The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands-Chapter 296: Waiting for Murong Hai
Chapter 296
【Host, temporary task. As long as the host completes the task, the system will immediately help you regain your slim figure.】
【What task?】
【Put the reward of making loud farts for three days on the wizard when you transferred the illness for him just now.】
【That's too mean, isn't it?】
Lin Zaozao sneakily glanced at the wizard and said somewhat embarrassed.
【Host, when did you become so kind-hearted? Don't you want a slim figure anymore?】
【Sigh! I do. But, system, can you wait for me to finish talking to the wizard before putting this reward of making loud farts on him? Otherwise, I'm afraid the one who will ultimately suffer will be me!】
【Okay. Host, you changed the wizard's fate of dying early, so he must pay some price. Otherwise, he will face greater punishment for suddenly changing his fate. Making loud farts for three days will only make him lose face, not his life.】
【System, do you have a grudge against the wizard?】
【I do, a deep-seated hatred. I won't rest until I settle the score with him!】
【You're tough on the outside but soft-hearted, system! If you're so bent on not letting the wizard off, why bother saving him? Just let him die already!】
【No. He can't die. If he dies, how can I personally seek revenge on him!!!】
【You're a hypocritical system!】
【You, chubby host!】
【You, stupid system!】
【I won't go. I'll only leave when I see the Black Bear Spirit let out a fart!】
【Then you wait! Wait to smell the fart and leave!】
After Lin Zaozao finished speaking with the system, when she looked up at the wizard again, she saw him instinctively shrink back.
He pointed at Lin Zaozao, muttering something incomprehensible.
No, this wizard seemed to be cursing someone.
However, she couldn't hear what he was saying.
It was as if there was a shield around him that automatically muted his words.
"Wizard, what are you saying?"
"XXXXXXXX"
"What?"
Lin Zaozao took a step forward, patting the wizard's arm.
The next second...
"XX you XXXX, you XXXX XXXX..."
"Stop, stop..."
Lin Zaozao tugged at the wizard's long beard, signaling him to be quiet for a moment.
Seeing his precious beard being tugged, the wizard immediately stopped his string of curses, patting Lin Zaozao's hand to signal her to let go.
"Why are you tugging at it? If my precious beard is damaged, can you afford to compensate me?"
"I can afford it! It's just a few broken hairs! Look, among the horses I brought, their tails are much prettier than your ragged beard.
If I pluck your beard, I can easily attach a few strands to each horse's tail and make you a fake beard."
"Mingzhu, you're still as wicked as before. You wicked woman, go away."
Seeing the wizard's angry demeanor, Lin Zaozao could only tactfully take a step back.
"Wizard, let's talk business now without cursing. We've wasted so much time without even discussing anything serious."
"Fine, I'll talk now."
After adjusting his beard, the wizard put on a serious expression and began to speak.
"Do you know why in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, the Frontier Region is seen as a place with fierce people and unforgivable crimes?"
"Is it because of the rumors spread by the Female Emperors of Canglan and Fengshuo countries?"
"Yes, but there's one more thing. Besides the Female Emperors of Canglan and Fengshuo spreading rumors, there's also the help of High Priest Hanye.
He strengthened the rumors, making ordinary people afraid to venture to the Frontier Region. Do you know why, Zaozao?"
"I don't know. Wizard, just tell me directly."
Zaozao looked at the Wizard pretending to be profound, feeling a bit annoyed. 𝑓𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝓸𝓂
"Zaozao, you must be aware of the events in Purgatory Valley. Initially, the Female Emperors of Canglan and Fengshuo wanted to establish Purgatory Valley in the Frontier Region, but they were stopped by High Priest Hanye and me.
The reason being, we must leave the last piece of pure land in this world, waiting for your return.
Or rather, for you, who will regain memories of your past life, to return to the first place."
After the Wizard finished speaking, seeing Zaozao's furrowed brows, he continued.
"Zaozao, you must have asked many people about your past life. But they all say it's not time yet, they can't tell you directly.
If you want to know, you have to find the answers yourself. It's not that they are being mysterious and not telling you.
It's because they simply can't say. Or rather, they can't express it.
Just like me just now. I wanted to tell you something, but the words that came out of my mouth turned into something else.
Over the years, because the Frontier Region has not been disturbed by outsiders. Now, apart from being a bit harsher in conditions, it is the most simple and honest place in terms of people's character.
You can feel this from Dulu, Dadala, or other people.
Zaozao, in your past life, you were a greatly respected High Priest, someone who truly cared for the world.
You were the kindest, most upright being in this world. But, it was also because of this, that you suffered so greatly."
