Chapter 155 The Origin of Ji Xue and Su Jixue
It was past noon and the light in King Zhan's bedroom was dim, but Su Jixue, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be glowing in King Zhan's eyes.
In fact, both of them had avoided the question of Ji Xue's identity before.
The main reason is that I’m worried that Su Jixue will feel uncomfortable.
But now, this topic was brought up by Su Jixue, and it was she who revealed the identity. And she also took the initiative to mention Ji Xue's matter.
She said she would pay it back in this life.
Su Jixue is her life.
Zhan Wang tightened his grip on Su Jixue's fingers, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he was afraid to do so because of the wound on her back.
Su Jixue saw what Zhan Wang was thinking, so she stretched out her arms, gently put her arms around his shoulders, and hugged Zhan Wang.
This hug was careful.
It was just like how cautious the War King was when he met Ji Xue again, and also just like how cautious Su Jixue was when she still had concerns about the War King.
But it is like a tired bird returning to the forest.
The two souls who had been wandering and lonely finally snuggled up to each other at this moment.
"I'm fine. The wounds should be healed tomorrow." Su Jixue said lightly. She could feel the wounds healing quietly.
"Maybe not until tomorrow." King Zhan suddenly remembered the small bottle of spirit blood given by Queen Mother Xie, let go of Su Jixue and handed it over directly.
Su Jixue looked at the jade bottle in the hands of the War King, although he had not yet said what was inside.
But her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if something in the jade bottle was causing the blood in her body to flow rapidly.
"My blood?"
Su Jixue guessed what was inside at the first moment.
Prince Zhan nodded and said, "After Madam Su entered the palace today, the Queen Mother personally bestowed it upon her."
The two looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
This means that one of Empress Dowager Xie and Old Madam Su must be Ji Xue's mother.
Su Jixue took the small jade bottle and saw that the blood inside still looked fresh, as if it had been properly preserved since the blood was drained.
"Axue, did they drain your blood?"
The War King asked softly. This was something he had always wanted to know. But before, he only dared to ask indirectly, for fear of bringing back bad memories for her.
But now it was rare for Su Jixue to speak out and make things clear, and King Zhan finally asked.
Su Jixue lowered her eyes, but then she looked up at King Zhan.
If someone else asked her about this, she would definitely not tell him. But if Jun Wuzui was innocent, then there was nothing wrong with telling him.
The notorious killer in front of her now looked very cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Only those who truly care about her would be afraid that she would be hurt.
You are innocent, it has always been like this.
Su Jixue reached out and grasped the War King's hand, their two hands tightly clasped together. She then spoke slowly, "The blood and body should have been preserved separately, without wasting a single drop."
The memory of death was too cruel, and she was not afraid when she recalled it.
But I'm afraid he'll worry.
How strange, she was the one who suffered the most damage, but Su Jixue knew that if the War King knew what happened to Ji Xue, he would explode and would want to cut Zongkui into pieces.
This is obviously the point that should be utilized the most.
At least, he would never let Zong Kui go, but Su Jixue couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear to let him experience that kind of pain again.
But even such a brief description made the War King feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
The pair of narrow eyes that had been blooming with spring warmth sank, and suddenly froze. The War King couldn't help but tighten his fingers. What did she say?
Although I had guessed Ji Xue's outcome long ago.
But I still hope that she can pass away without knowing anything.
Draining all the blood was just an exaggerated guess by the War King, but he didn't expect the result to be not exaggerated at all.
Su Jixue said it lightly, but King Zhan seemed to see her being thrown into a pool of blood and being tortured.
Does it hurt?
I wanted to ask this question in my heart, but I couldn't ask it out loud.
How could it not hurt? How could it not hurt?
"It's okay, it's over." This time, the War King gently put his arm around Su Jixue's shoulders and hugged her gently: "He will pay the price."
The warmth from the War King came over me.
Don't believe what others say, but see what they do. This is a truth Su Jixue learned very early on.
But if Jun Wuzui said this, she would be willing to believe it.
This person has proved his feelings for Ji Xue countless times. From the moment he started calling her Axue, Jun Wuzui should have known that Su Jixue was Ji Xue.
"Jun is innocent, leave Zongkui to me." Su Jixue didn't say anything else, but everything that happened to her, Zongkui must also go through.
"Okay." King Zhan nodded and gently put Su Jixue back.
Su Jixue fiddled with the small jade bottle in her hand, her eyes flickering as if she had thought of something. She didn't know what kind of elixir Ji Xue's mother had concocted, but it seemed like she was trying to restore her spirit form. Although the elixir ultimately failed to materialize, Su Jixue had absorbed all of its spiritual energy.
There was not only Ji Xue's heart, but also blood and eyes.
Although it is still unknown what kind of nourishment it will bring to Su Jixue's current body, she can now absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth like before.
With the skills of the Eldar, this bottle of Eldar blood is more than just for healing.
"Actually, Su Jixue and I have some history." Su Jixue looked at the War King and spoke slowly: "Back then, Su Jian was entrusted by me to bring the child back to Dongchu."
The War King did not say anything, but listened quietly to Su Jixue telling the secret of that year.
"The child was born prematurely and was sickly. He was taken out of the abdomen by cutting open at birth." Su Jixue thought of the woman who had begged for mercy. Su Jixue's mother was willing to die, but it was also a gamble for the child's life.
Everyone thought that the child would not survive.
It was Ji Xue who defied fate and used a secret technique to replace blood, allowing the child who was destined to die young to survive.
"Su Jixue has my blood in her body." Su Jixue said lightly, as if she was talking about someone else: "Maybe this is why I can be reborn in this body."
"Now, with this vial of blood in hand, I can fully restore the power of the Eldar to this body."
This bottle of the original body's blood can make up for the lack of heat in the elixir.
The secret skills of the spirit race that Ji Xue inherited were no less than those of Ji Xue's mother. What they gave Ji Xue was a unique opportunity.
Moreover, it was precisely because of Ji Xue's good intention back then that he had this encounter today.
"Axue——"
The War King looked at Su Jixue. These two people who were completely different from Ji Xue before, now seemed to be gradually merging.
Especially Su Jixue's peach blossom eyes, which gradually became slender and the corners of her eyes turned up.
He suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Have you ever thought that maybe what happened to you wasn't an accident?"
what?
Su Jixue's eyes widened.
