The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 573: Crazy old lady

Only then did they realize that not only had Lei Piaopiao’s cultivation been destroyed, but also the tendons in her feet and hands had been cut.

Chill ran through their hearts.

Wasn’t this a bit too ruthless?

As for the Nine Heavens Cold Iron Chains on Lei Piaopiao’s feet, they were no difficulty at all for Murong and Li Qiqi. Maybe others couldn’t break them, but with the Divine Artifact given by Mu Qiuniang, as long as they set up the barrier without alerting outsiders, it was fine.

Murong was still afraid of being discovered, so he specifically took out a small object and placed it on the straw.

Immediately, a shadow appeared on the straw, looking just like Lei Piaopiao lying on it, identical.

"Second Senior Brother, this thing is useful, who gave it to you? Was it Master again?" Li Qiqi was a bit envious. How come Second Senior Brother had so many strange and good things?

"No, it was a failed product made by Senior Brother. He thought it was useless and was going to throw it away, but I picked it up." Murong smiled, "I didn’t expect it could be used."

"..." So, picking up Senior Brother’s scraps could also turn into treasure? It seemed that she should pick them up in the future too.

Besides this, the two of them also secretly did some other tricks.

Hmph! Let them taste the feeling of being "tortured" for being so ruthless.

Slowly enjoy it!

After setting everything up, only then did they take Lei Piaopiao, lying on the Immortal Sword, out of the dungeon.

Mu Mingzhi lay on the bed, turning over and over, unable to sleep.

Sigh... I wonder if they can really find Piaopiao.

Sigh... I wonder how Piaopiao is doing right now.

Sigh... I wonder when they will meet again.

Three continuous sighs, three continuous "I wonder," Mu Mingzhi felt filled with anxiety.

Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.

"Dad, are you asleep?" A voice gently asked.

"A-Feng?" Mu Mingzhi sat up from the bed, opened the door, and was slightly surprised to see Mu Feng neatly dressed, "It’s so late, aren’t you sleeping, what are you preparing to do?"

"Dad, mom has been found."

"What did you say?! Your mom... has been found?!" Mu Mingzhi trembled slightly.

He could hardly believe it; he was just wondering when he could see her again, and his son came to tell him that Lei Piaopiao had been found?!

"Yes." Mu Feng nodded, "But..."

"What is it? Has something happened to your mom?"

"It’s not good." Her cultivation was destroyed, and her limbs’ tendons were severed. Just a few simple words, but Mu Feng could understand from Cousin’s words to prepare mentally for what it meant.

Most importantly, it was to prepare his dad mentally.

"How bad is it? Is she disfigured or disabled? It doesn’t matter, as long as she’s well and came back safe and sound...," Mu Mingzhi said while his eyes reddened painfully.

"Dad, Cousin’s meaning was for us to mentally prepare, that mom’s situation is a bit bad, so we won’t be shocked when we see her suddenly."

"As long as she is alive, that’s all that matters."

He didn’t know what exactly had happened to his Piaopiao that required his son to repeatedly tell him to prepare mentally.

He didn’t even dare to imagine. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

However, no matter how much he imagined, it couldn’t compare to the reality before his eyes.

When he clearly saw the figure lying on the bed, tears uncontrollably flowed.

His Piaopiao, who used to be so vibrant, was now lying weakly on the bed like a piece of torn white paper.

He had imagined her aged appearance, white hair, and wrinkles, but he never thought she would age so fast.

His Piaopiao was just a little over forty years old, what exactly had she gone through in the decade she left him to become like this now?

She looked as aged as his father, Old Master Mu.

My God?!

"Third Uncle, right now, Third Aunt’s situation is really bad, not only has her cultivation been destroyed but even her hand and foot tendons have been severed."

"What?!" Mu Mingzhi covered his gasp with his hand.

Piaopiao actually had her hand and foot tendons severed?!

Then she... after...

"When we found her, she was locked in a dungeon full of rats, curled up on a straw pile."

Mu Mingzhi couldn’t make a sound, choking, his throat sore with emotion. He was afraid that the moment he spoke, he would cry in front of the younger generation.

His Piaopiao, his poor Piaopiao, suffered so much without him knowing.

"Third Uncle, sorry, Third Aunt’s health is really poor, we used some special methods to make her fall asleep."

Not only for her health but also to allow Li Qiqi to help tidy up, otherwise, in Third Aunt’s previous condition, it was truly unsightly.

Covered in filth, just like being pulled out from a stinking sewer, even before seeing her clearly, one would cover their nose first.

If Third Aunt saw Third Uncle’s reaction, she might feel disheartened too.

Rather than this, it was better to let Third Uncle prepare himself mentally and think of how to face Third Aunt.

"Thank you, A-Rong."

"Third Uncle, it’s what I should do. I’m sorry if we had found Third Aunt a few years earlier, perhaps she wouldn’t have ended up like this."

Mu Mingzhi shook his head, "You can’t be blamed; you haven’t been cultivating for long. Your ability to find her and acknowledge her as your Third Aunt is already a great gratitude for me."

"You are my Third Uncle; if you acknowledge her, I acknowledge her." Murong spoke the truth; if Third Uncle had no relationship with her, he as well would have none.

All and all, it came down to Third Uncle’s attitude.

"Thank you, anyway!" Mu Mingzhi said no more, just quietly gazing at the person through the glass window.

He knew well if he hadn’t cared for Piaopiao, if she weren’t Mu Ying and Mu Feng’s mom, no matter how she was, she would really have no relationship with the Mu family.

Mu Mingzhi, having grown up in a big family, understood that for such a large clan, charity is not something given out indiscriminately. It requires considering timing, place, person, and matter because every decision made is not for oneself but for the entire family.

Since Lei Piaopiao was born into a cultivation family, the people behind her must not be trifled with easily. The Mu family had just started in cultivation, and clashing with an old cultivation family would be thankless.

If it weren’t for Grand-aunt being there...

And Grand-aunt could not stand unconditionally on the Mu family’s side either.

No matter how powerful an individual is, they can’t match a family. Moreover, Grand-aunt has people she wants to protect herself.
