Chapter 234 Fortune Telling Time Ended "...That's it?..."
"...That's it?" Li Feng clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and frowned.
Suhe wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, leaned wearily against her husband, and after letting out a heavy sigh, said, "Otherwise what? Two of us will die?"
Li Feng coughed awkwardly a few times, then looked at An Wen.
An Wen ignored him and instead looked at Sang Zhitao: "Are you alright now?"
Sang Zhitao nodded before looking at Li Feng and saying, "I already said, I'm going to unleash my ultimate move."
"That's amazing!" Li Feng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"That's right, don't you know who I am?" Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow smugly.
Li Feng nodded in agreement: "He truly deserves to be called the savior."
Sang Zhitao looked down at the jade heart in her hand and swallowed again.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Suhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Go ahead and eat, what are you afraid of?"
Sang Zhitao looked around.
Around the altar in the darkness lay piles of white bones, and a gentle breeze rustled through the surrounding forest, making the leaves flutter.
The moon hid behind the clouds, its faint light shining through the thin veil onto the stark white bones.
Skeletons surrounded a dilapidated altar, and a group of wounded people made the scene look eerie.
“This occasion… isn’t quite appropriate.” Sang Zhitao didn’t elaborate further.
The rules of this world are very similar to those of Earth, and the development is also similar. There are some things that ordinary people cannot understand. She also does not want good police officers like An Wen and Li Feng, who are dedicated to protecting the people, to be controlled and restricted because of the secrets of this other world.
Seeing that she had lowered her eyes and didn't intend to go into details, Suhe's brow twitched, and she had a feeling that something that might shatter her worldview was about to happen.
After thinking for a moment, Suhe stopped dwelling on the question and instead asked something else: "What do we do now?"
Sang Zhitao looked at Qinglan and said, "Let these skeletons go back to where they came from."
Qinglan smiled and agreed, then turned and walked down to the altar.
An Wen frowned and asked, "These are all considered physical evidence. After all, so many people died. I need to report this."
Li Feng nodded in agreement: "There are over a hundred people here, so it can be considered a large-scale death incident."
"Don't touch these remains yet. I'll contact the forensic center in the corner of my mouth."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "No need for a forensic doctor, these are all bones that have been dead for many years."
Li Feng and An Wen were stunned and looked at her blankly.
Instead of explaining directly to them, Sang Zhitao slightly raised her chin, gesturing for them to look at Qinglan below the altar.
Qinglan stood before the skeleton, took off a dozen silver beads from her body, clasped her hands together, recited a spell, and then scattered the beads.
In an instant, more than a dozen skeletons on the ground vanished.
She repeated this process more than ten times until the bones scattered on the ground finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
"What is this...?" An Wen struggled to his feet and walked toward Qinglan in confusion.
Qinglan straightened his clothes before smiling and explaining to her, "These are evil people who are to be punished, but they haven't finished their punishment yet, so I'm borrowing their remains."
"As expected of Funeral Valley, their ability to manipulate corpses is truly impressive," Suhe couldn't help but exclaim as she sat down on the ground.
Qinglan smiled slightly and nodded to her: "Thank you for your help, Master Zhitian clan. My Fuguan clan almost caused a great disaster. Now we will definitely give the world an explanation."
Suhe watched as Daosang Zhitao played with Li Feng while holding a baby bottle. After looking away, she turned to Qinglan and said with a smile, "Perhaps everything you, the Funeral Valley, did was already on the trajectory of fate."
Qinglan paused, glanced at her in surprise, and then suddenly looked at Sang Zhitao as if she had just realized something: "How...how is this possible?"
Suhe shrugged: "Who knows? After all, no one expected that the savior and she were master and disciple..."
Qinglan bit her lip, looking at Sang Zhitao laughing uproariously not far away. She couldn't believe that the scheming of the Burial Valley over the past thousand years was nothing more than the manipulation of death.
Sang Zhitao felt a strange gaze directed at her, and when she turned her head, she saw Su He and Qinglan.
Suhe greeted her with a smile, appearing completely normal.
On the contrary, Qinglan's eyes were filled with inquiry and fear, as if she was frightened by her.
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but touch her face, then glanced at Qinglan, and couldn't help but ask the coffin-bearer beside her who was making milk for her, "Is your master a slow-paced person?"
Fu Guanshi was taken aback by these words and nodded blankly.
Master Qinglan is indeed a slow-paced person. Back in the Funeral Valley, she was never impatient and always did things at a leisurely pace, sometimes even irritating the more impatient people.
Sang Zhitao suddenly realized that Qinglan was indeed frightened by her action of killing Yuwen, but she was just slow to react and only realized it now.
"His reaction time is quite long..." she couldn't help but mutter.
"What?" Sang Zhitao's voice wasn't loud, and it was even softer to Fu Guanshi, who was focused on making milk, so much so that she didn't hear it at all.
"It's nothing." Sang Zhitao took the bottle, took a sip, and smacked her lips. "Shouldn't I be eating solid food at my age?"
