Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 191 - 164: Is This Woman Crazy?

Just as she turned to run, everyone felt something was wrong underfoot.

The once calm ground began to tremble, from an initial barely perceptible quiver to a point where they could hardly stand properly, having to lean against the walls to avoid falling.

"What’s happening?"

"An earthquake?"

As Zhao Fang finished speaking, stones began to fall from the ceiling, and cracks appeared on the ground.

As the situation worsened, the ceiling lights shattered and dimmed, replaced by moonlight.

Even though Zhao Fang cautiously hid, she was still hit by several falling stones.

When the surroundings finally fell silent, she was astonished, staring at the vast plain before her, feeling a chill of fear.

Thank goodness.

Thankfully, she hadn’t built the basement beneath the building.

When choosing the location, she had deliberately picked an open space behind the orphanage.

Otherwise, she might have been buried underground.

However...

Thinking of this, she looked back at Mu Yunchu from the ground.

The latter was slightly sweating on her forehead, and Zhao Fang’s eyes were filled with both shock and fear.

Was this woman insane?

She actually caused the ground to collapse?

"Aren’t you worried about those children?"

As if to answer her question, the last few stones fell, and inside a giant golden protective shield, the children blinked, their faces full of fear but unharmed.

Even Mu Yunchu was breathing heavily at this moment, but her gaze grew sharper.

When everyone thought she needed a good rest to recover after such an exertion,

they saw the corner of her lips curl up into a smile that spread from her eyes. Like a cold plum blossoming in winter, it was chilling yet stunning.

The wind blew through her hair, adding a touch of wildness under the moonlight.

"Now, I have no more concerns."

The ghost mother felt a surge of dread.

Before she could react, Mu Yunchu had already formed seals quickly, and a rapidly spinning golden sphere condensed in her palm, emitting an unusual ’buzzing’ sound.

As she threw it with force, the golden ball grew during its flight, transforming into a huge golden light sphere that instantly enveloped the ghost mother.

As the dazzling light gradually faded, the ghost mother looked at her own arm, bewildered.

The golden ball came too fast just now; she didn’t even have a chance to react.

Feeling the immense energy within, she almost thought she would die here.

But as she checked herself, she found no injuries, nor felt any pain.

At this moment, she realized something.

This wasn’t meant to attack her.

It was meant to trap her!

Sensing imminent danger, the ghost mother desperately tried to escape.

But whenever she touched the boundary, she felt a searing pain as if her skin was burning.

In just a few seconds, Mu Yunchu stood before her, holding the Peach Wood Sword.

Seeing the Peach Wood Sword aim for her head, she hurriedly used her arm to block it.

The Peach Wood Sword, condensed with a sharp blade by Mu Yunchu, unleashed a slicing Sword Qi with each swing, leaving deep gashes on her arm.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost mother lost her previous arrogance, making pathetic sounds as if pleading for mercy.

She tried to seek leniency from Mu Yunchu.

"Please, spare me."

"I was forced!"

"No, no, I don’t want to be annihilated!"

...

Just as Mu Yunchu was about to deliver the final blow, Duan Jia, who hadn’t moved until now, involuntarily collided with Mu Yunchu.

Seeing a chance at survival, the ghost mother hurriedly ordered Duan Jia to burn herself and release her.

Once she regained her freedom, seeing Duan Jia and Mu Yunchu entangled and unable to focus elsewhere, she backed away a few steps.

A wise person does not fight a losing battle.

Knowing she couldn’t defeat Mu Yunchu, she wouldn’t stay around for further confrontation.

She was not like Duan Jia, a ghost yet to awaken her intelligence.

However, just as she was about to flee, she turned and noticed the group of children.

Glancing back at Mu Yunchu, then back at the children, a crafty gleam flickered in her eyes.

Since Mu Yunchu had no time to deal with her, she decided to snatch a couple of children to eat on the way, slightly recovering from her recent injuries.

Having decided, she wasted no time, rushing toward the group.

With so many children and limited time, she didn’t bother to choose, simply grabbing one and leaving.

As she swooped away, she barely spared a glance, randomly taking one.

Midair, she realized something was wrong.

Why so heavy?

Looking down, her heart sank.

Out of a dozen children, she had grabbed the only adult.

Glaring at the handsome face devoid of the slightest appetite, the ghost mother felt a surge of frustration.

"Hey, buddy, this feels like a setup."

"I remember you being far away when I grabbed someone."

As she cursed, a thought struck her.

"Did you come over on purpose?"

Wen Xu, unable to speak due to the rushing cold wind from the sudden height, had an expression that confirmed the ghost mother’s suspicion; he had indeed voluntarily been caught.

Feeling tricked.

Though she disliked eating adults, now she was determined to kill this human.

However, Wen Xu was more troublesome than she expected.

Constantly writhing, making it hard for her, even when she threatened to drop him to his death, Wen Xu remained unfazed.

Suddenly, he stopped, starting to negotiate with the ghost mother.

"I can stop struggling."

"But you have to promise not to eat me for now."

The ghost mother’s eyes gleamed, quickly agreeing verbally.

"Okay, I won’t eat you for now."

But inside, she called him foolish.

The moment Wen Xu stopped struggling, she would swallow him whole.

Upon getting the ghost mother’s assurance, Wen Xu glanced at the scene changing below him, actually ceasing to struggle.

However, his right hand, unnoticed by her due to her relaxed vigilance, moved stealthily to his back.

...

At the same time, as Mu Yunchu fought with Duan Jia, she refrained from a deathblow, hoping to find a chance to awaken her consciousness.

But it was all in vain.

Catching sight of the ghost mother escaping with someone, she knew she couldn’t waste any more time. She chanted, "Imperial Decree Talisman activate, Wind Blade break the evil!"

The talisman paper instantly burned, transforming into countless Wind Blades, flying toward Duan Jia.
