“Little… little b*tch, you’ll die a horrible death. I curse you for eternity!”

Madam Ji was halfway through her sentence when a stone suddenly flew over and hit her mouth. Blood gushed out and stuck the rest of her words in her throat.

“I’ll protect my wife for the rest of her life. I’m afraid your curse won’t have any effect.” Song Jingchen looked down at her coldly, making Madam Ji shiver.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “My husband is so handsome. I want to pounce on him.” she thought.

With this thought in mind, she really pounced on Song Jingchen’s back. Song Jingchen was caught off guard and took two steps back to stabilize himself.

“You’re fooling around again.” He pulled her in front of him. There was a nervousness in his tone that he hadn’t realized he had.

Shen Yijia did not mind. She climbed onto him and smiled. “Hubby, you’re the best.”

Song Jingchen was speechless.

The couple acted as if no one was around, but Madam Ji was in no mood to curse. As more and more ants approached, her entire body trembled and she kept crawling towards a corner of the tent, intending to stay away from the ants.

However, she was covered in honey. This was a huge temptation for the ants. No matter where she went, they would swarm her.

In a moment, the densely packed ants scrambled to climb up her legs, arms, and face.

Some of them even crawled into her mouth and nose.

They covered her body and bit crazily.

“No! Go away!” Madam Ji rolled on the ground in pain, but it did not help at all.

“I want to see Ji Luo. Please!” Realizing that Shen Yijia would not let her off, Madam Ji placed her hopes on Ji Luo again.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and sneered. “My mother hasn’t been here for so many days. She didn’t even mention you. Do you know why?”

“Why?” Madam Ji also wanted to know why Ji Luo did not show off in front of her like Madam Ji did back then when she was in her hands.

“Of course it’s because she doesn’t take you seriously at all.”

Madam Ji was stunned for a moment before laughing maniacally.

She laughed until her entire body trembled and tears streamed down her face.

“Hahaha! ”

The sound of her manic laughter filled the tent.

She regarded the other party as a thorn in her side. When she found an opportunity, she wanted to step on Ji Luo, but Ji Luo did not take her seriously at all. She did not even bother to look at Madam Ji.

How ironic.

She continued laughing.

Her crazy laughter filled the entire camp. At night, the soldiers guarding outside felt their hair stand on end.

Thinking of what they had seen during the day, they were curious about what method Shen Yijia had used to torture Madam Ji. At the same time, their fear of Shen Yijia rose to another level.

Shen Yijia watched coldly and did not interrupt her.

Madam Ji had enough of laughing. She looked at Shen Yijia viciously. For some reason, she suddenly raised her head and slammed it against the ground. There was no sound after that.

Song Jingchen glanced at South Wind.

South Wind understood and carefully checked Madam Ji’s breathing. He shook his head at Song Jingchen.

“Burn this place,” Song Jingchen said.

If he wanted to stop her just now, he could have done it in time. However, neither he nor Shen Yijia moved.

To someone like Madam Ji, who had a twisted mind, no amount of physical torture could compare to Ji Luo’s disregard for her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to commit suicide.

Shen Yijia placed her head on Song Jingchen’s shoulder and said weakly, “Hubby, I’m tired. Let’s go back and sleep.”

“Alright.”

Fifteen minutes later, a raging fire rose in the tent that occupied an area, illuminating the entire camp.

Looking at the fire not far away through the raised curtain, Ji Luo said emotionlessly, “Go back and rest early.”

MO Yuan lowered the tent flap and hesitated for a moment before saying,

“Master, Young Miss is doing this because…”

“Do you think I didn’t attack her because we’re of the same clan? Are you afraid that I’ll blame Jiajia?” Ji Luo asked.

MO Yuan was silent. Clearly, that was what she thought.

Ji Luo chuckled. After two days of recuperation, although her voice was still hoarse, it was no longer as unpleasant as before.

“Jiajia doesn’t hate me. I’m overjoyed. Why would I blame her?” Her daughter was expressing her acceptance of her in her own way. How could she not understand?

“Besides, won’t I be doing as Madam Ji wants if I attack?”

MO Yuan paused. “I was thinking about it. ”

Ji Luo looked at the flames reflected in the tent curtain and shook her head without saying anything else.

“Are you the young master? Can you let me follow you?” The girl, who was about the same age as her, stood in front of her timidly.

“Why do you want to follow me?” Little Ji Luo asked.

“I think Young Master is powerful. I want to serve Young Master,” the girl stammered.

Little Ji Luo frowned. “You’re lying.”

The girl was stunned and knelt down. “It’s my mother. She said that if I can’t stay by Young Master’s side, she’ll beat me to death. Please accept me, Young

Master.”

As she spoke, she quickly revealed her arm. It was bruised.

“Outrageous. I’ll tell Mother.”

“No,” the girl begged. “If the Valley Master finds out, she definitely won’t let my mother off. Young Master, please spare her.”

Little Ji Luo looked at her and said angrily, “She’s already treated you like this, yet you’re still pleading for her?”

“She’s my mother after all.”

Little Ji Luo sympathized with her, but she Imew that her maidservant had long been decided by the Elders. It was not something she could change.

From then on, the girl would always appear in front of her from time to time with injuries.

Later on, one of her eight maidservants accidentally fell off the cliff and lost her life, leaving an empty spot.

She found the girl and asked, “If you follow me, you won’t be able to get married from now on. Are you really willing?”

This was a rule of the clan.

“I’m willing. I don’t want to get married. I just want to follow Young Master.”

“Then come with me.”

Little Ji Luo brought her to see the Valley Master. The Valley Master wanted to say something but hesitated for a long time. In the end, he agreed.

She could stay.

The girl stayed and changed her name to MO Yao.

MO Yao was smart. Although she started later, she was better at divination and medicine than the others around little Ji Luo.

Little Ji Luo was also willing to bring her along.

Time passed quickly. The two of them had grown up. At that time, the Valley Master and the High Priest had passed away one after another, and Si Yun had been chosen as the Young Priest.

This also meant that she would marry Si Yun in the future.

However, she accidentally realized that MO Yao had fallen in love with Si Yun.

She tried to persuade the elders to change their candidate, but she was told that this was a decision made by the Valley Master before she died.

Thinking back, Ji Luo smiled bitterly. “Mother, you did it on purpose, right?”

Now that she thought about it, MO Yao’s injuries back then were fake, and the death of the maidservant who accidentally fell to the bottom of the cliff was not that simple.

However, none of that mattered anymore.

Ever since someone used the lives of 81 children to complete the spirit exchange, the Valley of Heavenly Secrets should not have existed.

Others might not know, but Ji Luo knew that the person whose spirit had been swapped was her great-grandmother.

Her great-grandmother watched helplessly as her sister turned into a dried corpse in front of her.

The person who attacked was the Valley Master at that time, their mother..
