Chapter 251: Supporting You for the Rest of Your Life
The wounds on Hensheng's body had begun to emit black smoke; anyone else would probably be dead by now.
Su Zhenzhen's brain was racing, trying to figure out how to force all the ghostly energy out.
"Zhenzhen." Hensheng's face was deathly pale. "No need to bother. I just feel weak. I'm probably too tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
The effects of the evil spirits are already beginning to show.
Yin and Yang are mutually generating and mutually restraining. The best way to deal with Yin energy is of course Yang energy.
Su Zhenzhen suddenly came up with a solution.
Hopefully, that good-for-nothing Jiang Jingyan is still usable.
When Su Zhenzhen led 200,000 people from Yangcheng to evacuate, Jiang Jingyan was sent to the rear by Chunzhi.
Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen now has the ability to teleport, so it's not too troublesome.
Jiang Jingyan was captured, still looking half-dead.
It's clear that Chunzhi didn't want him to die, but she didn't want him to live either.
In particular, the Jiang family's collateral branch ostensibly offered to exchange grain for people, but in reality, they were just stalling for time. Chunzhi had instructed her subordinates to take good care of this young master Jiang.
Jiang Jingyan is now emaciated. A young man who is about to turn 18 has lost all his youthful vigor and instead looks like he is on his deathbed.
Jiang Jingyan's eyes were sunken and lifeless, and he managed to squeeze out a broken sentence from his chapped lips.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Su Zhenzhen smiled at him in a friendly manner, "I heard that martial arts practitioners must maintain their virginity, so your virginity is still intact, right?"
Jiang Jingyan's face showed terror, and he managed to utter a coherent sentence with all his might, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Jingyan is in this state for two reasons: first, his previous injuries have been recurring and have never been fully healed; and second, he is not getting enough to eat.
Young masters from wealthy families have grown up in luxury and have never experienced hunger, so not giving them food is exactly what they need.
Who would have thought that missing that one bite would make eating so unpleasant?
"You'd better cooperate." Su Zhenzhen bent down and looked into Jiang Jingyan's eyes. "I'll make sure you get a good meal later."
A man's pure yang essence is the nemesis of evil spirits.
Jiang Jingyan is also of Jiang Dynasty blood, and Su Zhenzhen can exchange a portion of Hensheng's blood with Jiang Jingyan.
The remaining evil energy can be eliminated using Jiang Jingyan's pure yang essence blood, ensuring that Hensheng is completely unaffected.
"Have you met Jiang Sijin?" Su Zhenzhen asked with a grin. "This princess of the Jiang Dynasty has always coveted the imperial dragon aura. Your Jiang clan's collateral branches must be the same, right? Now I'll give you a chance to change your bloodline to imperial blood."
"No!" Jiang Jingyan's eyes widened in horror. If it were something good, how could it possibly be his turn?
“Blood transfusion… violates… the laws of Heaven…” Jiang Jingyan stammered. He had noticed his cousin’s rituals were often hampered, and upon inquiring, he learned that they were bound by the laws of Heaven, and that defying Heaven could easily lead to backlash. “Aren’t you… afraid of… the backlash?”
Su Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes slightly. Ordinary people would probably find the idea of blood transfusion unheard of.
How did Jiang Jingyan know that going against the natural order would easily lead to backlash?
The practice of blood transfusion has always been considered against the natural order, let alone exchanging the blood of a poisonous person for that of a healthy one. This act is extremely insidious, tantamount to exchanging one's life for another.
However, Jiang Jingyan and Hensheng are from the same clan, so it's just a matter of taking a shortcut. Blood exchange between relatives is a family matter and has nothing to do with outsiders, so there's no question of whether it violates the natural order.
This isn't just Su Zhenzhen talking nonsense.
In a clan system, surnames are considered as a unit. For a simple example, if two families marry and the woman suddenly contracts a serious illness, her family will choose a daughter of the same age from within the clan to replace her. This is a reasonable and legal practice, and the man's family will not object.
"It would be against the natural order to exchange someone else's blood for yours. But what does it matter if we are both of the Jiang clan bloodline? You haven't learned about clan genealogy, have you?" Su Zhenzhen's smile was cold. "Moreover, Hensheng is a direct descendant of the Jiang clan, while you are just a collateral branch. If a collateral branch is willing to die for the direct descendant, it can be considered a worthy death."
“However…” Su Zhenzhen slowly leaned down, her breath brushing against Jiang Jingyan’s hair, “Does your Jiang clan’s collateral branch have a powerful master of mystical arts? Have you seen him perform a spell? Otherwise, how would you know about the backlash?”
“We made a mistake before, trying to exchange you and your family members. The Jiang family has many branches and leaves, so having one more son won’t make a difference, and losing one son won’t make a difference either.”
"But what if we traded you for that master of mystic arts? You should be his right-hand man, right?"
After speaking, Su Zhenzhen straightened up and looked at Jiang Jingyan as if he were a dead man.
Jiang Jingyan was in such a state that it was unnecessary to tie him up. His injuries kept recurring and showed no signs of healing. Since being captured, he had not had a proper meal.
Su Zhenzhen suddenly understood many things. Hu Yu'er's soul must have been taken away by that powerful sorcerer from the Jiang family.
The walking corpse Xu Guanshan was probably created by that guy as well.
As I said before, if a powerful family had such a master, the Jiang Dynasty would have been overthrown long ago.
Previously, Su Zhenzhen only regarded the Jiang family's collateral relatives as impoverished families who survived by virtue of the Jiang dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this group also has some talented individuals, and they are quite well hidden.
Su Zhenzhen roughly estimated that the person who could refine a high-quality walking corpse must be at least middle-aged now, even if he had started cultivating since he was a child.
Those who are proficient in the profound often suffer from three deficiencies and five shortcomings. Furthermore, having a family makes them easily distracted and prone to developing weaknesses. Therefore, such a person should be solitary and alone, and might even be expelled from their family, all in order to protect this rare talent.
In this way, the scope is greatly reduced.
Once the evil aura on Hensheng's body is cleared away, we can thoroughly investigate this fellow.
Perhaps this gentleman can explain many things that were unreasonable in the past.
Su Zhenzhen was a woman of action; she acted immediately and chose the time of day when the yang energy was at its peak to extract Jiang Jingyan's essence and blood.
When a person loses their essence and blood, they are easily invaded by impurities.
At noon, minor evil spirits dare not easily show themselves.
Su Zhenzhen was still waiting to use Jiang Jingyan to perform a blood transfusion for Hensheng, so she couldn't let anything go wrong when taking his essence blood.
Everything went very smoothly, and although Jiang Jingyan was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to comply.
All the blood tainted with ghostly energy from Hensheng was transferred to Jiang Jingyan.
Su Zhenzhen then used her virginity to eliminate the remaining evil energy in Hensheng's body.
Hensheng is now safe and sound.
Jiang Jingyan was in a terrible state. He suddenly lost a portion of his essence and blood, making his body increasingly weak. After receiving blood containing ghostly energy, he deteriorated even further.
Hensheng was very grateful to him, saying, "By seniority, you and I are cousins. After the Jiang Dynasty is pacified, I will bring you into the palace and support you for the rest of your life."
