Chapter 893: Chapter 434: Jiang Yi’s Jealousy?_2

If the moon turned full, Jiang Shouzhong would dig a pit on the spot, carefully holding Jiang Yi, hiding in the hole. During this, he tentatively extended his hand, the scorching waves burning his hand painfully.

This also made Jiang Shouzhong more convinced that his choice was the right one.

In this way, they went round and round, and they never saw that village again, always walking in the desert.

After about a long trek of two hours, the sky suddenly changed.

The originally high-hanging bright moon suddenly dimmed.

Then the moon, like shattered glass, turned into dots of light, dissipating completely.

And at the moment the moonlight vanished, Jiang Shouzhong jerked his head up, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. The mysterious village actually appeared right in front of him without warning.

The only difference was that the village now no longer had the newness and dead stillness of the previous Youtan Illusion.

Although still uninhabited, a sense of desolate decay rushed in. Dilapidated walls interspersed among overgrown weeds.

The house they once sheltered in now only had a precariously standing mud wall.

There was also no red box inside.

"The place Fang Zishang asked us to find, it should be like this, and he’s probably here too."

Jiang Shouzhong looked around, found a relatively intact house in comparison, walked in, put Jiang Yi down, took a long breath and said, "Let’s rest for a while first."

Jiang Yi surveyed the house and asked:

"What do you think this village used to be? Why would You Tan be trapped here?"

"I don’t know."

Jiang Shouzhong drew his sword to clear away the cobwebs in the corner, took out a dust-covered chair, tore a corner of his clothes, and meticulously wiped the dust off the seat, "But what I care more about is whether the Water Moon Dream Mirror actually killed You Tan."

After the man wiped the chair clean, Jiang Yi unceremoniously sat down gracefully.

The woman’s brows furrowed lightly, "If You Tan isn’t dead, then what?"

Jiang Shouzhong sighed, "What do you think? If even the Water Moon Dream Mirror can’t kill her, then we’re really in trouble. No matter what, this is still her territory."

"It’s okay, with you here, I’m not worried."

Jiang Yi habitually crossed her left leg over her right, her long stockings rubbing against each other, making a subtle rustling sound, and smiled, "At worst, we die together."

"I don’t want to die, if I can’t save you by then, I’d definitely run first."

Jiang Shouzhong joked.

Jiang Yi slightly tilted her head, her jade-like fingers brushing through her long hair, casually curling a strand at her fingertip, her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice soft yet teasing, "Would you really?"

As she spoke, the woman squinted her eyes, resembling a lazy cat, her eyes filled with charming allure as they flowed.

Having gone through life and death, overcoming mental barriers, the pair traveling together felt much more at ease.

And with Jiang Yi’s character restored, her every smile and frown inevitably carried her unique seductive charm.

Of course, Jiang Shouzhong knew well that this woman, despite appearing deeply seductive, as if trying to entice everyone, had a heart that was arrogantly cold as ice.

If you truly flirted with her, she’d definitely turn hostile.

Even though he understood her nature, gazing at the woman’s enchanting eyes, Jiang Shouzhong’s heart was nonetheless stirred.

He discreetly averted his gaze, looking elsewhere, lightly cleared his throat, shifted the topic, feigned casualness, and muttered to himself, "I wonder how Fang Zishang is doing."

Jiang Yi, thinking of the "Water Moon Dream Mirror" on him, curiously asked, "How did something like the Water Moon Dream Mirror end up on you? If it fails, will we really die?"

"I don’t understand which bastard put it on me either, but I really hate this thing."

Jiang Shouzhong was filled with resentment.

He now had somewhat of an understanding of the Water Moon Dream Mirror.

Moreover, he realized that the Demon Venerable didn’t fully understand the Water Moon Dream Mirror either; he never grasped it completely.

In Jiang Shouzhong’s view, this thing might not have the ability to foresee the future.

If it hasn’t happened, where’s the future?

