Chapter 847: Chapter 413 Jiang Wan’s Ritual_2

Jiang Shouzhong naturally understood why Jiang Wan was annoyed. He said with a wry smile, "You really can’t blame me for this, your sister came onto me on her own, what could I have done?"

Jiang Wan scoffed lightly and with graceful steps, sat on the rooftop.

She opened the seal on the wine jar, tilted her head back to take a swig. The liquor slid down her slender, jade-white neck, and a few locks of hair got wet from the liquor, sticking to the sides of her cheeks, exuding an inherent allure.

Jiang Shouzhong frowned slightly.

No matter what, this is Er Liang’s body, drinking is not good at all.

Jiang Wan grabbed a skewer of candied hawthorn and bit into a piece vigorously, her gaze somewhat empty as she gazed into the distance, and said faintly, "Sometimes, fate between people is truly mysterious. Clearly, people from two different worlds, yet they insist on coming together."

Jiang Shouzhong sat beside the woman and said softly, "Can we talk business?"

Jiang Wan’s beautiful eyes twinkled, and she gave him a playful glance, "Then go ahead and talk."

Jiang Shouzhong cleared his throat, instinctively avoided her gaze, and asked, "Why did you possess Er Liang?"

"Back then, I knew my days were numbered and was unwilling to just enter a coffin, so I sought out a relic of the Saint Buddha, intending to be reborn. Coincidentally, I discovered a woman who was giving birth."

Jiang Wan placed the skewered candied hawthorn and wine jar aside, hugged her knees with both hands, "Moreover, due to my special perception for the Sword Dao, I foresaw that the daughter she would give birth to would have significant achievements in the Sword Dao. So, reviving through her body was the best choice."

Jiang Shouzhong recalled Yan Changqing’s reaction when he saw Er Liang earlier and couldn’t help but marvel at some people’s enviable talents.

"But rest assured, this so-called rebirth merely transfers my memories, cultivation, and some original personality into her, in essence, I’m still dead."

She lifted her hand to tuck the falling strands of hair behind her ear, her tone carefree and unbridled, "After some time, once I understand certain things, I’ll return Er Liang to you."

Jiang Shouzhong turned his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Wan’s serene beauty like a painting, and asked quietly, "When are you going to meet your daughter?"

"Daughter?"

Jiang Wan was first taken aback, then smiled brightly, "How could I, someone unable to bear children, have a daughter."

Jiang Shouzhong appeared stunned.

Jiang Wan tightened her grip on the wine jar with her delicate hands, raised her head, and the liquor poured down like silver threads, sliding over her slightly moving Adam’s apple.

After a few swigs, she casually wiped her lips with her sleeve, and said leisurely, "Back then I inadvertently saved a baby from the horse bandits. Initially, seeing her excellent bone structure, I handed her over to my junior sister for upbringing.

But upon returning to the Capital, I learned from someone that the baby girl’s identity was not simple, her mother was the sole descendant of the Asura Clan, so I hurried back to the South Sea Holy Sect and took her back from my junior sister, treating her as my own daughter."

"Then what about her parents..."

Jiang Wan sighed softly, her gaze somewhat distant:

"Her mother died from childbirth when giving birth to her, and her biological father is your master, Yan Changqing."

"What?"

Jiang Shouzhong was dumbfounded.

Jiang Wan gently extended her hand, using her fingers as a comb, lovingly tucking away the strands of hair on Little Jiangyi’s face, softly saying, "That’s why I say some matters are destined by fate."

"Then... does my master know?"

"Naturally, he knows."

Jiang Wan tapped the wine jar with her fingers and said, "However, Yan Changqing, to completely save his daughter, must let Ran Qingchen become demonic, becoming the true Asura Queen. Only then can he have a chance to completely eradicate the Demonic Qi from Qingchen."

Jiang Shouzhong’s brows furrowed deeply, "But my master, there’s no movement from him now."

Jiang Wan said, "Asura Demonic Qi isn’t something so easily eradicated. Yan Changqing needs to be fully prepared and simultaneously find some Heavenly Treasures to protect his daughter. But you needn’t worry, very soon Qingchen will return to normal."

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but say, "But Qingchen seems normal right now, not at all like the rumored cold-blooded and ruthless Asura Queen."

