In the blink of an eye, Yu Shan transformed back into Xiao An's appearance, "I will tear you to pieces! Everything you have should be mine! Your children, your men, your empress—they should all be mine!"
"Ha!" Mu Run understood. "So that's what you were planning."
"Fu Yunchen is mine!" Xiao An's eyes suddenly turned red, radiating a sinister and malevolent light.
Mu Run took two steps back, moving further away from the door, and gestured for Huanhuan and Tuantuan to hide behind the mountain god statue.
Huanhuan and Tuantuan also had a sense of crisis, and the two little ones climbed up the mountain god statue.
The last person occupied one of the wings, craning their necks to look down.
Huanhuan whispered, "Mom, this place is spacious, why don't you come up here too?"
Mu Run gestured for them to hide and not show themselves.
As Xiao'an stood in front of the mountain god temple, reaching out to push the door open, he suddenly felt his vision change...
The temple is gone, and what appears before us is a field of green grass and fragrant flowers, with a lake as clear and bright as a mirror.
A tall, handsome man with a godlike appearance, a purple crown, and golden hair looked at her calmly. His golden-green eyes showed no disgust, joy, anger, or any emotion whatsoever.
Xiao'an began to tremble uncontrollably, out of fear!
Throughout her life, regardless of her form—human, ghost, or neither—Xiao'an has never been so afraid of anyone, especially after she gained power, commanding tens of thousands of corpses and about to become the Corpse King. Once she becomes the Corpse King, she will surely turn the entire world into her corpse land!
But who is this man? Why does he make her so powerless to resist, only wanting to escape and get as far away from him as possible?
"I see." The man looked up at the sky. "Ten thousand years have passed."
Taking advantage of the moment when the man looked up at the sky while talking to himself, Xiao'an suddenly retreated with all his might!
The man watched her run into the woods.
But in the blink of an eye, she reappeared in front of him.
Within his domain, all things are under his control.
"Who are you?" Xiao'an asked in fear and unease.
“I am the mountain god of Chongyang Mountain. Evil spirits will retreat from any mountain with a guardian beast. You are rare, however, you actually did not avoid it and even broke in. This is a merit delivered to my door for nothing.”
The man suddenly smiled, and with his smile, the already vibrant life force of Chongyang Mountain became even more vigorous.
Xiao'an's face turned ashen. "No, no—"
Then, amidst the man's smile, the person's body gradually turned into a wisp of gray dust and disappeared into the air.
A golden eye-shaped mark appeared on the man's forehead.
The mark flickered briefly before disappearing again.
Mu Run waited in the temple for quite a while, but Xiao An didn't barge in. She didn't dare go out again rashly, so she could only wait.
Huanhuan took out a Gu bell from her sleeve and released a small, colorful Gu butterfly from it. "Go out and see if there are any bad people outside."
The butterfly flew away.
Mu Run looked at Huanhuan in surprise, "You can control Gu?"
Huanhuan nodded, "Uncle Ziwu taught me."
At noon... Mu Run recalled Xiao An's words and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." Huanhuan and Tuantuan, having received his teachings, are his disciples. "Huanhuan, later you and Tuantuan should build a tomb for Uncle Ziwu. After all, he taught you, so you should die with dignity."
"Uncle Ziwu is dead?" Tuantuan stared wide-eyed, looking very incredulous.
