“Moreover, those who know the stilling technique will not be willing to live in such a small village. Although this village is not bad, it’s remote. It’s difficult to realize their ambitions. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t stay here.”
“Does he have such ambitions? It varies from person to person. We can’t always treat everyone with our own opinions.”
Yuan Hehe was silent.
Sikong Wuyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “At the end of the day, there’s no point in saying all this now. Instead of guessing who cast this spell, it’s better to crack it first. Do you know how to break it? I feel like I’m going to die of exhaustion.”
He was currently bent over and felt like he was about to die.
He was old and could not bear to continue like this, but he could not straighten his body. This made him extremely worried.
Yuan Hehe sighed.
“If I knew how to crack this, I would have done it long ago. I wouldn’t be wasting time with you now. Let’s have a chat first. Perhaps Jiang Ming will have a way to save us.”
“How do you know Jiu Zhu isn’t still?” Sikong Wuyuan also sighed. “Speaking of which, could that person be here for Jiu Zhu?”
Yuan Hehe immediately nodded. “Yes, they must be here for Jiu Zhu. What other brilliant techniques can the people in this village have? Only Jiu Zhu is powerful here. The others are not worth mentioning at all. Take the young miss of the village for example. Her spells are terrible. Although the chief knows some spells, he still can’t defeat Jiu Zhu. It’ll be an eye-opener for me if that person is looking for someone else. That’s why I said that Jiu Zhu might save us.”
Sikong Wuyuan was silent for a moment. “In that case, let’s wait. Maybe we can move later.”
Yuan Hehe also felt that it made sense. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely be able to get out.”
As they spoke, the two of them started chatting about other things, trying their best to kill time and not let themselves be sleepy.
Coincidentally, Jiang Ming had already finished cooking.
Although it was his second time cooking, he was a little uncertain, but the food looked quite good.
Xu Chuchu picked up her cutlery and smiled.
“I’m lucky today. I can actually taste the dishes made by you.”
Jiang Ming laughed. “It’s just a small trick. It’s nothing at all. Try it.”
Xu Chuchu nodded. Then, she picked up some leafy greens and put them into her mouth.
The delicious taste spread on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes lit up. She could not help but say in surprise, “Jiu Zhu, the food you’ve made is too delicious. I’ve lived for many years, but this is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious food.”
What?
Jiang Ming was shocked.
Xu Chuchu did not look like she had lived for many years. Moreover, she had clearly exaggerated. How could she not eat food that was similar to his?
However, it had to be said that her words were very useful to him.
“Thank you, Xu Chuchu,” he said sincerely.
Immediately after, the s.p.a.ce suddenly trembled. He also discovered that the surrounding scene began to change and had returned to its previous state.
The people around them seemed to have no memory of their previous motionless movements and began to drink with smiles.
Jiang Ming also held the cup in his hand as if nothing had happened.
He raised his head and realized that Xu Chuchu had already disappeared. He could not help but feel puzzled.
How did Xu Chuchu disappear so quickly? Those who did not know better would think that she had never appeared.
But then, he did not think too much about it.
Since the stilling technique had been resolved, he had to continue doing what he had to do.
He was not sure if Xu Chuchu would give him the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s. He had to rely on himself now.
Thinking of this, he began to drink again. He was going to pick up the bride later.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were shocked.
They were the only people who could retain their memories when time was frozen.
Seeing that there were no changes to their bodies or in front of them, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Yuan Hehe scratched his head. “I remember that those who encounter this technique won’t have any memories. Why can I still remember? Moreover, the surrounding scene hasn’t changed at all. Logically speaking, the s.p.a.ce we’re in should be different.”
“Did you remember wrongly?” Sikong Wuyuan was stunned. “Maybe it’s not like this?”
Yuan Hehe denied it.
“How is this possible? I can’t remember other things, but I remember this very clearly. I was very interested in the stilling technique, so I learned a lot of information. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know so much.”
Sikong Wuyuan also could not figure it out. But then, he shook his head and said, “Forget it. Let’s continue. It’s more important to get the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s first. As for this matter, I think we’ll probably meet the woman who used the stilling technique in the future.”
Yuan Hehe felt that it made sense, so he did not say anything more. Instead, he followed Sikong Wuyuan to the location they were thinking of.
The two of them were extremely fast. They were afraid that if they were one step late, the ceremony would end, and Jiang Ming would not be able to escape from this stronghold.
Chu Wanwan was in a precarious situation.
Although she was awake, she struggled to get away from Chu Yuanxi. However, no matter what she did, she could not break free.
Not only that, but he even provoked her. “You’ll never be able to break free in this lifetime. Don’t waste your energy. Otherwise, be careful that I’ll make a move on Jiu Zhu. Even if I die, I will drag him down with me.”
Chu Wanwan was extremely furious and decided to stop pretending.
“If you continue like this, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life and won’t marry you. Even if I die, I won’t give you my innocence. If you let me go now and let me finish the ritual without hurting Jiu Zhu, I can go with you.”
She had other thoughts in her heart.
She felt that this Chu Yuanxi should be easy to manipulate, and she should be able to deceive him.
Everything they had experienced before was exchanged for by her lies. She did not believe that Chu Yuanxi did not trust her at all, let alone have any compa.s.sion.
As expected, Chu Yuanxi could not help but waver when she heard this.
In fact, he really wanted Chu Wanwan’s sincerity. He also felt that Chu Wanwan should have some feelings for him.
It was just that because he was dead, she had fallen in love with someone else. Since she might be willing to leave with him, he was more than happy to have such a situation.
