Niuniuâs mother isnât foolish. When she saw Niuniu in distress and then heard Suisuiâs words, she instinctively regarded the Emperor as a savior!
Thatâs why she pleaded so earnestly with the Emperor.
Upon hearing Xie Panâer, she immediately shifted her approach and turned to beg Yun Kuo.
"Young Hero Yun, please save my Niuniu! You are one of the Immortals; Iâll kneel before you, Iâll set up a longevity tablet for you. As long as you save my daughter, Iâll offer you incense every day and worship you as if youâre an Ancestor!"
Yun Kuo found it difficult and hurriedly helped the woman up, saying, "Auntie, donât worry. I just observed, and Niuniu might not have completely lost her mind. Looking at her current state, it might not be as we thought."
Yun Kuoâs words left everyone puzzled, and they couldnât help but focus their attention on Niuniu.
At this moment, Niuniu was holding her head, at times with tears streaming down her face, at times with a contorted expression!
Suddenly, the Emperor remembered that the previous evening when they entered the city, this young girl suddenly experienced a surge in witch power and was controlled by Xunyang. This was all because her parents were losing their minds due to Tonghua and were about to be taken away by the soldiers. Her desperate pleas failed, which gave Xunyang a chance.
"You should talk to her more, shout for her. As long as your daughterâs will is firm enough to suppress Xunyang, who is controlling her divine soul, she might have a chance of survival!"
The Emperorâs words brought a look of great joy to the womanâs face.
"Niuniu! Iâm your mother! Niuniu, look at me, Niuniu..."
The woman looked at Niuniu with tears streaming down, mumbling and whispering a lot of words.
"Will this work?"
Not understanding this, Xie Panâer sighed softly and asked nervously in a low voice.
The Emperor said, "I think it should work. Previously, Princess Ata was also controlled by Xunyang with the Gu Insect, and she almost committed suicide by banging her head against the wall in the Imperial Study,
but then Suisui managed to pull the insect out of her, and she was safe and sound."
When the Emperor said this, Xie Panâer couldnât help but turn to look at Princess Ata.
Coincidentally, Princess Ata also looked over at her and even smiled faintly.
"I didnât expect the Emperor to remember things that happened so long ago. Can I interpret this as the Emperor actually cares a lot about me and holds my matters in high regard?"
When Princess Ata said this, Xie Panâerâs breathing suddenly became much heavier.
The Emperor opened his folding fan to cover his embarrassed face, cleared his throat lightly, and said, "In the current situation, we can only take a gamble. As for the final result..."
The Emperor suddenly fell silent because he realized that it seemed a lot of things required his precious daughter to resolve!
Could it be that without his precious daughter, the world would fall into chaos?
The Emperor had this thought, and an inexplicable sense of panic arose in his heart!
"Whatâs the result?"
Princess Ata pressed further!
The Emperor did not answer; instead, he looked in Niuniuâs direction.
"Xunyang! If you know whatâs good for you, youâll leave here immediately. Otherwise, my precious daughter wonât be polite to you!"
Suddenly, the Emperor shouted towards Niuniuâs direction!
Dugu Xiao and others knew who Xunyang was, but the commoners present did not. They asked, who is Xunyang?
However, no one told them.
Nevertheless, in just a moment, they all knew.
Xunyang was the one responsible for making them lose their divine consciousness!
Because as soon as the Emperor finished speaking, Niuniuâs tear-streaked face turned into a cold and ruthless one, even with a hint of malice.
"Hmph! Little Emperor of the Great Han, donât try to deceive me. With so many ordinary people and houses here, Celestial Daozi canât use Phoenix Fire to burn me!
Now Iâm extremely happy, looking at your expressions wishing for me to go to hell yet not able to do anything about it. I really enjoy it!"
The words coming out of the little girlâs mouth made everyone shudder.
They didnât know who Celestial Daozi was, nor did they know about Phoenix Fire.
But now it was confirmed that another person existed inside Niuniuâs body.
"This... This is a demon!
Li Familyâs Niuniu has been consumed by a demon spirit?
How could there be another personâs voice inside her body?"
The commoners huddled together in fear, some of them already fleeing.
"Who are you?
Whereâs my Niuniu?
You demon, give my Niuniu back!"
Niuniuâs mother went crazy upon hearing Xunyangâs voice and furiously stumbled towards Niuniu.
Her actions were sudden and unexpected, and just as everyone saw her run forward, Princess Ata shouted anxiously.
"Come back, Niuniuâs mother, itâs dangerous!"
But it was too late; as soon as Niuniuâs mother stepped out of the safe zone, she was restrained.
"Youâre too much of a nuisance to be alive!"
The words coming out of the little girlâs mouth clearly did not belong to her, and at this moment, everyone knew she was not Niuniu herself!
"Ni... Ni... Iâm... Iâm... mom... mom!"
The womanâs breath was labored as a ring of black mist tightened around her neck, relentlessly squeezing. She struggled and shouted.
Her mouth kept uttering, "Niuniu, look at me, Niuniu... Niuniu..." and so on.
Tears streamed down her face in torrents.
"Save... save someone!"
In the crowd, someone shouted loudly.
"Niuniu! Childâs mother!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man also rushed over and was immediately restrained by another black mist as soon as he did.
The black mist also coiled over his neck, round and round.
"Niuniu... Iâm Dad... Daddy... you... donât... ugh..."
The middle-aged man couldnât say a complete sentence; he couldnât breathe, and his face turned liver-colored!
"What do we do? Are... are we just going to watch like this?"
At this point, Dugu Xiao belatedly asked Ji Youzhi.
Ji Youzhi shook his head, "That girl still has divine consciousness. The consequences of our actions..."
Everyone nodded, including Yun Kuo, who added, "Didnât you notice? When Niuniu was controlling that woman, she didnât absorb her essence and vitality?"
"So..." Xie Panâer couldnât help but brighten up, "Doesnât this mean the child can still be saved?"
Suddenly, Xiaosuisui chimed in, "Xunyang is controlling her through the Gu Insect, just like she controlled Princess Ata. We need to control her to remove the Gu Insect inside her!"
When Xiaosuisui said this, everyone turned to look at her.
Apart from Princess Ata and the Emperor, others were astonished and asked, "But even if we control her, who can remove the Gu Insect inside her?"
Several people asked, including Yun Kuo and Dugu Xiao.
The Emperor and Ji Youzhi both pointed towards Xiaosuisui.
"Her!"
"No way! Are you joking?"
Dugu Xiao was the first to express disbelief, "How can the eldest princess, so young, remove the Gu Insect?"
Yun Kuo also believed the Emperor was joking.
"Suisui is still young; donât let the Gu Insect scare her!"
Yun Kuo immediately said.
Those who knew the truthâThe Emperor and others: ...
"Itâs okay, Uncle Yun Kuo, Suisuiâs not afraid!"
As soon as she said this, she suddenly darted out, raising her little palm high, holding a hint of flame.
