Chapter 116: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian
She doesn't believe it.
But the fact made Gu Lingnan unable to disbelieve it. The bone that had just been placed in Gu Yuanming's body had already been perfectly connected with his bones, as if it were born in his body. There was no difference at all.
If you can't get it back, destroy it!
Gu Lingnan exerted force in his hands, wanting to crush the bone directly.
But the Supreme Bone is the Supreme Bone. The intricate runes on the bone gradually glow, conveying the mysteries of the heavens. The cyan glow that cleansed the heavens at the time of creation gushes out. Here, an ancient magic that could shock the world is reborn into the world!
Gu Lingnan's small body flew backwards in an instant and hit the stone wall hard, leaving spider-web-like cracks.
The rubble fell.
"Host, are you okay?"
Gu Lingnan wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and did not answer.
The next second, a powerful aura descended upon the place.
"You, you... evil woman!"
The elders of the tribe who noticed something was wrong have arrived.
"Tell me, where did your evil art of transplanting the Supreme Bone come from?"
The woman with a broken arm and a blind eye kept silent. She would not betray her son. What's more, haha... a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The elder who interrogated her had greed in his turbid eyes. It was hard to tell whether his shout was for the child in the tribe who had lost the supreme bone or for himself.
"Seventh Brother!" The old man with the golden lion was furious, and his shrewd and wise black pupils seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
The seventh brother, who had always been afraid of this eldest brother, dared not say anything more.
In the silence, another person entered the trial hall.
The old man didn't look at the woman kneeling below, and asked the old woman who came in: "How is Nan'er?"
"Nan'er is fine. She just overdrew her pupil power. She will be fine after a few days of recuperation. Her essence is not damaged."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "...Where is Yao'er?"
The old woman showed a look of pity and shook her head, "Having lost the Supreme Bone, Yao'er... I'm afraid he won't live more than half a year."
"Poisonous woman!"
The old man was furious. He swung his palm, wanting to kill the vicious woman on the spot.
"No, brother!"
The old man looked at the old woman who had spoken with his lion eyes: "Fourth sister, are you also going to protect this vicious woman?"
The old woman's face was calm and steady: "Brother, have you considered...what to do with Gu Yuanming?"
"The story of my clan brother digging up the Supreme Bone of my clan brother to change his fortune must not be spread. Otherwise, how can our ancient clan survive in the Great Wilderness? How can we encourage our clan members to practice diligently and believe that hard work will be rewarded?" He said firmly, "As for that evil son, of course he must be killed to restore the clan's prestige!"
"Brother!" the old woman retorted loudly: "Do you know that the Supreme Bone is born in Gu Yuanming's body?"
"So what?"
"Brother, Jing Wan who is kneeling below is a direct descendant of the Jing family. Her brother is a well-known figure in the previous generation of the Jing family!" The old woman reminded him implicitly.
The old man's face darkened. It turned out to be someone from the Jing family. The Jing family had close ties with the upper realm and had an extraordinary status in the ancient capital. Even the Human Emperor had to give them some respect.
This... is really difficult to deal with.
"Brother, Gu Yuanming has the supreme bone. Now, he can be regarded as the pride of their Jing family." The old woman sighed.
"Report! Great Elder, someone from the Jing family is here!"
The old man took a deep look at Jing Wan, who was kneeling with his head lowered, and knew that this matter would definitely end in nothing.
He... he has let down the Laojiu lineage.
"Host, that vicious time traveler and his vicious mother will definitely pay the price!" The system chirped indignantly in my ear.
Gu Lingnan pulled off the white veil covering her eyes and said coldly, "You're overthinking it. They won't do that."
She ignored the maids around her who wanted to persuade her but didn't dare, and ordered the unfamiliar lead maid, "Take me to see my brother."
The original maids had been sent to the punishment hall for failing to protect their masters. Even though they were only allowed to stay outside the school according to the rules during classes, they were still criminals.
The system's noisy yet innocent voice rang out: "Why, host? It's fine that the traverser was not punished, but why did his mother also escape? According to the clan rules, shouldn't he be executed for murdering a member of the clan?"
Gu Lingnan's left eye was still blurry, and she could only see with her right. She calmly replied, "Because she is from the Jing family, and above them stands a celestial being that even the Human Emperor fears."
"The Gu Clan cannot bear the wrath of the immortals. Besides, Gu Yuanming is also a member of the Gu Clan, and they still have a future Supreme. As for who this Supreme is, who else would care except for real relatives? After all, as long as they have the surname Gu, aren't they all family?"
The system was silent for a long time before speaking: "Host... I'm a little scared of you being like this."
"Really? I won't eat you." Gu Lingnan told a joke that was not funny at all with a deadpan face.
The system's main light ball trembled, and it said from the heart: "Host, be normal. You were not like this before."
Gu Lingnan stopped in front of the closed door, and she suddenly didn't dare to go in.
She gently replied to the system: "Maybe it's because I'm very angry right now, so angry that I want to kill someone."
So this is what it feels like to hate someone.
She finally opened the door and walked in.
The figure on the bed was small, and Gu Lingnan could hear his extremely slow and difficult breathing. For Gu Jingyao now, every second of his life was extremely painful.
