Chapter 768 - 768 Absence Makes the Heart Fonder, Smug Brother Jiu
768 Absence Makes the Heart Fonder, Smug Brother Jiu
A familiar aura enveloped Yu Wan.
Yu Wan did not need to look to guess who caught her. While she was glad, she also felt that it was too unbelievable. It was as if he could appear in time every time she encountered danger.
Yu Wan’s hanging heart calmed down. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him steadily. Ever since she was taken away by the black envoy, it had been almost two months since she last saw Yan Jiuchao. His face was still the same, so handsome that it didn’t seem real, but there was a hint of coldness between his eyebrows.
Yu Wan touched his slightly blue lips with her fingertips, her heart a little sore and swollen. “You didn’t shave?”!!
This man who liked to show off wished he could shave three times a day. His clothes were worn differently for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and he lived more exquisitely than anyone else every day. However, in order to find her, he had to suffer the sandstorm.
Yu Wan felt that she would endure no matter how bad this man’s temper was. From now on, she had to treat him better, better, and better!
Yu Wan was so touched that she wished she could marry him again.
At this moment, Yan Jiuchao said strangely, “Yu Ah Wan, have you gained weight again?”
Yu Wan, who was splashed with cold water: “…!!”
Yu Wan was furious. She refused to admit that she had gained weight. It was clearly the weight of a baby!
The baby, who had carried a big pot in less than three months: “…”
Yu Wan decided not to tell him about her pregnancy! Let him be kept in the dark! It would be best if he was dumbfounded when the child was born and did not understand what was going on at all!
Yan Jiuchao stared at her stomach. “Yu Ah Wan, your stomach is much bigger. Are you pregnant?”
Yu Wan : “…”
Yu Wan: “!!!”
Ahhh! She really wanted to beat him to death, beat him to death, beat him to death!
“Put me down!”
“No.”
“Don’t you think I’m heavy?!”
“The baby isn’t heavy.”
In other words, he was carrying a baby, not her.
Yu Wan, who had suffered ten thousand blows in her heart: “…”
How did she like this guy back then?!
The couple bickered for a while. Yu Wan was so angry that her face and neck were red, but Yan Jiuchao was like a spring breeze with a smug expression.
He was going to be a father again. Of course he had to be proud.
Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six could both see that their Young Master was smug. If he wasn’t so smug, they could actually be much happier for their young master. After being separated for so long, Young Master felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only were they reunited, but he was also a father again. This time, the trauma in Young Master’s heart should have been healed.
Ah Dou, who was at the side, was not so happy.
If he remembered correctly, this little master was the man who returned to the clan with the priest, right? Didn’t they say that he was poisoned and wanted to come to the Ghost Clan to look for a medicinal primer? Why did he get involved with Madam? He even made Madam pregnant with his child?
Ah Dou had been a bandit in the desert all these years, so he did not know that the clan had already found out about the Eldest Princess and her children.
Seeing the two of them together so openly in broad daylight, Ah Dou felt that the crown of his king’s head was a little green.
Just now, Yu Wan and Ah Dou had been pulled back to the other side by Yan Jiuchao with the Qianji Box. The torrent would not stop for a while, so they simply returned the way they came.
Yu Wan had already come down and walked by herself. She looked at him holding her hand and raised her eyebrows. “Yo, it’s broad daylight. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
In the past, this old antique would jump up when she touched him during the day! Now, he was taking the initiative! Yan Jiuchao’s gaze swept across her stomach that was actually not very big, as if to say, Don’t you know why I’m holding your hand?
Yu Wan gritted her teeth and silently plucked a handful of leaves by the roadside!
Yu Wan decided to ignore him. She turned to look at Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six. “By the way, how did you find this place? Do you know Ah Dou?”
Just now, Yu Wan and Ah Dou were pulled out together. Shadow Thirteen caught Ah Dou and asked, “Are you alright?”
From his tone, it was obvious that there was a story.
Ah Dou scratched his head. “Yes, I’m fine!”
Shadow Thirteen did not say anything else.
Shadow Six squeezed over and chattered as he told Yu Wan about how they got lost in the desert and accidentally started a war with the bandits, how they accidentally reunited with Ah Dou, and how Ah Dou bumped off the cliff.
He said bump, not fall. Yu Wan thought of the scene of Ah Dou smashing through the ground. It was not difficult to imagine how vivid and precise Shadow Six’s words were.
Thinking back to the process of Ah Dou treating the witch, Yu Wan felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that Ah Dou had been lost in the back of his mountain for ten years.
