Because even if she were told, the old woman would simply smile calmly and say she knew it all, that it was all her voluntary choice.
Her life had always been lived under the sway of this obsession, and before her death, she would not change, only to feel her sacrifice and devotion were even more sacred.
White Crane Child continued to strike, the one under his hand no longer able to resist, merely having tougher bones, as he was merely grinding away her last breath.
Thus, the child lifted his head and looked towards Li Zhiyuan.
In his gaze, a faint mockery emerged.
Ultimately, you still let that thing escape.
Li Zhiyuan’s lips revealed a faint smile.
This smile made both the dying old woman and White Crane Child feel puzzled.
Li Zhiyuan walked over to the edge of the reservoir and crouched sideways.
His left hand reached into the water, scooping up a handful.
His right hand’s index finger slowly moved towards his forehead.
Wei Zhengdao was quite interesting as a writer; he would gloss over some things he felt were unimportant, but those marked as "harming heaven and harmony," he would truly elaborate in detail.
Therefore, this magic skill, Li Zhiyuan had read about it, and he could recall any book he read, although, he indeed had never learned it.
But earlier, when retrieving Granny Yu’s memories, there was a scene of the old woman performing the Despondent Mud Embryo ritual.
Understanding the principle, with a "teacher" demonstrating it live, the most important thing was... this skill was very simple, as crudely rudimentary and low-level as the Array Diagram Granny Yu taught to the circus.
"Come, Li Lan, the moment you’ve been yearning for has arrived."
The index finger pressed against the forehead moved away, touching the water scooped in his left hand.
The water in his palm turned half black.
Li Zhiyuan knew this was his poor father.
The water in his palm instantly turned pitch-black, and what’s more, it even began to boil, becoming extremely violent!
The dying old woman’s eyes widened; she had abducted no telling how many children over the decades, seen profound parental yearning, but none could compare to the scene before her eyes.
If grandma could have such a binding nourishment, surely it would quickly recover...
In an instant, the old woman understood something, fear and panic showing in her eyes. She wanted to struggle but was already powerless, and even as she thought of slipping back into the Underworld again, White Crane Child’s vertical pupil spun, she was completely cut off within it.
She could only watch helplessly as the young man held the boiling black water in one hand, while making beckoning sounds towards the water surface of the reservoir:
"Coo coo coo... coo coo coo...
Granny Yu, dinner is served."
The previously calm surface of the water stirred again, the former Blood Man was now extensively pallid and necrotic, skin and flesh peeling off.
But greedily, she returned to the shore, crawling up.
At this moment, Granny Yu didn’t even have the strength to stand, she could only slowly slither forward, truly like a dog.
Li Zhiyuan extended his left hand forward to continue luring Granny Yu over; his right hand opened and Karmic Fire rose again, preparing to send Granny Yu completely on her way.
However, looking at the boiling black water in his left hand, Li Zhiyuan couldn’t help but remark:
"Li Lan, just how much do you miss me."
Finally, Granny Yu crawled over, and when she lifted her head to suck the "extremely delicious" black water, Li Zhiyuan flung his left hand backward and directly slapped her forehead.
Karmic Fire, once again covered her body, this time, she could not flail against it, only passively emitting a miserable wail as the last bit of remaining flesh rapidly peeled off.
Li Zhiyuan watched her tragic state, speaking with a smile:
"Descendant of the Dragon King from both Qin and Liu families—Li Zhiyuan.
sends Granny Yu off."
