Mu Yunchu’s expression changed slightly, but unexpectedly, she didn’t stop the other party’s actions.
Instead, she quietly waited for her to continue speaking.
"I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, so... could you please help the Li Family get revenge?"
Perhaps she had reached a dead end, with only this one way out.
Because even if she ultimately chose to remain in this world, Mu Yunchu wouldn’t give her that opportunity.
She was very aware of the difference in power between the two.
"You’re asking for help?"
Mu Yunchu knew her obsession ran deep, but didn’t expect her to entrust this to her.
Instead of directly responding to the request, she said, "I cannot harm ordinary people."
Even if that person had committed heinous acts in their past life, fate and retribution awaited them; it shouldn’t be Mu Yunchu who ends their life or delivers punishnt.
The hopeful light in the wet nurse’s eyes extinguished in an instant.
They were filled with unwillingness.
Was she destined to take her regrets to the underworld for reincarnation?
If the master and mistress had not yet reincarnated, eting them down there would be worse than having her soul scatter.
While she was in a daze, Mu Yunchu sighed lightly above her.
"Sigh..."
"But I do have another way?"
She had co up with this after calming down recently.
"But first, I need to find soone."
She supposed it could be called a ’person.’
Last ti King Yama visited, before leaving, he told her how to contact him actively if needed.
She lit a talisman, and deep blue smoke curled upward; although there was no wind in the room, it turned in a circle before rising.
Soon, it was as if a seam had been torn in the void, and King Yan and the Judge appeared in the room out of nowhere.
Perhaps because he was suddenly summoned here without any warning, King Yan rubbed his eyes wearily.
"I wondered who was calling ."
Seeing that it was Mu Yunchu, his temper eased sowhat.
"What’s the matter?"
"Are you here to tell the mission is completed?"
He didn’t think Mu Yunchu sought him out just for conversation.
Their contact seed to be about the matter of finding soone for Mu Yunchu the last ti.
After King Yan finished speaking, he suddenly realized there was soone else in the room, and his gaze shifted slightly to the wet nurse, whom Mu Yunchu had helped onto a chair beside her.
Just one look, and the latter was almost scared into falling to the ground again.
"The person you found for isn’t her, is it?"
He could sll a special scent from the person before him.
As he spoke, he tried to get closer to see more clearly.
The wet nurse was almost scared enough to turn and run, but fortunately, Mu Yunchu stepped in front of her at the critical mont.
"Wait a mont."
Seeing soone daring to block him, King Yan’s gaze turned cold, even if that person was Mu Yunchu.
However, that was all.
He was more curious about Mu Yunchu’s reason for doing this, so his inquisitive gaze shifted from the wet nurse to Mu Yunchu.
He waited leisurely for Mu Yunchu to give him an explanation.
"The reason she has not died is because she consud Tai Sui."
King Yan heard this and scrutinized the wet nurse closely.
He had always known about this matter.
In truth, there were many thods rumored among humanity that could extend life or grant immortality.
If they didn’t interfere with the underworld’s affairs, he would turn a blind eye.
Of course, a large part of that was because they did not have enough capable personnel.
But now, it was different.
Mu Yunchu had tracked down the person, and as long as she lived in this world, she was a disgrace to the underworld.
If he let her go now, it would be hard to justify.
Unless Mu Yunchu could provide a legitimate reason.
"She died hundreds of years ago."
Before he finished speaking, the Judge continued to recount the wet nurse’s life story, including when she was born, when she died, her natural lifespan, and so on.
He knew this perfectly well.
"So, what are you trying to say?" King Yan withdrew his gaze after listening to the Judge.
"Since you know her life story, you should understand that such a person would have had no chance of knowing about Tai Sui at."
Moreover, even if she had known, she wouldn’t have had ti to prepare it for herself.
King Yan made no further interjections.
"According to so of her speculations, the Tai Sui at was likely fed to her by soone."
Mu Yunchu had so guesses about this person’s identity. The person involved, besides needing the wet nurse to do sothing for them, had to match the scenario where only the wet nurse could do it.
But the problem was, since she was ’revived,’ no one had contacted her to do anything.
So, Mu Yunchu leaned towards another possibility, that soone who shared a very close relationship saved the wet nurse this way.
Mu Yunchu’s words were sothing the wet nurse had never heard before.
As she spoke, the latter was left stunned, searching her mind for soone who matched Mu Yunchu’s description.
Her parents died early, and her husband was that kind of person; logically, no one fit the scenario.
After joining the Li Family, it was even less likely, as although everyone treated her as family, the whole household was exterminated, so how could anyone have saved her?
So, after searching her mory, she couldn’t find such a person.
In the end, she could only look back at Mu Yunchu in confusion.
"You forgot soone."
"Your son."
The wet nurse’s eyes widened in shock.
"How could it be..."
Mu Yunchu interrupted, "Nothing is impossible."
Then she turned away from the wet nurse and looked towards King Yan, "Since that person could save her this way, they could also do it themselves."
King Yan remained silent.
This argunt didn’t seem to be a strong reason to convince him.
Until Mu Yunchu continued, "If it was just him, it would be fine, but how can you guarantee he won’t give it to soone else?"
King Yan stared at Mu Yunchu for a long ti before finally grimacing.
"So you just don’t want to touch her, do you?"
Mu Yunchu replied, "Because I want to use her to find the person who fed her Tai Sui at."
King Yan: "Alright."
He reluctantly agreed.
After all, upon closer inspection, this matter did him no harm.
"But I have a ti limit."
Otherwise, Mu Yunchu couldn’t just keep searching indefinitely.
There had to be a deadline.
King Yan thought for a mont, "Then one month."
"After a month, if you don’t have any results on your end, I will co to claim her life," he paused, then added, ’of course, you can do it yourself as well.’
Mu Yunchu neither agreed nor disagreed.
This was already quite reasonable.
Any longer, and she wouldn’t feel comfortable.
This was the best outco she could negotiate.
"Since we’re here, let tell you about the next task."
King Yan hadn’t forgotten that Mu Yunchu’s five senses hadn’t fully recovered yet.