He seemed to have heard something, and with difficulty he turned his head. Seeing the familiar figure standing in the shadows, he forced a smile. He moved his arms, perhaps trying to raise them, but then he let them down weakly. His voice was so soft that it could be blown away by the wind:
"younger sister……"
Gu Lingnan sat next to him and hugged him carefully, not daring to use force.
She suppressed her sobs and replied, "Yes, I'm here. I'm with you."
In the following month, as if to express the clan's debt to the child, at the signal of the great elder, the clan's warehouse was opened wide, and miraculous medicines were sent into the small courtyard like water, as if they were free of charge, but to no avail.
Gu Jingyao's essence was lost too much. He was like a flower that had lost its roots, withering day by day.
Gu Lingnan watched her brother become thinner and thinner at an alarming rate, unable to even drink water every day. He was drowsy and woke up very rarely.
She stayed with her brother from morning till night, and except for the necessary medicinal bath, she even skipped the morning classes. This willful behavior was tacitly approved by the elders with their nods.
Gu Jingyao's big eyes, which were full of spirit in the past, gradually became dim, and the vitality in his body faded away like quicksand day by day. Gu Lingnan was growing up, but Gu Jingyao was getting smaller.
He can no longer remember people.
One day, he woke up from a dark dream again, looked at Gu Lingnan's little face, and asked in a puzzled nasal voice: "...Who...are you..."
Gu Lingnan lowered her eyes to look at him, touched his head, and said, "Yes, I am your sister. Repeat after me, sister...sister..."
Gu Jingyao studied very hard: "Sister...Sister"
"Yeah." Gu Lingnan smiled, "Great, yes, that's my sister."
"Host, is Xiaolong Aotian...going to die..." the system asked cautiously. It accompanied Gu Lingnan to witness Xiaolong Aotian's changes day by day, and felt very distressed.
Gu Jingyao woke up for a few minutes and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Lingnan tucked him in. Her eyes had completely recovered, but her brother's condition was getting worse.
Those people in the clan didn't dare to say it in front of her, but she knew that everyone in the clan, including the guards and maids, all thought in their hearts that the young master was already dead.
Even the small coffin for the funeral was secretly prepared by the clan.
But Gu Lingnan only said to the system: "No, how could he die? He is Long Aotian, the Long Aotian who is destined to make the world bow down to him."
On a moonless night, Gu Lingnan quietly avoided the maids and guards on guard and tiptoed into Gu Jingyao's room.
"Host, what are you going to do?" Obviously, no one except Gu Lingnan could hear the system's voice, but it still lowered its voice to a very low level as if it was guilty of a crime.
In the darkness, Gu Lingnan's eyes were bright: "I want my brother to survive."
The system was puzzled. Even such a large ancient clan was helpless. It didn't understand what the host was going to do, so it asked: "Host, what are you going to do?"
Gu Lingnan climbed onto the bed and said, "My brother was predicted to die soon because he had lost too much of his essence. So, I just need to help him replenish his essence."
"so"
"So, I will give him half of my essence."
"ah"
Gu Lingnan helped Gu Jingyao up and let him lean against the wall. She and her brother pressed their foreheads together and said, "Gu Yuanming was able to have his bones fixed without being rejected. Gu Jingyao and I are born of the same mother, so why can't my brother accept my origin?"
"Besides, my right eye contains the power of life. My brother will definitely survive."
In the dead of night when the power of the moon is at its strongest, the original power in Gu Lingnan's right pupil is also at its most active.
Under the moonlight, Gu Lingnan resisted the discomfort of actively stripping away her strength. Her mind was highly concentrated, and even her breathing was extremely light. A vague song like cloud-like satin was sung faintly in this courtyard forgotten by the ancient clan.
Gu Lingnan didn't even blink, the divine light in the room was slightly bright, and the silver light emanating from her pupils jumped into Gu Jingyao's body according to the will of its owner, nourishing his long-dried blood.
As the moonlight gathered towards the wound on Gu Jingyao's chest, the divine power from another ancient lineage merged with the divine charm of the remaining supreme bone, and new divine blood gradually flowed out.
As Gu Lingnan's face gradually turned pale, Gu Jingyao's breathing gradually became smoother, and his little face also showed some color.
"Host... this loss of essence will have a significant impact on your future advancement," the system said worriedly. The essence of the double pupils overlaps with the essence of the soul in some ways. If it can't be replenished in time, it will add a lot of obstacles to your future advancement.
No matter which world we live in, the soul is of vital importance. It is the only anchor in the myriad worlds of each person, and it cannot be erased even through reincarnation.
Gu Lingnan understood the system's underlying concerns. Seeing her brother's condition steadily improving, she was filled with pure joy. She said to the system, "System, I know."
Knowing what the root of such loss means.
Knowing that he is Long Aotian, the son of destiny of this world, the world will always favor him, and he will not fall here easily.
"But, system, I can't afford to gamble."
Because he is Gu Lingnan's brother and her closest relative, she can't afford to take the risk. What if? She doesn't know the world's choices and can't see the future clearly, but she knows that she can't afford to take the risk.
Only death is the greatest fear in the world.
