Chapter 1057: Bloodline Awakening
Ye Zichen collapsed into Xue Honghong's arms. He couldn't help but feel bitter inside. From start to finish, everything had gone well. It was just that "lecher" at the end that made him feel terrible.
He couldn't blame her. After all, the two of them hadn't even exchanged names.
On the whole, it was perfect.
When the roof collapsed, Elder Che and his subordinates' hearts pounded. That was especially true of the scream from inside the woodshed. They were terrified that something would happen to Xue Honghong in the sea of flames.
As the flames subsided, some of the people outside ran in.
"First Miss."
Xue Honghong's crimson clothes glowed with light. She was obviously wearing an extraordinary protective artifact. As the sea of flames burned, her face was covered in soot. She held Ye Zichen, who was pretending to be dead, tightly in her arms. Step by step, she made her way outside.
"Out of the way!"
Xue Honghong's expression was grave. Her subordinates didn't dare disobey. They hurriedly made way. When they saw Ye Zichen in her arms, the attendants' expressions grew strange.
"First Miss, what are you doing?"
When he saw this, Elder Che knit his brows and roared in anger. Xue Honghong was an unmarried young lady, yet she was holding a man in her arms. What was going on?
"Out of the way."
She spoke in that same unquestionable tone. Elder Che was just about to say something, but suddenly felt an oppressive pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.
Suddenly, he looked at the space between Xue Honghong's brows and saw a golden flame slowly burning in the center of her brows.
"Bloodline awakening."
This was the unique power of Xue Honghong's family's bloodline. It was a special ability possessed by all peak bloodlines of the god race. The earlier one awakened their bloodline, the greater their talent.
Mortal, Profound, Earth, Sky, King!
Normally, their clan's bloodline awakened before the age of sixteen. For example, Xue Beibei had awakened her bloodline when she was nine. A heaven-grade bloodline!
Her talent was so shocking that even the clan's elders fought over her to accept her as a disciple.
Xue Honghong was an anomaly. Ever since she was a child, she'd displayed cultivation talent that far surpassed her peers. Quite a few of the clan's elders were certain that she'd be the first to awaken her bloodline, and that she'd have a heaven-grade bloodline at the very least.
To everyone's surprise, even after her sixteenth birthday, her bloodline hadn't awakened.
Gradually, the people in the clan lost interest in her. No matter how amazing she was in the past, if she did not awaken her bloodline, her future achievements would be limited.
She'd left the Divine Mountains and gone to the seventy-two districts, and taken over the clan's Skyspan Trading Company.
This kind of decision was actually not much different from being abandoned by the clan. However, what was even more surprising was that even though she had not awakened her bloodline, her cultivation speed was getting faster and faster.
He had become a Celestial Immortal at the age of nineteen. He was considered one of the hundred people who had become a Celestial Immortal before the age of twenty, and all of them had awakened their bloodline before the age of twelve, and their bloodline was above the Earth rank.
Xue Honghong was now twenty-four years old and a mid-stage Sky Immortal.
Even though it seemed slow to advance to the Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Stage in five years, one must know that an ordinary person might not even be able to take a step forward in ten years.
More importantly, she had awakened her bloodline at the age of twenty-four!
Elder Che, who was standing in front of Xue Honghong, was so shocked that he was speechless. Her bloodline awakening at the age of twenty-four meant that she had broken the norm that had been passed down for millions of years. Furthermore, the flame on her forehead was golden!
Common grade was white, Mystic grade was red, Earth grade was blue, and Heaven grade was purple!
A legendary king-grade bloodline!
A legendary king-grade bloodline?!
If it really was a king-grade bloodline, then he couldn't control her as an outer managing elder. Not to mention him, even the elders in the clan would not dare to say a word of no to her!
"Out of the way!"
Another deep rebuke rang out. This time, Elder Che didn't dare tarry. He hurriedly stepped aside and bowed deeply to Xue Honghong.
"First Miss, please!"
She indifferently walked over to the spot that Elder Che had opened up for her, but she stopped after taking a few steps. She indifferently glanced at Elder Che, who was still bowing deeply, as golden flames burned in her eyes.
"Have the clan send the best doctors and the best life-prolonging pills to see me."
"Yes."
When he saw the golden flames, Elder Che's heart trembled. He bowed respectfully, and Xue Honghong floated away, not bothering to look at him.
Only when Xue Honghong was out of sight did Elder Che straighten up. By now, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
The pressure was simply too strong. Even though she was a great circle Heavenly Immortal, she still felt extremely strained under this pressure.
This was the pressure of a king-grade bloodline!
"You …."
Suppressing his shock, Elder Che frowned at his subordinates and shouted, "I'll be returning to the clan in a moment.
"I will return to the clan in a while. From now on, you must ensure the safety of the First Miss and the Third Miss. Even if you die, you must not let the First Miss get hurt, not even a drop of blood or a strand of hair. Do you understand?"
Even if his subordinates didn't know what had happened, they all sensed the gravity of the situation.
"Yes, sir!"
Elder Che glanced at his subordinates, then spared no expense of his lifespan. He left several seals in the courtyard, then took out a jade pendant, crushed it, and vanished from the world.
Creak.
Ye Zichen was still lying in Xue Honghong's arms, playing dead. When he heard the sound of a door, he felt himself land on a soft bed.
He stealthily inhaled a few breaths of the air around him. The entire room was filled with a faint fragrance. This arousing fragrance was no different from Xue Honghong's.
"I'm actually lying in that woman's bed?"
Ye Zichen was astonished, but he didn't dare let it show. He was currently playing dead, so he absolutely couldn't let the cat out of the bag. However, just now, he seemed to have heard Xue Honghong send for the best doctor and the best pills ….
Pills were no problem. Eating them would definitely be harmless.
But if the doctor came, wouldn't the cat be out of the bag?
He had to find an opportunity to come back from the dead!
He'd gone to great lengths to put on this show. If a doctor ruined it, he'd lose more than he'd gained.
What he couldn't understand was this: even if that woman really wanted to save him, there was no need to go this far, was there? She'd even brought him to her bedroom. Could it be that she'd truly fallen in love with him?
Or perhaps it was just as he'd said: the moment they'd first met, she'd already secretly fallen for him. She wanted to use this opportunity to ….
Huh?
How could he allow her to ruin his reputation like that?
But then he thought about it. He was currently playing dead. If he resisted, he'd be exposed.
Forget it. If he really couldn't do it, he'd just give in to her. He was a man, after all!
A true hero was someone who could bow and submit when necessary.
However, he hadn't expected Xue Honghong's voice to come at this moment.
