Chapter 218 The Goddess Makes Her Move
Chiu Chiu now finally understands what it means to have two big heads; her tiny head is unusually heavy.
She pulled out a small stick from somewhere and used it to poke at the two stiff worms on the bed.
"two?"
Why are there two worms?
Noisy footsteps came from outside. Chiu Chiu, holding a small stick, forgot to pretend to be unconscious for a moment and happened to meet the eyes of Yuen Mu as he pushed open the door.
Chiu Chiu: [Oh no, is it too late for me to collapse now?]
Yuanmu hesitated: "Does the goddess still want to sleep?"
Chuchu looked puzzled. "Huh?"
A goddess, a goddess? Her?
The chubby little face shook, its plump cheeks looking incredibly bouncy. "Don't try to fool the gods, you'll be punished. Chirp isn't a goddess, she's a little hero going to save her family!"
Yuanmu tried her best to suppress the urge to offend the goddess, and lowered her head to tell Qiuqiu what had happened during the days she was unconscious.
Chiu Chiu only stayed in her original world for ten minutes, but ten days had passed here.
Their first three days in Hundred Flowers Village went smoothly; she even woke up after the exorcism performed by the Wishing Tree. Although the person involved was unaware of this…
She guessed it must be the evil laws here that were responsible! On the one hand, they wanted to kill themselves; on the other hand, they knew how to gradually bring about their own demise!
Chirp: Destroy it!
"Snap!"
Lightning flashed and thunder roared outside, and the sky instantly darkened.
Yuanmu wondered, "This kind of weather is rare in the Southwest..."
Chirping felt guilty...
Yuanmu: "It must be God punishing that traitor Naduohe!"
Chirp: "who?"
Yuanmu was taken aback, not understanding what Qiuqiu said. "Hu, hu... quickly prepare food for the goddess. Goddess, please eat first. Yuanmu will report the previous events to you from the side."
Chiu Chiu ended up filling her stomach by accident.
Chiu Chiu's soul departed, leaving only an empty body. Su Junyao and the others naturally couldn't accept this outcome. Yuan Mu believed his exorcism was flawless, but all the Gu masters in the village had confirmed that Chiu Chiu had successfully exorcised Gu before.
But before they could discuss it further, the formation in front of Hundred Flowers Village was broken. The traitor Na Duohe, who was the Southwest Gu King that Su Junyao had initially sought out, led a group of people into the village.
The other side came prepared and had an inside agent in the village beforehand...
"Our well water has been poisoned, and most people are unable to resist. Naduohe has captured your family and the village's Gu masters." Yuanmu wished he could tear the traitors to pieces—a bunch of greedy, heartless dogs!
Yuanmu protected Qiuqiu back then, and it was only because Yun Shuyue brought those people that she was able to escape with Qiuqiu. Now, only some old, young, sick, and disabled people remain in the underground palace left by their ancestors in Baihua Village.
Chiu Chiu suddenly realized that this was an underground palace, not a cellar!
The girl on the left, who had scraped some sweet potato and fed it to Qiuqiu, silently kicked away the scattered sweet potatoes and potatoes... This is not something a goddess should see!
But what can I do?
Looking at her empty hands, Qiuqiu felt that her intelligence had also been halved after her luck was reduced by half, and she couldn't think of any good solutions at all!
[I regret letting my godfather go.]
Impulsiveness is indeed the devil!
"Help, chirp... I'll beat you up..."
Yuanmu rejected Qiuqiu's idea, "Goddess, Naduohe is very powerful in the southwest. He uses Gu worms to control many people for the Shao family head, and the Shao family trusts him a lot. This could easily alarm the Shao family."
The Shao family is a large clan that has dominated this area for hundreds of years, with deeply entrenched influence. A single misstep could endanger everyone involved.
The villagers of Baihua Village fled from elsewhere, hiding here in seclusion because they could no longer endure the cruelty inflicted by the Shao family.
They just didn't expect that even after all this, the Shao family still wouldn't let them go!
But this time is different. With the goddess's protection, they will surely be able to turn defeat into victory!
Chiu Chiu had basically realized how difficult their situation was.
She was still recovering from her serious illness, and although the remaining insects had been forced out, she could only use her brain. The situation in Hundred Flowers Village was even worse; apart from Yuanmu, who was an adult, the rest were all little brats even less capable than her.
"It's so hard!" Chiu Chiu cried out in distress, her hair a mess from scratching, "It's so hard!"
[This is so difficult! It's really, really hard!]
“Nan…Nan?!” Yuanmu was puzzled as to why the goddess would be called Nan. According to the god's guidance, the goddess would definitely not say Nan; she must have another meaning. In Yuanmu's over-interpretation, she actually found a perfect reason: “The King of Zhennan!”
The Shao family's greatest enemy in the southwest is Prince Gu Qiuheng of Zhennan!
"Is the Goddess planning to use someone else to do her dirty work? We'll cooperate with the Prince of Zhennan, then use them to kill Shao Nianyi, and finally deal with Gu Qiuheng. The Goddess is indeed clever!"
Qiuqiu clung tightly to the young lady feeding her, not daring to utter a single word. She was afraid that if she made another sound, the young lady would go to the capital to assassinate the emperor.
Did she mention the Prince of Zhennan? It's more likely that Yuanmu is pretending to be weak to achieve his own goals by using her as a pretext!
However, the Prince of Zhennan...
[Um, I wonder if knowing the son of the Prince of Zhennan will be of any use!]
The handsome older brother doesn't seem to be very popular at home, and I wonder if his name can be used here.
Jiujiu fastened the jade pendant hanging from her waist. The beautiful double fish clasp had been carefully polished. It looked as if it had been caressed day and night for a long time, and the smooth texture even gave Jiujiu the illusion that she could feel its warmth.
The bold get rich, the timid starve!
"go!"
Chuchu exuded an air of domineering confidence. Although she didn't know the way, it didn't stop her from randomly pointing to the door, shouting, "Help! Sound!"
Yuanmu was overjoyed: "Yuanmu thanks the goddess on behalf of the Hundred Flowers Clan! Ah Xia, pack your things, we're heading to Cloud City now!"
Yuncheng is the central city of the southwest region. Gu Qiuheng's fiefdom is located here, as is the old residence of the Shao family, one of the most prestigious families in China.
Yuanmu hasn't been to Yuncheng for almost fifteen years, but this time, the goddess will take back everything that Baihua has lost!
Chirp chirp: "Achoo!"
She sniffed, looking slightly confused. "Huh?"
Chiu Chiu: I never said that! Don't believe or spread rumors!
Baihua Village was located in a remote area, and it took them several days to reach Yuncheng. Along the way, Qiuqiu ate so many sweet potatoes that her bottom smelled like sweet potatoes…it was stinky!
She glanced sadly at the bamboo basket on Xia's back. Who would have thought they were so poor!
They had no money when they went out, so they relied entirely on bringing their own sweet potatoes. She thought the people of Hundred Flowers Village didn't stay home not because they were avoiding enemies, but because they were poor!
When Yuanmu discussed with the waiter for the third time whether they could use the cost of a three-person dormitory room to book a six-person dormitory room, the boss couldn't sit still anymore.
"Young Master, you've finally arrived in the Southwest!"
The shopkeeper glared at Yuanmu with the same look he'd given a human trafficker, "If there's any danger, just blink. No one in Yuncheng dares to touch anyone from our Zhennan Prince's Mansion!"
