Chapter 48: Losing both wife and soldiers

  "Hun Zong" was another new term that left Wang Chu perplexed, and he wondered if this Hun Zong had a close connection with the "Hun Zhong" mentioned by Lu Xiaoling, in other words, whether the Hun Zhong was a level within the Hun Zong.

  At this moment, a scene that made Wang Cang feel extremely surprised and delighted appeared in the mirror. It was seen that Tian Mi's appearance on the mirror was gradually restoring her youth.

  "Could it be that the old witch was injured?" Wang Cang thought to himself, his heart guessing after his initial joy, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

  If this woman were dead, wouldn't Tian Mi be freed? As he thought of this, Wang Cang suddenly harbored a murderous intention, and a sinister smile spread across his face as he slowly walked towards the woman.

  The sinister face of Wang Cang made the woman terrified, her old and thin cheeks twitching constantly, she sobbed: "You... what do you want to do?"

  "I think..." Wang Cang's smile grew even colder, his body moving like a swift wind as he suddenly appeared in front of the woman, tightly grasping her neck. As for why he, like the female ghost, liked to strangle people's necks, Wang Cang was also puzzled, and could only say that it was instinctual.

  The woman was pinched on the neck by the prince, and the blood rushed to her brain, instantly turning her face bright red with a painful expression.

  "Don't kill me! I'll let the girl in the mirror go, I promise!" The woman forced out this sentence that sounded like both a plea and a threat from her throat.

  Wang Chu heard the woman's words and his arm trembled involuntarily. He hesitated for a moment, knowing that he had to kill the woman in front of him to restore Tian Mi's youthful beauty, but he didn't have enough confidence to rescue Tian Mi from the mirror, so he secretly decided not to take risks unless absolutely necessary.

  "Alright, I won't kill you, but first you have to let her out of the mirror, how about that?" Wang Chu said.

  "Haha! You're very clever, but since I can live for 500 years, I'm naturally not stupid either. I think you've already guessed that only when I die can this girl regain her youth and beauty. If I let her out now, wouldn't I be dead for sure?" The woman laughed.

  The prince cursed in his heart: damn it, indeed 500 years of not living in vain, a clever trick. But the woman broke through with one sentence, hitting him right in the heart, originally not good at negotiating, now he was speechless.

  The woman seemed to have seen something, and thought to herself: "How about this! I've thought of a perfect solution, do you want to hear it?"

  The prince thought for a moment, anyway, he couldn't think of any good way now, so he might as well listen. He used a bit more force in his hand to warn the woman: "I'm warning you, don't play tricks on me!" Then he said: "Speak!"

  At this time, the woman couldn't say a word and was almost choked by Wang Cang. She used both hands to constantly pry at Wang Cang's fingers, only then did he react, involuntarily letting out a snicker, before loosening his grip on her neck.

  The woman took a deep breath, and after a moment, she said: "Look at me now, I'm all injured, I definitely can't run as fast as you. How about this, let me go first, and I'll carve the rescue method on that thickest tree over there." The woman pointed to a towering tree about 100 meters in front of the wooden house.

  The prince heard this and suddenly cursed in his heart: "Damn it, she still wants to trick me!" But thinking carefully, it's just 100 meters, as long as she is within her own line of sight, she can't escape her own palm. He nodded and agreed: "Good! Let's do it your way! If you dare to play tricks, be careful I'll kill you!"

  The woman walked out of the wooden door, tiptoed to the designated big tree, and fulfilled her promise. She carved words on the side of the tree, then suddenly turned to the back of the tree, blocking the prince's line of sight.

  After a while, the woman's figure was still not seen behind the tree. Wang suddenly realized that something was wrong and was shocked. In the blink of an eye, he ran to the bottom of the tree, but the woman was gone. On the tree were carved two words that made Wang's lungs explode: "Fool". Under the bark, there was a very narrow hole in the tree, from which the woman had escaped on time.

  "What if this hole leads to..." Wang Chu thought of this and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the wooden house.

  "Damn it! As expected, I can get through here!" Just as he had anticipated, the reflection of Tian Mi on the mirror was gone, and the door of the dresser was wide open, revealing a dark hole in front of Wang Chu.

  Wang Chu's mood at this moment, needless to say, must be extremely gloomy and regretful. Not only did he fall for that woman's trick, but he also lost his wife and suffered a defeat. He wanted to chase after her, but didn't know which direction to go in. Just as he was at a loss, a girl approached him.
