Chapter 1326 - 386: Peach Blossom Miasma
According to the statistics collected by Ye Lingyue and Di Shen, two-thirds of the townsfolk have already been possessed by Vengeful Aura.
"We can’t continue like this. We must launch a counterattack. Di Shen, starting tomorrow, we need to capture some townsfolk every day. I will take responsibility for curing them of the Vengeful Aura."
Ye Lingyue believed that without identifying the source of the Vengeful Aura, they couldn’t just sit idly by.
Her Cauldron Breath could treat the Vengeful Aura, and as long as the townsfolk weren’t reinfected, the worsening of the Vengeful Aura could be avoided.
However, Cauldron Breath couldn’t be overused. According to her own estimation, she could treat about twenty people a day at most.
"Wife, won’t this be too exhausting for you?"
Di Shen felt worried for his wife.
But seeing that Ye Lingyue had made up her mind, Di Shen had no other option.
He decided to first rescue Senior Sister Wan Yun and Huang Jun.
During the day, many Ghosts were roaming the town, so after some thought, Di Shen decided to launch a sneak attack at night.
"Di Shen, I heard you plan to capture those infected by the Vengeful Aura. I’ll accompany you."
Just as Di Shen was preparing to leave, Luo Qianche followed him.
Di Shen frowned, as aside from protecting his wife, he usually liked to act alone.
But Luo Qianche had behaved unusually today. After an earlier unpleasantness with Ye Lingyue, she didn’t throw a tantrum like a young lady. Instead, she uncharacteristically helped the townsfolk with their daily needs. Now, she was volunteering to go to the ancestral hall to capture people. Di Shen found it somewhat strange.
"Two people can look after each other. Don’t you want to rescue your companions sooner?" Luo Qianche persisted, refusing to leave Di Shen.
Helpless, Di Shen had no choice but to go with her to the ancestral hall.
"I just got a map from the Mayor that can take a shortcut to the ancestral hall. Why don’t you follow me?" Luo Qianche said, raising a map in her hand.
Di Shen remained indifferent. He only wanted to go and return quickly to avoid making his wife anxious at the dock.
Seeing that Di Shen had no objections, a look of joy flashed in Luo Qianche’s eyes. She and Di Shen leaped through the air and had already crossed most of Yuliao Town.
"Not good, someone is following us." Just as they were flying past a residential house, Luo Qianche suddenly exclaimed and grabbed Di Shen’s hand. The two landed in a courtyard together.
The courtyard was empty, evidently because the people had fled due to the Ghost incident.
"Where is anyone?" Di Shen calmly withdrew his arm from Luo Qianche’s hand and looked around.
At this moment, a shadow flitted past ahead.
Di Shen quickly advanced and struck at the shadow with his palm.
A cold wind blew past, but there was no one where the shadow had been. Only a curtain remained.
Di Shen lifted the curtain, and at that moment, a pink Mist Smoke sprayed from behind it.
Di Shen inhaled a breath of smoke and sensed something amiss, hastily retreating a few steps.
Upon entering his nose, the smoke made Di Shen feel dizzy.
The courtyard behind him was filled with swirling pink Mist Smoke.
Luo Qianche also inhaled quite a bit of smoke. Her cheeks flushed, feeling her body grow hot.
She tore at her clothes until only her undergarments remained, then walked towards the tall figure ahead.
Di Shen also felt an intense heat coursing through his body, as if something in his lower abdomen was about to explode.
A pair of hands snaked around his waist like serpents.
The soft body of a woman pressed closer.
He heard a whispering voice.
"Di Shen, I want you."
Di Shen turned around, his eyes flooding with red blood vessels.
In front of him, a silhouette wavered.
It was a woman’s face, growing clearer and morphing into the face of Ye Lingyue.
Seeing the two people in the courtyard drawing closer, on the courtyard wall, Guangzi watched, beaming with delight.
"Haha, Di Shen, let’s see if you can escape this time."
As it turned out, this had all been a trap set by Guangzi and Luo Qianche.
With Xi Jiuye in the forefront, Guangzi had always worried about his Sister being deceived again by a scoundrel. To set up this trap here, Guangzi even drove away the Divine Servants from his side.
For some reason, he always felt that Di Shen and Xi Jiuye were similar. Both had impressive appearances and formidable strength.
More than that, Di Shen was even more inscrutable than Xi Jiuye.
Di Shen’s body exuded a terrifying Evil Qi that made Guangzi shudder every time he approached. Guangzi couldn’t understand how his Sister could endure Di Shen.
After pondering, Guangzi came up with this scheme, teaming up with Luo Qianche to trap Di Shen.
The pink Mist Smoke was called peach blossom miasma, a special poisonous powder with aphrodisiac and Illusion Technique properties. Once touched, humans, gods, and demons couldn’t escape it.
Guangzi lay on the wall, gloating, convinced his plan was perfect.
"If Sister finds out, she’ll surely be disappointed in this scoundrel. Then Sister will belong only to me... Sister will be disappointed... will be sad... Hmm, something seems off."
The more Guangzi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
His Sister had already been hurt once by Xi Jiuye. If Di Shen betrayed her this time, would Sister be utterly devastated?
He couldn’t bear for his Sister to be sad.
"Foolish, how could I be so foolish. Scheming against that scoundrel is a small matter, but making Sister sad is a big deal."
Guangzi smacked his forehead regretfully.
He jumped off the wall and rushed into the courtyard.
He had to stop things before a major mistake occurred.
Guangzi rushed into the courtyard, shouting.
"Stop it, Di Shen, if you dare betray Sister, I’ll destroy you."
But when Guangzi looked around, there was no sign of Di Shen or Luo Qianche. Instead, a person was tied up on the ground—Luo Qianche.
Startled, he felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw Di Shen standing right behind him.
"I knew Luo Qianche was acting strange today. It turns out she colluded with you to trap me."
Di Shen’s expression was stern. He had long suspected Luo Qianche’s odd behavior and didn’t mind exposing it. He was simply waiting to see what trick was being played. When entering the courtyard, he held his breath, never inhaling the pink peach blossom miasma.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Guangzi shouted repeatedly.
His hand was twisted behind his back by the un-gentle Di Shen.
"What am I doing? Just giving you a taste of your own medicine. You can stay here."
Di Shen coldly eyed Guangzi, resisting the urge to snap his neck.
He tied up Guangzi and tossed him to the ground, preparing to leave.
"Wait! Di Shen, don’t you want to know why I’ve been against you? And do you even know what my relationship with Ling Yue is? If she finds out you treated me like this, she won’t let you off."
