What price?
After Chu Yi asked this question, he clearly felt the black-robed man in front of him smile.
Although he had covered his face with a huge hat, Chu Yi could feel that this person was smiling strangely. A chill suddenly crawled up his heart.
The price is to capture the soul of the direct descendant of the Feng family and make it the flame of life, igniting Emperor Xia Yuans life.
What do you mean? Chu Yi frowned. I dont understand a word you say.
The black-robed man stood up. Do you know why no one else has discovered the ancient tomb of Longqi Mountain for thousands of years, but the Chu family and the Feng family are related to him?
Its not a coincidence? Hearing the black-robed mans tone, Chu Yi could tell that something was wrong. Could there be other secrets?
Back then, when the Great Xia Dynasty was destroyed, all the history of civilization was erased. However, what was erased was memories, but it doesnt mean that the bloodline was erased.
Bloodline? Us? Chu Yis frown deepened. You mean were the descendants of that dynasty?
Its been so many years, and the bloodlines have long been mixed. However, the deeper the bloodline connection, the easier it is to guide each other. That young lady of the Feng family has a rare pure bloodline. Dont you still have her corpse? If you want to revive Emperor Xia Yuan, use the lives of the Feng family.
Chu Yis face darkened and he did not speak. The black-robed man sized him up for a while. Tsk, everyone says that the young master of the Chu family is cold and heartless. From the looks of it today, it doesnt seem to match the rumors, right? Young Master Chu is
Nonsense! Chu Yi seemed to have been instantly poked at something that could not be touched. Isnt it just the lives of the Feng family? How many do you want? Ill get someone to prepare it immediately.
Hahaha. The black-robed man looked up at the sky and laughed. Young Master Chu, youre so straightforward. Then I want ten direct descendants of the Feng family, preferably under the age of 15. In addition to Feng Wuyou, Ill revive the person in the secret pa.s.sage.
Why should I believe you? Chu Yi looked at the black-robed man with suspicion in his eyes. What you said cant be explained by science at all.
The black-robed man stood up. You can choose not to believe me. Ill wait for you at the usual place in three days.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed man left the room.
Looking at the empty seat in front of him, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had once sent people to investigate the background of this black-robed person, but they found nothing.
He had no family or friends, no background, and it was as if he had no future. He was like a person who wandered outside this world, a person without a source.
Just as Chu Yi was deep in thought, Su Yao walked in with a cup of tea. Young Master, have a sip of tea.
Ever since she was injured last time, Chu Yi had stopped caring about Su Yaos clothes and did not force her to wear a red dress.
Now, Su Yao was wearing a light-colored floral dress. She was refres.h.i.+ng and refined, and her eyes were moving.
Chu Yi wanted to try one last time. He pulled Su Yaos hand. Follow me somewhere.
What? Su Yaos eyes widened slightly.
Come here
With that, Chu Yi pulled Su Yao to the bedroom next door.
Su Yao struggled for a while, but Chu Yi held her hand tightly. Su Yao compromised and followed Chu Yi into the bedroom.
Chu Yi had not slept in his bedroom for a long time. Now, he was resting in Su Yaos room.
Su Yao had never been to Chu Yis bedroom before. This was the first time.
This bedroom was quite big and empty. When she walked in, there was a cold aura everywhere that made ones heart tingle.
Seeing the huge ice coffin in the middle of the bedroom, Su Yaos pupils instantly dilated.
Sensing Su Yaos instantly stiff body, Chu Yi turned around. Whats wrong?
Su Yao pointed at the ice coffin. What is this?
Chu Yi smiled at Su Yao. My ex-wife, Feng Wuyou. Do you know her?
Looking at Chu Yis smiling face, Su Yao felt a chill run down her spine. She forced a smile. Ive heard of her, but I dont know her. Shes your ex-wife. How would I know her?
When Su Yao spoke, Chu Yi had been observing her expression.
Why did you bring me here?
Looking at Feng Wuyou lying in the ice coffin, her facial features and expression seemed to be alive. Su Yao subconsciously trembled. Im afraid. I want to leave.
Dont be afraid. Chu Yi pulled Su Yao into his arms and kissed her ear affectionately. You dont have to be afraid anymore.
Su Yao looked up, her almond-shaped eyes filled with just the right amount of panic and curiosity. What do you mean?
Chu Yi smiled. Shes about to be eliminated. Ill get someone to cremate her. After she dies, how about you move into my room and sleep?
Su Yao felt a cold sweat on her back. She looked at Chu Yi in horror. Young Master
Looking at Su Yaos frightened expression, Chu Yi smiled and reached out to touch Su Yaos hair. I was just joking. You dont have to take it seriously. Youre my baby. How can I bear to let you rest in a place like this where a woman has been?
Hearing Chu Yis words, Su Yaos pupils constricted. Young Master, you really know how to joke.
Alright, lets go out. Chu Yi held Su Yaos arm, lowered his head, and kissed her on the cheek.
Mm. Su Yao grabbed Chu Yis arm and followed him out.
When she reached the door, Su Yao suddenly turned around and looked at the ice coffin in the bedroom.
Looking at the figure lying in the ice coffin, Su Yao pursed her lips.
Chu Yi turned his head slightly to look at Su Yao and narrowed his eyes.
After a few rounds of autumn rain, the weather became even colder. The light rain fell on the petals, and the water droplets on the petals trembled and fell, scattering in the vegetation.
In the manor, An Rao was acting as Xiu Yis new model, constantly trying out Xia Wanyuans new autumn clothes.
Putting on a loose white fur coat, An Rao reached out to fiddle with the embroidery on the clothes. Yuan Yuan, why are you so good at drawing? What is this? Its so beautiful.
Xia Wanyuan looked up. This is for you.
Really? An Rao leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuans arm. I know youre the best. Try it too. Its so beautiful.
Xia Wanyuan was about to reject her when she suddenly remembered that she had already unloaded. Her figure had returned to its original state and she did not have to worry about the child anymore.
Xia Wanyuan went forward to change two pieces. An Rao supported her chin and looked at them for a long time. A malicious smile suddenly appeared on her face. Yuan Yuan, your figure seems to have improved.
Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. She followed An Raos gaze and looked down, looking a little embarra.s.sed.
Tsk tsk. An Rao circled Xia Wanyuan twice. We both gave birth, but why did you become so good-looking after giving birth? Im no different from before.
No, theres no difference. Xia Wanyuan put on her coat and covered An Raos vision.
