I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 741 I heard that I would never see ashes after death

Xiaoyang and Guagua are the names given by Wan Xiaohao to the two children among the demonized people.

Originally, these transformed humans sent to Li Jingsheng were consumables for experiments. The monsters in the inner garden would not care about them. Their minds had been damaged by various forms of demonization. Without anyone to teach them, they would not give themselves names, and were not much different from uncivilized beasts.

Especially the children among them.

Most of the children who appear in the Inner Garden are the offspring of the Inner Garden's transformed humans and monsters. They are born in the Inner Garden environment since childhood and are more miserable than those sent in from the Outer Garden.

Wan Xiaohao named the two children based on their appearance characteristics.

Xiaoyang is a demon boy with goat horns on his head, while Guagua is a girl who can't even speak clearly and every word he speaks is accompanied by a few quacking sounds.

The two children were very young and had been suffering from demonization for a long time. They were born pale and thin and had difficulty walking. When they were sent here, they couldn't even walk on their own feet and still crawled on all fours like animals.

Wan Xiaohao felt sympathy for them when he first saw them. He treated them more carefully and attentively than others and spent more time teaching them.

Lu Fu saw it all, but neither supported nor dissuaded him.

Xiaoyang and Guagua's health is becoming more and more stable under Master Li's treatment. Thanks to Wan Xiaohao's efforts, they can also speak simple human language and stand and move around in their daily lives. Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

The absence of Xiaoyang and Guagua today was like a basin of ice water poured over Wan Xiaohao from head to toe, shattering his overly idealistic delusions in his heart.

"Sister, do you know where they are going?" Wan Xiaohao asked in a dry voice.

Lu Fu didn't say anything.

Wan Xiaohao stared at her without giving up.

Lu Fu looked at him calmly.

The two looked at each other for a while, and it was Wan Xiaohao who couldn't hold on any longer and smiled awkwardly.

Lu Fu was so familiar with his expression, it was as if she was looking at her past self.

"Don't bother Master Li with these questions." Lu Fu warned Wan Xiaohao.

Wan Xiaohao was speechless, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior Sister is too perceptive."

There was indeed a fire burning in his heart, which stimulated him to go find Li Jingsheng to ask him. He also delusionally hoped that he could learn from Li Jingsheng that Xiaoyang and Guagua were alive and well.

How is this possible?

There were quite a few demonized people who died at the hands of Li Jingsheng in the inner garden, and this was not the first time he had seen it. In the past, he did not feel as much as this time. It might be because he did not have a deep connection with those demonized people before. This time, Xiaoyang and Guagua were unconsciously regarded by him as his younger brothers and sisters.

Wan Xiaohao still couldn't let it go, and Lu Fu was the only one around him to confide in. He couldn't help but ask Lu Fu, "Senior Sister, aren't you sad at all?"

Lu Fu said calmly: "What's the use of being sad."

Wan Xiaohao said: "At least we can determine where they are going instead of just guessing like this."

Lu Fu stopped and said to Wan Xiaohao, "There are some things in the inner garden that everyone knows the answers to, but no one talks about them. Why do you think that is?"

"Why?" Wan Xiaohao asked stubbornly.

Lu Fu said, "Come with me."

The garbage dump in the inner garden.

A place specifically used to deal with dead demonized people.

Occasionally you can see people coming and going here carrying crude baskets.

Lu Fu brought Wan Xiaohao here and met several people on the way.

Those people recognized Lu Fu and would stop and say hello to her.

In terms of star level cultivation, the re-cultivated Lu Fu is lower than all of them, but as an inner disciple of Li Jingsheng, Lu Fu's treatment in the inner garden is much better than many people, and other disciples have to treat her with courtesy when they see her.

"Afu, are you showing the newbies the way?" The female cultivator who asked the question had a good relationship with Lu Fu. They had communicated with each other several times in the past, so she was more casual when talking to Lu Fu.

As she spoke, she looked at Wan Xiaohao several times, gazing at his worth, with some calculation in her eyes.

If it were the usual Wan Xiaohao, he would definitely greet her cheerfully, but he was in such a depressed mood at the moment that he couldn't do it, especially when he saw the blood-stained basket on the female cultivator's shoulder.

Although the dead can be put into the Ruyi Bag, which makes it easier to clean up, Neiyuan prefers to use the most traditional and crude way to deal with the dead. The female cultivator said, "If Master Li needs someone to deal with the waste, Afu can call me. I am familiar with it anyway. I think this newcomer doesn't seem to be very happy to do this job. Instead of teaching him slowly, why not let me do it?"

Wan Xiaohao's eyebrows jumped, and he said with a smile: "Fairy, you are joking. I am not unwilling. I was just taking note of Senior Sister's teachings. Besides, I am not a newcomer. I have been with Master Li in the garden for several months. I worked with Master Li before, and I just came here today to get familiar with the place."

