“Help us?” The woman who spoke first looked even more ferocious because her face was covered in blood.
Her tone was filled with resentment and disdain. “Will your family help us?”
“We only ended up in such a state because we believed that the Li family would help us!” the woman said angrily. Kong Rui could even feel the killing intent in her eyes.
Kong Rui walked to the woman’s coffin and gently pushed away Chao Bai’s hand. “Do you think I would stand in front of you like this if I were a member of the Li family?”
“The Li family’s ancestral hall is a forbidden area. If I dare to enter, there’s nothing I don’t dare to do!” Kong Rui snorted again, showing her disdain for the Li family.
The woman seemed to hesitate, and the child beside her called out, “Sister, can you help me? I don’t want to sleep in this thing anymore. It’s dark and crowded inside, and I can’t move. From time to time, someone will come to take our blood and say that they want to use it to feed something. I’m in pain… I miss my parents and my brother… Can you bring me home?”
When Kong Rui heard the child’s words, everything she had suffered as a child flashed across her mind.
Empress… Li family…
How many more lives did they have to sacrifice before they would stop?
Seeing that Kong Rui looked a little dazed, Chao Bai walked to Kong Rui’s side and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Kong Rui shook her head and took a deep breath. “I’m fine! I’m thinking about how to save them!”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, everyone in the coffin was shocked. “Are you really going to save us? Aren’t you afraid that the Li family will seek revenge on you?”
Hearing those people’s words, Kong Rui sneered and said, “The Li family has to pay the price for what they have done!”
The woman who had doubted Kong Rui previously seemed to believe that she really wasn’t from the Li family, but someone who could save them.
The woman coughed lightly. “Since you’re not from the Li family, we can trust you.”
The woman sighed heavily again. “If—if you’re really willing to help us, please… kill us!”
When Kong Rui heard the woman’s words, her brows furrowed tightly, and a strange expression appeared in her eyes. “Why?”
“Don’t you want to get out alive?” Kong Rui was slightly agitated. It was obvious that she couldn’t understand the woman’s thoughts.
The woman said in a bitter voice, “Do you think we can get out alive like this?”
“We’ve already had our essence blood exhausted. We’re just hanging on by a thread with those drugs and spells. If we leave this place, we’ll die,” the woman said with resignation.
Kong Rui looked at the seven coffins in front of her. The oldest among them looked to be in their thirties, and the youngest child might only be seven or eight years old!
Kong Rui’s heart ached. While she felt sad for the fate of these people, she also felt heartache for her former self.
If Kong Niang and the others had not saved her, she might have been destined to die like these people.
No! She wasn’t like them!
Kong Rui suddenly looked at the coffins in front of her firmly.
From the moment she fell into the Demon Abyss and was saved by Kong Niang and the others, she had become a demon!
Kong Rui looked up at the seven coffins in front of her again. “Have you decided?”
The woman spoke first. “I have another wish. I hope you can help me fulfill it. Of course, I won’t let you do these things for nothing. As long as you help me send a message to my fiancé, someone will naturally pay you compensation.”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, uninterested in the remuneration the woman was talking about. “I don’t need it.”
“No!” The woman didn’t give Kong Rui a chance to refuse. “I need it! I don’t want to owe you anything after I die…”
“So, I beg you, fulfill my wish and take your reward!”
The woman’s tone was filled with pleading, and she sounded so imploring that it filled Kong Rui with pity.
Kong Rui blinked and said, “Alright! I promise you!”
“I have a wish too…” The man in the coffin beside her said.
“Me too…” The voices from the other coffins sounded one after another, but the child’s coffin was silent.
