"National Master, Wizard, what's the matter?" Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua, sitting atop the giant wolf, looked puzzled at Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan in front of them and asked.
Though Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan had undergone an enormous change in such a short time, they had seen them before entering the formation earlier. They had not seemed so shocked earlier either!
Why did the National Master and Wizard react so strongly upon seeing Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan now?
"Ji Fantian, Xiao Taohua, everyone, open your eyes wide and look carefully at Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's bodies," Little Xibei said through gritted teeth with hatred.
Following Little Xibei's hateful voice, everyone fixed their gaze on Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan. When they saw the last rays of sunlight shining straight through their bodies, everyone involuntarily gasped in shock.
This was...
Xiluo Little Priest's Curse Clone Technique.
If the Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan before them were Xiluo Little Priest's clones, then where were the real ones?
Or perhaps Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan had been pretending all along?
As everyone was stunned, the Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan at the front did not look at the others. Riding the giant wolves beneath them, they raced ahead at top speed.
The Eldest Sister did not have much time left.
They had to help that old woman Ye Xi complete the ritual before these bodies dissipated.
The people following behind Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan kept their gaze fixed on the gradually fading forms of their bodies, not daring to look away.
Once Xiluo Little Priest's Curse Clone Technique was used, there was no turning back.
He had truly exhausted himself for his Eldest Sister, his soul destined to depart this world.
That Xiluo Little Priest, who always left himself a chance no matter what, seemed unable to return this time.
Unlike the shock of Ji Fantian and Han Ye's group, Zhao Cai and Jin Bao, who had been by Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's side all along, looked at the identical forms before them with excitement in their eyes.
Lord Xiluo's Clone Technique!
When would Lord Xiluo teach them too?
Amid their excitement, Zhao Cai and Jin Bao turned their wolf eyes to secretly scan Han Ye's group behind them.
Their eyes shone, eager to enjoy the spectacle.
What ignorant people, thinking that Lord Xiluo, who valued his life so much, would drive himself to death.
After all, Lord Xiluo's lifelong wish was to remain by his master's side forever.
For him to die was simply impossible!
Because they knew that Lord Xiluo was far smarter than a mere fox.
Thus, amidst the stunned gazes of Han Ye's group, the indifference of Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan, and Zhao Cai and Jin Bao's expectant watch, they made a journey in three days that would normally take five, reaching Canglan Country.
At the gates of Canglan Country, Zhao Cai and Jin Bao watched as Lin Zaozao was held tightly in Gu Shan's embrace. Amid their excitement, they also grew anxious.
The master's previous life was a massive nightmare. If she fell back into it and could not escape, she would surely die.
But if the master died, could these men who had followed her into this world survive?
Especially this Demon Sovereign Gu Shan, who had woken up midway and snatched the master away from Lord Han Ye's hands.
Looking at his tense demeanor, would they even be able to proceed smoothly with the ritual?
"Everyone, I've prepared the Prayer Platform. Are you going in or just standing here letting this old woman put on a mournful show in the breeze?" Ye Xi mocked, riding a horse.
Hmph! A bunch of pathetic men.
Including her two good brothers, these grown men all looked like they had lost their wives, their faces long with sorrow.
It was just a matter of recovering her past life's memories!
Lin Zaozao wasn't dead yet!
Besides, how could they not trust that little girl Zaozao?
What was wrong with them? Were they afraid that after recovering her memories, Zaozao would abandon them?
It served them right. In this life, from the very start, they never told Zaozao the truth, constantly saying it was for her own good, so they couldn't tell her the truth.
But the reality was, their so-called "for Zaozao's own good" was just fear that after regaining her memories, Zaozao would cast them all aside.
After all, that lofty High Priestess who held dominion over life and death was no fool to be toyed with.
"Eldest Princess Ye Xi!"
"Eldest Princess Ye Xi!"
Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan called out in unison.
"Oh my! And who do we have here? Oh! It's our venomous little Xiluo Little Priest!
Come, come, let me see your fading bodies. Are you about to meet the Grim Reaper?
