The useless second daughter of the Hua family

"Enough!" Pi Fu stood up suddenly. She couldn't stay in this place full of evil for a moment longer.

"Xuanju, we don't have time to act with you here, let us go."

It’s his business if he wants to go crazy, don’t show it in front of her and offend her.

Lingxi was startled. She grabbed Pi Fu and asked in confusion, "You just came back, where are you going now?"

Even though she knew it was fake, Pi Fu couldn't bear to push her hand away. She could only think of an excuse to prevaricate.

"Some of my friends who came back with me have urgent matters at home and need my and Xiuzhu's help."

"You brought friends back? Why didn't I see them? Why didn't you invite them to dinner?"

Xiuzhu stood up, took Pifu back to sit down, and signaled her to be patient. The two of them understood that everything in the valley was controlled by Xuanju, and it seemed that the memory of the fake Lingxi had also been changed by Xuanju.

Xuanju didn't want them to say more, so he changed the subject.

"Master, didn't you say before that when Xiuzhu and Pifu grow up, you will have something big to announce?"

When he mentioned it, Lingxi's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head shyly, stammering and unable to say anything.

Pi Fu suddenly had a bad premonition. As expected, Xuan Ju's words were like a thunderclap, which froze her in place and made her unable to move.

"Master is going to marry me, right?"

Xuan Ju held her hand, placed it in front of his lips, and rubbed it gently, not caring about the discomfort of the other two people present.

"Xuan Ju, you are seriously ill!" Pi Fu squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.

Xuanju was completely immersed in the joy that his master was going to marry him and didn't take her words to heart at all.

Pi Fu wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiuzhu.

The two returned to the previous room and saw that Hua Miaomiao and the others still showed no signs of waking up. They tried several times, but to no avail. As expected, their cultivation was far inferior to Xuanju's.

"I'll go find him." Pi Fu turned and walked out.

Xiuzhu held her back, "Bi Fu, forget it. He is no longer the Xuanju you knew."

Xuanju suddenly appeared at the door. Xiuzhu pulled Bifu behind him and looked at him warily.

Xuanju gave a bitter smile. He was once the eldest brother they relied on the most.

"Do we really have to do this?"

Pi Fu poked her head out and rolled her eyes at him, "Save my friend first."

"These mortals are unable to adapt to the spiritual energy in this valley. It would be better to let them sleep before leaving."

"Will you let us go?" Xiuzhu asked.

"Of course. Do you really think I would hurt you?"

Xiuzhu was silent. Pi Fu stood up and pointed outside the door. "That puppet..."

“That’s my most perfect work.”

"But, marrying a puppet is really..." Pi Fu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the right words.

"I don't ask for your understanding. I am just too lonely and miss her too much. I know that she is a high and mighty God, as holy as she is, she will not be tainted by anyone. To fantasize about her is simply disrespectful. I will stay away from her and carefully guard my feelings."

"..."

Pi Fu was thinking that this person must have locked himself up for too long and had lost all information. If he knew that my sister not only came down to earth but also got married, I wonder if he would go crazy.

She and Xiuzhu leaned against each other tacitly, blocking Hua Miaomiao tightly. They quickly reached a consensus that Xuanju must not know that Hua Miaomiao was the reincarnation of her elder sister.

"I don't know how you got in. But I'm still very happy. You are my relatives, so stay and attend the wedding. After Master and I get married, you can find a reason to leave."

"But my friend has been poisoned and can't last long."

Xuanju glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "Don't worry, she's here, nothing will happen to her."

With just a few glances, he can determine that a person has been poisoned. This Xuanju is indeed quite capable.

"Can you save her?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"It's easy to save her, but you know we can't interfere with the life and death of mortals. However, mortals have their own way of saving themselves. I heard that there is a strange flower in the desert that is said to be able to revive the dead. You can let her try."

"Thank you." Xiuzhu thanked him sincerely, but politely yet awkwardly. Xuanju shook his head helplessly.

"The wedding will be held as soon as possible, don't worry."

After Xuanju left, Bi Fu and Xiuzhu moved several sleeping people to the beds.

While helping Hua Miaomiao tidy up her clothes, Pi Fu warned Xiuzhu, "We must be extra careful with our words. If that lunatic Xuanju knew Miaomiao's identity, the consequences would be disastrous."

Xiuzhu was speechless. When he thought of the puppet without independent consciousness, he couldn't help but worry about Hua Miaomiao. Never mind, let him be crazy, just don't harm others.

At night, Xiuzhu and Pifu took turns to keep watch. Suddenly, there was a faint cry of a baby. Pifu was startled. How could they have a baby in just one afternoon? Were they planning to have a full moon banquet at the same time?

Soon she realized something was wrong. There was not just one voice, but a group of them.

"Xiuzhu?"

"I heard it. I'll go check it out. You stay behind."

"Okay, stay safe."

Xiuzhu approached quietly. He saw a huge canopy in the sky, which showed the village before. The chief priest led the people to worship. There were a dozen babies on the altar. Some of them were crying, and some were lifeless. Outside the canopy, a giant black-armored man-eating ant was extending two tough and sharp tentacles, inserting them into the children's heads without hesitation, sucking their essence until the babies' bodies became shriveled and exhausted.

"Oh my god!" A low cry suddenly came from the side. Xiuzhu turned around and saw Bi Fu lying beside him with a look of indigestion on her face.

"Don't worry, I've set up a barrier. No one can get in except Xuanju." As if she knew what he was going to say, Pi Fu hurriedly explained. Here, if you can stop them, don't worry. If you can't stop them, there's no point worrying about it.

Xiuzhu sighed, acquiescing. The two watched as the black ant absorbed enough spiritual energy, closed the sky curtain, and restored its human form. It was indeed Xuanju. They didn't expect that he was the evil god worshipped by the mountain people.

"His cultivation is already high enough, why would he risk practicing such an unorthodox method?"

"Hush, look."

Xuanju walked to a stone platform, on which lay something that looked like a human.

Xuan Ju transferred all the energy he had just absorbed into the thing's body. Then it gradually began to come alive. Xuan Ju hugged her excitedly, "Lingxi!"

"Oh my god! Can this still be considered an immortal? It's no less than a demon!"

"Pi Fu! Calm down! What can you do if you rush out now?" Xiuzhu held her down tightly.

"He is my sister's disciple, how could he do such a thing?"

"Isn't Miaomiao the most important thing now?"

When she heard Miaomiao's name, Pi Fu immediately stopped talking.

"Yes, we must take her out as soon as possible and away from this lunatic."

Looking at the figures hugging each other not far away, she said with great determination.
