"Why must you insist on pushing her to her death?"
Yun Kuoâs fear intensified. Anger surged within him, and he sternly questioned.
"Heh heh!
What grudges or resentment could she possibly have with me?
The Child of Destiny, upon whom all the fortune of the Celestial Dao is concentrated."
Xiaosuisui listened intently to what the Black Mist said, but she only understood about thirty percent of it.
"Ah!
Since Iâm about to die anyway, could you explain everything a bit more clearly?
What is a Child of Destiny?
Who is an envoy of the Celestial Dao?
Why donât you just explain it clearly, so I can at least die an informed ghost!"
Upon hearing what Xiaosuisui said, Ji Youzhi affectionately called out, "Suisui."
However, Xiaosuisui turned to Ji Youzhi, winked, and playfully stuck out her tongue.
Ji Youzhi was familiar with this gesture of hers and thought:
Is Suisui buying us time? Does she have some plan to deal with this Mr. Wu?
However, before he could voice his doubt, he heard the Black Mist answer Xiaosuisuiâs question.
"You are an envoy of justice, the incarnation of the Celestial Dao, and I am a Witch God sealed by the path of righteousness. I am determined to break the Seal and return to the human realm.
If you donât die, and if you are allowed to keep growing, you will become a serious threat to me in the future.
A stumbling block on my path to breaking the Seal!"
Xiaosuisui was stunned.
Yun Kuoâs mouth fell open in shock.
Ji Youzhi recalled the auspicious omens that had appeared when Xiaosuisui was born.
Later, his Second Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother had both clearly stated that Xiaosuisui possessed immense fortune.
The Emperor had even said that she was Great Hanâs Lucky Star.
"I remember when the National Master was searching south for the child born under auspicious omens, he once said that the Lucky Star carried the fate of the entire Great Han nation!" Ji Youzhi whispered to Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisuiâs eyes widened further, for she understood very well.
Although the National Master had identified Li Yanyan as the Lucky Star, she, Li Suisui, had also been born when the auspicious omens descended!
"This... Is Seventh Uncle implying that before the National Master began searching for the Lucky Star, this Great Wizard of Nanjiang already knew of my existence?"
Ji Youzhi was a seasoned investigator; by this time, he had already connected many possibilities in his mind.
"But back then, Old Madam Li clearly shattered your internal organs with her own hands!"
Could it be, Ji Youzhi wondered, that Old Madam Liâs entire family were agents of the Great Wizard of Nanjiang?
Xiaosuisui said, "I havenât figured that out yet. Why donât we ask him?"
Xiaosuisui pointed at the swirling Black Mist.
Ji Youzhiâs eyes suddenly lit up, and he loudly asked the Black Mist, "I am very curious, and I really canât figure it out. Old Madam Li was just a peasant woman. How could she have such a cruel heart to personally kill her own granddaughter?"
As soon as Ji Youzhi spoke, the Black Mist burst into a smug laugh, its sound reeking of self-satisfaction.
"It seems that you are trying to stall for time. Have you thought of an escape plan?" Ji Youzhi quietly asked Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui gave Ji Youzhi a slight smile and whispered back in a very, very soft voice, "I can feel Da Fengâs aura. I think it wonât be long before she flies here."
Hearing Da Fengâs name, Ji Youzhiâs eyes lit up, excitement evident in his expression.
However, his excitement had just begun when he heard a disdainful and contemptuous scoff from within the Black Mist.
"As long as they are human, they will have weaknesses. And as long as there are weaknesses, this venerable one will have a way to exploit them!"
"Do you think you can toy with everyone in the palm of your hand forever?" Xiaosuisui retorted.
Xiaosuisui sensed Da Fengâs position and was finally able to determine her distance. Her expression relaxed a little.
The Black Mistâs voice remained contemptuous and disdainful. "Thatâs right. As long as I wish it, I can toy with everyone in the palm of my hand, including you!"
Xiaosuisui also gave it a contemptuous smile.
"You think I will definitely die here today, donât you?"
"Thatâs right. Donât think I donât know youâre stalling for time. Little baby doll, you are indeed capable and talented.
But I wonât give you time to grow. Today, I will crush you to death right here. Having an entire Wangwu Mountain to accompany you in burial, you should consider it an honor!"
As soon as the Black Mist finished speaking, Xiaosuisuiâs, Ji Youzhiâs, and Yun Kuoâs heads buzzed!
"You want to destroy Wangwu Mountain?
This is your Secret Base in Nanjiang. If you destroy it, can you bear to part with it?" Yun Kuo was the first to panic and hurriedly asked.
"Youâve all seen them, havenât you? The entrances to those few Mountain Caves. I wonât hide it from you; those dwelling inside have all been infused with Witch Power by this venerable one.
They are merely Puppets who diligently cultivate Witchcraft to supply this venerable one and enhance my own Witch Power."
Xiaosuisui, Ji Youzhi, and Yun Kuoâs expressions changed drastically.
"You turned the residents from both sides of the Yunhang Coast into human Puppets?
You inhuman monster! I will capture you and take you back to Great Han for trial!
And bring justice to the residents on both sides of our Great Hanâs Yunhang Coast!" Knowing the truth, Ji Youzhiâs anger flared, and his chest ached terribly!
"Alright, Iâve said enough. Now, go die!"
The moment the Black Mistâs voice fell, it immediately manifested three long tentacles, which shot towards the necks of Xiaosuisui, Ji Youzhi, and Yun Kuo respectively.
Seeing the tentacles materialized by the Black Mist, two beams of white light suddenly flashed from Xiaosuisuiâs eyes. Her small hands darted left and right, swiftly snatching a tuft of hair from her Seventh Uncle Ji Youzhi and another from Uncle Yun Kuo!
Her sudden action instantly caused Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo to grimace and bare their teeth in pain.
Xiaosuisui had no time to bother with them. At this moment, she hurriedly clutched the hair and formed several hand seals. Instantly, three figures appeared in their original positions.
Two men and one girl: the men were Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo, and the girl was Xiaosuisui herself!
The appearance of these three figures left Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo completely dumbfounded.
