Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2236: Chapter 2235: The Space Hot Spring Turns Black

”Subordinate doesn’t want to get married yet, to avoid ruining someone’s life,” Jianqi said coldly.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, ”You and Yizi have both been by my side. If you two were together, it would ease my mind a bit. But I won’t force either of you, I just hope you’ll consider it carefully. Some things you miss might lead to lifelong regrets.”

Jianqi said flatly, ”I’m used to being alone, without any ties.”

Bai Ruozhu didn’t know what to say either, and could only let Jianqi go.

Outside, Yizi, who had returned with brewed tea, had heard everything, her heart aching as if being twisted by a knife. She entered the room to deliver the tea, saying with a stern face, ”Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

”Alright.” Bai Ruozhu, as a matchmaker, was a bit disappointed.

After Yizi left, Jianqi also retreated. He thought of Yizi’s sullen appearance, guessing that she had heard what he said.

This was good, as he originally wanted to make his stance clear.

In the evening, Jiang Yichun and his party returned, and the members of Wei Hall looked displeased.

Bai Ruozhu asked the innkeeper for a private room, arranged two tables with food and wine, intending for everyone to gather and enjoy, but the atmosphere was very gloomy.

”The Fire-Thunder Formation is hard to break.” After a long pause, Xiu Shao spoke up.

”Can’t we send mechanical puppets to detonate all the fire-thunder?” Bi Tao bit her lip, ”Let my mechanical puppet go.”

Although mechanists have quite a few puppets, many puppets are connected to their master’s mind, and when destroyed, the master is also harmed.

Xiu Shao shook his head, ”I’m afraid not, the array is very peculiar. It doesn’t explode over a wide area but in sections, yet its power is immense, otherwise Uncle Xin Sheng wouldn’t have...”

Seeing Fen Jizhi’s unpleasant expression, he immediately changed the topic.

”We observed today, usually small and lightweight puppets can’t detonate the fire-thunder, but if they attack, and the mechanist is too far away, it’s hard to have complete control. Currently, it seems that only larger puppets can detonate the fire-thunder.”

Xiu Shao paused for a moment, ”This array is very unique, it can gather Qi. I suspect it also incorporates Quanrong’s trick techniques, with each array eye gathering Quanrong’s Qi, complementing the fire-thunder. Even if part of the fire-thunder explodes, more Qi quickly replenishes it.”

”Animals like messenger pigeons don’t trigger the fire-thunder, and today we drove a wild chicken and a deer into that area, yet the fire-thunder wasn’t triggered.” Jiang Yichun also looked displeased.

”The Quanrong can also replenish the fire-thunder whenever needed. If this Fire-Thunder Formation can’t be broken, the Jiuli Clan in this era will be controlled by them,” Gao Zhou said shaking his head.

Bai Ruozhu was a bit angry, ”I don’t believe they can guard the entrance forever without doing other things.”

”Ruozhu, we thoroughly explored today, apart from an old master and mistress, they only have about a dozen people. Having discovered some we killed, they’ve already summoned everyone inside the array, making it quite difficult for us to act again. Xiu Shao also noted that the array may change at any time. Even if we have shoes that won’t trigger the fire-thunder, a change in their array could immediately trigger it, making it extremely dangerous,” Jiang Yichun said, frowning.

Bai Ruozhu also felt stifled. Presently, it seemed there was absolutely no way.

Even with the worst method, sending a death squad to step on the mines, they can still gather Qi in the array and replenish the fire-thunder. Sacrificing a whole team might change nothing.

She would never agree to break the array by sacrificing people; she hoped everyone here could safely reunite with their loved ones.

In the end, no conclusion was reached, and Wei Hall’s people needed more time to ponder. This issue wasn’t something that could be resolved overnight, so everyone had dinner and gradually returned to their rooms.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun immediately returned to the Space to be with Little Dengdeng, who was already sleeping. Bai Ruozhu had taken care of his dinner before heading downstairs, not expecting him to fall asleep so quickly.

”Is he unwell?” Bai Ruozhu worriedly touched her son’s forehead, finding the temperature normal, she quietly sighed with relief.

”Perhaps he’s growing, eating and sleeping well,” Jiang Yichun comforted her.

”I wish this ordeal would end soon, so Little Dengdeng can have a more regular life with his parents,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun patted her head gently, ”Don’t worry, the rabbit is quite good at taking care of the child.”

Thinking about Tutu’s attentiveness, Bai Ruozhu felt more at ease, then took some medicine and asked Jiang Yichun to undress, saying she needed to change his dressing.

”How about soaking in the Hot Spring first before applying the medicine?” Jiang Yichun felt exhausted all over.

”Alright, Hot Spring Water can help heal wounds too,” Bai Ruozhu said, carefully helping him take off his outer garments, revealing some wounds that started to bleed again. The moment his undershirt was exposed, there were specks of blood on his back, with some places sticking to the wound.

Bai Ruozhu felt heartbroken, handling everything more gently. Yet one of his wounds still bled, and the blood was black.

She wasn’t surprised as she herself had suffered from a curse, making her blood black; it was the same for Jiang Yichun.

Noticing her expression, Jiang Yichun worried she might be upset, quickly entered the Hot Spring Pool, submerging everything below his neck in the warm spring water.

”Comfortable, I feel the wounds will be fully healed in a couple of days,” he sighed contentedly.

Bai Ruozhu walked to the edge of the pond, sitting down to speak with him. But before she finished one sentence, her face changed.

”How can this be?” she exclaimed.

Originally enjoying the tranquility, Jiang Yichun suddenly looked down, discovering that the originally clear Hot Spring Water had turned black and was becoming even darker!

He quickly jumped out of the pond, shocked it was caused by him, could it be his blood?

Bai Ruozhu stared at the Hot Spring Pool in surprise and suddenly cried out, ”I know!”

”Know what? What’s going on?” Jiang Yichun hurriedly asked.

”First, put on some clothes, so you don’t catch a cold,” Bai Ruozhu said, handing him a towel to wipe the water off his body. When wiping his back, she was especially careful, afraid of touching his wounds, but still accidentally ran her hand below his seductive waistline.

Jiang Yichun instinctively swallowed, reaching out to grab the towel from Bai Ruozhu’s hand, ”I’ll do it myself, tell me what’s going on.”

Bai Ruozhu quelled her wandering thoughts, handed him clean clothes, helped him get dressed, and took him to the section of the forest.

”Look at this tree, it’s entirely black, the fruits are black too, and only this tree is like this here. Feng Cheng said that most of my curse was caused by this tree,” Bai Ruozhu pointed to the black tree.

Jiang Yichun looked up at the tree; it was much taller than any other tree, so unique.

”But my curse is because of me,” Jiang Yichun said confusedly.
