Chapter 347 - 347 331 Xiu Niang Awakens_1

347: Chapter 331 Xiu Niang Awakens_1 347: Chapter 331 Xiu Niang Awakens_1 Yuanbao Village.

Inside a farmhouse.

Suzumiya Ichikazu was washing clothes in the courtyard, becoming accustomed to the life in the Cathay rural village during this period.

In her impression, this was the pastoral life described in the books, and now she spent her days washing clothes, cooking, catching chickens, herding ducks, occasionally planting some vegetables and flowers, and taking care of Mu Nanqing.

To her, there was no happy life that could surpass this.

Of course, it would be more perfect if Mu Nanqing could wake up.

Then she could spend a comfortable life with the person she liked.

Meanwhile, Su Ming was practicing in a cool spot in the courtyard, fulfilling his duty to watch and protect the property.

Both of them didn’t notice that a paper effigy had been blown into the yard by the wind and had subsequently landed in front of the door to Mu Nanqing’s room.

A short while later, that paper effigy actually stood up on its own, twisting its little head to look around.

After making sure no one had seen it, it quietly approached the door and slipped through the crack.

The paper effigy made its way to the bedside, lightly leapt onto the bed.

Mu Nanqing lay there with her eyes tightly shut, her expression serene.

The paper effigy adhered directly to Mu Nanqing’s forehead.

At the same time, in the woods behind the farmhouse, Qin Lan was sitting on a rock, casting a spell.

She sensed the location of the paper effigy, and when she confirmed that it had attached to Mu Nanqing’s forehead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

This paper effigy was something she had obtained from Tu Youming after satisfying his perverted desires three times.

Known as the Soul-Controlling Paper Effigy, once stuck to a person’s forehead, it could briefly affect the victim’s mind, making them obey one’s own commands.

Although Mu Nanqing was currently in a deep sleep and couldn’t listen to Qin Lan’s orders, by using the Soul-Controlling Paper Effigy, Qin Lan could influence the foreign soul within Mu Nanqing’s body and stimulate it to wake up.

“Now, let’s see the effect of this paper effigy!” Qin Lan twisted a hand seal and began to activate the effigy’s effects.

Inside the room.

The paper effigy on Qin Lan’s forehead released streaks of purple power, melding into her mind.

Mu Nanqing, who had been lying in peaceful slumber, suddenly furrowed her brows, showing a pained expression on her face.

Inside Mu Nanqing’s sea of consciousness, Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul was still asleep, but upon sensing the power infiltrating from the Soul-Controlling Paper Effigy, her fingers twitched slightly.

In the courtyard.

Suzumiya Ichikazu had hung the washed clothes up to dry and planned to go into the fields to pick some vegetables to bring back.

At that moment, the main gate of the yard was suddenly pushed open.

Suzumiya Ichikazu and Su Ming simultaneously looked toward the entrance.

When they saw who was coming, their faces lit up with excitement.

“Big Brother Lu Chuan!”

“Big Brother!”

Both approached the entrance.

Lu Chuan looked at them with a smile and said, “You’ve worked hard during this time.”

Suzumiya Ichikazu replied haughtily, “It’s not hard at all, I find this life very comfortable, and if I can, I would like to spend my whole life like this with Sister Nanqing.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Suzumiya Ichikazu and flicked her forehead with his finger, “You girl, you wouldn’t have really fallen for your sister-in-law, would you?

Why don’t women like men anymore these days?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu covered her head, feeling both shy and annoyed, “What are you talking about?

I simply admire Sister Nanqing.

I’m not as dirty-minded as you think!”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, then turned to Su Ming, “How has the sister-in-law been recently?”

Su Ming smiled, “Very stable.

Ichikazu has been taking good care of her.”

Lu Chuan nodded and then walked towards the room to see Mu Nanqing’s condition for himself.

However, just as he reached the door, he felt an evil presence and immediately furrowed his brows.

Su Ming asked in confusion, “Big Brother, what’s wrong?”

Without a word, Lu Chuan quickly opened the door and saw the paper effigy infiltrating power into Mu Nanqing’s mind.

His expression changed, and he quickly rushed over.

He examined the paper effigy and soon confirmed it was something that could control one’s mind.

He then hurriedly cast a technique to stop the paper effigy from continuing its intrusion into Mu Nanqing’s mind.

Then, he removed the paper effigy from Mu Nanqing’s forehead and sensed the direction of the person who was controlling the effigy by feeling the source of the power.

He quickly determined the position of the person behind the manipulation.

“You two take care of the sister-in-law.

I’m going to see who dares to use such underhanded tactics on her behind our backs!”

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan quickly left the room and dashed towards the back mountain.

Suzumiya Ichikazu and Su Ming both had bewildered expressions.

They couldn’t have anticipated that someone would take a shot at Mu Nanqing so stealthily.

If Lu Chuan hadn’t coincidentally returned today and stumbled upon this incident, who knows what might have happened to Mu Nanqing.

