PWE – Chapter 95 Did she also have those kinds of feelings for him?

“You…” The rat demon tried to speak, but Xiao Wange said, “If I want to know more secrets, I can investigate them myself. I don’t need you to tell me. After all, you rat demon are a crafty one—what if you make up some fake secret to trick me? Wouldn’t that make me an idiot?!”

The rat demon was stunned. He hadn’t expected Xiao Wange to be completely unmoved by his words. He had thought the word secret would force her to submit, but now it seemed he had been naïve.

With a stab, the tip of the sword suddenly plunged into his chest. He felt a sharp pain surge from that spot, a pain so intense it felt as though it could take his life. Xiao Wange had already forced him back into human form earlier—after all, if they were going to take him outside, letting him appear as a rat would surely terrify everyone out there.

In human form, suffering such pain made him look like a handsome young gentleman being tortured. If someone who didn’t know the truth saw him like this, they would surely feel sympathy. But everyone present knew he was a terrifying rat, so no matter how pained his expression was, no one cared in the slightest.

Xiao Wange withdrew the sword. Blood clung to its tip and dripped onto the ground with a steady drip, drip.

She slightly turned her wrist, and the sword vanished.

The police officers who witnessed this series of actions were utterly shocked.

Someone could actually conjure a sword out of thin air—and then make it disappear just like that!

This must be sorcery, right? It looked… incredibly powerful and mysterious.

Earlier, this female comrade had also used magic—she had struck the rat demon with a beam of yellow light, and he had turned into a rat. It was just that a moment ago, they hadn’t dared to believe that magic and demons truly existed. They hadn’t dared to acknowledge that reality.

But now they knew: magic and demons really did exist in this world. Some things weren’t confined to myths and legends.

The police captain looked at Xiao Wange, suddenly feeling a bit excited—he didn’t even know why. Looking at her now felt like looking at an immortal.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to her, when Xiao Wange suddenly turned her head and looked at Wei Chuchu. “I know you’re very discouraged right now. But as long as you’re still alive, any despair can turn into hope. People can create miracles. Even though you’re at the lowest point of your life right now, as long as your heart faces the sunlight, you’ll eventually climb out of the valley and stand at the peak of your life.”

If an ordinary person had said this, Wei Chuchu might not have listened.

But in Wei Chuchu’s eyes, Xiao Wange was like a deity.

Hearing such encouragement from an immortal sent huge ripples through Wei Chuchu’s heart. She suddenly felt stirred and said to Xiao Wange, “I understand, Great Immortal. I won’t sink into despair. I’ll work hard to pull myself together and create my own miracle.”

Xiao Wange nodded. “That’s good.”

Seeing hope rekindled in their daughter’s eyes, Wei Changguo and his wife secretly let out a sigh of relief.

They had been afraid their daughter would sink into despair forever, afraid she would lose all hope and live in perpetual gloom.

But fortunately, there was the Great Immortal.

The Great Immortal truly was a good person—not only saving their daughter, but also encouraging her like this. She was their family’s benefactor for life.

Xiao Wange turned around, picked up Zhaozhao, and walked out of the house.

Since everything here was settled, it was time for her to go back.

She wanted to hurry back to the village to see what was going on with that formation, and also head up Hongta Mountain to investigate what kind of “big figure” was there.

Seeing that Xiao Wange was leaving, Mu Yunhao and He Xiuyan naturally followed behind her.

Wei Changguo and his wife chased after her and pressed more than a thousand yuan into her hands.

After all, the Great Immortal had helped the Wei family today—it was only right to give her some compensation for her trouble.

Lu Jiashu also wanted to invite Xiao Wange to stay for dinner, but Xiao Wange declined.

Holding Zhaozhao, Xiao Wange turned to Mu Yunhao and the others behind her and said, “You don’t need to follow me. It’ll be evening soon—those of you who should go home, go home.”

Mu Yunhao pressed his lips together and looked at her gently. “Comrade Xiao, let me take you and Zhaozhao back. This place is quite far from Danshui Village. If you go back on your own, it’ll take a long time. Why don’t I—”

“No need. Zhaozhao and I can take a bus ourselves. This place is even farther from the county seat—you should hurry back and drive there,” Xiao Wange interrupted, lifting her eyes to glance at him.

