“What? General, what should we do now? We’ve been filial to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor for our entire lives, and now we’ve accidentally hurt Her Highness. Do you have a way to help Her Highness recover?” a soldier cried out in despair.
At this moment, the man’s lips curled up and his eyes were dark. He said fiercely, “It’s too late. All of you will be buried with her.”
The man gently put Mu Yao down. Then, he stood up and waved his hands!
The general of the black shadow army was ruthlessly thrown back by the man’s resistance. The force was so strong that it almost scared the general out of his wits.
Immediately after, the general was ruthlessly smashed onto the rock wall.
A loud rumble came from the entire cliff. A large part of the cliff wall caved in, and the scattered stones fell into the magma below.
“General!” the soldiers behind him shouted as they rushed up to their leader.
The general’s soul instantly became only faintly discernible, as if it was about to disappear!
“General! Are you alright? Your soul seems to be disappearing!” one of the men shouted.
But just then, the man rushed over to release his resistance force, throwing the countless black figures into danger!
Seeing this, the general’s shadow struggled to speak in a weak voice, “Your Excellency! I was the one who ordered them to do this. If you want to punish us, let me bear it alone. These soldiers are innocent! Besides, we have a way to help Her Highness recover from her injuries and wake her up. Please just treat your attack as my apology to Her Highness! Please be merciful!”
The soldiers didn’t know who this man was, but since he was protecting the princess, he wasn’t considered an enemy. However, they had to make this man stop now. Otherwise, these soldiers would never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again!
The general was one of the stronger ones among all the soldiers. He was almost unable to withstand the resistance. If it had been those soldiers, they probably would not even have been able to withstand a single blow!
Meanwhile, the man’s eyes had already turned red. It was only natural for him to ignore the general. His mind was filled with the tragic scene of the woman spitting out blood just now. One strike was not enough to resolve his hatred!
Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind the man. “Xiaohuo.”
The man’s red eyes gradually regained clarity. He slowly retracted her hands.
He then turned around and ran back to help Mu Yao up anxiously. “Woman, you’re awake!”
“Your Highness! You’re awake!” All the black shadows ran around excitedly!
Mu Yao had a dream when she fell.
In her dream, she was running freely around the Imperial Preceptor’s residence while holding a white windmill.Behind her, her mother was carrying a newborn baby. Her mother looked at her lovingly and called out softly, “Be careful, Yao’er.”
Mu Yao ran off with the pinwheel in hand and her laughter filled the yard.
Just then, Mu Yao slammed into someone.
She widened her eyes at the person in front of her before breaking out into a grin. “Father! You’re back!”
Xia Guoyong looked at Mu Yao and smiled. He picked her up with one hand. “Mu Yao, don’t be so naughty!”
Holding the pinwheel in her right hand, Muyao even tugged at her father’s beard playfully with her left. “Heehee, Daddy, I’m not afraid of you abandoning me!”
Then, she turned around and glanced at her mother, revealing a few front teeth that hadn’t grown out yet. She smiled at her mother. “Isn’t that right, Mother?”
At this moment, her mother no longer had the happy expression from before. Instead, she lowered her head with a worried expression and greeted Xia Guoyong. “Old Master, you’re back.”
Xia Guoyong immediately put Mu Yao down and the smile on his face disappeared. He then glanced at Qin Yu and walked to her ear. His expression changed and he said to her with a dark expression, “Teach Mu Yao well and don’t get hurt. If the Emperor sees this, you will suffer! Do you hear me?”
Mu Yao, on the other hand, could only see her father and mother whispering to each other.
Then, the scene changed.
It was still in the courtyard of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence.
At this moment, she was already a graceful and generous 18-year-old girl. As usual, she was playing leisurely in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a group of priests and soldiers wearing white cultivator robes entered the courtyard. All of them glared at her angrily.
“Jinx! You’re still alive!” one of them yelled.
“Arrest her! Choose an auspicious day and execute her in public!”
Immediately, they went up to Mu Yao.
Dumbfounded, Mu Yao struggled and cried out, “Father! Mother! Help me!”
