After I committed myself to the yandere villain, the male protagonist turned evil

A bright green light leaped out from Shen Niannian's fingertips.

Her body began to become like a whirlpool, attracting countless dark red souls.

Those souls were extremely small, and when some of them were sucked into the vortex, they began to struggle to escape.

The other part, however, was docile and obedient, flying towards the whirlpool.

The vortex expanded little by little, and the spiritual power around Shen Niannian gradually merged her with those souls.

Between that piece of heaven and earth, the sound of a baby crying began to be heard, making the entire silent wilderness become eerie and terrifying.

Then, one after another, the bodies of the babies gradually grew larger, and the dark red souls gathered together.

Shen Niannian used her own warm wood spirit to soothe some restless Yin spirits, and they began to calm down. However, the remaining Yin spirits that still wanted to attack her out of panic were tightly entangled by Lu Wenyan's spiritual energy.

At this moment, the breath of the evil spirit gradually stabilized.

Then, a white light flashed.

The souls of Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan were immediately sucked into the memories of countless evil spirits.

There was a vast expanse of white all around, and there seemed to be gurgling water. They felt as if they were placed in an underwater world, and the sounds in their ears seemed unreal.

As the aperture gradually disappeared, they could finally see the real scene.

"It's a girl."

"What's the use of a girl?"

The man's voice was unpredictable, as if it was coming from countless men.

But they all say the same words, and they say them in the same tone.

"Just give birth to a boy next year."

There was another sigh, but this sigh came from a woman.

She said, "I heard that the water in the Seeking Child Pond is very effective. As long as I complete the memorial ceremony, I will definitely give birth to a big fat boy next year."

As the woman's voice fell, their vision gradually shook.

Soon, they saw the so-called Pond for Praying for Children.

Qiuzi Pond is nothing more than a turbid pool of water with no visible bottom.

Countless baby girls' lives were lost there, and the resentment is deep-rooted. One can feel the chilliness just by getting a little closer.

But with a "plop" sound, one baby girl after another was thrown into the pool.

The baby's shrill cry echoed throughout the area.

The dazzling light broke through the clouds, and it should have been a warm and gentle winter day, but it made people feel cold to the bone.

Time flies.

Over the past few decades, countless baby girls have been thrown into the pond. But can the families whose baby girls were actually drowned really give birth to baby boys next year?
No one seems to care about the answer.

If a baby boy is really born next year, they will come to "fulfill their vow" and spread the word of the efficacy of the pond.

And if they cannot give birth to a baby boy, they will comfort themselves by saying that the drowned baby girl could not be liked by the fairy of Qiuzitan, which is why the parents are implicated.

It is so ridiculous that a baby girl who was drowned at birth was finally charged with the crime of "unfilial piety".

Such outrageous things have been happening almost without interruption for decades.

Until that day, Xiao Jue, the former head of the Xiao family, came to Lingxiang Town.

Continuous flooding has submerged farmland. During the process of management, Xiao Jue discovered this so-called Child-Seeking Pond.

He was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. The rain was pouring down his high eyebrows and nose.

He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, as bright as the moonlight, which was completely different from Xiao Yu's feminine appearance.

Xiao Jue's eyes were filled with awe and compassion.

He looked at the Qiuzi Pond and asked someone to investigate the pond.

After a whole hour, when his men reported the whole cause and effect, he let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with emotion and pity.

After that, he began to have people salvage the remains of babies. There were thousands of them, some had already decayed, and some were in pieces.

The scene left everyone speechless. "Bury them all." Xiao Yu's voice was as gentle as spring flowers, and it was calm and soothing.

"Master, I can't do that! I can't do that!"

At this time, the steward of the Xiao family came hurriedly with a letter from home.

Xiao Jue did not hesitate and signaled his men to take action.

The steward hurriedly took out the family letter and handed it to Xiao Jue: "Master, take a look at the old lady's letter!"

Xiao Jue opened the letter, and as his gaze moved downwards, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

His fingertips trembled, his lips moved, and suddenly his eyes turned red and he smiled.

The manager was too quiet to say a word.

But Xiao Jue said, "Please invite some Taoist priests to pray for the souls of these babies. As for the rest..."

He looked at the other group of his men with deep eyes and said in a loud voice: "Fill up this pool!"

Filling the pond with soil is a huge project.

But Xiao Jue did it resolutely.

It took a full half month to fill up the pool.

There were some villagers causing trouble during this period, but they were all suppressed by Xiao Jue's thundering means.

These villagers are ignorant and afraid of trouble. In addition, the effectiveness of the Qiuzitan Pond in praying for children has been questioned by most people over the years.

Thus, the matter was suppressed silently.

But what Xiao Jue has to face is more than that.

An infant was thus saved, and before leaving the world of the living, he planned to see Xiao Jue again.

To them, this man, who was a complete stranger to them, was the only person in the world who was kind to them.

But what they couldn't accept was that the Xiao Family Incense Shop could not produce tribute incense because it had lost the "holy water" in the pond.

The emperor has become increasingly dependent on the Xiao family's tribute incense over the years. When the Xiao family was unable to produce tribute incense, he took his anger out on Xiao Jue.

It is a pity that this man of extraordinary talent and great love was demoted and brought disaster upon himself.

In the 21st year of Tianyuan, Xiao Jue, the head of the Xiao family, was imprisoned. Later, his political enemies falsely accused him of favoritism and corruption and listed several crimes.

The emperor was furious and sentenced Xiao Jue to death.

He was beheaded in public in the autumn of that year.

Because Xiao Jue took all the blame, the Xiao family was able to be saved.

But from then on, the Xiao family could no longer produce tribute incense.

While Xiao Jue was in prison, his mother went to the prison to see him.

At that time, the old lady of the Xiao family had already turned gray and looked like a dead tree.

She was an old lady with bound feet. She had a calm look and a scholarly air.

Shen Niannian seemed to see Li Jiao's figure at that moment.

When Old Lady Xiao saw Xiao Jue, she did not scold him for acting without considering the consequences.

As early as when he gave the order to fill the pond, the old lady of the Xiao family knew that this day would come eventually.

She was just chatting with him about daily life, talking about the Xiao family's matter of leaving an heir.

According to the clan rules of the Xiao family, any male imprisoned, unless he has committed a crime and has no children, will have a girl chosen by his clan members to be his heir.

If a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a boy, he can inherit his father's family business.

If a woman gives birth to a girl, her father's family business will be taken over by a side branch.

Xiao Jue did not refuse. He knew that he had been selfish once, so he did not want to hurt his mother before he died.
