CHAPTER 1463: CHAPTER 1470: THE DEATH OF HELANA (1)
The white-furred tiger was dispatched by Cai Wei to negotiate with Saknu. Although it could not speak human language, Saknu understood tiger language, so communication between them was not an issue.
Cai Wei’s conditions and demands were few: first, Saknu was not to harbor any thoughts about her, let alone disturb her further; second, he had to hand over Lei Da and his two personal disciples, Nangong Shi and Jin Zhong, totaling five people; third, Liaodan and Great Jin must coexist peacefully and never wage war!
Saknu now deeply regretted not listening to Mage Lei Da, not dispelling the spell on her body. Not only could he not obtain her anymore, but he was also under her control, suffering a disgrace he had never experienced in his lifetime.
Unsure of what the white-furred tiger communicated to him, after a long time, he came out of the hall frowning. Soon after, Nangong Shi, Lei Da, Jin Zhong, and Lei Da’s two disciples were brought in. Upon seeing the white-furred tiger standing in the hall, they felt as if their souls were about to be scared away, thinking they were being fed to the tiger.
As it turned out, a white-furred monkey sprang out and sprinkled some medicine powder on their faces. Although they were trembling with fear, they could not resist the powder’s soporific effects and one by one, they fell to the ground and fell asleep!
Cai Wei collected them into the Space, ordered Chang Mei to tie them up and threw them into an empty room, planning to deal with them when they returned to Great Jin. She then wrote a letter and sent Brother Ying back to Great Jin to deliver the letter to Nangong Yi.
Having been away for so long, the men must be worried sick. Receiving her message sooner, he could also be reassured sooner. However, knowing his temperament, she was sure to have a tough time once she returned. Thinking about this, she became unsettled, which was why she was eager to make a trip to Lingbei; otherwise, once she returned, who knows how long it would be before he would let her out again.
After writing the letter, Brother Ying took it and flew away. Cai Wei took the opportunity to sleep soundly in the Space. She would have to ride the white-furred tiger through the night, so she needed to recharge her energy while she could, especially now that she was no longer alone - utmost caution was needed.
After sleeping for a few Shi Chen, she woke up, full of energy, and prepared a sumptuous dinner. After eating with Chang Mei, Brother Ying, and Old Turtle, she took the white-furred tiger and left the Space, headed straight for Lingbei under the cover of night.
It had been over three months since she last visited Lingbei. The stocks of glass there must have piled up significantly by now. If she delayed any further, The Storage might not be able to hold it all. Additionally, the cruel funerary burial system of Lingbei had not yet been abolished. Cai Wei had spent several months creating a fruit tree, with the help of Old Turtle and Chang Mei, that could bloom and bear fruit in the extreme cold to help abolish the inhumane funerary burial system of Lingbei.
This trip to Lingbei was not ordinary. Now pregnant, she was much more cautious than usual. Due to the cold weather, she wore multiple layers of heavy clothes, wrapping herself tightly, revealing only her nostrils for breathing, leaving even her eyes covered.
The white-furred tiger carried her speedily through the night. Liaodan was not far from Lingbei, less than a thousand miles away, and by the third watch, the white-furred tiger had already reached the outskirts of The Capital of Northern Ridge, placing Cai Wei in the cemetery of the aristocrats outside the King’s City.
It was now late midnight. Under the bleak moonlight, the suburban cemetery was exceptionally chilling. The towering tombstones shrouded in darkness, the boulders in front of the tombs carved with grim monsters, and most horrifying of all, the dense circle of women’s skeletons around the perimeter of the cemetery.
Many of the skeletons were gnawed on by wild beasts, and even the intact ones captured an expression of extreme horror. These unfortunate women must have spent their last moments in utmost fear and agony, put to death in such a cruel way, their hearts must have been filled with immense pain!
