Mu Niannian was really about to rise from the dead!
Mu Niannian, the great villain of ten lifetimes, had spent a full three hundred years wreaking havoc in the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
At last, Lord Yama had kicked her out!
It all started when Lord Yama came to inspect the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
He discovered that his Eighteenth Level of Hell now had a bathhouse, a foot-rubbing club,
and ghost fitness instructors who were even more handsome than he was…
He was furious! With one kick, he sent Mu Niannian flying out!
Mu Niannian vaguely heard Lord Yama muttering something.
Unfortunately, her hearing was poor, and she didn’t catch it!
As soon as she reached the Gates of Hell, she saw a beautiful woman.
Seeing how lovely the woman was, she glanced left and right. When she saw that no one was around, she secretly reached out and gave the woman a gentle push forward.
The beautiful woman, who had just stepped one foot through the Gates of Hell, vanished without a trace.
“Another act of merit!”
Mu Niannian clapped her hands and had just finished muttering when she felt a sharp pain in her bottom and was kicked again.
The next moment, the world spun around her, and she nearly threw up.
“Madam, hold on! Don’t fall asleep! Push, quickly! The baby is about to be born!”
A girl’s sobbing voice came from beside her, and Mu Niannian found it utterly baffling.
A moment later, she slid out along with a warm stream of water.
Mu Niannian instinctively opened her eyes.
Er… never mind. She’d better keep them shut.
“Madam, it’s a daughter!” Caiyun said excitedly, her face full of joy as she spoke to her mistress.
Clumsily, she wrapped up the baby and carefully carried her over to her own mistress, who was on the verge of death.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door was pushed open.
A chilly wind swept inside, and Caiyun hurriedly shielded Madam with her body.
“Greetings, Madam,” the old woman at the doorway said flatly.
She cast a disgusted glance at the woman who had just given birth.
“Old Madam sent me to take the child to her. Old Madam said that Madam should rest properly. Once your body has recovered, you’ll be able to serve Master!”
Nanny Liu’s eyes flickered faintly, excitement hidden deep within them.
Mu Niannian happened to turn her head toward her.
The moment she saw Nanny Liu’s face, she was disgusted.
[Whoa, she’s so ugly! My eyes are going to break!]
The tiny baby felt completely unwell after seeing her.
Just then, Madam Mu slowly opened her eyes, her brows drawing together.
Who had just spoken?
Could she be hearing things again?
Madam Mu shook her head, then looked toward Nanny Liu. She was about to speak when a soft, babyish voice interrupted her.
[Waaah, this person’s soul is practically spewing black smoke… Huh? Why does this scene feel a little familiar?]
Mu Niannian blinked, and a flash of golden light flickered past the depths of her eyes.
After seeing something unknown, she felt even worse.
The little baby burst into aggrieved wails.
[Lord Yama, you’re bullying me again!]
The little bundle sobbed while crying out in a babyish voice inside her heart.
She had never imagined that she would be thrown into that infuriatingly outrageous nameless book.
The scene before her was exactly one she had seen before.
She had been so furious when she read it that she had stolen the Judge’s Brush and secretly rewritten the story.
She had even hidden the book beneath Lord Yama’s desk to prop up one of its legs.
That way, no one else would discover it.
But just after she had crossed out the ending and was planning to rewrite it that night, Lord Yama had kicked her out!
[Beautiful Mama, don’t believe a word she says!]
[They don’t want to raise me at all. They clearly want to skin me, tear me apart, and eat me!]
Thinking of what would happen later, Mu Niannian was so frightened that she began wailing loudly, tears streaming nonstop.
Madam Mu was frightened by those words as well.
She was now completely certain that what she had heard was her daughter’s inner voice.
But her daughter had only just been born!
Acting on instinct, Madam Mu gently patted her daughter’s back and soothed her.
She lowered her head and looked at her daughter, her weak eyes struggling to open wide.
Seeing the little creature in her arms crying with such fierce indignation, Madam Mu felt a pang of heartache.
No matter who her daughter had been in her previous life, she was now merely her own daughter.
“Don’t be afraid, my darling. Mama is here. Mama will protect you,” Madam Mu whispered as she held the little bundle close.
Suddenly, the baby’s soft crying stopped. The little bundle’s large eyes stared directly into Madam Mu’s face.
[Ahhh—so this is my mama?]
[My mama’s beauty is killing me… This face could beat Nie Xiaoqian to a pulp and kick Xiao Dou’e aside!]
The little one cried out in excitement.
The soft, babyish bundle had actually let out a goose-like honk.
Looking at her daughter, Madam Mu’s heart grew even softer.
“Madam…”
Seeing Nanny Liu’s expression grow increasingly ugly, Caiyun was filled with worry.
Nanny Liu was Old Madam’s favorite attendant.
If Madam offended Nanny Liu, then once Master returned, Madam would inevitably end up quarreling with him again.
“Yes, I’m fine,” Madam Mu said softly, though she couldn’t bear to take her eyes off her daughter.
Her daughter was truly adorable!
Thinking of what her daughter had just said, her gaze darkened.
[Mama… why are you so beautiful? I’ve looked across the Three Realms, and my mama is absolutely the number-one beauty in all three realms… Then I definitely won’t grow up ugly either!]
Hearing her daughter’s words, Madam Mu’s brows and eyes relaxed somewhat, and her whole person took on an even more delicate, sickly beauty.
Looking at Madam Mu’s beautiful appearance and thinking of her mother’s fate, Mu Niannian’s heart began to ache.
Her mama’s life was truly so bitter!
Recalling the scenes she had read, Mu Niannian grew more and more heartsick until she burst into tears again.
Her mama was too pitiful…
[My poor, ill-fated mama! This whole family eats people without even spitting out the bones—and I mean that literally. I’m still so tiny, yet they already want to eat me…]
[That old hag even plans to replace me with a fake after eating me. And my four poor biological older brothers—who knows what kind of suffering they’re enduring right now…]
Madam Mu’s fingertips trembled when she heard this.
The expression on her face froze.
How could her four sons possibly be fakes? They looked so much like their father!
Was what her daughter said true, or had she lost her mind?
Was it all just a hallucination?
Madam Mu’s chest rose and fell violently, cold light flickering in her eyes. For a moment, she still couldn’t accept any of this.
“Madam, are you all right? Why don’t you give me the child for now? That way, I can return and report to Old Madam!”
Nanny Liu had grown somewhat impatient by this point. As she spoke, she reached out directly to take Mu Niannian.
Remembering her daughter’s words, Madam Mu instinctively tightened her hold on her child and leaned backward, dodging Nanny Liu’s hand. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
Nanny Liu was startled by that look and instinctively took a step back.
“Madam, what do you mean by this?”
She scrutinized Madam Mu, trying to determine what was going on with her.
Madam Mu drew a deep breath, doing her best to appear calm.
Looking at Nanny Liu, she said, “There’s no need. This time, I’ll raise the child myself. You may go back and report to… Old Madam.”
Nanny Liu’s expression changed slightly at Madam Mu’s words, and her eyes flickered.
She wondered whether Madam Mu had discovered something.
