C449 bleeding

"If I'm not mistaken, the treasure map that the merchant house has is the core of the treasure map, as well as the hiding place of the treasure." Xie Qingrong guessed from Shang Zhiqing's answer.

"Yes." Shang Zhiqing nodded and continued, "According to the previous biographies of the Shang Clan's Book Collection Vault, every single Holy Maiden was actually a candidate to be the successor to the Ancient Kingdom. And the person who can make the metazoan flower blossom is the destined one. "

"Only the fated person can break the curse of the Ancient Kingdom for the past hundred years. The elders of the Shang family have been waiting for the appearance of the true successor. "

Her beautiful face had a calm and elegant expression the entire time, but underneath that faint look was hidden an endless amount of sorrow.

"In that case, do you think that I am the fated one?" Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows and asked.

However, he did not care much about it. The so-called prophecies, the rumors, the truths and lies, what was the truth behind it all? Who knows.

Even if she was destined, she definitely wouldn't stay in the Shang family. She still had more important things to do. Thinking about that, Xie Qingrong's gaze turned to Xuanyuan Chen.

As the sunlight fell upon him, Xuanyuan Chen gave a slight smile, and his phoenix eyes that held a smile, became filled with countless specks of light.

"I don't know if big sister is destined for this, but other than me, big sister is the second person to possess the Ancient Kingdom's bloodline. I have to bring my sister here to try and see if the prophecy is real or fake. "

Shang Zhiqing said indifferently. Behind him, the metazoan flower on the cliff had bloomed flowers.

"What should I do?" Since she had already followed Shang Zhiqing to this place, no matter what the final result would be, she would still give it a try.

Responsibility had always been pressing down on Shang Zhiqing's shoulders, and she had never seen the slightest bit of it escaping. If not for this, she would not have always maintained a faintly discernible distance from Shen Haoxuan.

It wasn't easy for him to think of a solution, but because of his responsibilities, he couldn't spend too much time with Shen Haoxuan.

In the end, he was still a person who suffered a bitter life.

Shang Zhiqing stepped on the moist soil on the ground, as though she was trying to decide what to do. After stepping for a long time, she finally stepped into a strange place.

He wrapped his hands in a handkerchief and pulled away the dirt that he had stepped on just now. He found what looked like a guide pipe. There was a funnel on top of the guide pipe.

Shang Zhiqing wiped away all the soil at the edge of the funnel. Closing her eyes, she opened her mouth, but her expression showed that she could not bear to do so.

After a long period of silence, he finally opened his eyes. When he opened them again, the pain and struggle that had flashed through his eyes before had already disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of determination.

Taking a deep breath, she pretended to be cold and said, "Elder sister, cut open the hand on your wrist and put your blood in." As he spoke, he brought the funnel closer to Xie Qingrong's wrist.

But, in the next moment, his own wrist was grabbed by Xuanyuan Chen, and with a slight force, the pain from his wrist reached his heart.

Shang Zhiqing furrowed her brows, looked at Xuanyuan Chen in puzzlement, and coldly asked: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Shang Zhiqing's twisted expression due to the pain, Shen Haoxuan fiercely pulled Shang Zhiqing's hand out of his palm, and unconsciously scolded him: "Chen, what are you doing?"

Everything was fine, why did they want to harm Shang Zhiqing?

Xuanyuan Chen expressionlessly glanced at Shen Haoxuan, and his gaze landed on the tubing beneath the funnel, his expression somewhat displeased.

"Since you are A Rong's younger sister, you are also my younger sister. But I can't let A Rong bleed for no reason. I hope you can tell me the truth, how much blood does A Rong need to bleed in order for it to be enough? "

The moment Xuanyuan Chen's voice fell, Xie Qingrong also looked at him with slight suspicion. Shang Zhiqing had to bear the enormous pressure from the three's gaze.

She licked her lips and said, "I don't even know how much blood I'll have to bleed. At first, I had to put in nearly half of my blood to be able to keep the metazoan flower in its bud. If elder sister were to bleed, she would definitely replace the blood that I had once poured into her. "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll need a lot more …"

Saying that, Shang Zhiqing could not help but swallow her saliva. She took out two pills from her bosom: "These are Blood Replenishing Pills, they were made using ten different precious herbs, a total of two pills. If elder sister feels that there is anything wrong with this pill after letting the blood come out, then take this pill immediately. "

After he had finished, he lowered his eyes as if he could not bear to do so, but also wanted to escape.

Actually, she did not tell Xie Qingrong everything. The reason why she was able to refine the Blood Replenishing Pill was because she was worried that Xie Qingrong would not have enough blood on him. After all, to exchange for her blood, she would need half of the blood on Xie Qingrong's body.

No one could afford the risk.

However, the arrow was already in the bow, so he had no choice but to fire.

Xie Qingrong took the two blood recovery pills from Shang Zhiqing's opened palm and laughed lightly as she looked at the red blood recovery pill.

The color of this pill was indeed worthy of its name, it was rather fitting for the occasion.

His gaze gradually shifted from the guide tube to the metazoan flower s on the cliff. As he silently calculated in his heart, Xuanyuan Chen held Xie Qingrong in his arms and accompanied him in silence.

Xie Qingrong's finger lightly swiped across her wrist, and a small wound immediately appeared. Blood droplets scrambled out of the wound.

Drops of blood dripped down from the funnel. Following the direction of the tube's extension, the droplets advanced towards the metazoan flower.

Xie Qingrong's rosy cheeks also became pale along with the loss of blood, bit by bit.

Xuanyuan Chen felt an extreme heartache as he looked at his. He hugged Xie Qingrong tightly in his embrace, wishing that he could embed her in his own blood and bones. If she could, she really wanted to bleed on her behalf.

She knew that Xie Qingrong had two reasons to follow Shang Zhiqing, one was to save Shang Zhiqing, and the other was to get the Shang clan to help the Heavenly Sage.

Although Xuanyuan Chen was confident, he couldn't endure the difficult situation that was occurring in the four Chu Country s.

If not for this, Xie Qingrong would not risk her life to pour this so called metazoan flower here.

Behind his back, which no one could see, Xuanyuan Chen tightly clenched his fist. His manicured nails dug into his palms, forming a deep crescent moon.

Xie Qingrong blinked, her pale white face looked like she was about to pass away. Looking at Xuanyuan Chen's remorseful and pained look, Xie Qingrong's heart had an indescribable feeling.

Lifting the other complete hand high up in the air, he rubbed it on Xuanyuan Chen's head and softly said: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"But …" Xuanyuan Chen immediately followed up.

However, he was interrupted by Xie Qingrong, "I still have more Blood Recovery Pills, there shouldn't be any major problems."
