As I held this portrait of Zhong Kui, I thought that even if I wouldn't be able to keep these two 'Destruction of the Nether Realm' outside the door, it would at least have the effect of intimidating him and making him afraid of approaching the old lady's corpse.

Thus, I placed the portrait of Zhong Kui on the old lady's corpse with some confidence. The two 'Destruction' really did seem a little fearful at the start, and they quickly left the old lady's corpse. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel elated, thinking that even though my cultivation isn't high, I can use my intelligence to make up for it.

After flying away from the old granny's body, the two "Extinguishing Serenity" whirled around in midair, as if they were watching something, so I took this opportunity to wake up Director Wang and tell him and the two staff members to quickly move.

However, what I never expected to see was that just as the staff members stretched out their hands, the two "Extinguished ones" actually retracted their wings and once again firmly stopped on top of the old lady's corpse.

Naturally, the three of them were at their wit's end. In the end, they just looked at me in a daze. The suspicion in their eyes was self-evident.

Even if I was extremely thick-skinned, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I coughed lightly twice as I watched the two Annihilation Pills land on the old lady's corpse, then slowly climb up the edges of the portrait to Zhong Kui's face.

When I saw it, I immediately got angry. Was this a provocation?

However, there was nothing I could do about it. It seemed that the "scam" method had not worked in the end.

Seeing the two "Extinguishing Serenity" twirl around Zhong Kui's face and crawl towards his eyes, I felt a burning sensation on my face, as if someone had ruthlessly slapped me twice in the face.

"Master Ma, this … "Is that okay?" Director Wang was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still asked.

I looked at him and was speechless for a moment. However, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so I ignored him and stared at the two seemingly harmless Nether Limitless, waiting for a miracle to happen.

However, after looking at it for a while, there was no reaction at all. The portrait that I had spent so much effort to create was completely useless.

I sighed lightly. My heart felt like it had died. I was afraid that I would have to think of him differently.

Thus, I looked at Director Wang apologetically, and was about to say something.

At the same time, a strange gust of wind blew over, causing the portrait of Zhong Kui on the old lady's corpse to flutter. Moreover, as the paper shook, Zhong Kui's fiendish expression on the paper constantly changed, as if it was alive.

As for the two Apocalypse's on paper, they swayed with the shaking of the paper and fell to the ground after a few moments. One of the more daring staff members even stretched out his leg and was about to stomp Apocalypse to death.

When I saw this, I panicked and immediately shouted, "Don't step on him!"

The staff was stunned. The foot that he stepped on suddenly stopped. Then, he slowly pulled it back and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"This thing is unlucky, so just ignore it." I casually said, but in reality, seeing him like this, I was also shocked. This was no ordinary bug, stepping on it just like that.

"Quick, lift it." Seeing that the three of them are still in a daze, I reminded them in a low voice.

The old lady's body had returned to normal without the harassment from Annihilation. The three of them placed her in the empty ice coffin and headed straight for the funeral parlor.

To others, the funeral home was a very unlucky place, but to me, the funeral home had a special meaning.

It was just because that was the first place grandfather had shown me the unique methods of the Soul Painter, and was also the first step for me to officially enter this profession.

However, I didn't get off the car after arriving at the funeral home. Instead, I stayed in Director Wang's car and indifferently looked at the people walking around, feeling the grief and reluctance to part from them. I was even thinking, where is Grandfather right now?

After Director Wang completed the procedure for the cremation of his parents, he returned to the car and sat beside me. I didn't feel the slightest bit of grief from parting from his face, but instead, an even more relieved and relieved expression was plastered on his face.

He closed the window and turned on the air conditioner. Then, he took out an envelope from his pocket. It was filled with a thick envelope. Needless to say, it must be money.

"Master Ma, thank you for your hard work." The Director Wang smiled and handed the envelope over to me.

I nodded my head and didn't decline at all. After receiving the small amount of banknotes, I really felt a little excited in my heart.

10,000 yuan, this is the first barrel of gold I've found by myself.

However, since Director Wang kept on calling me master, then I would have to put on an act as a master. Thus, I stuffed the money into my pockets blandly, and without saying a word, I looked out of the carriage, waiting for him to finish his business and return home.

Director Wang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and sighed: "I promised you, when this is over I will tell you."

"Huh?" I didn't know what he meant.

