Chapter 3020: Chapter 3021: He Came Looking

"Ordinary people would die after consuming my flesh, but there are some who would gain stronger powers. That’s the case with the Zhong Family; nearly all of them can acquire powers and special abilities. Others would gain abilities similar to mine, closely connected with me, usually becoming the Patriarch."

"So you got a large chunk of flesh cut off, and Ao Song suffered the backlash?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"That’s probably the case."

Bai Ruozhu was still somewhat confused, "Then what about outsiders who marry into the family or are adopted?"

"They have arrays for protection, usually without incident."

She let out a big sigh of relief, then the astrologer should be fine too, though it’s uncertain whether eating the Taisui flesh and gaining stronger power would wake him up.

...

Meanwhile, Ao Song and Jiang Yichun outside were about to go mad with anxiety.

Jiang Yichun first noticed Bai Ruozhu hadn’t returned for a long time and went to Ao Song, who had no choice but to honestly explain the situation.

Jiang Yichun’s face turned as cold as ice, urging Ao Song to take him to rescue Ruozhu.

Unexpectedly, the two sneaked into the forbidden land but could not find Bai Ruozhu; Jiang Yichun called out for a long time, and no one responded.

"Could she have been..." She said, stopping abruptly, her eyes falling on the stone slab below, suddenly covering her mouth.

"What? Speak quickly! Or I’ll smash this slab!" Jiang Yichun threatened.

"Don’t do anything rash; Sister Ruozhu is below, but she’s fine. You can’t act impulsively, or something bad will happen." Ao Song hurriedly said.

She saw the Taisui, and also saw Bai Ruozhu sleeping inside the Taisui’s body, but Bai Ruozhu was unharmed. She even sensed the Taisui held no hostility towards Bai Ruozhu, seeming to like her.

But what exactly is Taisui? Once it’s provoked, who knows what might happen?

"It eats people and doesn’t leave them alive, but Sister Ruozhu is just fine. This indicates it really likes Sister Ruozhu, or maybe this is her opportunity. Don’t be anxious, I’m definitely not lying to you. I regard her as my own sister and won’t ignore her well-being." Ao Song added.

Jiang Yichun was deeply anxious, "What exactly is it?"

Ao Song frowned, "Everyone in my family is born with a restriction; we can’t speak of it or describe it."

"Then write it down," Jiang Yichun said coldly.

Ao Song shook her head, "That’s impossible. If you don’t believe me, I’ll write anyway."

She plucked a hairpin and began writing on the ground, but as soon as she penned a stroke, her body uncontrollably started trembling, and she fainted to the ground.

"You..." Jiang Yichun, skilled in medical skills, checked and realized Ao Song wasn’t pretending; she was genuinely unconscious.

Feeling helpless, Jiang Yichun lost his helper.

He looked at the stone slab and saw no gap whatsoever. Was Ruozhu really below? How would she get up?

Nonetheless, he calmed down; although Ao Song hadn’t written it, he guessed it might be a terrifying monster, and he should not act recklessly.

Deep beneath the stone slab underground, Bai Ruozhu had been chatting with Xiaoxiao for a while, and learned many things, though most of them revolved around Xiaoxiao’s childhood. He came here in a daze, his memories fragmented.

"Ruozhu, Ruozhu!"

Jiang Yichun’s voice was heard faintly from afar, Bai Ruozhu found it indistinct but felt he was nearby.

"It’s my husband looking for me, and my family is also with the Zhong Family; they must be very anxious." Bai Ruozhu said.
