I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 600 Burn More Paper Money

Before Wen Qingqing could finish speaking, everyone turned to look at her at the same time.

Lu Yangyang looked even more incredulous: "You've even met him?"

Yan Yue stared at Wen Qingqing in shock: "You...you...you...that female ghost?"

Wen Qingqing rolled her eyes without any regard for her image.

Sheng Yunjiao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Wen Qingqing's hand and asked quickly, "Quick, tell me, how did Yan Xiaoyue mistake the fairy for a ghost?"

Wen Qingqing blinked: "It was when I was gathering herbs in the mountains earlier that I encountered a group of people carrying corpses passing by at night. They were on patrol, and the group was so scared that they were crying and wailing in the graveyard. Two of them were even unlucky enough to get infected with a kind of mold, and their bodies were covered in spots. They were crying and screaming that they had been poisoned by corpses and were sure to die. I couldn't stand their noise anymore, so I came out and cured them. Then, in the middle of the night, they became convinced that I must be some kind of female ghost, which was why I cured the corpse poison. They even asked where my grave was and wanted to burn more paper money for me another day. I was so angry that I scared them by saying that I, as a female ghost, specialize in eating unfaithful men and that they should never get married, or I would eat them in my dreams!"

Then she pointed at Yan Yue: "He shouted the loudest, saying what if he has someone he likes?"

After Wen Qingqing finished speaking, Yan Yue's face turned bright red in an instant.

The next instant, Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao practically burst into laughter, "Hahahaha—"

Even Li Shisan couldn't help but chuckle, but still kindly tried to smooth things over: "The southwest is mostly forested, and many mushrooms are poisonous. If you accidentally come into contact with them or eat them, it's easy to develop all sorts of symptoms, which is quite dangerous. If they're not local villagers, they probably don't know that..."

Sheng Yun giggled, clutching her stomach and unable to straighten up: "I really didn't know it was so funny before you asked, hahaha, Yan Xiaoyue, you're really good, so promising! Your sweetheart..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Yue quickly covered her mouth, glaring at her with embarrassment and annoyance: "Stop talking, stop talking, stop laughing!"

"Pfft—" Lu Yangyang couldn't help but laugh again.

The group burst into laughter again.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing, stop laughing," Lu Yangyang said, forcing herself to stop. "Let's go, if we keep laughing, people will think we've gone hysterical!"

They are not far from the Gu God Temple. Although there are not many people around, their laughter will surely attract people.

Lu Yangyang got down to business with Li Shisan: "Have you caught the person who threw the flowers?"

Li Shisan nodded: "We caught him, but he was just acting under orders. He's an outsider, and after talking for a long time, he still couldn't say what the other person looked like or what his purpose was. He just accepted the goods and did this. They came from the same tribe, so they were numerous and powerful. I had no choice but to release him."

"It seems either His Highness's people suspect Jiao Jiao's identity and are trying to test her, or they think our actions are attracting too much attention and are deliberately causing trouble," Lu Yangyang said gravely. "With the other party not showing themselves directly, it will be very difficult for us to catch them in this situation."

The area around the Gu God Temple is now crowded with people from all over the country. Apart from a very few people who cultivate alone, most of them are in groups. If they go looking for trouble, it will become even more troublesome.

"Then what should we do? Should we still set up our stall tomorrow?" Li Shisan asked.

Others looked over too.

Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "The other side has already tested us today, which means they've been exposed to our view. With both sides in the shadows, they won't take any further action in the short term. Jiaojiao has already told the story today, and it will spread by word of mouth. Tomorrow, even more people will want to hear it. As long as we subtly persist for the next few days, we'll make a deep impression on most of those who hear the story, and then we'll have achieved our goal."

However, Lu Yangyang was still a little worried and turned to Yan Yue to ask, "How many people did you bring? Are there any people you can move out of the way?"

“Of course!” Yan Yue immediately understood Lu Yangyang’s meaning: “Leave it to me. I’ll have someone watch over Sheng Xiaosi, so you can rest assured!”

Lu Yangyang nodded and said to him, "I haven't introduced you yet. This is Wen Qingqing and Brother Li. Qingqing is the legendary Little Fairy Doctor. Brother Li is from Miao territory. I've already told you about him."

Then, Wen Qingqing and Li Shisan were introduced, "This is Yan Yue, whom I mentioned to you before."

Everyone nodded to each other, and Li Shisan said, "Since everyone is alright, I'll go buy some food first. We'll find a place to camp tonight and won't go back."

It would take them quite a while to get back to their rented place from the Gu God Temple, so they might as well stay here.

They found a quiet place to tidy up a bit, and Li Shisan quickly brought back all the food and set it out.

After they had almost finished eating, Lu Yangyang told Yan Yue about their thoughts and plans. Yan Yue listened to Lu Yangyang's analysis and nodded in agreement, subconsciously lowering his voice: "You two really thought of the same thing. My cousin also said that His Highness came here to mobilize troops to attack Yuechuan Kingdom. The Longevity Gu is just an excuse. Whether or not there is the Longevity Gu, His Highness will still devise a plan to have His Majesty order an attack on Yuechuan Kingdom."

Lu Yangyang hurriedly asked him, "What did he say?"

If they can cooperate, they might be able to resolve the crisis in Yuechuan Kingdom smoothly.

Yan Yue shook his head: "I don't know what his plan is. He just told me to stay near the Gu God Temple and said that there would be results on the day of the sacrificial ceremony. It seems that there are some questions that have not been answered and we have to find King Yuechuan."

Wen Qingqing asked curiously, "Could there be some key point with King Yuechuan? But is King Yuechuan someone so easy to meet?"

Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "As long as our goals are aligned, we will proceed according to the original plan. Once we prove that the Longevity Gu does not exist, we can create obstacles for His Highness, and our mission will be accomplished. That's all we can do; we'll just do our best."

They might not be able to turn the tide on their own, but Lu Yangyang always believed that when their strength was combined, they could still play a role.

The people of Yuechuan Kingdom are innocent, and so are those who come from afar to pursue their faith.

They all didn't want these innocent people to lose their lives because of the selfishness of some people.

Just like the more than one hundred lives lost in Yuhua Village in Miao territory, just like Yan Yue knowingly went to save those who needed to be saved even though he knew it was a trap. They live in this world and do their part as much as they can. Little by little, they can accumulate into something great, and even the smallest sparks of light can eventually come together to form a great light.

Yan Yue was the first to extend his hand: "Count me in!"
