Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

Tao Yao pulled out the Red Flame Sword that had pierced Master Xu's body, wiped the blood off the sword on his clothes, met his distracted gaze, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I can't grant your wish."

Without the support of the Red Flame Sword, Master Xu's body swayed and fell to the ground with a plop.

Then he disappeared.

[The Lord's wish has been withdrawn, and you have not received the wish yet. Please accept the wish as soon as possible and help it come true. 】

Since the person is dead, the wish naturally no longer exists.

Tao Yao put the Red Flame Sword into his backpack, returned to the ancient tower as if nothing had happened, and waited for the next opportunity to come.

After that, I repeated the same process several times before I finally received a wish that was barely "normal".

"I wish I could kill my husband."

[You have received the guest's wish: help her kill her husband.

Time limit: two hours. 】

Tao Yao tilted her head slightly, and her eyes followed the flashing white light and fell on a woman in a light blue silk dress who looked only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

The woman had a beautiful face, with her three thousand black hair tied into a bun, and she was looking at the ancient pagoda with a pious look on her face.

Of course, the people around her had the same expression as her.

It just happened that Taoyao heard her wish.

Without hesitation, she walked towards the woman. Because of her identity as a villager, no one would do anything to her.

He walked to the side of the woman, and just as he stood still and hadn't spoken yet, she couldn't wait to grab Tao Yao's arm, and spoke excitedly and incoherently: "Sir, did the gods hear my wish and ask you to come here specially?"

Tao Yao nodded slightly: "That's right, come with me first, I will find out some information from you."

The woman nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's go!"

Just like that, the two of them left. Some people watched them helplessly, but others had strange looks on their faces.

This villager took so many people away, where did they go?

Although it was strange, no one followed.

Because they are still waiting in line to make a wish.

Naturally, I don't have the energy to care about what other people do.

Tao Yao took the woman a little further away and finally stopped in front of the door of a house.

It's empty here, there's no one around, perfect for communication.

"Tell me about yourself."

Hearing this, the woman's eyes turned red, and she covered half of her face with her sleeves: "Okay..."

The woman's surname is Wen and her given name is Qing.

She was once a well-known gentle lady in the area, and her family was in business. The people who came to propose marriage almost broke down the threshold of the Wen family.

But the Wen family has only one daughter, and she has been spoiled by the Wen couple since she was a child. They hold her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and hold her in their mouths for fear of melting her.

Her mother wanted to keep her at home for a few more years.

At that time, she didn't want to get married hastily, so she was happy and at ease.

During an outing, the master and his servants were attacked by a python halfway up a mountain. The guards were unable to stop it and the women were frightened out of their wits.

At this moment, a handsome young man suddenly appeared, wielding a long sword in his hand, looking extremely powerful.

Just like that, he saved her.

She stared at the beam of light descending, subconsciously wanting to catch it.

She fell in love with him at first sight.

Since then, she lost her appetite and lost a lot of weight. She went to the mountain several times but never saw that man again.

After a long time, she gave up.

But one day, her personal maid came to her in a hurry to report that someone had come to her house to propose marriage, and the person proposing marriage was exactly the young man she had been thinking about day and night!

Then she ran to take a peek and found that her parents' words were full of rejection. How could she just watch them leave?

So he rushed out.

What happened next was somewhat logical.

The two of them often went out to travel and their relationship grew better and better.

A year later, they got married.

But half a year later, the Wen family was engulfed by a sudden fire...

All her relatives are gone!

"In other words, you discovered that the death of your family was related to your husband?"

Wen Qing gnashed her teeth and said, "He is not my husband! He is just a demon in human skin!"

"I tried my best to kill him to avenge my parents, but..."

Her face was tense, and her hands were clenched into fists: "I am no match for him at all, so you can help me, right?"

At the end of her speech, Wen Qing looked up at Tao Yao, her eyes full of anticipation.

Taoyao nodded: "I will, where is your husband now?"

