The news of the tribes getting killed in the northern wetlands spread among the southern tribes as the fleeing shapeshifters passed by.

  The shapeshifters of the tribes were all nervous.

  Then there were rumors saying that it was the beast god punishing them because he was pissed off by what happened before.

  The witcher spirit had brought disaster to them.

  Ming Fake Witcher Spirit Shu: “.……”


  The scapegoat Ming Shu took all the blame. But the shapeshifters could only curse her and do nothing else to her. They couldn’t even enter the valley.

  What could it be if it was not the witcher spirit’s power?

  She was the witcher spirit!

  The rumors gradually became facts with “solid evidence.”


  “I want to go there and have a look.”


  Yun Huang told Ming Shu that he wanted to check the situation in the northern wetlands.

  “We’re very safe here,” Ming Shu said.

  “I want to go there and have a look.”


  “.……”


  If she didn’t allow Yun Huang to go, he would absolutely leave in secret.

  Ming Shu asked Wen Nuan to prepare her a lot of dried sweet potatoes…… There was no other way, because it was the only food that was produced in large quantities here, and other food was not enough to support them.

  Then Ming Shu made it clear for Ming Zhe that the clansmen shouldn’t leave the valley in the coming days.

  Since the valley was equipped with everything, they could live well without leaving, even for several months.

  Then she took Yun Huang and left, heading to the northern wetlands.

  As they passed by the boar tribe, the boar leader rushed out and shouted, “Leader Yao Luo, have you also heard the news? Where are you going?”


  “I’m going to check the situation there.” Ming Shu looked over at the boar tribe and saw Er Ya being cursed fiercely by a shapeshifter from a distance.

  She didn’t see Er You. But she heard that the piggy piggy’s little princess watched him closely and barely allowed him out of her sight.

  According to the Host’s wish……

  It should be fulfilled now.

  “The shapeshifters from that side all ran to our side……” The boar leader didn’t notice what Ming Shu was seeing, and his entire countenance seemed very anxious. “Will it happen to our tribes here?”


  “I don’t know.”


  The boar leader was still talking, “They all said it’s the beast god’s punishment, we really have offended the leader, would it be……”


  He suddenly paused.

  He looked up and met with Ming Shu’s smiling eyes.

  The rumor said she was the witcher spirit, and because of her, the beast god handed the punishment down to them all.

  The boar leader felt a frightening chill in his spine and explained a little awkwardly, “I—I didn’t mean that, I’m just worried about my tribe.”


  “Oh, keep worrying then.”


  Ming Shu left with Yun Huang.

  The boar leader: “.……”


  Why did he feel that she wasn’t meaning to say that before?……

  The swamps in the north were damp, and even though the earth and sky were hot, there were still many swamps here; if you were not careful, you would fall into them.

  Ming Shu held Yun Huang by the hand and led him forward.

  They met many shapeshifters along the way. The shapeshifters were all very curious when seeing Ming Shu and the strange Yun Huang walk in the direction of the wetlands.

  However, the threat of death meant the shapeshifters did not have time to pay attention to them.

  There were some simple buildings ahead, which should be a tribe’s camp.

  There were already no shapeshifters left in the tribe, but Ming Shu saw many shapeshifter bodies. Because of the hot weather, the bodies began to decay, and the air was full of a foul smell.

  These shapeshifters had no wounds on them, it was unknown how they died.

  Several other tribes were also in a similar situation. The dead shapeshifters had no wounds on them; truly, it was like a plague.

  Ming Shu was afraid that it was really a plague, so she took Yun Huang away from those tribes.

  When the air became fresh and clear, she stopped.

  Ming Shu pinched Yun Huang, and the latter turned his head and said slowly, “It’s that thing.”


  “What?”


  Yun Huang continued with difficulty, “The witcher spirit.”


  Ming Shu didn’t feel surprised, but was a little curious. “Why did it kill so many shapeshifters?”


  Yun Huang: “To become strong.”


