488 Five Days

Xia Qiluo’s expression changed drastically. She raised her hand to block the attack. She had thought that the demon who possessed Xu Lin was just a weak little demon and the Lightning Triggering Talisman was enough to deal with it.

She had grossly miscalculated. To be able to shapeshift like this, it had to have at least a few hundred years of cultivation. Xu Lin’s eyes were red and filled with resentment. He was bent on taking her life. Definitely going to take her life!

Xia Qiluo didn’t even have the time to dodge. However, when Xu Lin’s sharp claws tore through Xia Qiluo’s clothes and touched her skin, he was suddenly sent flying away by a force that could almost destroy him.

Xu Lin fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Madam Xu was terrified. She watched as her son turned into a monster and wanted to kill Xia Qiluo. Her face was ashen. She wanted to scream at his son to get him to stop when a golden light shone on Xia Qiluo’s body and sent her son flying.

Madam Xu hurriedly crawled over. The beastly look on Xu Lin’s face had already disappeared. His eyes were closed, and she did not know if he was dead or alive.

Madam Xu’s tears fell like rain as she shouted Xu Lin’s name heart-wrenchingly. “Lin, don’t scare me. How am I supposed to live if you die?”

Xia Qiluo’s shoulder was scratched. The wound was not deep, but it was still painful. She walked over and reached out to touch Xu Lin’s neck. She said calmly, “He’s still alive.”

Xu Lin was not dead, but she didn’t know if the demon in him was still there.

Xia Qiluo checked but did not find any trace of the demon. She used to be a disciple of the Cloud Breaking Sect and was bestowed the Exorcism Talisman by the Cloud Breaking sect master. After being blown away by the talisman, it was unknown if the wolf demon had turned to ashes or not.

Madam Xu was extremely worried. “Then, is that demon still in my son?”

Xia Qiluo’s eyes darkened. “I’ll try again.”

She took out the Lightning Triggering Talisman and slapped it on Xu Lin’s body. The talisman burned and Xu Lin’s expression became twisted with pain. After the thunderclap, Xu Lin spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth. “I don’t believe that I can’t subdue you.”

Xia Qiluo took out the talisman again. But Xu Lin’s expression was incomparably painful at this moment. He opened his eyes, which were red. He let out a beastly roar and kept vomiting blood continuously.

Seeing that her son was in extreme pain, Madam. Xu broke down and begged Xia Qiluo to stop. “Enough, enough. Princess, please stop. If this continues, my son will die.”

Whether the demon was subdued or not after this, her son would surely die first.

She had requested Xia Qiluo to come to save her son’s life, not to kill him.

Madam Xu’s heart was in turmoil. “I’ll go beg Miss Liu. No matter what she says about me, as long as she can save my son, I don’t care anymore…”

She was unwilling to admit that Liu Sanniang had already seen through everything. Liu Sanniang was more powerful than Xia Qiluo. Even if she would say things that made her feel humiliated, as long as her son could be in less pain, she was willing to accept the humiliation.

Xia Qiluo frowned. “You’re not allowed to look for Liu Sanniang. I’ll get my shifu to come and take away the demon spirit in Xu Lin’s body. I guarantee that he won’t be in pain. I have a grudge against Liu Sanniang. If you look for her, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Xia Qiluo’s expression was a little sinister. Madam Xu had unwittingly poked her sore spot.

It was obvious that Liu Sanniang had offered help first, but Madam Xu refused. As for why Madam Xu refused, Xia Qiluo didn’t care. No matter what, she wouldn’t allow Madam Xu to consult with Liu Sanniang again.

Madam Xu quickly calmed down. She looked at Xia Qiluo suspiciously and said, “Princess, can your shifu really get rid of this demon? I’m not doubting it. I just feel heartbroken. You’ve never had a child and can’t understand my pain. When those lightning bolts struck my son, my heart also hurt terribly.”

Xia Qiluo clenched her fists. “My shifu, Xu Ran and Xu Qing, are the grand elders of the Cloud Breaking Sect. Their Dao cultivation is profound. A mere wolf demon is nothing to them. How can Liu Sanniang compare to the grand elders of the Cloud Breaking Sect?”

Madam Xu thought so too. The Cloud Breaking Sect had been established for thousands of years. If the great elders interfere, there might really hope of her son recovering. Perhaps they could even find out who harmed her son.

Madam Xu nodded. “Then, please hurry up, Princess. I really don’t want Lin to suffer.”

Xia Qiluo looked at Xu Lin. “Five days at most. He won’t die if he doesn’t eat or drink for five days.”

If he did not eat or drink, he would only suffer a little.

Madam Xu looked at Xu Lin with heartache in her eyes.

Xia Qiluo frowned and said, “You must not give him anything and also prevent him from running out. If he can’t help but kill someone, then only death awaits him.”

Madam Xu’s heart sank. She looked at Xia Qiluo’s serious expression and nodded. “I understand. I’ll listen to your instructions.”

Only then did Xia Qiluo leave.

After Xia Qiluo left, Madam Xu hurriedly called the servants in to clean up the mess. She carried Xu Lin back to the bed, changed his clothes, and wiped his blood.

The servants were trembling with fear. After they finished cleaning, they scurried away.

Everyone was afraid. Only Madam Xu’s eyes were filled with heartache. “Lin, my life.”

In the past few days, Xu Lin had gone from being emaciated to having a muscular build. After eating raw food, his health improved. He was no longer weak like before. He was healthy and even had a muscular body. Madam Xu had never seen her son so healthy.

However, these changes were just a manifestation of the evil thing in her son’s body. If it was not removed, her son would completely become a monster and start a killing spree. Eventually, he would be subdued and killed.

Xu Lin only woke up at night. He looked at Madam Xu with red eyes. “Mother, I’m so hungry. Please let me eat something. I beg you.”

Madam Xu’s heart ached, but when she thought of Xia Qiluo’s instructions, she braced herself and said heartlessly, “Lin, you can’t eat anything now. Hold on for a few more days. The Seventh Princess has already promised me to invite her shifu over. Her shifu is the grand elder of the Cloud Breaking Sect. The Seventh Princess has also guaranteed that she will help you get rid of the evil thing.”

Xu Lin couldn’t even raise his hand. He didn’t have any strength left in him as he looked at Madam Xu in pain.

Tears streamed down Madam Xu’s face. She clenched her fists and stood up to leave. After taking a few steps, she stopped. “Lin, don’t blame Mother. When you recover, you can eat whatever you want. I’m doing this for your own good.”

With that, Madam Xu quickened her pace. She asked the servants to lock the door.

Xia Qiluo promised that it would be five days at most. Five days was not long, but for her at this moment, every moment felt like a year.

Madam Xu thought of Jingen Temple. There was nothing she could do at home, but she could still go to offer incense and ask Master Yuan Hui for a talisman that could ensure her son’s safety. This was the only thing she could do. She would not eat anything for the next few days either. She wanted to go through the thin and thick together with her son.

When Madam Xu came out of the mansion, she immediately saw Liu Sanniang. Her heart skipped a beat, then she pretended to ignore Liu Sanniang and got into the carriage before instructing the coachman. “Go to Jingen Temple.”