Before Mu Yunhao could respond, she took a talisman out of her pocket and handed it to him. “This is a peace talisman I drew especially for a big boss like you. As the person in charge of the county’s largest factory, you have many friends—and probably no shortage of enemies either. Keeping this talisman should help keep you safe.”

Mu Yunhao’s face lit up with surprise.

He quickly took it and said, “Thank you, Comrade Xiao. You’re very thoughtful—thank you.”

She had drawn a special talisman just for him. Did that mean that, in her heart, she actually valued him too?

“There are words I want to say to you inside the talisman. You can open it and read them when you get back.” A voice suddenly rang in Mu Yunhao’s ears.

Mu Yunhao froze. It was Xiao Wange’s voice—but it seemed only he could hear it. The sound went straight into his ears, unlike anything normal.

“Comrade Xiao, don’t we get any?” Seeing that Mu Yunhao had a special talisman, He Xiuyan frowned, suddenly feeling rather gloomy.

Why did Comrade Xiao draw a special talisman for Mu Yunhao? Did that mean she had those kinds of feelings for him?

Shi Jinzhang, meanwhile, was happily watching the drama unfold from the sidelines.

If Comrade Xiao also had feelings for Comrade Mu, then Mu Yunhao’s wish might come true before long.

She was more than happy to see it. Comrade Xiao was outstanding, and Comrade Mu was outstanding too—two such excellent people were truly a perfect match.

Xiao Wange glanced at He Xiuyan, frowned slightly, then took a few more talismans from her pocket. “These are for you and Shi Jinzhang and the others. Take them and share them.”

He Xiuyan reached out to accept them.

Lowering his gaze to look at what he was holding, he felt unhappy nonetheless. Although Comrade Xiao had prepared talismans for him and Shi Jinzhang too, theirs were different from Mu Yunhao’s.

He still wasn’t happy. It felt as though Comrade Xiao was about to be taken away.

After handing over the items, Xiao Wange held Zhaozhao and quickly walked toward the street across from them.

He Xiuyan pressed his lips together, wanting to follow, when a shrill voice suddenly rang out from the courtyard behind them.

“Beat Wei Changxing to death—beat that bastard! Hit him hard!”

“And that He Caiyun too! Beat her as well—beat them both!”

It was the relatives of the six deceased, venting their fury on Wei Changxing and He Caiyun. After all, those two had caused their children’s deaths—wanting to take out their anger on them was only natural.

He Xiuyan glanced back at the situation in the courtyard, then withdrew his gaze and looked toward the street ahead. But there was no sign of Xiao Wange there.

In just a few seconds, Xiao Wange and Zhaozhao had vanished.

He Xiuyan knitted his brows and hurried after them, but after chasing for more than ten minutes, he still couldn’t find either of them.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wange carried Zhaozhao into a quiet alley.

Zhaozhao looked around and lifted his head. “Mom, why did we come here?”

There wasn’t a single person around—what was Mom bringing him here for?

Xiao Wange’s eyes darkened slightly. Holding Zhaozhao with one arm, she gently stroked his back with the other. “This is the way we take to go home. From here, we can get back faster.”

“Really?” Zhaozhao bit his little lip, wanting to say something more, when a wave of drowsiness suddenly swept over him. Unable to resist it, he buried his head against his mother’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Xiao Wange said softly, “Sleep. When you wake up… we’ll be home.”

As she spoke, she suddenly lifted her eyes to the sky above. The sky was a clear, pristine blue, so clean it looked as if it had been washed with detergent.

She stared at the sky for a moment, her expression turning serious, and murmured, “I’ll just undo a bit of the seal—just a little. I’m not completely lifting it, so that doesn’t count as breaking my promise, right?”

In fact, she had already undone part of the seal last night. Otherwise, the spells she used today wouldn’t have been so powerful.

But that small release still wasn’t enough. She felt she needed to release a bit more—after all, she was going to investigate the big figure on Hongta Mountain. That person was likely very formidable. If she went to confront him with her current strength, she feared… she would suffer a loss.
