Chapter Ninety-Three: Transactions
"What?"
Painting Allure and Cang Wunian couldn't help but be surprised.
"Oh, no wonder you're so surprised. Xia Roumeng's soul had already returned to Huangquan during the serious illness three years ago, and it was the master who came to the palace and used Xia Roumeng's body to create a ......," Ji Wuxin explained slowly.
Three years ago, the real princess of Anguo, Xia Roumeng, was seriously ill and had no soul, just when Chu Yu was anxious to offer a reward to recruit divine doctors from all over the country to treat her, the imperial master introduced a mysterious man to Chu Yu, who claimed to be from a hidden tribe on the northern border between Wansang and Kosi Kingdom, and had a way to cure the princess's illness.
Chu Yu was a little skeptical, but he thought that it was the person who was introduced by the Taishi, and Princess Anguo was indeed terminally ill at that time, even if it could not be cured, I am afraid that the worst would be the case, so he agreed to let the mysterious man treat Princess Anguo.
The mysterious man had made a request that no one be watching or disturbing while he was healing the princess, otherwise he would not be responsible for what had gone wrong.
What no one expected was that Xia Roumeng at that time had only her last breath left, and she was simply lacking in the ability to return to the sky. The mysterious man simply gave her a pleasure and ended her young life.
After the death of the real Anguo princess Xiang Xiaoyu, the mysterious man used the witch vine he carried with him to reshape a skeleton of Xia Roumeng, and then used witchcraft to fuse into Xia Roumeng's body.
At this point, a heartless puppet with Xia Roumeng's skin and memories was born, and the man named her - Ji Wuxin.
As the name suggests, she really has no intention.
When Xia Roumeng stood alive in front of Chu Yu again, Chu Yu was ecstatic. The mysterious man told him that the princess was blessed with great fortune and that her body was fine, but that her temperament might change drastically, so that he could be mentally prepared.
What Chu Yu didn't expect was that Xia Roumeng was doing everything as usual, and the only request she made was to let Chu Yu not interfere with her marriage.
Since then, not only has the monarch had three thousand beauties in the harem in this palace, but Ji Wuxin's harem has also produced many newcomers.
"The master gave me all the memories of the Wu Clan's Gu poison technique, among which this Heart Devouring Gu was originally a Gu placed by the Wu Clan woman in order to control her beloved. But I'm using it the other way around, I'm looking for all the men who have a heart for me, and I'm going to use Zi Gu to devour their hearts, but it's a pity...... It hasn't worked out until now. Ji Wuxin's tone was light, and he didn't seem to feel how unreasonable he was in doing this.
"You...... How can you be so cruel, in order to have a heart, you have to harm so many innocent people's lives?"
"Little sister, you really misunderstood me. This Heart-devouring Gu only works for people who have moved their hearts, in the Wu Clan, women are worried that their lovers will betray them, and it is often wishful thinking to play this Gu when they are in love. If one of the two of them changes his mind in the future, he will suffer the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he will lose his heart and die after being tortured by this Gu poison for seven days. And the reason why I say that I have never succeeded means that no one has died because of it. Ji Wuxin explained calmly.
"What about Chu Yu's situation?" asked Cang Wunian with a frown.
He ...... He is probably the only person in the world who really treats Xia Roumeng. I know that he has Xia Roumeng in his heart, and I also see his shadow in Xia Roumeng's memory. It's just that because of the imperial power and struggle, it is impossible for Chu Yu to make Xia Roumeng, who has nothing to do with her fame and no help, as the queen of the monarch. And Xia Roumeng has a strong nature, if she is not the queen, she would rather draw a line with Chu Yu. Therefore, although the relationship between the two is tacit, it is always affectionate and polite. Ji Wuxin said lightly.
Hua Chengcheng felt a little blocked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this way of devouring Gu really as Luo Fan Daoist said?"
"Not bad. Ji Wuxin nodded.
"How can you do this? You know that Chu Yu loves Xia Roumeng, how can you use Xia Roumeng's body to ...... What kind of thing to do?" Painting Allure was very depressed and incomprehensible.
"Because of your little lover, my bewilderment, I have to use this method. Ji Wuxin said with a slight sneer.
"Brother Wunian?" Hua Chengcheng looked at Cang Wunian suspiciously: "Brother Wunian, what does this matter have to do with you?"
"Wu Nian, it turns out that you are the young master of the famous Thousand Machines Pavilion?" Ji Wuxin raised his eyebrows, and then his face was abrupt.
"Thousand Machine Pavilion...... Young master?" Painting Allure listened to Ji Wuxin's words, and stared at Cang Wunian with a stunned expression. No wonder he would know that she and her aunt had been to Youyuxuan, no wonder he would know where the person they were looking for was.
