Seeing her "father" for the first time, Jun Wu Xie felt very conflicted.
If Jun Qing had turned into a pile of bones, she might not have felt anything. But looking at the face that looked so similar to her own, Jun Wu Xie found it hard to see him as a person of the past.
"Let me take a look." Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Gu's face and brushed away the complicated emotions in her heart. There was no such thing as embalming in this era. Jun Qing had been dead for ten years, and was buried underground. He should have turned into a pile of bones by now, but he looked like he had just died.
Jun Qing immediately gave way to Jun Wu Xie. He did not know when it started, but he had gotten used to trusting Jun Wu Xie's words.
Jun Wu Xie examined Jun Gu's body carefully. Jun Gu had no heartbeat or pulse, and his body was cold. He was definitely dead, but Jun Wu Xie found something unusual.
Jun Gu's flesh was very soft, and his limbs did not show any signs of stiffness. This did not match the time of his death. Jun Gu looked like he had just died.
Ten years, and his body had not decayed, and his limbs were not stiff. It was hard to understand.
Jun Gu's body did not show any abnormalities, then …..
Jun Wu Xie's gaze turned to the beautiful piece of jade in Jun Gu's mouth. If she was not mistaken, that should be the Soul Jade.
For the Qing Yun Clan to mobilize so many people to come personally to retrieve it, it could not be anything ordinary.
Could it be, the reason Jun Gu's body had not decayed was because of the Soul Jade?
Jun Wu Xie's hand slowly touched the Soul Jade.
The cold smooth Soul Jade slid past her fingertips, and suddenly, a strange power surged from her fingertips into Jun Wu Xie's mind.
Her mind exploded with a loud bang and all her thoughts were dispelled by the overwhelming power.
The powerful pulling force was tugging at her soul, and there seemed to be a giant whirlpool within her, trying to absorb her soul!
"Meow!!" The black beast's screams pierced her eardrums!
Unspeakable pain was spreading through her body!
"Wu Xie!" Jun Qing suddenly saw Jun Wu Xie's face contorted in pain. She seemed to have lost all her strength, and fell backwards.
Jun Qing immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms.
In the instant that her fingertip separated from the Soul Jade, the pulling force immediately disappeared. Jun Wu Xie lay in Jun Qing's arms, gasping for breath. Her eyes were slightly widened. Everything that had happened earlier, had left a lingering fear in her heart.
The feeling of losing control of one's soul, the agony of feeling as if one's soul would be sucked out in the next second, was something that Jun Wu Xie had never experienced before.
It had only been a short moment of contact, but it had already made Jun Wu Xie feel weak all over. Sweat had soaked through her clothes and her delicate little face was pale, without any colour.
Jun Xian and Jun Qing were scared out of their wits.
"Wu Xie, what's wrong?" Jun Xian's heart clenched. Just a moment ago, he was still perfectly fine, how did he suddenly become like this? Jun Xian suddenly thought of Jun Wu Xie's actions earlier. He looked at the coffin, his eyes fixed on the Soul Jade in Jun Gu's mouth.
This had happened to Jun Wu Xie after she touched the Soul Jade. Could it be that the Soul Jade really had some special ability?
Jun Xian looked at his granddaughter's pale face, and then looked at his son's lifelike corpse in the coffin. He reached his hand out towards the Soul Jade.
"Grandfather, no!" Jun Wu Xie clutched at her chest and screamed.
…
Jun Wu Xie's father was dead, it was impossible for him to still be alive after being buried for ten years.
