Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1669: Chapter 1669: Unspeakable Misery

“No, no.”

She shook her head. She hadn’t gone to An Jiuyue’s side anyway, so even if they were angry, what did it have to do with her?

“It’s still better to restrain oneself a bit. After we return to the sect, we can settle accounts with them.”

She made up her mind in secret that she wouldn’t trouble An Jiuyue in the coming days. Everything would be planned after they returned to the Xiang Dynasty. Otherwise, she really might be left behind in the Zhedu Sea Area.

All day long, the white smoke continued to shroud Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff.

Everyone watched the white smoke on the mountain cliff and also kept an eye on the demonic beasts thrown against it time after time. As dusk approached and the beasts hurled onto the cliff fell straight down without any snakes coming out to devour their carcasses anymore.

“Is this… are they all fed?”

Zhan Beiye also found it hard to believe. Could such a small number of demonic beasts really satiate so many poisonous snakes? Just thinking about it seemed impossible.

And yet, the snakes did not come out again, as if they had indeed been fed to their fill.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Qian Jiyun asked him.

“Impossible.”

Zhan Beiye nodded instinctively then glanced at the two empty porcelain bottles.

“So, what is this poisonous powder?” he asked.

The two of them who were closest to the smoke hadn’t been poisoned; there wasn’t a single abnormal reaction in their bodies. How could it be possible to kill so many snakes with it? It also seemed quite improbable.

“Cartilage Powder,” Qian Jiyun said.

“Hmm?”

Zhan Beiye raised an eyebrow and glanced down at his own body.

His cartilage certainly hadn’t been poisoned. If the medicine didn’t work, could it be… As doubts crept into his mind, he looked up at Qian Jiyun, only to hear Qian Jiyun add another sentence.

“It only targets snakes,” he said.

“So it is.”

Zhan Beiye sighed softly.

He should have thought of it earlier. How could An Jiuyue refine medicinal powder for no reason? She must have had a need for it before she decided to refine it.

“What about now? Should we send someone up to gather the herbs?” he asked.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiyun shook his head.

“Have someone bring the remaining firewood over, along with that water.”

Zhan Beiye’s eyebrows rose again. It turned out they needed those things after all. What use could they have, he still didn’t quite understand. But at this moment, naturally, whatever Qian Jiyun said was law.

He immediately turned around to find Leader Sutang.

Leader Sutang, upon receiving the orders, commanded the guards who had been tired all day to bring over the firewood. They started by bringing half and piled it up around Jade Cloud Mountain.

The other half was drenched with water that had been mixed with another kind of medicinal powder refined by An Jiuyue.

A raging fire ignited once more, and this time the smoke was denser than before. Although not enough to make people cough, the people surrounding it felt chills so bone-deep they seemed to pierce their very bones, despite being under the fierce blaze.

“Keep gathering firewood. We can’t stop the fire tonight. Half the firewood should be dry, and the other half should be soaked in this water before being thrown in,” Qian Jiyun instructed the guards from a distance.

Upon hearing this, the guards all showed expressions of suffering beyond words.

They had been gathering firewood all day, and dinner had been just a brief snack. They felt very hungry, but they couldn’t complain. In front of Leader Sutang, they didn’t dare.

Moreover, the pressure exuding from Qian Jiyun was truly formidable. They feared that any complaint might get them killed.
