Chapter 221

Although her situation of crossing over was quite unusual, she had never encountered the phenomenon of two souls inhabiting a single body.

Moreover, she had now returned to her original body.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Just as Lin Zaozao was silently speculating in her heart, the woman riding on the horse swiftly dismounted and stood not far from Lin Zaozao.

As Lin Zaozao examined the woman's clothing, as well as the ceremonial crown on her head, and compared them to the portrait sent by the spies.

The woman before her was none other than the Female Emperor of Canglan Country, Ye Hui.

Based on the portrait alone, Lin Zaozao didn't find anything amiss about the Female Emperor of Canglan. However, when she saw the person in real life, Lin Zaozao inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Especially her sharp face and large eyes, they made Lin Zaozao feel like she knew her well.

She shouldn't have seen the Female Emperor of Canglan before!

Then where did that familiar feeling towards the Female Emperor of Canglan come from?

"Mingzhu, those assassins didn't harm you, did they?"

"I'm fine. They were just insignificant pests, not worth my attention. Your Majesty Ye Hui, thank you for your concern."

Lin Zaozao politely replied.

As the Female Emperor of Canglan looked at Lin Zaozao sitting on Zhaocai's back, a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes.

That hint of hostility in her eyes didn't escape Lin Zaozao's notice. Hmph!

Was she trying to kill her?

Even if she wanted to kill her, did she have to make it so obvious? It made Lin Zaozao feel like a blind person who couldn't see the fleeting fierceness in her eyes.

The Female Emperor of Canglan looked at Lin Zaozao on Zhaocai's back, her eyes narrowed with hidden intentions, and swiftly walked towards Lin Zaozao.

But before she could take a few steps forward, she was blocked by Jinbao.

Jinbao, who had always been obedient, crouched on the ground, its front paws slightly bent, showing an attacking posture, baring its teeth and staring ferociously at her.

It was as if Jinbao would bite off her neck if the Female Emperor of Canglan dared to approach Lin Zaozao.

Even Zhaocai, under Lin Zaozao's bottom, bared its teeth at this moment, its front paws slightly bent, staring fiercely at the Female Emperor of Canglan.

Faced with this situation, before Lin Zaozao could say a word, the Female Emperor of Canglan simply looked at Zhaocai and Jinbao and smiled faintly. Then, she quickly took a few steps back.

However, within the span of her raising her hand, Lin Zaozao clearly saw that the person or ghost who had been following her closely actually rushed straight towards Jinbao.

Seeing the grim smile on that ghostly figure's face, Lin Zaozao quickly jumped off Zhaocai and stood directly in front of Jinbao, seemingly comforting it, but in reality, using her own body to block the approaching ghost.

How could her Jinbao be harmed by that ghostly thing?

When the apparition approached Lin Zaozao, her face displayed a terrified expression as if she had encountered something dreadful.

After taking a step back, as if suddenly realizing something, she rushed straight towards Lin Zaozao again.

Watching the approaching apparition, Lin Zaozao remained calm and composed, as if she hadn't noticed it at all.

She definitely didn't want to let go and then have to squeeze it again if it turned out she hadn't killed it.

"Uncle Zhang, quickly go and see how my future mother-in-law is doing. Why did she suddenly collapse on the ground? In broad daylight, I thought she was covering her neck and doing a welcome dance for me!

I was just wondering what kind of dance she was performing while grabbing her neck! How did she end up on the ground? Please don't tell me she's dead!

She can't be dead! If she is, then when Ye Yi and I have our wedding, there will be a dead person standing in front of us. That would be so unlucky!"

Listening to Lin Zaozao's sarcastic and weird voice, Uncle Zhang didn't understand why the Empress of Canglan Country would suddenly behave strangely and collapse on the ground. But following Lin Zaozao's orders, he walked over to the Empress's side.

Although there were many guards around the Empress of Canglan Country at this time, anxiously checking her pulse and calling her "Your Majesty," Uncle Zhang managed to avoid them under the pretext of being concerned about her health. He directly placed his hand on her neck's major artery.

Within a second, Uncle Zhang quickly withdrew his hand and walked towards Lin Zaozao.

When Lin Zaozao's gaze met Uncle Zhang's, he shook his head slightly.

With Uncle Zhang's confirmation, Lin Zaozao looked incredulously at the ghostly figure she held in her hand, which was no longer struggling.

Using this ghost, she had easily and simply killed the Empress of Canglan Country.

Before entering Lan City, she had thought of countless ways to secretly kill the Empress without anyone suspecting her involvement.

But she never expected that the method she used to kill the Empress of Canglan Country would go so smoothly.

Was the process of killing the Empress too easy?

Most importantly, she didn't feel anything! Did the old Empress of Canglan Country really die just like that?

Or perhaps, the woman before her wasn't the Empress of Canglan Country at all, but a body double? That's why it was so easy for her to kill her?

During her time in Canglan Country, Han Ye had already found two substitutes for her. When Lin Zaozao looked at the two girls who looked exactly like her, her eyes widened in surprise.

If it weren't for the fact that the real protagonist was standing in front of them, she would have suspected that she was the substitute.

Now, seeing the Female Emperor of Canglan Country being easily killed by her, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but wonder. The one she killed was just an impersonator.

[Host, quickly use the otherworldly soul in your hand to exchange for a way to rescue the Ye Yi clan and the entire Canglan Country from this system.]

[Otherworldly soul? Are you referring to her?]

Lin Zaozao looked at the motionless ghost in her hand, puzzled.

[Yes, host. This ghost comes from another world and has been residing by the side of the Female Emperor of Canglan, influencing her actions and behavior.

If this otherworldly soul had obediently left this world before you were born, none of this would have happened.

However, in order to seek revenge on you and to evade the punishment from the heavens for traversing two lifetimes, she used the fortune of the entire Canglan Country to stabilize her divine soul.

Now, the fate of this otherworldly soul and the life of the Female Emperor of Canglan are tightly intertwined. So, when you strangle this otherworldly soul, the Female Emperor of Canglan will also die with her.

The otherworldly soul tried to absorb your fortune by licking you with her tongue.

Unfortunately, with the mask that this system has given you, not only can you see her, but you can also touch her.

So, she never expected that as soon as she saw you, she would be easily crushed to death by you.

This process of killing her went so smoothly, and this system is truly delighted.]
