Chapter 1108: The Excited Yan Xiaosi!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was not much blood on her fingertip, only a small bead of blood. Even so, it was enough for Yu Wan to be puzzled.
Was it really not her imagination? Did she bleed from being bitten by a bead?
Actually, Yu Wan was not too sure if she was bitten or not. At that time, the slight pain had already faded. It was just like when a person touched something extremely hot, their first feeling might not be scalding, but ice. The human body’s first sense sometimes had an error.
She would never believe that a bead could bite, so perhaps she had touched something uneven?
Yu Wan held the bead in her hand and touched it over and over. No, it was very smooth. Or perhaps… There was a Gu worm hidden inside? No, she had always been wearing it. If there was really a Gu, she and Little Gu would have sensed it long ago.
Yu Wan looked at the Thousand Gu King. “Did you bite me?”
The Thousand Gu King’s feet exploded! It wasn’t taking the blame!
When Little Gu saw that the bead had injured Yu Wan, it angrily carried the bead over and threw it to the ground! Then, it kicked the bead left and right, causing it to roll around the room.
Yes, Yu Wan felt that it was rolling around because of Little Gu. However, after observing for a while, she didn’t think so. This was because there were several times when Little Gu’s feet did not hit the bead, but the bead was still rolling.
It was rolling because it was chased away, right? Other than biting people, could it get lost by itself?
Damn!
Little Gu launched a storm kick at the bead, sending it flying. The bead hit the wall with a whoosh and bounced back. However, this time, it did not bounce back to Little Gu, but into Yu Wan’s hand.
Yu Wan had just taken a handkerchief and was about to wipe the drop of blood on her fingertip when the bead flew over and brushed past her fingertip, wiping the drop of blood away.
Yu Wan:
However, at this moment, she seemed to have sensed something. She picked up the bead that had fallen onto the bed and saw the originally ordinary bead actually light up slightly.
Yu Wan had only seen the Saintess Stone that could light up. Could it be that this fellow looked like a bead but was actually a Saintess Stone? She sank her energy into her dantian (as she thought) and suddenly released a powerful holy aura (as she thought). “Blue!” The bead did not change color.
“Green!”
The bead still did not change its color.
That couldn’t be. As the strongest saintess in the Nether Capital, her control of the Saintess Stone had long reached the point of perfection. She could even make out the golden color that had never been recorded in books. It didn’t make sense that only the bead in front of her didn’t react.
“It’s not the Saintess Stone? Then why are you glowing?”
The bead emitted a clear light and was not as bright as the Night-Luminescent Pearl. Yu Wan did not think that it was actually a Night-Luminescent Pearl. The Night-Luminescent Pearl could always emit light, and this had suddenly lit up, just after… wiping her blood?
Could it be that this was a… luminous pearl that would be lit with blood?
Then, something even more unbelievable happened. Just as this bead shone, the baby in Yu Wan’s stomach moved. She could almost feel the baby’s excitement.
“You like this bead?” Yu Wan looked down at her bulging stomach and asked.
No, she had been wearing this bead for a year, but she did not see it excited. Could it be that it had to shine?
After a while, the bead’s light disappeared. Her stomach stopped moving. For some reason, Yu Wan felt that the baby was a little depressed.
Yu Wan shook the bead. “Light up!”
The bead did not light up.
Yu Wan threw the bead to Little Gu. “Kick it!”
There was no guarantee that it would light up because of Little Gu.
Little Gu was very happy. It took the bead and kicked it hard!
The bead just didn’t light up!
“Could it be that I really have to use blood?” Yu Wan looked at her healed fingertip. One drop of blood had only made it light up for a short while. How much blood would she have to waste to keep it light up?
She had not been prodigal to this extent. After thinking for a while, she called Ping’er in.
On the other side, in the Crown Prince Manor, the cloaked man had already returned to his room in the Full Moon Pavilion. Lie Feng’s death still had some impact on him, but it was not too big. He still had people he could use, but not all of them followed him into the Crown Prince Manor.
Gu Lady knocked on the door. “Sir.”
“Come in,” the cloaked man said.
Gu Lady walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
This was the cloaked man’s habit of nourishing his health. He would drink a bowl of ginseng soup every day. In the past, this was Lie Feng’s duty. Now that Lie Feng was no longer around, Gu Lady spontaneously took over the job.
The cloaked man did not say anything. He picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip.
Gu Lady asked, “Sir, is the Crown Princess Consort dead?”
