Chapter 230 Wu Yao's Mischief

After finishing their meal, Wu Yao took out a small figurine and pasted Mo Li's birth date and time on it.

Then she took out a lock of Ying Wuyai's hair from her bosom, wrapped it in a piece of yellow paper covered with talismans, and lit it on fire with the candle burning on the table.

A wisp of black smoke rose up, and miraculously, the little figure on the table also stood up, waving its arms and legs in one direction.

The tuft of hair crackled and burned, and the little figure on the table turned completely charred. Wu Yao smiled with satisfaction.

These days she's been hiding from people like a rat crossing the street, and has long since deviated from the route she originally planned to take. How can she not keep looking for that little thing?

Now that they've left the capital, she's only fooled a foolish concubine. He doesn't believe the Emperor of the Great Jing Kingdom can chase her to the ends of the earth.

She packed her things and went downstairs. The shopkeeper was dozing off. She patted the gold leaf on the counter.

The shopkeeper was immediately startled awake by the slap. He initially thought it was some inconsiderate person disturbing him, but upon seeing it was Wu Yao, he immediately grinned.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

He immediately became extremely alert, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully.

When Wu Yao removed her hand, a glittering gold leaf almost blinded him.

"Prepare my most expensive carriage, the kind with two horses, and some dry rations."

As soon as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly. When Wu Yao turned around and went back upstairs, he quickly picked up the gold leaf, turned his back, put it in his mouth, and bit it.

"Oh my! I've struck it rich!" Tian carefully wrapped the two gold leaves in layers and put them in his pocket.

How much silver does a carriage with two horses and some food cost? I must say, this strange man is really generous.

He prepared the items overnight and placed them outside. The next day, he personally went upstairs to call for help.

He knocked on the door for a while but there was no response. He pushed the door open and went inside, but Wu Yao was nowhere to be seen.

A young shop assistant rushed upstairs to him, "Manager, something terrible has happened! The carriage we bought yesterday is gone!"

The young waiter was on the verge of tears. The innkeeper said that it was prepared for the distinguished guests in the inn, and he had just been thinking of giving the two horses some water when it disappeared.

This is bad!

The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "It's alright! Our esteemed guest has taken him away!"

He walked out of the house, and the young shop assistant scratched his head in confusion.

He took it away? Then why didn't I hear a thing? Was he sleeping too soundly?

On the road, two little figures sat in the driver's seat, urging the horses along. Wu Yao used a trick to make it appear to others that only a man sat expressionlessly in front.

Feeling really bored, she took out a little figurine with Mo Li's birth date and time pasted on it and started playing with it.

The rough bone needle pierced the little boy's chest, and Wu Yao's lips slowly curled up.

Ying Wuyai wouldn't have let her play like that when she was in Anhuai, because it would damage Mo Li's physical body.

Now everything's fine. She can do whatever she wants without anyone watching her. It's a good opportunity to vent her anger!

If it weren't for finding this little thing, why would she have to suffer so much?

Mo Li, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He rolled off the chair and curled up on the ground.

Little Tiger burst into tears, crying, "Brother A-Li, what's wrong with you? Waaah!"

The little guy squatted helplessly on the ground, wanting to hold Mo Li's hand but not daring to.

Wolf Overlord was awakened by the noise. He twitched his ears, rushed out of the house, and jumped down from the second floor.

Wen Luozhi was busy selecting vegetable seeds to be planted in the greenhouse when it howled so loudly that it almost threw all the seeds in its hand away.

"DouDou! What are you doing?!" She clenched her fists, about to explode in anger, when Lang Batian anxiously tugged at her skirt. "Quick, go upstairs and check on things. A-Li seems to be sick."

It wasn't sure if he was sick, but it sensed a strange aura about him that it had never felt before.

He could feel it even through two rooms.

Wen Luozhi quickly put down the winnowing basket in her hand and ran upstairs. Mo Zhengfu heard the clever big dog howling incessantly, so he followed her upstairs, thinking something had happened.

In Xiao Hu's study, Mo Li lay on the floor, clutching her chest in pain.

Wen Luozhi kicked open the door and immediately saw him lying on the ground.

She rushed over, not daring to move, and reached out to pry open Mo Li's eyes to look at him and check his pulse. Then she checked him again as she had learned before.

Gradually, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

That's strange, everything seems normal.

She picked up Mo Li to go find Doctor Hu, but Mo Zhengfu quickly took her from her arms, saying, "Miss, please give A-Li to me."

Wen Luozhi nodded, and the two men and the wolf led Mo Li to Doctor Hu's house.

The rest of the family also learned what had happened from Xiaohu.

Yang Guilan walked along the road, holding Xiao Hu and comforting him, "Brother A-Li, it's okay, sweetie. Mommy will take you to Grandpa Hu's house to visit."

Little Tiger nodded, sobbing, still clutching a piece of silver for medical treatment in his hand.

Mo Li, who was in Mo Zhengfu's arms, seemed to have fainted from the pain, and Lang Batian anxiously spun around in circles.

Please, please don't let anything happen to him! This little guy is so cute and we treat him so well! It would be such a shame if he died!

Wen Luozhi slapped its wolf muzzle and glared at it. Remembering the system that had just been bragging to her, she asked, "What's going on? Didn't you just upgrade?"

Can you tell?

After about three breaths, the system's mechanical voice, tinged with arrogance, finally came out: "This system is now at least level four, how could it not see through such a little trick?"

After a brief electrical hum, a string with a cinnabar dot strung on it appeared on the panel in front of Wen Luozhi.

She looked puzzled, but the system's voice became much more serious: "Vermilion, it wards off evil spirits. Just put it around his neck and he'll be fine."

Wen Luozhi's lips twitched. Seeing her disbelief, the system began to explain, "Just because the host doesn't believe something doesn't mean it doesn't exist in this world. Please respect the laws of this world..."

It started talking in a blah blah tone, which Wen Luozhi hated most about reasoning with. Seeing that no one was around, she reached out and grabbed the rope.

Taking a deep breath, she caught up with Mo Zhengfu and called out, "Mr. Mo, my mother gave me this, saying it's for protection. Please put it on Mo Li first."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhengfu quickly moved Mo Li closer to her. Although he was in a hurry, he couldn't let her kindness go to waste.

As soon as the cinnabar cord was put around her neck, the cinnabar flashed briefly, though it was only for a moment, Wen Luozhi still caught it.

She paused for a moment, then followed along, not noticing that Mo Li in Mo Zhengfu's arms had already relaxed her brows.

Wolf Batian suddenly quieted down, obediently following Wen Luozhi instead of running ahead and circling around Mo Zhengfu.

"That's strange, girl, that weird feeling is gone."

Wen Luozhi was starting to believe the system, but this was too strange in broad daylight.

The bone needle in Wu Yao's hand broke instantly, and the fragments even pierced her fingers, causing her to quickly throw away the little figure in pain.

The little figure immediately fell and scattered into a pile of tattered rags. Wu Yao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

What's going on?! What's stopping her?!

With a pained expression, she tried to piece the broken bone needles back together, but she could no longer put them back together.
