Chapter 445 Human greed, especially when one is not human.
Zhong Liyu was still making a last-ditch effort, but Zhong Liyueluo turned to her and smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.
"My dear sister, a blood pact isn't enough! A soul pact is the way to go!"
Zhong Liyu had no idea that this was a trap set by Zhong Liyueluo.
The three souls and seven spirits of Zhongli Yueluo in the present world are no longer bound by the Nine Netherworlds, and naturally will not be bound by the contract!
"That's what you said!"
She smiled innocently and nodded, signing a soul contract with faint, indistinct words appearing on it.
After carefully reading it, Zhong Liyu felt there was nothing wrong with it, and he sealed his soul with his own handprint.
That way, even if something unexpected happens, at least she can survive.
If she continues to cause trouble today, Su Fengling might really make her leave sideways.
Zhong Liyu and his group watched as Su Fengling and Zhong Li Yuelu swaggered out of their tent.
But there was nothing they could do about it.
Those fox guards were already exhausted from the war.
Coupled with today's dampened morale, they have even less confidence in Zhongli Yu.
Morale was low, and they whispered amongst themselves; some of them had never wanted to participate in the fight in the first place.
They were all forced into this position by their families, and with things like this happening today, they are even more inclined to back down.
"Our monarch, whom we found in the Western Demon Mountain, doesn't seem to be all that great."
"Weren't we just being manipulated by them?"
The soldiers began to whisper among themselves, and Zhong Liyu could not resort to violence to quell the violence.
Normally, if one or two of these happened, they would be beaten to death with sticks, but that's not possible now.
He casually summoned one of his trusted confidants and whispered in his ear.
So what if it's just taking Gongshu Liang's life? No problem, no problem!
Zhongli Yueluo met up with Su Fengjun, and Su Fengling casually pulled a piece of paper out of his waist.
That document contains the prescription for overcoming the epidemic.
"Little brother, you're really great."
"I thought we'd have to deal with her for a while longer, but now we can go straight to the origin of the plague."
"Sister, please praise me more."
"Alright, alright, you go back to the city and meet up with Yan Ruoyu. Feng Jun and I will go together."
"Ah, sister..."
He was about to act cute, but Zhongli Yueluo glanced at him and changed her mind.
He nodded and headed straight into the city.
Su Fengjun watched from the side, feeling a little happy inside, but said aloud.
"Princess, you should take Feng Ling with you. He's more clever than me."
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head at him; she didn't want someone with ruthless skills.
Instead, they should be people who share the same heart with the people, so that the people can trust them.
"Let's go, I need to find all these medicinal herbs first."
At the border where the two armies meet, disease has broken out and corpses are strewn everywhere.
Those who were not sick stayed indoors, trembling with fear, and dared not go out.
People were filled with anxiety, depression, and despair.
"Do you think the ruler of North Demon Mountain will just abandon us?"
"Yes, yes, so many people have died, they're planning to abandon us!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more heartbroken he became. He burst out of the door and got into a fight with the sick people.
Of course, the final result was that he ended up getting infected.
Zhongli Yueluo and Su Fengjun have quickened their pace and are rushing towards the origin of the epidemic.
The plague victims we encountered along the way were particularly terrifying; they had completely lost their minds.
Upon seeing someone approaching, it doesn't care who the person is and immediately attacks.
One is one thing, but they keep forming a group.
These people were almost all unarmed civilians, and Zhongli Yueluo hadn't even started to make a move yet.
Su Fengjun held up the barrier to keep them out.
They didn't kill them, they just pushed them away.
Some of the people who still had a shred of consciousness pointed at Zhongli Yueluo.
After thinking for a long time, he blurted out without thinking twice, "I've seen her before, she's royalty!"
Then the clamor rose, and everyone attacked him, but Zhongli Yueluo remained calm.
Su Fengjun alone could quell their rebellion, but if he were to suppress them by force, they would surely rebel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a member of the royal family."
"But I have been entrusted by the royal family to find a cure for the plague. Please be quiet!"
To place one's status as lowly as the soil.
With her earnest gaze and innocent, harmless expression, Zhongli Yueluo gradually calmed the restless crowd.
Seeing that these people had not made any further moves to harm them, Su Fengjun removed the barrier.
But at that moment, a strange noise came from afar, followed by a cloud of dust rising.
The people looked toward the sound and saw a mutated blood demon charging toward them.
His eyes were bloodshot, saliva dripped from his teeth, and his nails had grown very long.
But this mutated commoner seemed quite conscious. He looked at Zhongli Yuelu with what appeared to be immense hatred.
With a gurgling sound in its throat, it headed towards Zhongli Yueluo.
"It's all because of this woman that we've become like this! I hate her so much, I want to kill her!"
Those people who had already been appeased began to have doubts when they heard him say this.
Is this woman in front of us in cahoots with the one who gave them the plague?
Otherwise, how could he hate so much!
Without listening to Zhongli Yueluo's explanation, the man rushed straight at her face and reached out to grab her neck.
Su Fengjun held Zhongli Yueluo in his arms and took two steps back, his eyes turning cold.
If he remains unmoved by reason, then he will have no choice but to resort to violence!
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head at Su Fengjun, telling them they absolutely mustn't make a move, or they would fall right into their trap.
"I have a remedy to cure the epidemic. Everyone, please be quiet and trust me this once."
"We can't trust you. What if it's some new epidemic?"
Zhongli Yueluo didn't want to waste any more time explaining to them.
Su Fengjun glanced at a woman holding a dying child in her arms.
Su Fengjun also understood that nothing is faster than actual proof.
I walked over; although he was cold, there was no malice in his eyes.
Looking at the woman, he said, "If this is your child, he will die if you don't take care of him. Why don't you trust us this once?"
When people are in extreme despair, they will desperately grasp at any straw, even if it is a false lifeline.
Although the woman held the child tremblingly in her hands, her eyes were full of determination.
"Since you say you have an antidote, then give me the medicine first!"
As she spoke, she actually put her hand into her child's mouth.
If she is bitten by a child infected with the disease, she will definitely get infected as well.
Will the medicine that Zhongli Yueluo and the others brought be effective? She'll know as soon as she takes it.
The others, who had been whispering, stopped their commotion.
Since someone is willing to test the drug on themselves, that's great.
Human nature is hypocritical and greedy; no one wants to take risks.
Everyone just watched as the woman took the medicine that Zhongli Yueluo had given her.
After waiting for a long time, nothing changed; instead, it gradually returned to its normal appearance.
Even the baby she was holding regained its rosy glow.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Zhongli Yueluo.
