Chongxi's idiotic prince is married on behalf of his concubine

Chapter 139 Devouring (2)
Ji Yan seemed surprised by Hua Chao's words, a look of surprise flashed quickly in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "Is it just because of this?"

"Otherwise? Do you think Dongfang Sheng will have unreasonable thoughts about his enemy?" Seeing the astonished expression on her face, Hua Chao raised his eyebrows very slowly, and said sneeringly: "You're too smart , it’s not a good thing after all!”

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, looked at Ji Yan again, and asked jokingly: "I heard that there were quite a few women who liked to linger around Dongfang Sheng, but later, those women were dead. It was because of the illness, or some other accident happened. After that, gradually, no one dared to approach him again. Could it be that these... are all your masterpieces?"

Ji Yan didn't answer, her eyes became colder.

In Hua Chao's view, his reaction was almost tacit consent.Hua Chao shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help sighing inwardly: "It's really scary to be jealous, especially this kind of pervert!"

After a while, Hua Chaocai looked at him seriously again, and asked, "Are you from the Wu Clan?"

Ji Yan thought for a while and replied, "Yes, and no."

"Huh? How do you say that?" Hua Chao looked at him puzzled.

Ji Yan lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly opened her mouth, "My mother was originally a priest of the Wu tribe. Since hundreds of years ago, after the women of the Wu tribe lost their witchcraft inheritance, the entire Wu tribe migrated to a hidden place. But later, because the number of women increased and the number of men decreased, the clan allowed women to enter the world and marry freely. And it was after entering the world that my mother met my father and married him."

After a pause, Ji Yan continued: "It's just that the witch tribe has an unwritten rule for those women who marry outside the tribe. Because now only men can inherit witchcraft, and there have been fewer and fewer men over the years. , the clan will not let any inheritors wander outside. Therefore, once these women give birth to a boy baby, they must take it back into the clan. But after giving birth to me, my mother couldn't bear to let it go I lied to them that I was giving birth to a baby girl. And I began to live in the world as a girl. Although the Wu people didn't know my real existence, my mother always taught me about the witch. clan things until she dies."

Because of this, she has always regarded herself as a real girl since she was very young, until she gradually became aware of men and women, and it was too late for him to react.

Hua Chao listened quietly, and realized that it was not just their beast-riding clan that had this traditional rule, even the witch clan had it.The women of the beast control clan can also freely marry with people outside the clan, but after giving birth, they must be brought back to the clan for upbringing, and she herself is the best example of this.

However, she never met a mother who loved her children as much as Ji Yan.

A smile that was half self-deprecating and half sad floated on Hua Chao's lips, and then quickly returned to normal. Looking at Ji Yan, the two began to ask and answer.

"The sword you hurt me last time belonged to the Witch Clan?"

"Yes, because my mother passed away very early, it was a relic she left me, and the witch power is hidden on the sword."

"How did you know my identity?"

"Actually, I didn't know it at the beginning. It's just that every time I stand with you, the blood in my body will surge, and I have an indescribable feeling, so I guess that you may also be the kind of person with special abilities It was purely by accident that I carried the sword with me before, but after seeing that it could restrain you, I thought it was very strange, so I came back and looked through the handbook left by my mother, and then I understood it .”

Hua Chao narrowed his eyes, and finally asked the most crucial question: "So, how can I unlock the witch power in my body now?"

Ji Yan hesitated, "I...don't know."

Hua Chao looked directly at him, rather aggressively: "You really don't know?"

Ji Yan clearly felt the pressure from Hua Chao. She sat upright in the swaying candlelight with a firm and indifferent expression.

Ji Yan's eyes dodged slightly, but she finally chose to speak, "I really don't know, but there are some records in my mother's handbook. If you want to know, I'll just show you."

Hua Chao nodded, expressing his satisfaction with his appearance of knowing the current affairs.

Ji Yan walked to a wall, turned on the switch, took out a large ebony box from the hidden compartment, and placed it on the table in front of Hua Chao.

Hua Chao got up slowly, took the two notebooks out of the ebony box, and began to read them.

She looked at it for a long time, and the pupils in the dark eyes became darker, but she couldn't see any emotion. She looked up at Ji Yan again and asked, "Is there any other record?"

"Not anymore." Ji Yan shook her head.

Hua Chao frowned slightly, there really wasn't much record about this matter in these letters, and there was no way to unseal witchcraft.only……

At the beginning, because the beast-controlling clan fell too early in this world, and the witch clan experienced another great migration, all the things related to the beast-controlling clan were left behind when the whole clan migrated. Therefore, the understanding of the Beast Controlling Clan was weakened.

This also means that if Hua Chao wants to decipher the witch power in his body and restore the ability to control beasts, he must first find the place where the witch clan lived before they migrated.

But how to find this place?

Just as Hua Chao was wondering, she saw a piece of letterhead sandwiched in the current page of the notebook. She shook it open and saw that it was a map.

This map is not exhaustive, but a rough outline of a template. Hua Chao looked at a spot marked with thick cinnabar ink on it, and a strange totem was drawn beside it, which was the hilt of Tong Jiyan's sword. same symbol as above.

Her brows couldn't help but frowned even deeper, the corners of her lips pursed, and she wondered: "It's such a coincidence that it's on the border of the West Lin Kingdom?"

She wasn't confused for long, so she folded the map and put it in her sleeve.

Seeing that the purpose of coming here to find Ji Yan had been achieved, she waved her hand at Ji Yan, turned around and prepared to leave: "Okay, let's call it a night."

Seeing that she was leaving so easily, Ji Yan was quite surprised, and stopped immediately, "You haven't told me, how did you know the secret about me?"

After Hua Chao heard this, he stopped in front of the door, looked back at him, with the corners of his mouth half hooked, and pulled out a weird smile, "It's all thanks to you coming here to kill me that night. Since you can , the body responds, then I will naturally feel for you." This is probably human nature, when encountering an enemy, the body nerves will involuntarily send out warnings.
