Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Black Princess 12: A Setback

Seeing Li Wei's presence some of them tried to get closer. However, they hope to someone they think can help them. It's just ... Li Wei wasn't sure if he could help anything here.

THE PLAQUE!

"Keep that man away from the Princess!" shouted the soldier guarding around Li Wei.

They violently struck at the people who had contracted the stone disease. As a result of the blow again the hit part was broken. They become rocks on the road. The people who initially surrounded the infected man started to drift away.

Fearful.

What if the stone disease was spread through touch?

However, this kind of action was so cruel in Li Wei's eyes. Every infected person approached, the soldiers would beat them.

"Stop hitting!" pinta Li Wei hard. He tried to move forward to prevent.

But Hua Yifeng's gaze became sharp. Li Wei did not dare to step foot forward. At the moment he doesn't know anything about what's going on.

"But ... They're in pain."

The part that was hit was scattered like a huge rock that was smashed. Then, it was clear that it could not return, and Li Wei saw people roaring in pain as his body part was cut off. The stone lying on the ground was also covered in blood, though it was no longer flesh.

Li Wei's tears fell in her eyes. Unfortunately, he could not close the nausea and fear of this strange disease. Especially when they have no choice and ignore humanity. What happened is really scary.

CRUST!

Li Wei took a few steps back when he saw someone who also contracted a stone disease. That person was a middle-aged woman. The woman was injured on her cheek, so that from her undried wound was overgrown with stones. Suddenly Li Wei thought that, could this disease be transmitted through open wounds?

If a person is injured, then the wound will be grown by a stone.

"Check out who's hurt," Li Wei ordered just like that.

He never thought that his orders would cause a new commotion. Those, who heard of course immediately checked. But the next problem is they check not to cope. Rather, stay away as if the injured will definitely experience the strange stone disease.

"Who's hurt?!!"

"Oh my goodness ... How could I be hurt? I may have been cursed by a god."

"Don't come any closer!!! Your wound will surely turn to stone."

A lot of commotion sounded in Li Wei's ears at this moment. It was so noisy that he himself did not know who was talking anymore.

"Hey ... Listen ..."

BUGH

Li Wei's words came to a halt when he saw the people around him beating up the injured people. Especially when the wound had just been overgrown by small stones. Everything cannot be stopped easily.

What the hell is going on here?

Li Wei's memory recalled the once-destroyed Stone Labyrinth. It does have rocks that are scattered there. Don't tell me that the stone was once a human body, and that it was also scattering its flesh that had become stone. Thinking about it made Li Wei unsure that she would be able to laugh again.

It was too scary to talk about again. If this is indeed the same, is this disaster really the punishment of Gods?

"ACH!!!" The screams sounded from a distance.

Hua Yifeng ran towards the direction of the voice. Seeing that Li Wei also went to check. The soldiers were no longer guarding Li Wei. They were busy examining their own bodies. Make sure if there are injuries or not.

When they see someone getting hurt, they are desperate. It's like their lives will no longer be of any use. But it's not just their perception, it's real. Every time a wound appears people will contract stone disease. And, ...

If they have wounds, then they will ... Cut it?

"Don't." Hua Yifeng who rarely shouted alone had to let out her voice to prevent

"Youngwaaaa .... Daddy's! Sick," a loud cry sounded from the child who had cut off his hand.

Hua Yifeng immediately carried the child from the hands of her own father. For fear that his son would suffer from stone disease as well, his father willingly cut off his son's hand. Maybe they think it's just a choice they can make.

It's a little funny. How were they afraid of getting hurt, but they cut off his hand to remove the wound?

Maybe if they think there is something in the wound that makes it stone.

SRAT!

By hardening his own feelings. Li Wei with trembling hands immediately tore off the tip of her own clothes. Even due to its strong pull, the bottom of her clothes had been torn to the point of displaying her knees. After that, Li Wei tied the left hand of the little boy, who was probably only 7-8 years old, to prevent bleeding.

Hua Yifeng somehow watched Li Wei intently. Watching the pale and trembling Li Wei.

"You ... Go back to the tent. It seems like this commotion will be long" Hua Yifeng said as she held the faint child in her hands.

With his hand cut off, this child started to bleed out. So Hua Yifeng was also not sure if this child could survive. Even so, Hua Yifeng needed to put this child in a place some distance away from this commotion.

GRIIIKKS!

From the wound of this child that was bandaged by Li Wei grew stones as big as frog eggs. The number continued to grow until it filled the child's arm. Inevitably Hua Yifeng put the child in a pile of boxes containing foodstuffs that were placed not far from the tent.

Although they had already seen this stone disease, but only this time they saw it up close.

"Stone growth cannot be stopped" said Hua Yifeng who actually pitched in despair.

A strange disease they don't know why there is. And they don't know how to stop it either. Even if they could stop him, it was definitely not as easy as kissing a cow. Even until now there is not much they can conclude about the stone disease

In the near future they should know how this disease is. However, no one can conclude this anytime soon.

