Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2000: Chapter 1998: Awakened

Bai Ruozhu was stunned as she watched from the side. How did the great elder suddenly take action? Why not think of ways to help Wei Yu first, but instead directly kill him for the so-called safety of Jiuli?

She couldn’t help but recall that Jiao Yunyun and Jiao Ling were also forcibly taken back to Jiuli by him. He even glanced at Bai Yihong, who hadn’t awakened any insignia, and simply tossed him aside.

Bai Ruozhu’s anger grew stronger and stronger. This old man claims to do everything for Jiuli, but how can he be so heartless?

Suddenly, the great elder went to lift Wei Yu’s corpse, only for Wei Yu to suddenly open his eyes. His eyes shone brightly, and his whole body burst forth, attempting to escape.

”Thanks to the great elder for the assistance.” At this point, it was no longer Wei Yu, but Gufeng who spoke, laughing as he fled.

Wei Yu was a rare genius in Jiuli, having already undergone the Jiuli trials. His martial arts were outstanding among his peers and even better than many elders, which is probably why the great elder suddenly acted. If Wei Yu had been prepared, the great elder wouldn’t have been able to harm him.

As he ran, Gufeng said, ”Boy, did you see that? This is Jiuli. You regard them as clan members, yet they didn’t hesitate to kill you. Now your soul is damaged, and you cannot compete with me for your body. I’ll leave after finding your wife.”

Bai Ruozhu chased Gufeng closely, blinking forcefully. She seemed to be able to see the two souls within Wei Yu’s body.

One was a large phantom, albeit blurry, still distinguishable as different from Wei Yu, a man with a sinister expression and a bushy beard. In one corner of the body, Wei Yu’s phantom was small, and even blurrier, as if it might disperse at any moment.

Damn that great elder! It was his palm strike! Bai Ruozhu thought through gritted teeth.

”Why are you looking for Xiao Ling? If you want to leave, go by yourself, don’t harm my wife.” Wei Yu said excitedly, but his excitement made his form dissolve, almost disappearing completely.

Gufeng laughed heartily, ”But I nurtured the Phoenix Poisonous Insect inside her body. I’m indifferent towards her, but I cannot part with such a treasure as the Phoenix Poisonous Insect.”

”You... Bastard, I’ll fight you!” Wei Yu charged at the large Gufeng phantom but was ruthlessly bounced away. Now he wasn’t a match for Gufeng and couldn’t reclaim his body.

Gufeng quickly found the weak Jiao Ling and the newborn Lanlan. He exclaimed in surprise, ”How did the Phoenix Poisonous Insect get on the child?”

Wei Yu looked at his wife and daughter, reaching out to touch them, yet he couldn’t leave his body, let alone touch them.

”Spare them. If you do, I’m willing to disappear,” Wei Yu said through clenched teeth.

Gufeng laughed, ”Whether you disappear or not doesn’t matter, you can’t reclaim your body anyway. Isn’t it more satisfying to watch me destroy Jiuli? After all, you are Wei Aofeng’s descendant.”

At this moment, Jiao Ling awoke, saying excitedly, ”Wei Yu, look at our daughter. I’ve named her Lanlan.”

Tears streamed down inside Wei Yu’s body, ”Lanlan is a beautiful name. Xiao Ling, you’ve worked hard.”

Unfortunately, Jiao Ling couldn’t hear his voice. Gufeng grabbed Lanlan greedily, ”Since this child can nurture the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, I’ll let her keep her little life.”

Jiao Ling widened her eyes, ”What did you say? Are you crazy? Using our daughter to raise the insect?”

Outside, the tumult grew louder. The great elder led people to give chase, stating Wei Yu was betraying the clan.

Wei Yu stopped wasting time with Jiao Ling, embracing Lanlan as he fled. Though the great elder’s pursuit left him heavily injured, he successfully escaped the Jiuli Clan.

Bai Ruozhu watched him closely, noticing the great elder realized his mistake but, to save face and avoid blame, he didn’t mention the truth revealed by Wei Yu.

Because Gufeng escaped after killing three Jiuli people and injuring more than a dozen, Wei Yu’s mother wept and committed suicide to atone, saying she failed to teach her son properly, bringing dishonor to the clan. She compensated with her life.

Bai Ruozhu’s tears fell as she watched from the side. Clearly, it’s Gufeng’s cunning and greed that caused this, it was the great elder’s selfish rashness that made the mistake, why should Wei Yu’s mother bear this?

At this point, the scene slowly collapsed, the earth shaking and sky shattering into fragments, and Bai Ruozhu emerged from the Illusory Realm.

She found herself the first to exit, likely followed by Gufeng. Without hesitation, she swung her dagger at Gufeng’s neck.

With a clang, the poisonous insect inside his body blocked the dagger. Bai Ruozhu used all her inner strength, hearing the sound of cracking, the blade finally cutting down a bit, slicing open his skin, and leaving a large wound.

But she knew this wasn’t enough. She had to chop off Gufeng’s head to completely eliminate the threat.

Suddenly, Gufeng opened his eyes, delivering a palm strike to her.

She grunted softly, body flying backward.

”So, you’ve been spying all along, I’ll kill you!” Gufeng pointed at Bai Ruozhu, commanding the Phoenix Poisonous Insect to attack.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly summoned Xiaomao, remembering Xiaomao was using illusion techniques and needed to sleep. She swung her dagger to resist the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, quickly realizing its power had weakened somewhat, undoubtedly due to it emitting a red illusion light.

At this moment, Fen Jiu, Zu Mei, and Jianqi awoke, promptly aiding her. They soon successfully repelled the Phoenix Poisonous Insect.

Gufeng’s expression changed, hastily swallowing the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, rushing towards Lanlan’s medicine vat.

Bai Ruozhu formed a curse technique defensive shield, blocking Lanlan. Gufeng collided against it, giving Bai Ruozhu and the others a chance to stop him.

”You just wait, I’ll kill you all sooner or later!” Gufeng lost the opportunity, furiously threw a group of poisonous insects, then leapt out of the yard, fleeing into the distance.

Bai Ruozhu clutched her chest, kneeling on the ground, ”Don’t chase after him, let’s see how Aunt is doing first.”

At this moment, Jiao Ling finally awoke, crying loudly. The painful experience replayed again, tormenting her once more, nearly driving her mind to collapse.

Bai Ruozhu swiftly embraced Aunt Jiao, gently saying, ”Aunt, I saw everything, I saw the truth of it all. Calm down first, once calm, I can explain it to you.”

At this point, Lanlan in the medicine vat also awoke, nervously watching Jiao Ling, ”Mom, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me. You’re my only family left, you can’t have anything happen!”

Lanlan was unfamiliar with the outside world or matters, coupled with her young age, she began crying out of fear.

”Lanlan, don’t cry, mom’s fine.” Her daughter’s cries awakened Jiao Ling. Supported by Bai Ruozhu, she quickly moved towards Lanlan, ”Silly child, mom promised to take care of you well, how could I let something happen?”
