Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 281 - 254: Faked Death

This was the thing she was most angry about and couldn’t accept.

It was as if someone had laid bare the truth she had been avoiding and didn’t want to face.

At this moment, in Nan Zhi’s mind, she was already contemplating how to turn Jiang Ci into a mute.

She extended her hand.

"Since you’re unwilling to come over on your own, I’ll have to kill all your friends first!"

Seeing her initiate an attack, although Feng Chen was aware that his strength was no match for hers, he still prepared his weapon to confront her.

The eerie moonlight pierced the clouds, casting a distorted and twisted shadow of Nan Zhi.

Her hair cascaded like an ink waterfall, and on her pale face, her crimson lips curved into a smirk.

Her extended nails suddenly grew three inches longer, glowing with a dark azure light. With a piercing shriek, the black mist surrounding her surged violently, transforming into countless sharp bone spikes, charged with a bone-chilling cold, furiously piercing toward the crowd.

Everyone was well aware that getting pierced would mean losing their life.

Yet they had no way to avoid it.

They could only rely on Feng Chen, who was equally uncertain in his heart.

Just when their fear reached a peak and they felt they might not survive this.

A golden talisman shot through the darkness like a meteor.

Squinting against the light, at some point, Mu Yunchu appeared holding a Peach Wood Sword.

She casually flicked her wrist, and in an instant, the sword radiated a dazzling golden light, clashing fiercely with the bone spikes in the black mist. With a slight twist of her wrist, the talisman’s light intensified, disintegrating the black mist, and the bone spikes shattered inch by inch.

Nan Zhi’s full-force attack was surprisingly dissolved so effortlessly.

They looked at Mu Yunchu, whose face was as calm as if she hadn’t done anything.

In stark contrast to Feng Chen earlier.

Except for Jiang Ci and Ye Zhixia, who were already aware of Mu Yunchu’s strength, no one expected things to turn out this way.

Behind them, Qin Long and others had their mouths wide open.

"Holy crap!"

"A master is among us!"

Does that mean they are saved?

Even Nan Zhi didn’t anticipate that the quiet, unassuming woman would possess such formidable strength.

She suddenly felt a bit afraid.

Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep Ah Shen today.

So she wisely decided to negotiate and started proposing terms.

"I don’t think we need to fight. You can state your conditions."

Mu Yunchu, however, shook her head.

"But I have a reason to take him away."

Nan Zhi: "..."

She became even angrier instantly, "What, do you like him?"

More than a few people at the scene unwittingly perked their ears.

Nan Zhi, trying to retreat to advance: "If you really like him, then I can kill him. I want his body, and you want his soul."

Jiang Ci: ???

Qu Siya: "Oh my, this girl plays with such perversion."

"This is the first time I’ve seen someone be divided like this."

Mu Yunchu had no intention of answering.

From a distance, a figure slowly approached.

"How about including me?"

"I quite like him too."

Hearing this voice, Mu Yunchu’s lips slowly curved upwards.

There’s a spectacle to watch now.

Li Shang, clad in a red robe, appeared in their view.

Qu Siya: "..."

What on earth is going on here?

"It’s all a chaotic mess, maybe we should just enjoy it while it’s hot."

Li Shang seemed to deliberately stir things up, insisting on joining in to divide Jiang Ci. Resting her wrist on his shoulder, she provocatively stared at the opposite Nan Zhi.

"How about... a day each?"

Nan Zhi was instantly furious to grinding her teeth.

Her gaze shifted from Mu Yunchu to Li Shang, knitting her delicate brows.

She could sense that this person wasn’t weak either.

Mu Yunchu alone was beyond her capacity to handle, let alone with an additional one.

Though a wise person wouldn’t get caught up in the moment, she was truly unwilling.

Gritting her teeth, she thought of what Li Yunhe had tasked her with and decided to retreat for now.

But...

After thinking of something, her gaze darkened, and she flew towards Li Shang. The black mist entwining her fingertips suddenly formed into a noose, aiming precisely at her.

Li Shang raised an eyebrow.

Regarding the attack directed at her, she wasn’t at all displeased but rather excited.

"Being cooped up inside these past two days has really bored me to death!"

As her words fell, her three thousand long tresses transformed into countless black pythons, baring fangs, lunging towards Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi sidestepped, dodging, and flicked out twelve ice blades formed by dark energy from her sleeve, which changed course upon nearing Li Shang, grazing her throat.

Li Shang was obviously stunned.

Because her attack indeed nicked herself.

Though it caused no real harm, this indicated she had just "miscalculated," and had she been an ordinary person, she wouldn’t be alive now.

The others were unaware that Li Shang was essentially a century-old ghost. They assumed Nan Zhi’s attack was narrowly dodged by her.

This action clearly infuriated Li Shang, who was planning to play for a while longer.

She seriously raised her eyes, slamming her palm onto the ground, and a surge of dark energy erupted from the floor, forming a colossal ghostly hand pressing Nan Zhi harshly against a pillar.

It seemed as though the battle had ended in an instant.

First Mu Yunchu, and now Li Shang, these two who suddenly acted made Feng Chen’s earlier arduous battle appear all the more futile.

Xue Xing from behind almost crawled over, trying to stop Li Shang’s assault on Nan Zhi.

Yet his speed was much too slow.

As Li Shang’s fatal blow struck down, unseen by the others, Nan Zhi seized the opportunity to draw a hidden talisman from her robe, slapped it on her head, causing red light to surge, almost perfectly starting to dematerialize, intentionally revealing an unwilling gaze before vanishing.

When the black mist dissipated, what everyone saw were pieces of navy blue fabric drifting in the air.

And Nan Zhi’s figure had completely disappeared.

Though no one spoke, under such an attack, everyone naturally assumed that Nan Zhi had vanished.

The sky no longer as dark as before, everyone collectively sighed in relief.

After extreme tension, some even found themselves collapsing to the ground, their legs weak.

They had survived.

"Is it over? That female ghost is finally dead, right?"

"We’re alright now, we can live on?"

"Thank goodness..."

...

Among everyone, only Xue Xing, who sat on the ground, looked like he had lost the entire world, wailing in anguish.

Yet none of the others felt any sympathy for him, as expected.

A few supported one another as they walked out, while Li Shang followed behind Mu Yunchu.

Once certain no one could hear them, she lowered her voice: "Chuchu, I feel that female ghost isn’t dead."

Mu Yunchu, as if having already known, murmured an affirmative sound.

"I knew you saw through it." Li Shang recalled the last time Mu Yunchu deliberately let the fox spirit escape, suspecting that she might be employing the same trick again.

Mu Yunchu lightly curved her lips: "We can’t just keep reacting defensively; we must take the initiative to attack."
