Chapter 73: Shi Liyuan, You're Here

to me in a roundabout way. 。If I don't speak at least two sentences, it'll seem like I look down on you all. 。All the officials are well-respected and distinguished. It wouldn't be proper for me to s...Xiao shi panicked, "What nonsense are you talking about Aren't we fine already We must give birth to a boy so he can accomplish great things in the future." 。"How can you be so sure he'll give birth to a boy" Yè Hóngzhuang was both angry and anxious. "Mother, haven't you seen it these past few days Fúyōu is only trying to curry favor with Yè Wēn yán. Empress Lǐ wants to treat the Sixth Prince's injuries, they don't care about me at all!" "His injuries... 。“Xiao gently held her daughter’s hand, “I’ve heard, his injury can’t be healed, it's completely shattered, unless it grows back.” 。So no matter how much they fawned over him, Ye Wenyan wasn't a god. 。Even if it's useless, I might not be able to give birth to a son. 。“Ye Hongzhuang looked extremely despondent, “I’ve been experiencing severe morning sickness these past few days and I’m increasingly convinced that the baby in my womb is a girl.” 。"

Be not afraid" 。"Xiao's voice dropped even lower, "Don't worry, even if she's a girl, I'll make her into a boy." 。” In the hall, everyone who needed to leave had already left. The moon was bright enough for people to see the beautiful night view. Someone went to find a doctor for Ye Minglang. Yetang didn't object this time. She just knelt by the fire, silently burning the remaining paper offerings. 。Ye Chu Lian wanted to stay and help her burn, but she shook her head. She wouldn't let Ye Chu Lian stay, not even letting Ji Ma Ma and Zhuai Er return to their own courtyards. 。At this moment, only she remained in the Mingtang Hall. The servants of the manor discreetly kept their distance, leaving only a single lamp hanging outside the hall to illuminate her. 。She burned very slowly, page by page. If someone could have gotten around to the front and seen her face now, they would have found that Night Sister Four, who had just been decisively punishing the fruits, was now in tears. 。Today is the seventh day after the original owner's death, it is also her own seventh day, and even more so, the seventh day for everyone in the Xuanmai Ye family from their past life. 。She could hold a seventh-day memorial service for the original host here, but she couldn't openly worship her relatives from her past life. 。That massacre, the Ye family was slaughtered. Blood flowed like a river that night. Men, women, the elderly, and children – none were spared. The other side killed them all, leaving not a single survivor. 。So many people! They all died. 。She sniffed her nose and threw another paper money into the brazier. 。"I don't know if I can burn paper in this time and space, will you be able to receive it" 。But there's no way, I can't be too obvious, I can't make people too suspicious of my identity. I have to live here, I have to live out my life as Ye Si Jie. 。Grandfather, why did they want to destroy the Ye family Why did they have to purge the Five Pulses We clearly kept our distance and didn't participate in anything. Why are they still unwilling to let our families go Grandfather, how are you all doing over there Is there a path to the Yellow Springs Is there an underworld for us to reside in Where do people go after they die" She went to get some paper money again, but her hand came up empty. 。"Without " 。“She was despondent, “What else can I do Besides missing you, what else can I do here for you” The girl covered her face with her hands and wept silently. 。She didn't know how long she had been crying, but suddenly a hand gently rested on her back. 。She was startled, but didn't move. She didn't even turn her head, just took her hand away from her face and asked in a voice, "Shili Yuan" "En" 。"His slender shoulders were held tight, and he asked, “Why are you crying” She leaned back, right into his embrace, "I miss my grandfather." 。“Night Zhanwei” he paused, “I actually… I actually always thought you were a soul-taking.” 。"

