The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1380 - 1375: Going to See Mu Rongche Again

Surrounded by many torches, the firelight was bright enough for them to suddenly see clearly—a person lying on the ground and hissing like a wild beast!

“How could this be?” Mu Rongche also saw clearly—it was indeed a person, but not a whole one. He only had half a torso, his face was covered in blood, and the fingers he stretched out revealed whitened bones worn of flesh.

Absolutely terrifying!

“Could it be that the villagers’ tales of monsters were about people transforming?” someone in the guard exclaimed in fear.

This speculation led to even more frightening imaginations.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Mu Rongche turned and sharply scolded, “A person is a person, they cannot transform into monsters. This person… must have experienced something.”

He squatted down to carefully examine the strange conditions of this person.

Luo Heng stayed close by, guarding him, “Be careful, Your Highness.”

Mu Rongche was cautious, but when he squatted down, he found the moaning man seemed to have been poisoned or afflicted with some sort of sorcery, his body not responding to his own commands as if struggling in endless pain.

His excessive injuries meant he couldn’t possibly survive.

However, he was still alive, still struggling, still able to make noises.

“Such a terrifying person, what kind of poison or sorcery is this?” Luo Heng frowned with alarm.

This person had become too weird.

After Mu Rongche finished checking, a surge of emotions stirred within him, “This is not sorcery, this is… ‘Gu poison’!”

It must be Xiao Bai!

She must have done it!

She wasn’t burned to death; she survived!

Excitedly holding the torch, Mu Rongche ran towards the mountain. Others might not recognize it, but he knew that this person had been afflicted by the Gu insects.

Xiao Bai had told him, Gu can heal or kill!

And in the entire world, only she, the last descendant of the witch tribe, besides the King of Gu residing in her body, could manipulate these Gu insects!

Terrified, Luo Heng followed up, “Be careful, Your Highness!”

The guards all followed Mu Rongche into the dangerous mountains, not knowing why Mu Rongche suddenly sprinted, but they loyally followed to protect him.

Mu Rongche didn’t find any trace of Xiao Bai on the mountain, but instead encountered a group of people as dreadful as corpses. They looked like the dead yet lunged to bite and attack them.

Mu Rongche, highly skilled in martial arts, almost did not prevail, finally slaying all of them; moreover, one of his guards was injured.

He had wanted Luo Heng to take the guard for treatment, but before they had even descended the mountain, the guard began to foam at the mouth, his entire being eerily transforming. His eyes bulged, and his eyes bloodshot, he became as grotesque as the corpses attacking them, losing his mind and even lunging at Mu Rongche.

Mu Rongche immediately swung his sword and chopped off his head.

The round object fell into the bushes, while the ground was stewed with rotten and stinking blood.

Luo Heng, still shaken, said, “Your Highness, how… how could he have turned like this?”

Clutching the sword in his hand, Mu Rongche gritted his teeth, “Xiao Bai! You said you wouldn’t harm anyone!”

While Xiao Bai was still with him, he had learned of the fearsome power of the Witch King and had witnessed why the people of Nine Continents had once allied to eradicate the witch clan.

Sorcery was indeed fearsome.

Yet he had made Xiao Bai swear to him, promising her that he would protect the Witch King in this lifetime, but never use the insects to wreak havoc upon humanity.

But now…

Mu Rongche’s heart was a turmoil of emotions, happy that Xiao Bai was still alive yet worried for her!

What exactly did she want to do?

In the capital of Ji Yun Country.

Within the imperial palace, Chen Ruobai, clad in a crimson dress, leaned elegantly on the throne, her fiery red eyes a striking scene that captivated and lingered in the minds of those who saw her.

Xin Yi, dressed in a tight-fitting black robe, stepped into the great hall.

Her long hair was tied up in a masculine headdress; her features stern as she respectfully said to Chen Ruobai, “Princess, Mu Rongche has discovered the bewitched corpse in Long Guan City. Now, he plans to investigate and has already submitted documents to meet with you in the palace.”

Upon discovering the cursed corpse, Mu Rongche guessed that she might still be alive, currently harboring a bellyful of doubts and wanting to see Chen Ruobai in person to ask for clarity.

Mentioning Mu Rongche gave Chen Ruobai’s heart a fierce tug.

The pain caught her off guard.

She took a deep breath and managed to steady herself.

Then, with a seductive smile curling at her lips, she said, “Ah Xin, prepare to lead the troops. This time, I will go to Long Guan City to meet him.”

Xin Yi paused slightly, “Your Highness, with your precious health, are you personally going to meet Mu Rongche in Long Guan City?”

She worried that Mu Rongche might harm Chen Ruobai.

Chen Ruobai, harboring the Witch King and unable to cultivate martial arts due to her meridians being controlled, had always been personally protected by her.

Mu Rongche and those with him were highly skilled in martial arts.

If she was occupied with mobilizing troops and preparing for battle, she couldn’t protect Chen Ruobai, and she feared for her safety.

“Don’t worry, after grieving for me for two or three years, he won’t hurt me just yet. As for you, the battle with Lian Hai Kingdom will be tough on you.”

Chen Ruobai slowly descended from the throne, a red string tied around her feet not just a simple string anymore, she had attached a bell to it. With each step she took, the bell chimed.

It was a reminder of the humiliating past with Lian Hai Kingdom.

She loved Mu Rongche, loved him enough to trust him, quenched the thirst for revenge against his clan, believing he would protect her for a lifetime, allowing her a life of ordinary happiness.

But she was mistaken.

Mu Rongche giving her over to Queen Qi Ya was a grave mistake.

Later, he had even tried to strangle her.

Ha!

Since she was wrong, she had to awaken in time.

With the sound of the bell, she reminded herself day and night, letting those seven years churn in her mind and stir in her heart until she became numb!

Only after becoming numb could she clearly know what she truly wanted and what she had to do!