If she wasn't in the village, her task would take a lot of time.

Wen Qing turned her head and pointed in the direction of the ancient pagoda: "I came here secretly by myself, but he is good at acting and followed me under the guise of being worried about me. However, he doesn't know that my wish is to kill him."

Concealment is inevitable.

Otherwise she would never have the chance to come to the Wishing Village.

Tao Yao looked at her and said, "Okay, then go find him and let me recognize him."

Wen Qing left in a hurry. From her back, one could tell that she was very excited.

The great revenge is about to be taken, and everyone will be happy.

Tao Yao followed slowly.

After a moment, she walked to the side of a person.

She is about the same age, has a gentle temperament, and her face matches Wen Qing very well.

"You're willing to come back?" Seeing Wen Qing coming over, the man reached out and smoothed the hair around her ears, smiling: "Did your wish come true?"

He saw Tao Yao taking Wen Qing away, but he was still happy to think that Wen Qing could really realize her wish, so he didn't deliberately follow them.

His wife's mood has been changing recently, and he doesn't want to cause any more unhappiness between them because of this matter.

Only Wen Qing knew how angry she was. She couldn't show it, so she smiled and said, "Yeah, it's done."

It will be realized soon...

The man also smiled, dotingly: "That's good, there are a lot of people here, you must be tired from traveling recently, why don't you go back and rest for a while?"

Looking at his gentle eyes, Wen Qing lowered her head unconsciously and clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

My heart is filled with pain.

It was this kind of look and this kind of smile that made her fall into the whirlpool of emotions and even killed her father and mother.

This is an indelible pain in her heart.

If the person in front of her really liked her, how could he do something to hurt her like this!

This beast in human clothing, she wished she could tear him into pieces!

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she exhaled slowly: "Okay, then let's go together?"

"Well, I'll go and borrow a room from the villagers."

The man said this and turned to look for someone.

Wen Qing only glanced at his back and then looked away to find Tao Yao. After confirming that the other party was not far away, she slightly withdrew her gaze.

People say that the villagers in the Wishing Village are all able to communicate with gods. They can get God's will and some simple wishes, and then help the wisher to fulfill them.

Although her wish concealed a deep hatred, it was indeed just a small matter compared to most people.

She was already contented to have someone to help her.

After a while, the man came back with a key in his hand. He waved it in front of Wen Qing: "Okay, I'll take you to rest first, and then come back to make a wish later."

Wen Qing was stunned: "You also have a wish?"

The man laughed noncommittally: "Why else would I be here?"

As expected, she knew that he couldn't have come along just because he was worried about her.

It was just that he disguised himself so well that she never doubted him.

What does he wish for now?

I'm afraid it's not a wish that can be seen by others!

Thinking of this, but to prevent him from doubting her, she asked casually, "What's your wish?"

"But Madam, you haven't told me yet what your wish is." His tone sounded a little aggrieved, and he looked at her with some sadness.

Wen Qing felt goose bumps all over her body. Her fingertips trembled slightly. After a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "I just hope that my parents can be happy in the next life and not meet an unfilial child like me. If I hadn't left them, I could have gone with them..."

The man's expression slightly condensed: "Don't say such stupid things."

"Then what is your wish?"

His voice rose slightly, revealing his undisguised hope: "I hope... we can grow old together and have many children and grandchildren."

"..."

Oh, it’s impossible in this lifetime!

Taoyao was not far away from the two men and could hear their conversation clearly.

Soon, the two found where they lived, opened the door and went in.

The door was closed again, and Tao Yao waited at the door.

Because she knew that Wen Qing wanted to kill the man and would definitely come looking for her.

Sure enough, within half an hour, the door was opened from the inside.

Seeing Tao Yao, Wen Qing made a silent gesture to her, then moved closer to her and whispered, "He just fell asleep. I tried to attack him several times before, but he is too vigilant. Even if he falls asleep, he can wake up in time. Even if I give him poison, it doesn't work. I really have no other way..."

