My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Everyone began to kowtow, begging Heaven to give them a way out.

However, while kowtowing and begging, General Yao suddenly remembered the information his men had gathered. He had heard that in Ningxing Prefecture, Ji Yunshuang was known as a fairy bodhisattva.

They say she looks like a fairy and has the heart of a bodhisattva. She was sent down by heaven to save the people living in dire straits.

It was she who saved the people from that cannibalistic plague.

Because of her, Ningxingzhou was spared from widespread bloodshed...

Some people firmly believed that she was a deity descended to earth, and even spent money to have a golden statue made for her, offering incense, candles, and paper money.

Thinking of Ji Yunshuang's superb martial arts skills and omniscient abilities, General Yao thought that perhaps Ji Yunshuang was truly a deity descended to earth, sent by Heaven to save the suffering people.

If she is truly a deity descended from heaven, then please let heaven send her to save them!

So, as he kept begging, it turned into begging Ji Yunshuang.

When Fan Hongmiao heard that General Yao had asked Ji Yunshuang to come and rescue them, he initially thought that General Yao was a coward and was also very angry.

How could he possibly ask a woman to save them? A woman, of course, but a woman from the Zhou Kingdom! They were enemies of their respective states!

Has he gone mad? How could he actually beg a woman from an enemy country to rescue them?

And the way he looks now, really, he doesn't look like a general at all.

Fan Hongmiao was filled with anger and resentment, but in the end he said nothing.

The way he kneels on the ground now, begging for God's mercy, hardly resembles a high-ranking official in the court.

If those old fogies in the court knew what he looked like now, they'd probably laugh their heads off.

He sighed inwardly, "Fine, fine, I'll just have to beg!"

Anyway, even a great general like Yao doesn't care about his reputation. If he's going to ask for a woman from an enemy country, then he should ask for one too!

After Fan Hongmiao took the lead, Shu Tianhe followed suit and, like General Yao, began to plead with Ji Yunshuang.

At that moment, Ji Yunshuang, whom they were praying to, was outside a village in Yumu Mountain.

Once inside the mountains, the feeling of being watched by hundreds of eyes at any time became even more pronounced.

This also made her absolutely certain that the surveillance she had felt before was not an illusion, and that everything was real.

There was indeed something lurking in the shadows, secretly watching her.

She even had a ridiculous suspicion in her mind: was the other party deliberately leading her here?

The forest was lush with trees and covered with rotten soil and mud, making it an excellent hiding place for insects.

Based on her previous experience dealing with those insects, she knew that they couldn't stay outside the human body for long after leaving it.

So as soon as those insects leave the human body they have been inhabiting, they rush to find the next host.

But now the insects have mutated.

During their last encounter, the insect had optimized almost every aspect that was disadvantageous to it. She suspected that this time it had optimized even more thoroughly.

Perhaps nowadays, those insects no longer have the disadvantage of not being able to stay outside the human body for too long.

Perhaps they are hidden in the soft soil.

They may also be hiding among the leaves and trunks of trees.

It was so subtle that she wouldn't notice a thing; the insects probably hadn't moved an inch.

They remained motionless, transmitting what they had learned while monitoring her to the host insect through empathy.

There must be a lot of insects!

Even though she was wearing full protective gear and knew that the other party couldn't get into her body, Ji Yunshuang still felt a chill run down her spine.

She tried to calm herself down.

Calmly considering the situation, if her guess was correct, what was the priestess trying to do by leading her here? Was it for revenge? To kill her? Or did she have some other motive?

Ji Yunshuang guessed that it was probably not as simple as going to great lengths.

Perhaps, there's more to it than meets the eye.

She recalled the madness the other party displayed when she released her telekinetic power.

She never understood what effect her released psychic energy had on the other party, or why it made them so frantic.

But since they exhibit such uncontrollable madness, it must have something extraordinary about them.

As Ji Yunshuang analyzed the situation in her mind, she led the soldiers to follow the marks left by Lu Yinheng.

Xu Xi followed behind Ji Yunshuang, glancing at her every now and then. He felt that the lady seemed different today than usual.
