Sisi did not see Wu Guoguo's spirit. She firmly believed that Wu Guoguo was not dead and guarded Xie Yan's body, not allowing anyone to approach.
"What happened? You were standing perfectly fine on the city wall, how did you fall down?"
Zhou Erqian couldn't contain his anger. Lao Wu was dead, because of that brat. Her bad luck was clearly over, so why did she start to bring misfortune to Lao Wu again?
Sisi didn't say anything. Qin cried, "We were all unconscious at the time, and when we woke up, we saw Sisi crying. The fifth son's body was already cold."
After talking for so long, all he said was nonsense. Zhou Erqian grabbed his hair in frustration.
After that rain, the wheat came back to life, and ears of wheat grew. The madmen who had been tearing at the city lord were also sobered up by the rain. Now, the city lord is leading everyone in the city to harvest the wheat.
The food crisis was over, and everyone was no longer starving, but then, the fifth brother suddenly died!
Zhou Erqian couldn't accept it. He impulsively stepped forward and grabbed the little guy's arm, shouting, "Say something!"
"Wu Guoguo won't die!" Sisi shook off his hand, her big eyes red and full of stubbornness.
"Ha, he's already dead, you..."
Qin pressed down on Zhou Erqian and cried, "Sisi, don't you have a medicine that can bring the dead back to life? Quickly give Lao Wu some medicine!"
"I've already had it."
When Wu Guoguo didn't answer her under the city wall, she took out Guanyin's spiritual spring dew.
But Wu Guoguo drank it and there was no effect.
Qin said in despair, "He drank it but still didn't come back to life. Why is God so cruel to the fifth son? Everyone else can live, why can't the fifth son live!"
Everyone has their own destiny.
The old lady looked out the window. Upon closer inspection, her hair had turned even whiter, and her cloudy eyes were filled with gloom.
"Pack him up and let him rest in peace."
Zhou Erqian slumped to the ground, burying his head in his hands. When no one was watching, his tears fell silently.
Qin fainted from crying because of those words.
Zhou Dawei, who had been silent all along, stood up. Now that the Zhou family was in disarray, he had to support himself and them.
"Sisi, stop hugging him."
Sisi didn't let go. "Big Brother, Fifth Brother won't die. He'll come back to life."
These words sounded like a joke to everyone. Zhou Dawei moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
He then looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, since we're staying at the City Lord's Mansion now, we can't hold the funeral there. How about I go find a house outside and rent it for a couple of days?"
"Whose house would you rent to hold a funeral?" the old woman asked weakly. "Let's buy a small house to use for now. The Huns are coming soon, and we don't know if we should run away."
Zhou Dawei nodded and went out.
When the villagers of Peach Blossom Village who had been rescued heard that Xie Yan had died, they all came to see him, offering words of comfort and blaming themselves. The old lady did not want to listen and had her maid chase them away.
...
Inside an inn in the city.
Zhuang Rongrong was suddenly thrown to the ground, with the Soul-Capturing Umbrella right above her head, shrouded in black mist.
"explain."
He sat motionless in his chair, a cup of tea in his hand, but he had no interest in drinking it; his eyes were fixed on her.
"Fourth Brother, I...I was frightened, could you..." Zhuang Rongrong tried to bluff her way out.
Yu Chen's gaze suddenly shot over, "No."
She was trembling all over.
This was her last trump card; if she told Yu Chen so easily, he would definitely kill her.
Zhuang Rongrong choked back tears, "Fourth Brother, don't you care about the kindness of me saving you? If it weren't for me, you would have been annihilated!"
"I've saved you twice."
"I don't want my soul to be scattered. Please, Fourth Brother, I beg you, please save me this time too?"
The teacup slammed onto the table, and the speaker, losing patience, said, "Zhuang Rongrong, have you forgotten what I just said? I told you, this is your last chance."
"You...no..."
Zhuang Rongrong shook her head and stepped back, "Don't you want to know who that person is? Don't you... uh..."
He gripped her neck, his dark eyes intense. "It's Xiao Wu, isn't it?"
Zhuang Rongrong's eyes widened, and the next second, her soul turned to ashes, and countless black wisps of energy entered the Soul-Capturing Umbrella.
The umbrella closed, and Chen withdrew his hand.
Xiao Wu, he should have realized it was Xiao Wu's.
He wouldn't have joined the Zhou family for no reason, nor would he have fallen into the mountains of Peach Blossom Village after being punished by heavenly lightning. He had been warned long ago, but he just didn't understand.
Today, on the city wall, Xiao Wu was covered in black aura. Only then did he realize that Zhuang Rongrong had been hanging him up for so long.
He has to go to the city lord's mansion.
"Princess, stop guarding him." Xiaobai was extremely sad. The princess had been guarding him for a whole day without eating or drinking, and she had lost a lot of weight.
Little Gem nodded in agreement, but it was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything comforting; it could only shed tears.
"I'm fine."
Sisi couldn't believe that Wu Guoguo was dead just like that; he was the Great Demon King!
How could the Great Demon King die so easily?
She had to stay and prevent them from burying him.
"Princess, princess, there's a bad guy!"
Little White fluttered its wings and squawked. Yu Chen at the door glanced at it, and it shut its mouth.
Little Gem bared its teeth at him warily, "Don't come any closer! Don't get near the princess!"
"Princess?" Yu Chen frowned slightly, then thought it might just be a term of address among the little ones, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
"Get out of the way!"
Little Gem was frightened, but didn't budge an inch. "I won't let you! Get away from me, you big bad guy!"
With a cold, piercing gaze, he said, "Get out of the way!"
"Fourth Master, what are you doing here?"
"It's none of your business." He lowered his dark eyes. "Zhou Sisi, if Xiao Wu hadn't saved you today, he wouldn't have died at all. What face do you have to stay by his side?"
Sisi's eyes were red and she couldn't speak.
Wu Guoguo did indeed die trying to save her.
It's all her fault.
"Get out of the way, don't delay me from saving people."
Sisi panicked when she saw him grab the umbrella, and clung to Xie Yan, crying out, "What are you trying to do? Fourth Brother, don't hurt Fifth Brother!"
"I'll save him."
"Don't lie to me. The Soul-Capturing Umbrella is clearly for taking people's souls. You want Wu Guoguo to die. You're a bad person."
The little one sobbed uncontrollably.
Wu Guoguo's soul is still intact, but if Si Guoguo uses the Soul-Capturing Umbrella to take away his soul, he will truly die.
I'm too lazy to waste my breath talking to her. A three-and-a-half-year-old is just noisy, and talking to her is a waste of time!
He threw the Soul-Capturing Umbrella over Xie Yan's head.
Sisi frantically tiptoed to reach it, but it was too high for her to reach. She then climbed onto the bed, but the umbrella seemed to be deliberately avoiding her, not letting her get close.
Sisi was furious.
The lightning struck Yu Chen, and he resisted with all his might, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Fourth Master, put away the Soul-Capturing Umbrella!"
The little guy's eyes flashed with golden light, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Ignoring her warning, he used all his strength to activate the Soul-Capturing Umbrella!
Countless black wisps entered Xie Yan's body, and Sisi's anger intensified. "Fourth Brother, don't blame Sisi!"
Boom!
Several bolts of lightning struck down, and Shen coughed up blood. With his last bit of strength, he saw the Soul-Capturing Umbrella fully open before collapsing to the ground.
