The aunt did not hold back; she recounted the encounters in Huangshui Village in full detail.
The girls in Huangshui Village were all born with great beauty, and the circumstances leading up to their plight were much as the old woman had described. At first, everyone thought the old woman was a kind soul because she guarded the Ancestral Hall and would often stand up for them or offer advice. They had thought they were escaping their suffering, but they soon realized her grandson was an even greater devil.
He didn't just bring outsiders in to select girls—under the guise of matchmaking—he also enslaved the honest, simple-minded villagers, forcing them to work for him. He even associated with those who practiced crooked and evil arts. If some villagers died while resisting, he wouldn't even spare their souls. It was the first time they had ever heard that even human souls could be sold. Those people specifically sought out the souls of individuals who had died with immense Resentment.
