Chapter 287.2: Youre Still Alive

Lan Jia laughed again when he saw the expression on her face. He walked out from the darkness and stood in front of that lifting doorway. My good daughter-in-law, dont worry. Once this father obtains that object, this father will definitely leave you an intact corpse!

After he said this, Tang Doudou discovered that she was no longer able to move. She couldnt even open her mouth.

Behave and guard the door. In a bit, Ill let you see a miracle! Youll feel such honor! Lan Jia laughed madly as he walked inside.

The room in front was completely black. She didnt know what it contained to make Lan Jia so excited.

And, how did he know that she would come here? Or had he been waiting here the entire time?

Coincidence? It was definitely not a coincidence.

The only explanation would be that he had arranged all of this from the start!

He had sent Shen Moru to look for something, then pretended to storm off after being angered by Baili Yu.

He must have already predicted that Baili Yu would bring her to Calm Note Palace once he left, so he purposefully left a clear mark beneath that table so that they would easily notice the passage.

The following matters were even easier to explain. That huge bug was probably under his control and had purposefully chased her in this direction. However, how did he know that her thumb ring could open this stone door?

If he knew earlier, he could have just directly stolen the ring! Why waste so much unnecessary energy?

However, if things werent as she had guessed, then what was the truth?

Following that, the pitch-black room was suddenly lit up with eye-piercing light from a flame. It seemed like Lan Jia was the one that lit it.

Right afterwards, Lan Jia started bellowing, No! How is this possible!? How can it all be fake!? Thats not possible!

Sounds of things being smashed soon followed. Tang Doudous heart pounded from fear. She had no idea what he saw but she shrank back in fear. With how crazy Lan Jia was acting, what if he rushed out and killed her with a smack?

Its all fake! Fake!!

Hahaha!!!

I had searched all this time in vain! After causing so many people to die, your answer is that its all fake haha

Tang Doudou was scared, but she was also curious what exactly he was talking about.

No! I wont believe it! Lan Jias voice echoed in the stone room. He abruptly rushed out. His contorted handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Tang Doudou and she almost fell back from shock. It was only then that she realized she could speak again.

L-lan Jia you Before she even finished speaking, she had been dragged into the room by Lan Jia.

There werent a lot of things behind the stone door, but there were murals all over the walls. The bamboo scrolls that were originally arranged neatly on the bookshelves had been swept onto the floor by Lan Jia.

There were a lot of broken pottery on the ground as well, and there were strange bugs squirming near the broken pieces. The sight made people nauseous.

In the center of the stone room was an enormous cauldron. Lan Jia pulled Tang Douodu directly towards the cauldron.

With a cold laugh, he said, I refuse to believe that everything was fake. Youve already been dead for so many years, yet youre still tormenting me! Youre definitely saying its fake because you hate me! But I wont believe it! I wont believe your words! Youre lying to me! Lying!

People whose emotions went out of control were very scary. Tang Doudou had seen on TV the way people with mental disorders acted when they went crazy. Lan Jias current behavior didn't differ much from those people.

She didnt dare to speak in fear that if she accidentally provoked Lan Jia, he would attack her.

Humph, you wont let me try, but I will try! If you have the ability, just crawl out from the underworld to stop me! Lan Jias voice was very sinister. Tang Doudou couldnt tell what he was planning to do.

However, she soon found out, because Lan Jia took out a dagger and slashed it lightly across her wrist. Bright red blood immediately poured out like a spring.

Lan Jias eyes lit up with a terrible glow when he saw her blood. He dragged her towards the cauldron and started painting it with her blood. His glass-like eyes were now so dark and cold, it was terrifying.

Tang Doudou couldnt move so she couldnt stop him from using her blood to paint the cauldron.

As her blood flow gradually slowed, her brain started to feel heavily and her vision started becoming blurry. However, Lan Jia seemed to feel that there wasnt enough as he cut another wound and placed her on the cauldron so that her blood slowly flowed along the sunken ravines of the cauldron.

She seemed to see something flickering on the cauldron, but because she had lost too much blood, she couldnt see it clearly.

Just as she thought she was going to die from blood loss, she discovered that there was someone standing behind Lan Jia.

It was an old lady with a stooped back. After she showed up, she sighed and said, Ah Lan, why go to such lengths?

As soon as that person spoke, Tang Doudou saw Lan Jias body turn rigid as his eyes filled with emotion.

Shuyin, Shuyin, I knew you were still alive!

However, when he turned around and saw that it was an old woman behind him, his face immediately turned as pale as snow. Shu shuyin, why have you become like this?

Shuyin?

Tang Doudou was already very weak, but she was still conscious enough to be surprised. This old lady was Shuyin? Baili Yus mother? Her mother-in-law?

Cough cough The old lady was walking with great difficulty towards the cauldron and was coughing violently. Even like this, even after Ive become like this, you can still recognize me

No matter what you become, Id still recognize you! Shuyin! Lan Jia seemed very stirred up and he looked as if he wanted to hug Shuyin, but he also looked afraid and hesitant.

Back then, when you fell down the cliff, I hadnt been able to find you below the cliff, so I knew you were definitely still alive. However, I never thought that you were actually so good at hiding, to be able to hide for an entire twenty-seven years!

Shuyin laughed softly. I wasnt hiding. Ive always been on Cerulean Mountain. I never left.

Lan Jia was stunned. How is that possible?

Shuyin reached out and slowly stroked the large cauldron with her trembling aged hand melancholically. Ah Lan, lets stop. Dont insist on continuing anymore.

When she brought up this matter, Lan Jias face became contorted again. No! I cant give up! Shuyin, dont worry, once I find the cultivation method, Ill definitely help you restore your youth and beauty!
