A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 770 - 709: Heavenly Punishment

Ji Youzhi patted his shoulder, shaking his head helplessly. "You’re better off not knowing anything!"

Dugu was puzzled, looking at him with a doubtful expression.

"Trust me, really!" Ji Youzhi affirmed with certainty, holding Xiaosuisui as he walked towards the house. As he went, he asked, "Has there been anything unusual in the past few days? Do you have any plans?"

The National Master immediately followed up. "In the past few days, I took the opportunity to investigate the entire Yunhang County," he said. "The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Lu, whom His Majesty sent for disaster relief, and his party are already under arrest. There is still a Li Yunsheng on the run, who has evidence of Wu Li’s conspiracy with the Great Wizard of Nanjiang over the years!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youzhi responded, "Wu Li is already dead, so the evidence isn’t very useful anymore. However, this Lu Yunsheng has not surfaced yet, which leaves only two possibilities. One is that he is already gone. The other is that he has fallen into the hands of the Great Wizard’s clone in Yunhang."

Ji Youzhi was a Divine Hunter. For many matters that came to him, he merely needed to voice his thoughts and let his mind work to analyze the current situation.

"Isn’t there a possibility that he is hiding by himself?" Princess Ata asked.

Ji Youzhi replied, "There is, but the chance is slim."

The National Master continued, "If this Lu Yunsheng is still alive and hasn’t fallen into the hands of the Great Wizard, it means he’s a very resourceful man. As long as his integrity is sound, he will undoubtedly be a pillar of the nation in the future!"

Princess Ata remained silent. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, took the sleeping Xiaosuisui from Ji Youzhi’s hands, placed her on the bed, and softly asked, "How long has it been since she slept? Why is she so exhausted?"

Ji Youzhi was also puzzled by this. "Not too long! Ever since she got on Da Feng’s back, she has been sleeping most of the time, with few moments of wakefulness!"

"How many days did it take for you to return from Wangwu Mountain, and was she sleeping all these days?" Princess Ata inquired.

Ji Youzhi didn’t answer immediately. Dugu calculated the time and said, "We spent four days in total traveling from Wangwu Mountain to here. Along the way, she was seldom awake. Basically, whenever she woke up, it was either to tell Da Feng where to go, or to eat, drink, and relieve herself. Afterward, she’d sleep whenever she felt like it, just like a newborn baby!"

Upon hearing Dugu’s words, Princess Ata’s expression turned somewhat somber. "Did anything happen on your way here?" she asked.

Ji Youzhi shook his head.

She then looked at Dugu, who also shook his head.

"That’s strange." Princess Ata hurriedly checked Xiaosuisui’s pulse—everything was normal! She placed her hand on Xiaosuisui’s forehead; it was covered in cold sweat. It even felt a little icy! "Why is there so much sweat, and it’s cold sweat!"

"HUH?" Dugu said. "I remember when we were at sea, she sometimes seemed to sweat all over!"

"It’s not ’seemed.’ Every time she fell asleep, she would sweat all over, and it was cold sweat," Ji Youzhi said. He had been very worried at first, but when he saw that she would wake up to eat, drink, or relieve herself as needed, he gradually relaxed. He hadn’t expected that as soon as they returned, Princess Ata would notice it and start asking about Xiaosuisui’s condition.

"How many days has this been happening?" Princess Ata asked.

"It started when we left Wangwu Mountain," Ji Youzhi replied.

"Then, did anything special happen at Wangwu Mountain?" Princess Ata probed, trying to get to the root of the matter.

Ji Youzhi didn’t know. Dugu knew even less, so they could only shake their heads at Princess Ata, indicating they didn’t know.

"Princess Ata! Is there something wrong with my Suisui?" Ji Youzhi asked worriedly.

"This is Celestial Punishment!" Princess Ata declared.

"What did you say?" Ji Youzhi was aghast.

"What is Celestial Punishment?" Dugu didn’t understand, but judging from Princess Ata’s expression, he knew it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Princess Ata explained, "It means Xiaosuisui has defied the heavens to change fate, and she is suffering the consequences of that."

"Defied the heavens to change fate? Is it because of me?" Ji Youzhi became unsettled, shocked to the core.

The National Master asked, "Divine Hunter Ji, are you referring to the matter of the marriage thread that the princess mentioned earlier?"

Ji Youzhi nodded vigorously. "It must be! But I don’t know how she helped me change my marriage fate! This Girl, why is she so foolish?"
