"Will you treat her well?"

The woman adjusted her torn clothes and looked up at me.

"Sister..."

Deer Spirit behind me called softly.

"I will."

"I will treat her well. I promised her."

I nodded and repeated once again.

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled sadly.

She picked up the dagger thrown in front of her and stabbed herself.

"In this world, there is karmic retribution. If you mistreat her..."

"Your fate will be even worse than mine!"

These were her final words, and after that, came the sound of Deer Spirit's mournful cries...

"Karmic retribution... karmic retribution..."

I murmured softly, turning my gaze towards the outside of the house.

The mountains and rivers were like a purgatory, and all of humanity was in anguish.

Where does this supposed karmic retribution come from?

Does karmic retribution truly exist in this world?

"Disciple, once you're done, it's time to leave."

The old Taoist swept his dusting cloth and entered the room.

I looked closely and although he had lost his eyes, it was easy to see from his radiant appearance that his cultivation had improved significantly.

Such rapid progress, it's as if he has divine assistance!
