A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 772 - 710: Danger and Opportunity Coexist

Dugu was a military general, and he was not a thoughtless brute when he spoke. If he were in the Capital City, he would have definitely had his subordinates write a memorial and submit it.

But now, he didn’t have many subordinates, and he believed the most capable person to handle tasks here was the National Master.

This was not for any other reason than the National Master’s ability to come and go without a trace. Plus, the brothers drifting at sea would soon return.

They were facing a tough battle against Yunhang County.

If everyone wasn’t warmly clothed, this battle truly couldn’t be fought!

However, assigning the National Master to a task was the Emperor’s prerogative.

The Emperor, with a slight furrow of his brow, understood Dugu’s meaning and quietly took on the matter.

"National Master, how do you propose we handle this?"

The National Master was still regretting having missed the prime opportunity to accept a disciple at the previous Chongyang Palace banquet.

He hadn’t paid attention to what the Emperor and the others were saying.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

The Emperor was astonished.

Ji Youzhi and Dugu were also astonished.

Princess Ata’s mouth fell wide open in shock!

The highly cultivated National Master had actually been distracted!

Why had he been distracted?

For whom had he been distracted?

"AHEM. This National Master was just pondering how to break the deadlock in Yunhang County! That’s why I didn’t pay attention to what everyone was saying."

Xiaosuisui said, "You’re clearly not telling the truth!"

The National Master’s face stiffened. He had forgotten that the Princess could read minds!

The thought of the Princess’s mind-reading ability made the National Master’s face flush red, then turn pale.

Swallowing hard, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and change the subject. "I’ve made some calculations. Three days from now will be an auspicious time for us. If we operate correctly then, the Great Wizard’s Clone in Yunhang, a certain Mr. Wu, might also be destroyed.

At that point, we can seize the opportunity to bring Yunhang County under our control. Then, we can help the people here dissipate their Witch Power and awaken their Divine Consciousness!"

Xiaosuisui quickly polished off the last mouthful of rice in her bowl and said to Xie Pan’Er, "Princess Ata, is there any more rice?"

"Oh! Yes, there is!"

Princess Ata quickly refilled Xiaosuisui’s bowl. After that, silence returned to the dining table; no one spoke another word.

Xiaosuisui continued her routine of eating and sleeping, then sleeping and eating, but her condition improved day by day.

「In the blink of an eye, three days passed.」

Her lethargy had lessened somewhat, but she had noticeably lost a lot of weight.

"What exactly did you do? Why did you receive a Celestial Punishment?"

Hearing this, Xiaosuisui looked blankly at Princess Ata, who was asking her this question with great solemnity. Xiaosuisui blinked and asked,

"What is Celestial Punishment?"

Princess Ata said, "Did you help someone defy fate and change their destiny? Your condition these past few days seems as if all your accumulated merits have been completely consumed, with none left. Not only that, but it’s as if you’ve also received some kind of unknown punishment. I’ve read about such cases in the records of the Witch God Hall. It is Celestial Punishment."

Witch God Hall?

This was the first time Xiaosuisui had heard of this place. She blinked and asked, "What else is written in those records? Is just sweating and feeling sleepy Celestial Punishment?"

Princess Ata shook her head. "Of course not. Your current situation is merely the outward sign of having lost all your merits. Celestial Punishment is something else.

I don’t know the specifics either. Back when I read it, the records only described the complete loss of merits. As for Celestial Punishment, the records were vague.

They only stated that those who act against the heavens will have their corresponding merits erased, depending on the severity and scale of their actions, and that a Celestial Punishment will descend!"

"What does ’acting against the heavens’ mean? I don’t think I’ve done anything like that!"

Xiaosuisui vigorously rubbed the back of her head, unable to recall anything.

"Your Uncle Seven’s marriage fate—could that be the consequence of you acting against the heavens?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head.

"Uncle Seven’s marriage fate was because he and I entered the Array of Heaven. During the First Level, he was forcibly trapped in an Illusion Array by an Illusory Fox.

Later, when the Array of Heaven was broken, Uncle Seven formed a karmic tie with the Cultivation Realm. When a person forms a karmic tie with the Cultivation Realm, their marriage fate naturally undergoes a change!"

Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s explanation, Princess Ata’s eyes widened. "So, you’re saying that our Tianling Continent might be able to return to the Cultivation Realm in the future?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Xiaosuisui thought for a moment and said, "Heaven’s will is such. I don’t think it will be too long!"

"That’s wonderful! As long as we can return to the Cultivation Realm, we’ll be able to encounter some mighty cultivators. Then, we can ask them to intervene, eliminate the Great Wizard, and restore peace to this world."