However, Director Wang didn't look at me. Instead, he looked out of the carriage with his blurry eyes, pointed towards the chimney that was emitting thick smoke, and said: "Master Ma, look, isn't this the legendary Rising Sun?"

I smiled faintly and didn't deny it. I thought to myself, how could ascending the heavens be so simple?

"I suppose you're wondering why I'm doing this to my parents?" Director Wang smiled lightly and laid down on the back of the carriage. After that, he laid down in a relatively comfortable position and asked me in a low voice.

To be honest, I was a little curious about his attitude towards his parents, but I didn't care. I just needed to do my job.

Thus, he gave a light 'En', and didn't ask further, but Director Wang didn't care about this, and started speaking indifferently. I thought to myself that since there was nothing to do, I can just take it as a story, and thus didn't stop them.

"Although they are my parents, they are not my parents", however, the moment Director Wang opened his mouth, his first words made me confused.

So I asked him what he meant.

Director Wang laughed and asked instead of answering: "Master Ma, do you believe in retribution?"

How can I answer this question when I'm not even twenty years old? So I just smiled and didn't answer.

"Before I was ten years old, I thought that I was born in this small town. Although my parents weren't rich, they were still able to survive." Director Wang took a drag on his cigarette, and a faint smile hung on his face, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was a middle-aged man reminiscing the past. This immediately piqued me, causing me to become interested in what he was about to say, so I turned my head to look at him quietly.

"I remember when I was young, my daily task was just to beg on the streets." When I said this, Director Wang suddenly turned around and looked at me, "Did you know, when I was young, I was known to be a thief in this area."

It was hard to imagine the state of life of his time, so I asked him, "Everyone is poor, what is there to steal?"

"No, you're wrong. Other people's families are poor, but my family isn't." Hearing what I said, Director Wang's face suddenly revealed a thoughtful smile, and he gently waved his hand, "Every time I get caught stealing something, my father will beat me up in front of others."

When I heard this, I also faintly smiled. I thought to myself, "Whichever adult finds out that their child isn't angry after stealing something, it's definitely inevitable that they will be beaten up."

However, the smile on Director Wang's face suddenly disappeared as he looked straight at me and asked, "Did you know that I was forced to steal something?"

"Who is it?" I asked instinctively.

"My father." Director Wang coldly replied as a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes, "He forced me to steal something so that I could take it back home. Firstly, he beat me just for the sake of others to see.

Hearing this, I immediately took in a breath of cold air, thinking how could there be such a father, I couldn't help but doubt the words that Director Wang had said.

But at this moment, Director Wang pulled up his pants. I looked over and saw a half foot long light purple scar spreading on his leg, almost splitting it apart.

"This is the last time I stole something and was caught by someone. When they took me to my house, he was chopping wood, and upon hearing that I stole something, he threw an axe over without any hesitation. Luckily, I dodged quickly, otherwise, this axe would have hit my head."

When Director Wang said this, a faint smile surfaced on his face, as if he was talking about someone else's matters.

However, even I, who was a bystander, couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart when I heard that. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene that was.

When I was hungry, I went to look for food. When I was thirsty, I groped for something to drink, like a dog, "At this point, Director Wang extinguished his cigarette, fiercely opened the car window and threw it out. He then continued," Maybe it's my fate, but I actually made it out. "

"After I could walk, I chose to leave this so-called home. That year, I was exactly ten years old." Director Wang took out another cigarette and lit it up.

Looking at Director Wang's expression, I am already completely at a loss for words. It's really hard for me to imagine that the two people who just passed away were actually such heartless parents. I also don't understand why they would do such a thing.

So I asked him, "Why did they do this to you?"

Director Wang smiled lightly and shook his head, he seemed very lonely, and asked without answering: "Do you know how I survived afterwards?"

I shook my head.

I was saved by one person, she was in her twenties, beautiful and gentle, just like a mother. After she was saved, I felt like a person, "Director Wang's face revealed a strange expression, and continued to say:" She taught me how to read, and told me that stealing things was wrong, and even bought me new clothes. "

After saying that, the Director Wang suddenly stopped for a moment, turned around and looked at me, "You know, that was the happiest time of my life."

Looking at Director Wang's gentle smile and his clear eyes, I had already completely believed in his words. Because no matter what, this kind of blissful expression could not be faked.

At this time, Director Wang's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were red and evil, like a vicious beast that was about to swallow its prey, he gritted his teeth and said: "Unfortunately, everything happened again because of the two of them."
