he blood-soaked planks," he said.I nodded and asked, "Where are my family"Changning smiled wryly and shook her head, raising her hand to point with her thumb toward the small dilapidated house behind...Liang Xiaoguo is Mu Wanchen's confidant, he knows more things than me

This current state is just trying to appease me, I know that for sure. But I also want to see other areas here, so I nodded and said: “Alright, since we still have time, take me around.” 。"No problem, let's take a boat. Let's go to the dock." 。"Liang Xiaoge was quite straightforward. He called over several guards who had been following me from afar, and we walked down together." 。The pier was huge, lined with large ships. Those who came from other places to participate in the sacrificial ceremony and wedding stayed on the ships temporarily. Among them, a three-story ship stood out prominently, with the totem of the Si clan fluttering on its surface. 。... Si Huang was talking to a few people at the dock, and when she saw me and Liang Xiaoge, she immediately walked over with a cold face and asked, "What did you do to Si Yun Whether she's dead or alive, you have to give me, the clan leader, an explanation!" "She's not dead>>> 。I replied. 。"...Are you sure" she looked at me with suspicion. 。"Probably not dead, I told Mu Wanchen to keep it, and Mu Wanchen agreed." 。I rolled my eyes. 。"... Well, he is the son of the former chieftain after all. Now that we rarely have bloodline left, if we can spare his life, I have no objection to how we torment and punish him." 。Si Huang arrogantly raised her chin. 。I hummed in response, not wanting to prolong the argument. 。They're still thinking about the beaded bracelet, Daozong said there seems to be something inside it. I'll find time to discuss with my fellow disciples and see if we should send it for testing. 。Liang Xiaoge said to Si Huang: "Si Huang, if you have any questions, please go directly to see our Wuzhuang Lord. Don't make it difficult for our little princess. Our little princess is new here, and I'm just showing her around. Please give way." 。"What kind of environment is familiar to you" I looked at Si Huang. She didn't get along with Mu Wanchen or Liang Xiaoguo, so she might deliberately reveal some information to me. 。If you have some time, Si Huang, how about lending us your boat I'd like to take a look at the scenery along the way and chat with you. 。I said to her 。"Chat about something you're interested in, for example, this bracelet." 。I flicked my wrist. 。The bracelet is quite big on my hand, and it's always threatening to fall out of my sleeve, hanging down on the back of my hand. 。Si Huang let out a hum, snapped her fingers, and the people behind her immediately went to prepare the boat. 。Little Brother Liang whispered, "Little Princess, although their big boat is the fastest, but...aren't you afraid of arguing with her She's quite fierce." 。"

Be not afraid " 。“I’m still afraid of fighting, but who am I afraid of when it comes to arguing!”

After all, Si Huang is the leader of her clan, and she executes orders very quickly.

I boarded her large ship with Little Brother Liang and six guards. Little Brother Liang summoned a divine eagle to follow us 。"Do you want to see the Ghost City" Si Huang hummed with a smirk, "What's there to look at" "Just curious..." 。"What you said about that village wasn't a ghost town, it's just a few piles of white bones left now, there's nothing to see." 。"Si Huang came lightly and said a sentence." 。Look, Brother Liang is just perfunctory to me. The Ghost City must be somewhere else. 。A divine eagle flew onto the mast, its gaze fixed on me. Si Huang let out a snort of laughter and said dismissively, “Oh, Your Majesty the Divine King is really so uneasy. You follow me everywhere.” 。"What nonsense, if you're jealous, go find a husband who makes you nervous." 。I cut myself. 。"Hmph, intermarriage within the same clan is forbidden. Between clans... who else even has the qualifications to be my husband Don't make a joke out of this." 。"Si Huang arrogantly said" 。"That's better than becoming an old maid, isn't it You're young now and not afraid of being single, but what if all the good men are taken by then You'll regret it later... Why don't I introduce you to someone" I said with a smile. 。"It's nothing special" 。“Si Huang coldly replied, “I don’t care about bloodline continuation at all. Let it perish, let it be. For thousands of years, we have guarded a mere watershed, unable to move an inch. What’s the point of continuing like this”

Hmph, it seems she isn't ignorant of the survival crisis, but rather knows there’s no way to turn things around, so she just doesn’t bother.” 。"Has having a baby here really become such a big problem" I couldn't help but ask her. 。Si Huang frowned. "Anyway... it's very difficult to conceive now, even if we do, the chance of giving birth to a healthy baby is very small... Several of our clan miscarried this year... And some of the children born have defects..." 。"Why not just marry someone outside of your sect That would solve everything. Stop using witchcraft and sorcery to force things on pregnant women — the natural formation of life is at the heart of morality. If you want to use external forces to change it, that's the truly unrighteous act, don't expect to get away with it! 。I sighed and said 。"...one person, a few people can't change anything" 。Si Huang turned her head and faced away from me. 。Perhaps she, and Mu Wanchen, as clan leaders, have already realized these things. However, for a thousand years, too many secrets have been buried here. If contact with the outside world were made, perhaps their beliefs would collapse, and the entire clan's way of life would undergo drastic—and possibly devastating—changes. 。In the society I live in, there aren't many secrets left to keep. The development of the internet has long since made the strange a part of everyday life. 。

Liang Xiaogge walked over and listened to our conversation for a bit. He comforted me, saying: "Actually, it's not that serious. My sister is about to give birth, there's no blood curse, and even Lord Lianlong diagnosed the fetus as very stable, so there shouldn't be any problems.

" "Hope so." 。“ And Si Huang spoke at the same time. 。A dilapidated village, with craters gaping in the ground and dust-covered earth where no grass grew. 。This is where the Ghost Princess stayed How could it be so devastated “Back then, the Ghost Princess resisted the power of the Underworld and thought she could seek help from Heaven. Taking advantage of the solar eclipse day, she summoned both Star Lords to the mortal realm. It is said that she offended both Star Lords. Although the two Star Lords disagreed with the Emperor of the Underworld, they couldn't be commanded by a Ghost Princess! The Heavenly Star Lord came to the mortal realm and smashed a big hole here…” Liang Gege kept babbling about the story 。Wherever the flames have passed, new branches sprout. How can this place still be so desolate "It's filled with resentment... When Mu Xiaqiao passed away, they performed a ritual to guide her spirit, but some resentments seep into the soil and rivers, leaving only time to wash them away..." 。"Si Huang said" 。The flute in her hand gracefully turned a circle, raised to her lips, and blew out a haunting melody. 。I saw the ground soil move, and a slender centipede emerged. The centipede was very small and looked extremely weak. 。"You see, the resentment even affects the animals underground. This place may not recover to its original state for who knows how long...let alone humans..." 。"Si Huang spoke in a low voice." 。She seemed to be hinting at something and gave me a meaningful look. 。"My lady, if you are pregnant, it's best to return to your family home to await the birth..."ce" I looked up at Mu Wanchen, puzzled.My back was pressed against his, and when I looked up, I could see the line of his throat and jaw.His eyes were cold, his brows and eyes carrying a faint yet dea...
