Chapter 714: Blood and Essence Cannot Be Melted
Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears.
"What?"
This jade disc can perform witchcraft?
How is that possible?
This was even more incredible than the forbidden techniques they had encountered in the deserted city before.
Zhu Feng, who was standing by, had a gloomy expression on his face and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Monk looked up at him, seemingly dissatisfied with his use of words to tease Nan Yan. Zhu Feng's face looked very ugly in the firelight.
Monk then smiled faintly and said, "Well, in fact, this jade disc is not an ordinary jade disc. Before the birth of the royal family of our Neng Kingdom, relatives will prepare such a jade disc. After the birth, the name and birth date will be engraved on it."
“…”
"Then, hand it over to the clan's wizard."
“…”
"After the wizard got the jade disc, the first thing he did was to prick the baby's finger and drop a drop of his or her blood onto the jade disc."
“…”
"Then, the wizard will use witchcraft to offer the jade disc, allowing the baby's essence and blood to merge into the jade disc."
“…”
"There is an invisible connection between the jade disc and this person."
“…”
"This person becomes the owner of the Jade Disc."
“…”
"From now on, it will not absorb anyone else's blood. Only the master's blood will be integrated into it."
Nan Yan listened with a frown on her face.
After listening for a while, she began to understand a little.
But immediately said: "But I——"
"I know what you want to ask," Monk said, "You are not Princess Tana herself."
“…”
"However, if they are descendants of the jade disc's owner, their blood essence will be similar to that of their predecessors and can also be integrated into the jade disc. However—"
"Only what?"
Monk was silent for a moment, then said, "You try it first."
Nan Yan looked at him, then looked at the jade disc.
Indeed, no matter how much you say, it’s useless.
Now that the jade disc belonging to Princess Tana has been found, all we have to do is drop a drop of blood on it to find out the truth.
She immediately took out the dagger from her arms.
Zhu Feng stood behind her, frowning and said, "Nan Yan."
Nan Yan looked back at him and said softly, "Your Majesty, I need the truth."
“…”
The two looked at each other for a while.
Zhu Feng slowly walked over, took the dagger from her hand, then held up her left hand and said in a deep voice, "Let me do it."
Nan Yan pursed her lips and nodded.
After all, it means cutting a cut on the hand. Even if you know there is no danger, girls are still afraid of pain.
If she did it herself, her hand might shake and she might even cut off her own fingers.
Zhu Feng picked up the dagger and lightly scratched her fingertips——
"hiss!"
Nan Yan gasped and felt a sharp pain on her fingertips. Immediately, a drop of blood appeared.
Monk handed the jade disc to her hand, and Zhu Feng pinched her fingertips and shook it gently.
A drop of blood fell onto the jade plate.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on that drop of blood.
Although Nan Yan's attention was focused on that, her finger still felt a little painful. The next moment, she saw Zhu Feng pinching her fingertips, putting them in his mouth, and licking them gently.
“……!”
A warm, wet, and soft feeling passed through the wound.
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned red.
Monk and Arslan, who were standing opposite, also saw it. Their expressions changed, but neither of them said anything.
Only Arslan coughed lightly.
Zhu Feng asked, "Does it still hurt?"
“…”
I can't even say anything.
Nan Yan blushed, pulled her hand back from his, and gently placed it on her chest, feeling her heart pounding.
Why do you do this in front of so many people?
So embarrassing!
Although the most important thing was happening right in front of her, she couldn't help blushing and her heart was beating fast. She could only try her best to focus her attention back on the jade plate.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, how long will this take?"
“…”
Monk looked up at her in the firelight and said, "I don't know."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.
Zhu Feng also frowned.
Monk said, "I just told you that the blood and essence of the descendants of the jade disc's owner will be somewhat similar to that of the owner, but I don't know how long it will take to identify them."
"Didn't the wizard tell you?"
"Nothing like this has ever happened before."
“…”
So, the wizard doesn't know either.
That's why he hesitated to speak just now.
Monk said: "So, we can only wait."
“…”
At this time, of course there is no other way.
The strange thing is that the blood beads did not melt in, nor did they show any signs of drying up or solidifying. It seems that this jade disc is indeed special and can keep the blood beads in existence.
However, time passed by little by little, and the drop of blood did not move at all.
Nan Yan felt a little uneasy in her heart.
In the end, everyone couldn't hold on any longer.
Zhu Feng asked someone to come up and light a pair of bonfires on the beacon tower - fortunately, at this time, no one would pay attention to the beacon fires here - they sat down around the bonfires and placed the jade disc in the brightest place where the firelight could reach.
Nan Yan sat next to Zhu Feng, staring at the drop of blood.
Gradually, the fire flickered.
She slowly leaned on Zhu Feng's shoulder and felt his hand reaching out and embracing her. A feeling of security came over her.
So, I closed my eyes in fatigue.
I don’t know how long it took.
Nan Yan felt her hands and feet were a little numb. She opened her eyes and saw the flickering fire. She was confused for a moment, then immediately opened her eyes again.
How did I fall asleep?
Zhu Feng beside him said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Nan Yan turned to look at him. He was holding a water bag in his hand, ready to drink some water. Then she realized that she had fallen asleep on his shoulder without realizing it.
Nan Yan was still a little confused and murmured, "Your Majesty, what time is it?"
Zhu Feng glanced at the sky in the distance and said in a deep voice, "It's almost dawn at 11:00 AM."
"Huh? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I'll help you keep an eye on it."
He, Monk, and Arslan were all awake, but Nan Yan hurriedly lowered his head to look at the jade disc.
Nothing happens.
That drop of blood is still there!
She couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on?"
At this moment, a voice sounded beside him - "Could it be that you are not?"
Turning around, I saw it was Mandu.
From the time they met until now, he had remained silent, almost making people forget his existence, but at this moment, he seemed to be unable to contain himself.
Monk and Arslan's expressions also became a little complicated.
Arslan murmured, "But, how is it possible?"
“…”
"I clearly saw that the princess' stone tablet on Xingluo Lake was erected by Si Boyan."
“…”
"If it wasn't him, who else could it be?"
Monk frowned, his face stern and serious. Before he could say anything, the soldier guarding the beacon tower suddenly shouted, "Who is it?!"
