It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

"Ah Li, do you still have many enemies?" Liu'er looked at her, feeling guilty. She really wanted to go with her and help kill them.

"Yes, there are many more. In Jiazigou, young people, regardless of gender, are taken away by others after they grow up, and some even go abroad. Those who remain in the village are mostly elderly people over fifty and those under eighteen."

When Liu'er heard that some of them were abroad, she couldn't help but worry, "Ali, foreign countries are too far away, and there's no legitimate way to go abroad now, plus you're so young..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things in China first. By the time I'm all done, I'll be old enough to go abroad."

Liu'er pondered for a moment, then said, "Ali, my younger brother and sister will be able to be independent in a few years. When that time comes, will you come and take me with you?"

Yun Li turned her head in surprise; the seriousness in her eyes was immediately apparent, but she still shook her head.

"No, this is my own hatred, and I will avenge it myself."

"Ah Li, if you want to take revenge yourself, I won't do anything. Just let me follow you and take care of your daily life, okay?"

"Still no!" Yun Li refused. "Liu'er, you've been reborn, you should have your own glorious life, otherwise you'll be letting down Yun Jiaoyue's good deeds."

Upon hearing this, Liu'er felt lost and guilty. In fact, she had already achieved her goal of being reborn, and had no direction for her future life.

A life without direction can never be glorious; she truly let Yun Jiaoyue down.

Having lived through ninety-nine lifetimes and possessing spiritual power, Yun Li can easily see through people's emotions.

"Liu'er, what are you good at? For example, in terms of reading, do you prefer math, history, or something else?"

After thinking about it carefully, Liu'er replied, "I like airplanes and cannons."

Yun Li's lips twitched, then he laughed, and his consciousness entered the space to search for books about airplanes and cannons.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Liu'er, do you want to fly airplanes and cannons or build airplanes and cannons?"

"Make it!" Without hesitation, she blurted out as soon as Yun Li finished speaking.

Yunli nodded inwardly. Since he liked manufacturing, he should find books on manufacturing.

She focused on her search and stopped talking. Liu'er was familiar with her situation and knew that she was immersed in the space, so she didn't disturb her.

About ten minutes later, Yunli's consciousness left her body. She then sat up, waved her small hand, and a large pile of books appeared on the kang (a heated brick bed).

When Yun Li sat up, Liu'er also sat up, and then felt her legs sink under the covers.

Upon seeing the kang (heated brick bed) full of books, she picked one up and started reading. When she read the contents, she felt her mind suddenly clear.

She found her direction in life.

He pressed the book to his chest, his eyes red and moist, "Ah Li, thank you!"

If Yun Jiaoyue is her second parent, then Ali is her guide in life.

She owes them, mother and daughter, far too much; she can never repay it all.

However, even if she can't repay the debt, she will try her best to do so. If one lifetime isn't enough, then two, three, countless lifetimes...

Having found her direction in life, she now thought about how to repay Yun Li.

That means striving to reach a higher position so that I can become a support for Ali in the future.

……

After daybreak, Liu'er escorted Yunli to the door and gave him the three generals, along with a sled.

Yunli did not refuse. In this snow-covered land, sleds and dogs were indeed the best companions for traveling.

The first, second, and third generals knew they were about to be separated from their master, and they all sang sadly beside Liu'er.

Yun Li guessed that she was probably begging Liu'er not to give them away.

Liu'er squatted down and gently stroked the three dogs' heads first, then sternly scolded them:

"Don't be so ungrateful. I'm giving you to Ali for your own good. You should know that following Ali means you'll live a life of luxury."

I was even thinking of offering myself up, but Ah Li didn't want to. You guys are really getting off easy.

That sounded so sour, Yun Li chuckled.

The three generals were also confused. Could it really be a good thing?

In the end, whether they were reluctant or not, the three obediently pulled Yunli away.

Watching the figure gradually disappear, Liu'er suddenly shouted, "A-Li!"

Then she ran towards her, sinking into the knee-deep snow with each step.

Yun Li stopped, looking at Liu'er who was running over breathlessly with some confusion. Did she still have something to say?

"Ah Li, do you blame me? Blame me for not saving Yun Jiaoyue when I was reborn ten years ago."

Liu'er's face was flushed, whether from running or from the cold, she didn't know. She looked at Yun Li with trepidation, panting heavily.

