Chapter 72: Master Liyuan, You Are Here

Xiao was anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't we agree that we must give birth to a boy so that we can plan for great things in the future?"

"How can you be sure of giving birth to a boy?" Ye Hongzhuang was angry and anxious, "Mom, haven't you seen clearly these few days? Fu You is here to curry favor with Ye Wenyan. Queen Mother Li wants to treat the Sixth Prince's injury. They don't care about me at all!"

"His wound cannot be cured." Xiao gently held her daughter's hand, "I have already inquired about it. His wound cannot be cured. It is all broken, unless it grows back. So it is useless for them to curry favor with him. Ye Wenyan is not a god."

"Even if it doesn't work, I may not be able to give birth to a son." Ye Hongzhuang was very desperate, "I have been suffering from severe morning sickness these days, and I feel more and more that the baby in my belly is a girl." "Don't be afraid." Xiao's voice was lowered a little, "Don't be afraid, even if it is a girl, I will definitely turn her into a boy."

At Xu Mingtang, everyone who should have left had left. Ye Jingsheng asked the servants to find a doctor for him. Ye Wenyan did not say anything against it. She just knelt beside the brazier and silently burned the unburned papers.

Ye Chulian wanted to stay and help her burn the fire, but she shook her head and refused. She even drove Ji Mama and Zhuier back to their own courtyard. At this moment, she was the only one in Xu Ming Hall. The servants of Ye Mansion walked away tactfully, leaving only a bright lamp hanging outside the hall to illuminate her.

She burned them very slowly, one by one. If someone could go around to the front and see her face at this moment, they would find that the Fourth Miss Ye, who had just been so decisive in killing and punishing, was now in tears.

Today is the seventh day after the death of the original owner, as well as her own seventh day after the death, and even more so the seventh day after the death of everyone in the Xuanmai Ye family in her previous life.

She could hold a first-seven-day sacrifice for the original owner here, but she couldn't openly sacrifice to her relatives in her previous life. In that massacre, the Ye family was a river of blood, men, women, old people and children, the enemy killed them all, leaving no one alive.

So many people! All dead. She sniffed and threw another piece of paper into the brazier.

"I don't know if you can accept the paper I burn in this time and space. But there is no other way. I can't be too blatant, and I can't let people doubt my identity. I have to survive here, and I have to live my life as the Fourth Miss Ye. Grandpa, why do you think they want to destroy the Ye family? Why do they want to wipe out the Five Veins? We have obviously stayed far away and didn't participate in anything, so why are they still unwilling to let us go? Grandpa, are you all okay over there? Is there a Yellow Spring Road to go? Is there a Hell to live in? Where do people go after they die?"

She went to get paper money again, but unfortunately she got nothing.

"No more." She was a little frustrated. "What else can I do? Besides missing you, what else can I do for you here?" The little girl covered her face with her hands and cried silently.

She didn't know how long she had been crying, but suddenly a hand gently covered her back. She was startled, but didn't move, or even turn her head. She just put her hand down from her face and asked, "Master Liyuan?"

"Yeah." His thin shoulders were tightly embraced, and he asked, "Why are you crying?"

She leaned back, right into his arms, "Missing my grandfather."

"Ye Zhenwei?" He paused, "I actually... I actually always thought you were possessed by someone else."

"Possession?" She smiled bitterly, "So that's how you think of me. The spiritual power of heaven and earth has disappeared for hundreds of years, and you're probably the only one who still remembers the words possession. Unfortunately, you're wrong. I'm not possessing a body. I'm not so despicable as to drive someone's real soul out of a body just to live for myself. At best, I'm using a corpse to revive, because the real Fourth Miss Ye died on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. She died the moment the knife pierced her heart."

Possession is a method of resurrection that is circulated in the spiritual world. It is a cruel method used by high-level cultivators to rob the lives and bodies of low-level cultivators. Sometimes it is to bring the dead back to life, and sometimes it is just because of the unique spiritual roots of the person. In short, one person must die in the possession of a body, and the remaining one will become the real owner of that body.

But actually, the practice of possessing a body was not just about snatching. The ancient books of the Ye family recorded that the first group of spiritual practitioners who began to possess bodies still had moral limits. They would choose to revive the bodies of dead people, or have dying people voluntarily transfer their bodies as a kind of exchange, also known as offering.

But later, as more and more people began to cultivate their spirits, people no longer followed the rules and no longer cared much about morality.

They turned robbing into real snatching, snatching other people's lives and bodies.

"Shi Liyuan, do you mind that I'm not the real Fourth Miss Ye?" she asked him in a low voice.

He frowned when he heard this, "I don't even know the real Fourth Miss Ye, so why would I mind?" "Then are you curious about what kind of person I was in the past? What is my true identity?"

