Chapter 181: "Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Ashes."
These words really worked.
The already hesitant residents of the east city were immediately shaken. "That's right! Why is the fire only starting around him? Maybe it's an evil spirit!"
"What the Saint said makes sense! If it's really a sorcery, we'll be in trouble if we get close!"
"Look again! Don't be fooled by appearances!"
But someone in the crowd whispered back, "Danxue Mountain is a sacred mountain, the home of the phoenix. Miss Sheng was standing by the fire, and the petals weren't even burned. It's clearly the gods protecting her!"
Sheng Jieyue felt like she had heard a huge joke. Not only did they link the God of Flowers with Sheng Ran, but someone even mentioned the divine bird Phoenix.
Don't flatter them!
She laughed disdainfully, "It's precisely because this is the former residence of the sacred bird that I'm so angry when I see the corpse of this ominous raven!"
Situ Yu also stepped forward and added, "Everyone should leave here as soon as possible to avoid the wrath of the divine bird!"
The discussions that had previously supported Sheng Ran suddenly faded away, and some people even quietly took a few steps back, their eyes filled with vigilance again.
"Yeah, why don't we go now!"
"A good hunt was ruined by this useless bitch again. What bad luck!"
Seeing this, Sheng Jieyue curled up her lips into a smug smile.
Sheng Ran looked at the shaken people, then looked at Yun Ling's figure in the flames, the coldness in her eyes became even stronger.
She didn't argue, but slowly raised her hand, and the golden vines around her rose again, pointing directly at Sheng Jieyue: "Do you dare to compete with me openly? Who has divine power and who has demonic magic? One try and we'll find out."
The final blow Sheng Jieyue gave Yun Ling just now was delivered with evil power, but her movements were so fast that no one noticed.
Sheng Jieyue's face turned pale instantly and she subconsciously took a half step back.
Her body has been corroded by evil magic, and she will be exposed as soon as she uses her supernatural powers!
Situ Yu immediately stood in front of her, his tail taut, "Don't try to quibble! Today we will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and eliminate you, this witch!"
Tu Shanyi, Pei Xiaoxing and Ling Rui immediately stepped forward and protected Sheng Ran.
Tu Shanyi's fox eyes flashed with coldness: "If you want to touch my wife, ask us first."
The two sides were once again in a standoff, the flames were still burning, making everyone's face flicker.
The people stood in the middle, looking at the golden light around Sheng Ran and the black aura around Sheng Jieyue, looking at the burning flames and the two sides in confrontation, and were completely at a loss.
Sheng Jieyue realized that the situation was not good and she could not stay here for long. Killing one of Sheng Ran's beastly husbands today was considered a gain.
She tugged at Situ Yu's sleeve and wanted to retreat, but was stopped by Pei Xiaoxing before leaving.
"Lady Saint..." Pei Xiaoxing's tone was as cold as ice. "If the Beast King still doesn't show up at the upcoming ceremony, shouldn't you and the prince give us a reasonable explanation?"
Sheng Jieyue glared back at him fiercely, "I've already told you, the Beast King is resting in the palace. Nothing serious has happened. Don't speculate!"
Situ Yu also put on the airs of a prince, "Even if the Queen Mother is unwell and cannot appear in public, why can't I, a prince, preside over the ceremony?"
The two men concealed the panic in their eyes and walked away without paying attention to the mess on the field.
The people around were talking about it. Although they had begun to doubt Sheng Jieyue, they were still afraid of the blazing fire and quickly went down the mountain.
Sheng Ran also heard many kind-hearted orcs passing by him, and they gently advised, "Miss Sheng, I'm so sorry. You should go back early and don't get hurt by this fire."
Before long, most people had left.
Tu Shanyi quickly walked to Sheng Ran's side, gently supported her shaky body, and choked with sobs: "Wife, let's leave here first, the fire is too big."
Sheng Ran didn't move, but just stood beside the fire, looking at Yun Ling's body in the flames, tears silently sliding down her face.
Golden petals fell on them, as if bidding farewell to their departed souls, or as if guarding their lingering obsessions.
Ling Rui watched the blazing fire silently, puzzled. "A forest fire, if it touches the grass and trees, should spread more and more fiercely, burning the entire mountain. But this fire is only burning Yun Ling's body. It hasn't spread, and there's no sign of it dying out. Why is that?"
Zhu Jiuyin stared at Yun Ling in the flames, "Wife, actually—"
He opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The mountain gave him a very familiar aura, just like the special aura he felt when he first met Yun Ling.
A guess popped up in his mind, but he was afraid that the result would not be what he expected, so he decided not to tell his wife, so as not to give her hope and then disappoint her.
Zhu Jiuyin sighed and said, "My dear wife, please believe me, Yun Ling is a lucky person..."
Sheng Ran's eyes were red from crying and she looked at him confusedly.
She only knew that the beast world was full of supernatural powers, but she had never heard of any beastman being powerful enough to be resurrected from the dead.
Sheng Ran wanted to ask more, but seeing Zhu Jiuyin's bad face, her heart sank and she knew she couldn't delay any longer.
"Go back first... I'll heal your wounds." Sheng Ran looked at Yun Ling in the flames reluctantly, feeling a heart-wrenching pain.
After returning to the inn, Huaijun had not come back yet.
Sheng Ran asked the system to help sense the information on his panel and found that the fluctuation was not big, so there should be no life-threatening situation.
She put her mind at ease for the time being and could only take care of the other beastly husbands around her.
When she faced Sheng Jieyue and Situ Yu alone, they were also trying to find a way to break the insect formation, and they all suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Pei Xiaoxing, Ling Rui and Tu Shanyi were fine, they only had external injuries.
Zhu Jiuyin was different. He used his spatial abilities to swallow all the poisonous insects into his own space. If this continued for a long time, it would only cause greater damage to his body.
But they can't be released anymore. We have to find a way to deal with these poisons.
Zhu Jiuyin was lying on the bed in the inn, coughing up blood uncontrollably.
"My dear wife...if it's really difficult, you might as well just leave me alone." He spoke in a low voice and shook his head weakly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sheng Ran pinched him angrily. She never wanted to feel the helplessness Yun Ling felt before his death again.
Sheng Ran didn't say anything and went straight into Zhu Jiuyin's space to face those poisonous insects.
Before the beastly husbands could stop her, they saw Sheng Ran lose consciousness and fall beside Zhu Jiuyin's bed, falling asleep with her eyes closed.
Zhu Jiuyin still had a trace of consciousness left. He carried his wife to the bed, holding her hand tightly.
Not long after, I felt a soothing and magical power injected into my body.
The other beastmen looked at the two nervously and didn't dare to leave.
"My wife has consumed so much today, will she be okay?" Ling Rui said with a worried tone.
At this moment, Huaijun hurried back home and finally showed up.
President Pei Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?"
His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes.
Huai Jun shook his head, indicating that he was fine. "I think the situation is not right, so I went to get the spiritual spring water."
Everyone felt relieved. With the spiritual spring water, they no longer worried about the wife over-consuming it.
"Yun Ling..."
"I know." Huaijun's tone was low, "I heard about it."
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became depressing. The wife was too sad, and they didn't dare to mention it in front of her.
Zhu Jiuyin coughed twice and forced himself to speak, "I think... there is a chance of recovery."
"Danxue Mountain is the habitat of the mythical bird Phoenix, and there has always been a legend about the mythical bird Phoenix—"
"The phoenix rises from the ashes and is reborn."