As the Wizard spoke, his voice was almost inaudible.
"Did I die a tragic death in my past life?"
As soon as Zaozao's voice fell, the faces of the Wizard, Gu Shan, Ji Fantian, as well as Little Xibei and Ye Yi who stood behind Zaozao, all turned deathly pale.
Instantly, the atmosphere became extremely cold.
"If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes. So Wizard, I want to ask now, why did I return to the Frontier Region after regaining memories of my past life?"
"We don't know. This was something you speculated on from your past life."
"Is that so?"
Zaozao said helplessly.
"Do you know about Zhao Cai and Jin Bao? I can understand their conversations. I asked them about my past life.
Unfortunately, they all forgot."
As soon as Zaozao finished speaking, the Wizard clenched his hand on his lap. From the bulging veins on his hand, Zaozao could see that he was trying to control his emotions.
"Zhao Cai and Jin Bao have been following you and another person since your past life. They were with you for over ten years, but in the end, they died before you.
Since the deaths of Zhao Cai and Jin Bao, your temperament changed drastically. As for what happens next...
I'm sorry, I can't say. Or rather, even if I said it, it would be in vain, as you wouldn't hear it."
"In that case, you don't need to say anymore. Once I have dealt with the refugees here, I will go to Fengshuo Country.
After I personally end the life of the Female Emperor of Fengshuo, I will first save Murong Hai, then go to Canglan Country to find Princess Ye Xi and ask her to help me regain the memories of my past life."
"Zhao Cai, the Murong clan was exiled to the harsh cold lands by the Female Emperor of Canglan. Do you know that you have already killed the Female Emperor of Canglan and pardoned the Murong clan?
Do you know why the Murong clan is still trapped in the harsh cold lands and unable to leave?"
"Why?"
"Zhao Cai, the great array set up by the Female Emperor in Lan City to absorb life force is closely connected to the harsh cold lands.
She exiled the Murong clan to the harsh cold lands to restrain you. Unfortunately, her plans backfired.
The moment you entered Lan City, you directly killed her, rendering all her efforts useless.
Now that the Female Emperor of Canglan is dead, and the array in Lan City has been broken by Princess Ye Xi.
With the array in Lan City broken, the entrance to the harsh cold lands has also been closed. The Murong clan exiled to the harsh cold lands can't come out now.
Unless you can regain the memories of your past life and restore the position of the High Priest. Otherwise, the Murong clan will die in the harsh cold lands."
The words of the Wizard made Lin Zaozao furrow her brows sharply. She stared at the Wizard intently, asking seriously,
"Wizard, does Han Ye know about the situation in Lan City and the Murong clan?"
"He knows. Before you went to Lan City, Han Ye had already sent word to Murong Hai, asking him to lead the clan out of the harsh cold lands.
However, he sent away all his clan members but chose to stay there himself."
"Why? Why did he choose to stay there? Doesn't he know that if I can't regain my memories, he will be stuck in the harsh cold lands forever? Worse, he might even die there?"
Listening to Lin Zaozao's questioning, the Wizard hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Zhao Cai, the moment Murong Hai arrived in the harsh cold lands, he regained the memories of his past life.
He sent away his clan members because he didn't want them to die. And he insisted on staying in the harsh cold lands because he wanted to use your feelings for him to make you come back.
He is afraid that once you regain your memories, you will never return to this world again.
Murong Hai is risking his life, betting that you will come back to this world because of his soft heart."
The Wizard's words made Lin Zaozao feel uncomfortable in her throat. It was as if something was stuck in her throat.
She couldn't swallow it, nor could she spit it out.
Lin Zaozao, who had never been interested in the memories of her past life.
At this moment, she deeply wished she could know about her past life, what had happened to make so many people unable to let go of their obsession, all of them single-mindedly wanting her to regain her memories from her previous life.
"Zaozao..."
Lin Zaozao turned around to see Little Xibei, Ruo Qiu, and others standing beside her, though she didn't know when they had arrived.
With Gu Shan's support, she slowly stood up, her gaze blankly staring at the familiar faces before her.
Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness surged through her heart.
This feeling of powerlessness weighed her down, making her so tired, incredibly tired!
"Zaozao, I..."
"Little Xibei, please don't say anything. Let me calm down first. Right now, my mind is really chaotic, extremely chaotic!"
After speaking, Lin Zaozao let go of Gu Shan's hand and walked ahead alone.
Watching Lin Zaozao's indifferent figure, Gu Shan glanced at his hand that she had released.
He pursed his lips, then with a swift movement, he concealed himself in the shadows and secretly followed her.
