Chapter 2253: Chapter 2252: Phoenix Poisonous Insect Escapes

Including Xiu Shao, the four members of Wei Hall cried the most because many of the people who died sacrificed themselves to protect them. They were heroes who saved their people in times of danger, yet they became skeletons, buried long in that secret realm. Their families could not bury their bodies, and now only mock tombs are held.

Bai Ruozhu also attended the memorial service. She didn’t have a deep impression of those young people, but she was moved by their spirit.

After that, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun stayed in the clan for a few days. Bai Ruozhu completely healed her injuries, while Jiang Yichun became more familiar with the sudden ability to control water.

Bai Ruozhu calculated the days; it was time for them to set off.

But as she looked at her family and children, her heart was filled with reluctance.

”Stay with Dengdeng and the three of them. The journey to Donghai is long; I’ll take some subordinates myself.” Jiang Yichun saw her reluctance and temporarily changed his mind.

Bai Ruozhu immediately put on a stern face and said, ”No way, didn’t we agree? I’ll accompany you to find them and figure something out. Besides, I promised the Empress Dowager to find Ning Yu and Diao Bin and them. Don’t give me that. I can’t rest easy if you go alone. What if you run off again like last time? How can I explain to the children? Don’t be fooled by Dengdeng’s young age; he understands everything. How would I explain when he asks?”

Jiang Yichun hadn’t expected Bai Ruozhu to say so much all at once. He felt a bit sad yet touched. He patted her hair and said, ”But this journey will be so hard. You’ll miss your family and kids. I don’t want you to suffer so much.”

”But if something happens to you, I’ll feel even worse, and so will the family and children,” Bai Ruozhu said seriously.

Jiang Yichun finally nodded and said no more. He also hoped to survive, call it a fear of death, but more so, he wanted to stay by his wife and kids, to grow old with her, to watch their children grow up, marry, and have kids.

After convincing Jiang Yichun, Bai Ruozhu worried again. How should she tell her parents about leaving this time? Especially her mother, who recently suspected she was injured and always wanted to give her a bath and scrub her back, which made her cry and laugh.

Tell them the truth, and they’d worry. After all, her parents were old and couldn’t bear such shocks.

Not tell them, then how to explain? Surely Lin Ling would oppose her leaving first; convincing her mother would be very difficult.

While Bai Ruozhu was distressed, urgent footsteps sounded outside, followed by Jiao Ling rushing into the room, anxiously saying to Bai Ruozhu, ”Ruozhu, go quickly. Lanlan is not in good shape; she’s been holding her head, saying it hurts. Go and see quickly!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhu jumped up immediately and hurried outside, with Jiang Yichun following. As they entered Lanlan’s room, sure enough, they heard Lanlan’s painful cries.

”Lanlan, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt? Is it a headache?” Bai Ruozhu rushed forward, grabbed Lanlan’s pulse, and asked carefully.

Unfortunately, Lanlan was in too much pain, unable to concentrate, unable to answer Bai Ruozhu at all. She just held her head, crying out in pain.

Seeing this wasn’t working, Bai Ruozhu hurriedly said to Jiao Ling, ”She’s in too much pain, maybe we should use Acupoint Sealing to put her to sleep?”

Jiao Ling frowned and said, ”I just tried; it’s useless.”

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. Usually, people would fall asleep when the sleep point was pressed, but Lanlan was unaffected, indicating how intense her pain must be, even the sleep point couldn’t put her to sleep.

However, checking Lanlan’s pulse, Bai Ruozhu found nothing wrong. She couldn’t figure out what was happening, just that Lanlan’s QI was chaotic, her emotions fluctuating greatly.

”What happened before this?” Bai Ruozhu asked, looking at Jiao Ling and then at Chenfeng, who also looked worried.

”We were just talking; she had no particular reactions. Suddenly, she held her head, saying it hurt,” Chenfeng said.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”Lanlan’s body doesn’t seem to have any issues, nor anything special happened. I’m afraid her current condition is related to the Phoenix Poisonous Insect.”

Everyone held their breath. Related to the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, doesn’t that mean...

Jiao Ling hurriedly said, ”Let me control the Phoenix Poisonous Insect. Perhaps it would make Lanlan feel better.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded. For now, that was the best they could do. They couldn’t let Lanlan suffer in pain like that.

Just as Jiao Ling stepped forward to use her Secret Method, Lanlan suddenly screamed more piercingly. Her mouth opened wide, and a beam of golden light shot from her mouth, followed by a golden bug flying out and into the air.

Everyone was shocked because the situation happened so fast that no one thought of catching the Phoenix Poisonous Insect that had rushed out of Lanlan’s body.

This was the first time Bai Ruozhu saw the Phoenix Poisonous Insect. It looked like a flying cicada, like the ones we called ”Zhiliao” as kids. But it was entirely gold, its wings four pieces, thin and transparent like a cicada’s, emitting a faint golden glow.

If one didn’t know this was an astonishing bug, at first glance, they might think it was some auspicious beneficial insect, for its golden body was stunningly beautiful, and cicadas symbolize luck, hardly making one suspect danger.

The situation was abrupt, and no one knew what to do with this Phoenix Poisonous Insect. If they killed it now, would it directly harm Lanlan?

In the end, Fen Jiu reacted quickly, shouting, ”Catch the Phoenix Poisonous Insect first, but don’t hurt it. What if it escapes and affects Lanlan?”

Everyone hastily moved to catch the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, but it flew incredibly fast, darting out the window and out of the room in an instant.

Bai Ruozhu dashed and pursued using light footwork, with Jiang Yichun following closely, using his newly mastered Water Vapor to wrap around the Phoenix Poisonous Insect’s wings. The Phoenix Poisonous Insect’s speed did slow, but soon it broke through the Water Vapor, transforming into a golden light heading straight towards the back of the She Mountain.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun reached the foot of the mountain, already unable to see the Phoenix Poisonous Insect’s trace. The two searched the mountain again until the sky began to darken, still unable to find the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, and had to return empty-handed.

”You think the Phoenix Poisonous Insect leaving Lanlan’s body will affect her? And flying into the Back Mountain like this, will it become a major threat?” Bai Ruozhu asked worriedly.

Jiang Yichun said grimly, ”The Phoenix Poisonous Insect probably wouldn’t leave Lanlan’s body without reason. Could it be that Gufeng used some special method to summon it?”

Bai Ruozhu remained silent, not saying anything further, as she truly didn’t know what was happening, nor did she dare to imagine the problems that might follow.
