Yan Yan stomped her foot angrily. “How can she be so disgusting?! I was really frightened back there! I thought the magical beasts and earthquake were really coming! Ahhh! I’m so angry!”
Mrs Yan snorted. “There are all sorts of women in this world. Ning Chenxi, keep your eyes wide open and steer clear of such girls. Otherwise, you’ll be counting money for her when she sells you off! Sister, am I right?”
Mrs Ning, however, was frowning. Caressing her belly involuntarily with her right hand, she said quietly, “But... I think the young lady does have a point.”
“What?!” Everyone turned to look at Mrs Ning.
Mrs Ning pressed her hand to her chest. “Somehow, I’m awfully nervous tonight and I keep feeling that something big is going to happen... It’s giving me the jitters.”

“Sister —” Mrs Ning cut her off. “I think we should leave now.”
Everyone was now looking at Mrs Ning as if she had lost her mind. Mrs Yan shrieked, “Nonsense! How are we going to travel in the middle of the night when you’re this pregnant? What if you fall out of the carriage? Do you have a death wish?!”
However, Mrs Ning was more determined than ever. She rose to her feet and instructed Ning Chenxi, “Tell the others, we’re leaving in an hour.”
“Sister —”
“Sister, I’ve made up my mind. Please stop.” Mrs Yan knew that despite Mrs Ning’s harmless appearance, her younger sister would stick to it when she had made up her mind. No one would be able to make her decide otherwise.
At that thought, Mrs Yan couldn’t help but begin to hate Feng Wu.
“Brother, how about us?” Somehow, Feng Liu suddenly felt rather restless, especially when Mrs Yan and the others packed up to leave.
Feng Yiran darted Feng Liu a look. “What do you think?”
Feng Liu snorted. “Will things happen just because Feng Wu said so? She’s just an ordinary human being. I don’t care what others think, but I’m not buying it. I’ll die here in this Sumeru Temple before I leave —”
All of a sudden!
Rumble!
An ear-splitting sound exploded above Sumeru Temple!
The entire temple shook violently, as if a giant hand had grabbed hold and was shaking it!

The walls crumbled and began to crack.
It wasn’t just the walls. The earth began to crack as well!
The shakes stopped as quickly as they’d come, but it was enough to frighten everyone.
Both Mrs Yan and Yan Yan blanched and were bewildered.
Despite being pregnant, Mrs Ning was the most level-headed person in the room. She said succinctly, “Stop packing. Leave all the heavy load behind. We’re leaving now!”
“But... will it be safer outside?” Yan Yan objected.
Mrs Ning said, “This road will get us to Wanping Town, where the terrain is open and there are soldiers stationed there. We’ll be much safer there than in the mountains. This Sumeru Temple... will probably be gone by the end of the night. Let’s go!”
Mrs Ning got into a carriage immediately after that and told the driver to set out.
Mrs Yan might look all stern and solemn, but she was much less level-headed in such a situation. She was already panicking by now, and taking Yan Yan with her, they joined Mrs Ning in her carriage.