However, what happened the next second was the most unbearable and painful thing Mu Yao had ever experienced in her life!
Xia Guoyong walked out from behind the group of people and looked at Mu Yao with a worried expression. He said coldly, “Jinx, I’ve raised you for so many years in vain. I didn’t realize that you were such an omen. Your existence is the reason our Tianlong soldiers were completely annihilated in this battle!”
“Father! What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about the battle! I’m Mu Yao! I’m not some witch! Mother! Mother!”
Behind a pillar not far away, Qin Yu watched this scene with tears in her eyes. When she saw her second daughter, Xia He, studying in the room, she cried out in pain. “I’m sorry, Mu Yao! That’s right, I couldn’t protect you! I’m sorry! If I tried, my Xia He might…”
The image flashed again.
In the prison cell, Mu Yao was dressed in a prisoner’s uniform and covered in scars, and was then dragged unceremoniously from the cell to the execution platform by the soldiers.
Bang!
Mu Yao was thrown onto the execution platform with a loud thud as the citizens of Tianlong gathered round.
Then, leaves, eggs, and even stones were thrown at Mu Yao!
That woke her up.
Mu Yao opened her eyes and warm blood flowed into her eyes.
In her blurry vision, Mu Yao saw the citizens of Tianlong. She could even make out a few familiar figures among them. They were her parents and younger siblings.
Then, as her five senses gradually eased, the insults became increasingly clearer.
“Jinx! Your existence brought disaster to the country! Why didn’t you die earlier? It’s all because of you that our soldiers died tragically!” one shouted.
“My son was such a smart boy, yet he died in vain! My poor child! Jinx! Return my son to me!” another yelled out.
“There are elders and children in our family waiting for my husband to come back. Now, he has suffered a tragic death! What should we do?”
“My younger brother died tragically… Die!”
“My brother died tragically and sacrificed himself for Tianlong!”
“My husband died so tragically… You should die too!”
“My child died tragically and sacrificed himself for Tianlong!”
Waves of insults, grievances, and wails could be heard.
However, Mu Yao had no idea what was going on. She lay collapsed on the execution platform and slowly crawled toward the blurry and familiar figures.
She felt as though she was about to die, but she refused to believe it.
Could her own parents really bear to watch her die so heartlessly?
She crawled slowly in their direction. Every time she moved, the floor of the execution platform would be covered in bloody marks.
She tried to speak, but she had not eaten for days and she could barely make a sound.
‘Father… Is it really you? Are you really my father? Father, don’t you want me anymore? Mother, don’t you love me anymore? Do you not want me too? Why? What happened? Why don’t you tell me? I don’t understand what they are talking about! Tell me, Father, Mother! Sister! Brother!’
But Mu Yao couldn’t make a sound.
Then, she heard the sound of a horn blowing behind her. Following which, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.
A man shouted, “The time has come! We will offer sacrifices to the Heavenly God right now to ensure the prosperity of Tianlong! To ensure the safety of the citizens of Tialong, we have to eliminate the jinx who has harmed our people!”
The citizens below the stage also shouted in agreement, “Get rid of the demoness who has ruined our country!”
A series of voices rang in Mu Yao’s ears.
Her heart ached as she used her last bit of strength to turn toward her parents, only to see that they too were raising their hands and cheering.
A sharp pain pierced through Mu Yao’s heart.
“Execute her!”
On the cliff wall, Mu Yao suddenly opened her eyes and heard the conversation between the man and the general. From what she could hear, they were talking about her being a princess.
The man then said, “All of you will die with her!”
Mu Yao realized what was going on right away. Perhaps, these shadows had something to do with her death. She called out, “Xiaohuo!”
The man immediately ran back and carefully helped her up. He no longer cared about his nasty nickname. He had not expected himself to be so happy about the woman coming to.
“Her Highness! Her Highness is awake!”
The black shadow general struggled to get up before flying over, followed by his soldiers.
Seeing this, the ruthlessness in the man’s eyes gradually appeared again.
Mu Yao gently covered his wrist and shook her head, reassuring him, “Don’t worry..”
