Although the other three could not speak, their six eyes were glowing with surprise as they looked at Zi Que 'er in anticipation.
"Don't be agitated, listen to me slowly."
Zi Que 'er smiled bitterly and said, "It's not what you think. It's not that hubby isn't dead. To be exact, he's resurrected."
Seeing that He Ling still wanted to ask questions, Zi Que 'er quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what happened either. This is what happened …"
She immediately recounted how Lang Dong and the rest discovered the abnormality and how she discovered Ding Ning being resurrected.
After everyone calmed down, they also realized the gravity of the matter. Even though they were extremely agitated, they still spoke softly and slowly, afraid that they would disturb Ding Ning.
"Sob sob sob … I knew hubby couldn't bear to leave us."
He Ling wiped her tears of joy and said happily.
"Alright, don't be so excited. According to my observation, even if my husband has been resurrected, his condition is not optimistic. I estimate that he will need a long period of recovery. The most important thing right now is how to protect my husband during this period of time without arousing the suspicion of others. Otherwise, once people find out that my husband is not dead, those people will definitely seize the opportunity to kill my husband at all costs."
Kong Lei voiced out her worries.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and their expressions became solemn. Although Ding Ning had been awe-inspiring before, and everyone had to respectfully call him "Commander" when they saw him, in reality, there were many people who wished for him to die. After all, he had vigorously carried out the new policies, which had affected the interests of too many people. In addition, he had always been domineering. Even among the eight imperial courts, who had a vested interest in him, many people hated him to the bone.
Previously, those people only dared not act rashly because they were afraid of his endless means, status, and illustrious reputation. However, it was obvious that the imperial court wanted to burn the bridge after crossing it. Once the news that he was still alive was leaked and they knew that he was at his weakest, there was no guarantee that some people would not take the risk out of desperation.
"That's right, the news of hubby's resurrection must not be leaked. I agree with Sister Zi's suggestion. Other than the four wolf guards outside and the people here, don't tell anyone about this for now, including the other sisters."
Kong Lei was the first to express her support for Zi Que 'er's suggestion.
"Yes, this is the most suitable way. The other sisters may not be able to hide their emotions. Once they mess up, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others."
He Ling said in a low voice. Suddenly, she thought of something and said softly, "Do you guys think that the Violent Ape King Lord's death in the wee hours of the morning was due to hubby's doing?"
"That's impossible. My husband just woke up this morning. He's at his weakest now. He doesn't even have a physical body. How could he kill people?"
Zi Que 'er shook her head and rejected.
Kong Lei's expression became strange. She chuckled and said, "I don't think so. My husband can even come back from the dead. What else can't he do?"
"Madams, Young Master You, now that you mention it, I think it's very likely that it's the Great Marshal's doing. The Great Marshal has always been mysterious and unfathomable. His methods are endless, and he has always been the most protective. When he died … uh, when he was asleep, he found out that someone had come to bully him. In a fit of rage, he annihilated the Violent Ape Clan.
Lang Yuan rubbed his hands together shyly and smiled. However, he felt warm in his heart. Following such a handsome man was really exciting.
"You don't say. This is really like Big Brother's style. I think there's a ninety percent chance that Big Brother did it."
You Ling 'er beamed with joy and said with certainty.
"I still don't think it's possible. He's so weak that he's only a skeleton now. Even if he wants to, he doesn't have the strength."
Zi Que 'er shook her head continuously. She would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.
However, You Ling raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, don't be so sure. I dare to guarantee that even if Big Brother didn't do it, he definitely has something to do with it. You guys have overlooked a detail."
"What detail?"
Everyone's attention was attracted by his words and they asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law just said that Lang Dong and the other three seemed to have heard Big Brother's sigh last night. However, they didn't see him, so they couldn't be sure. If I'm not wrong, it was indeed Big Brother."
You Ling knew that Ding Ning had the Special Ability of Invisibility. She subconsciously thought that Ding Ning had gone out to kill people. As for how he, a skeleton that was pieced together, could kill people, she could not figure it out. However, she believed in her intuition that this matter definitely had something to do with Big Brother.
"That's right. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Lang Dong and the other three people heard Hubby's sigh. This means that they definitely didn't hear wrongly. Doesn't this mean that it was Hubby's sigh? Since he could sigh, it means that he has a consciousness. He knew that we were being bullied, so it makes sense that he went to kill people in a rage."
He Ling clapped her hands and said excitedly.
"Yes, I also think that's the case."
Lang Yuan giggled happily.
"That doesn't make sense. Since he has a consciousness and can sigh, why didn't he communicate with us?"
Although Zi Que 'er felt that it made sense, she still felt that it didn't make sense.
"It's just like what we were worried about. He was afraid that we would mess up the act and reveal a flaw that would arouse suspicion. That's why he didn't dare to contact us. I'm sure that Hubby is seizing the opportunity to play a game of chess. A very big game of chess."
Kong Lei was indeed the woman who had fallen in love with Ding Ning. She knew him very well and immediately guessed what Ding Ning was thinking.
"Play chess?"
Zi Que 'er was extremely intelligent. She immediately understood what Kong Lei meant. She said thoughtfully, "You mean, he's fishing?"
