Chapter 121: Chapter 121: I Won’t Let Anything Happen to You

Listening to him, Shen Yue finally understood. No wonder it had taken Bai Chaosi so long to find her that day after he’d fallen into the abyss.

’So he ran into this human-faced flower?’

But seeing the looks on their faces, she had a bad feeling.

"What’s wrong with this flower? Is it special in some way?"

Bai Chaosi looked at her, his gentle features creased into a frown. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"The flower is called the Devouring God Flower. As its name suggests, it can devour a person’s spiritual power, bringing them under its control and turning them into a senseless, unthinking beast. It then grows new flower seeds from the body of the person it consumed. The victim dies completely, becoming nothing more than fertilizer for the flower."

"Wherever its fragrance permeates or its roots touch, the land becomes barren. All life withers and perishes. That’s why it’s also known as the Destructive Flower Seed."

As Shen Yue listened, the hairs on her arms stood on end.

’That’s not a flower, it’s a demon!’

’Just its fragrance can cause all life to wither and perish?’

’A fragrance? Who can control where a scent drifts?’

’No wonder they’re all so tense. If something like this were unleashed, I’m afraid the entire Beast World would become a living Purgatory.’

’No wonder Bai Chaosi said he deliberately collapsed the cave entrance when he left the swamp.’

’He was trying to keep that thing from getting out!’

Then, a sudden thought struck her. The man in black had been caught, only to suddenly escape by having his body rupture. ’Could he have another plot in motion?!’

She shot to her feet, horrified.

"Oh no—don’t tell me the man in black’s target is the Devouring God Flower!"

’Otherwise, I wouldn’t have seen those images just now.’

’I only ever see visions like that when I’m foreseeing imminent danger.’

’This time was different, though. I fainted and saw it all inside my head.’

’But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a premonition of danger.’

’So I’m almost certain now. The man in black suddenly changed his target from us to the Devouring God Flower!’

Hearing this, Bai Chaosi said:

"I was worried about that myself after you mentioned the human-faced flower. The very night I came out of that underground hall, I took my men and sealed the exit on that cliff. I even left some of them there to stand guard."

Shen Yue was surprised to hear that Bai Chaosi had already taken precautions.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

With that, Bai Chaosi stood up.

"But if his target really is the Devouring God Flower, my men won’t be able to stop him. Once he gets into that underground hall, it’s only a matter of time before he finds it. We have to stop him."

Huang Ziyue had already turned to leave.

"You all stay here and keep watch. I’m going to investigate."

With that, his figure flickered and vanished.

Bai Chaosi glanced in the direction Huang Ziyue had gone.

Then he looked at Shen Yue.

"I’m going too. You just stay here and don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you."

Shen Yue opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the white figure before her flashed and disappeared.

Gu Fangqi glanced after them and frowned.

"This is a serious matter. The two of them can’t stop that man alone. You three stay here. Protect the children and Shen Yue."

With that, the third man disappeared into the night.

Mu Silin, Ye Lüqi, and Lan Cangyue were left standing there, their brows also furrowed in worry.

Then, Mu Silin looked at Shen Yue.

"Go inside and rest with the children. We’ll stand guard out here."

He added reassuringly:

"Don’t worry. As long as we’re here, you’ll be safe."

Shen Yue took a deep breath, glanced at the three of them, and turned back to the house.

Once inside, she didn’t sleep.

Instead, she forced herself to calm down and then opened her space.

After everything that had happened, she knew one thing: if she and her children were going to survive, she had to prepare for the life-or-death battle to come.

...

The three men who had left didn’t return all night.

And the three guardians outside the bamboo house—Mu Silin and the others—had also stayed awake all night.

When Shen Yue pushed open the door, she saw that none of the three looked well.

At that moment, just as she was about to speak...

BOOM!
