Mu Yao’s mind was in a mess. She couldn’t predict how many things she would encounter on her way to revenge. And now, he had already encountered two weaknesses right after leaving the cave.

Mu Yao had already given up her first weakness. As for this second weakness…

Suddenly, Mu Yao felt something soft wrap around her legs.

She broke out in a cold sweat as she slowly lowered her head. There were two cute little things wrapped around her legs, one on each side.

Two pairs of large eyes blinked and two small mouths grinned in unison. Even the little girl had grown out her front teeth.

“Mommy.”

“Mommy!”

How could Mu Yao bear to part with them just like this? They were so adorable! Besides, she had given birth to them after struggling in agony for almost two hours! They were her flesh and blood, and her children with Xiaohuo…

Their children even looked identical to her and Xiaohuo!

She thought to herself, ‘Mu Yao, you have to be more ruthless. It doesn’t matter if you’re seeking revenge or hiding from your enemies. Having two children will be a burden and a weakness!’

The next second, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Mu Yao had sworn to be a different person. If she wanted to become her enemy’s enemy, she could not afford to leave any obstacles or weaknesses behind!

She then squatted down and forcefully pulled the two children away. Instantly, she closed her eyes and rushed toward the exit!

She couldn’t bear to look at them. She knew that she would definitely be soft-hearted if she were to do so.

‘It doesn’t matter, Mu Yao. Xiaohuo will definitely be able to find them! They will be fine as long as he finds them!’

…

There was a dilapidated villa ten miles outside from the forest.

By now, the sun had already set and it was completely dark. Mu Yao hadn’t eaten or drunk for more than twenty hours and was utterly exhausted,

She had been planning on going to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence first. However, she realized that the forest was more remote than she had expected. Not only that, but the roads were also torturous.

It hadn’t been easy for her to get out of the forest! Thankfully, she had not encountered any demons, monsters, or even humans chasing after her on the way out. Even Mu Yao herself was a little surprised by that.

Finally, just as she was about to collapse, Mu Yao spotted a village she could temporarily stay in. Although the sun had just set not too long ago, the lights of every household in this village were already extinguished. That was strange!

Looking into the distance, Mu Yao found not a single soul on the road toward the village—not even a stray cat.

Panting, Mu Yao carefully entered the village. On both sides of the road stood houses built with wooden stakes and straw.

The strange thing was that there were traces of people living along the street where Mu Yao was walking.

Holding her arm, Mu Yao struggled to reach for a sweet potato. It was still a little hot.

‘If there were people on the streets not long ago, then there must be people in this village.

But why is there no light in the houses?’
