The halt of the Chongyang army did not bring relief to the Northern Jin court; instead, it caused even more chaos.
The resurrection of the dead was not limited to Yongzhou City; it also occurred in the capital city.
Anyone bitten by a corpse-man will be infected with the corpse poison, and within a day, the bitten person will turn into a corpse-man.
As the number of corpses increased, people in the capital began to flee, seeking refuge in places free of them.
Meanwhile, another voice circulated in the capital, claiming that the current Northern Jin emperor was an imposter, wearing a human skin mask, and that the real Northern Jin emperor had long since died.
The court officials and imperial guards began to pressure him to abdicate, demanding to see his face.
Wei Yingcheng began a massacre on charges of disobeying his superiors...
The Northern Jin court was plunged into complete internal strife.
...
On the deck of the warship—
Grey Grey has returned from the Chongyang Palace.
It landed on Fu Yunchen's shoulder, with a mother eagle circling above its head.
Upon seeing the mother eagle, Mu Run smiled at Fu Yunchen and said, "Is this Grey's wife? When will she give birth to a pair of eaglets so Huanhuan and Tuantuan can have playmates?"
Fu Yunchen glanced at her. "Didn't you dislike training eagles?"
“Huanhuan and Tuantuan like it. They asked me for it when I came out this time.”
"Then I'll find them a good pair." Fu Yunchen took the letter off his gray, thick legs.
Mu Run nodded, "Okay, then I'll keep my word."
After reading the letter, Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow in surprise, then handed it to Mu Run.
"What's wrong?" Mu Run asked, then looked down at the contents of the letter.
Corpses appeared in Chongyang Prefecture, but have been dealt with. The Emperor of Wu was bitten to death by his crown prince, who had turned into a corpse. Now, Wu is in turmoil over who should ascend the throne. Huanhuan and Tuantuan said they had a dream in which a little brother cried, saying that his mother didn't want him.
Upon seeing this, Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen, "Did you write a letter to them telling them I'm pregnant?"
Fu Yunchen denied it, saying, "No. It must be that their minds sensed it."
Mu Run looked down at her still flat stomach. "Actually, I also dreamed of a child crying. Could that bowl of abortion pills I smashed be real?"
Fu Yunchen looked at her. "What do you think?"
Mu Run touched her belly, "Baby, it's not that your mother doesn't want you, it's that your father doesn't."
Fu Yunchen: "..."
The pot fell down quite suddenly!
"Getting back to the point, how exactly did these corpse people spread? They're everywhere indiscriminately." Mu Run looked at the letter in his hand. "Even the emperor of Wu was killed by the corpse people."
Fu Yunchen said, "The third day of the third month is an auspicious day."
Mu Run, "Hmm?"
Fu Yunchen: "Let's set this day for the coronation."
Mu Run was stunned. "Me?"
Then she shook her head. "Let's forget about it. I asked my aunt, and she said that the Witch Clan can become emperors. They'll leave a rule in their clan rules—that a ruler with Witch blood will be punished by heaven. It's just to put the human emperors at ease. Besides, what the Witch Clan ultimately wants is to evolve, become a higher-level Spirit Clan, and leave the subcontinent... Uh, you don't actually want to leave too, do you?"
Fu Yunchen's left hand suddenly clenched. "If... I mean if, one day I leave you all, what will you do?"
Mu Run thought for a moment, "My aunt did say that anyone with the blood of the Witch Clan, even a hybrid, has the potential to evolve. They might even evolve faster than pure Witch Clan members. If that's the case..."
Looking up into his eyes, she said, "It's up to you to choose."