CRATTS! KRITS!!!

"ACH!!!" cry Li Wei as the pain strikes his arm. It was because it turned out that a soldier near Li Wei was clawing at him.

Not because of purpose. More because the soldier felt pain due to his heavy arm. The man was apparently injured during a search earlier in the day. So that from his wound now become hardened stones. Then, fill his hands so that he can not lift his own two arms.

That was why he accidentally clawed at Li Wei. Because he tried to lift, and felt pain. He unknowingly scratched someone nearby.

However, the man's claw became extremely painful as his nails had also turned to stone. The nail became sharp, and created a deep long scratch. Blood flowed from Li Wei's arm, and the sleeves of his clothes were torn.

"Li Wei!" Hua Yifeng who had just laid down the corpse of the little boy was of course far away from Li Wei.

He could not prevent the flower-like little girl from getting hurt.

Especially ... Li Wei was injured, what if Li Wei became a stone as well?

Hua Yifeng's gaze changed like seeing a world coming to an end. The man ran over to Li Wei, and hit the soldier man who was also frightened. However, even though his hands were helping, the man still had his consciousness. He knows who he hurt.

"Please, Officer Hua! Save me! I don't want to be a stone" asked the soldier, who saw his wounds spread.

Li Wei whimpered in pain while holding her own arm. Don't know what to do. In the end, Li Wei sat on the ground, so her white clothes with pink ribbons were dirty. Not because of the pain, but rather because of his own fear.

Mother ... Pain ...

Who else could Li Wei call at this moment other than his own mother. His eyes looked at Hua Yifeng who was approaching towards him with an unreadable look. Not illegible. But more on Li Wei himself who was covered in tears.

Around it there was a lot of commotion and was badly damaged. They kill each other for fear of getting the same disease. But the disease continues to spread to anyone who is injured. The uninjured chose to flee for fear of being harmed.

This mess is terrible.

"Hua Office ... Please ..."

STAB!

Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise as Hua Yifeng's sword flashed. Not towards him, but towards the soldier who had already become half a stone. All that was left was the waist to the head that was still not a stone. And, Hua Yifeng threw the sword right at the poor man's head.

"Why did you kill him?" li Wei shouted in disbelief.

"Do you have any other way?" Instead of answering Hua Yifeng preferred to make Li Wei think.

As a result the sword pierced through the soldier's head from his forehead until it appeared to the back of his head. The man begged Hua to stop herself from becoming a stone. However, only death makes the strange disease stop.

"We return to the palace" Hua Yifeng said as she wrapped Li Wei's arm around a thick cloth.

Hua Yifeng usually used the cloth to tie the sword in his hand. So that his sword did not come off every time he needed his sword for a long time. He quickly wrapped the cloth around Li Wei's arm.

However Li Wei's injuries were rather deep so his blood still pierced through the cloth.

"Master Hua, what if I ..."

Hua Yifeng sighed and injured herself. This made Li Wei surprised. They could not be hurt, but Hua Yifeng injured her own hand.

THE CURRRR!

Hua Yifeng dripped his blood and seeped also on the cloth wrapped around him. It made Li Wei recall that Hua Yifeng was a member of the Bao clan. Blood is special and can frighten a wild beast. Even the myth says that his blood can also bargain for a mild poison.

The man took his luck by making his own blood a medicine. Although Li Wei was sure it would not be possible. Because this is some kind of curse that is already attached to the Li Kingdom.

"We've been cursed by the Prince!" the screams represented all their fears.

Hua Yifeng said softly. "At least you won't be a stone alone."

That was what Hua Yifeng said. What Hua Yifeng did was not to treat, but to calm Li Wei down.

Because, in fact, if Li Wei did contract the stone disease, then it would not take long his blood would become stone. However, this had already passed for quite a while and Hua Yifeng started to believe that Li Wei was okay. I don't know why Li Wei didn't get the same disease when the others. Even with just one scratch like a mosquito bite will become a stone.

Calling this a human deed would be very careless. It's just ... What people need to remember is that this is not the first time.

In the same Kingdom. About a hundred years ago, the entire City Center turned to stone. The city center which was once now called the Stone Labyrinth, although it was destroyed. So that the City Center moved to another region, and became the current City Center.

And, this happened again in this moment. After a hundred years later.

SRETT!

After which, Hua Yifeng helped Li Wei up. The two of them obviously couldn't cope with all of this, and were lucky among all the help came. There were Li Jun and Li Chen along with the troops they had brought.

The two men were not too late, but the outbreak also occurred in an area nearby to the affected part of the city. Such a disaster is not only spewing out the wrath of nature, but also spewing out an 'thing' that makes new diseases. Does that mean the 'thing' is in the sea? Hence after the sea raged, the 'thing' came out.

