Chapter 136 The Price
"Where are the people?"
Seeing Chen Xue leaving with the child in her arms, everyone was a little curious, but Chen Xue got on the carriage and they couldn't see what she was doing inside.
"She won't really be able to do it, will she?"
Someone couldn't help but whispered.
"impossible!"
Zhang Yiquan retorted, "Maybe she wants to delay!"
"Or maybe she wants to find another child to replace her."
"fart!"
Someone immediately stood up to defend Chen Xue, saying, "It's snowing so hard, where can they find other children to switch with?"
"that is."
"I think you're just jealous, that's why you question them."
"Yes, I know him. His name is Zhang Yiquan. I remember that he has a grudge against the Chen family, so he slandered the Chen family like this."
"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Yiquan was immediately furious. "If the Chen family could bring someone back to life, I would..."
"Just what!"
"Don't you dare say it!"
Zhang Yiquan really didn't dare to gamble. He still had a trace of worry in his heart, but he didn't want to lose his strength. "Then you just watch!"
While everyone was arguing, they suddenly heard a cry. Upon listening carefully, it was the voice of a baby.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Xue walking towards them holding a child. The child in her arms was struggling constantly. It was obvious that the crying sound came from the child.
"My, my child!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of ecstasy, rushed over suddenly, and then stopped in front of Chen Xue.
Chen Xue handed the child to her. The woman took the child, lifted up her clothes, saw the child's face, and burst into tears.
"Woo woo woo, that's great, that's great!"
When everyone saw the woman's reaction, how could they not understand that Chen Xue had actually done it.
The Chen family can actually bring people back to life.
"Hiss~"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
Zhang Yiquan took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief. How could the Chen family bring someone back to life? Aren’t they ordinary people?
Aren't they playing tricks?
How is that possible!
Why!
This is unreasonable!
Zhang Yiquan suddenly began to doubt his life.
In addition, those who agreed with Zhang Yiquan also looked very ugly, and some even turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be retaliated against.
"Bang!"
However, at this moment, everyone saw Chen Xue suddenly fall to the ground.
"girl!"
Xiaodie appeared beside Chen Xue at some point, supporting her in time and asking worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?"
Chen Xue waved her hands, looking very weak. "I'm fine, I just consumed too much energy."
Moreover, when she turned her back to everyone, she winked at Xiaodie. Xiaodie understood what she meant and turned to cry to Lord Chen.
"Master, this is bad. The girl has consumed her own lifespan to perform magic and has fallen into a coma."
"What?"
"how so!"
Lord Chen's expression suddenly changed. He rushed over and looked at the unconscious Chen Xue with an anxious expression.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, don't scare me!"
Xiaodie deliberately shouted again, "Master, let's take the young lady back to rest. The young lady said that this secret technique can only be performed once in a lifetime, and the price is too high."
Lord Chen panicked. If he had known that this secret technique had such a high price, he would have stopped it.
So what if others resent them, so what if Chen Yuan's reputation becomes bad, he is a father, and he can be selfish sometimes.
He would rather Xiaoxue be safe than let her sacrifice herself to save others. After all, he is not a saint, he is also a human being.
Although his mind was full of random thoughts, his hands did not stop moving. Lord Chen immediately ran into the carriage holding Chen Xue.
"What's going on?" Mother Chen was shocked when she saw Mr. Chen with an anxious look on his face and the unconscious Chen Xue coming in.
"I……"
Mr. Chen felt extremely guilty and was about to say something when he saw the "unconscious" Chen Xue wake up. She even immediately sat down next to Chen's mother and picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.
Lord Chen: “…………”
Seeing his daughter jumping around, eating and drinking, she didn't look like she was in a coma at all, and Mr. Chen was stunned.
"Xiaoxue, you..."
"The girl is fine." Xiaodie said, "I'm sorry, Master. I was just talking nonsense."
"I told Xiaodie to talk nonsense." Chen Xue pulled Xiaodie to sit down and explained, "I'm worried that after we save the child and this matter is over, there will be a constant stream of people coming to find us."
"So, I thought we had to pretend that performing this secret technique would require a great price. That way, they might not look for us."
"Even if they come to us, we can use the excuse that they will have to pay a huge price to silence them."
"But..." Chen Xue said, suddenly picking up the cake and feeding it to Xiaodie, "I still have to thank Xiaodie. Actually, those words were all Xiaodie's own thoughts, not my teachings."
In fact, when she left the space, she simply explained to Xiaodie what to say.
But Xiaodie's words were beyond her expectations and better than she had imagined.
If anyone else comes to him and asks her to come back to life to save others, she will use the excuse of sacrificing her life.
"You scared me!" Lord Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "You almost scared me to death just now."
"Next time, you should give me a hint, otherwise I would have thought... I almost got scared to death."
Lord Chen said with lingering fear, after all, he only had Xiaoxue as his daughter, how could he let anything happen to her.
So, he was really scared at that time.
…………
"this……"
When everyone saw Chen Xue unconscious and heard Xiaodie's screams, they immediately realized that performing this magic technique would cost such a huge price.
They thought it was easy.
I even wondered in my heart if I encountered such a thing in the future, could I ask the Chen family for help.
But now they know that Chen Xue will have to pay with her life, and from what she said, she can only use it once in her lifetime, so won’t they have any chance in the future?
Even if there is a chance, the Chen family probably won't waste their lives for them.
In fact, when they saw Lord Chen hugging Chen Xue and yelling like crazy, they felt that this was not an act and they were quite accepting of the result in their hearts.
After all, in their imagination, how could it be so easy to bring the dead back to life? Now that they see such a huge price, they all believe it.
"It's better to die, you deserve it!"
Not far away, Zhang Yiquan saw Chen Xue unconscious and was so excited that he almost jumped up, and even cursed secretly in his heart.
He had never expected that the Chen family could really bring people back to life, but the Chen family had to pay a price, which was what he wanted to see.
Zhang Yiquan's eyes rolled, and he was thinking in his heart whether he should encourage others to force the Chen family to help people "revive" again. In this way, all the members of the Chen family would suffer "retribution" and his great hatred would be avenged.
