The crowd below was in a frenzy, and they all shouted that they wanted to burn her alive!
"Hahaha, ask her, do you dare?"
Chen Yunniang pointed at Su Yujiao, her face beaming with arrogance.
The crowd grew even angrier at her disrespectful behavior towards the saint, and some even climbed onto the platform, wanting to teach her a lesson themselves.
"Hahaha, since you've come here looking for death, then so be it."
The next second, Chen Yunniang flicked her finger, and a drop of blood flew into the man's eye. The man rubbed his eye and continued forward.
As Chen Yunniang retreated, she laughed sarcastically. Just as the man approached with his fist raised, she gently shook the bell in her hand, and the man stopped moving.
The bell was naturally hidden in the sleeve, so others couldn't hear it, but Zi Gu could sense it.
"Go down."
Chen Yunniang kicked the person off the platform, and soon screams erupted from the crowd.
The man had clearly died from the fall, yet he stood up in a distorted manner, his eyes gray and his movements slow.
Just as everyone was wondering about his transformation, the man suddenly opened his blood-red maw, pounced on the person next to him, and bit off that person's neck.
The bloody scene horrified everyone; people screamed and ran away, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
Immediately afterward, the person who had been bitten to death actually moved, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs turned grayish-white.
Then his entire body stood up in a miraculously twisted and bizarre posture, a sight that terrified everyone.
The two Gu people began to bite people frantically, and those bitten would quickly mutate within minutes and become new Gu people.
Zombies?
This was Su Yujiao's first reaction; after all, seeing this situation, it was hard not to think of zombies.
Nan Sheng stared wide-eyed in shock, her expression more serious than ever before: "Holy Maiden, what exactly is going on?"
Su Yujiao explained, "It must have been Chen Yunniang who put some kind of contagious Gu on the first person."
"Those who are afflicted by the Gu will go mad and bite others. Those who are bitten will be infected and will also go mad and bite others."
When Nan Sheng heard the word "infectious," her first thought was of plague, and she turned even paler with fright.
How can this be controlled?
"Can these monsters be killed?"
"That person was clearly bitten to death, but then he got up again."
The thought that all the people of the Southern Frontier Kingdom would eventually become these immortal monsters terrified him.
Su Yujiao observed for a while, and one of the Gu people pounced on a guard holding a large knife. The terrified guard chopped off his head with one blow, and then the Gu people stopped moving.
In other cases, whether you cut off hands or feet, or stab someone with a knife or shoot an arrow, it won't work.
"Have the guards cut off their heads, but try not to get their blood on them, as it can spread through the wounds and mouth and nose."
"These Gu people must be brought under control as soon as possible, and not a single one can be taken away, otherwise things will get completely out of control."
The Southern Prince immediately shouted, "Men, cover their mouths and noses, and cut off their heads. Only in this way will these monsters truly die!"
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the guards immediately calmed down. As long as the opponent had a fatal weakness, they were no longer afraid.
Their fear stemmed entirely from never having seen such a terrifying monster before, one that was impossible to kill; they were already panicked from the bottom of their hearts.
Nan Sheng mobilized all the troops that could be summoned from the capital, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
All the Gu people were killed, then oil was poured on them, and they were all burned.
What will happen to her?
Nan Sheng looked in Chen Yunniang's direction, feeling apprehensive.
With such a powerful and vicious Gu poison in her possession, even if someone wanted to capture her, no one would dare to approach her.
Su Yujiao could only resort to the old method, electrocuting herself until she was stunned. The feeling of being electrocuted was truly unpleasant.
Chen Yunniang fainted on the altar, and only then did someone dare to go up and grab her.
Even so, the guards who went up were all very careful, for fear of being turned into immortal monsters.
Chen Yunniang was arrested again, and she also summarized the lessons learned from this failure.
There are too few people; they can only win by cultivating enough Gu people.
That bitch Su Yujiao is practically her nemesis.
This time, she wasn't treated so well. After being searched, she was locked naked in the same dark room as before.
This prevents her from hiding anything on her.
Then, every day, throw a steamed bun and a bag of water through the small window in the iron gate, just enough to keep her alive.
If the steamed buns and water are thrown too far or too far away, out of her reach by the iron chain, then she will go hungry.
Since no one dared to approach her, she naturally took care of her bodily functions, such as defecating and acting cute, in the dark room.
The dark room was filled with the pungent, irritating smell of feces and urine every day.
This makes her range of movement smaller and smaller; she can't possibly sleep on excrement and urine.
What she found most unbearable was that sometimes steamed buns and water would be thrown on excrement and urine, leaving her unsure whether to eat them or not.
Su Yujiao wasn't greatly affected, except that she occasionally experienced intense dizziness and hunger.
But it's okay, just think of it as low blood sugar. Eating a piece of chocolate will relieve the discomfort.
As for the occasional abrasions on her wrists and ankles, she endured them, determined not to let Chen Yunniang have an easy time.
She will remember the grudge of kidnapping An'an for the rest of her life!
Under Nan Sheng's arrangement, Su Yujiao performed the moon-worshiping ceremony again, which was considered a formal public confirmation of her status as a saintess.
This can be seen as a reassuring measure for the public.
After all, that biting monster was terrifying.
After the moon-worshiping ceremony, Su Yujiao hurried home because she had an important matter to attend to.
As for the struggle between Nan Sheng and the First Prince, she will not get involved.
She believed that Nan Sheng and the Empress could defeat the weak and outnumbered First Prince.
On the way back, she sent a large group of people to find Master Xuanqing.
We don't need too many people to protect us.
The guards all knew that she was the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom and possessed the Dragon-Snake Jade, so no one could easily harm her.
"Miss, you're finally back! Waaaaah!" Xiao Tao rushed over and cried excitedly.
God knows how much fear she endured during that time.
"It's alright, I'm back safely, aren't I?"
"Don't worry, we're safe now."
Without Chen Yunniang's crucial assistance, Chu Zhongyuan won't be able to cause any significant trouble in the short term.
Moreover, the royal family is still searching for him everywhere.
Therefore, when he picks it up, he can only hide and won't make any big moves.
"Mommy, hug me."
"Mother, kisses."
Two little bundles of joy waddled out and gave each other a kiss and a hug.
Momo was still a little tearful, her little mouth was pouting, and her big, watery eyes were filled with tears that seemed ready to fall at any moment.
Su Yujiao felt an overwhelming pang of heartache seeing her daughter's pitiful and aggrieved appearance.
My nose tingled and I almost cried. I hugged the child and kissed him several times.
"Mommy, hug me. Mommy's little baby is the best."
It would have been better if she hadn't tried to comfort her; the moment she did, the little girl burst into tears, feeling wronged.