The cloaked man said, “No, she doesn’t remember what happened yesterday. Let her go for now.”
Why didn’t she remember what happened yesterday? Although Gu Lady was puzzled, she didn’t suspect anything when she saw the cloaked man’s confident expression.
“Have you dealt with Lie Feng’s corpse?” The cloaked man asked.
“Yes,” Gu Lady said.
The cloaked man indeed thought highly of Lie Feng, but the already dead Lie Feng had no value. He would not waste much effort on him. “In the future, you will do the things that Lie Feng did.”
Gu Lady was overjoyed!
She had always hoped to be able to obtain an official position beside her lord. Even if she did not have a position, it was still her honor to be valued by her lord. After all, her lord’s status in the Sacred Clan was outstanding. With his protection, her life in the clan would be much better in the future.
She looked at the cloaked man and asked, “Sir, what should we do next? Should we continue to search for the thief?”
The cloaked man finished the ginseng soup in his bowl and said, “Although the thief’s whereabouts are important, the more important thing is the Holy Soul Pearl. We have to think of a way to get it back.”
The Holy Soul Pearl was too important to the Sacred Clan. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a holy artifact of the Sacred Clan. Unlike the holy artifact of Nanzhao, the holy artifact of Nanzhao was only a symbol of faith and power. Whether it was in Nanzhao or not did not affect anything in
Nanzhao. It was fine as long as the commoners believed that it was still there.
Once the Holy Soul Pearl left the Sacred Clan, everyone’s martial arts improvement would slow down. No matter how strong the experts of the older generation were, they would still die one day. The young disciples were the true future of the Sacred Clan.
For the rise and fall of the Sacred Clan, they had to snatch the Holy Soul Pearl back!
However, the cloaked man had a question. “You said… that thief became fat?” “Yes!” Gu Lady nodded.
In fact, the Holy Soul Pearl had been stolen nearly twenty years ago. Gu Lady had yet to be born at that time and had never seen the thief herself. However, there were many portraits of the thief posted in the clan. There were large portraits, busts, and full-body portraits. This made it so that the Sacred Clan might not know what the king of the clan looked like, but they definitely knew what the thief looked like. It was simply a hit for the clan!
“That shouldn’t be…” The cloaked man murmured.
The Holy Soul Pearl was the supreme treasure of the Sacred Clan. There was a price to pay for using the treasure. It had to be nourished by the blood of an expert to ensure its effect. Otherwise, it was no different from an ordinary bead.
In the cloaked man’s opinion, since that person had stolen the Holy Soul Pearl, she wanted to take it back and use it. Why did she steal it if she didn’t use it? Did she think it looked good?
She can’t be so wasteful, right? Since she wanted to use it, she had to let out the blood of the heart. It was a miracle that she didn’t die after bleeding her heart for so many years. Why did she gain weight?
Could it be that she killed someone and fed it with someone else’s heart blood?
No, the Holy Soul Pearl was very picky. It did not care about the blood in the hearts of ordinary people. Only experts who had reached a certain heaven-defying realm were qualified to sacrifice themselves to it.
Were there many experts of that level? Even the Sacred Clan could not find many, let alone the Great Zhou who did not have an ancient inheritance.
While he was deep in thought, the cloaked man suddenly felt a familiar aura. This feeling was very strong and strange. It was as if a breeze had brushed past and flames had rolled over. The blood in his body boiled.
His eyes lit up. “Holy Soul Pearl!”
Gu Lady also felt her blood boil. When she was born, the Holy Soul Pearl was no longer in the clan. This was the first time she had such a reaction.
Was this the power of the Holy Soul Pearl?
The cloaked man said excitedly, “Someone is sacrificing the Holy Soul Pearl! That demoness… It’s that demoness sacrificing the Holy Soul Pearl!”
“Is this okay too?” Pinger asked.
Yu Wan looked at the bowl of blood she handed over and hummed. “It should be fine. Leave it here first. I’ll use it after I’m done with this bowl.”
Ping’er placed the bowl on the table. There was a bowl of chicken blood and a glowing bead in front of Yu Wan. Every time the bead stopped shining, Yu Wan would dip her chopsticks in a drop of chicken blood and feed it.
He was not afraid of feeding it with all the chicken blood. After all, she still had duck blood, goose blood, and fish blood. Even if these were all gone, there was still pig blood, right?
There was plenty of blood to feed it.. It will be full!
