From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Chapter 173 The Reason for Longevity

That year, the eldest princess' flesh and blood was used as medicine by her own father, and she was also placed under house arrest in the palace.

"I thought my life would slowly fade away in days like this."

"But as time went on, I found that the flesh and blood grew back faster. Later on, it would grow back the next day after being cut off."

Tian Yu was frightened after hearing these words. He felt the pain in his flesh begin to ache. What a torture it was to endure the pain of having his flesh cut out every day.

The eldest princess smiled sadly: "At that time, I didn't know the reason for the changes in my body, until I slowly discovered that my brothers and sisters in the palace began to die suddenly one after another."

"After only five years, the palace was decimated and I was the only one left among my father's children."

"At this time, my father was still alive and well, but more terrible things began to happen."

"It started with his favorite concubines, and then it spread outwards. Anyone who was close to him or had a blood relationship with him died one after another."

"I was imprisoned in the palace and my flesh was cut out for ten years. During these ten years, my father and I were the only ones left in the royal family."

This story suddenly reminded Tian Yu of the members of the Chen family who had died one after another.

When only the eldest princess and the former king were left, for some unknown reason, the pills that were used to maintain the emperor's vitality began to lose their effectiveness, until they became like dough.

"Father is panicking. It's not like he didn't notice something strange these years, but he has embarked on this path and now he is only deceiving himself. His heart has turned into a beast and he can no longer turn back."

"So finally, he decided to eat me."

Although the eldest princess's expression changed a lot when she spoke of this, she never shed a single tear, as if she had long been numb after such years.

"What happened next?" Tian Yu felt his throat tighten.

Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but the story told by the eldest princess was truly too horrifying.

"later?"

The eldest princess lowered her head and laughed, her laughter became more and more wild, until she finally laughed out loud, even tears came out.

"Later, of course, every time he cut off a piece of my flesh, his spirit weakened a little, but my flesh grew back rapidly!"

The eldest princess raised her head, her hair was a little messy at this time, and her eyes looking at Tian Yu seemed to be looking through everything at that distant and terrifying night.

"He kept cutting me with the knife. I felt my blood flowing out of my body... I felt like he was about to cut me into a pile of bones..."

"Slowly, his strength became weaker and weaker, and the fierce look in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer..."

"He had long turned a deaf ear to my cries. Even when I kept calling him father, it didn't awaken a trace of rationality in his heart..."

"Do you know the pain? You feel your skin being cut open, your flesh being cut off, and your blood vessels and fat exposed to others..."

"Just when I thought I was doomed to die, my father suddenly fell in front of me."

"he died."

"As my flesh and blood were being cut away and growing back, he wasted away his vitality until he died."

Tian Yu seemed to understand what the eldest princess meant. According to her, this so-called art of immortality was probably just a technique of exchanging life for another's.

Using the life of a blood relative to replenish oneself, but there was some unknown problem with this secret method, and it did not manifest itself on the person using it. Instead, it allowed the medicine to gain a long life.

The same is true for Qiu Niang and Chen Shenghe.

The spice was originally used to prolong Chen Shenghe's life. At the beginning, Chen Shenghe's health did improve, but after a long time, it attacked again.

Later, Qiu Niang ordered people to find the alchemist, but the player had already left, so she developed the spices herself.

The final result was that she was trapped in the cycle of long life, while Chen Shenghe became a pile of bones.

The eldest princess' story later became secret.

Because of her immortality, her mentality became quite twisted. After several dynasties and generations, she still sat firmly on her throne of princess.

"I originally thought that I would live a long life like this until the woman named Qiu Niang appeared."

"I can't remember how many times I've experienced this day, but ever since she showed up, all the stories started all over again."

"I want to go back to the palace where I was imprisoned for ten years again and again, experience the change of dynasties again and again, and learn again and again that Qiu Niang saved you in the music school."

"I have tried many different methods each time. Every time I ordered people to kill Qiu Niang, but it was always ineffective."

Now Tian Yu finally understood the cause of the incident.

Everyone's timeline began to cycle after Qiu Niang appeared.

The first long-lived woman is the eldest princess. Her long life is not trapped in the reincarnation timeline. She keeps moving forward and has reached a state of true near-immortality.

But Qiu Niang appeared. After Qiu Niang appeared, the timeline was stuck at that node forever and could no longer move forward.

Tian Yu felt a little confused.

So he asked, "Which day is the time point when the cycle repeats itself?"

"It was the day she rescued you from the well."

So far, all the developments in this copy have gone against Tian Yu's guess.

Qiu Niang's rescue of Jing from the well that day was the key to triggering the repetition of time. Then what about the story of Qiu Niang marrying into the mansion afterwards?

Tian Yu kept thinking about various possibilities. Even if they were outrageous, sometimes if he couldn't find any other truth, it might be the truth.

Thinking of this, Tian Yu looked up at the eldest princess and asked, "Then where is Qiu Niang now?"

The princess glanced at Tian Yu and said, "I would like to know, too."

"In several reincarnations, I have never found her before she appeared in Nanshan."

Listening to the eldest princess's story, Tian Yu lowered his head and began to think.

Qiu Niang’s story cannot be false. Her appearance can affect the eldest princess’s way to immortality. She also left props behind.

Those memories couldn't be made-up stories, she was most likely connected to this world.

An outrageous guess was growing in Tian Yu's mind.

She wanted to verify it, but felt that she couldn't wait that long.

So she looked at the eldest princess again and said, "If you want to break the impasse and get rid of Qiu Niang, my relationship with that Taoist priest may be a way forward."

"You've scattered that man to dust. What should I do now?" The princess scolded with a smile.

"The princess did not stop me at the beginning. She must have her own plans. There is no need to make fun of me here."

Tian Yu knew in his heart that the eldest princess was a real experienced person, how could she allow him to ruin her plans?

"Even so, you will go to the mountains in the southwest for me."

The eldest princess laughed and stated her purpose.