Jiang Wan chuckled lightly, "That’s because she hasn’t truly become demonic. Once the last trace of goodness and emotion within Qingchen is completely erased and the Asura Queen’s cultivation returns to its peak, only then will you witness what true darkness is."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong’s heart sank, an intense worry surging within him.

Remembering the Heartless Sword Heart within Ran Qingchen, he looked up at Jiang Wan and said:

"Actually, the reason you revived with the relic was also to save Qingchen, because you had a premonition foreseeing the misfortune Qingchen would encounter in the future."

Jiang Wan did not respond, merely placed the wine jar by her side silently. Then she extended her arms upwards, taking a big stretch.

The young girl’s silhouette, under the moonlight, resembled a gracefully stretching secluded orchid, her curves beautifully delicate.

After the stretch, she lay down on the cold tiles, her hands interlocked under her head, gazing at the stars in the sky murmuring, "Sometimes, dying is the happiest ending."

Jiang Shouzhong wanted to ask more, but Jiang Wan was already slowly closing her eyes, "Tired, I want to sleep."

"Here?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s face was full of astonishment.

Jiang Wan merely responded with a low "Hmm", then ignored him.

"Strange person..."

Jiang Shouzhong murmured softly, helplessly shook his head, and carried Little Jiangyi back inside.

After a while, he couldn’t resist going back to the rooftop to check, only to find Jiang Wan was already fast asleep.

The woman breathed steadily, her delicate and beautiful face appearing particularly peaceful and serene in the hazy night.

Jiang Shouzhong hesitated momentarily, finally turned back into the house, fetched a thick blanket, and carefully covered her.

Next day, before the dawn light broke, Jiang Wan returned to the room.

On the stick, the candied haws were all gone.

Seeing this, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but grin and remind her, "Eating too much of this is bad for your teeth, and besides, it’s not even your body; can you be a bit mindful?"

"Oh, thanks for the reminder, then I’ll eat a few more sticks."

Jiang Wan casually tossed the blanket onto the bed.

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat till you’re stuffed!" Little Jiangyi’s brows furrowed, snorting coldly, angrily turned her little head away.

Currently, she held a big grudge against this maid.

Nothing about her seemed right.

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Today? What’s the plan?"

Jiang Wan lifted her jade-like hand, took out an exquisite little porcelain bottle from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and said, "I need to perform a ritual here, so I’ll have to trouble you to protect me outside. Oh, and..."

Jiang Wan pointed at Little Jiangyi: "Take this annoying little dog out too."

"Who are you calling a little dog?"

Upon hearing this, Little Jiangyi reacted like a firecracker, her little face turning red.

Jiang Wan blinked innocently and said, "Aren’t you holding a dog in your arms?"

"You..."

Little Jiangyi was rendered speechless, her chest heaving dramatically.

"Alright, alright, let’s go outside."

Seeing the situation turning dire, Jiang Shouzhong feared the sisters might start arguing again. Hurriedly, he stepped forward, grabbed Little Jiangyi’s arm, and dragged her out of the room.

As she was dragged along, Little Jiangyi kept turning back angrily to glare at Jiang Wan, her eyes seemed to be saying: "I’ll remember this!"

Outside the room, Little Jiangyi, still fuming, said to Jiang Shouzhong: "Father, I hate her."

Jiang Shouzhong patted the girl’s little head, murmuring softly: "In the past, you dreamed about her."

"No, I didn’t."

Little Jiangyi muttered.

...

Inside the room.

Jiang Wan slowly took off her dress.

She took out a small knife and lightly pricked a few points on her body, releasing drops of blood.

Then she unscrewed the bottle cap.

The Red Worm trapped inside the bottle smelled fresh Blood Qi and rushed out, burrowing into the wounds Jiang Wan had made.

In the next moment, a black vein-like line spread from the wound, extending to other points of blood.

Jiang Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

In an instant, a fierce wind seemed to roar in her ears, mixed with numerous bizarre whispers, like ghosts from hell whispering.

"Kill Jiang Shouzhong... Kill Jiang Shouzhong..."

She raised her arm, forcibly tearing a phantom from the air.

What she pulled out was a woman.

If Jiang Shouzhong were here, he would definitely recognize this woman as the spirit of the previous maid.