He shook his head, "It doesn't matter. It depends on who you want to be. Your former self, or the current Fourth Miss Ye."

She thought about this question seriously. "I actually want to be myself, but unfortunately, I can't go back to being the Ye Wenyan I used to be. I want to avenge my family but I have nowhere to go. Master Liyuan, I can't explain my origins to you in a few words, but I can assure you that although I am not a good person, I am definitely not a bad person. I will not embarrass you by being with you, nor will I become a stain on your life as an emperor."

He laughed when he heard it, "When have I ever been afraid of losing face? When have I ever cared about whether there is a stain?"

She stood up and finally turned to look at him, "That's good, if you're not afraid, then I won't be afraid either."

He reached out and wiped the tears from her face. Although he didn't know who the little girl was crying for, he felt sorry for her tear-stained face. Even though the little girl would make him angry every time they met, he still couldn't help wanting to see her, wanting to hold her hand, and even a sentence kept echoing in his mind: Master Liyuan, let me take advantage of you again.

"Can you take me out for a walk?" she begged him, and put her little hand into his palm, which was icy cold.

He held the little hand tightly and frowned, "Where is the warm jade I gave you?"

She shook her head. "I didn't bring it today. Because I have to send Miss Ye Si's soul away. If her body is warm, it will be very painful when she is peeled off from my body. She gave her body to me, and I have accepted her great kindness. I can't let her suffer like that again."

He then asked, "Do you want to go back and get it?"

She shook her head again, "No, let's just leave it like this! Just treat it as a memorial to a departed soul, and also as a memorial for the dozens of people in my previous life's family." She looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Master Liyuan, do you know? Today is the first seven days for my family. The whole family will be wiped out, not a single one will be left alive." He didn't know how to comfort her, but he knew he shouldn't ask her any more questions at this time. So he held her tightly in his arms, and the next moment, a red light suddenly appeared, and the world changed.

Snow blew past, messing up her soft long hair. The maple-red cape suddenly covered her, and she heard him ask, "This is the top of the mountain, the view is nice. Can you stand it? If it's too cold, we can go to another place."

She stuck her head out of her cloak and looked out. At a glance, she saw the crescent moon in the sky reflecting the falling snow. It was like elves dancing in the night sky, fluttering and crystal clear.

"It's not cold." She left his embrace and rushed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps. He was so scared that he hurried to catch up with her and nervously grabbed her arm. She turned halfway and asked, "What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will jump off the cliff?"

He was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go, "You're wrong, you won't jump off the cliff, and even if you do, nothing will happen to you."

She nodded, "Yes, I have flowers on me, and I can levitate and transform everything by twisting them. I won't let myself fall to my death. So you don't have to worry about me. Besides, I won't be so desperate as to seek death in this way. The revenge of Fourth Miss Ye hasn't been avenged yet, and the cause of death of two generations of generals in the First-Rank General's Mansion hasn't been found out yet. If I die like this, how can I be worthy of the person who gave me my body?"

He took a step forward, took off the cloak behind him and put it on her, carefully tied the belt for her, and then stood side by side with her. After standing for a while, he began to think about it. It seemed that in the past four hundred years, this was the first time that a woman stood side by side with him, and it was also the first time that a woman could be offered his cloak by him, just to keep her warm.

"This place is nine hundred miles away from Lin'an City, and is in the northeast of Northern Qi. I once rested here for a night more than two hundred years ago. I found the snowy night here very beautiful, and I could see a lake below that would not freeze even in the severe winter." He pointed downward, "Look there, the lake is azure blue, and from the top of the mountain it looks like a ball of blue light."

She looked in the direction of his finger, and indeed saw a ball of blue light. If he hadn't said it, she would have thought that there was something strange below emitting light, and she would never have thought that it was a lake. "It's so beautiful." She felt better at last, and the tears in her eyes were frozen back by the ice and snow. She said to Shi Liyuan, "There must be many wonderful places in this world. If one day I could travel around the world without any worries, that would be the life I want most. Unfortunately, I didn't live it in my last life, and I don't think there will be much hope in this life either."

She sighed and looked around. It turned out that she was in a continuous mountain range. Snow-capped mountains were one after another, some high, some low, some far, some near. Maybe it was because it snowed all year round, or maybe it was because the snow never melted, the green pines on the mountain were covered with a layer of silver, which looked particularly beautiful under the faint moonlight.

"Master Liyuan, do you think it would be nice if we sit between the two snow-capped mountains? Well, if we go a little lower and closer to the lake below, we can swing above the lake. Wouldn't it be more beautiful than standing here and looking down?" As she spoke, her hand suddenly reached forward and threw out a handful of wintersweet flowers.

He saw the plum blossoms forming a net, which soon became a silver swing...
