Chapter 381 Book Spirit
Thinking of this, Chu Ci suddenly lost interest in watching the fun.
She gently touched her slightly bulging belly, her eyes full of tenderness, and said firmly: "I'm going back first!"
The purple-robed envoy Yan Xin looked at Chu Ci's hurriedly departing back, his brows slightly furrowed, his deep eyes revealing complex and inexplicable emotions.
Looking at Fan Jingrui who was busy not far away, he shook his head and thought about his next plan in his heart.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, his eyes became firm, he quickened his search, his gaze became sharper, not missing any corner.
At the same time, he increased supervision efforts and imposed strict requirements on everyone involved in the search to ensure that the mission could be completed efficiently.
Just by searching like this, he actually found something.
Four men, nearly identical to Yang Zhigao, appeared, but they were in terrible condition, completely unconscious. Their eyes were glazed over, their movements sluggish, as if their spirits had left their bodies. They showed no reaction to external stimuli, simply standing there mechanically. Their appearance was both terrifying and filled with confusion.
"This..." The law enforcement officer in embroidered clothes beside Yan Xin was shocked, his mouth slightly open, but he didn't have time to say anything.
Yan Xin quickly turned his head, his expression solemn, his brows furrowed, and said, "Go and get Yi Xin..."
As soon as he said that, he suddenly stopped. Chu Ci's current situation flashed through his mind like lightning. He was about to say that he would invite Chu Ci over, but he swallowed the words back.
Then, as if he had made a new decision, he said with a slightly helpless tone, "Forget it, let Jin Ming come over?"
The embroidered-robed law enforcement officer beside him quickly responded, "Boss, Jin Ming's medical skills are quite good. I heard that he learned a few tricks from the Miaojiang man a while ago. They should be enough to deal with the current situation."
The purple-robed envoy Yan Xin nodded slightly, but his expression remained serious. He said, "I hope so. This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly."
The embroidered-robed law enforcement officer quickly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Boss. Everyone has witnessed Jin Ming's abilities. I don't think he'll make any mistakes."
After saying that, he ran out as fast as the wind.
At this time, Chu Ci had no idea that he was almost invited back by the Purple-Robed Envoy again.
Suddenly, a gentle voice of thanks came: "Thank you for saving me." Chu Ci was stunned and confused for a moment.
She blinked confusedly, frowning slightly, as if she had not yet understood the sudden thanks.
Turning to look at Jiang Li beside him, he saw no reaction from him. Chu Ci then realized that the voice was transmitted directly into his mind.
Her body suddenly stiffened, her heart filled with shock and vigilance.
"Who are you?" Chu Ci asked herself again in her heart. She believed that if she could make a sound at this moment, her voice would definitely be trembling.
Turning to look at Jiang Li beside him, he saw no reaction from him. Chu Ci then realized that the voice was transmitted directly into his mind.
"Sister, don't be afraid. I am the book spirit of this world." The voice sounded again, with a soothing tone. Seeing that Chu Ci was still vigilant, he continued, "I have been trapped in Yang Zhigao's body for a long, long time. The torment is indescribable. Thanks to sister, I have a chance to escape."
"So, sister, you are Shushu's savior, and Shushu will not hurt his savior."
However, Chu Ci's focus was: "You were trapped in the body of Yang Zhigao, the fake Second Prince? Isn't he the male protagonist?"
"No way!" Shu Ling's voice became anxious, with a hint of dissatisfaction, "How could he be the male protagonist? The real male protagonist is someone else. Sister, don't be fooled by appearances."
Chu Ci was so surprised that her mouth opened into an O shape, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. This exaggerated expression also made Jiang Li beside her notice that something was wrong with her.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Li looked concerned, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of worry and confusion.
Chu Ci quickly put away his expression, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He said, "I'm fine. You go wait outside the door. When my husband comes back, tell him to come to the backyard immediately and tell him I have good news."
Jiang Li responded without any hesitation, "Yes." Then he turned around and left in a hurry, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Chu Ci sent Jiang Li away and hurried back to the house.
She calmed her rapid breathing before asking the book spirit again, "If Yang Zhigao isn't the male protagonist, then who is? Could it be Fan Jingrui or the crown prince?"
Her eyes were filled with eagerness and curiosity as she stared straight ahead, as if expecting the book spirit to give an answer immediately.
"Sister, do you want to go back to the original world?" Shu Ling did not answer Chu Ci's question, but suddenly asked this question.
There was a hint of mystery in its voice, as if there were many deeper meanings hidden behind this simple question.
Chu Ci was stunned by this sudden question and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After a long moment, Chu Ci slowly spoke, "Didn't I die in my previous life? If I were to go back, would I still be living like I am now, occupying someone else's identity?"
After she finished speaking, a hint of worry and uneasiness appeared in her eyes. I don't know if she was worried about the unknown future, or if there was some other reason.
The book spirit paused after hearing this, then asked cautiously, "So, sister, you want to stay? Then can I be your child?"
There was a hint of anticipation and longing in its voice, as if this request was of great importance to it.
Chu Ci paused after hearing this, his mind churning with thoughts. Somehow, he blurted out, "If I don't agree, what will you do? Will you disappear?"
However, as soon as these words came out, Chu Ci's face was full of complicated expressions, as if she herself was surprised by these sudden words.
Then Chu Ci got angry, "It's you, you're influencing me. And if I don't agree, what are you going to do?"
"Sister, Shushu doesn't want to die. If you don't agree, Shushu will have to wait for death. Sister, please save me! I will be very good." Shu Ling said in a crying voice, her voice full of pleading and fear, as if she was about to face a catastrophe in the next second.
Its tone was trembling, and it was filled with deep helplessness, which made people feel pity for it.
However, Chu Ci had seen too many such situations since crossing over, so he was not easily moved at this moment. "Why, why did you disappear? Aren't you a book spirit?"
Shu Ling explained with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you don't really think those idiots are capable of dragging you here, do you?"
"It was me who pulled you in at the cost of disappearing." Its voice was full of grievance and helplessness, as if it was enduring great pain.
Chu Ci pursed his lips in anger, his chest heaving violently, "Should I thank you then?"
"Also, I want to know the reason, and if I agree, what will happen to the little bean sprout in my belly?" Her eyes were red, glaring at the front, and her voice trembled slightly with anger.
