Chapter 75 Rescue Shen Yi
Inside Lingshu Valley.
In a towering building made of forty-nine stone pillars, a bloody man was tied to a rack with his hands and feet tied. His clothes were stained with blood, and his original appearance could not even be seen. The blood dripped down the corners of his clothes and formed a small stream of blood on the ground. The bloody smell spread far away, making the animals in the mountains restless.
Despite such a bloody and cruel scene, the person's expression remained calm, and his beautiful and bright face even added a bit of weird beauty.
The Council of Elders announced his punishment seven days ago.
"Chen Yi, as the head of our clan and the Holy Son of our clan, you did not follow the clan rules, secretly had an affair with a woman from another clan, and privately gave away our clan's sacred objects. Your crime is hard to redeem! Considering your contribution in giving birth to our Holy Son, you are now sentenced to be whipped for 49 days. If you survive, you will be expelled from the valley."
Chen Yi accepted it calmly. On the first day he confirmed his feelings, he knew that this disaster would happen sooner or later. He just hoped that she could fly away and be safe.
Forty-nine days, seal the acupuncture points all over the body every day, and whip with salt-studded whips a hundred times. Now it is only the seventh day, and Shen Yi feels that he has overestimated himself. This is all thanks to his father. Since his father's incident, the clan rules have become more stringent.
Chen Yi smiled bitterly, wondering if he would be able to see her again in this life...
Perhaps it was because he missed her too much. At dusk, a familiar figure slowly walked towards him against the light.
He suspected he was hallucinating.
"Chen Yi..."
The woman's clear and gentle voice rang in his ears, and he finally saw clearly the person he had been thinking about day and night. It was not an illusion, it was really her!
All kinds of feelings surged into his heart in an instant: joy, fear, anxiety, worry, sadness... He struggled weakly against the chains on his hands and feet, his eyes slightly hot.
"Lan'er, you, you shouldn't have come..." Shen Yi said in a hoarse voice.
"If I don't come, will I ever see you again?"
Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly, put her white hands on his face, and her eyes were filled with infinite sadness.
Chen Yi's throat rolled, and he smiled faintly and said: "I'm fine, I just hit you a few times, you listen to me and leave quickly..."
"I won't leave..." Jiang Yuyan shook her head firmly.
Chen Yi closed his eyes and said weakly, "We are not married yet. It's just a moment of pleasure. You are still young and will forget it soon. There are people waiting for you in the capital."
"Husband~" Jiang Yuyan suddenly called out with great tenderness.
Shen Yi stopped moving.
Jiang Yuyan leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm really pregnant!"
"Impossible, I clearly went there that day!" Shen Yi couldn't believe it.
"Hush, the days were short then."
Jiang Yuyan gestured to him to keep quiet, and watched as more and more people came into the Discipline Hall and surrounded her.
Jiang Yuyan still whispered nonchalantly, "My husband is so amazing. He gave me a baby so quickly!" After saying this, she smiled brilliantly, just like the white flowers in the Jade Pool, shining brightly under the bright moon.
As the head of the clan, Shen Yi was teased in public, which was really exciting and joyful. The blood color spread from the snow-white neck, making the face bright and beautiful.
"Who are you and how dare you trespass into my Lingshu Valley?!" The leader of the crowd finally spoke.
“This is the Great Elder.” Shen Yi whispered.
Jiang Yuyan did not cover her face at this moment, revealing her beautiful face frankly, and saluted to the great elder as a junior.
"Please forgive me, Senior! I have trespassed into your precious place this time, but I want to make a deal with you."
"What deal can I make with you?" The great elder was intimidating without even getting angry.
"Just because I'm pregnant with the next generation of Holy Son!" Jiang Yuyan said calmly.
The Great Elder looked over with sharp eagle eyes, "I think the Second Elder has already made it very clear to you. The Holy Son must be returned to our clan, otherwise you should know the consequences. With the status of Lingshu Valley, why should I make this deal with you?"
Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly, "I thought about it for a long time on the way here. Why did the second elder not want to kill me when he heard that I was pregnant? Why was my son born as the Holy Son of the clan, and the ones who provided for the Snow Charms were all the Holy Sons of previous generations? If I guessed correctly, the Snow Charms were influenced by the essence and blood of the union of men and women and reproduced themselves. The young were born and the mother died. The next generation should have directly entered the fetus's blood. So as long as I am pregnant, you can't take out the Snow Charms even if you kill me, but is it true?"