"Possession" she smiled wryly, "So that's how you see me" 。> 。At best, I'm a soulless husk. The real Night Fourth Sister died on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. She died instantly, her heart pierced through with that one blow. 。"Possession, that's a soul-returning technique passed down in the cultivation world. It's a cruel method used by high-level cultivators to snatch the lives and bodies of low-level cultivators." 。Sometimes it's for resurrection, sometimes it's just because they are attracted to the unique spiritual root of a person's body. 。In short, one person must die in a possession, and the other will become the true owner of that body. 。But in fact, the act of "taking possession," wasn't originally meant to just mean seizing something. 。According to ancient texts from the Night Family, the initial group of cultivators who practiced soul transfer still adhered to a moral code. They would choose the bodies of deceased individuals for reincarnation or seek voluntary donations from those on the brink of death in exchange for some benefit, also known as "offering their body." 。But later, as more and more spirit cultivators emerged, people no longer adhered to the rules and became less concerned with right and wrong. 。They turned the pursuit of truth into plunder, seizing lives and bodies. 。"Shi Li Yuan, do you mind that I'm not the real Ye Si Jie" she asked him, her voice very low. 。He frowned, "I don't even know the real Ye Si, how could I mind" "Then aren't you curious about who I was before What my true identity is"He shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's up to you who you want to become." 。Is it the self from before, or the current Ye Si Jie 。"She thought about it seriously, “Actually, I want to do my own thing. Unfortunately, the past Ye Wenyan is something that can never be recreated. Even if I just want to take revenge for the family, there's nowhere to start.” 。Shi Li Yuan, I cannot explain my origins to you in just a few words. But I can assure you, although I am not a good person, I am certainly not an evil one. 。I will stand by your side, I won't disgrace you, and I won't be a stain on your legacy as an emperor. 。He laughed, “When has this deity ever been afraid of losing face When has he ever cared about having blemishes” She straightened up and finally turned to look at him, “Then it’s good, you’re not afraid, so I won’t be afraid either.” 。He reached out and wiped the tears from her face, though he didn't know who she was crying for. Regardless, seeing her tear-stained face filled him with compassion. 。Even though this girl always gets angry at him whenever they meet, he still can't help but want to see her, hold her hand, and even his mind keeps replaying the phrase: "Shi Li Yuan, let me take advantage of you one more time." 。"Take me for a walk, please" she pleaded with him, her hand reaching into his palm, cold and clammy. 。He clenched his hand, frowning tightly, "Where's the warm jade I gave you" She shook her head, "I didn't bring it today" 。Because I had to send Sister Night's soul away, her body would be very painful if it still had warmth. She would feel great pain as she separated from me. 。She gave me her body, I have already received her great kindness, and I cannot let her suffer like that again. 。“Then shall we go back and get it”She shook her head again, “No need. That’s enough! It’s like paying respects to a departed soul, and also like keeping vigil for my ancestors from past lives.” 。She looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears again. “Shi Lifen, do you know Today is the seventh day since our family was massacred, not a single one left.” 。He didn't know how to comfort her, but he knew he shouldn't ask her any more questions at this time. 。Then, she hugged the person tightly. In the next moment, red light flashed and the ground shifted. 。The wind and snow whipped through her long, soft hair. 。The crimson cloak enveloped her instantly, and she heard him asking, "This is the peak, the view is nice" 。Can you take it If it's too cold, we can change places. 。She peered out from under her cloak and saw the full moon hanging in the sky, reflecting off the falling snow. It looked like little spirits were dancing in the night, sparkling and translucent. 。“not cold” 。She left his arms and rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps. 。He was startled and quickly followed her, nervously grabbing her arm. 。She half-turned her head, "What are you doing Afraid I'll jump off a cliff" He was taken aback, slowly loosening his grip, "I thought wrong, you wouldn't jump off a cliff, even if you did, nothing would happen" 。She nodded, "Yes, I have flowers on me. The flowers are used to help my spirit fly. I can soar through the air and transform into anything. I wouldn't let myself fall." 。So you don't have to worry about me, and besides, I wouldn't be so desperate as to take my own life this way. 。Sister Four's revenge hasn't been taken, the cause of death for two generations of generals in the First Rank General's Mansion hasn't been uncovered. To die just like this... how can I possibly justify it to the person who gave me my body 。He took a step forward, taking his cloak off and putting it over her shoulders. He carefully fastened the straps for her before standing beside her. 。He stood for a while, then began to muse to himself. It seemed that in over four hundred years, this was the first time a woman had stood beside him, and the first time a woman had made him take the initiative to offer her his cloak, just to keep her warm. 。“This place is nine hundred miles away from Lin'an City, in the northeast direction of the Northern Qi country.” 。More than two hundred years ago, I once rested here for a night. I found the snowy night here to be beautiful, and I could even see a lake below that didn't freeze over even in the depths of winter. 。He pointed downwards, “Look there, the lake is a deep blue. From the top of the mountain it looks like a pool of blue light.” 。She followed the direction of his finger and saw a ball of blue light. If not for him, she would have thought there was some strange object emitting light below. She would never have imagined it was a lake. 。"Really beautiful" 。My mood has finally improved a bit, and the tears in my eyes have been frozen back by this icy ground. 。She said to Shi Liyuan, "Now there are surely many wondrous places. If there's one where I can travel the four seas carefree and unburdened, that would be the life I desire most." 。Unfortunately, I didn't make it last time around. Looking at things now, I don't think this time will be any different either. 。"She let out a long sigh and looked around at the scenery once more. To her surprise, she found herself surrounded by a vast mountain range. One snowy peak after another stretched out before her, varying in height, distance, and proximity." 。Perhaps it is the perennial snowfall here, or perhaps it is the snow that never melts. The pines on the mountain are covered in a layer of silver, looking especially beautiful under the faint moonlight. 。"Shi Li Yuan, what if we sit between two snow mountains Wouldn't that be nice Hmm, a little further down, closer to the lake below, floating just above it. Wouldn't that be more beautiful than standing here and looking down" As she spoke, her hand suddenly reached forward, throwing out a sprig of plum blossom with ease. 。He saw the plum blossoms forming a net, and quickly wove it into a silver-shining swing...me. Quan Qing turned back and saw Feng Zhaolian, dressed in a red silk skirt. 。"I'm leaving in two days. Would you like to return to Yue with me" Quan Qinghua was taken aback and retorted, "I am fr...