The female cultivator looked at him differently after hearing what he said, especially when Lu Fu did not refute. She was sure that Wan Xiaohao was really with Li Jingsheng, and her attitude changed drastically from before. "I see, I am shortsighted and have delayed you for so long. It would be bad if it ruined Master Li's plan. I will leave first. Feel free to contact me if you need any help in the future."

Wan Xiaohao watched the female cultivator leave in a hurry, and the smile on his face faded again.

Lu Fu asked him, "Do you still want to go and see it?"

Wan Xiaohao nodded, "I'm here now. Besides..." After a pause, Wan Xiaohao continued, "That senior sister is right. Someone has to do this kind of thing in the future. In the past, it might have been my senior sister who took charge. Now that I'm here, I should take over."

After returning from the Neiyuan garbage dump, Wan Xiaohao was very quiet for several days. He looked at Lu Fu with complicated eyes and seemed to be hesitant to speak to her many times.

He wanted to ask Lu Fu how she felt when she dealt with the "garbage" in the past, but he always swallowed the words back before he could ask, thinking that it was meaningless to ask this question.

What's the point of asking? No matter what answer you get, it won't change your life, it will just add to your troubles and pain.

After several days of psychological preparation, he was once again tasked with sending a demonized person to Li Jingsheng's laboratory. However, he was not qualified to assist like Lu Fu, so he could only wait outside.

They waited for most of the day until Lu Fu brought people out.

Wan Xiaohao quickly glanced at the demonized man. He had developed a keen eye during this period of time. In addition, he was also being used as a test subject by Li Jingsheng, so he had some understanding of the good and bad conditions of the demonized man.

The demonized person is getting better now, and the area where he collapsed before has become much smaller.

Wan Xiaohao's expression changed too obviously. Lu Fu frowned, handed the demonized man to him, and whispered, "I thought you would have improved after what happened last time."

Wan Xiaohao took over and asked, "What do you mean, Senior Sister?"

Lu Fu said: "Don't inject too much personal feelings into them."

Wan Xiaohao said: "I know. I'm just happy that Master Li has made another breakthrough in his alchemy skills."

Lu Fu said nothing more.

The following days passed uneventfully. Resources and monsters were continuously sent into Li Jingsheng's laboratory, and the loss and recovery of monsters were almost equal in half.

Even so, the number of demonized people in the inner garden is still decreasing significantly, because Li Jingsheng's research on demonized people has almost reached a state of madness. As time goes by, he becomes more and more obsessed, and even his own cultivation is put aside. He has never entered the Holy Spirit Realm again. Almost 90% of the demonized people in the entire inner garden are taken up by him. The remaining individual alchemists recruited by the inner garden were excluded from this research field and used to refine beast pills.

The other alchemists in the Inner Garden did have complaints about this, but they could not help but feel that they were not as strong or talented as Li Jingsheng. With the same number of demonized human resources and research time, all they got was loss, while Li Jingsheng produced tangible results. It was no wonder that the demons in the Inner Garden repeatedly tilted the balance towards Li Jingsheng.

——There are only so many research materials. Instead of giving them to a bunch of useless people who can't produce any practical results, it's better to give them all to the one person who can make a difference.

The thoughts of monsters are sometimes so simple and crude. In some ways, they are easier to understand and cooperate with than humans.

Of course, no matter how easy they are to talk to now, they will turn against you quickly after the thing is done. There is no such thing as moral ethics among them.

West Garden.

Wan Xiaohao buried the dead demon in the prepared land and erected a stone tablet with only the date on it.

There are some similar earthen tombs around this stone tomb.

These were the graves dug out by him personally, and the stone tablets erected for the other party by him personally.

Wan Xiaohao didn't know whether Li Jingsheng knew what he had done. It was likely that he didn't know. Master Li rarely came to Xiyuan in person, and even if he did, he had never been to this area.

As for the others who knew about it, they did not go to Master Li to complain, and he was not punished for it, nor was he required to throw the dead monster into the garbage dump.

All these privileges are due to Master Li's ability. As long as they do not affect the monster clan itself, people from Master Li's faction have a high degree of freedom in the Inner Garden.

Wan Xiaohao thought, no wonder the female cultivator even wanted to fight for the job of "taking out the trash" for Master Li. Who in the inner garden doesn't want to become Master Li's disciple now? It's not just a matter of power and position, but also having Master Li escorting him on the path of the demon veins, not to mention how safe it is.

  Senior Sister Lu is now a living signboard!

Oh, including himself.

Wan Xiaohao thought about it in a way that made him feel happy despite the misery, while he bowed to the new grave in front of him and then looked at the other tombstones.

After careful counting, there are not many tombstones in this cemetery, accounting for less than one-tenth of the demonized people lost by Master Li. As for where the other demonized people went, Wan Xiaohao has learned not to ask or think about it, because the answer is definitely not what he wants to hear.

——At least the demonized people underground in front of him still have a complete body, a resting place and a tombstone for their afterlife, and the place he chose will not be ravaged by monsters and beasts, so he will not be disturbed from his sleep by some monsters and dug out from the ground to eat.

Those missing monsters? They must have died without leaving any ashes.
