Chapter 410: The Farmer and the Snake

    

litter of fat rats raised on the estate has stolen."A tender voice rang out, and silence fell around it.Yes, Miss!Luo Huai's status was second only to Luo Ying. He was honest and sincere, but not fool...Yingying struggled to protect him, using her other hand to shield the child. Unfortunately, she was at her wit's end and couldn't save him. The blade pierced through her arm and into the child's chest. The child's cries abruptly stopped, leaving only pained whimpers.

"Humph! To dare to steal a man from me, Xiangyi, without even looking in the mirror!"

The woman in black drew back her long sword with a swift motion, leaving a trail of blood blossoms.

"Go see if they're all dead!"

Xiangyi instructed the masked man beside her.

Yes, Your Highness!

The man went forward and touched the woman's breath and pulse, then touched the child in her arms who was no longer breathing. He turned around and reported back:

"Princess, she has passed away! Shall we bury her here"

"What are you burying Offer it to the wild beasts on this mountain, and let Xu Fengze see what happens to those who betray me."

Xiangyi said nonchalantly, she wanted to let Xu Fengze's wife and children be left as corpses in the wilderness, eaten by wild beasts, so that he would regret defying her.

Xiangyi sheathed her sword and then said:

Where are the people chasing Xu Fengze

At this moment, with a loud "bang," a burst of red sparks exploded in the air. The masked man immediately looked up and, upon seeing the direction of the sparks, bowed back in reply:

"Princess, another group found traces of Xu Fengze in the back mountains."

"What are you still doing Chase after it!"

Xiang Yi coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

After receiving the signal, the masked man struck at the front, causing Xiangyi to walk in the middle. The rest of the black-clothed men followed behind. After a moment, the secret passageway was deserted.

The ripples were now floating in the air, looking down at Yingying and the infant, she decided to possess one of them. She was going to enter Yingying's body, after all, she was an adult, with a higher chance of survival.

At this moment, Yingying suddenly strained her eyes open and stared intently at the ripples floating in the air. Her mouth opened for a long time before finally uttering three words:

"Save the child!"

A ripple of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked into Yingying's eyes, and to her astonishment, she saw her own reflection within them. She suddenly pursed her lips into a smile and asked:

Can you see me

She nodded her head with effort, then continued to gaze intently at the ripples.

"I saved your child, how will you repay me"

"All, have it!"

The light in her eyes suddenly blazed, crystal clear. Lian Ri knew this was a last burst of life, that it wouldn't last long.

Yingying lifted her arm, which had been pierced, and pulled a jade pendant from her neck, placing it on the baby's swaddling clothes. She spoke in broken, halting words:

"This is the key to opening the treasure trove!"

Then continued to watch the ripples, stubbornly waiting for an answer.

"Alright, I've taken on this task. I will live for your child and avenge you both. Remember to tell them my name when your soul returns to the underworld. Wu Lianyi. All of your soul power except for that needed for reincarnation shall be mine. Consider it payment for taking on this mission."

"Just keep living."

The light in her eyes had begun to fade, and after uttering those four words, her breath slowly ceased.

The ripple did not hesitate, directly plunging into the swaddling clothes and possessing the child.

Two little whimpers escaped the baby's mouth, and the light in her eyes vanished completely. This time, however, a smile played on her lips.

Once the ripples entered the infant's body, it was discovered that the child's soul had dissipated. There was a wound on her chest, inflicted by Princess Xiangyi just now. Because the child's mother shielded her with her arm, the sword did not pierce the infant's body, but it wounded her heart meridian.

Because Xiangyi's insane woman drew her sword so quickly, the baby's heart wasn't completely severed where it was damaged. Blood supply remained, and the heart stayed connected. However, the damage was still there, and it wouldn't heal in a short time. She couldn't move either. In short, Ren's body that Ripple took over was extremely fragile.

This was still Ripples' first time using a baby body, and she was an adult soul. Being in an immature infant body, the child's flesh couldn't withstand the collapse, plus she already had injuries on her.

Lin Ri sighed softly, then carefully put away the jade pendant that Ying Ying had left behind. It was the key to the treasure trove, although she still had no idea where it was located. She decided to keep it safe for now. Then, she temporarily sealed her soul and became a completely ordinary infant.

After all of that, the ripple also got tired, and the baby fell into a deep sleep. Instinctively, it began to repair its body.

On the other side, Xu Fengze was running rapidly with his son in his arms through the mountains, but the masked men behind him relentlessly pursued him, showing no intention of letting him go.

"Run apart, you still have a chance to live."

Xu Fengze roared.

No one is protecting the master.

"I am the master, I will protect myself well. You all leave, staying alive is the most important thing."

Xu Fengze finished speaking and, with a tap of his toe, flew onto the treetops, then changed direction and ran away.

Unfortunately, the masked man was fixated on him. Most people still followed him, while a smaller group set out to hunt down the remaining individuals.

When Xu Fengze leaped onto the treetops again with his light skills, a sharp sword pierced his calf. He fell directly from the tree, but during his descent, he still clutched the baby in his arms tightly, thus dropping the sword from his hand.

When Xiangyi arrived later, she saw Xu Fengze's disheveled appearance and a joyful smile spread across her face. She played with her hair while saying triumphantly:

"Xu Fengze, Wang Yingying that bitch and the newborn bastard are already dead, you should go down and join them too. What's the rush"

Xu Fengze gritted his teeth and snapped the arrowhead from his leg, clutching it tightly in his hand. He glared at Xiangyi with eyes burning with rage.

"Xiangyi, you venomous woman, I shouldn't have saved you back then. I should have let that bandit leader rape and kill you!"

Xu Fengze had never regretted anything as much as he did today. The person he had helped save turned out to be a venomous snake, killing his most beloved person and child.

"Humph, you're just a vagabond, having the audacity to reject me, a jewel of the royal family. Who do you think you are I never intended for you to be my husband; at most, you'd be a plaything for me. And you dared to secretly marry and have children while I was away! You deserve to die!"

“Yingying is my wife, whom I married with a grand ceremony of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, carried into my home in an eight-palanquin procession. What are you A poisonous woman anyone can have! So what if you're a princess I'm a person from the martial world, I don't look down on you at all! No one would willingly marry you openly! It's only because you submit to the power of your emperor behind you!”

Xu Fengze, since knowing that Xiangyi Princess was the one who came to massacre his family, knew that he and his son would die tonight.

Since that's the case, he didn't mind using the most vicious language to curse this woman. Just because he refused to be her plaything, she wanted to kill his entire family. Such a vicious person, he would curse her to never find what she desired for her whole life.

Xiangyi was indeed angered, a flash of anger crossed her eyes. Then, a baby's cry interrupted her, and she rolled her eyes, suddenly having a new idea.

"Kill him, but leave his children!"s Fengyu, got into that carriage, and fell behind that group of martial artists, heading towards the waterfall bamboo forest.Chang Wei failed to find Wen Lu and her daughter, and already a fire was bu...
