Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Brother Parrot is Rescued (7)_1

As she passed the mountain where Tianjizi had launched his attack, she saw his subordinates still laughing uproariously. They were dancing with joy on the outside, but their faces showed unmistakable signs of profound pain. They couldn’t stop themselves.

These followers of the tyrant deserved to die, there was no need for Cai Wei to pity them. She sprinted down the mountain along the trail, her wide Taoist robe billowing in the wind and making a ’huhuhuala’ sound. As she ran, she prayed inwardly, hoping no innocent villagers would come across the cursed men.

When she returned to the village, it was in complete chaos, heavy with the scent of despair.

The ’Rolling Earth Dragon’ the night before had claimed the lives of four or five villagers. Many more were injured, some severely. The unexpected disaster had left the poor villagers devastated. They screamed and wailed, cursing the heavens and the earth.

Cai Wei searched the entire village but couldn’t find Tianjizi’s head. She was baffled.

At this point, a cold voice rang out, "Miss Mu, where is our Master?"

Cai Wei turned around to see Luo Xue, her expression as cold as ever. With a dismissive laugh, Cai Wei replied, "Didn’t your Master order you to treat the wounded? How come you have time to ask about our Master’s whereabouts? Or are you dissatisfied with your Master’s orders and deliberately slacking off here?"

Luo Xue sneered, "Miss is very eloquent, no wonder you have won our Master’s favor. But I have a reminder for you. The Empress Dowager has already found out about you seducing our Master and instigating him to fight Tianjizi. If our Master comes out unscathed, it’s fine. If not, you and your whole family will be beheaded. I wonder if you’ll be able to be as sweet-tongued and glib then?"

Cai Wei listened, giggling quietly, and said lazily, "I believe that the person who most wants to behead me is not the Empress Dowager, but you, right? I find it strange, I didn’t dig up your family’s grave or kill your whole family. Where does this deep grudge against me come from? You want to kill me, not only that, but you also want to kill my entire family. You are really ruthless!"

Luo Xue snorted and spat, "You can think whatever you want. The Empress Dowager has issued a secret decree that you are not allowed to approach His Highness King Qin anymore, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy——"

She uttered the final words through gritted teeth, bitterness edging her tone. She had already reported in detail to the Empress Dowager how she had seduced His Highness, how rude and disrespectful she had been. So why had the Empress Dowager only issued a warning and not directly ordered her execution?

"Hmm..."

Cai Wei laughed, speaking with disdain, "You can go back and tell your Empress Dowager that I have no interest in Nangong Yi. She needn’t worry. Also, I will avoid contact with him as much as I can."

"Really? Do you swear?"

Luo Xue was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, it’s true!"

Cai Wei laughed coldly, "However, I won’t swear to a lowly servant like you. I won’t demean myself like that!"

Upon hearing her words of humiliation, Luo Xue turned red with anger. She gave Cai Wei a vicious stare for awhile before breaking out into laughter.

"What’s wrong with being a servant? I could become a mistress one day too. But you, you’ll always be a crude and disrespectful country girl. No decent man would want to marry an uncultured woman like you. Your future is probably just marrying a farmer and spending your life tilling the land!"

Cai Wei shook her head, "It’s too early to predict one’s future. I can’t tell the future but I can predict one thing right now."

"What?"

Piqued by Cai Wei’s mystery, Luo Xue couldn’t help but ask.

Cai Wei moved closer to her, patted her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "In a while, you’re going to die of laughter!"

With that, she walked away with a flourish.

Luo Xue, puzzled by her meaning, was mulling it over when she suddenly detected an unusual fragrance from her shoulder. Being knowledgeable about medicinal properties, she realized something was off immediately, but it was already too late.

"Ah, hahaha..."

She burst into laughter, pointing in the direction Cai Wei had disappeared, laughing and cursing, "Hahaha...Slut...you played me... Hahaha..."

Most villagers were still engulfed in grief at this point. Hearing someone laughing raucously near the entrance, unable to catch her breath, they were filled with rage. They picked up rotten cabbages, decayed potatoes, and more, hurling them ferociously.

While evading the barrage, Luo Xue continued her guffawing and went off to find other guards.

Listening to the commotion, Cai Wei smirked in the shadows before resuming her search for Tianjizi’s head.

Suddenly, a cheery voice echoed from within the Space, "Quack--Master, I’m back!"

Upon hearing Brother Parrot’s cry, Cai Wei was filled with joy and excitement. Brother Parrot had finally been cured of the Gu poison; he had turned back into the adorable bird he was. This indicated that the old toxic Tianjizi had been completely obliterated!

She thanked the heavens, he was finally dead!

But how had he died, and where was his head?
