It was a fact that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were not on good terms.
However, the relationship between Nan Yu Suo and Li Yunzi was a little unpredictable.
On the surface, Nan Yu Suo kept calling Li Yunzi Big Sister this and Big Sister that. She also seemed to be going against Li Yunzi secretly, but it was mostly on small matters.
"Where are you hurt?" Li Yunzi gently supported Zhu Minglang. She saw that Zhu Minglang was in a tired and weak state. His face was so pale that it was bloodless.
Zhu Minglang exhaled. The air he exhaled was filled with frost. He looked at the city wall with lingering fear and said, "I just feel a little cold. My body can't warm up no matter what."
"Yu Suo." Li Yunzi turned to look at Nan Yu Suo, who was hugging the Immortal Rabbit Dragon. She indicated for her to let Little Chang 'e help Zhu Minglang get rid of the ghost chill in his body. "Treat Minglang."
"This ghost chill is mostly hidden in the skin. To get rid of it, I have to touch Brother-in-law's entire body. As his sister, it's so embarrassing to do such a thing for Brother-in-law." Nan Yu Suo smiled charmingly. She did not mind that there were many people around. Her tone and attitude were purposely trying to make people think that there was some shady relationship between them.
Zhu Minglang was already used to it.
Nan Yu Suo's temperament was like June's rain. She acted as if she wanted to compete with Li Yunzi for favor, but in reality, she would never give Zhu Minglang any chance to cross the line. It was really a pure brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship!
However, she still wanted to flirt!
Every time she flirted with someone's heart, she would turn around elegantly. She was as pure as ice and as proud as snow!
Li Yunzi could not be bothered with this seductive sister of hers.
Under the pressure of Li Yunzi's gaze, the Immortal Rabbit Dragon jumped down and started to treat Zhu Minglang seriously. Nan Yu Suo said that she wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, but she still walked over and placed the back of her hand on Zhu Minglang's cold forehead.
Closing her eyes, Nan Yu Suo began to transfer spirit power to Zhu Minglang so that Zhu Minglang's body could warm up.
However, Goddess Ye's Ghost Chill was too strong. In the process of expelling the Ghost Chill for Zhu Minglang, Nan Yu Suo herself was also infected with this Ghost Chill. Her skin turned pale, and her rosy cheeks gradually lost their color. Her beautiful full lips turned white and purple.
At this time, Nüwa also came over and motioned for Nan Yu Suo to draw the ghostly cold energy towards her. As a Nüwa, she was not afraid of this ghostly cold energy.
Nüwa nodded and guided the Ghost Chill Poison in Zhu Minglang's body into Nüwa's body with the Immortal Rabbit Dragon.
"Have you warmed up?" Li Yunzi asked softly when she saw that Zhu Minglang's skin was no longer as pale as before.
"Yes, I'm feeling better."
"Goddess Ye is too terrifying. Fortunately, you were smart enough to deal with her. Yu Suo also repaired the city wall in time. Otherwise …" said Li Yunzi.
Speaking of repairing the city wall, Zhu Minglang's gaze involuntarily landed on Nan Yu Suo.
"Miss Yu Suo, the secret of Zulong City's city wall is actually in your hands, right?" said Zhu Minglang.
"Hmph, it's not like only you and Li Yunzi can protect Li Chuan," said Nan Yu Suo proudly.
"Everyone should be safe tonight, but the city is still sinking. Tomorrow and the day after, we must break through this Hundred Li Quicksand," said Zhu Minglang.
Li Yunzi and Nan Yu Suo both nodded.
After fighting from day to night, everyone was very tired.
Nan Yu Suo had already strengthened the city wall. The quicksand should not be able to break through the walls. Tonight, everyone could rest in peace. After daybreak, they would have to make a more important decision.
… …
After moving into the Li Family's residence, Zhu Minglang was recuperating.
Nan Yu Suo also decided to sleep here. Zhu Minglang needed time to expel the Ghost Chill from his body.
Zhu Minglang fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he could clearly feel the entire Li Family's residence sinking a little. The city outside the walls was still in a state of panic.
The damaged corner of the city wall allowed many people in the city to witness the terror of the darkness.
Most of them would rather be buried with the Ancestral Dragon City than be eaten by the Night Walkers in the wilderness.
Zhu Minglang slowly woke up. He saw Li Yunzi sleeping on the table beside him. Zhu Minglang called the little maid Shuang'Er over and asked her to help Li Yunzi to sleep in her room …
However, Shuang'Er was probably sound asleep too. Zhu Minglang got up and gently carried Li Yunzi from the chair.
Zhu Minglang could not help but sneak a kiss on Li Yunzi's cheek. However, when he realized Li Yunzi's red lips were rapidly turning pale, Zhu Minglang did not dare to have any improper thoughts. He quickly carried her back to her warm room and gently placed her on the bed before covering her with a blanket.