The Great Elder stared at her with a gloomy face, "So?"
Jiang Yuyan immediately pulled out a dagger from her bosom and pointed it directly at her aorta, saying sadly, "Shen Yi and I are in love and share life and death. If anything happens to him, my child will suffer without a father. I don't want to live in humiliation. It's better for the three of us to die together!"
"Nonsense!" The elder was so angry that his beard stood up. "The clan has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Since Shen Yi made a mistake, he should be punished."
Chen Yi was stunned by her words, and laughed in his heart. But he said with a sad face: "Lan'er, you don't have to worry about me. From now on, you can ask my son to burn incense for me during festivals."
"Husband!" Jiang Yuyan rushed towards him with tears in her eyes, extremely sad and mournful.
The two were so "affectionate" that the tribesmen present were touched and sympathized with them. Moreover, Shen Yi was indeed a very popular tribe leader.
The Great Elder was not intimidated by this little trick, and said majestically: “My Lingshu Valley has never been threatened. If you dare to die, I will make Shen Yi live a life worse than death.”
“.…………”
Jiang Yuyan wiped away the non-existent tears and said: "Grand Elder, you are so wise, how dare I threaten you, it's just that I love you, I can't help myself!
I have been pregnant for ten months, and we are connected by blood. If I were to hand over the Holy Son, it would be like killing me, but I am willing to exchange the Holy Son for my husband's safe departure, which can be regarded as redemption. I hope that the Great Elder will show some leniency!"
The tribesmen and elders who were watching also tried to persuade and plead for mercy. The second elder was even more worried. After all, this was the child she had raised since childhood, and she couldn't really beat him to death.
The Great Elder pondered for a while, and his cloudy but still shrewd eyes swept between the two of them, and said: "It's not impossible to let Shen Yi go."
When Jiang Yuyan heard that there was something going on, she quickly asked, "What do you want, Great Elder?"
"As an elder, I cannot change my orders every day. But Chen Yi can make amends. As long as you can find the Lishan Ice Lotus, all the previous things will be written off. Although Chen Yi is no longer a member of my tribe, I can let you meet the Holy Son occasionally in the future." The elder stroked his beard and said.
"May I ask where is the Lishan Ice Lotus?"
"The Imperial Palace of Dayue Kingdom." The second elder stepped forward and added.
Jiang Yuyan thought for a moment and agreed. "Okay, I'll find it for you within two years."
"If you fail to accomplish this task in two years, Chen Yi will be caught and punished. You should know that we in Lingshu Valley always keep our word." The elder's eyes were scorching.
"It's a deal!" This time Shen Yi spoke first.
Jiang Yuyan heaved a sigh of relief only after the man was put down, but the man was badly injured and there was not a single clean spot on his body.
Jiang Yuyan endured the grief and helped him out of the Discipline Hall. When they were out of the valley, she suddenly hugged him and burst into tears when they were alone.
Chen Yi was heartbroken by her crying, and coaxed her softly, "My dear Lan'er, my dear wife, my darling... don't cry... take good care of the child..."
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were blurred with tears. She glared at him vaguely, "This is just a sesame seed, and you feel sorry for him!"
Chen Yi didn't care about the blood stains all over his body, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile: "As a husband, I naturally feel more sorry for you!"
He slowly stroked Jiang Yuyan's abdomen, a warm current rising in his heart, melting his limbs, "Lan'er... I'm going to be a father..."
"Hmm..." Jiang Yuyan became shy at this time and buried her head in his arms and rubbed it.
The two of them were loving and sweet for a long time without paying attention to anyone around them. Jiang Yuyan then remembered that Cang Yi was still with her, and felt quite embarrassed. As expected of a shadow guard, he appeared and disappeared without making any sound.
Jiang Yuyan clapped her hands twice, and Cang Yi appeared in front of her, standing tall and straight like a pine tree.
"Although I have the miasma-repelling pill you left for me, we were able to get in thanks to Cang Yi. He is really amazing!" Jiang Yuyan praised: "No matter what formation, mechanism, or trap, he was not stumped!"
Shen Yi also nodded and looked deeply at the tall man.
Cang Yi was as taciturn as ever, "Thank you for your compliment, madam~"
He looked at the two people's backs supporting each other and was filled with thoughts. In the past, he thought women were weak and stupid. However, his new master, a woman, could do so much for a man, overcoming all difficulties, fearless, sharing life and death, loving each other.
Admiration, envy, and even a hint of loss quietly fell into my heart.
