Chapter 152

White Deer Manor, within the estate, houses stood in close succession, orderly and aesthetically placed.

Each estate was dominated by high walls and large courtyards, surrounded by green trees and fragrant grass blooming profusely.

When Cheng Guang arrived at the White Deer Manor with Lin Cheng and many guards, it was already noon.

The Village Head of White Deer Manor, Lv Changshou, seemed to hear some noise from outside the estate and, disregarding the work at hand, hurried to the gate to look out.

With just a glance, he spotted Cheng Guang’s figure.

He immediately hurried forward, walked briskly towards Cheng Guang, and upon reaching him, he bent respectfully and spoke with reverence,

“I’ve seen the Princely Heir.”

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, his gaze swept past Lv Changshou and looked towards Lin Cheng.

“Where is the person?”

Without saying much, Lin Cheng led Cheng Guang towards a building in the distance.

It was a makeshift house built next to a horse stable, with rather rudimentary walls made entirely of wooden stakes and mud.

It seemed to be a small house built by Cheng Liunian himself.

Cheng Guang pushed the door and entered; inside the simple room, there was only a patch of grass mat that seemed slightly moldy.

Cheng Liunian lay on the bed, his face flushed red and his body burning hot.

All over his body, his skin turned red and purple as if burnt by fire, and his forehead was constantly emitting sweat.

However, the sweat evaporated due to Cheng Liunian’s searing body temperature the instant it began to flow, leaving no trace of moisture on his forehead.

At the same time, Cheng Guang also noticed Cheng Liunian’s cracked lips moving slightly, mumbling something indiscernible.

Cheng Guang approached, listening to his murmurs.

“I, I, I am not, not a coachman …”

“Liunian, father, mother …”

“I am the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir …”

Cheng Liunian murmured, struggling as his entire body trembled. The blood flowing beneath his fiery red skin quickened its pace.

At the same time.

A mysterious glow flickered within Cheng Liunian’s body.

It was the light of Divine Power.

Had he truly awakened Divine Power?

What Divine Power had Cheng Liunian awakened?

The memories he had erased were all coming back.

And it wasn’t just those …

It wasn’t just the memories that were returning; something seemed to be birthing within him, a kind of bloodline containing spirituality.

Damn it.

Could it be?

Could a bloodline that was completely drawn out grow back?

Is this some kind of joke?

Cheng Guang truly couldn’t believe that Cheng Liunian’s royal bloodline, after countless tortures, could regenerate unharmed.

This was preposterous.

So, you are the Heaven Emperor, aren’t you?

Feeling a mix of emotions, Cheng Guang no longer hesitated and intended to ask Lin Cheng and the others to step back a distance, so he could cast his restriction.

All of a sudden.

Cheng Liunian, as if sensing something, abruptly opened his eyes.

His eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, looked around the environment upon opening, first in confusion and then filled with boundless fear.

His gaze swept the surroundings, eventually landing on Cheng Guang.

When Cheng Liunian’s eyes met Cheng Guang’s, the fear in them changed to anger and bitterness.

Clenching his teeth, he glared furiously at Cheng Guang, as if the rage in his eyes could erupt at any moment and incinerate Cheng Guang’s entire being.

“You!!”

Cheng Liunian was about to say something with clenched teeth when Cheng Guang didn’t give him the chance to speak.

With a single hand, he reached out and crushed his jaw.

Cheng Liunian let out a scream of pain, his whole body trembling, his muscles spasming.

But even in his agony, he was laughing.

Laughing hysterically.

It seemed he was aware that he had awakened Divine Power.

An inexplicable luster surged throughout his body, and his crushed jaw began to heal visibly to the naked eye.

In just a moment, he was able to speak again.

“You can’t kill me.”

“You can’t kill me.”

“Besides, you don’t dare to kill me!”

“You’d best torture me forever, otherwise, you will surely …!!!”

Cheng Liunian began to speak quickly, but again, Cheng Guang did not wait for him to finish before reaching out to crush his jaw once more.

This time, Cheng Liunian dared not speak again.

Though he could heal, he could not shut out the pain.

Even though his body was healing under the effect of the awakened Bloodline Divine Powers, the pain did not subside.

Damn it!!

Damn it!!!

Damn it!!!!

Cheng Liunian felt full of frustration.

Because he knew, even though he had awakened the Bloodline Divine Powers, he still couldn’t escape Cheng Guang’s grasp.

At least, not for the time being.

But within Cheng Liunian’s heart, hope was still growing.

Because he knew Cheng Guang didn’t dare kill him.

If Cheng Guang killed him, it would immediately cause a supernatural phenomenon, and no one would be able to explain this scene, everyone would know that a royal had died here.

Whether it was Emperor Zhou or the agents of the Bureau of the Lamp, they would send people to investigate.

Once they did, they would quickly discover that the aura within the supernatural phenomenon was his own.

By then, Cheng Guang would not be able to cover up the truth.

And now …

The means by which Cheng Guang controlled him, under the effect of his Divine Power, were no longer very effective.

Even if Cheng Guang erased all his memories again, it wouldn’t be of much use, because his memories would fully recover under the effect of the Divine Power.
