The Village Chief’s Youngest Son’s Demand

Grand Finale (Part 1)

Insane. This man was truly insane.

Ming Qingfu watched him drag Wu Jie’s corpse inside. He handled it as if he were dragging a sack of cement.

“This is going to be a hassle,” the Village Chief’s youngest son muttered to himself.

Ming Qingfu didn’t dare look at what was happening over there. She could only keep chanting the name of the Immortal Lady in her heart.

Inside the mine, the Village Chief’s youngest son began to process the corpse. He worked with great earnestness, and then he started talking again.

Ming Qingfu pretended to be asleep, but she was actually listening to what he was saying.

It seemed he wanted to go back to Xinghua Village.

And the Village Chief’s youngest son would kill her. He would probably kill her too.

She continued to pray to the Immortal Lady in her heart, just as she had done during every painful moment in her past.

She yearned for the Immortal Lady to use her divine power to shoulder her pain and her fear.

In the past, this tactic worked because all her suffering had been mental.

As a spiritual placebo, the Immortal Lady had been able to soothe Ming Qingfu at every moment in the past.

But this moment was different. Right now, the pain was a heavy blade hanging over her head, about to fall.

Ming Qingfu could no longer remain curled up in her mental world. An uncontrollable fear dragged her out of the spiritual realm protected by the Immortal Lady. She forced herself to start recalling everything related to the Village Chief’s youngest son.

The Village Chief’s youngest son had been a prominent figure in the village. Ming Qingfu remembered that when she was a child, he was the one she envied most. He always had clean clothes and an endless supply of candy.

Later, when he became a doctor, he was also an object of envy for everyone.

Then something happened. He gave someone an injection and killed them. On the surface, the villagers didn’t say much, but no one was willing to go to him for medical treatment anymore.

Ming Qingfu vaguely remembered that at the time, he kept saying it wasn’t a problem with his injection, that everyone gave injections that way. It wasn’t his fault.

Later, he went to the city on his own. After the Immortal Lady came to wipe out the evils in the village, the Village Chief went to prison. Consequently, the incident where the Village Chief’s youngest son killed someone with an injection was dug up again. The Village Chief’s youngest son went to prison as well.

Ming Qingfu hadn’t paid much attention to these things when she heard about them back then. After all, they were things that happened to other people.

But now, she looked at this psychopath and began to think about how to secure a chance at life from the Village Chief’s youngest son’s past.

He must have gone mad from being in prison.

But why did he kill the three members of The Fortune Teller’s family?

Ming Qingfu began to recall everything that had happened recently. She forced herself to understand what was going on with the Village Chief’s youngest son through the cracks of her fear.

He was still a human being, after all.

Ming Qingfu stopped thinking about the Immortal Lady and started recalling everything related to the Village Chief’s youngest son.

When he was a child, the Village Chief’s youngest son was taken to the temple to pray for blessings. Back then, he could always stand at the very front.

Then there was the resentment after he killed someone with the injection. At that time-

Ming Qingfu remembered. Back then, he was swearing an oath: “His death has nothing to do with me! The Immortal Lady knows!”

Now, the Village Chief’s youngest son had suddenly killed The Fortune Teller’s family of three.

Ming Qingfu remembered. He only started killing after he heard that the Immortal Lady was trapped in a human body.

Ming Qingfu was a very devout believer. She put herself in his shoes.

She recalled another insignificant detail from this period. The Village Chief’s youngest son had repeatedly asked Wu Jie one thing: “Do you remember the injection incident back then?”

Every time, Wu Jie would say that others had framed the Village Chief’s youngest son. Whenever he got that answer, the Village Chief’s youngest son would show a very relieved smile.

All of this struck her like a bolt of lightning. Suddenly, everything clicked.

The Village Chief’s youngest son hadn’t killed The Fortune Teller’s family because of a sudden fit of madness. At that moment, he had suddenly realized what had happened to his trapped life.

Ming Qingfu thought about things from the Village Chief’s youngest son’s perspective. When she did business, her greatest strength was putting herself in the customer’s shoes.

He must feel that his fate was changed because of that injection incident.

In his eyes, he was wrongly accused, and the Immortal Lady should have known the truth.

But the Immortal Lady didn’t give him justice. Instead, she let the police lock him up for eight years.

He must have been seeking this answer for all these years.

Until he heard The Fortune Teller’s family say that the Immortal Lady was trapped in a mortal body.

So, the man who had already gone mad simply sent the Immortal Lady back to heaven.

He was indeed insane.

Meanwhile, the Village Chief’s youngest son had finished processing Wu Jie.

He picked up a club and was about to deal with Ming Qingfu.

Ming Qingfu didn’t dare pretend to sleep any longer and sat up immediately. Her hands were tied, and the movement took all her strength.

“Don’t kill me. My daughter will give you money. We just want to survive. I won’t call the police.”

“It’s not about money. You saw me kill people. You can’t live. If you live, you’ll definitely report me.”

Ming Qingfu understood his meaning instantly.

She knew her guess hadn’t been wrong, so she hurriedly said, “I am the Immortal Lady’s Child Attendant. If you kill me, I will return to heaven immediately, and that’s when I’ll truly report you.”

The Village Chief’s youngest son actually stopped.

Ming Qingfu continued, “I have a very good relationship with the Immortal Lady.”

“The Immortal Lady came to me in a dream. She told me in the dream to tell you that she already knows what happened back then.”

“What happened back then?”

“The injection incident. It wasn’t your fault. The Immortal Lady didn’t realize it at the time because she was a mortal then, and she was deceived by other mortals. Now that she’s back in heaven, she knows everything.”

The Village Chief’s youngest son was now seventy or eighty percent convinced.

“Don’t kill me. I can help you speak with the Immortal Lady.”

The Village Chief’s youngest son pulled out a knife. Ming Qingfu closed her eyes in terror.

How could it not work? She believed in the Immortal Lady herself. She had put herself in his position and thought this explanation would be completely convincing.

Something suddenly flashed through her mind, but the thought moved too quickly for her to grasp.

At that moment, the Village Chief’s youngest son used a knife to cut the ropes binding her.

“Talk to the Immortal Lady now…”

“Not here,” Ming Qingfu said. She hadn’t decided on her next move yet, so she improvised. “I have to go back to the temple. We Child Attendants can only summon the Immortal Lady if we are inside the temple.”
