Capítulo 2154: Chapter 2152: Not Everyone Can Bear It

The next second, Jian Zhen fell out of thin air, sprawling on the ground and vomiting blood.

Feng Cheng was taken aback; this person who was seizing Bai Ruozhu’s small world was actually vomiting black blood!

“His skin is turning black too, could it be…” Bai Ruozhu cried out in shock, but soon was delighted. She sneered at Jian Zhen, “How is it, doesn’t feel good, does it? Did you really think you could handle someone else’s things?”

Jian Zhen gasped in pain, unwilling to accept the truth, “How is this possible? How can this be? It’s already mine, why am I still being backlashed?”

“You just said you were lucky to find someone with a secret treasure, but did you ever consider that not everyone is worthy to possess heaven-defying luck?” Bai Ruozhu said, delivering a kick to Jian Zhen’s chest, knocking him to the ground.

Jian Zhen’s skin turned blacker, and he kept vomiting blood, but he was unwilling, muttering incessantly, “Impossible, impossible, it’s mine, it’s mine!”

“He’s gone crazy; he’s about to lose his life. What use is the treasure if he’s dead? Not to mention, once dead, it won’t belong to him anymore,” Feng Cheng looked at Jian Zhen like a fool, then said to Bai Ruozhu, “Your curse tree is not something just anyone can handle.”

Bai Ruozhu had always worried that the curse tree was a time bomb, afraid that one day she wouldn’t be able to control it. Plus, with her own curse being related to it, she was somewhat repelled by the curse tree. However, the curse tree could restrain monsters, so she was reluctant to abandon it. She didn’t expect that today, the curse tree would help her again, preventing Jian Zhen from succeeding.

Soon, Jian Zhen could no longer spit out black blood; his exposed skin blackened like charcoal, and soon began to dissolve, just like someone devoured by a monster, leaving only a pile of clothes behind, not even a bone fragment.

A white light flew out from Jian Zhen’s body. Before Bai Ruozhu could ask Feng Cheng what to do, the white light flew into Bai Ruozhu’s body on its own.

She hurriedly sensed with her mind, and the space had returned, unchanged inside, because Jian Zhen hadn’t had time to move anything inside, or even see what was inside.

Xiaohei and Furball sensed her presence and started calling out excitedly; they almost couldn’t see their master again.

The little rabbit also hopped joyfully, it definitely didn’t want that ugly man as its master.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a huge sigh of relief, released Xiaohei and the others. Xiaohei affectionately rubbed its head against Bai Ruozhu’s leg, expressing its joy.

“Since everything’s fine, I’ll be leaving first,” Feng Cheng said before swiftly disappearing into the Peach Forest.

At this time, the three elders were awakened, rushing over to inquire about Bai Ruozhu’s situation. It seemed Feng Cheng left to avoid them.

“Ruozhu, what just happened?” the third elder asked.

“That Jian Zhen ambushed me, and fearing for the child’s safety, I lured him outside to fight. As a result, his ambush failed and he got caught in the black fog I absorbed earlier, leaving nothing but clothes behind.” Bai Ruozhu pointed to the pile of clothes.

Muyu’s eyes widened, “So he was a spy. Was it him who caused the master’s injury on the battlefield too?”

Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat; Jiang Yichun was injured on the battlefield? Was it serious? She almost asked but decided to keep quiet.

“We were all fooled by him, but thankfully, Ruozhu is alright,” Gao Deng said, feeling ashamed as he noticed Bai Ruozhu’s reddened eyes, increasing his guilt.

Bai Ruozhu thought that he already knew about the affair between Jiang Yichun and Fo Lanying and didn’t stop Jiang Yichun’s decision, feeling resentful toward him.

“I’m fine. Let’s all go rest; at least with the spy gone, the family is safe,” Bai Ruozhu said to everyone.

“Sis, what’s wrong with your eyes?” Bai Zepei suddenly asked.

“It’s nothing, he just used poison on me, making me temporarily blind. I already detoxified it, but it’s still a bit uncomfortable,” Bai Ruozhu quickly made up an excuse.

Bai Zepei was skeptical but didn’t press further.

Lin Ping’er, feeling sorry, said, “You should go rest; your eyes need proper care. Where’s Xiaojiang? It’s so late, and he’s still not back. If he were home, this wouldn’t have happened to you.”

Speaking of which, Lin Ping’er grew angry, “What’s wrong with Xiaojiang? Jian Zhen was brought here by him; otherwise, my Ruozhu wouldn’t have been hurt.”

“He, he still has some tasks,” Gao Deng said awkwardly.

Bai Ruozhu sighed and told her mother, “Let’s not talk about it; everyone should get some rest. We’ve all been exhausted lately.”

Seeing her daughter uncomfortable, Lin Ping’er didn’t press her, helping her back upstairs. Watching her lie back in bed, she left with relief.

She wanted to ask Gao Deng about the situation since Gao Deng came with Jiang Yichun, but couldn’t find Gao Deng anywhere.

In fact, Gao Deng deliberately stayed out, fearing questions from the Bai Family, afraid of revealing inconsistencies in his answers.

Lin Ping’er felt uneasy and went to find Bai Zepei in the middle of the night.

“Er Lang, doesn’t it seem like something’s wrong with Xiaojiang this time? Is he upset with Ruozhu? Why is he out all night?” Lin Ping’er worriedly asked.

Si Yihuan quickly poured her a cup of hot water, softly advising, “Mother, stress will harm your health. Ruozhu is sensible; she handles things thoughtfully.”

“Yes, Xiaojiang rushed over; perhaps he still has tasks, going out frequently is normal,” Bai Zepei said.

Hearing this calmed Lin Ping’er a bit, and realizing it was late, she returned to sleep.

Once Lin Ping’er left, Bai Zepei frowned, “I was just comforting Mother; Jiang Yichun seems really off. My sister clearly cried just now.”

“Huh? How can you tell?” Si Yihuan asked.

“She said her eyes were poisoned, but her emotions showed fluctuation, indicating a lie,” Bai Zepei replied.

“If you can see that, no one would have secrets in front of you,” Si Yihuan said, shaking her head.

Bai Zepei pinched her pert little nose, saying, “It’s not mind reading; I can’t see everything. If my sister had been calm, I wouldn’t have found out. She’s always very composed, rarely like this, so today must have really upset her.”

He sighed, “Jiang Yichun can’t possibly have external affairs; could there be something wrong with his health?”

Si Yihuan dared not speculate, but also became worried.

The next day came quickly; Bai Ruozhu hadn’t closed her eyes all night. After rushing through her washing, she went out to meet some children who were leaving.

Soon after entering the Peach Forest, she discovered Xiaosi was there, talking with the similarly aged Feng Wuchen.

“Hey, I’ll come back to find you someday. Don’t be too weak,” Feng Wuchen said, slightly blasé, with a reddening face.