"That's right. He's using the opportunity of his death to see who would jump out. That's the only way to explain all of this."
Kong Lei nodded affirmatively.
"What playing chess? What fishing? You're making it sound so confusing. I don't understand. "
Although He Ling had been reborn and turned into a beautiful young woman, she was still innocent and did not have any cunning thoughts. She said with a puzzled look.
You and Lang Yuan understood and nodded to themselves, agreeing with their speculation.
"It's okay if you don't understand. When Hubby recovers completely, he'll explain it to you in detail. We're only guessing now. It might not be right."
Zi Que 'er chuckled perfunctorily and did not dwell on this topic. "I still think that it's not very possible. Husband, let's not talk about the fact that he's at his weakest now. Even if he was at his peak and had the power to kill Yuan Quan, it would be impossible for him to kill Yuan Quan without alerting anyone."
"That's true. No matter what, Yuan Quan is a Ninth Firmament Demon King expert. Even if he has just entered this realm not long ago, it would be easy for you to kill him, but it would be very difficult to kill him without alerting others."
Kong Lei could not help but admit that Zi Que 'er's words made sense.
"That might not be the case. What if it's an assassination?"
You Ling Yuan said, unconvinced.
"Assassination is impossible. That's the Violent Ape King's Court. Not only is Yuan Quan dead, but thousands of Violent Ape King's descendants are also missing. Even if he successfully assassinated Yuan Quan, those thousands of people can't possibly be foolishly assassinated without anyone noticing, right?"
Zi Que 'er firmly denied his speculation.
"What if he uses a formation?"
You Ling Yuan retorted unwillingly.
"It's even more impossible for him to use a formation. This is the Thousand Demon City and the Violent Ape King's Court is not far from the Imperial Court. As long as there's a formation fluctuation, the Imperial Court will be able to sense it immediately."
Kong Lei laughed bitterly and shook her head. The Thousand Demon City was the political center of the Thousand Demon Territory. The Imperial Court was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of a formation.
"I remember now. The Great Commander has a white mist-like treasure that can trap his enemies and make them kill each other. I've seen the Great Commander use it when he intercepted the Lion Tribe's army. Even if there's only an inch of distance between the inside and outside of the white mist, the people trapped in it will not be able to make a sound. Do you think that the Great Commander used a treasure to silently kill Yuan Quan?"
Lang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly.
Everyone immediately looked at each other. Ding Ning has such a treasure? Why didn't he mention it before? If he really used such a treasure, then it's really possible.
"I don't think it's possible. According to the news from the Wolf Guards, other than Yuan Quan, there were very few signs of fighting, but the missing Violent Ape Tribe members did not have any signs of fighting. According to Lang Yuan, even if husband used such a treasure and those people killed each other, there shouldn't be no signs of fighting."
Kong Lei shook her head lightly and once again rejected Lang Yuan's guess.
"Not necessarily. We seem to have forgotten about the Spider Deity in the backyard."
Zi Que 'er suddenly thought of the Spider Deity. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "What if the Spider Deity used such a treasure that emits white mist?"
"Then it makes sense. If the Spider Deity made a move, with the help of the white mist treasure, he would be able to do it."
Kong Lei's beautiful eyes lit up and she said in sudden realization.
"Hey! Why are women so smart? Be careful that no one will love you. When we get back, I'll spank all of you. "
A mocking voice suddenly rang out. It made everyone feel as though they were struck by lightning. They stood there in a daze, as though they had been struck by a spell.
"Big Brother!"
"Husband!"
"Marshal!"
"You heartless man, sob sob …"
"Husband, have you recovered?"
In the next moment, everyone in the room seemed to have come to life. Their bodies trembled as tears welled up in their eyes.
"I still need some time. Don't disturb me for now."
Ding Ning's body trembled slightly as well, a sign that he was not feeling calm at the moment.
In order to recover his physical body as soon as possible, he had no choice but to use the Fire of the Sun to heal his wounds. The results were a pleasant surprise. Even though the Fire of the Sun was too masculine and violent and caused him great pain, it was very effective. It resonated with his bone marrow and activated the bone marrow's regenerative ability. Not only did it greatly increase his rate of recovery, it also helped to repair his Fire Martial Soul.
However, the feeling of regenerating his physical body was simply too unbearable. The extremely itchy feeling of his flesh being regenerated caused him so much pain that he wished he was dead. He would rather be in extreme pain than endure this kind of unbearable itch.
Hence, when Zi Que 'er had entered the room to check on him, he was completely unaware of it. His entire mind was immersed in enduring the bone-piercing itch as he resisted it strenuously with his extraordinary willpower.
Only when his periosteum had been regenerated and his flesh had grown a layer of fine granulation tissue did the bone-piercing itch lessen.
However, after that, his internal organs were reconstructed. Soreness, numbness, itchiness, pain, and swelling took turns, tormenting him to the point where he wished he was dead and hovered between life and death. He never wanted to experience that pain a second time.
Once his internal organs had been reconstructed, the inhuman pain gradually faded away, allowing him to regain some of his senses. Only then did he realize that Zi Que 'er and the others were in the room next door. They were even discussing the truth of the matter one after another. Since he had been discovered, he naturally would not hide it anymore. He could not help but tease them.
