Chapter 105: Jiang Jingyan, a Collateral Branch of the Jiang Clan

I want to eat, I want to stuff everything in the world into my mouth.

Su Zhenzhen now felt a strong craving for food.

The lustful demon thought about it and realized that once bitten by her, he would be dominated by his current desires. If he were not bitten again, he would probably be imprisoned by his desires in the future.

Having thought all this through, the lustful demon decisively untied Su Zhenzhen.

"Tell me, how do you guide me to immortality? Let's get started."

Su Zhenzhen conjured a pill out of thin air, which undoubtedly made the lustful demon believe her even more.

Actually, it was taken from the system inventory.

"This is for ordinary people to cleanse their marrow and bones. After consuming it, it can cleanse the bone marrow and meridians, making you look like an immortal and shortening the gap between you and becoming an immortal."

The demon was probably too eager to attain immortality and ascend to heaven, so he didn't have any doubts and took the pill and swallowed it.

"Snap—"

"Collapse—"

Then her entire body was blown to pieces, scattered on the ground in fragments.

[Could the female lead have given her that Thunderbolt Pill with 1/10 the power of an atomic bomb?]

[Silly child, if such a wonderful thing as cultivating immortality really existed, would it be your turn? This story teaches us not to eat food from strangers.]

Su Zhenzhen remained completely indifferent, ignoring even the comments on the screen.

I'm really hungry and want to eat something.

However, Su Zhenzhen did not want to let her desires control her. Once she failed to uphold the bottom line of her desires, she would inevitably become a slave to them.

Even if it's just a desire for food.

Su Zhenzhen didn't even bother to meditate and regulate her breathing; she just wanted to get out of this awful place as soon as possible. After all, the ghost of Granny Ba was still waiting for her, and she didn't know if anything had gone wrong.

No sooner had Su Zhenzhen left than Jiang Sijin appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Strange, I clearly smelled the scent of my Zhuixiang rice here, so where did the person go?" Jiang Sijin looked at the pieces of corpse on the ground and disdainfully picked them up with her hand.

"This person is really ugly, and his skin doesn't feel good to the touch."

Jiang Sijin searched carefully again and found that there was no trace of Su Zhenzhen. She then looked at the mess on the ground.

"Could this be her?"

To be fair, Jiang Sijin didn't want Su Zhenzhen to go back, because with Su Zhenzhen around, she couldn't take away Hensheng's luck.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. He had clearly obtained Hensheng's blood and essence before, and with the activation of the formation, Hensheng's imperial destiny could have been transferred to him.

But several months have passed, and why haven't I felt any blessing from good fortune?

Jiang Sijin suspected that Su Zhenzhen was behind it, but at this time she did not realize that the item had been faulty from the beginning, and only thought that Su Zhenzhen's fate was in conflict.

After all, during the days she was away, he could feel a warm current flowing from the depths of his soul to every part of his body.

When Su Zhenzhen came out, she found herself in Chang Yuan's woodshed. It has to be said that their family was really poor, so poor that they couldn't even afford firewood. No wonder they had to be night watchmen.

It's all fate.

Su Zhenzhen suppressed her hunger and walked along the corner of the wall to the end of the street.

Pushing open the door, good news: Granny Ba's ghost is still there.

Bad news: I don't know how long I've been exposed to the sun, but my soul is a bit unstable.

Sure enough, when bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Looking at the confused eyes of Granny Ba, Su Zhenzhen finally had no choice but to bite her finger until it bled.

A drop of blood from her fingertip landed on Granny Ba's brow, and the entire ghost instantly solidified.

Grandma Ba, her mind clear, saw Su Zhenzhen's distressed expression and forgot to complain about making her wait so long. "What happened? You don't look well."

"It's nothing, I'm just hungry." Su Zhenzhen waved her hand. "We have to head back to Shanxian County immediately. I'll put you away first to reduce the consumption of your soul power."

Without waiting for Granny Ba's response, she stuffed the person into the storage compartment.

Then Su Zhenzhen adopted the attitude of a marathon runner and sprinted westward, jumping over obstacles as she encountered them, climbing over them if she could, and going around them if she couldn't.

While running, the body's desire for food was finally suppressed a little.

The people in the alley saw Su Zhenzhen break free like a mad horse and looked on curiously.

Su Zhenzhen didn't care about anything else at this point. Let them look, it wouldn't hurt her to be seen anyway.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. I had originally planned to try to summon the spirit of King Lu here.

That's for next time. Right now, I must get back to Hensheng's side as quickly as possible.

Why is the video moving so fast? Did I accidentally speed it up?

[Upstairs, the female lead is running.]

It's really strange. Even though I was focused on rushing forward, every single comment in my mind was clearly flashing through my head.

Just as Jiang Sijin left that house, she smelled the aroma of fragrant rice again. Just as she was about to follow the scent, a large group of soldiers walked towards her.

The leader was a young man. When he saw Jiang Sijin standing at the door, a hint of confusion flashed across his cool face.

Whose daughter is this? I've never heard of Chang Yuan having a younger sister or anything like that.

"When the government is handling a case, bystanders should stay away."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the officers and soldiers immediately cleared the area.

The villagers didn't care about watching the spectacle; at this moment, saving their lives was the most important thing.

Jiang Sijin walked step by step toward the young man, "Your surname is Jiang?"

The person before me possessed a faint dragon aura, something that only those of royal blood could possess.

The young man waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately surrounded Jiang Sijin.

Who are you?

My cousin said there was a woman with an extraordinary destiny in this alley, so he secretly sent a message to the lustful demon, asking her to find a way to capture her.

However, he and his cousin disagreed on the purpose of this woman, so they fasted for three days to ask their ancestors for their opinion, which delayed the matter.

Could it be that this woman has accomplices?

That makes things even easier: kill one, and use the other to have children.

"What generation are you from?" Jiang Sijin asked casually. "Xing or Jing?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this woman would know the generational names of the Jiang family.

"My name is Jiang Jingyan."

In the Jiang family, only the direct descendants can use the original character in their generational naming system; collateral branches can only use homophones.

For example, the character "意" in Jiang Yichun's name is a generational name, while Jiang Yichen, who is in the same generation, can only use the character "亦" which has the same pronunciation.

Jiang Jingyan is not a direct descendant, so he cannot use the character "Jing" (静), and can only use the character "Jing" (景), which has the same pronunciation.

"So, you'll have to call me 'Grandma' then." Jiang Sijin felt relieved; it was easy to talk to someone from the Jiang family.

Jiang Jingyan calculated the generational hierarchy, "Are you the princess from the time of the last emperor? Do you look like this?"

Doesn't she look too young?

Jiang Sijin suddenly remembered that her body was acting strangely, and the palace was trying its best to hide it. How could they let the collateral branches laugh at her?
