Chapter 207 – We Beg To Forgive Us
The vines continued to drag and drop them like a child playing ball, the only difference was that the child was a monster vine and the one in place of the ball was them. Both Qiu Bai and old man Yu wanted to return this ghostly vine to Yu Dong's house, they have once heard a rumour that the passers-by would often hear the sound of someone crying and muttering angrily near that house but they took it for granted, they thought that if Yu Dong could live there then they can also just go in there and grab these plants but now it looks like that they were simply too naive, most probably Yu Dong was the one who was casting black magic in these things so that no one would be able to steal them!
No wonder she didn't come here to find trouble with them or went to complain to the village head, she knew that these plants with black magic will make them suffer!
Just wait once they get out of this, they will let others know what kind of dangerous woman that little wretch Yu Dong was! The father and son in law's thoughts were exactly similar to each other's!
Even now the two were blaming Yu Dong doe their atrocious crimes instead of reflecting on themselves they were still blaming Yu Dong for what was happening to them. If they hadn't stolen these vines then they wouldn't have to go through anything.. not only did Yu Dong have to suffer their offending behaviour silently, she also have to let them take her source of earning but she also had to let them take it with all bells and ribbons attached? Who asked them not to sit still and cause trouble? Even if Yu Dong cast a magic spell on the plants it was they were the ones at fault who asked them to steal?
Yu Dong watched their faces turn white and blue and then turn a vivid shade of red. She sneered completely understanding what her dear grandfather and uncle in law were thinking, the two of them were in such a bad condition yet they were still thinking of somehow finding trouble with her huh? Good, it was good they had so many guts.
She flexed her fingers before snapping them, a click resonated in the clearing as the vine that was binding Qiu Bai and Old man Yu tightened its grip, hung them a foot away on the ground and –
SMACK!
Two loud smacks were heard just as they two mers cried and howled in pain, so making them play ball wasn't all? Now it was even making them play this rough game? The vine kept smacking their backs like a whip that got faster and faster with each hit, soon they didn't even have the time to howl as they were whipped, and hit after hit landed on their backs.
Old man Yu has never suffered such humiliation, he wanted to run off to Yu Dong and find trouble with her for doing black magic in the village. Anything that was linked with superstition was condemned if they blame Yu Dong for dabbling in dark magic her entire family could be killed! This was something that old man Yu would have loved to do but he was also scared, his favourite grandson was going to give exams this year if Yu Dong did something to him then?
No, no he couldn't harm his grandson but he didn't want to suffer in silence either!
Qiu Bai was troubled too, just like his father in law, he also wanted to report Yu Dong for using black magic on them but he was afraid that his son would be implicated!
Just as he was wondering how he should do it when his father in law nudged him. Qiu Bai ignored him not wanting to break his chain of thoughts but then his father in law nudged him again " what ?" He asked snappily looking at his father in law with a frown really this old man was really good for nothing!
Old man Yu tipped his head in the sky, his eyes popping and a look of sheer terror on his face. Qiu Bai followed his gaze and what he saw pulled the ground under his feet, he lost all his senses as a tall, bulky figure with a third truth seeing eye in the middle of his forehead descended from the dark sky .. f*ck wasn't this the God who foresees the truth?
His heart started beating so loudly that Qiu Bai could hear it, when the vine let go of his hands he immediately knelt on the ground " Please let me off, I won't do it again. I will never steal, I promise"
The lord shook his head " You are a thief, committing robbery is a sin! I can not let you, I have seen the atrocities that you have committed, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. No, this offence that you two committed will not be ignored, with your hands you should have made an honest living, but instead, you did such a sin – let me take those hands as a penalty for your sins, stop your nonsense and hold them out"
Qiu Bai was so scared he immediately hid his hands behind his back when he saw the long blade that the Lord of truth was waving around " we promise we won't steal again, we won't!"
" yes, yes, yes we won't" chimed old man Yu from behind as he continued to kowtow on the ground.
When Yu Dong saw that the two were taught a good lesson, with their backs swollen and bleeding she pulled her last trick. The Lord of truth that Qiu Bai and Old man Yu were seeing feigned a merciful expression and said " alright since this was the first robbery that you committed, this lord will let you off but you have to be punished – go around the village screaming that you have committed a sin, and you beg for forgiveness"
Qiu Bai and Old man Yu paused and exchanged a look with each other if they scream something like this, wouldn't their reputation be ruined? They weren't worried about themselves but Yu Cheng what will happen to his reputation if his daddy and granddaddy did something like this?
Seeing them hesitate, the Lord of truth waved his weapon " You don't dare?"
" We will do it, we will do it" shouted Qiu Bai and Old man Yu repeatedly as they got up from their kneeling position and ran out screaming' we sinned please forgive us'.
Yu Dong watched them go silently and if she wasn't from the post-apocalypse world she would have killed them but she was a firm believer of ' every life is important and didn't take away their breath but the punishment was always proportional to the crime, she couldn't go too far or else it will weigh on her heart like an honest officer.. She flicked her hand and the bloody wounds on Qiu Bai and Old man Yu disappeared, she understood this too well, if even a single piece of evidence was left behind they will try to take advantage of that, thus she removed every bit of the evidence but of course, she didn't take away their pain.