  Ming Shu held Yun Huang partially in her arms and put her chin on his shoulder. “Why is it that killing shapeshifters can make it become strong? What’s the principle of survival for a witcher spirit? ”


  He felt Ming Shu’s weight and didn’t dare to move.

  Yun Huang didn’t understand what the principle of survival was.

  But he roughly knew what Ming Shu wanted to ask.

  “There was only one witcher spirit all along and it’s suppressed under the beast god’s mountain. It kills shapeshifters in order to become strong and flee from the beast god’s mountain.”


  Once upon a time, the beast god really existed.

  While the witcher spirit was something that specially hunted and killed shapeshifters, it had no concrete form and could be transformed into a shapeshifter.

  The beast god suppressed the witcher spirit under its mountain in order to protect shapeshifters.

  But the deformed shapeshifters were thrown into the mountain, and countless deformed shapeshifters died in the mountain, producing endless grievance which had then given the witcher spirit a chance to escape.

  But if it wanted to leave the beast god’s mountain for real, that was not enough.

  Ming Shu looked aside. “Didn’t you know nothing?”


  Yun Huang was still wearing a blank expression. “Just now…… I suddenly remembered it.”


  “Then do you know what you are now?”


  Yun Huang looked over at Ming Shu with his dark eyes and reflected her in them.

  “Yes.”


  Yun Huang reached out to grip the wooden tablet around his neck.

  He knew who he was, why he existed, and what he had come for.

  But……

  Yun Huang was really blank now.

  Those things didn’t seem to be very important.

  He looked at the girl who leaned against him. She had beautiful eyes and eyebrows, her eyes were shallow and clear, and she always had a faint smile at her mouth, in a perfect arc.

  The whole world seemed to light up when he saw her.

  He hated to part with her.

  Yun Huang turned around and pulled Ming Shu into his arms. Under the girl’s smiling eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her.

  “If I’m gone, don’t let anyone else be with you, okay?” he asked in a low voice.

  “Why would you be gone?”


  The tip of Yun Huang’s cold nose touched that of her warm nose, warmth passing between the two.

  He moved his lips. “Because I’m here to bring it back.”


  Back to the beast god’s mountain.

  The witcher spirit would indeed bring disaster to shapeshifters. The witcher spirit was not real before, though.

  The witcher spirit this time…… was real.

  The witcher spirit was not supposed to appear.

  So here he was.

  Ming Shu put her arms around his neck and kissed him back even harder. The tip of his cold tongue felt her warmth and danced with her.

  Yun Huang was a little upset. She didn’t promise him.

  Would she do the same to others in the future?

  After a short while, Ming Shu stepped aside slightly. “If you’re gone, I’ll have one shapeshifter serve me each day.”


  Yun Huang opened his red lips. “Why?”


  Ming Shu poked his chest. “Since you’re gone, why can’t I have others? Who do you think you are?”


  Yun Huang fell into silence. He lowered his head slowly.

  “The best way is to stay with me and be good, do you understand?”


  “But the witcher spirit……”


  “What witcher, what spirit, do you think I’m important or is the witcher spirit important?”


  “You,” Yun Huang blurted out without even thinking about it.

  Ming Shu smiled with satisfaction. “Okay then. I’ll help deal with the witcher spirit for you.”


  Wasn’t it only a ghost?

  How much effort would it take to catch a ghost?

  Yun Huang didn’t know what to say and just nodded his head dumbfoundedly.

  Anything she said was fine by him.

  “Be good.”


  Ming Shu reached out and touched Yun Huang’s head.

  Yun Huang looked at the person in front of him intently.

  Ming Shu slid her hand to his face and pinched his cheek lightly. “What are you looking at?”


  Yun Huang answered honestly, “I don’t know.”


  Ming Shu chuckled. “What do you know then.”


  “I know you’re here.”


  Ming Shu was stunned.

  But then she recovered her smiling expression and said gently, with a tender tone that was hard to notice, “Let’s go and finish the job early so that I can go back to my female cook.”
