you only wanting a brother and not me anymore…"The sound was strange and eerie, giving me goosebumps. This ghost's soul has started to warp...If resentment is too great, it can turn a ghost into an ev...For his entrance that reeks of self-importance, I scoff.

What are you showing off for! Hurry up and save me!

He didn't make much of a movement, he just pointed in my direction, and that icy feeling crawled up my spine.

Snakes snakes snakes... I was so scared, my whole body tensed up.

A chilling touch enveloped me, and then I was being pulled forward.

I was sent to Mu Wanchen's side.

He reached out to steady me, and from within the house came the shrieks of rats. Those cunning creatures were being strangled one by one by unseen serpent spirits.

That strange man was also strangled by the largest snake spirit.

Mu Wanchen turned his head and looked at me, asking, "Are you hurt"

“Yes! I'm almost bald! Look, so much hair has been pulled out!” I pointed to my head and exclaimed, “These people made rats bite me, kicked me, stuffed my mouth shut, and hit me with a stool! And he was the one who wanted to take advantage of me, but he said it was my willing! It's unbearable!”

To treat a barefoot doctor who came to help with the disaster in this way is really against heaven's will!

I gesture wildly with my hands, trying to convey the gravity of these crimes, hoping that Mu Wanchen will help me get revenge.

Mu Wanchen nodded slightly, his face showed no discernible emotion. However, the spirit of the giant snake was already strangling the strange man to death, its tongue even sticking out.

"You shouldn't be here." Mu Wanchen pulled me out of the stone house, and the snake spirit followed us as well. The strange man was bound in the air and moved with us.

“I brought some things over, didn't intend to bother you, just dropped them at the edge, you guys can move them yourselves.”

I… well, I'm just a little bit off. My mouth isn't quite saying what I mean.

With so many things being given, as the leader, you should at least come out and express your gratitude, right

"It's very dangerous here right now, I can't look after you. You'd better go back." he said calmly.

That sounds a bit off, like you're asking me to leave.

I pursed my lips and said nothing, just walked away. If I go back late, my senior brothers will be worried.

"I've had what you brought moved back. Thank you for your thoughtfulness." he said softly.

"Um... You're welcome..." It's not my money anyway.

"I sent Lian Long to treat the people who came with you. They're fine."

He dragged me out of the dilapidated "courtyard gate," and only then did I realize that the surrounding firelight was cast by soldiers carrying oil lamps.

They wore embroidered, close-fitting garments, each with a leather belt around their waist and various oddly shaped pipe knives tucked in. They also carried hard crossbows on their backs, resembling fierce and colorful guardsmen.

I swallowed nervously and whispered, "You...what...what are you doing..."

"Stealing someone." Mu Wanchen replied to me faintly.

As soon as she finished speaking, many torches appeared on the hillside, and the woman who had captured me led dozens of people rushing up.

"Divine King! You shouldn't be so tyrannical!" she shouted at Mu Wanchen.

A man beside Mu Wanchen raised his hand and shot a crossbow bolt, knocking over the torch next to her as a warning.

"Si Du, this is the third time. Please behave yourself." Mu Wanchen said coldly.

What does that mean Does it mean we're letting this woman go this time

I puffed out my cheeks, wanting to voice my opinion, but seeing the hundred or so people around me in a tense and ready-to-fight atmosphere, I wisely chose to stay silent.

The atmosphere is about to get heated.

"You, for a woman, actually hurt our clan brother! What face do you have to be called the God King!"

"The title of 'Divine King' is passed down from the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, not bestowed by your Si Clan. What qualifications do you have to comment Scram! I'll let you off this time, but next time, even if your clan leader appears, I will show no mercy." Mu Wanchen waved his hand dismissively, followed by his guards who opened the way with a menacing air.

I shrank back, afraid to speak. This whole thing seemed to have started because of me. If I opened my mouth and said anything, it would only pour fuel on the fire.

Mu Wanchen said that only direct-line wizards in this tribe bore the surname Si. This Si Duan should be a woman of considerable status—hence her temper.

"You stole a woman, harming our tribe and your own people. And now you want to take her away! I will not agree!" She raised her hand, and the people behind her drew their swords with a flash of steel.

Oh, dear... Are we really going to have a brawl

"I... I can say a few words" I hid behind Mu Wanchen, carefully speaking.

He nodded slightly, gesturing for me to speak.

"Miss, my cousin wanted to take advantage of me. Mu Wanchen found out and he lied to you all, saying that it was Mu Wanchen who came to abduct me. I never agreed to be his wife, I don't even know him! He tried to kidnap me! Please, talk some sense into him!"

"Hmph... The God King has so much free time Conveniently able to catch up and save you You also threw my brother into the Youfang Pond! Burning flesh and bone, making him worse off than dead!" Si Duan roared.

I glanced at Mu Wanchen's profile. He looked cold and aloof, unmoved by whatever the other person was saying.

"You could just… dispose of him. Why be so cruel…" I whispered under my breath.

For such a bastard, killing him is the best.

Mu Wanchen's guards pushed aside several people who were blocking their way. Just as they were about to fight, a haughty voice came from behind——

"Stop! Si Duan, who allows you to block the path of the Divine King!"

Ah, finally someone who makes sense.

The thought only flashed in my mind for five seconds before I wanted to take it back.

A slender woman with a proud and erect waist, adorned with an extravagant and ornate mask, stood atop the hill. Behind her, a contingent of guards armed with bows and crossbows encircled the entire slope.

"Lord Silas, are you still blocking the way Let me and our God King speak with him..." she said arrogantly.

Si Du's eyes were filled with both surprise and joy, she immediately bowed her head to accept the order and led her people aside, clearing a path.

The woman walked up with an air of arrogance, holding a flute in her hand. She raised her hand and pointed at me, saying to Mu Wanchen, “My Lord God King, when the heavens are enraged, we should unite and coexist, rather than harm important members of our tribe for one woman. Don’t you agree Turning against the tribe isn't a wise move.”

Mu Wanchen glanced at her lightly: "If it were an ordinary woman, I would have just warned her. But he dared to lay his hands on this woman... Throwing her into Youfang Lake is already a small punishment."

"Tsk, everyone's half-dead already, and you still call this a light punishment Who is this woman Worth the wrath of the God King Best answer honestly, or else, I don't care about any gods or kings, I'll turn them all into a honeycomb!"

Oh my gosh, this woman is even hotter!

"She is the future Witch Queen," Mu Wanchen replied.

"Huh" I couldn't help but be taken aback, letting out a questioning syllable before immediately feeling Mu Wanchen's threatening gaze. Frightened, I quickly covered my mouth.

You're taking advantage of the situation! I don't admit it!to hold my breath, but the moment I was surrounded by the cold, murky seawater, the sound around me vanished instantly. This feeling still makes it impossible for me to stay calm.As I struggled with m...
