1031 Intrusion

Nie, but Xiao Nie had also disappeared.This... when did this happen againAs soon as I closed my eyes to recite the incantation, the surroundings changed. Xiaonie and Xiao Tongzi couldn't possibly have...Living here with Mu Wanchen is different from living at home.

In my large family, there are no secrets. Even if I'm in my room, one of my older sisters could easily barge in.

But it's different here, the Wizard Palace doesn't have any commoners. I can cause a ruckus however I want.

Although the stone palace looks cold and heavy, this jade bed is piled high with soft brocades. The mattress is made of the finest hand-stitched cotton, making it incredibly comfortable to lie on.

"Wǎnchén, wait two more years, and let's have a child together" I reached out and pulled him down to hug me.

Too wide and sturdy, holding me tightly in his arms.

"One" he chuckled softly.

"...What for You still want to be like Master, having many children is good, right" I glared at him.

He raised his hand and combed his hair back, his slender and strong fingers delving into his locks. The gesture looked dashing and unrestrained.

"One is enough, I never thought I'd have another child." He chuckled and shook his head.

I frowned. “Why didn’t you think of that You’re the Shaman King, you should at least have a queen or concubines… It wouldn’t be easy to have children anyway. Even if your bloodline here already has problems, you could find a wife from outside your realm.”

He shook his head. "No, I've never thought about a wife or children. I only want to find someone who can raise the female gu worms. It's been too many years since anyone has refined the Gu King, and I want to know what the Gu King is like... I've never considered these things."

"Don't you have any selfish thoughts at all Thinking about so many big things all day, don't you find it tiring..." I said with a sneer.

"I..."

He paused, his brow furrowed slightly: "Xiao Luo'er, as the heir to the Great Shaman King, you have some bloodline-granted talents. I can faintly sense some futures, but they are just premonitions. These premonitions... I can't speak of them or know who to tell."

Is that a bad feeling

I was gazing at his face, so close to mine, and I always felt like he had something he wanted to say but couldn't.

"Mu Wanchen, Great Shaman King, I'm not some fragile little prince. If you think something is wrong, just say it directly. I'll be mentally prepared." I said with a sneer.

He reached out and pinched my cheek, lying down beside me, pulling me into his arms, and then pulled the thick quilt over us.

Mu Wanchen looks tall and silent, but he is meticulous and warm-hearted.

"I've always had a bad feeling about this, maybe it's something that affects the whole clan. Ever since the previous Great Shaman allowed the necromancers to set up camp within our sacred grounds, some gears have started turning..."

"Heaven and earth are born and destroyed, only the adaptable survive. They say that one cannot escape their fate. I'm always worried about when I might face drastic change... Our tribe has grown accustomed to a comfortable and complacent life under the protection of our ancestral shamans. I fear they won't be able to adapt to sudden upheaval."

"Do you have this feeling too" I asked.

Mu Wanchen gently shook her head: "There's one more person."

"Who"

"...Si Huang."

Oh, the proud witch leader.

"We could start by helping your people adapt to contact with the outside world, beginning with their daily habits... We'll send medicine back tomorrow and arrange for winter supplies to be sent to your people. Starting with small things will let them know that the outside world is very different, gradually reducing psychological barriers."

Mu Wanchen chuckled softly: "You, you're really spoiled. Anything here is said easily... reality isn't that simple."

"Humph."

I snuggled into his embrace, my mind racing with when I should talk to Sihuang.

Although Si Huang is proud, she also shares similarities with Mu Wanchen.

That's having something on your mind but not knowing who to tell.

"It's you again!" I immediately scowled at the woman before me.

Lian Long's beloved younger sister, Lian Chuling.

"What's wrong with me" Lian Chuling pouted and crossed her arms, standing before me. "The Witch King has ordered me to assist you in deciphering the potion. He's afraid you'll make a mistake!"

"Nonsense, I know these herbs better than you! Mind your own business! I think Mu Wanchen is afraid I'll get tired making the medicine alone, so he got you to do the hard work," I scoffed.

Lian Chuling just shook her head and ignored me.

I'm in the outer room of my bedroom now. The medicinal herbs have been moved out and sorted. I need to grind them up into powder, divide it into over twenty portions, and each portion needs to last for many days.

This project is quite large, and Mu Wanchen needs to take care of daily affairs when he gets back. He can't possibly stay here with me making medicine all day.

Liang Xiaoguo is at my place again, he can only ask Lianlong to help him deal with it.

"My older brother is very busy, he'll be here in a while. Let me come over and help deal with this first. These little things don't need my older brother, I can handle it." Lian Chuling walked over and snatched the medicine mortar from my hand.

"Okay, okay, you come." I happen to have a sore hand, and someone is eager to do the work, how could I ask for anything more.

Although Lian Chuling had a fiery temper, she was young and inexperienced. I easily tricked her with a few lines and got quite a bit of useful information.

For example, about Si Huang.

“……They are a witch tribe, and there is one witch among the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, so they are very arrogant. However, no matter how arrogant they are, they are still under the jurisdiction of Lord Witch King……Si Huang hasn't married yet, humph, does she still wear the title of Lord Witch King Is one former princess not enough She wants to continue vying for position……” Lian Chuling pounded the medicine fiercely, muttering under her breath.

"Wake up, the Queen's position is mine now. You want me to get down Dream on." I snorted.

" Lianchu Ling gave me a withering glance: "What abilities does our Princess have to be so proud... without offspring, we wouldn't acknowledge her at all."s chaotic beyond measure. The forest itself is a swirl of confusion. Perhaps this was intentional - only such chaos could better create corpses that obey only the Mother Worm's commands. Mu Wanchen t...
