She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

1574 Unwilling to Shed Tears Until You See the Coffin

Just as Madam Jing’s hand was about to touch the giant’s cheek, the giant suddenly opened its huge mouth and bit Madam Jing’s right hand.

“Ah!” Old Madam Jing’s right hand was bitten off by the giant on the spot.

“Mother!” When Jing Ruge heard Old Madam Jing’s scream, he hurriedly ran to her and held her hand while sizing her up.

The giant liked to eat raw meat, especially human meat. Its teeth were very sharp, like the teeth of a dragon, so Old Madam Jing’s right hand was easily bitten off. At this moment, Old Madam Jing’s wrist was spurting out blood, and the blood dyed the gorgeous gown on her body red.

After Old Madam Jing stared at her bleeding wrist, she endured the pain and looked up at the familiar face on the giant’s head in shock as she asked bitterly, “Jiu’er, don’t you recognize me?”

The giant opened its beast eyes and stared at Old Madam Jing greedily. There was no sadness or nostalgia in its eyes, only the desire for food.

Old Madam Jing’s heart turned cold from that gaze.

This wasn’t her daughter!

“Mother, this is a monster, not Jiujiu. Our Jiujiu might have been…”

Eaten by it.

Or refined.

Either way, it was a sorrowful outcome that Jing Ruge didn’t dare to admit.

Old Madam Jing understood Jing Ruge’s hint, so she shook her head and muttered sadly, “No wonder I couldn’t find her no matter how hard I touched the soul lamp. It turns out that she’s no longer herself! How did she become like this?”

Old Madam Jing thought of something and suddenly turned to look at the low col below.

Jing Jiaren was lying there. The person kneeling beside Jing Jiaren and sobbing was Zhang Zhanyi.

Old Madam Jing suddenly teleported to Zhang Zhanyi’s side. With her intact left hand, she grabbed Zhang Zhanyi’s throat and scolded angrily, “Madam Zhang! Tell me! Did you do it?!”

With her throat strangled, Zhang Zhanyi couldn’t speak. Seeing that her beautiful face had instantly lost its color and had turned purple, Jing Ruge was about to persuade his mother to calm down when the Zhang family, who had specifically rushed over from the Cang Lang Continent to celebrate Old Madam Jing’s birthday, stood up.

“Madam, the truth of this matter has yet to be revealed. If anything happens to my sister, the Zhang family will definitely demand an explanation!” The person who spoke was Zhang Zhanyi’s eldest uncle, Zhang Xianli, the current head of the Zhang family. He was an intermediate-stage Prime Master Beast Tamer with a high cultivation level.

Zhang Xianli represented the Zhang family. The Zhang family was also a super family on the Cang Lang Continent and was the most powerful faction in the Northern Yan Cang Realm.

Old Madam Jing could look down on Zhang Zhanyi, but she couldn’t look down on the Zhang family.

“In-law.” Old Madam Jing emphasized the word in-law, as if she was addressing an enemy, as she said, “I was indeed rash just now. However, Madam Zhang’s reaction earlier was really strange. Why don’t you help me ask your niece why she tried her best to stop us from going to the Divine Worship Cave?”

Zhang Xianli frowned at his niece.

He actually understood that if this matter was related to Zhang Zhanyi, even the Zhang family would find it difficult to save her.

The Zhang family had always been disciplined and no disciple had ever done such a cruel thing. To be honest, Zhang Xianli didn’t want to protect Zhang Zhanyi at all. He even despised Zhang Zhanyi’s vicious actions.

However, Zhang Zhanyi was the daughter of the Zhang family after all. If Zhang Zhanyi really did it to Jing Rujiu and if word got out, the Zhang family’s reputation would be ruined.

Sigh.

Sighing, Zhang Xianli placed his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Zhanyi, “Zhanyi, when you were 11 years old, your parents died at the mouth of a demon beast in order to protect the Zhang family’s disciples. Your parents are the heroes of the Zhang family. The brave and righteous blood of your parents flows in your body. I believe you wouldn’t do such a despicable thing.”

“But your reaction tonight was indeed too abnormal. It’s no wonder that the old lady was suspicious. Let me ask you, is Miss Rujiu’s incident related to you?” After saying that, before Zhang Zhanyi could answer, Zhang Xianli glanced at Zhang Zhanyi threateningly and said, “If you really did this, the Zhang family will punish our own before the Jing family makes things difficult for you! If you didn’t do this, the Zhang family will definitely help you prove your innocence and protect your reputation!”

“You have to think carefully before answering.”

Everyone understood this obvious threat.

Zhang Xianli was telling Zhang Zhanyi that if she really did this, the Zhang family would kill her immediately. Only then could the Zhang family maintain their reputation.

Zhang Zhanyi understood Zhang Zhanyi’s hint, so she felt apprehensive.

She looked at Old Madam Jing, who was staring at her intently, then at her smiling uncle. When she looked up again, she realized that her husband, who usually doted on her, was also staring at her with despair and coldness in his eyes. Zhang Zhanyi immediately felt despair.

At this moment, almost all the respected and powerful experts on the Divination Continent were watching.

How could she admit that she had done all of this?

She couldn’t!

Only she and Jing Rujiu knew the truth. Jing Rujiu had already become one with the giant, so even if she lied, who could expose her?

Besides, super demon beasts had abilities equivalent to that of Prime Emperor big shots. Even a powerful prophet like Old Madam Jing was temporarily unable to pry into the past of super demon beasts just by interacting with them.

Prime Emperor Divine Miracle might have the ability to pry into the past of super demon beasts, but Zhang Zhanyi had heard that after Prime Emperor Divine Miracle took away an eye, the power of divination in his body had decreased greatly. Now, his divination cultivation was probably about the same level as the old lady’s.

Therefore, even Prime Emperor Divine Miracle found it difficult to pry into the past of a super demon beast.

In that case, no one could discover the truth behind what happened back then.

At the thought of this, Zhang Zhanyi suddenly calmed down.

Zhang Zhanyi shook her head firmly and cried as she said to Zhang Xianli, “Uncle, I was wronged. Believe me. Jiu’er and I were the closest friends. When we were young, we went through many difficulties together. She saved me from danger and I saved her too. Not only is she my best friend, but she’s also my husband’s biological sister. Logically speaking, there’s no way I’d hurt her like this.”

“I admit that when I was young, I had a grudge against her because of some personal matters. However, after I married Ruge, our relationship as husband and wife had always been very harmonious, not to mention that we even gave birth to a daughter. We’ve long let go of the grudges we had when we were young. Why would I hurt her like this?”

“If you guys don’t believe me, you can ask Mother and Prime Emperor Divine Miracle to pry into the past of that super demon beast and see if I’m the culprit who harmed Rujiu!”
