Chapter 11: A Strange Mark

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Shen Gang saw his daughter, Shen Wan, standing in front of him in an aggressive manner, loudly telling him that she would take care of him when he was old and send him off to his death, Shen Gang inexplicably felt that every word this girl said was not a joke and was the truth.

As long as he took care of the family well, lead a good life with his wife and daughters, and treated them well, his daughters would be filial to him when he was old and take care of him in his old age. There was no problem!

The heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. Shen Gang’s attitude became more and more energetic as if he was overjoyed. He smoked and repeated subconsciously, “Okay, okay, I have a daughter to take care of me when I’m old, I have a daughter that will…”

“I’ve already said that our four daughters are all smart, sensible, filial, and well-behaved children. They’re not worse than other families’ sons. Ever since you lost your job, all of the family’s expenses have been paid for by Shen Xin and Shen Yu, who have been working diligently outside. A few days ago, they even called to ask about your situation and asked you to take care of your legs. Isn’t this much better than those wolves, tigers, and leopards who only know how to ask for money and cheat people? You have good daughters and you don’t cherish them…”

Deng Ying had been holding this in for the longest time. Now that Shen Gang had let go of his obsession, she could not hold back her tears anymore. She sobbed while she spoke as if she wanted to pour out all the hardships in her life.

Shen Gang listened silently and nodded from time to time to show his agreement. When Deng Ying finally finished what she wanted to say, Shen Gang coughed to clear his throat and said seriously, “Deng Ying, I finally see that I’ve been living the past forty years of my life in a muddled and disgraceful way. From today onwards, I’m going to live well for our family…”

Far away from the scene of the small courtyard where they were sharing their thoughts, Shen Wan carried a bamboo basket, a sickle, and a hemp rope and left the house.

After eating a few meals without any meat, Shen Wan was already craving meat. She and Shen Miao were both in the period of growth and if they did not have enough nutrition, it would affect the development of the body. She had to think of ways to get some meat to eat.

Although every family in the countryside would raise some chickens, ducks, pigs, and so on to provide for their daily meat, their family originally raised two sows, but before the pigs could grow up, they were taken away by Grandma Shen. Therefore, they could only rely on themselves to take what they can get.

Shen Wan’s destination was the mountain behind the village. She was extremely strong and had magic, so it would not be a problem for her to hunt some prey and bring it home.

Just as she was thinking this, Shen Wan seemed to see a white figure in the nearby thicket, as if it was… A rabbit?

Rabbit meat for dinner was not bad. Shen Wan did not have any tools with her, so she tried to use magic to attack the rabbit.

However, when she was casting the spell, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her chest, as if there was a thin layer of obstruction. Although she could cast the spell smoothly, she always felt that she was bound by a layer of restraint.

Shen Wan did not take it to heart. She thought that this was a normal physical reaction in this place where the magic aura was thin. When she once again circulated her magic to attack the rabbit that was about to run far away, she felt her body become light as she dazzled brightly.

Her feet suddenly stepped on soft grass, not the sticky mud road of the small village. Looking at the sudden change in the surrounding scenery, Shen Wan was first dazed and then looked around.

There was a lush forest and bamboo forest beside her, and there were tall mountains in the distance. After a closer look, there were also birds and beasts. It was like a small world, and the magic power here was also extremely abundant.

Where was she now?

Shen Wan was greatly shocked. If she used her magic and actually returned to the wondrous world, she would really regret it to death!

This sudden change frightened Shen Wan so much that she quickly mimicked her previous actions and started to channel her magic again. Fortunately, the warm feeling in her chest once again produced a white light. She then once again returned to the place where she had seen the rabbit, but the rabbit had already run far away.

A light bulb went off in her head. Could it be that there was something on her chest that could teleport her to places?

Shen Wan took off a few of her clothes and was instantly shocked.

She saw a strange green mark on her fair chest! Shen Wan focused her eyes. When had someone drawn a vivid spring water on her chest?