She couldn't beat him, so she would attack him secretly and disguise herself, but she would be discovered every time.

Tao Yao: "It's okay, just leave it to me, you lead the way."

"it is good."

The room was the family's side bedroom. It was cleaned tidy and the quilt had been replaced.

It can be said that every household here has foreign guests living here all year round, so there are many empty rooms that have been specially cleaned up.

After leading the way, Wen Qing stood aside, wanting to see how Tao Yao would attack the man, but suddenly she felt her clothes tighten in front of her. She was stunned and looked at Tao Yao in confusion, but soon she felt a cold object against her neck!

That's a sword...

She didn't understand what had gone wrong, but in order to prevent the man from knowing what her true wish was, she didn't make a sound.

Tao Yao lowered her head slightly, put her red lips close to her ears, and laughed wantonly and ostentatiously: "Tell me, if only one of you can live, who will die?"

The sound was loud enough to wake up the young man who was lying on the bed and had been coaxed to sleep by Wen Qing.

"Let me go!" At this point, Wen Qing could only struggle angrily.

She vaguely guessed that this person might be deliberately using her as a bargaining chip in exchange for an opportunity to take action against that beast.

She was a little disappointed and felt that Tao Yao was simply playing tricks on her!

Who could understand the man she had slept with for two years as well as she did?

He values ​​his life the most, so how could he sacrifice himself to get her back?

It’s simply whimsical!

Just as he was thinking about it, the person on the bed had already sat up. He saw Wen Qing being held hostage by a sword. There was a moment of panic on his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

I recalled the voice I heard before waking up, and every word became so clear.

If only one of them could survive...

He stood up from the bed and comforted Wen Qing in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, Madam, you will be fine, don't be afraid..."

Then he looked at Tao Yao again with a cold expression: "Didn't you say that one of us can survive? Let her go."

Tao Yao raised her eyebrows: "Oh? You mean to exchange you for her?"

Before Wen Qing could react to what was going on, she saw the man nod without hesitation: "I'll take her place, you let her go first, she's timid, don't scare her."

Every word is full of concern.

He replaced her!

why?

Why did you make such a choice? Or was it a choice without any hesitation?

At this moment, Wen Qing suddenly realized that she didn't seem to understand him very well, because she really couldn't understand why he did this.

If he really cared about her so much, how could he be so cruel to her relatives?

She was completely confused.

Tao Yao seemed unaware of this. She smiled and shook her head: "No."

The man clenched his fists and said coldly, "Didn't we say that one of us can survive? Why can't you exchange me for her?"

Tao Yao had no doubt that if she didn't have Wen Qing as a hostage, the other party's fist would have been swung at her long ago.

If she was just doubtful at the beginning and thought there was some misunderstanding between the two, now she was basically certain.

But her mission is to kill this man. She doesn't care whether the misunderstanding between the two will be resolved. What she cares more about is the complete plot.

In response to his doubts, she just whispered: "If you cut off your right arm and left leg now, I will agree to the exchange."

The man was furious: "You!"

The gentleness from before was long gone, and his expression was so ferocious that he really wanted to grind the person to ashes!

But Tao Yao was not afraid, she shrugged nonchalantly: "If she doesn't want to, forget it, I'll kill her."

As he spoke, the sword in his hand tightened slightly. Wen Qing suddenly felt a pain in her neck, and something warm flowed out.

As Tao Yao moved, the sword blade had already cut Wen Qing's neck.

The bright red blood stung the man's eyes. His eyes turned red and he shouted hurriedly: "Don't hurt her! Don't! I promise you! I'll do it!"

Tao Yao then loosened her grip a little and said impatiently, "It would have been better if you were so obedient earlier. You're wasting my time."

Looking at her like this, she looks like a villain.

The man had no way to deal with her, so he picked up the wooden stool next to him, bent his legs slightly, and smashed it hard!

"boom!"

"Crack!"