And those "future scenes" he dreamed or saw were just a play woven by the Water Moon Dream Mirror, and you had to follow its script and act it out.

Of course, this play had logic to it.

It doesn’t give a scene without reason, but rather deduces based on a series of events around it, more like a novelist constructing a plot.

Of course, these are just Jiang Shouzhong’s initial speculations.

However, speaking of this, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered that after passing the third challenge, the Water Moon Dream Mirror didn’t give a reward.

Or is it that the reward will be given after leaving this cursed place?

"Someone’s coming."

Jiang Yi suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Shouzhong’s train of thought.

Jiang Shouzhong looked up and saw a figure slowly approaching from a distance, and as the distance closed, he recognized the figure as the burly man Fang Zishang, who had previously traveled with them.

"Brother Fang."

Jiang Shouzhong went up to him.

Fang Zishang was holding a rotten woman’s head in his hand and grinned at Jiang Shouzhong, saying, "I waited for ages, thought you weren’t going to come."

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Brother Fang, did you find your wife?"

Fang Zishang casually threw the head on the ground, swearing:

"That You Tan is hiding somewhere, can’t find her alive or dead. I even went to her lair but saw no sign of her. Killed some of her subordinates but didn’t get the location of the Sacrificial Land."

"Could she be dead?"

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t tell him the details of the Water Moon Dream Mirror, half-truthfully said, "I saw that woman, seemed like she was punished and her body dissipated."

"Dead?"

Fang Zishang was stunned, rubbing his rough, stubbly chin, "Doesn’t seem right."

Fang Zishang looked up at the sky with a cold laugh:

"No worries, the night of the eclipse is almost here, there will definitely be a way to find the Sacrificial Land. If she’s really dead, so be it. If she’s still alive, I’ll hack off her damned head myself!"

At this moment, Jiang Shouzhong was only concerned about Er Liang’s safety. Hearing that the other had been to You Tan’s lair, he asked, "Brother Fang, did you see a little girl?"

Fang Zishang shook his head, "Didn’t see her. She must have been imprisoned by You Tan at the Sacrificial Land. Anyway, just wait with me, as long as I’m here, your friend will be fine."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded heavily.

Fang Zishang entered the room, glanced at Jiang Yi without greeting the woman, and sat in a corner, closing his eyes pretending to sleep.

It was clear he wasn’t fond of Jiang Yi.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yi had questioned his wife’s ability to be resurrected, or perhaps for other reasons.

And Jiang Yi couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly outside, occasionally glancing at Jiang Shouzhong, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes.

Time slowly passed, the surroundings so quiet that only the faint sound of wind accompanied them.

The sky, now devoid of the bright moon, wasn’t much darker, instead shrouded in a blend of grey and blue hues.

It was unclear how long passed, but suddenly the sky turned completely dark, like a massive black curtain draping over everything in the world.

Then, a giant full moon appeared, like a silver disc hanging high in the sky, with impressive majesty, casting down a pale white light.

The village was illuminated like daylight, yet it exuded an indescribable chilling coldness.

The small dog originally nestled at the woman’s feet suddenly became agitated, ran out barking wildly at the moon.

Simultaneously, the dilapidated houses in the village suddenly became whole, with "double happiness" characters posted on walls and doors, and lights lit up inside.

On the windows, the silhouettes of graceful brides appeared.

Only the house where Jiang Shouzhong and the others were staying showed no change.

Fang Zishang lifted his giant sword and said to Jiang Shouzhong:

"To find the Sacrificial Land, there are only two methods. One, kill all the brides in these houses, or two, consummate with them. Kid, which will you choose?"

Jiang Shouzhong instinctively looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes and sneered, "Why are you looking at me? I’m not your wife. Go sleep with whoever you want. You don’t expect me to push you from behind, do you?"

Fang Zishang laughed, "Strange, why does it sound like there’s a trace of jealousy."
