Chapter 1603 Linjiangxian 24
Jiang Xinxin was just staying in the Dragon Palace for a few more days. When she came out, she received the news sent by Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue using magic. She only took a quick look and immediately felt like she was facing a great enemy. She held her head and rushed to where Hua Ruyue was.
But it was too late now. Hua Ruyue had lost her child with Bai Jiusi, and she herself was being put on the fire by angry mortals and was about to be burned to death!
Jiang Xinxin also has very superb secular martial arts skills. She doesn't need to show any magic power at all. She just rushes to the lit fire with her sword in hand, steps on the crowd, and brings Hua Ruyue out in no time.
As for the rioting crowd behind her, she was too lazy to care about it.
Jiang Xinxin went all the way to the depths of the mountains and made sure that it would take those people a long time to catch up. Only then did she stop and put down Hua Ruyue, who was dressed in dirt and had no desire to live.
"Ayue, I've only been a guest in the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea for a month. How could you become like this?!"
It was confirmed that Hua Ruyue had not suffered any obvious physical injuries, but she was too sad and exhausted, which seemed to have hurt her soul. Jiang Xinxin's frown could not relax at all.
Bai Jiusi was not there, and it was obvious that something had happened between him and Hua Ruyue. She did not dare to mention Bai Jiusi rashly, for fear that Hua Ruyue would be upset.
But Hua Ruyue's magic power was sealed by Bai Jiusi. She carried the child alone, gave birth to the child alone, raised the child alone, and watched the child die of the plague helplessly. Now, she was taken away by angry mortals who were desperate and burned to death. She had accumulated too much disappointment and despair. Just by hearing Jiang Xinxin's caring words, tears burst out of her eyes like pearls with a broken string.
At first, Hua Ruyue just kept a straight face and let the tears stream down her face, but when she saw the genuine concern and anxiety in Jiang Xinxin's eyes, she couldn't help but throw herself into Jiang Xinxin's arms and burst into tears.
Hua Ruoyue cried heartbreakingly, as if she wanted to cry out all the negative emotions accumulated in the past ten years. Jiang Xinxin could only stroke her head and back gently, expressing with her actions that she was by her side and she didn't need to be strong anymore.
After a long time, Hua Ruyue felt that she had shed all her tears and could not cry no matter how sad she was. Finally, she was willing to raise her head from Jiang Xinxin's arms and talk about her experiences over the years.
But before that, Jiang Xinxin solemnly apologized to Hua Ruyue: "I'm really sorry, Yue, I forgot that there is a time difference between the Dragon Palace and the mortal world, so I was so engrossed in the Dragon Palace that I didn't see the news from you and Bai Jiusi until I surfaced..."
Because of her momentary negligence, a big mistake has now been made, and she is willing to do her best to make amends.
Seeing Hua Ruyue's current state, she didn't dare to ask what was going on with Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi's child, and just waited for Hua Ruyue to tell her herself.
Hua Ruyue tried hard, but couldn't even curl her lips. Bitterly abandoning her politeness, she said directly, "The last time I sent you a message, I discovered that I seemed to be pregnant. However, I was with Meng Chi's grandson, Meng Changqin, when I found the culprit responsible for the consecutive years of drought in the three northwestern states. I also suggested killing the drought dragon, which violated the rules of heaven and backfired. My situation is very bad..."
Jiang Xinxin took a deep breath and didn't dare to tell Hua Ruyue her guess. She just listened quietly.
Hua Ruyue's face was expressionless, but seeing Jiang Xinxin's increasingly distressed and regretful expression towards her, she felt a little comforted and continued, "Later, Bai Jiusi sealed my cultivation and disappeared. I went through the entire pregnancy with great difficulty and gave birth to my Shi'an with great difficulty. But I never expected Shi'an to die from the plague!"
Hua Ruyue burst into tears when she mentioned Shi'an, "If I still had magic power, I would definitely save Shi'an! My Shi'an will never die!"
Seeing Hua Ruyue so excited, Jiang Xinxin took her in her arms and rushed down the mountain without saying a word. "Let's go find Shi'an. I have magical powers, so I can definitely collect Shi'an's soul. After nourishing it, he will be able to come back!"
Hua Ruoyue was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She had been with Jiang Xinxin for many years and understood Jiang Xinxin's character. If it were any other time, Jiang Xinxin would never take the initiative to mention the matter of collecting souls for nourishment, but she took the initiative to propose collecting Shi'an's soul as soon as they met, which showed that she really cared about their friendship for so many years.
Shi'an died in infancy, and the villagers used him and his mother as an outlet, so they threw Shi'an into a mass grave with just a rolled-up straw mat. Hua Ruyue had no idea where Shi'an was buried, but Jiang Xinxin obviously had a way to find him. She only took Hua Ruyue's tears and quickly found Shi'an's body.
Hua Ruoyue held her breath nervously, fearing that if her breathing was a little louder, it would disturb Shi'an's remaining soul.
However, things were not going well. Just as Jiang Xinxin had guessed early on, although Shi'an was a child who carried the expectations of Heaven, he had also suffered enough hardships. It was not an easy task to collect his residual soul.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinxin can communicate with the Heavenly Dao at any time, and the Heavenly Dao is willing to give her some convenience, allowing Jiang Xinxin to collect several residual souls. However, the other residual souls have dissipated, and it will take a lot of effort to nourish them. Obviously, it is not a price that Hua Ruyue can afford now.
Jiang Xinxin had quite a few soul-nourishing wood and soul-nourishing bottles in her hands. Hua Ruyue looked at the bright and dark stars on her fingertips with ecstasy and couldn't help crying with joy.
Jiang Xinxin quickly selected a suitable soul-nourishing bottle from the space to collect Shi'an's remaining soul, and then took a suitable red rope to seal the soul-nourishing bottle, hung it around Hua Ruyue's neck, and stuffed it into her clothes.
He also warned seriously: "This soul-nourishing bottle is a little gadget I made myself. I don't know how long it can nourish the ten spirits. You must take good care of it and don't let anything unexpected happen. If that happens, I won't be able to do anything!"
Hua Ruoyue's magic power was only sealed, and the backlash on her soul had not been healed. Her eyesight was still good. She touched the small bulge under her clothes. This soul-nourishing bottle was obviously far from being a common item. It was even a rare treasure in the heavenly realm.
Even though the heavens have no shortage of treasures that can nourish the soul, there are not many of them. The number of gods who can possess them may not be limited, but they are not many either.
Hua Ruoyue and Bai Jiusi have extraordinary origins. They are the first batch of innate creatures under the throne of the God of Hongmeng. Naturally, they possess countless spiritual treasures, including treasures that nourish the soul, but now they can't take out any of them.
Hua Ruyue was so excited that her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Yuan Xin, thank you!"
"If you had arrived in time, I can't believe what I would have encountered. Perhaps I wouldn't even be able to collect Shi'an's remaining soul, and I would have been left with nothing but Shi'an remaining in my memory..."
