Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#158 - Yueyao's Secret

Yan Qingcheng continued to examine Yue Yao's body.

Having discovered many incredible things, her curiosity about this little girl had risen to the extreme, and she wanted to discover more of her uniqueness.

Gradually, she saw a sealed door within her sea of consciousness.

"This is… a memory gate?"

She was surprised and uncertain, wondering if this little girl's memories had been sealed away.

Could she possibly be the reincarnation of some great figure from the upper realm?

Thinking of this, her heart raced, and she carefully considered that perhaps this was the only explanation for why she possessed such a terrifying Dao Fruit and why her flesh and blood contained life energy that shouldn't exist in this world!

When she explored Yue Yao's Wheel of Life, she was stunned.

Every living being in the world has a Wheel of Life.

However, martial artists need to cultivate to the Grandmaster realm to see their own Wheel of Life.

The Wheel of Life is the core of life essence and can be said to be the source of life.

It resembles a roulette wheel, and over the years, it leaves traces, much like the rings of a tree.

Every year a living being grows older, a mark is left on the Wheel of Life.

The little girl's Wheel of Life actually had twenty-one marks!

This meant that her true age was not the five or six years she appeared to be, but twenty-one!

"How could this be? It seems she is not the reincarnation of a great figure from the upper realm! If it were reincarnation, many traces of the previous life, besides the Dao Fruit, would be erased, and she couldn't possibly retain the marks of life…"

Yan Qingcheng felt that things were further exceeding her understanding.

If she wasn't the reincarnation of a great figure from the upper realm,

then what exactly was Yue Yao's situation?

She was clearly a twenty-one-year-old young woman, so how could she have become a little girl, her memories sealed, and without a heart!

"Why did she become like this? What happened? And where did she come from? She definitely couldn't have been born in Qingyang Town; it simply doesn't make sense!"

"Yan Qingcheng, how is Yao'er?"

Jun Wuxie had been paying attention to her expression, fearing that Yue Yao's condition was uncontrollable.

Seeing her expression constantly changing, his heart sank, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

Yan Qingcheng's thoughts were interrupted, and she composed herself, saying, "Her situation is a bit bad, but with my true energy, I can forcibly suppress it, at least ensuring she'll be fine for a month."

"Really?"

Jun Wuxie's hanging heart fell, and he deeply exhaled, feeling much lighter.

"Don't be too happy. Your sister's condition is very special. If there isn't a long-term solution, relying solely on true energy to suppress it won't work."

Yan Qingcheng's expression was solemn, and she said, "Previously, your sect seniors used true energy to suppress it for a period of time.

Now, only someone in the Sovereign Realm can suppress it.

When my true energy is no longer effective, even the Holy Sect's arrival will probably be useless."

"What do you mean?"

Jun Wuxie's heart sank.

"I mean, the fire poison and cold poison within her will only become more and more difficult to suppress.

Now, a Sovereign Realm expert can suppress it, but next time, even if the Holy Sect comes, it will be useless."

"The people from the Medicine King Sect should have a solution."

Jun Wuxie said this, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

He wasn't sure if the Medicine King Sect could completely cure Yue Yao's illness.

Yan Qingcheng didn't continue the topic. Could the people from the Medicine King Sect cure Yue Yao?

If it was just an illness, she believed they certainly could.

But Yue Yao's problem wasn't an illness.

If she wasn't mistaken, it was caused by the absence of a heart.

"Is she really your biological sister? Do you know everything about her from birth to the present?"

Yan Qingcheng said this, although she already had an answer in her heart, she still wanted to get a definite response.

"No, we are not biological siblings…"

Jun Wuxie recounted his past experiences.

As expected…

However, Yan Qingcheng still didn't understand why Yue Yao had become like this.

How did she end up following Jun Wuxie's father back to the Xiao family back then?

And from then on, she worked hard to take care of Jun Wuxie and was so attached to him.

"What exactly did you see?" Jun Wuxie looked at Yan Qingcheng hopefully, saying, "That old bald donkey…"

"The information in his sea of consciousness is all true…"

Yan Qingcheng sighed, and her heart suddenly softened, feeling inexplicably sorry for these siblings.

Jun Wuxie's body trembled violently, and he fell silent.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Yue Yao grabbed his hand, sensing that he was in a bad mood and seemed to be worried.

"I'm fine." Jun Wuxie immediately adjusted his state of mind, smiling gently and patting her hand affectionately, saying, "When the people from the Medicine King Sect come, Yao'er will be completely cured."