After letting go of Li Yunzi, Li Yunzi's cheeks gradually became rosy and she regained her original complexion. Zhu Minglang also realized that the Ghostly Chill in his body had not been completely expelled. If he were to come into contact with others at this stage, it might cause others to be infected as well.
"Hmm?" she softly moaned. She seemed to have woken up.
She opened her eyes. Her slender eyelashes were trembling. Her excessively beautiful face could easily tug at Zhu Minglang's heartstrings. Zhu Minglang felt that even if the incident in the dungeon did not happen, he would still fall in love with Li Yunzi at first sight. Her drool-inducing beauty could easily arouse a man's desire to protect and possess her!
Zhu Minglang once thought he was a person who would never judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought he would be completely defeated by a beauty one day?
"I accidentally woke you up." Zhu Minglang said apologetically. Of course, he purposely kept a distance from her to prevent the Ghost Chill from spreading to her body.
"Young Master, a lot of things happened outside, right?" the beauty asked softly after waking up.
Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
Someone else?
When Li Yunzi was tired, it was easy for her to fall asleep.
When she fell asleep, Li Xinghua would wake up.
Due to the aftereffects of the Soul Ignition Technique, Li Yunzi and Li Xinghua were awake at the same time …
However, they needed Li Xinghua's guidance right now. Her prophecy was extremely important. Whether or not they could break out of this quicksand situation was not something that Li Yunzi and Zhu Minglang could solve with their strength alone.
"Yes, we are in a terrible situation right now," Zhu Minglang said.
At that moment, Zhu Minglang briefly described the recent events to Li Xinghua. He also described the actions of the Sparrow Wolf God in detail.
Li Xinghua must have done a complicated calculation before and found a clear path of divination. She only needed to sort out the situation briefly before saying to Zhu Minglang, "Young Master, the Sparrow Wolf God's appearance in Buried City has given us a chance."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Minglang did not quite understand.
"I'll sort it out for you later. We'll visit a few people tonight," Li Xinghua said.
"Which ones?"
"Let's start with Shang Zhuang," Li Xinghua said.
Shang Zhuang?
Li Xinghua had previously said that Shang Zhuang had clues about the Sparrow Wolf God's divination.
However, Shang Zhuang was not a particularly important person in the Sparrow Wolf Temple. On the other hand, Shang Hanxu had died because of the curse of the servant god. Zhu Minglang felt that Shang Hanxu might have more valuable information on him.
…
Heading towards the prison cell, Zhu Minglang saw that the sand was already less than half a person's height, and those prisoners who could have slept on the haystack did not dare to sleep now. They could only stand on the sand in fear, and every once in a while, they would pull their legs out of the sand a little.
"Zhu Minglang, Li Yunzi, let us go!" Crown Prince Zhao Ying began to panic. He did not want to be buried with the city.
"You two evil couple, you have harmed so many people in Extreme Court. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Zhu Minglang ignored the barking of these people. He took Li Xinghua and went straight to where Shang Zhuang was being held.
Shang Zhuang was squatting on the sand, looking depressed.
As a proud citizen of God, he did not understand why he had been defeated so many times.
"Shang Zhuang, I want to ask you a few questions," Zhu Minglang said.
"I won't talk to you. Don't treat me like a coward. You can kill me or torture me if you want," Shang Zhuang said coldly.
Zhu Minglang looked at Li Xinghua.
Li Xinghua approached the prison and said in her gentle and dignified voice, "You have been searching so hard for the person who harmed your family. Now that you have the answer, are you going to commit suicide?"
Shang Zhuang raised his gaze and stared at the woman who was so beautiful that she was a little too attractive. His eyes shone with a clear luster.
"How do you know about me?" Shang Zhuang asked.
"When the Fog of Nothingness dissipated, even more dreams that were difficult to distinguish between time and space poured into my mind. In one of the dreams, I saw you hiding under the statue of a god. I saw over a thousand withered corpses outside. At the same time, I also saw a devil in black linen robes. He took everyone's lives and left," Li Xinghua said.
It was a simple description, but Shang Zhuang's face gradually became covered with blue veins. It was like the scene when he crawled out from under the statue. It was like he was in hell on earth.
His family, more than a thousand people, had all been turned into withered corpses. Even everything in the Shang Jialin that he lived in had withered.
"I was young back then. I only managed to escape death by hiding under the statue of my god, the Sparrow Wolf. However, my father, mother, my siblings, my relatives … I swear I will find the culprit and make sure he will never be reincarnated!" Shang Zhuang said in great pain.
"There are quite a lot of experts in your family. A tiny statue won't be enough to save your life. Your family is dead, but you are still alive. It means the culprit purposely avoided the statue when he executed the art," Li Xinghua said.
"The culprit must be afraid of the Sparrow Wolf God. My god saved my life. I, Shang Zhuang, swear to follow him until my death. I will never betray him no matter what you do! "Shang Zhuang said firmly.
"Did it ever cross your mind that the culprit purposely avoided the statue because it was his own statue?" Li Xinghua asked.
Shang Zhuang stood there with a blank face, as if he had been struck by lightning.
