Chapter 113 The aftermath
Yue Ziyu was standing next to Song Yanran. When he saw his mother's face directly, an inexplicable chill suddenly filled his whole body.
The seventh day is the time when the soul travels far away and the body returns to the grave, but Song's eyelids were strangely opened.
The pair of eyes on her face no longer had the warm luster of the past, but were replaced by a deep, terrifying blackness, like an abyss, swallowing up the faint light around it, revealing a chill that did not belong to the human world.
Song looked at Song Yanran, her neck slowly shaking from side to side, and her head also shaking from side to side.
Then she moved stiffly towards Song Yanran.
Her movements were mechanical and stiff, her joints made teeth-grinding "clicking" sounds, and every step forward seemed to challenge the boundary between life and death.
Song's facial expression was stiff, and the corners of his mouth drooped unconsciously, with an unreasonably weird and terrifying look.
The saliva dripped down his chin and fell to the ground, like a whisper from another world.
An unusual stench also spread.
Although the secret guards were well-informed, some of them still couldn't help retching.
Song Yanran saw Song coming towards her, and then she screamed again:
"Don't come over here, don't come over here!!"
She looked around in panic, then pounced on Yue Zihuan and desperately pulled him in front of her:
"Second Young Master, please say something. Your aunt will definitely remember you. Please say something!"
She could say anything, as long as Song stopped staring at her!
When my aunt returned to the spirit world on the seventh day, the person she couldn’t let go of must be her son!
Yue Ran ordered coldly:
"Light the fire and shoot the arrows!"
The secret guards held their breath, lit the arrows in their bows and arrows with kerosene, and then aimed at the Song family. Dozens of kerosene arrows flew straight towards them.
Yue Ziyu's pupils trembled slightly. He wanted to shout to stop, but his mother's strange eyes had already turned to stare at his face. Those eyes seemed to come from the depths of hell. They were completely different from the mother in his memory.
She stared at her son with lifeless eyes. There was no trace of the former warmth in her gaze, only endless emptiness and chaos.
A heat wave hit, and this time, the kerosene arrows hit Song's clothes, and then shattered them again.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and felt relieved.
"Yuanbao, is its energy weakening?"
Yuanbao was still whispering in her mind like a thief:
"Yes, it must have eaten someone just now, but the energy has almost decayed after withstanding two waves of attacks."
"But it seems that it intends to eat those two young people. They have the same blood as the parasite, which can quickly replenish energy."
Upon hearing this, Yue Ran raised his head abruptly and shouted:
"Archers, listen up! Keep lighting the fire and shooting arrows!"
"Take Yue Ziyu and Song Yan and retreat!!"
Before he finished speaking, Yue Ran rushed towards Song with a sword in hand.
The two secret guards behind Yue Ziyu immediately grabbed Yue Ziyu and Song Yanran and quickly retreated.
Mother Zhao was left aside.
The lit arrows shot towards Song one after another, and they shattered the moment they touched her.
This time, Song's clothes were torn and many parts were burning.
Mother Zhao sat on the ground watching this scene, tears on her face not yet dried, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
She struggled to get up, rushed to Song and grabbed her sleeve:
"Now that you are back, Princess, I know you must be worried about the Second Young Master!"
"Princess, do you still remember me? I'm Zhao... Ugh!!!"
The skinny and cold hands silently grabbed Mother Zhao's neck.
Song grabbed Mother Zhao's neck and lifted her up with just one hand.
Mother Zhao tried desperately to pry Song's hands apart with both hands and kicked with her feet.
Song tilted her head back, her dark eyes curiously looking at Mother Zhao, and then her mouth split to the sides, all the way to her ears.
Next she bit Mother Zhao's face.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Song Yanran was so frightened that she kept screaming.
Yue Ziyu was stopped by the secret guards behind him, but he still saw the scene of his mother biting Mother Zhao.
The rain of arrows paused.
Yue Ran came in front of Song with a long sword in hand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he thrust the long sword forward.
The sword easily pierced Song's chest.
But Song seemed to be unaware of anything and was still chewing on Mother Zhao's head and flesh.
Yuanbao was jumping up and down in her mind:
"Chop off the head! Cut off the head!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Ran drew out his sword, not caring about the black blood stains on the sword. He changed his stabbing move into a slash, and the sword cut across Song's neck.
With a plop, Song's head fell to the ground, and with her scattered long hair, she rolled down a few steps and landed in front of Yue Ziyu and Song Yanran.
Song Yanran's screaming stopped abruptly as if someone was strangled by the neck, and then she collapsed on the secret guard.
Yue Ziyu looked down at his mother's head, his mind going blank.
The most horrifying thing was that Song’s split mouth was still slowly chewing the minced meat in his mouth.
Song's headless body stood straight there, making everyone feel creepy.
Yue Ran thrust the sword covered in black blood hard, piercing Song's eye socket and nailing her head to the ground.
Song's chewing mouth finally stopped moving and remained half open, so half of Zhao's mother's ear could be seen from the outside.
Yue Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't help but bend over and vomit desperately.
Yue Ran glanced at Yue Ziyu and raised his chin. The secret guards hurriedly helped Yue Ziyu back.
"Bring me plenty of firewood and burn the body to ashes immediately!"
Yue Ran ordered loudly.
Yue Ziyu watched as firewood and kerosene were piled on Song's body, and then it was set on fire.
He knelt down far away, kowtowed heavily in front of his mother's body, choking with sobs.
I never expected that my mother's final fate would be to die without an intact body.
Song's body twitched in the flames, and her head rolled on the ground a few times before turning into a ball of black mist.
"Back off, everyone back off!!!"
Yue Ran ordered everyone to retreat, staring with wide eyes at the black mist rushing left and right in the flames, and finally turning into countless burning sparks, floating to the ground without any movement.
"Okay, it's okay this time."
Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief. If it had not had no shape, he would have collapsed to the ground at this moment.
The secret guards surrounding the outer circle now made way for each other.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Qin pushed Yue Yuan over.
"Ranran, Song..." Yue Yuan looked serious, but when he saw Yue Ziyu kneeling on the ground for a long time, he didn't say anything else.
He let out a long sigh.
At this time, a guard from the palace entered the mourning hall, and then ran out with a changed expression:
"Your Highness, Princess! Uncle Song was eaten to the point where only half of his skeleton was left..."
Behind him, Zhang's heart-wrenching cry came:
"Oh my God, what bad thing has happened to our family? How could such a weird thing happen in this world? The brother was keeping vigil for his sister and was eaten by her corpse......"
Yue Yuan and Yue Ran looked at each other. They didn't expect that Zhang was still alive.
When Yue Ziyu heard Zhang's crying, his face turned even paler.
What happened to his mother's body?
