Chapter 13735 No Suicide Allowed

But now, they are going to kill a woman who got into such a predicament for the benefit of her family. Such behavior is really shameless and exposes the ugliness of human nature.

In this depressing and tense atmosphere, Qin Xianglan suddenly raised her head and laughed.

"Reputation? Haha, good, good, good. The Qin family, for the sake of so-called reputation, actually abandoned me. Who did I end up like this for?!"

Her laughter echoed in the dense forest, like the cry of an owl at night, full of deep sadness. In this laughter, memories of the past flooded into my heart like a tide.

She recalled that when she was in the Qin family, she was very cautious, worked hard to cultivate, actively participated in various family affairs, and was only dedicated to winning glory for the family. She made an engagement with the Feather Clan so that the family could gain more powerful support on this continent.

But now, just because of some unfounded rumors, the family wanted to abandon her completely. In fact, she didn't hate the Feather Clan that much in her heart. In her opinion, although the Feather Clan wanted to kill her with cruel means, they also had their own reasons.

After all, he did not bring any substantial benefits to the Feather Clan. Instead, because of his entanglement with Ling Xiao, he brought stigma to the Feather Clan.

What really made her heartbroken and hateful was the Qin family. The family that she once loved so much and gave everything for, in her eyes, was so heartless, ungrateful, and shameless.

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Xianglan's crazy and sad appearance, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and a rare complex look appeared on his face.

"I know you feel wronged, but you should also try to understand our difficulties." His voice was a little hoarse, as if with a hint of helplessness.

"Your father has already said that if you die, they will do their best to kill Ling Xiao to avenge you. Not only that, you are still the eldest daughter of the Qin family after all. You will be buried with honor and even enter the Qin family Hall of Heroes to enjoy the offerings of the family's descendants."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Qin Xianglan's expression, trying to find a possibility of compromise from her reaction.

Qin Xianglan just shook her head gently when she heard this, with a mocking sneer on her face, which seemed to freeze the air around her. "What if I don't commit suicide?" She looked directly into the middle-aged man's eyes, her eyes revealing stubbornness and unwillingness, and her voice was cold, as if squeezed out from between her teeth.

The middle-aged man stared at Qin Xianglan without flinching, his eyes firm and cold. "Then you are the traitor of the Qin family. Your ancestors will be ashamed because of you, and even your poor mother will be burdened by your stigma."

He spoke word by word, and each word was like a heavy stone hitting Qin Xianglan's heart. At this time, the atmosphere in the dense forest became more and more solemn, as if a storm was about to come, making people breathless.

When Qin Xianglan heard what the middle-aged man said, she was struck by lightning. She froze in place and fell into deep silence.

Her eyes became empty and confused, and her thoughts seemed to be dragged into an endless dark abyss by an invisible hand. At this moment, all the sounds in the dense forest seemed to disappear, leaving only the thunderous heartbeat deep in her heart.

Her mother, the woman who occupied the most important position in her life, was like the softest yet toughest soft spot. The slightest touch could make her heartbroken.

She could rely on her strong will to ignore the threatening words of the Feather Clan and face life and death situations without fear. However, once her mother was involved, her courage and determination disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She knew very well that if she really went against the wishes of her family and the Feather Clan and did not choose to end her life, her mother would suffer endless suffering and humiliation. When she thought that her mother's gentle and loving face might be covered with tears because of her, and that she might be pointed at by everyone in the family because of her, her heart felt like it was being pierced by countless sharp needles.

After a long time, Qin Xianglan slowly raised her head, her eyes full of despair and sadness, and she said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Forget it, I promise you, I will commit suicide!" These words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and every word that came out of her mouth seemed to tear her soul apart.

As soon as she finished speaking, her right hand rose high like lightning and slapped her forehead without hesitation.

The action was resolute and decisive, as if to put an end to all the pain and helplessness in the world. Just when her palm was about to hit her forehead hard, a strong hand reached out like a ghost and firmly grasped her wrist.

The person who took action was Ling Xiao.

Qin Xianglan turned around in astonishment and looked at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. "Why are you stopping me?" There was a hint of anger in her voice, as if she was questioning why Ling Xiao wanted to break her last chance of liberation.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking sneer, but in that smile there was a barely perceptible concern.

"Don't forget, the whole world thinks you are my woman now. If you die, wouldn't it make me look incompetent?" His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the quiet forest. "If I don't let you die, no one can kill you, including yourself."

Before he finished speaking, two dazzling rays of light suddenly shot out from Ling Xiao's eyes, like two bright meteors, and shot straight into Qin Xianglan's forehead. The light carried a mysterious and powerful force, as if it contained endless vitality and hope.

Qin Xianglan was stunned, and was completely stunned by this sudden scene. When the two rays of light entered her forehead, she clearly felt a strange power spreading rapidly in her body.

She instantly realized that it would be difficult for her to die now.

Unless Ling Xiao changed this mysterious command, or the two rays of light in her body were completely removed, once she encountered a life-or-death emergency, her body would involuntarily obey that command and fight to survive. As for suicide, it was out of her control.

"Why are you doing this?" Qin Xianglan stared at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of confusion and her brows tightly furrowed, as if an unsolved mystery was lingering in her heart.

She tilted her head slightly, her voice trembling with a hint of confusion, "Shouldn't I be just a shield to stop the Qin family from dealing with you? Now that I'm in such a desperate situation, I'm no longer of any use to you. Why are you still trying every possible way to stop me from dying?"

Her voice echoed in the quiet forest, revealing endless confusion and despair, as if she was questioning her fate. (End of this chapter)
