uncomfortable, so Tao Yanyan quickly tied her eyes with a cloth.

"Do you know the way?" Tao Yanyan sat down on the ground, waiting for the Demon Lord to find the direction.

The Demon Lord looked around and said, "If we go south through this forest, we will be able to return to Penglai Palace. However, I don't want to go back for the time being. I need to settle her down first and find a doctor to see her."

Tao Yanyan thought what he said made sense, so they followed his advice and went to find a clinic first.

Two ragged young men were walking down the street carrying a thin, slovenly woman on their backs. Everyone who saw them looked at them strangely.

Tao Yanyan didn't think it was a big deal. People in ancient times wore several pieces of clothes. In fact, she didn't show any underwear even after taking off her outer shirt.

The Demon Lord felt ashamed, looked at Tao Yanyan beside him, and took out a silver ingot: "Go to that clothing store and buy two sets of clothes to change into."

The Demon Lord did not enter the store, but waited at the door. Tao Yanyan was very quick, choosing a man's coat, picking one for herself, and buying a full set for the woman before leaving the store.

The two of them ran straight to the clinic holding the clothes. The Demon Lord felt that the person on his back was breathing weakly and his life was quickly slipping away.

The doctor in the clinic was shocked when he saw a patient so thin for the first time.

After examining her, he could only shake his head and say, "She doesn't have much time left. Her limbs are just skin and bones. Her blood and energy are all gone. Her internal organs are all damaged. Her bones are loose. To put it bluntly, there is no cure."

After saying this, he sighed: "I have been practicing medicine for 30 years, and this is the first time I have seen someone so hungry. How pitiful! How pitiful!"

The demon king felt very uncomfortable, so he paid the consultation fee, sent a medicine boy to help him call for help, and went to buy a bowl of rice porridge to feed the woman.

Tao Yanyan did not leave the whole time, but sat in the corridor of the pharmacy waiting for the Demon Lord.

She wondered if she should find a way to contact He Linzhang. Since she had already been released, she shouldn't go back to Penglai Palace. After all, the Demon Lord looked like he would punish her when he returned.

He was competing with the eldest lady's forces, so he had better stand far away to avoid being hurt accidentally.

As he was hesitating, a noisy noise was heard, and a group of people surrounded the clinic.

Tao Yanyan knew the leader. He was the chief elder who had followed the old lady to find her and question her that day.

The Great Elder glanced at Tao Yanyan, but didn't take it seriously. He went straight to the ward where the Demon Lord was and said loudly: "I am late to welcome the Demon Lord back to the palace!"

The doctors and patients in the clinic were all shocked. Could the dishevelled man who came with a thin woman to see a doctor be the almighty Demon Lord?

The demon king who kills without blinking an eye?

Everyone immediately moved away, not daring to look directly at him.

The Demon Lord walked out of the ward and said, "The Great Elder is very attentive to my movements. Why, is the Great Elder always monitoring me?"
