Chapter 222 Death Prophecy
More than a year had passed, and Xiao Qi had never contacted her again. She didn't know if Quan Jin had grounded her, or if she had simply forgotten her mother...
Quan Jin wouldn't really find a stepmother for it, right?
When there are more men and children, there are more happy things and more sad things.
One is Quan Jin, the other is Fei Yuan.
Neither of them is easy to deal with!
"Okay, don't think too much, go to sleep first." Lan Cang took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to her.
This heavy bag... Sang Luo knew what was inside. Every time she came to his place, the first thing she did in the evening was to hand in her salary.
Lan Cang has earned a lot of money in the past few years, and at least half of it has gone into her mouth to support her children.
Sang Luo happily counted the king-level crystals in the bag. She could not count them all, it was simply impossible to count them all. If she had a tail, it would have been lifted up to the sky.
No matter when or in which world, money is the best soothing medicine for the soul!
"Money-grubber." Lan Cang tapped her nose.
…
I stayed in the Northern Continent for nearly half a month and celebrated the New Year.
That day, after Sang Luo finished dinner, he received a message from Hai Luo - it seemed that the old Beast King of the North Sea had come out of seclusion.
She went to Beihai to keep the appointment.
Ji Lijun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing her coming, he glanced back and smiled, "Little beauty, are you here alone?"
"What? Are you still planning to take action? We have made a vow to the Heavenly Dao."
"I can't bear to attack you." Ji Lijun put one hand behind his back and made a gesture of invitation with the other hand. "Please come in. The old man has been here for a long time. By the way, did you bring the Rotating Pill?"
Sang Luo nodded and entered the hall.
Sitting on a high seat was an old man wearing a black robe with a gold grid pattern.
After living in the beast world for many years, Sang Luo rarely saw dying old people. The beastmen she came into contact with were at higher and higher levels, with longer and longer lifespans, and they all looked as young as possible. However, the beastman in front of her was unnaturally old.
Even the gorgeous clothes could not hide his hunched and haggard figure.
His face and the skin on his exposed palms were wrinkled and sagging like an old tree. Even in the human world, he would be a centenarian.
The lifespan of an orc at the peak of the imperial rank is seven to eight thousand years. It seems that this old Beast King is nearing the end of his life.
Sang Luo was filled with awe. This man was truly an antique. He stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I am Sang Luo, paying my respects to the Old Beast King of the North Sea."
"Don't be so polite, my lady. We're dealing on equal terms, so there's no need for these formalities." The old Beast King waved his hand, inviting her to take a seat. "My name is Ji Hua, so just call me by my name."
"Thank you, Senior Ji Hua." Sang Luo sat on the chair to his left.
Ji Hua looked at the old Longzhu, but his eyes were not cloudy, instead they were full of brilliance.
He looked at Sang Luo kindly, "You look quite young, do you really have the Wheel-Transforming Pill? Could you please show it to me?"
"certainly."
Sang Luo took it out for him to inspect.
"This is true!"
The moment Ji Hua saw the Wheel Pill, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face and he couldn't utter a word. He no longer looked like an old Beast King who was over fifty thousand years old!
"I wonder if you are willing to trade?"
"Of course! Of course! Keep this Lunzhuan Pill for me, and don't give it to anyone else!"
"From what you said, Senior, do I need to wait for some time?"
"I won't hide this from you, my friend. My clan's innate abilities come at the cost of lifespan. To fully resurrect a person, I'd have to sacrifice at least several hundred years of my lifespan..." Ji Hua sighed helplessly. "And I only have a few years left to live. I can't even complete a single use of my innate abilities. I must wait for a breakthrough before I can fulfill your wish."
"So what you mean, Senior, is that I want to give you this Wheel of Rebirth Pill first and help you break through before you can help me?"
Ji Hua smiled and said, "Young friend, do you not believe me?"
“…”Deliver the goods first and pay later.
There are risks.
After seeing what Ji Lijun had done before, Sang Luo didn't believe Ji Hua was a kind person. Moreover, he was already at the peak of the Imperial Beast Realm. After breaking through to the highest realm, it was hard to find an opponent. No one she knew could compare to him. What if he wanted to take it all for himself and break the contract...
"Senior, please swear an oath to heaven and earth with me to ensure that the transaction can be completed smoothly."
"Can."
Only after the two of them swore an oath to heaven and earth did Sang Luo hand all the things to him.
"My friend, you have really helped me a lot." Ji Hua said gratefully, "How about I give you a divination?"
"Senior Ji Hua also knows divination?"
"The older I am, the more I know about the mysteries of the universe. I can't guarantee my divination is accurate, but it's probably accurate three or four times out of ten. You can treat it as a joke, or as a warning."
"Then please ask Senior Ji Hua to tell my fortune for me."
Ji Lijun took out an ancient-looking tortoise shell, placed a few copper coins inside, and muttered an obscure spell. After shaking it a few times, the copper coins spilled onto the table...
Sang Luo also looked in the direction of the movement, but unfortunately she couldn't understand the hexagram, but she found that Ji Hua's face was extremely horrified!
"What's wrong? Did you see anything, Senior?"
"How could this be... You only have three months left to live."
Sang Luo jumped up from his chair and asked, "Senior, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Isn't her lifespan at least a thousand years?
"I'm not mistaken. The hexagram clearly states that in three months, your life line will suddenly break and disappear. This is a sign of your death!"
Ji Hua changed his words to a gentler one, "It's not impossible to overcome the death calamity, but there are very few people who can overcome it. Whether you can survive it depends on fate."
Sang Luo suddenly felt cold all over.
After a long pause, he continued, "Senior, could you please tell me another fortune to find out what this so-called death calamity is, where it happened, and who did it, so that I can try to avoid it."
"My dear friend, have you ever heard the saying that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed? Although I can see the secrets of heaven, I cannot reveal them."
Ji Hua accepted the tortoise shell and copper coins and said to Sang Luo, "Don't worry too much, my friend. The hexagrams are changing all the time. Maybe there will be a new turn tomorrow. Besides, my divination skills are not accurate. Most of the time, I just use them for entertainment."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be safe.
Ji Hua stood up and walked over, took out a thin black rope engraved with runes, and tied it around her wrist. "My friend and I have a connection, so I will give you another gift. This rope will break the moment you encounter a fatal disaster. If you can dodge in time, you might be able to avoid this death."
"Thank you, senior!"
After Sang Luo returned to the Northern Continent, she and Si Ye returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
When she came back this time, she always felt that someone was secretly watching her when she was alone... This unknown thing lurking in the dark made people instinctively feel dangerous and panic.
Could this be the predicted death?
But she couldn't find anything when she used her mental power.
Sang Luo tossed and turned for several nights and didn't get a good night's sleep.
Si Ye noticed something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Luoluo? Have you been feeling unwell these days?"
