Chapter 222: Death Tribulation Prophecy
More than a year had passed, and Xiao Qi never came looking for her again. She didn't know if Quan Jin had grounded it or if it had forgotten about her, its mother…
Quan Jin wouldn't have really found it a stepmother, would he?
When there are more men and children, there are more happy things, but also more worrying things.
One Quan Jin, one Fei Yuan.
Neither of these two is easy to deal with!
"Alright, don't think so much, let's sleep first."
Lan Cang took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to her.
This heavy bag… Sang Luo knew what was inside.
Every time she came to his place, the first thing she did at night was definitely handing over her salary.
Lan Cang had earned a lot of money in the past few years, at least half of which had gone into her mouth, to raise her children.
Sang Luo happily counted the King-tier crystal stones in the bag, countless, simply countless.
If she also had a tail, it would have been wagging high in the sky long ago.
No matter when or in what world, money is the best comfort for the soul!
"Money grubber."
Lan Cang tapped the tip of her nose.
……
She stayed in the Northern Continent for almost half a month, properly celebrating the New Year.
That day, after Sang Luo finished dinner, she received a message from the conch—it seemed that the old Beast Emperor of the Northern Sea had emerged from seclusion.
She went to the Northern Sea for the appointment.
Ji Li Jun had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing her coming, he glanced behind him and smiled with curved eyebrows, "Little beauty came alone?"
"What? You wouldn't possibly want to make a move, would you? We have made an oath to the Heavenly Dao."
"I wouldn't bear to make a move against you."
Ji Li Jun put one hand behind his back and made a gesture of invitation with the other.
"Please come in. The old man has arrived long ago.
By the way, did you bring the Reincarnation Pill?"
Sang Luo nodded and entered the main hall.
On the high seat, sat an old man wearing a gold-patterned black robe.
Having been in the Beast World for many years, Sang Luo rarely saw dying old people.
The higher the realm of the beastmen she came into contact with, the longer their lifespan, and their appearance was as young as possible.
But the beastman in front of her was so old that it was unbelievable.
The gorgeous clothes could not hide his hunched and withered figure.
His face and the exposed skin of his hands were wrinkled and drooping like an old tree.
Even in the human world, he would be a centenarian.
A beastman at the peak of the Emperor Realm had a lifespan of seven or eight thousand years.
It seemed that this old Beast Emperor was about to live to the end of his years.
Sang Luo felt solemn in her heart.
This was really an old antique.
She stepped forward and saluted, "I am Sang Luo, paying respects to the Old Beast Emperor of the Northern Sea."
"Noble female doesn't need to be so polite.
You and I are equal in this transaction, so there's no need for these formalities."
The old Beast Emperor waved his hand and invited her to sit down, "My name is Ji Hua, just call me by my name."
"Thank you, Senior Ji Hua."
Sang Luo sat on the chair to his left.
Ji Hua looked old and dragon-like, but his eyes were not cloudy, but rather revealed a shrewd light.
He amiably sized up Sang Luo, "You look very young, do you really have the Reincarnation Pill?
I wonder if you could take it out and let me have a look?"
"Of course."
Sang Luo took it out for him to inspect.
"This, it's real!"
The moment Ji Hua saw the Reincarnation Pill, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't even speak.
Where was the appearance of an old Beast Emperor who had lived for more than half a myriad of years!
"I wonder if Senior is willing to trade?"
"Of course! Of course!
Keep this Reincarnation Pill for me, and don't give it to anyone else!"
"Listening to Senior's meaning, I have to wait for some time?"
"I won't hide it from you, little friend.
My clan's talent is at the cost of sacrificing lifespan.
To completely resurrect a person, at least several hundred years of lifespan must be sacrificed…"
Ji Hua sighed weakly, "And I only have a few years of lifespan left now, so I can't support myself to complete a talent use.
I must wait until after the breakthrough to realize your wish."
"Then Senior's meaning is that I have to give you this Reincarnation Pill first, to help you break through, and then you can help me do things?"
Ji Hua smiled, "Little friend doesn't believe in me?"
"……"
Pay first and then get the money later.
There's a risk.
With Ji Li Jun's behavior in front, Sang Luo didn't believe that Ji Hua was a great benevolent person, let alone that he was already at the peak of the Emperor Beast.
After the breakthrough, the supreme realm would be difficult to match.
No one she knew could compare, what if he wanted to take it all and break the contract…
"Please, Senior, make an oath to Heaven and Earth with me to ensure that the transaction can be completed smoothly."
"Okay."
After the two made an oath to Heaven and Earth, Sang Luo handed over everything together.
"Little friend, you have really helped me a lot."
Ji Hua said gratefully, "How about I give you a divination?"
"Senior Ji Hua can also do divination?"
"The older the old guys like me are, the more we understand the secrets of heaven.
I can't say that my divination is accurate, but it's accurate three or four times out of ten.
Little friend can take it as a joke, or as a warning."
"Then please Senior Ji Hua to divine a hexagram for me."
Ji Li Jun took out a simple and unsophisticated tortoise shell, put a few copper coins into it, recited obscure and difficult-to-understand spells, shook it a few times in his hand, and then sprinkled the copper coins on the table…
Sang Luo also looked at the movement, but unfortunately she couldn't understand the hexagram, but found that Ji Hua's face was extremely horrified!
"What's wrong? Senior, did you see something?"
"How could it be like this… Your lifespan is only three months left."
Sang Luo stood up from the chair with a bang, "Senior, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Isn't her lifespan at least a thousand years?
"I didn't see it wrong.
The hexagram is clear, three months later, your lifespan line suddenly interrupts and disappears, this is a sign of death!"
Ji Hua changed to a gentler statement, "Death tribulation is not impossible to resolve, but there are very few people who can resolve it.
Whether you can survive depends on fate."
Sang Luo's whole body felt cold.
After a long time, she said again, "Senior, can you divine another hexagram for me to see what this so-called death tribulation is all about, where it happened, and who did it, so that I can try to avoid it."
"Little friend, have you ever heard a saying, the secrets of heaven must not be revealed.
Although I can glimpse the secrets of heaven, I cannot reveal them."
Ji Hua put away the tortoise shell and copper coins and said to Sang Luo, "Little friend, don't worry too much.
The hexagram is changing every moment, maybe there will be new opportunities tomorrow, besides, my divination is not accurate, most of the time it is used for recreation and amusement."
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Ji Hua got up and came over, took out a slender black rope engraved with runes, and tied it to her wrist, "I am destined to be with little friend, so I will give you one more thing.
This Heavenly Fate Rope will break immediately one moment before you encounter the death tribulation.
If you can avoid it in time, maybe you can avoid this death tribulation."
"Thank you, Senior!"
After Sang Luo returned to the Northern Continent, she returned to the Marquis Mansion with Si Ye.
This time when she came back, she always felt that when she was alone, someone was secretly watching… This kind of unknown lurking in the dark made people feel instinctively dangerous and panic.
Could it be that the prophesied death tribulation is this?
But she couldn't find anything with her mental power.
Sang Luo tossed and turned for several nights and didn't sleep well.
Si Ye noticed her strangeness and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Luo Luo?
Are you feeling unwell these days?"
