Chapter 1064: It’s All Just a Skin

Chu Xiaoran probably finally felt a little guilty because he treated Xia Xiaoman a lot better this time. He even cooked for Xia Xiaoman and fed her spoon by spoon.
Xia Xiaoman’s heart felt completely numb. She couldn’t name the emotions she felt.
After she recovered, she started working again, and as of now, she even had to piggyback her child while working since the child was now able to crawl around so leaving him at home was dangerous. Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoran sat at the gambling table all day and didn’t do anything.
Ning Shu felt that Chu Xiaoran’s current days were too comfortable, that must have been why he had the time to try and target her.
So she found someone to cut off one of Chu Xiaoran’s fingers. Chu Xiaoran’s pinky was cut off at the casino.
It must be said that in the past, Chu Xiaoran also ran an underground casino so he should know the ins-and-outs of how things worked very well. It was impossible to get rich from gambling. Chu Xiaoran probably knew the truth, but he needed some way to vent his depression. Furthermore, gambling was addictive. Once you strayed onto this road, it was hard to get off.
Chu Xiaoran was brought to the hospital. Xia Xiaoman did everything she could to try to gather enough money to reattach Chu Xiaoran’s finger, but it really cost too much. Xia Xiaoman couldn’t do anything about it.
For Chu Xiaoran’s sake, Xia Xiaoman set down her last bit of dignity and came to ask Ning Shu for help, but she was told that Ning Shu wasn’t here. Xia Xiaoman was extremely anxious as she waited at the door, but Ning Shu never came out.
At this time, Ning Shu had already gone to the countryside to spread law knowledge.
In the end, Chu Xiaoran’s finger wasn’t reattached and so he officially became a member of the disabled. When Chu Xiaoran found out that he had lost his finger, he was naturally furious. He vented all his emotions on Xia Xiaoman and beat her until she was sent to the hospital again. Both husband and wife were lying in the hospital, neither of them had money, so they were kicked out the next day. In the end, the two injured had no choice but to mutually support each other home.
When Ning Shu found out about this, she just smiled faintly. Helping each other like this also counted as true love, no?
“Ding, leave the world? Yes/No.” 2333’s voice appeared in Ning Shu’s mind.
“Yes.” She had already stayed in this world for a long time. It had almost been five years. It was actually her first time staying in a world this long, so she had to leave.
Furthermore, Mother Xu was very irritable these days since her son wasn’t getting married and was barely ever home. Whenever she wanted him to have a blind date, he’d run super far away. He’d be in this city one day, then off to some mountain the next.
Mother Xu was already irritable due to menopause, so the matter of her son’s marriage just made her more irritable.
Ning Shu really didn’t know what to do with Mother Xu. It was best to leave these matters for the original host to come back and deal with.
Ning Shu felt a burst of dizziness and when she opened her eyes, she was already back in the system space. Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered to do anything but lie down on the bed and sleep. This task had seriously been too tiring. It had been so hard to fight against Chu Xiaoran who was rich and influential.
After finally sleeping her fill, when she woke up, she saw that her soul was a bit dim. It was clear that she had stayed in the task world a bit too long and suffered damage.
Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the ground and started cultivating. Once she finished absorbing everything, she stretched, then asked 2333, “Why did I become a man again this time? Didn’t you say that you already repaired your system last time?”
“...Why are you always so hung up on this? Male or female, it’s all just a skin. It’s all fabricated. What need is there to be this conflicted over it?” replied 2333 in an annoyed tone.
Ning Shu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
So I’m in the wrong!?
