Chu Ci didn't realize anything was amiss until after she woke up from a good sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed that the star-patterned chain on her hand was flickering with a faint silver glow. Chu Ci felt a sense of danger and furrowed her brow. She put on her outer garment and went out of the house, which was located in an attic. When she walked out, she looked far into the distance from the attic and saw that the night sky above Qingzhou City was swirling with eerie, evil lights. The clouds were twisted and turned, forming a deep purple glow that seemed to be watching her.

  She was puzzled, and then she saw Cheng Qi running towards the pavilion from the bamboo forest, panting, with a terrible look on his face, pale and as if he had received some kind of shock.

  Chu Ci hurried downstairs and before Cheng Qi could run over, she couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

  Cheng Qi rushed to her front, his face turning pale and green, and even blurted out a loud curse, "Those disgusting fetal spirits don't know where they came from, now the streets are full of those monsters, many civilians on the street have been attacked, when I ran back...I saw one of the fetal spirits gnawing on human bones, it's too terrifying...the prince told me to hurry back and take you away!"

  Cheng Qi said as he wanted to take her away from here, but Chu Ci frowned and pushed his hand away, asking in a low voice: "Where is the prince?"

  "He was worried that the Dark Guard and Situ Gongzi would be collecting those fetus spirits, fearing that tonight would be a sleepless night! Cheng Qi thought of the Blue House Fort being exterminated in one night, and didn't know what kind of state Qingzhou City would be reduced to after tonight... Thinking of this, his heart became anxious."

  Chu Ci asked again: "Is Xiao Yu safe now?"

  Cheng Qi nodded and said: "It was moved to a safe place by Master Situ early in the morning, don't worry."

  "Alright, then you go find Xiao Yu directly."

  "What?" Qiu Meng asked, "Chu Ci, what do you mean..."

  Chu Ci buckled the curved knife with a short blade onto his whip, pulled it hard and grasped it in his hand. He raised his head and said in a deep voice: "I'll go help the young master."

  "But Your Highness said..."

  "Chu Ci raised her eyes and interrupted him: 'Are you going to listen to him or me?'"

  Cheng Qi glared at him and took a deep breath, saying: "Fine, I'll go with you!"

  Chu Ci didn't decline again and nodded: "Take up your weapons, let's go."

  Chu Ci pushed open the door of Lingnan Pavilion and walked out. As he did, a cold and gloomy wind blew in, and when he looked around, the bamboo forest was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, making it hard to see anything clearly.

  "Chu Ci, why is the star chain in your hand always flashing?" The two people walked through the bamboo forest, Cheng Qi saw that her star chain was constantly flashing softly, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

  "Chu Ci looked down and glanced at the star chain in her hand, saying, 'I don't know either, maybe it's telling me that there is danger in the city.'"

  Cheng Qi nodded in agreement, thinking it was probably so.

  Until they walked out of the bamboo forest, both of them were safe and sound, nor did they see any fetal spirits. It can be seen that these monsters have not yet spread to this side of Lingnan Pavilion.

  But Chu Ci didn't have time to catch his breath, and soon he heard ear-piercing screams coming from the streets ahead. Chu Ci's heart tightened, and he hastily said, "Go take a look quickly!"
