“Mother is right. It’s my fault.” Zheng Li suddenly looked up at Ji Zhao, his tone extremely sincere. “I spoke too quickly, and I didn’t mean it. I hope Manager Ji can forgive me.”
Ji Zhao did not say anything. She could tell that Zheng Li was not apologizing sincerely.
In fact, he hated her even more.
“Dear, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Shall we go home?” For some reason, when she met Zheng Li’s gaze again, Ji Zhao suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
“Alright, let’s go home.” Shen Yao hurriedly hugged Ji Zhao. “Goodbye.”
When she returned to the Peach Blossom Cottage, Ji Zhao was actually sound asleep.
Looking at the beads of sweat on Ji Zhao’s forehead, Shen Yao nervously held her hand and waited by her side.
…..
At that moment, the moment Ji Zhao opened her eyes, a dazzling white halo welcomed her. She was in a daze and finally saw the scene in front of her clearly.
It was as if she was tied to the deck of a large ship. She had no strength left in her body. She opened her mouth to speak, but she felt a sharp pain in her throat. In the end, she spat out a mouthful of black blood uncontrollably.
“Such a beautiful girl. What a pity.”
“Who asked her to offend Eldest Young Master?”
She suddenly heard the conversation between two people.
“However, this Eldest Young Master of the Zheng Family is really ruthless. He actually killed a whole family. Tsk tsk…”
“Shh! Do you want to die? How dare you spout nonsense?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We’re at sea now. It’s time to throw this girl into the sea later! But this girl looks pretty hot. Are we really not going to have some fun first?”
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Ji Zhao was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
Just as Ji Zhao bit the tip of her tongue, a sharp pain suddenly came from between her brows!
“You’re awake?” Seeing his disciple slowly open her eyes, Immortal Crane felt relieved.
“Master?” Ji Zhao felt her head hurt even more.
She struggled to sit up in bed and looked around before reacting. She had been dreaming again.
“After 1 brought you back from the Zheng residence yesterday, you fell asleep. However, not long after, you started to have a fever, and your forehead was burning.” Shen Yao handed her the soup he had cooked. “Zhaozhao, are you still feeling unwell?”
Seeing Shen Yao’s haggard face, Ji Zhao’s heart ached. She nodded obediently and said, “Shen Yao, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
“Did you have another nightmare?”
“Mm.” Ji Zhao nodded. She held up the bowl of calming soup with both hands, deep in thought.
In the dream, she was tied to the deck of a ship;
From the conversation between the two of them, it was not difficult to tell that Zheng Li wanted her life. More importantly, Zheng Li would kill the entire Zheng family.
How could Zheng Li do such a heartless thing?
The Zheng family was still safe and sound, but what could she do to help herself and the Zheng family resolve this crisis?
“Your pulse is a little chaotic.” Immortal Crane loosened the hand that was checking her pulse worriedly and asked with a concerned gaze, “Did you have a nightmare?”
“Yes,” Ji Zhao replied gloomily. “I felt like 1 had a very scary dream, but 1 forgot about it after 1 woke up.”
“It’s good that you forgot.” Immortal Crane rubbed her head lovingly. “If you can’t sleep, get up and walk around to stretch your muscles.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“Silly disciple!”
After Immortal Crane left the room, Shen Yao walked to her side and gently grabbed her hand to bring it to his lips. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Zhaozhao…”
“I’m really fine. Don’t worry.” Ji Zhao smiled at him. She thought for a moment and moved to the side of the bed. She patted the empty space beside Shen Yao. “Shen Yao, can you accompany me?”
“Okay.”
Shen Yao hugged her shoulders and the two of them leaned against the soft mattress.
Ji Zhao leaned her head slightly on his broad and firm shoulder and gently closed her eyes. “Shen Yao, 1 still want to sleep a little longer.”
“Okay.”
A moment later, Ji Zhao entered the dream again. However, this time, she came to the Zheng residence. The smell of blood that filled the air was nauseating.
The Zheng family’s exquisite backyard was now covered in bright red blood. The servants were lying on the ground, all of them dead with grievances.
Ji Zhao clutched her chest sadly and walked towards the reception pavilion step by step.
She saw Madam Zheng, whose body parts had been cut off and disfigured, Second Young Master Zheng, who was covered in wounds, and Rongrong, whose eyes were tightly closed—
“Goodness! The people from the Governor’s residence were all killed!”
“I heard that it was done by the bandits from Mi Mountain!”
“Didn’t they say that it was Eldest Young Master Zheng’s doing?”
“By the way, do you still remember the beautiful girl that Eldest Young Master Zheng brought back at the beginning of the month? 1 heard that she’s the leader of the bandits in Mi Mountain!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Ever since Eldest Young Master Zheng married that bandit, things kept happening to the Zheng family, right?”
Mi Mountain? Woman? Leader?
Ji Zhao memorized these keywords. In the end, everything in front of her suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated.
When Ji Zhao woke up again, it was already the last day of September.
“Are you hungry?” Shen Yao’s heart ached. “You haven’t eaten for two days and two nights.”
“I’m a little hungry.” Ji Zhao opened her mouth obediently and tasted the red bean porridge Shen Yao fed her. She smiled in satisfaction.
After eating a large bowl of red bean porridge, Ji Zhao finally felt at ease.
“Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao suddenly looked at her. His eyes were already red. “Was what happened in your dream very dangerous?”
Zhaozhao had dreams when she was in the village too.
However, at that time, she would not be so sleepy.
Hence, Shen Yao was really worried.
“It’s indeed a little dangerous.” Looking into Shen Yao’s worried eyes, Ji Zhao could only tell the truth. “But Shen Yao, don’t worry. I’ll definitely turn misfortune into fortune.”
It must be because of the Earth God’s secret protection that she could foresee the danger in advance.
“Is Master at home?” Ji Zhao suddenly thought of something else and frowned. “Shen Yao, 1 want to see Master.”
“Mystical techniques?” The Immortal Crane did not expect Ji Zhao to suddenly ask this question. He was a little surprised. “There are countless experts in the world. As for mystical techniques, they should exist. It’s just that we’re all ordinary people and we don’t have any mages who cultivate mystical techniques around us. But All Tao, why are you asking this?”
“Master,” Ji Zhao called out in a low voice, “Actually, every time 1 have a nightmare, it’s not a nightmare. Instead, 1 experience what happens in my dream.. Some of those things have already happened before, and some have yet to happen…”
