Chapter 44
Perhaps because Wen Mufeng was the first person to come to Qiao Family Manor, Wen Mufeng looked at Xiao Chenbei and Xie Wuyu with contempt.
Xiao Chenbei had never had a smooth life since he was a child, and he had never suffered such humiliation. He immediately wanted to compete with Wen Mufeng.
But Xie Wuyu stepped forward to stop him.
"Since everyone has come here, it means that everyone has the same idea. Why don't we all live in peace for a while, and talk about other things after we have dealt with the matter of Qiao Family Manor?"
Xie Wuyu has the lowest cultivation among the three. If they fight, he will definitely not be a match for the other two, so he stopped Xiao Chenbei, who has a lower cultivation, and seemed to be trying to make peace, but in fact he stood with Xiao Chenbei and faced Wen Mufeng together.
With Xie Wuyu as a ladder, Xiao Chenbei quickly calmed down and stopped talking.
Only Wen Mufeng, who originally looked down on Xiao Chenbei, sneered after landing on Xie Wuyu: "Ha..."
Xie Wuyu met Wen Mufeng's eyes, and for some reason, he felt a guilty feeling of being completely seen through.
However, Wen Mufeng did not say anything.
Xie Wuyu calmed down and revealed all the information he had obtained so far.
He came to Qiaojiazhuang last, but he was delayed for some time after falling into the mortal world with the members of the mermaid tribe.
These days, based on the information revealed in Jiang Yunmiao's inner voice, he guessed and connected the things said in Jiang Yunmiao's inner voice together and came to a shocking truth.
That is, the world they live in now is a storybook world with him and Xiao Chenbei as the male and female protagonists. He is the heroine in the storybook, and Xiao Chenbei is the hero.
It was because of this information that Xie Wuyu took advantage of Jiang Yunmiao when he entered the differentiation period early after accidentally eating the flesh and blood of the Fragrant Mist Beast. He differentiated into a male mermaid during the differentiation.
He wanted to break the plot, but the subsequent plot, although different from the plot development mentioned in Jiang Yunmiao's voice, the final result was strangely overlapped.
In particular, at first he thought that only the male protagonist Xiao Chenbei and himself, the "female protagonist", could hear Jiang Yunmiao's voice. It was not
until Xiao Zimo was bitten by the red-headed arrow leaf snake in the secret realm of the South China Sea that he began to realize that it seemed that the villain Wen Mufeng could also hear Jiang Yunmiao's voice.
Especially after Xiao Zimo was bitten by the red-headed leaf snake, Wen Mufeng even knocked away Xiao Zimo's pills for treating snake venom and directly used the power of the dragon bone to treat Xiao Zimo.
Xiao Zimo's poisoning was too bizarre, and Wen Mufeng's behavior of using the dragon bone to drive away the snake venom was even more bizarre. It was Wen Mufeng's behavior that made Xie Wuyu more certain that Wen Mufeng should also be able to hear Jiang Yunmiao's thoughts. When
Xie Wuyu realized this, he was shocked. You know, he knew that before this, he had no idea that Wen Mufeng could also hear Jiang Yunmiao's thoughts.
Xie Wuyu stopped Xiao Chenbei this time, in addition to the fact that Wen Mufeng was the one with the highest cultivation among the three people, there was another point. He suspected that maybe Wen Mufeng was also controlled by some "small barrels" like Jiang Yunmiao, and needed to complete the so-called "mission"?
Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Wen Mufeng, who had poisonous blood and needed to rely on dragon bones to cleanse his marrow to survive, actually gave up his chance to survive in order to complete Jiang Yunmiao's mission smoothly?

The villagers of Qiaojiazhuang prayed for a good day for the sacrifice in the mountain temple in three days.
Time was a bit tight. After returning from the mountain temple, the entire Qiaojiazhuang began to prepare the items needed for the sacrifice three days later.
Qiao Dali's little daughter Qiao Meimei was locked up in the maiden's room to prepare for her wedding as the bride of the mountain god. She was not allowed to go out.
Jiang Yunmiao thought about it and finally came up with only one idea, which was to marry Qiao Meimei in place of her and pretend to be the bride of the mountain god to see what kind of mountain god this mountain god who came to Qiao Family Manor for a bride every year was.
However, Jiang Yunmiao did not tell Wen Mufeng and the others about this plan.
Now Wen Xiaoxie and the other two did not know what kind of agreement they had reached. In front of the villagers of Qiao Family Manor, the three of them pretended to be Jiang Yunmiao's bodyguards. After finding Jiang Yunmiao, they never mentioned going back to Xianliu Island.
Although Jiang Yunmiao was somewhat confused, she would not say anything unless the three mentioned it. She pretended not to know. It would be best to wait until the task temporarily issued by the Earth Dog System was completed before bringing it up.
The Earth Dog System was now parasitic on Xiao Huang, the dog of Qiao Dali's family. If Xiao Huang was far away from Jiang Yunmiao, there would be no way to communicate with her. Therefore, Jiang Yunmiao pretended to like Xiao Huang very much and bought Xiao Huang with Qiao Dali.
On the first night when Qiao Meimei was locked up in the lady's room, Jiang Yunmiao and the Earth Dog System acted out a play, pretending that it was the Earth Dog System that ran into Qiao Meimei's room, knocked on Qiao Meimei's door in the middle of the night, and sneaked in.
Qiao Meimei was young and was very scared about offering sacrifices to the mountain god. She was soon persuaded by Jiang Yunmiao.
