I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse -
Chapter 906: Who is Zi Yi?
Chapter 906: Chapter 906: Who is Zi Yi?
"Mother~~" Luo Xin was almost on the verge of tears, "I won’t marry, I want to stay by Mother’s side."
"Heh!" You couldn’t help rolling your eyes on the side, this Elder Brother seemed quite talented indeed.
"Deserving of a smack!" The Meng Family’s matriarch directly slapped the back of Luo Xin’s head, "You’ve worried enough about Second Brother’s matters over the last three years. Now that he’s better, it’s time you settled down. Your father and I are looking forward to seeing you produce offspring soon."
Hearing Meng Family’s matriarch say this, your eyes almost turned red. This was what a real family was like: a loving father, filial sons, brothers who were friendly and respectful. For someone like you who came from a single-parent family, what more could one ask for!
"Elder Brother, go ahead and get married, so I can have some fun teasing my nephew." Although you were all smiles on the surface, inside you couldn’t express how touched you were.
"And you, all of today’s events started because of you!" The Meng Family’s matriarch pointed at you with her other hand, "But you are a young man of the Luo Family, and in matters of children, you absolutely must not lose to anyone else. So I’m giving you a mission, bring that Zi Yi into Luo Mansion as soon as possible. Even if she can’t become the principal wife, taking her as a concubine would still be decent enough."
"Eh?" You were taken aback. When had this issue been dragged onto you? So today’s events were all due to a love affair!
"Second Brother, speaking of Miss Zi Yi, she has been unwavering in her affection for you. During the days you lay unconscious, she came to visit the mansion many times, but was always blocked by our father. Father disapproves of her background... Sigh, I’m afraid you’ll have to have a good talk with Father about this."
"Wait, wait a minute, who is Zi Yi?" Having completely lost your previous memories, you naturally didn’t know that such a person existed.
"Oh dear, I’m all muddled. After you fully recovered, you also lost most of your old memories. Could it be that you’ve forgotten Zi Yi? You should know, during the three years of your greatest disappointment, she wrote countless letters to you."
"Uh, really forgot."
"Well, that makes things easier. Why not just go along with the Crown Prince’s wishes... Ouch, Mother!"
Luo Xin, a man pushing his late twenties and a Standard Fourth Rank official in court, was still being smacked around by his mother like a little child at home. If this got out, heh, that would certainly be interesting.
"Look at what you’re saying, Second Brother may have lost much of his memory, but not Miss Zi Yi! Back in the day, the line of girls who had their eyes on our Second Brother would stretch from Chang’an City to Minzhou! And what about now? After Second Brother’s incident, which other girl has given him as much as a glance, only Zi Yi has! Where could one find such genuinely faithful and devoted people nowadays!" The radiant face of the Meng Family’s matriarch tightened as she directly issued an order to you, "Listen well, my son, I give you a ten-day deadline; within ten days you must persuade your father to bring Zi Yi into our household."
"Yes, your child understands." Having said that, you added timidly, "Mother, what does Zi Yi look like?"
"How should your mother know?"
"But if she..."
"Since she is the Oiran at the Moon-viewing Pavilion, naturally she must be somewhat attractive. If you’re worried, you might as well meet her at the Moon-viewing Pavilion tonight."
"Tonight, huh? But I’ve just narrowly escaped death." To be honest, you didn’t really want to go. After all, you had no emotional foundation with Zi Yi, and besides, the Crown Prince might send someone to intercept you there tonight.
"You coward! A little thing like this is not worth mentioning. Back in the day, your father fought his way through tens of thousands of enemy troops, and after returning..." It was only then that the Meng Family’s matriarch realized she had said too much. The two shameless sons were listening with keen interest, "Get lost! Elder Brother, you take Second Brother to the Moon-viewing Pavilion tonight to check out Miss Zi Yi’s character and appearance."
"Yes, your child will strictly obey the decree!" Saying this, Luo Xin pulled you into the backyard.
Once in the backyard and seeing the Meng Family’s matriarch hadn’t followed, you quickly went up to Luo Xin’s ear and whispered, "Elder Brother, what do we do tonight? If we run into the Crown Prince, should we..." As you spoke, you made a throat-slitting gesture with your hand.
"Go! Do you think the Tang Dynasty belongs to our Luo Family? And anyway, he is the Crown Prince, do you understand? He is the one to inherit the throne."
"Heh! The throne, him? Dream on. Isn’t the current Crown Prince Li Chengqian?"
"What about it?"
"My master said, that boy doesn’t have the fate for it. Besides, it’s likely he won’t be able to sit in that position for long."
"Oh? Really."
"Of course, it’s absolutely true!" You conveyed a strong self-confidence. Even though the history of this world was completely different from the other, you knew, as long as you were alive, Li Chengqian would never become the Emperor!
"Alright, alright!!" Luo Xin clenched his fist effortlessly, a spirited energy surging upwards. At this moment, he was like a lion breaking free from its bonds, with all the energy in the world to roar through the forests, "If that’s the case, then tonight I shall join you to snatch Miss Zi Yi from the Moon-viewing Pavilion. If anyone stands in our way, kill them, if gods block us, slay the gods!"
"The first part sounded pretty good, but let’s skip the god slaying." you couldn’t help adding.
"Heh." Luo Xin did not bother to explain. The future would clarify things naturally.
"Second Young Master, the bath is ready, please go wash up." As soon as you returned to your room, Little Yue smiled and helped you out of your outer garments.
"Mm."
Looking at the charming Little Yue, you couldn’t help but think that feudalism really had its perks.
After the bath, you sat alone quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard.
After these events, you became fully aware of your weaknesses and felt an urgent desire to acquire even greater power.
At the same time, the cold gaze of Ma Linghan surfaced in your mind again. Every time you thought of that look, your fists would clench tightly!
And then there was the Crown Prince’s elaborate scheme today. If Luo Xin were just an ordinary scholar, your fate would also have been death!
You can’t waste any more time, you must keep strengthening yourself in order to find out Zhao’er’s origin!
"Activate Gate, open!"
"Rest Gate, open!"
Suddenly standing up, you opened two gates in succession. As soon as the Activate Gate’s power bolstered you, you felt power coursing through your entire body. Once the Rest Gate was opened, your body felt as if it were floating in a gravity-free space, nearly celestial.
The Activate Gate is about strength, while Rest Gate is about speed. With these two gates, your power would increase significantly, but this was far from enough!
Just the Gluttonous Beast’s Mouth move Luo Xin used today greatly shocked you. You clearly understood what that move was and the fact that Luo Xin descended from the sky indicated he possessed the strength of a cultivator. As to how strong he truly was, you had no idea, but at the very least, it was beyond the realm of ordinary human heroes, while you were only slightly stronger than the average person.