Yun Li had wanted to ask for a long time, but seeing how sincere Liu'er was to her and Yun Jiaoyue, she guessed that Liu'er must have had other difficulties or reasons for not saving Yun Jiaoyue.

So I didn't ask, afraid of putting her in a difficult position, but I didn't expect her to bring it up herself.

"Liu'er, may I ask why you didn't go to save Yun Jiaoyue?"

Liu'er sniffed, wiped away the tears that hadn't yet fallen, and nodded emphatically, "Ali, all of this was Yun Jiaoyue's request. She didn't want me to save her."

"She was afraid that if I saved her, you would disappear, and that if you reversed time and came back, you would have no body to cling to."

"She was also afraid that those people in Jiazigou would be arrested prematurely, leaving you without a target for revenge, which would leave you with a permanent regret."

Yun Li considered many reasons, such as Liu'er being too young at the time to save Yun Jiaoyue.

For example, time reversal follows certain rules, and Liu'er must not interfere with the fate of the reborn.

There are many other examples, but she never expected it to be for this reason.

My heart aches so much, yet feels so warm; it's just that Yun Jiaoyue is so foolish.

Yun Li lowered her head, tears dripping onto the snow, creating two small holes.

Liu'er quickly took out a handkerchief from her spatial storage and wiped her eyes. "Ali, don't cry. Jiaoyue will be sad if she knows."

Yun Li thought of the words on the lantern: "Ah Li smiles with joy, the bright moon will always be with her."

Yes, she shouldn't cry; she should smile.

She forced back her tears and managed an ugly, heartbreaking smile.

After some time, Yun Li calmed down and said goodbye to Liu'er again before leaving.

They hadn't gone far when they heard Liu'er's voice behind them.

"Ah Li, if you ever get tired, I hope you can come back and rest."

"There will always be a room for you here."

Upon hearing the voice, Yun Li waved without turning around, sniffed, smiled, and softly promised, "Yes, I'll definitely come back!"

Once she could no longer see anyone, the first thing Liu'er did upon returning home was to take down the lantern under the eaves and light a red candle inside.

The younger siblings found it strange and asked, "Sister, why are we lighting lanterns when it's not a festival?"

Liu'er looked up at the lantern, her eyes glistening with tears and a smile. "It feels warmer when it's lit."

The younger siblings looked at each other, confused. "Really? I don't feel anything!"

Never mind, this family's wealth was all earned by my older sister, so she can do whatever she wants.

……

g Province x City

"Have you heard? The governor's secretary was murdered. That's terrible."

"Yes, I've not only heard about it, but a relative of mine saw it too. It was so tragic."

"Tragic? How tragic? Worse than having your limbs shattered?"

"I'd like to know too. Come on, have a smoke, and tell us all exactly how terrible it is."

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette. He took it, held it to his nose, and smelled it, then squinted his eyes in ecstasy.

"Alright, since you're all so curious, I'll satisfy your curiosity."

Everyone instinctively moved closer.

"Be prepared, I was almost scared to death when I first heard my relative say it."

He had already urinated.

"Stop rambling and just tell me!"

"Listen carefully..."

Several ears stood up.

"Eyes..." the man pointed to his eyes, "gone, gouged out."

Everyone gasped, feeling a slight discomfort in their eyes.

The man pointed to his nose again, "It was cut off too."

Then he pointed to his tongue, ears, and penis, "They were all cut off."

The onlookers covered their mouths and even their genitals, their faces turning pale. How could someone be so ruthless?

An elderly woman passing by saw a group of men acting like that and, thinking they were doing something indecent, immediately called the police.

Before the police arrived, the man continued, "You're scared already? That's not all."

He patted his arms and legs. "Gone, all gone. The arms are gone from the shoulders, and the legs are gone from the thighs."

"All that was left was the upper body."

Everyone was already pale with fright and dizzy.

However, the man hadn't finished speaking.

"You think that's all? No, no, there's more..."

"When the body was discovered, the secretary's upper body was found inside a large jar."

"There were also many ants, centipedes, and other insects in that jar."

At this point, the man leaned forward and said in an extremely low voice, "When the body was carried out along with the jar, everyone saw many insects crawling out of its eyes, nostrils, and mouth."

"Wow……"

"vomit……"

Everyone vomited at the same time, and some even urinated.

Upon seeing this, the man who had spoken smiled. He had only urinated, not vomited, and compared to them, he was still much stronger.

My confidence has returned.
