Chapter 2028

"No, I don't want medicine. I don't want to die." Dong Qianqian was truly terrified now.

"Rest assured, you won't die. My sister doesn't want your lives. She just wants you to suffer more than death. So don't worry, I won't kill you," Zhu Yanyi said calmly, announcing her decision.

Zhu Yanyi was no longer the child she had been over a decade ago. She had experienced war and slain evil demons. If she truly wanted to deal with Dong Hu and her family, one finger would suffice.

However, she knew that everyone's lifespan was predetermined. If they did not live out their current life, they would have to repay those years of benefits in the next life. Zhu Yanyi was not the type to repay people with future benefits. They had to live out whatever years they had left in this life, even if it meant living in poverty and misery. As for the next life, that was their own business.

Zhu Yanyi took out the pills and forced them into their mouths. She also gave pills to the remaining mother and son.

Zhu Yanyi had long investigated the Dong family. Among the four family members—the couple and their two children—the son was the most innocent. She had always been a good student, loved academic pursuits, and never caused trouble. She was a bit lonely at school and didn't like socializing.

Zhu Yanyi was not someone who failed to distinguish right from wrong, but she could not leave behind future threats. So, the pill given to the Dong son was one that erased memories of the past. When he woke up, he would have a new identity and a new life, which Yan Aohan would arrange for him.

The other three—Dong Hu and Dong Qianqian—would be paralyzed in bed from now on. They would remain alive with clear minds, but unable to speak or move their limbs. They could only lie in bed, watching everything happen outside, silently waiting for the day their lifespan ended.

Dong’s wife had also acted as an accomplice for her daughter, so she too faced punishment. Her penalty was to care for her husband and daughter. She could not stay far away from them because Zhu Yanyi had sprinkled a special medicine on Dong Hu and her daughter. The scent of this medicine clashed with the pill Dong’s wife had taken. As long as she cared for them peacefully, there would be no problem. But if she stayed away for more than two hours, she would feel pain all over her body, as if ants were biting her inside. Thus, she could not go far.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the family and said, "This is your punishment. Rest assured, you are still alive. I will have people visit you from time to time."

Since she had made her decision, she had no intention of letting them go. The place to imprison them was already prepared. Yan Aohan would send people to deliver them there, and Taishu Yuanxiang would send supervisors. This way, Taishu Yuanxiang would know their situation clearly.

As for the sorcerer who gave Dong Qianqian the Ice Silk Gu, Zhu Yanyi planned to visit Yunnan Province in a couple of days. Since they had committed the act, they must pay the price. As the source of the trouble, the sorcerer had to be eliminated.

After dealing with the Dong family, Zhu Yanyi left them alone. She did not need to manage their aftermath; Yan Aohan would handle everything.

Then, Zhu Yanyi went to the Taishu residence. She played with Little Monkey for a while before turning to Taishu Yuanxiang beside her. "The Dong family has been sent to a deserted island. As you requested, brother-in-law, they will suffer more than death and reap what they have sown. So you can tell your sister not to worry."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanli said to Zhu Yanyi, "Ani, I won't even say thank you."

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "No need. We are sisters." Then she made a funny face at Little Monkey. "Besides, if they dare to bully our Little Monkey, they must pay the price."

Little Monkey giggled happily. Taishu Yuanxiang and Yan Aohan had finished talking nearby. Seeing his son sitting in his wife's arms, Taishu Yuanxiang felt displeased. "Little Monkey, come to Daddy."

Little Monkey did not refuse. He got down from Zhu Yanli's arms and ran straight into Taishu Yuanxiang's embrace.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanli said, "Since Little Monkey has become smarter, I find I have fewer chances to hold him."

"You can only hold me," Taishu Yuanxiang replied shamelessly. "No other opposite sex is allowed to come within half a step of you."

"Little Monkey is your son," Zhu Yanli said, speechless at Taishu Yuanxiang's jealousy.

"Because he is my son, I hold him. But you cannot. Little Monkey is a boy after all. If you want to hold a child in the future, have a daughter. Then you can hold your daughter," Taishu Yuanxiang said with a particularly interesting idea.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi could barely hold back her laughter. She said, "I think I have nothing more to do here. Aohan and I will leave first." Without waiting for their response, she pulled Yan Aohan out of the Taishu residence and burst into laughter.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi laughing, Yan Aohan could not help but laugh too.

"I've never seen anyone so righteous about being jealous of their own son," Zhu Yanyi said, laughing. Then she looked at Yan Aohan. "Aohan, if we have children in the future, will you be jealous of them?"

"No," Yan Aohan answered seriously.

"Really?" Zhu Yanyi expressed disbelief. Based on Yan Aohan's character, she truly didn't believe he wouldn't be jealous.

Yan Aohan said seriously, "I won't be jealous because it's unnecessary. Most importantly, I don't plan for you to have a son. When you are able to conceive, I will ask the Peerless Emperor and Empress for pills to ensure we have a daughter. We will have a daughter, not a son."

(⊙o⊙)… That was even more ruthless.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "Do you have the face to ask the Peerless Emperor and Empress for such a thing? Let me tell you, I will absolutely not intentionally have a daughter. Whether it is a boy or a girl is destined by heaven."

Yan Aohan smiled slightly and remained silent. In truth, the higher a cultivator's realm, the harder it was to have children. Everything within a cultivator's body was their own essence. At a certain stage, a man's yang energy and a woman's yin energy were extremely precious resources.

Having a child required the harmony of male yang and female yin. During this process, cultivators would often use their techniques to transform the yin-yang energy meant for nurturing life into spiritual energy needed for their own cultivation. Therefore, it became increasingly difficult to have children at higher levels.

However, Yan Aohan was a special case. As the Venerable Yanluo, he controlled the birth and reincarnation of all living beings in the world. So, if he truly wanted a child, he could decide for himself. He had long planned to have only a daughter in the future. Because of this plan, he didn't actually need to ask the Peerless Emperor and Empress; he could do it himself. Of course, he would not say this.