The two exchanged glances, both secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Atop the back mountain.

Qin Lan was focusing intently on controlling the paper effigy when suddenly, her expression changed, and she opened her eyes.

“Someone has interrupted my spell casting, have I been discovered?”

As she pondered, she sensed a terrifying presence rushing towards her at high speed.

“Damn it!

Why is Lu Chuan here at this time!”

Her expression alarmed, she quickly stood up and fled up the mountain while starting to activate the escape talisman given to her by Tu Youming.

Lu Chuan, sensing Qin Lan’s presence, roared, “Do you think you can escape?

You and I have no grudge, why do you want to harm my sister-in-law!”

At this moment, he couldn’t yet see the other person’s face clearly.

But judging by the aura, this was someone he had never met before.

However, there was a familiar feeling within that person’s aura, although it was very faint, almost to the point of nonexistence.

Soon, Lu Chuan caught up to Qin Lan.

At that moment, Qin Lan stopped, turned around to look at Lu Chuan, and revealed a smile filled with hatred.

“No grudge?

Do you have the nerve to say such a thing to me?”

Lu Chuan also stopped, and upon seeing the other person’s face, he showed an incredulous expression, “Qin Lan?!!”

Qin Lan let out a cold laugh and said, “You actually recognize me, Lu Chuan.

Isn’t that a surprise?”

Lu Chuan, slightly overwhelmed, asked, “Back then, I left you on the desolate mountain; you should’ve quickly been surrounded by a wolf pack.

How did you survive?”

Qin Lan huffed and said, “I have a tough life.

I met a master with vast Divine Skills who rescued me and even taught me how to cultivate.

But do you know how much humiliation I’ve suffered following him!”

“To survive, I had no dignity, no bottom line, like a plaything to be trampled upon, living a life so painful I wished for death every day!”

“This is all thanks to you!”

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, “You brought this upon yourself.

If I had known that you had such a strong will to live, that you could survive even that, I should have strangled you on the spot!”

Qin Lan burst into laughter and said, “Yes, I wanted to see you regret this!”

“Although I don’t have the power to kill you, I can turn the lives of those around you into a mess.

Seeing how much you regret not killing me makes me feel so damn good!”

Lu Chuan frowned and suddenly thought of something, asking, “Qingci and Ling’er, are you behind all this?”

Qin Lan smirked and said, “Correct!

You’ve had quite a headache because of them, haven’t you?

Seeing you so conflicted makes me so happy!”

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth and cursed, “I knew someone would come after me like this.

It seems it’s only you, this crazed woman!”

Qin Lan pursed her lips and said, “I’m crazed?

Why don’t you look at what you turned me into!

This is retribution for you!”

“Now your beloved sister-in-law has been ensnared by me, and if I’m not mistaken, the other soul hiding inside her is about to awaken.

Soon, Mu Nanqing’s soul will be devoured, and you’ll never see your beloved sister-in-law again!”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he shouted furiously, “You’re seeking death!”

Qin Lan laughed loudly and said, “You do have the ability to kill me, but unfortunately, you can’t stop me from escaping.

My bantering with you here is just to buy time for that soul in Mu Nanqing to seize the opportunity!”

“Lu Chuan, I’ve been miserably defeated by you every time before, but this time, you’ve lost to me thoroughly!”

“You better hurry back, or else you’ll never see your dearly loved Mu Nanqing again!”

Power suddenly erupted from Lu Chuan’s body, surging directly at Qin Lan, “Die!”

Qin Lan’s face changed slightly, quickly activating the talisman, and billowing smoke appeared.

Her figure rapidly vanished on the spot.

The force released by Lu Chuan pierced through the smoke, hitting nothing, and ultimately blasted a huge pit in the mountain.

“Lu Chuan, wait and see.

One day, I’ll make you experience the pain I’ve gone through.

That day won’t be far off!”

Qin Lan’s voice echoed through the woods.

Lu Chuan cursed under his breath, realizing that she had used a specifically designed talisman for escaping.

It was impossible to catch up now.

Worried about Mu Nanqing’s situation, he no longer hesitated and hurried back towards the farmhouse.

Lu Chuan returned to the farmhouse, rushed to the door, pushed it open, and entered, calling out eagerly, “How is my sister-in-law’s situation?”

The next second, he saw Mu Nanqing sitting on the bed in a seductive pose, stroking her hair and smiling seductively at him.

Meanwhile, Suzumiya Ichikazu and Su Ming had vigilant looks on their faces and were staring tensely at Mu Nanqing, with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Lu Chuan’s heart skipped a beat as he stared at “Mu Nanqing” and asked, “Are you…

Xiu Niang?”

Mu Nanqing smiled and gave Lu Chuan a coquettish wink, saying, “Xiaochuan, what are you blabbering about?

I’m your sister-in-law, ah.

Come to sister-in-law’s arms, let me give you some love.

Sister Nanqing knows many things!”