Cang Wunian glanced at the painting Allure with a complicated expression, and then asked in a deep voice to Ji Wuxin, "Your master is just for the secret in Chu Yu's hands, so let you do it in advance?"
"Yes. One is to fulfill the master's orders, and the other is to allow me to have a heart. Ji Wuxin nodded lightly.
"If you want to have a heart, you just want to experience the love between men and women, but if you take away his heart, you will lose the person who loves you, do you think you will be able to live in peace from now on?" Cang Wunian's face was a little gloomy, for some reason, as long as he thought of the love between men and women, he had a contradictory feeling all over his body, that kind of emotion was obviously very strange to him, but he had to admit that he wanted to experience it very much.
"Of course I know, but if I hadn't, I'd never have understood what it's like to be excited. The master named me Wuxin, just because I was a puppet, but he didn't expect that he left me Xia Roumeng's memory and gave me a longing for love. I know what it's like, but I can't empathize......" Ji Wuxin's tone was a little gloomy, and her pale face at this time actually made people feel a little sad inexplicably.
"What is the purpose of telling us so much?" Cang Wunian rationally shifted the topic to the original point. He didn't believe that Ji Wuxin just wanted to talk to them about it.
"Hehe......" Ji Wuxin smiled bitterly: "I'm now being devoured by the Heart Devouring Gu, with your skills, you can crush me in less than ten rounds, are you still afraid of what I will do?"
"Since I didn't want to use any means, I let her go. All of this has nothing to do with her. Cang Wunian said coldly.
"Confused...... You have been listening to me here for a long time, and you are still worried about the safety of this little sister. It seems that you are indeed attracted to her. Heart...... It's so good......" Ji Wuxin sighed leisurely, and the voice of the last few words was as light as if talking to himself.
It's nice to have a heart?
Cang Wunian subconsciously touched his chest, that position was injured last night, and that poisonous nail was still taken out by Painting Chengcheng himself.
Since he lost his soul, he rarely felt the fluctuations in his heart, and if it wasn't for the fact that it was still beating, he would have wondered if he didn't have a heart either.
Could he really have her in his heart? But how could it be? They have met a few times in the past ten years, and they can't even talk about familiarity. At the beginning, he was looking for her, just so that one day he could wait for her to become a real painting soul and reshape his soul, so that he could have the opportunity to experience all the emotions of time.
A touch of bitter self-deprecation spread at the corners of Cang Wunian's mouth, and he suddenly felt that he was really similar to Ji Wuxin, although he knew it, he couldn't understand it. They all want to use some means to use others to achieve their own goals.
Seeing that Cang Wunian was silent for a long time, Ji Wuxin chuckled: "It really made me right." But she's my biggest bargaining chip now, and if I let her go, will you let me go?"
"Ji Wuxin, there is no grudge between you and me. As...... Let's make a deal. Cang Wunian eased his mind and said lightly.
"Oh? Ji Wuxin stared at him with interest.
"I am the young master of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, and you must know what kind of existence the Thousand Machine Pavilion is. You want to get a heart, I want you to let people go, why don't we make a deal with this. I'll try to get people to see if there's another way for you to have a heart without the cost of losing a loved one. Cang Wunian said.
Ji Wuxin looked at Cang Wunian with a solemn expression, and then looked at the painting Allure who had been biting his lip and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, Ji Wuxin finally nodded: "Okay, but I still have one condition." ”
"What conditions?" asked Cang Wunian in a deep voice.
"If you learn Chu Yu's secret in the future, you must tell me. The main purpose of the master to shape me out was to find out the secrets of the royal family. Now that the mission has not been completed, I can't go back to the palace, so the source of the news can only be obtained from you. Ji Wuxin replied.
"Good. Cang Wunian agreed without thinking too much. What about the secrets of the royal family, after so many years, the Wansang Kingdom is still calm, presumably if the heavy treasure is not really very rare, it is the world to spread it. He was stupid to give up painting Allure for the sake of a clue to a treasure.
Seeing that Cang Wunian agreed so happily, Ji Wuxin was slightly stunned. The master had told her that Cang Wunian had infiltrated the palace because of the secret in Chu Yu's hands. It's just that she didn't expect that in order to paint Allure, Cang Wunian actually agreed to tell her the news without hesitation.
Intuitively, she believed that Cang Wunian disdained to lie to her, and since he wouldn't lie to her and could agree so happily, it could only show one thing, that is, the importance of painting Allure in his mind may not even be aware of it.
With a wry smile, Ji Wuxin raised his hand and threw it to Cang Wunian what looked like a talisman, "If there is news in the future, burn this talisman, and I will come to you soon." ”
With that, she waved her sleeves, and her body turned into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing from the sight of Cang Wunian and the painting of Allure.
