Chapter 239 The Monster in the Black Mist

Seeing that it was almost time and Bai Zilin and the others would be arriving soon, Liu Ye slapped Furong's hand away, turned around, and quickly ran into Gu Lao Mountain. Furong and Xuan Wang reacted and quickly chased after her, shouting, "Stop! If you don't want to die, stop right now!"

Liu Ye ran a long way into the Gu Lao Mountain before stopping. She was afraid of danger if she went any further. She turned to the two people who were chasing after her and said, "This is it. This is the burial place I chose for you. Do you like it?"

Furong was furious. She raised her dagger and stabbed at Liuye, yelling, "You bitch, I'll make you pay with your life for my daughter!"

Emperor Xuan also swung his fist at Liu Ye, and the two attacked from both sides. Liu Ye took out a wood-chopping knife from her spatial storage and was about to make a move when a thick black mist rose around the three of them. Seeing this, Liu Ye quickly flew up into a tree. What was going on? How could the mist rise in the blink of an eye? She had seen white mist before, but she had never seen black mist before. It was really too strange.

Suddenly, a huge head emerged from the black mist, sticking out its tongue. Startled, she quickly slipped into her spatial dimension. Immediately afterward, two screams echoed from outside the dimension. Judging from the voices, they belonged to Furong and Xuanhuang. Oh my god! Husband, please don't come at this time!

No, she had to get out. She flashed out of the space and saw that the black mist had dissipated. Under the tree lay the corpses of Emperor Xuan and Furong. Their heads were intact, but all the flesh on their bodies was gone.

Willow Leaf swallowed nervously, then gently jumped down from the tree without making a sound. Good heavens, it ate everything so clean! What kind of monster was that? How could it eat two living people in the blink of an eye...? This is terrifying!

Suddenly, Bai Zilin's shout came from afar, and Liu Ye quickly ran back in the direction of the sound: "Husband, I'm here, hurry up and get out of here, it's dangerous inside."

Upon seeing Bai Zilin, Liu Ye grabbed his hand and ran away. Hei Yi and the others also hurried off. Once they were out of the territory of Gu Lao Mountain, Liu Ye slowed down and patted her chest, saying, "Husband, there's no need to look anymore. Furong and Xuanhuang are both dead in Gu Lao Mountain. It was terrifying! You must never go into Gu Lao Mountain again. There are monsters inside. Furong and Xuanhuang were eaten in the blink of an eye, leaving only their heads. It was truly frightening."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zilin and Hei Yi, along with dozens of servants, collectively shrank back. Several times they had wanted to go in to hunt, but thankfully they hadn't...

Bai Zilin quickly checked Liu Ye for injuries: "Wife, are you alright?"

Liu Ye shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I saw a black mist suddenly appear, so I quickly climbed a tree to hide. I stood on the treetop and looked down. I could see a monster with a big head in the black mist. Then the black mist disappeared in the blink of an eye. I didn't see how the monster left. Fu Rong and the others just left like that."

Bai Zilin wiped away a cold sweat after hearing this; it was terrifying. He squatted down on the ground and said, "Wife, come on up, I'll carry you."

Actually, Liu Ye wasn't tired at all, she was just a little scared. Her heart was still pounding and her calves were cramping. She needed to have some space back, otherwise she would end up like Fu Rong and the others.

She leaned against Bai Zilin's back, feeling the warmth of his body, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down. After they came down from the mountain, Bai Zilin drove the carriage to take Liu Ye and her daughter home. The sun was almost setting.

After returning home, Liu Ye asked Bai Zilin to watch over Kele while she went to find Mango. She eventually found Mango in the woodshed; Mango was fine, but she had been drugged.

Liu Ye looked at Mango with concern and asked, "Mango, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Mango frowned and rubbed the back of her head, saying, "The back of my head hurts a bit, there's a big bump..."

Liu Ye touched the bump on the back of Mango's head: "It's nothing, the swelling will go down in a couple of days."

She took a gold ingot out of her bosom and stuffed it into Mango's hand: "This is a reward for you. I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble today."

Mango held the gold ingot with a happy expression, her mouth almost reaching the back of her head as she grinned: "Thank you, Madam! Hehehe, a bag for a gold ingot, what a bargain! Hehehe, this servant will go see Cola."

Liu Ye shook her head speechlessly. This silly girl, it's good that she's a little silly. She wouldn't dare use someone like Furong.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Although the South is like spring all year round, the New Year is still celebrated just like in the North. People celebrate the New Year when it's time to celebrate, and other festivals when it's time to celebrate. Isn't that what the New Year is all about?

Bai Zilin gave all the workers a half-month holiday, and they would resume work on the 15th of the lunar year. Dalong, Xiaohu, Heitao, Heiyi to Heishi, and Lao Li, along with the others, would spend the New Year at home. The others would spend the New Year at the mountain resort. Bai Zilin did not mistreat them; he gave each of them one hundred taels of silver and a lot of other things. They could eat as much chicken, duck, fish, and meat as they wanted from the mountain resort, and they could even slaughter pigs, sheep, and cattle as they pleased.

After the New Year, Bai Zilin planned to rebuild a house in the mountain resort. Hei Yilong, Hetao, and Xiaohu were willing to get married, and he would even pay for their weddings so that they could also have a home of their own and be as happy as he was.

Bai Zilin carried Kele and let him walk on his own. Kele wriggled his short legs and took one step at a time, "Ahhh, woohoo."

"Hehe, look how well my son walks. Wife, look, Cola's legs are so strong, he walks so steadily. His hands hurt when he hits people. He slapped me in the face yesterday, and I still feel the pain. That brat, he even hits his own father..."

Liu Ye sat to the side, drinking tea and eating snacks. There was a lot of fruit on the table, but it wasn't fruit picked outside; it was all from her space, good for her precious son. "You deserved to be hit. Who told you to steal someone else's food? Husband, I plan to wean Cola after the New Year. He already has several teeth, and he can eat porridge, noodles, and steamed egg custard. Yesterday, he ate a whole lychee. Breast milk loses its nutritional value over time, so it's better to wean him sooner rather than later."

Bai Zilin naturally had no objections; in fact, he was more than happy to do so, to prevent his son from competing with him for him: "I think it's a good idea. We'll separate him from his family when he turns two. Yesterday, he suddenly woke up and looked at me, which almost scared me away..."

Cola seemed to understand, and opened his mouth wide to cry. He waved his little hands to hit Bai Zilin. Buddha, Jade Emperor, what kind of father did you find for me? He takes my milk from me, and he takes my mother from me. A grown man bullying a baby like me. Why is my life so miserable?

Grandpa Jade Emperor, Uncle Erlang Shen, I want a different father! I want a different father! Can you hear me? I want a different father…! (_)

Liu Ye quickly took the sobbing Cola and said, "Oh, my sweet Cola, are you hungry again? We're not going to play with bad Daddy anymore. Mommy will take you to pick mangoes and strawberries. Our Cola loves picking strawberries the most, doesn't she?"

As if she understood, Cola immediately stopped crying, pointed her little finger outside, as if to say, "I want to go."