Shadow Six continued, “We just slid over. We heard Asura’s voice and came down.” They came down the mountain path and met Asura halfway. Asura went in another direction to look for Yu Wan. They came to the river.
Yu Wan nodded. “Asura should have gone to that old witch’s courtyard.”
“Old witch?” Shadow Six looked at Yu Wan in confusion.
Yu Wan said, “I was brought to the Feiyu Manor by the black envoy. You probably don’t know yet, but Jiang Hai is the young master of the Feiyu Manor. Wan Feng is his nephew.”
“Ah…” Shadow Six’s jaw dropped.
They had heard of the Feiyu Manor before. It was a large sect in the pugilistic world outside of Nanzhao. It was located at the border of Southern Xinjiang and the Ghost Domain. It had a deep foundation and had dealings with various races. Jiang Hai was actually the young master of that place. It was really an eye-opener.
Shadow Six muttered, “That kid hid it quite well… But why don’t I see his people? Didn’t he send Young Madam to the Ghost Clan? He actually dares to let Young Madam go alone?!”
At the end, Shadow Six exploded.
Yu Wan shook her head. “He’s here. There were also twelve disciples of the Feiyu Manor accompanying him. The entrance to the Ghost Clan was flooded. We changed our path and walked up the mountain, but we encountered the Black Envoys of the Ghost Clan. We were separated. Then, Ah Dou and I fell into a trap by accident. A woman with brilliant medical skills saved us. I thought that she was kind and was the goddess that Manor Master Ji had mentioned to me. Unexpectedly, she was an old demoness. She saved us just to test her medicine. She even had designs on my pure yin blood. If Ah Dou hadn’t woken up in time, I would have been in danger.”
A killing intent flashed across Yan Jiuchao’s eyes!
Shadow Six looked at his Young Master in fear and even lowered his voice. “What Goddess?”
Yu Wan said, “A friend of Manor Master Ji was once here. He was poisoned by a snake and was said to be dead. He was saved by a woman in red. Manor Master Ji suspects that she’s the descendant of the Saintess.”
The Saintess Hall’s medical skills were brilliant. It was rumored that every Saintess had the ability to revive the dead.
“Can he be saved if he dies?” Shadow Six curled his lips, clearly suspecting the authenticity of the entire matter.
If cardiac arrest was defined as a medical death, then there was a possibility of revival. However, if the cardiac arrest was too long, it would cause irreversible damage. However, no matter what, the Goddess’s brilliant medical skills could not be faked.
Yu Wan guessed, “At first, I had other guesses. Now, I only feel that the two of them are most likely not the same person.”
If it was the same person, there was a high chance that Manor Master Ji’s friend would not leave alive.
Shadow Six was even more puzzled. “If they’re not the same person, why do they have the same ability to revive?”
“It’s not necessarily true that she’s seen the Goddess,” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.
At this moment, they had already returned to the old witch’s courtyard. The children who caused trouble had been taught a lesson by Asura. They squatted in the corner, trembling, not even daring to fart.
Asura’s manic aura swept through the courtyard, making them vomit blood. It was not until Yu Wan walked in that he instantly restrained his aura. He grinned, revealing his white teeth.
Yu Wan patted Asura’s head comfortingly. Then, she began to search the old witch’s courtyard with Yan Jiuchao.
They found a large number of herbs and books. What was strange was that most of the prescriptions recorded in the books were of the right path. There were only a small number of heretic notes that were easily confused. This was to remind people not to use the wrong herbs to avoid refining them into heretic recipes, but the old witch simply copied the heretic recipes.
“What do you think?” Yu Wan asked Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao said, “Do you want to ask if she’s changed, or if she’s not the one who left these prescriptions behind at all?”
“Yes.” Yu Wan nodded.
“What do you think?” Yan Jiuchao gave Yu Wan a knowing look.
Yu Wan instantly understood. Coupled with Villa Master Ji’s words, she could roughly guess the story. There had indeed been a Goddess with brilliant medical skills living here. The old witch had accidentally fallen into a trap and was saved by the Goddess. After that, she had obtained the Goddess’s trust and stayed in the courtyard. Compared to the Goddess being killed by the old witch, Yu Wan was more willing to believe that the Goddess had left for some reason. However, the Goddess had left in a hurry, so she did not take the things in the courtyard with her.
Thus, the old witch took advantage of the situation and took the pill formula left behind by the Goddess to commit crimes. She even disguised herself as another Goddess.
What a great drama queen!
The words she had said for decades were naturally fake. Most probably not many of her words were true. However, this was not important. What was important was that the real goddess was very likely the descendant of the Saintess.
However, she did not know where she had gone or if she was still alive.
