Chapter 308 – This Murong Jing, She Knows Witchcraft!

“Murong Jing, do you know this person?” When Murong Jing arrived at the so-called destination and had her hood removed, she heard these words.

She looked up at the person in front of her, who surprisingly shouldn’t have been there at that time.

The person in front of her was Wei Rou.

Wei Rou was looking at Murong Jing with a complicated expression. She hadn’t expected that the powerful Murong Jing she knew would still get captured and be in such a sorry state.

Did it align with that saying?

The wicked will always be outdone by the righteous?

“I don’t know her,” Murong Jing glanced at her and then calmly looked away.

She knew there was something between her and Wei Rou, but she couldn’t admit it.

“Wei Rou, now repeat the deal between you and Murong Jing,” the man said to Wei Rou again.

“Yes, alright,” Wei Rou seemed to be very afraid of this man.

Indeed, who wouldn’t be afraid? Behind this man stood the power of the state.

Wei Rou never expected that merely causing a few deaths would attract the attention of the state.

From the moment she was taken away, Wei Rou knew she couldn’t resist.

So she chose to confess fully.

Thus, in front of Murong Jing, Wei Rou chose to recount their previous deals once more.

“…That’s how it was. After my parents picked up the money I got from Murong Jing, my father died half a month later, and my mother died a month later.”

“Everyone thought they died of illness.”

“Later, Murong Jing said she was leaving. I thought she was probably coming to Beijing for school. She asked if I wanted her to take care of Yang Zhiwen and his mother for me.”

“I had tasted the benefits last time, so I agreed…”

That’s right, using the same old trick, due to Murong Jing’s spellcasting, Yang Zhiwen and his mother died.

Their deaths were almost identical to those of her parents.

However, when the doctor came, he said it wasn’t any contagious disease.

Afterwards, rumors slowly spread in the village that Wei Rou was cursed, bringing misfortune to her family and husband.

No one dared to get close to Wei Rou anymore, and no one even thought about marrying her.

In fact, these rumors were spread by Wei Rou herself.

She was afraid that if Yang Zhiwen and his mother died, living as a widow with a child in the Yang family home, those so-called relatives of the Yang family would have opinions.

Originally, the Yang family house should have belonged to her son.

But she feared that some malicious people would try to seize the house and then find ways to marry her off, taking her son with them.

After her parents died, seeing the true faces of her Wei family relatives, she knew that this world was full of selfish and malicious people.

Of course, she was one of them.

She knew all too well the importance of a house to anyone in these times.

So, she first spread this rumor, making everyone fear her, not daring to mess with her.

Of course, this would also lead to people distancing themselves from her in the future.

But it didn’t matter, she didn’t care.

Wei Rou had long understood the indifference of this world, and she didn’t care about those superficial things.

She could live well with her son by herself.

In fact, it proved she was right.

After Yang Zhiwen and his mother died, some Yang family relatives indeed had their eyes on the Yang family house, thinking Wei Rou, being an outsider, shouldn’t occupy it.

Her son could stay, but Wei Rou had to be married off, and then her son would be adopted by the Yang family relatives who inherited the Yang family house.

The plan was well thought out, but those who originally planned to marry Wei Rou were immediately scared off after hearing the rumors.

That was four lives lost.

They didn’t want to be cursed to death by Wei Rou.

So, they decided to leave it be.

No one married Wei Rou. The Yang family relatives, unable to find a reason to drive her away, could only let her stay with her son.

Everything went as Wei Rou had planned.

But Wei Rou didn’t expect that her peaceful days would last only six months before she was suddenly taken away one night in secret.

Later, she discovered that those who took her were from the state.

Moreover, they knew the cause of death of those four people and even knew about her dealings with Murong Jing.

Although Wei Rou had some tricks up her sleeve, she was ultimately just a small figure in the Dahe Production Brigade.

Upon learning that those who captured her were state agents, she was instantly terrified.

She confessed everything she had done.

“…That’s the whole story.”

“So, this Murong Jing, she knows witchcraft!”

“I don’t know how she knows it. It has nothing to do with me. I only know these things.”

At this moment, Murong Jing stared at Wei Rou with bloodshot eyes.

She hadn’t expected Wei Rou to be so foolish as to reveal everything about her.

Initially, when Murong Jing arrived in this world, she was proud of being a former cultivator, feeling superior to others.

But gradually, she realized that no small world should be underestimated.

So, she slowly restrained herself, planning to hide and cultivate well. She intended to reveal her abilities and ambitions only when she reached a high level, where no one could defy her.

However, now, Wei Rou had exposed her.

Murong Jing didn’t even know when she had come under the scrutiny of these state agents.

Perhaps they had been watching her for some time, yet she hadn’t noticed at all.

Murong Jing couldn’t help but curse these people for their cunning.

“Murong Jing, why don’t you come clean about how you learned this witchcraft?”

“And, are you really Murong Jing?”

The last question sent a shock through Murong Jing, her pupils contracting.

Although Murong Jing’s change wasn’t very obvious, the man still noticed.

The person in front of him wasn’t the real Murong Jing.

In fact, the reason he asked this was due to information previously obtained from Jiang Xiao.

Murong Jing and Jiang Xiao weren’t ordinary people, though their abilities differed.

If the current Jiang Xiao might not be the original Jiang Xiao, then the current Murong Jing might also not be the original Murong Jing.

Now it was confirmed—he was right.

“I ask you, where exactly are you from, demon?”

“Where is the real Murong Jing?”

Perhaps due to the impact on Murong Jing’s mind at that moment, or perhaps because he mentioned the real Murong Jing, the real Murong Jing, who had been suppressed and in a deep sleep, woke up.

In that moment of distraction, she even took control of the body.

So, everyone saw Murong Jing’s face twist momentarily, undergoing a noticeable change.

From the original cold and expressionless look, it became gentle, with helplessness and pleading in her eyes.

“I am Murong Jing. It’s this woman who came out of nowhere that has taken over my body.”

“Please, save me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Jing’s face twisted again, becoming fierce.

“You are courting death!” she snarled, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
