Hua Miaomiao sat at the table, one hand on her chin and the other hand on the table, tapping the table rhythmically with her fingertips.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Ge Qinglan looked at Pi Fu, and Pi Fu turned to Xiu Zhu. Xiu Zhu sighed, found a place a little further away to sit down, and closed his eyes to rest.

Did he run away? Pi Fu smacked her lips. She looked back at Ge Qinglan and gestured to him to go and speak.

Hua Miaomiao slapped the table hard, startling several people. Even Xiuzhu opened his eyes and looked over.

"You still want to hide it from me? I'm blind, but I'm not stupid. You didn't tell me before, so I thought you had your own ideas, so I didn't ask. Now that it's come to this, do you think you can still hide it?"

Xiaoyu couldn't hold it in any longer. She knelt down in front of Hua Miaomiao and told her everything while crying. The more Hua Miaomiao listened, the more her brows furrowed.

"Miss, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I've caused you trouble."

Hua Miaomiao touched her hand and took her to sit beside her.

"Do you regret saving that child?"

"of course not!"

"You want to marry that Holy Son? Live here with him?"

"No. Xiaoyu will stay with the young lady for the rest of her life."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaowu's originally agitated heart calmed down.

"Since there is nothing to regret, what did you do wrong?"

Xiaoyu was confused by Hua Miaomiao's words. She felt that the young lady was right, but she also felt that something was wrong.

"But what do we do now?"

"Don't worry, your brother-in-law has a lot of treasures in his pocket. If they really fight, they may not be able to take advantage of him."

Ge Qinglan, who was named, felt his purse tighten. What should he do if his wife is too wasteful? However, it feels good to be relied on by Miaomiao.

Xiuzhu suddenly opened his eyes. He noticed someone approaching and walked back to everyone.

"Be careful, someone is coming."

After a while, a woman in wedding dress pushed the door open and walked in. It was Zi Yi, and she walked in carrying a food box.

"Are you hungry? It's still early for dinner. I brought some mountain dishes that you can't eat outside. Why don't you try them?"

Everyone remembered Wu Sang's warning and were indifferent to the food she brought. But out of politeness, Hua Miaomiao still thanked her.

"Since they are my sister's family, we are naturally one family." As she spoke, she walked towards Xiaoyu. Xiuzhu stepped forward and blocked her way.

Xiaoyu looked at her unhappily, "We are not a family."

"You and I are both the Son's wives, so how can we not be a family?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not! I have someone I like." As she said that, she ran to Zhao Xiaowu and grabbed his hand.

Zhao Xiaowu was secretly delighted. All along, Xiaoyu and he had been in an ambiguous state. Both of them seemed to have feelings for each other, but no one had broken the window paper.

He thought, since Xiaoyu was so brave, then as a man he couldn't do nothing. He held Xiaoyu's hand tightly, pulled her behind him, and completely blocked her.

"You really don't want to marry the Holy Son?"

Xiaoyu hid behind Zhao Xiaowu, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"I don't know him at all. Who wants to marry a stranger?"

Zi Yi seemed to believe it. She thought for a moment and then said to everyone, "I'll take you out."

"Why should we trust you?" Zhao Xiaowu asked warily.

"Because I don't want the Son to see her again. What woman would want to share her husband with another woman?"

This sentence sounded like the truth, but would she really disobey the high priest out of jealousy?

"Senior, when you women are jealous, can you really do anything?" Ge Qinglan asked Pi Fu quietly.

Pi Fu glared at him and said, "I've never liked anyone, how would I know?"

After being rejected, he turned to Hua Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, what about you?"

Hua Miaomiao shook her head. So far, the two of them had been living smoothly without any obstacles. So it was hard for her to imagine what she would choose if she met him.

"I don't know. Anyway, if you have someone else, I will stay away from you and never forgive you."

"I wouldn't." Ge Qinglan hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and his tone seemed a little aggrieved.

"Have you two shown enough? If you have, then leave."

In the end, Ge Qinglan and the others decided to follow Zi Yi. No matter what conspiracy she had, it was better than just sitting there and waiting to die.

Zi Yi led them through the scattered houses. Fortunately, everyone was celebrating in the square at that time, so they were not discovered.

After passing through a fog, they finally returned to the forest they came from. Not far ahead should be their carriage. Everything went too smoothly, which surprised Ge Qinglan and the others.

"It's getting late. I have to go back. I'll just drop you off here."

Xiaoyu felt a little sorry when she thought about her previous rudeness. Ziyi had always been nice to her, she just had no choice but to obey others. The high priest could put a curse on her, so there was no guarantee that he would not do something to Ziyi and the others, maybe he had already done it. When she thought about this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and held Ziyi's hand, "Sister Ziyi, that high priest is not a good person. You must be careful of him in the future."

Zi Yi looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"I'm leaving now, take care of yourself."

"Are you really determined to leave? What about the Gu in your body?"

Xiaoyu knew that she really cared about her, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, we will find a way to solve it when we return."

"You...be careful along the way."

In the end, Zi Yi still couldn't tell the truth. She watched Xiao Yu and the others walk forward.

Xiaoyu is a kind girl, but the high priest said that the gods were angry and someone had to be punished. If it wasn't the culprit, then only someone with a noble status like the "Son of God's new wife" could be punished to appease the gods' anger.

Ziyi didn't want to die. She had been with the Holy Son since she was a child. She had waited for so many years and finally got married to him as she wished. And Hongyi, they grew up together and were as close as sisters. She couldn't bear to let go either.

She stood in the middle of the road, clasped her hands together, and bowed deeply in the direction they were leaving.

"Did you really lead them to Cannibal Hill?"

With a roar, Wu Sang rushed over like an angry lion. He was already physically injured, and he ran as fast as he could when he came. At this moment, his breath was unstable and his face was pale.

Zi Yi looked at him worriedly and tried to reach out to help, but he waved her away.

"You can hate me, but you don't have to be so hard on your own body."

"Why are you doing this? When did you become so cold-blooded?"

Seeing the disappointment in Wu Sang's eyes, Zi Yi felt very uncomfortable. But now, she had made her choice, and there was nothing to explain. She did lead those people into the realm of demons.

"Go back. Your body can't stand the torture for now."

"I'm going to go find them."

"You know I won't let you go."

"I……"

Zi Yi caught Wu Sang who was knocked unconscious by him, and helped him walk back.
