Chapter 532: Chapter 531: What on Earth Did She Say

Yichu made no effort to hide her schadenfreude, even indicating she was more than willing to kick them while they were down.

Her arrogant expression and words made one’s fists itch! Wei Ce didn’t believe for a second that she wasn’t involved. So, he took out a talisman that had stored Little Hong’s superpower and slapped it onto Yichu, as well as onto Jiang Guo, who had just stepped out of the door, looking to join his mother in ridiculing Wei Ce and the others.

The Hunting Falcon Pup, Little Hong, had a superpower that allowed her to hear the thoughts of anyone she touched. When used in reverse, it could force people to speak their minds.

Wei Ce raised a Protective Shield, enveloping Yichu, Jiang Guo, and his own people. With a grim face, he asked, "I’ll ask you one more time. The blossoming of our Iron-eating Beast Clan’s bamboo forest—did you have anything to do with it?"

"No!" Yichu was horrified to find her mouth opening against her will. She quickly clamped a hand over it, glaring furiously at Wei Ce.

’How could she not be involved?’ Wei Ce and Ji Liang exchanged a look. ’That can’t be right.’

Ji Liang’s eyes shifted, and he followed up with another question, "Why did you move? And where did you get so many Crystal Stones?"

"It’s because my son enjoys helping people! He helped an old male, who took him in as a godson and gave him these Crystal Stones. Is there a problem with that?" Yichu’s mouth, seemingly annoyed at being covered, first bit down on her own hand.

The pain made her quickly release her grip, helplessly letting her mouth play the traitor. It spilled everything, like pouring out beans.

’Not that it matters. Let it talk.’ "Our Jiang Guo is just so smart and kind. Good deeds are rewarded, you see? All these Crystal Stones are enough for us to move into a nice courtyard. We won’t have to worry about food or drink for the next twenty or thirty years!

You didn’t just come here looking for an excuse to demand them after finding out we got these Crystal Stones, did you?

Let me tell you, these are our family’s Crystal Stones! They’re for finding my Guo’er a beautiful, gentle, and clever Female Saint..."

She rattled on smugly, spouting a stream of nonsense that was all just showing off how wonderful Jiang Guo was.

But while she might believe her own words, they didn’t. Jiang Guo wasn’t that kind of person at all. ’Could it really have been a stroke of blind luck?’

But the timing of it all was just too coincidental. ’What piece of the puzzle are we missing?’

Si Shuo thought for a moment, then asked, "Yichu Saintess, what is your superpower?"

Yichu’s eyes widened. She stared at Si Shuo with hatred, but her mouth spoke against her will, "It’s the Forgetting Ability!"

’The Forgetting Ability?’ Si Shuo and Ji Liang exchanged a look with the others. It was as if a thread was slowly starting to connect all the events.

"Explain it in detail," Si Shuo pressed, though she was already holding a recording pen, capturing every word Yichu said.

Yichu looked like she wanted to tear Si Shuo apart, but she was pinned in place by Wei Ce’s oppressive aura, unable to move. "It allows me to completely erase certain memories within a half-Beast Hour, without the target even noticing.

I’m very cautious about using my superpower. I avoid it unless it’s a matter of life and death, or when immense benefits or losses are at stake.

For example, when I plotted against Wei Jin, I framed him for having an affair with the Yu Jing Saintess. I just erased his memory, making him mistakenly believe he had wronged me..."

She held nothing back, practically eager to list every single time she had used her superpower and for what reason.

With her Forgetting Ability, she had secured numerous benefits for herself: taking credit for others’ work, framing and scheming against people, twisting right and wrong, and so on.

"What’s the trigger for your superpower?"

"Anyone who hears my voice!" Yichu couldn’t help but laugh. "Oh, my. It’s obvious this whole thing has to do with me. It’s just that, to cover my tracks, I must have used hypnosis to make myself and all the other key players forget. That’s the only way we could all keep the secret.

So what if you found me? So what if you were on the verge of uncovering the truth?

I wasn’t finished before. Not only can I make you forget what I’ve said, I can even alter your memories!

Mmm, how about this? Si Shuo, you are madly in love with my Jiang Guo. In a moment, you’ll go into a room with him to accept his mark, but you’ll feel nothing but disgust for the rest of you males.

And as for the rest of you... you will all cripple your own cultivation. It’s all my fault for being soft-hearted back then. Because Wei Jin was my partner, I couldn’t bring myself to be too ruthless...

But this time, you walked right into my trap, so I won’t hold back! It’s your own fault for meddling..."

Controlling so many males with high cultivation at once, Yichu spoke while clutching a Crystal Stone in her fist, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Yet, her face was a mask of wild triumph and vindication.

She watched eagerly as Wei Ce and the others raised their hands, gathering terrifying Spiritual Power. They were about to strike their own Dantians. It was called crippling one’s cultivation, but the display looked no different from suicide!

Xiao Cheng suddenly snapped out of it, his eyes feeling like they were about to split open as he watched the scene unfold.

He had no time to think. Moving at incredible speed, he disrupted the power being gathered by everyone, young and old. The pups were the easy part. He could stop two at once, one with each hand, since their cultivation was low.

As long as their gathered power was dispersed, they would no longer follow Yichu’s commands.

For the males whose cultivation was lower than his, Xiao Cheng had to use seventy to eighty percent of his Spiritual Power to stop just one of them.

However, the males had formidable spiritual power. Once their own power-gathering was interrupted, they snapped out of their stupor and joined the effort to stop their brothers from self-destructing.

But having their power-gathering so suddenly interrupted wasn’t without a cost. Half of the meridians in their bodies ruptured, and slight cracks appeared in their Dantians. The sharp, aching pain made it almost impossible for them to focus enough to use their own superpowers.

But for the sake of their brothers, they endured the pain and kept fighting.

Yichu stared, wide-eyed, not expecting her superpower to fail. But before she could frantically absorb the energy from her Crystal Stone to launch a second wave, she froze on the spot.

Finally, working together, the group managed to save Wei Ce and Yin Jiang.

They were all covered in blood. And Xiao Cheng, just before collapsing from exhaustion, released his Si Teng, which was nearly broken into several pieces and writhed erratically as it moved.

It gagged Yichu’s mouth, preventing that *thing* from causing more trouble after the backlash woke her up.

But as the group, looking like they were bathed in blood, collapsed to the ground gasping for breath, they suddenly remembered their little female.

They all turned in unison to look at Si Shuo, only to see her staring ardently at Jiang Guo??!!

"Xiao Cheng, what did Yichu say to the kitten?" Zhi Le asked, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead as a terrible thought crossed his mind and a chill ran through him.

Xiao Cheng was stunned too. He didn’t know what Yichu’s superpower was, so as the one with the rebound superpower, he had a heavy responsibility. He had to temporarily suppress his gossipy heart, constantly muttering "rebound" under his breath while also applying the Time Law to himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to save so many pups and brothers.

The situation had been too critical, his mind couldn’t even process it all. Naturally, he had prioritized the pups and males who were about to self-destruct. As for the little female standing quietly on the side, the most he had done was keep an eye on her to make sure she didn’t try to harm herself.