Or, because of an incident in the Stone Labyrinth, and the disease came to engulf the City Center (again).

I don't know.

***

When Li Wei was in Li Chen's hands, the second brother immediately reopened the cloth bandage in Li Wei's hands. The wound was no longer bleeding. And, what Li Chen examined was definitely not just a wound. The man fingered Li Wei's wounds just to make sure no stones grew there.

Li Wei grimaced. "Master Hua has already checked it. No stones grow there.

Li Chen sighed softly, and he turned to look at Li Jun who always hardened his face. Although they had a sense of wonder when they saw Li Wei was not overgrown with stones. It's not that they're not grateful that their sister's okay.

However, they are currently investigating the disease. For now, the way to prevent it is to stay away from people affected by stone disease if they have external wounds. However, Li Wei was seriously injured and the one who injured him was a stone disease. Li Wei was a different exception.

Also, Hua ... The man also injured his hand.

Does it depend on each other's bodies?

"But Li Chen, you've seen it not if there were no exceptions before. The people who were injured were always exposed to diseases," Li Jun denied with an angry face.

Li Wei did not know where Hua Yifeng had gone. It was possible that he was helping the soldiers to overcome the previous riots. There was anger on Li Jun's face, but Li Wei had no idea what made the man constantly angry.

I'm sure this man will get high blood if he rarely calms down.

"Did you drink potions?" asked Li Chen who understood about the herbs.

However, Li Wei shook his head. "Just ... Mister Hua, he dripped his blood onto my wound."

Is it true that the blood of the Bao clan is indeed so special that it can cure this strange disease?

Li Wei clearly did not know if everything would be very sequential later. Even Li Wei did not know if Li Chen and Li Jun's views changed. After all, everything is so messy.

In that silence, a man with his face covered. Typical of a Night Army. This guy obviously came not just came. This man was clearly assigned as the introduction to the news.

"Welfare accompanies the Prince and Princess of the Li Kingdom" the man said as he kneeled on the ground.

Li Jun stared intently at the man, "What about the advancing troops to fight the Xin Kingdom?" li Jun asked quickly.

"The troops were repulsed from the border. The Li Kingdom army had been less than half. The Xin Kingdom had surrounded, and the pass was forced to retreat," the man said quickly.

This is definitely not good news.

"What about the troops led by Zhang ... I mean Officer Zhang Yuwen and also Counselor Wang Zeming?" li Wei asked quickly.

"Officer Zhang was seriously injured, while Counselor Wang was with His Majesty at the border. The remaining troops reinforced the guard," explained the Army man of the Night.

He remembered that Zhang Yuwen had come down to the war this time. Although only alone, because usually Zhang Yuwen always served with Wei Wuxie. This was as if Wei Wuxie's accusation was also a problem for the Kingdom. Wei Wuxie could not enter the army.

Li Wei looked at Li Chen who was also sweating coldly. However, there were many incidents among other events. Overcoming disasters alone they are very desperate. Plus the attack from Xin Kingdom.

"The King of S*alan is really good at taking advantage of the situation," Li Jun was annoyed.

"But as the servant was on his way to report, I saw General Wei heading to the Border. It looks like General Wei is bringing his own troops," he reported.

This of course made Li Jun's anger even higher. However, Wei Wuxie's matter was not finished. Moreover, the one killed by Wei Wuxie was Prince Li Jun's concubine.

The man immediately ordered the soldiers working under him to prepare.

"We head to the Border and join forces led by His Majesty," Li Jun's orders to his troops.

Li Chen immediately stood up. "Sister, what are you doing? Father gave the order to strengthen the City Center! If big brother goes to Border Defense in Central City will be tenuous. Let alone General Wei ..."

"How can you let an assassin in the army? What if he's a spy? I just need to hit the damn troops to retreat, so they can't get into the City Center" Li Jun said with an angry face.

However he wanted to advance to the battlefield, instead of keeping watch at the City Center.

More than anything else was his pride as a great Prince. He did not want to be placed in a hidden place like guarding the City Center gate. He was confident that his achievements would be greater at the Border.

Li Wei clearly denied that, "Sister, Wei Wuxie is not such a person."

However, Li Jun ignored Li Wei's words. The man only prepared his own sword. Li Jun's decision was already strong, he let go of his guard in the City Center. It was extremely risky if Li Jun was attacked on the street.

Who knew if the guard at the Border was broken when Li Jun left!

"Dan ... Li Chen returned to the palace with Li Wei. Bring the s*alan Hua man there, too," Li Jun's final command.

Li Chen obviously always kept away from the debate. So the man just nodded. Li Wei also felt free to tell Li Jun. Because he knows his own brother's nature.

After which, Li Jun rushed over to get on his horse and spurred on his horse quickly. Fifty soldiers followed him on their own horses. Li Jun had his own army, and this was the core of his army.

These days will be lived without rest, as well as headaches.