But she was still a little girl after all. Although she was tempted by Jiang Yunmiao's proposal to marry her off, she did not dare to accept it directly. Instead, she timidly said that she needed to discuss it with her father Qiao Dali. She was worried that if the mountain god knew about the bride change, he would punish the villagers of Qiaojiazhuang.
After all, the matter of changing brides had never happened before in so many years. This matter concerned the entire Qiaojiazhuang. Although Qiao Meimei was greedy and afraid of death, she did not dare to gamble with the lives of the entire Qiaojiazhuang.
Hearing what Qiao Meimei said, Jiang Yunmiao carefully looked at this little girl who had just come of age, and there was a little more approval in her eyes.
Jiang Yunmiao said to himself that if he was just an ordinary mortal, knowing that he would be sacrificed to the mountain god as a bride, he would definitely be very happy to accept the proposal when someone came to marry him.
But no matter how scared and tempted the girl was, she still didn't agree to it. Instead, she asked the adults at home whether her actions would bring bad luck to other people in Qiao's Manor. If
Jiang Yunmiao was only thinking about completing the task before talking to Qiao Meimei, then after the conversation, she was thinking about solving the problem of the mountain god before leaving Qiao's Manor.
Qiao Dali rejected Jiang Yunmiao's proposal at the first time.
It's not that Qiao Dali is so noble, or that the bride chosen by lot in Qiao Family Manor cannot be replaced, but after Wen Mufeng and his group came one after another, Qiao Dali had a deeper guess about Jiang Yunmiao's identity.
With people like Wen Mufeng as guards, Jiang Yunmiao's identity must not be what she said, just the daughter of an ordinary rich family, or even the daughter of an official.
The daughter of Mr. Guan volunteered to be the sacrificial bride of the mountain god in their Qiao Family Manor. No one would believe it if they told others about it. When Mr. Guan comes looking for her, I'm afraid that all the people in the Qiao Family Manor will be dead.
Jiang Yunmiao saw his doubts and immediately showed him his skills. He also made up a new identity of a young lady from a family of immortal cultivators, saying that she came here just to solve the problem of the mountain god.
Qiao Dali was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow to Jiang Yunmiao to thank him.
After confirming that Jiang Yunmiao would marry in place of her, Qiao Meimei's wedding dress needed to be altered, after all, her figure was too different from Jiang Yunmiao's.
Soon, the three days were up.
Jiang Yunmiao put on the fiery red wedding dress and sat in the flower sedan chair for the mountain god to marry his wife instead of Qiao Meimei.
According to custom, the sedan chair circled the front of Qiao Dali's house three times after it was lifted, and then circled the entire Qiao's farm before it began to move towards the mountain god temple.
For safety reasons, Jiang Yunmiao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention before getting on the sedan chair and quietly held the local dog system in his arms and took the sedan chair with him. When
the sedan chair arrived in front of the mountain god temple, the people who were knocking and banging along the way stopped immediately after the sedan chair was lifted into the mountain god temple.
All the people calmed down at the same time, and after quietly lifting the sedan chair into the mountain god temple, they quietly closed the temple door and then returned along the same route when they sent the bride.
Jiang Yunmiao sat in the sedan chair, motionless.
The storage bag that Jiang Yifei prepared for her could be called the pocket of the fairy version of Doraemon. Jiang Yunmiao would always find all kinds of strange but very useful things when she searched inside.
For example, the Demon-Slaying Bell that she was holding in her palm now.
The Demon-Slaying Bell looks like a small and exquisite bell. It has no other function except that it has a very sharp perception ability and can quickly detect the location of the demonic energy.
The last time the villagers of Qiaojiazhuang came to inquire about the date of the mountain god's wedding, Jiang Yunmiao secretly tried the Demon-Slaying Bell, but did not sense any demonic energy, so she thought of pretending to be the bride of the mountain god and personally came to find out what this so-called mountain god is.
Jiang Yunmiao waited for a while, and suddenly felt a breeze blowing up the curtain of her sedan chair.
As the breeze moved, the demon-suppressing bell in her hand began to tremble violently.
Jiang Yunmiao was delighted, it was coming.
Being extremely alert, Jiang Yunmiao waited for the "mountain god" to come and help her get off the sedan chair.
But Jiang Yunmiao waited for a long time, and the breeze only opened the door of the sedan chair, and there was no other movement. Just
when Jiang Yunmiao was a little confused, suddenly a very charming voice came to her ears: "Why does the little bride sent this time... look like a brave one?"
The voice lingered in Jiang Yunmiao's ears in 360 degrees, and she couldn't tell the direction from which the voice came.
Normally, the demon disguised as the "mountain god" had spoken, and the demon-slaying bell in Jiang Yunmiao's hand should have been able to find the demon's location more easily. However, the demon-slaying bell, which should have been moving at this time, was silent.
Jiang Yunmiao was shocked, wondering if the Earth Dog System had hidden something from him: [System, tell me honestly, is there something wrong with this mountain god? ! Are you trying to harm me? ]
The Earth Dog System rubbed Jiang Yunmiao's hand and defended himself aggrievedly: [Host, I am innocent! The mission given to me by the Lord God is to assist you in completing the bride sacrifice at the mountain temple in Qiaojia Village. How could I harm you? 】
"Heh... the little bride also brought a small gift?"
Just as the Earth Dog System rubbed Jiang Yunmiao, the breeze that had previously opened the door of the sedan chair appeared again, and directly detained the Earth Dog System that was covered by Jiang Yunmiao's sleeve.
Jiang Yunmiao was startled, and before she could react, she felt her knees lighten, and some gentle force directly took the little yellow in her hand out.
At the same time, the demon-suppressing bell in her hand began to shake violently.