Hearing this, Yue Yao smiled brightly, saying, "Yao'er knows that her illness is difficult to cure, but Yao'er is very satisfied that Brother is so good to her."

"Yao'er isn't afraid of death…" Her eyes gradually dimmed, and moisture filled her eyes, "But… but Yao'er can't bear to leave, can't bear to leave Brother alone in this world, can't bear to leave Brother sad when he thinks of Yao'er…"

"What silly things are you saying?" Jun Wuxie smiled, scratching her little nose, saying, "How could Brother be alone in the world? Wherever Yao'er is, Brother is.

I will accompany you to the ends of the earth and will never leave Yao'er."

"But… but if Brother is like this, Sister Yinlan will be very sad…"

Jun Wuxie gently stroked her face, saying, "Yao'er must remember that in Brother's heart, no one can ever compare to you.

For you, Brother can give up anyone, anything, even if it means being enemies with the whole world!"

Yue Yao cried, throwing herself into his arms and sobbing.

"Alright, Yao'er, don't cry anymore, or you'll become a little flower cat." Jun Wuxie stroked her hair, "Now let Sister Qingcheng treat you, and then we'll go back to Sect King Mountain, okay?"

"Yeah." Yue Yao raised her tear-stained face, saying, "Yao'er misses Uncle Mu and Grandpa Jiu."

"You guys go out first."

Yan Qingcheng said to Jun Wuxie and Su Lan, then took off her purple embroidered shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked solemn.

"Yao'er is entrusted to you. I, Jun Wuxie, will remember this kindness and will definitely repay it in the future!"

He bowed to Yan Qingcheng before leaving the room.

Yan Qingcheng stared blankly at his back.

This proud young man was bowing his head in front of her for the first time, but it was for this little girl.

However, hearing the words "in the future," her face couldn't help but turn red.

An expression of hating him so much that her teeth itched.

In the courtyard, Su Lan looked at Jun Wuxie somewhat uneasily, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you have such a strange expression?"

"Young Master, I concealed my identity. Are you not angry with me?" Su Lan felt a little flustered. For some reason, she was very afraid that Jun Wuxie would be angry. After all, she was from the Medicine King Sect, and Jun Wuxie had always been looking for a highly skilled physician.

"These are not important…" Jun Wuxie shook his head, saying, "Su Lan, tell me the truth. How is the medical skill of the physician you contacted within your sect?"

"This…"

Su Lan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

How was the Holy Maiden's medical skill?

To be honest, the Holy Maiden's cultivation was in the Star Sea Realm, not yet at the Grandmaster Realm, and the Primal Chaos True Energy she cultivated couldn't compare to the sect elders.

However, if the Holy Maiden truly mastered the Primal Beginning Nine Needles, which no one had ever been able to cultivate before, then it would be hard to say.

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Jun Wuxie immediately said solemnly, "I need the strongest medical practitioner in your Medicine King Sect, preferably your Sect Master in person!"

"Young Master, your request…"

Su Lan was stunned. She had grown up in the Medicine King Sect and had only seen the Sect Master a few times.

How could the master of a sect possibly come in person to treat someone in a small place like the Great Zhou Capital?

"Is my request too much?" Jun Wuxie said confidently, "It's not too much at all.

If you can't invite your Sect Master, it's just that the bargaining chip isn't enough.

As long as the reward is generous, he will naturally come!"

Su Lan was very shocked to hear this, "Young Master, do you perhaps have something that would tempt our Sect Master?"

Before Jun Wuxie could answer, Su Lan immediately shook her head, saying, "Even if Young Master really has it, this matter still can't be decided rashly.

To be honest, I'm just an elite disciple in the sect.

I haven't seen the Sect Master a few times since I was a child, and I don't know much about the Sect Master.

I'm worried that Yao'er's current situation will lead to unexpected complications…"

Jun Wuxie was stunned.

Su Lan was actually questioning her sect master for him and Yue Yao?

Her meaning was very clear, which was that she was worried that the Sect Master would have other ideas after discovering Yue Yao's secret.

"Young Master, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore.

The physician I contacted is the Holy Maiden of our Medicine King Sect.

If she comes, she must be confident. If she's not confident, she won't come."

"Since you say so, then let's do that for now."

Jun Wuxie thought carefully. He was actually afraid of unexpected complications, but he was worried that the physician Su Lan invited wouldn't be able to completely cure Yue Yao, so he wanted to risk inviting the Medicine King Sect Master.