"Three years old... he should be able to eat normal food by now, right?" Li Feng rummaged around in his pocket for a while before finally pulling out a chocolate. "Want to try some?"
"Is she actually a bird? Can she eat chocolate?" An Wen asked curiously as he leaned closer.
Sang Zhitao's mouth was so dry from drinking milk that it was practically tasteless, but now that she saw her favorite chocolate, her mouth watered uncontrollably.
"My true form is a phoenix, I can eat anything!" She took the chocolate directly, stuffed it into her mouth, and then replied in a muffled voice.
Seeing her wolfing down her food, An Wen couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Fine..."
"Speaking of which, everything's been resolved. I'll treat you to something nice when we get back~" Seeing how cute Sang Zhitao's actions were, Li Feng couldn't help but pick her up and bounce her around in his arms.
Upon seeing this, Fu Guanshi's face darkened for a moment, and he couldn't help but step forward and snatch Sang Zhitao into his arms.
Although Li Feng already knew that Fu Guanshi and Qinglan would no longer harm Sang Zhitao, he was still wary because of Fu Guanshi's previous kidnapping of Sang Zhitao.
Seeing this, Fu Guanshi's expression darkened. She bit her lip and stuffed Sang Zhitao back into his arms.
Sang Zhitao didn't care about Fu Guanshi's disappointment. Instead, she looked at Su He and shouted, "I need to see the highest ruler of this country."
Su He paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll make the contact now, and we'll head directly to the capital."
Li Feng and An Wen exchanged a glance, then silently kept quiet, refraining from asking further questions.
Time didn't pass quickly while waiting. When the stars filled the sky and it was already midnight, the helicopter and rescuers finally arrived at the small village hidden deep in the mountains.
Sang Zhitao, held by Suhe, boarded a plane with Jinmai bound for Beijing.
The others remained on site to treat their wounds and complete follow-up tasks.
"Hello, Savior Peach." The ruler of this country was a very beautiful woman. She didn't look very old, but her eyes were clear, and she was obviously a righteous person. "I am Governor Silvermoon."
Sang Zhitao nodded to her before taking the emerald green jade heart out of her pocket: "After I absorb this heart, a trading channel will open, and you can make a deal with my source world."
“I see.” Governor Silvermoon nodded. “So this was the opportunity that appeared along with the global crisis a thousand years ago.”
"An opportunity?" Sang Zhitao was taken aback. "You know about this?"
Silvermoon smiled and nodded: "This is a secret that only the governor knows."
“A thousand years ago, the emperor at that time received a divine oracle that there would be a world crisis. When the Celestial Master came out of seclusion, he brought out an egg, and along with the egg came a divine oracle.”
"The oracle said that a great opportunity would arise from the global crisis a thousand years from now, an opportunity that could bring about an upgrade to our world. Rulers throughout history have been looking for signs of this opportunity, but they never expected it to happen to you."
Upon hearing this, Sang Zhitao felt a warmth in her heart. Although she had forcibly added a part of herself into the river of time to facilitate going to the teachers' worlds to help them overcome the global crisis.
However, in order to prevent her from being forcibly washed away by the river of time and thus erased from existence, she could only insert a reasonable plot into the novel.
They dared not do anything else without this, and such a divine oracle, which was clearly meant to protect the savior, could not possibly exist.
Thinking this way, Sang Zhitao understood that this must be a protection left for her by the world consciousness of this world.
"I look forward to collaborating with another world."
To outsiders, all those thoughts were but fleeting moments, and the governor's words brought Sang Zhitao back to her senses.
"Shall I start now?" Sang Zhitao looked around.
They are now in a spacious square, which they were informed of in advance, located within the highest-level government building in the country.
It perfectly meets Sang Zhitao's requirements for privacy, security, and a large enough space.
"Hmm." Sang Zhitao nodded, looking at the heart in her hand, no longer suppressing her appetite, and stuffed the heart into her mouth.
"Crack!" This jade heart has a very crisp texture.
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but smack her lips. It was cucumber flavored! She couldn't help but say, "To be honest, it's a bit bland."
Suhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shall I prepare some dipping sauce for you?"
Sang Zhitao looked up at her, noting that two-thirds of the heart remained, and asked, "Is it okay?"
Suhe glanced at her helplessly: "Then wait for me to prepare the dipping sauce for you."
Sang Zhitao looked down at the heart in her hand, hesitated for a moment, but her appetite finally prevailed: "Never mind, I'll just eat it like this."
Before anyone could react, it quickly devoured the entire heart.
Just as she finished eating, the jade pendant inside her body appeared...
Unlike before, this time Sang Zhitao did not enter the memory space, nor was she surrounded by the cocoon. Instead, she could see the jade pendant floating to the center of the square and spinning around the open space hundreds of times.
Then the green threads that emanated from the jade pendant formed a door in mid-air that looked like it was made of silk threads.
What followed was communication and exchange between the two worlds.
Sang Zhitao ignored all of that and was instead carried by Suhe and handed over to Jinmai, who then took her on a fun-filled tour of the capital.
