We told the mayor and everyone else what happened, but no one believed us. I talked to the other girls and our experiences were the sa. It was the sa man, sa pregnancy, sa kind of dream.
Over ti more and more girls beca pregnant. Eventually, unable to bear the sha, one of the girls took a dagger and tried to commit suicide. Everyone thought shed die, but she didnt! Instead her wound healed and she was fine.
It turned out we didnt even have the luxury of death. The town finally realized what was happening to us wasnt normal. We pooled our money and hired a magician to investigate. But that magician was useless! He couldnt see what was wrong with us at all!
The princess ca later. She didnt stay long, but went straight to the realm battlegrounds. In order to avoid a scandal, us pregnant girls were shut back inside our hos.
I really wanted to see the princess, but how could I show my face looking like this?!
The interesting thing was there werent any new pregnancies after the princess left. So I think the man in the dream had to have followed her.
I rembered I talked to him about Princess Nai Nai once. He was interested and asked a lot of questions about the princess. I shouldnt have told him about her. Now hes entrapped the princess too! Xiao Lan spoke regretfully.
If only she hadnt bought that dagger none of this would be happening! She felt horrible for bringing harm to her benefactor.
Jier spoke up. You an all this started because of the dagger you purchased? Can you show it to us?
Yes! Ive kept it with . I thought it would co in handy one day. Please wait. Ill get it right away! Xiao Lan wiped her tears and rushed up to get the dagger.
She ca back a few minutes later carrying a locked wooden box. She unlocked it to reveal a small black dagger. It didnt emit any discernable energy. At first glance it appeared to be a depleted weapon nothing unusual. Other than the fine material it was made out of, it was just a normal dagger. It was exactly as Xiao Lan described it.
Just as everyone was thinking it was an ordinary dagger, Feng Wu spoke up. This is a special dagger. The hilt is made out of the rare soul-raising wood. A soul can stay in this kind of wood while the physical body recovers. It is a very special wood.
Feng Wu recognized the wood because of her master back on Yuehue mountain. Her master had many hobbies but his favorite was to collect rare swords. That was why she knew about the soul-raising wood. Her master had one in his collection.
Soul-raising wood? Is there such a thing in this world? Ive never heard of it. Wind racked his brain but couldnt recall any references to it.
Jier guessed. So then the demon has been living inside the wood?
Feng Wu shook her head seriously. No, only souls can enter. Doesnt matter if its human or demon, if it has a body it cant enter.
So then this demon isn't physical and its using this thod to beco corporeal again. So thats why. This asshole doesnt even have a body. Pei Qing sneered.
May I have the dagger? Feng Wu asked Xiao Lan.
Honorable adventurer saved . I dont know how I could even repay that debt. If you want the dagger Im more than happy to give it. Please take it, Xiao Lan replied as she handed the dagger to Feng Wu. She further pleaded, Regarding this matter, I have one more request to ask of honorable adventurers. Please say youll accept it.
Speak. Jier wasnt going to agree to a request before hearing what it was first.
I wrote a letter to the princess, but I cant leave ho to give it to her. Please, honorable adventurers, will you deliver this letter directly into the princesss hands for ? Xiao Lan couldnt do it herself, so she could only inconvenience others to do it for her. She was no longer a high-ranking maid serving the princess, so their relationship had cooled. The princess had soone else by her side serving her now. She and the other maid, Xiao Na, werent on good terms. They got along in front of the princess, but it was just an act.
So seeing the princess was easier said than done. Xiao Na blocked her every route to the princess. It was only through luck that she encountered these people. Her only wish was for them the help the princess.
Jier didnt expect her to ask for sothing so simple. He nodded his head, accepting her request.
Before leaving they told the family the sa thing they told everyone else: lock the doors, bar the windows, dont let anyone in, and dont go outside.
They learned a lot during the visit. Who would have guessed soone from such a small village would know so much.
The group wanted to go to more hos and save more people but were interrupted when several screams broke out around them.
Help!
Kill!
Help!
Oh my god!
These people are crazy!
Son, son, what are you doing? Im your mother! Why are you trying to hurt ?!
Darling what are you doing! Im your wife!
The town erupted in violence. Cries for help and screams of pain shattered the peace. The coppery sll of blood filled the air. So people ran away, so covered their eyes while others slashed and hacked indiscriminately at anyone nearby. There was no rcy, even for their own kin. It was like theyd lost their minds to the violence.
Whats going on? Wind cried out in fright. Everything was so sudden!
Theyre the people who were soaked in the rain. Their hatred controls them and they cant break free. Lydia explained.
Can we save them? Pei Qing asked.
Lydias reply was blunt. Other than Xiao Wu, none of you guys have the ability.
Pei Qing thought that was harsh. Couldnt she say the truth more tactfully?
