Chapter 116: The Secret Hidden for Many Years
Shu Wanwan gritted her teeth, concentrated her mind, and further urged her magic power. The light of the peach wood sword became more and more dazzling, and a fierce confrontation began with the black energy.
When the stalemate reached a critical juncture, Shu Wanwan shouted, "Break!" The peach wood sword shot out a sharp sword energy and slashed straight towards the photo.
With a loud bang, the photo exploded, breaking into countless fragments that scattered across the ground. At the same time, a cloud of black mist broke free from it and rushed straight towards Shu Wanwan.
Shu Wanwan dodged quickly, but the black mist followed her like a shadow, tightly entangling her. As the black mist drew closer, beads of sweat formed on Shu Wanwan's forehead. She secretly groaned, thinking that the black mist was even more powerful than she had imagined.
As the photo shattered, not only did black fog appear, but another person also appeared!!
Chen Shuishui!!
"Bai Xuan, take good care of her!" Shu Wanwan shouted as she handed Chen Shuishui, who had been freed from the seal of the photo, to Bai Xuan.
Meanwhile, Shu Wanwan continued to battle the mysterious black energy. She moved nimbly through it, sometimes swinging her sword fiercely, sometimes dodging sideways. Her eyes were focused, as if she were facing a life-or-death struggle.
Bai Xuan held Chen Shuishui tightly as he watched everything unfold before his eyes. He was filled with worry, but he also knew that now was not the time to question her. He decided to protect Chen Shuishui first and wait for the right moment to learn the truth.
Suddenly, a pair of black claws emerged from the black mist, aiming straight for Shu Wanwan's throat. Shu Wanwan nimbly dodged the attack, wielding the peach wood sword. A flash of light arced through the black mist, slashing towards it.
However, this attack did not cause much damage to the black fog, but instead made it even more enraged. The black fog roared and continuously released powerful force, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted.
Shu Wanwan panted, feeling her spiritual power rapidly depleting, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. She knew that if she showed weakness, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, Chen Shuishui in Bai Xuan's arms seemed to have regained some consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.
Seeing her daughter wake up, Su Zhiqiu was overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes. She rushed over, hugged Chen Shuishui, and asked in a trembling voice, "Shuishui, are you okay? Shuishui..."
However, at this moment, the black energy reappeared. It seemed to have lost interest in Shu Wanwan and turned its attention to Su Zhiqiu. Su Zhiqiu sensed the danger and trembled slightly, but she did not retreat. Instead, she hugged Chen Shuishui tightly and protected her.
Seeing Su Zhiqiu going crazy, the black energy turned and attacked her. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, ready to devour the mother and daughter in front of it.
"Be careful!!" Bai Xuan was shocked when he saw the black aura suddenly change direction and rush towards Su Zhiqiu, and shouted hurriedly.
At the same time, he quickly stood up from the ground, trying to stop the black energy's attack. However, the black energy was extremely fast and arrived in front of Su Zhiqiu almost instantly.
At this critical moment, Shu Wanwan quickly seized this rare opportunity.
"good chance!!"
She held the peach wood sword in her hand and stabbed it towards the core of the black energy without hesitation. With a crisp sound, the peach wood sword accurately pierced the core of the black energy and completely defeated it.
As the black energy dissipated, the room suddenly became quiet. Shu Wanwan adjusted her breathing and leaned tiredly against the wall. Her gaze fell on Su Zhiqiu and Chen Shuishui, her eyes filled with coldness.
"Are you okay?" Shu Wanwan's voice was clear and her breathing had returned to normal.
Su Zhiqiu hugged Chen Shuishui tightly and shook her head, "Thank you, Miss Shu. If it weren't for you, we..."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Shu Wanwan forced a smile. "However, Miss Chen, we still have something to ask you."
Bai Xuan walked to Shu Wanwan and whispered, "Why don't we let them rest for a while."
Shu Wanwan frowned slightly, lost in thought. She recalled the scene she had seen in the photo, Chen Shuishui's sudden disappearance, the villa, and the man in the photo. Everything was hidden, and she couldn't figure it out, and her heart was even more anxious.
"Is Miss Chen your child with Chen Yuan?" Shu Wanwan looked at Su Zhiqiu.
Su Zhiqiu's expression changed. She looked down at Chen Shuishui and after a moment's silence, she finally spoke, "Ms. Shu, I can't hide anything from you. Can I wait for a moment to rest before I discuss this with you in detail?"
Shu Wanwan nodded, "Okay, then you guys take a rest first. I'll wait for you outside." After that, she walked out of the room, leaving Bai Xuan and Su Zhiqiu, mother and daughter, inside.
Bai Xuan looked at Su Zhiqiu and asked softly, "Let me help her heal."
As he spoke, Bai Xuan sat down next to Chen Shuishui, used his spiritual power, and gave Chen Shuishui some simple treatment.
"She should be fine now. If you need anything, you can call me anytime. I'm leaving now."
Su Zhiqiu looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you. Please go out. I want to be alone with Shui Shui for a while."
Bai Xuan quietly left the room and closed the door.
Shu Wanwan sat down in the living room, closed her eyes, and recalled the battle. What was that black energy? Why was it haunting Chen Shuishui? She felt as if she had touched upon a huge secret, but the clues were vague, making it difficult for her to grasp.
After a while, Su Zhiqiu and Chen Shuishui came out. Shu Wanwan raised her head and looked at them with a serious expression on her face.
It seems that Su Zhiqiu has already told Chen Shuishui about her life experience.
"Ms. Shu, thank you for saving me and my mother." Chen Shuishui walked up to Shu Wanwan and said sincerely.
When Shu Wanwan heard Chen Shuishui say this, she became less serious and smiled. "You're welcome, Miss Chen. However, I'd like to ask you to help me answer something I want to know."
Chen Shuishui nodded, and was interrupted by Su Zhiqiu just as she was about to speak.
"Let me talk first." Su Zhiqiu sat next to Chen Shuishui and watched Shu Wanwan prepare to tell the secret she had hidden for many years. Then she looked at Chen Shuishui again, and Chen Shuishui nodded, as if giving her courage.
"Actually, Shui Shui is not the daughter of my deceased husband. She is the daughter of me and someone else. It's all too difficult to talk about, so I have hidden it for so many years. But now that things have come to this, many things were caused by me, and I decided to say it out." Su Zhiqiu seemed to have made a great decision and said a lot of words in one breath.
