Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

That's not the case when facing her adoptive mother, especially one who might be harmed. Logically speaking, with Qin Zhen's personality, she shouldn't be so calm and collected.

She is a person who can risk her life for the people she cares about.

Qin Zhen stood in front of the door for a few seconds before she chopped the attic door open with a sword.

"boom--"

The door collapsed, but there was no trace of Qin Erniang in the attic. Instead, there was a little red fox scratching the window.

The little fox's left paw was injured, so he could only scratch the window with his right paw.

The window creaked as she scratched it, but even so, she wasn't able to make a crack.

"Stop scratching."

Qin Zhen spoke lightly.

The little fox turned its head and looked at Qin Zhen, and all the fur on its body stood up instantly.

Qin Zhen just stood in front of the door and said in a cold tone: "After I jumped out of the window, they hired someone to reinforce it and even painted the best imprisonment formation on it."

The little fox's fur stood up even more.

Qin Zhen stepped on the broken door, her expression still unchanged: "Oh, this door, or the whole attic is the same."

The little fox stopped scratching the window and curled up into a ball.

"Someone chopped off your fingers?" Qin Zhen asked.

The little fox didn't speak.

"You deserve it." Qin Zhen's expression suddenly turned cold.

Almost as soon as Qin Zhen finished speaking, the little fox curled up into a ball and cursed anxiously:

"I deserve it? It was because of you that I was caught and had a finger chopped off!"

"If you hadn't taken her form, would you have been caught?"

The little fox was silent after hearing this. After a long while, she said sullenly, "So you came back to save me?"

"Are you worthy?"

The little fox's fur instantly exploded: "Qin Zhen, how dare you say that to me? Yes, I lied to her because I wanted to practice with a sincere heart, but you are not a good person either. She suffered so much for you, don't tell me you have forgotten it!"

"You should be thankful that I promised her that I would not kill you."

Qin Zhen seemed to have heard such words countless times, so she still had no special reaction.

But the little fox shuddered.

It could sense Qin Zhen's undisguised murderous intent.

"roll."

After Qin Zhen finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the attic without even looking at the little fox.

Yes, the person who was captured and imprisoned here was not Qin Erniang at all, but a half-demon.

This was also the child that Qin Zhen had seen in the past, held in Qin Erniang's arms.

She is actually not Qin Erniang's biological child.

That child was stillborn when he was born.

So, this weak half-demon found a way to take her place and became Er Niang's child.

To grow up, a half-demon needs to survive a calamity that is destined to happen.

That disaster requires a true heart.

A sincere heart that is devoted to her without regrets or reservation.

The fox originally just wanted to temporarily borrow the identity of Qin Erniang's child to recuperate for a while.

But that day.

She saw five-year-old Qin Zhen and Qin Erniang who had taken the truth pill.

Qin Erniang's thriving love as a mother, even if mixed with other things, is genuine and without any falsehood.

She wanted that true heart.

But Qin Erniang had been driven crazy by the Ye family. For the sake of that true love, she gambled all her skills and weaved a dream for the crazy Qin Erniang.

It has always known that sincerity is born from suffering and despair.

So, in that dream, it put Qin Erniang in danger again and again, and again and again it was like a god descending from the sky to save her from suffering.

Even those sufferings were all brought by it.

It played with people's hearts, thinking that in this way it could gain Qin Erniang's complete sincerity and survive the inevitable calamity in its fate.

However, Qin Erniang in the dream did not give her true heart to him.

She went crazy because of the hurt and instinctively protected herself.

This disappointed the fox.

But it had already used up all its magic power and could no longer use any other tricks. It could only sleep soundly every day.

It thought that it would have to live in the form of a baby for a long time before it could recover some of its magical powers.

However, no one expected that in the second year, a major event would happen in the entire Yaskawa.

There was an earthquake in Yasukawa.

It was at three o'clock in the morning, when everyone was sleeping most soundly.

The fox only heard a roar on the ground, and the next second, the house began to shake violently.

Its eyes, which could see in the dark, saw it with their own eyes. Qin Erniang, who should have gone crazy, almost instinctively pounced on it on the crib and held it tightly in her arms.

The beam collapsed and fell heavily on the woman's thin back.

And that was just the beginning. As the earthquake continued, walls collapsed and bricks fell.

All it could hear was the horrible noises going on around it, because the woman was holding it too tightly.

It could clearly feel Qin Erniang's soft and warm body, which also had a pleasant and clean soapberry scent.

It could even hear her heartbeat clearly.

But her heartbeat became slower and slower, and her body became warmer and warmer, while her body became colder and colder.

It knows what this means.

There are many such beggars in the land temple on the outskirts of the city. They grow colder and colder and then die.

Qin Erniang...is she going to die too?

It was the first time that it didn't feel that real.

It was as if it had fallen into some illusion and it didn't even know how to react.

It didn't know how much time had passed before it finally heard other sounds.

Many people came here and dug the ruins of the collapsed houses.

"Here, here, this is the family!"

"Master, he's already... frozen."

"Mrs. Qin, where is the child?"

"Not found yet."

"Find! Find and save him quickly!"

Finally, it reacted and let out a cry.

"Here, here, I hear a child's voice!"

"Quick, someone is coming!"

"Zhu Zi, go and invite the young nobleman over!"

The walls and beams were removed, and the little fox finally saw the sunlight again.

Also because of the sunlight, it could see clearly what Qin Erniang looked like at that moment.

Her lumbar vertebrae were completely broken and deformed, and even a large piece of her scalp was shaved off.

The half face that was already scarred by the fire now had a big hole, and one could even see her teeth.

It's ugly and scary.

The little fox was shocked.

But it couldn't explain why it was shocked. Was it because it was afraid of Qin Erniang's terrifying appearance?

No.

That's not what it's afraid of.

It couldn't tell what it was afraid of.

Just at this moment, Qin Zhen was led in.

She looked very miserable, with a bloody head, and she ran to Qin Erniang almost crying.
