Chapter 132: Wait For Me (2)

By the strangely bright light, there seemed to be a vertical eye gradually opening its eye.

In it, it revealed the other world’s situation.

Through the swaying eye, Zhou Xiaoxiao vaguely saw a worn down yard.

In the middle of the yard, Yu Xingzhi was trying to struggle free with all his might. Two tall and sturdy men were pressing him against the ground right now.

Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but jump off the window sill and walked slowly towards the crack.

Chen Weipan was shouting and hollering at the top of his lungs, “Xiaoxiao! Zhou Xiaoxiao! What are you doing? It’s dangerous! Quickly leave!”

She hesitated for a moment before looking over at the window.

However, she heard Yu Xingzhi’s ear-piercing screams from the other world.

He was calling for her.

“Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao!”

Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and walked towards the strange light.

The moment her hand touched the golden light, it was as though there was a magnetic force from the crack pulling her in.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked up at the glaring light before her body burned up.

…

By the time Zhou Xiaoxiao snapped out of her trance, she was situated under the ruins.

She felt warmth surrounding her wherever she went and smoke filled the air.

She felt as though she had been carbonized, her body pitch-black.

She gently touched herself and the black epidermis fell down, revealing her smooth white skin.

The strange thing was that she didn’t feel any pain.

What happened?

Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned.

She left the burned yard.

Taking advantage of the night, she snuck into a farmer’s yard and stole a dress.

She unfolded it and as expected, it was ancient clothes.

Did, did I come back?

Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked and happy. She walked to the brook and under the moonlight, she washed herself.

She looked at herself through the surface of the water and it reflected a fair and delicate face; it was herself.

However, her body contained a lot of energy and strength right now.

She seemed to be like a cuckoo.

But no matter what, she returned to the ancient time.

She should go find Xingzhi.

Zhou Xiaoxiao patted her face.

Right, Xingzhi. Did something happen to him?

…

Right now, in that burned and ruined yard, Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong each led a group of people as they glanced gloomily at the ground.

On the burnt soil, there was an outline of a person.

After Guo Suren inspected it, he went back and reported, “Replying to the prince, there should’ve been a corpse lying here originally and they weren’t that tall.”

He paused before saying his observations in an objective manner. “This person’s limbs didn’t curl up, so they must’ve been killed first before being set on fire. After that, the corpse was moved away. That could only be the reason why there was the outline of a person on the burnt ground.”

The enemy probably wouldn’t set their own people’s dead bodies on fire.

Then the corpse that was lying here originally was most likely…

Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong exchanged a gaze.

Their hearts felt heavy.

It couldn’t be his fifth brother. Yu Xingyong thought in his heart.

However, it might possibly be their sister-in-law.

If sister-in-law unfortunately got into an accident and died in front of their fifth brother, it’d be a huge blow to him. They didn’t know if he could hold on.

Cheng Shizhao felt a slight pang in his heart. He didn’t dare to think anymore. He said, “Is that method effective or not? Are you sure we won’t get lost?”

“Those Khitan people are very sneaky and swift. They hid their tracks well and they’re not easy to stalk in the first place.”

Yu Xingyong patted the black hunting dog by his side and said, “Thankfully, the fifth brother carried the honey fragrance exclusively provided by the western regions. This fragrance is long lasting and wherever he went, the fragrance would follow. The most unique part is that normal people couldn’t sense the fragrance, but a specially trained hunting dog would be able to. This is our Yu Family’s special trick used exclusively by spies.”
