Covered in blood?
Heading out of the capital?
The guard's words seemed to confirm Gu Mu's premonition.
"Take me there," he said coldly.
Led by his bodyguards, Gu Mu arrived at the place where he had found the princess as quickly as possible.
But by then, the princess was no longer there.
Fortunately, the guards always acted in pairs; when one returned to report, the other would follow.
There are markers left along the way.
Even without these markings, Gu Mu knew where the princess had gone.
Because the ground was covered with specks of blood.
It stretches all the way out of the city.
really,
Gu Mu hadn't gone far outside the city,
Then I saw a person wearing a large, silver-white robe walking forward.
Her hands were completely stained bright red.
The entire sleeve, including the sleeve itself, has changed color.
She walked with extreme unsteadiness, almost as if she could faint at any moment, and the blood seeping from her sleeves was particularly eerie.
"Hungry……"
"Hungry……"
"Hungry……"
Shen Ling felt the parchment scroll making frantic noises in her mind.
"I want...fresh...living people..."
"Fresh..."
The parchment scroll seemed to be getting more and more frantic; it seemed to be bewitching Shenling, wanting Shenling to hunt for it.
"You've used my power, so you have to do one thing for me..."
"This is a deal..."
"It must be done..."
Did they use the power of the parchment scrolls?
Shen Ling recalled that when Gu Mu was unconscious, she did try to save him using the method on the parchment scroll, but Gu Mu recovered on his own, so she didn't use that method and it shouldn't count as using the power of the parchment scroll...
If I had to put it into words, it would be that the parchment scroll suddenly became attached to her side.
There's a small section that's frequently updated.
But usually it's something like: "The maid Youyou secretly ate two osmanthus cakes in the small kitchen."
"Lu Ming accidentally dropped two copper coins while walking on the road."
These are the kinds of trivial matters that concern the people around the princess.
However, not long ago, the scroll suddenly updated with the message, "His Highness knows your secret."
Then, the parchment scroll could speak in her mind.
They began to manipulate her actions.
Could it be that seeing the words on the parchment scroll meant she had used its power?
That parchment is really insidious. It appeared on her automatically and then updated its contents automatically. Once important content was updated and Shen Ling saw it, the deal was done.
This transaction... must be executed...
The Spirit can only complete this deal by hunting a person for it.
“No… I can’t…” Shen Ling murmured.
She could sense the bloody evil emanating from the parchment. She could foresee that if she satisfied the parchment, its power would continue to grow until it completely spiraled out of control…
Shen Ling was inherently kind.
At least before her rebirth, she was always a kind girl.
If it's necessary to destroy the entire human world...
There's only one reason she would do that...
...That has something to do with His Highness...
"No...I can't...I can't hunt for you..."
This parchment is determined to eat, and this kind of eating must be of great help to it.
...And this thing looks like an evil object.
However, the deal has already been made...
Shen Ling felt a tearing pain in her soul, and a faint thought lingered in her mind: "Hunt for it..."
"Hunt it for food..."
"Hunt it for food..."
Ke Chenling has a very strong will.
Such seduction would have been too much for an ordinary person to resist, and they would have already begun to hunt for the parchment scrolls.
But Shen Ling forced herself to leave the city and arrive at a desolate place...
But……
It hurts so much...
There's a kind of soul... that feels like it's being torn apart...
It seems that only by making a deal... will this pain disappear...
From afar,
Upon seeing the princess, Gu Mu sensed that something was wrong with her.
He didn't know why the princess had so much blood on her body.
However, he rushed forward immediately and put his arm around the princess's waist.
At this moment, the princess seemed to be unable to stand steadily, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her eyes half-closed, as if she might faint at any moment.
Her beautiful face now showed signs of paleness and helplessness.
This was the first time Gu Mu had seen Shen Ling like this, and he didn't know how she had managed to get here...
At this moment, even though Gu Mu had his arm around Shen Ling's waist, Shen Ling simply lay softly on his chest without resisting.
Shen Ling was covered in blood.
lips were deathly pale.
Extremely weak,
He seemed to be suffering immense pain.
But she persevered with her strong willpower, and before Gu Mu arrived, she continued to walk further and further away from the capital.
She felt herself being held in Gu Mu's arms.
Shen Ling opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Mu.
A slight surprise,
And a slight sense of confusion.
In Shen Ling's mind, Gu Mu should be at Hua Man Lou with Ma Shishi right now, so why is he here?
But Gu Mu just happened to appear here.
When she needed help the most,
Gu Mu arrived just in time and gave her a warm hug.
This is her enemy...
Even at this moment, Shen Ling still possesses the ability to protect herself. Her mastery of unorthodox methods is enough to allow her to instantly kill her opponent with a small poisonous insect when she is weak. Even if she faints in the forest, the various poisonous insects, poison powders, and other strange things she carries with her can instantly kill anyone who wants to do evil to her.