How's that? I thought you loved calling me 'old woman'? Now that you need me, you're calling me Eldest Princess Ye Xi?
Your turncoat ways are as smooth as ever! Look at those sly little mouths, not a single decent word coming out in ten sentences."
"We wouldn't dare, Eldest Princess Ye Xi. Please spare us with your noble hand," Lin Wuwu said with a wry smile.
Hmph! If their abilities weren't sealed, he would make this old woman Ye Xi age twenty years in an instant.
She called their mouths venomous!
Hmph! Compared to this old woman, they paled in comparison.
"What's this? Lin Wuwu, you're begging me now, but you just wanted to make me age twenty years instantly!
Do you think this old woman's mind-reading powers were eaten by a dog after being reborn? Or has your brain grown weeds?"
"Ah! No, of course not. Eldest Princess Ye Xi, you've misunderstood me."
Lin Wuwu lowered his head, not daring to meet Ye Xi's mocking gaze.
He had been foolish to forget that this old woman Ye Xi's mind-reading powers would not disappear even after being reborn.
Standing beside Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan stepped in front of him, pointing at his fading body and saying urgently:
"Eldest Princess Ye Xi, Wuwu and I don't have much time left. Let's go to the Prayer Platform quickly, or else Elder Sister's sacrificial ritual will fail."
"Lin Wanwan, is it that the old lady isn't moving, or is it those turtles behind you who don't dare to move?
They're afraid that once Zaozao recovers her memories from her previous life, she'll look down on them. What should they do then?
After all, in her previous life, Zaozao constantly rejected them and refused to have any involvement with them.
But in this life, under the schemes of these wretched men, they all ended up becoming Zaozao's husbands.
Hmph! A bunch of scheming wretched men, each with a hundred tricks up their sleeves."
Ye Xi glanced at the men with their heads lowered, her eyes gleaming with amusement at the spectacle.
Wretched men, they deserved it!
Seeing the amused gleam in Ye Xi's eyes, Wuwu and Wanwan turned to look at Gu Shan, Han Ye, Xiao Liuli, and the others. Despite their disdain, they still spoke words of reassurance:
"Gentlemen, among Elder Sister's husbands, except for Murong Hai who is trapped in the Bitter Cold Lands, all of you are now carrying her children.
With Elder Sister's single-mindedness, do you think she would abandon her husbands and children?
Instead of wasting time here, we should all hurry to the Prayer Platform and help Eldest Princess Ye Xi complete the sacrificial ritual before it's too late."
Wuwu's words instantly brightened the eyes of Gu Shan and the others. They unconsciously placed their hands on their abdomens, their spirits rising with excitement.
Yes! They were all carrying Zaozao's children. Given Zaozao's responsible attitude, she would never abandon them and leave.
When she returned, even if she wanted to beat or kill them upon learning the truth, they would gladly accept it, as long as she came back from the illusion of her previous life's memories.
Gu Shan lowered his head and touched Lin Zaozao's now silver-colored long hair. After today, Zaozao's hair would regain its silver color.
Before her hair turned silver and before Lord Han Ye and Lord Han Xibei's sacrificial abilities disappeared, they had to help Zaozao recover her memories from her previous life.
If her sacrificial abilities were restored but her memories were not, it would result in many deaths.
If anyone died because of Zaozao, then all their efforts would have been in vain.
"Everyone, the night is almost here. If we don't go in now, the optimal time for the sacrificial ritual will pass."
Ye Xi glanced at the wooden stakes standing at the city gate and turned to walk inside.
In fact, not only were Zaozao's husbands anxious, but Ye Xi herself was extremely anxious as well.
Zaozao was the Saintess of their Baichi Clan. If she chose not to return after regaining her memories, then the secret their Baichi Clan had guarded for so many years would be buried forever.
They didn't even know who they were guarding all these years.
For so long, they only knew they were guarding something, but they couldn't see the person inside.
Ye Xi turned her head and looked at Wuwu and Wanwan's fading bodies, letting out a sigh.
This brother and sister had truly done their utmost for each other's sake.
