Wait, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look at the detached stone house outside the residential area.

Under the cover of night, the stone house was perfectly hidden, like a dark, monstrous creature.

"not good!"

Shen Miao left those words behind and ran wildly toward the stone house.

Qingchen and Jiuying exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Shen Miao ran to the stone house in one breath. When she saw the door wide open, Ju already sensed something was wrong. After entering the house and looking around, she did not see Shuanghua's figure, and her premonition was completely confirmed.

The frost flowers have disappeared!

While the corpses were causing chaos and everyone was in a flurry of fighting back, they escaped.

Shen Miao punched the wall in frustration. She had been too careless. She had already noticed something was wrong, and Jiu Ying had reminded her, but she still hadn't thought of Shuang Hua.

Her nightmares clearly started after she saw the frost flower, so no matter how you look at it, she is a suspect.

He's still too arrogant.

"Come and see! There are some symbols here. Frostflower summoned these corpses!" Jiuying suddenly shouted.

Shen Miao quickly went over to check. The three of them huddled together and saw a bunch of messy symbols left on the ground. They were probably drawn with blood, which had turned brown after drying.

The group looked left and right, but couldn't discern anything suspicious.

Qingchen said, "She has altered it. This kind of secret technique cannot be shown to others."

"I should have killed her long ago!" Shen Miao clenched her fist and said fiercely. Now she regretted it, she regretted it very much.

Jiuying patted her shoulder, offering silent comfort.

Shen Miao said sullenly, "I'll send someone to look for her first thing tomorrow morning, no, I'll go look for her myself. I refuse to believe I can't find her!"

Qingchen's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

The next day, Shen Miao led people to look for Shuanghua, but they could not find her anywhere; Shuanghua had long since disappeared.

She could only warn Xuanran's army to be on high alert and guard against Shuanghua's return to cause trouble.

However, even if you are on guard against the secret techniques of the Frost Flower Society, it won't be of much use. She will still cause trouble if she wants to.

After waiting for several days, there was still no news from Shuanghua, and it seemed that she had no intention of returning for the time being. However, problems arose among the people around her, starting with the children.

They became extremely sleepy; if you didn't wake them, the babies could sleep from day to night, and even though they slept every day, they still felt very tired.

Even the delicious food made by Shen Miao could no longer tempt them.

Shen Miao doesn't allow them to sleep too much. Every day, she wakes them up as soon as she finishes cooking, which makes the kids feel very wronged.

"Mommy, I'm so sleepy."

"I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

With a thud, Sanbao and Sibao fell asleep on the bench.

Shen Miao walked over, patted their cheeks, and coaxed, "There's delicious sweet and sour pork today, but it won't be available if you fall asleep."

"Meat..." Sanbao murmured, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained closed.

Shen Miao: "..."

She picked up the babies and wiped their faces one by one. Suddenly, Da Bao started crying in pain. Shen Miao was startled, thinking she had used too much force and hurt the babies. She quickly asked, "Where does it hurt?"

"My body aches, my hands aches, my feet aches, everything aches." Da Bao was extremely aggrieved.

Shen Miao let him touch it.

The second baby also started crying out in pain, and all four babies took turns groaning throughout the morning.

Shen Miao felt that things couldn't go on like this, so she invited Lin Shousheng over. Lin Shousheng prescribed some medicine for them and diagnosed, "They're probably too tired, plus they've been too frightened. They just need to rest."

Shen Miao agreed, and then let the children sleep instead of constantly catching them.

However, another problem arose in Xuanran's army. The soldiers there were experiencing the same symptoms as the children: excessive sleepiness and body aches, but they couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the pain; they just felt pain.

These symptoms look both normal and strange.

Following Lin Shousheng's advice, Shen Miao temporarily suspended the training and let them rest.

However, the condition did not improve after resting; in fact, it worsened.

The little ones often wake up in pain while they're sleeping, with tears in their eyes, looking incredibly pitiful.

Shen Miao then summoned Lin Shousheng, who carefully examined them and said with some guilt, "I was wrong. They are not tired, they are under a spell."

Shen Miao was shocked: "How could so many people be infected by a curse? Uncle Lin, please take a closer look. Could there be a mistake?"

"There's no mistake, this time it must be right, they've definitely been poisoned by a curse, but I can't cure it," Lin Shousheng said with some shame.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao became even more anxious. If Lin Shousheng couldn't solve it, then who could?

She went to find Jiuying and asked him to go to Uncle Shu, but Jiuying shook his head immediately. "Uncle Shu doesn't know. He doesn't understand these things. But if it's a case of being poisoned by a Gu, I do have an idea."

"What? Tell me!"

At this moment, Shen Miao would seize any advice offered by someone.

Jiuying slowly said, "Go outside and find someone. There are so many small tribes outside that rely on us; surely there are a few who can cure the curse."

Shen Miao thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. She was about to go look for someone when Jiu Ying quickly stopped her: "There's no use in looking like this. Let's spread the word first. If someone knows that this place needs to be cured of the curse, they will naturally come to our door."

"That makes sense."

It was precisely because I was too hasty at the time and didn't think too much that I ended up being scammed and wasting several high-level beast crystals.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

On that day, after Shen Miao and the others spread the news, many people were eager to try their luck with those few high-grade beast crystals. However, only a few people knew how to cure the Gu poison, and most people just coveted them.

Therefore, no one came to the door for a long time.

Shen Miao was anxious, so she added two more high-grade beast crystals to the existing ones. This price would directly raise her spiritual power by one level.

When Qingchen found out, she stopped her from raising the price any further.

Shen Miao, wealthy and powerful, said, "I have beast crystals. As long as someone is willing to come, I don't care how much I spend."

Nothing is more important than my baby's life.

Beast crystals are even more so. So what if they're high-grade? They can still be obtained by hunting exotic beasts.

"It's not a matter of whether you're willing to give up or not. If you raise your offer, some people will be envious, which may not be a good thing," Qingchen explained.

Shen Miao gave an "oh," but she didn't really care.

The price increase had an effect; an orc approached. He was dressed in black animal skin, covered in various bone ornaments, and had dark, mysterious eyes.

Shen Miao was overjoyed. This person was clearly a master. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Can you remove the poison?"

“Indeed, I don’t easily help others, but this time it’s fate that we met, which is why I decided to come and help,” the mysterious orc said.

Shen Miao was flattered and humbled herself to ask, "How do I know if we're destined to be together?"

The orc glanced at her, then put his hands behind his back, looking as if he knew it was a secret.
