For the next month, Shen Shaoyan and Jimo Yuan never came to my house again.
I was worried that July would be depressed, but I was obviously worrying too much. She ate and drank as usual, and in her free time she played with her children and read storybooks. She didn't look sad at all.
I finally let go of the worry in my heart, as long as she doesn't hate me.
Because the Da Mo people came to my house for no reason, General Wu became suspicious of me and temporarily removed me from my position. Without my advice, the Xirong people were vulnerable and Da Mo took back three cities in one go.
General Wu was afraid that His Majesty would be furious, so he came to me immediately to ask for advice.
Following my strategy, we burned the food supplies of the Da Mo army and adopted flexible combat methods. We held out for another month and waited for the reinforcements from the Western Rong army.
The new commander-in-chief of the army is stubborn and self-willed. He refused to listen to my advice and insisted on having a head-on confrontation with Da Mo.
He didn't even think about the fact that the Da Mo soldiers had been tricked by me so many times, and now they were furious and wanted to pull us out and beat us to death. Once they had a head-on confrontation, our morale would be lower.
As expected, we lost the battle and lost Stone Realm City.
As I retreated with July and the child, I felt ashamed that I had not given them the stable life I had promised them. At the same time, I silently vowed to give her a better life in the future to compensate her for the bumpy ride.
However, the identities of Lu Jiuqing and Lu Yanzhou were discovered. July stayed behind in the chaos, and I found Jimo Yuan and Shen Shaoyan with the two children.
In the anxious waiting, the Mexican soldiers looked at me with contempt and disdain, and I heard them secretly calling me a traitor.
Say whatever you want, I don’t mind.
There is no place for me in Mo. I have now defected to Xirong. My stance is different from theirs, so there is nothing to explain.
Jimo Yuan and Shen Shaoyan were surprised by my arrival. They must have thought that I was walking into a trap. I handed the child to them, one to each of them, and they were shocked again.
Lu Jiuqing and Lu Yunyao didn't like them, so when I called me "Dad" in front of them, I could clearly feel their faces darken. There was a hint of secret joy in their hearts, but it was only instantly overshadowed by their worry and anxiety about July.
After resolving my worries and ensuring that someone is taking care of the child, I will go back to save July.
Chen Shaoyan was with me, and we were secretly competing with each other along the way, comparing our physical skills, the speed of jumping onto the city wall, who could find the place where July was imprisoned first, and finally who could go in and save July.
I went in, but I didn't know that General Wu was so cruel. Knowing that he was missing limbs and had lost the battle and couldn't explain himself when he returned, he locked July in his unfinished tomb and activated the mechanism to bury us with him.
There are many mechanisms in the tomb passage, some completed and some unfinished. The ground is shaking. I don’t have time to care about so many things. I just rush in regardless of the consequences.
I looked for her in many places but couldn't find her. My body was almost at its limit and I felt a little desperate.
I said I would protect her.
Finally I found her, she was lying among the rocks, like a dying butterfly.
I was also covered in blood.
I asked her, I will protect you in this life, will you be my wife in the next life?
She agreed, and I pressed her sleeping point with a smile.
I died, and it was a rather ugly death. I'm glad that July didn't see it.
I used my remaining inner strength and flesh and blood to hold up the falling rocks from above, creating a space for her while waiting for rescue from outside.
Closing my eyes, I felt myself breaking free from the constraints of my body and flying.
Do people really become ghosts after they die?
I gently placed a kiss on July's forehead and tried to control my wandering soul to fly outside. Finally, I passed through the rocks and broken wood and heard a hoarse and unpleasant cry.
It was Shen Shaoyan, crying and digging at the rubble, his ten fingers covered in blood.
Jimo Yuan's eyes were red and his face was pale. He was commanding the army to dig the ruins, and his outstretched hand was trembling slightly.
"Some people go find tools, and the rest disperse to dig. No one is allowed to leave until they find someone."
I knew where July was, and wanted to tell them but passed through them. I saw the Xirong people and General Wu who had also turned into souls next to them. Their eyes were dull, their movements were slow, and their virtual bodies were getting fainter and fainter in the moonlight.
I stretched out my hand, also in the moonlight, and my soul body did not become weaker, but it did not become stronger either.
The army was still digging aimlessly. How long would they ever find July? The space was so cramped, and they didn't know when they would suffocate. They couldn't wait any longer.
I gritted my teeth and floated towards General Wu, crushing him into a ball and stuffing him into my mouth.
I thought it would taste terrible, but as soon as it entered my mouth it turned into pure energy and I swallowed it effortlessly.
I followed the same method and swallowed other souls I could find nearby.
My body is becoming more and more solid.
"Ghost! There's a ghost—"
I was stunned and turned around to find that those people were looking at me in fear.
They can see me? I was delighted. Could I then direct them to look for July?
"Lu Yanzhou, is that you?" Shen Shaoyan rushed over from behind the soldiers: "Where is July? Where is July?"
He tried to hold my shoulders, but passed through my soul and was obviously stunned.
I heard screams one after another.
Jimo Yuan came over and looked surprised to see me, but he did not retreat. Instead, he came over like Shen Shaoyan and asked where Qiyue was.
I shook my terrifying head, pointed in a direction with my pale hand, and then floated a little further away.
There was something about him that made me feel particularly uncomfortable.
