Zhu Tong nodded and said, "I do value it. Although I don't have much affection for my own kind, this White Jade has shown signs of transforming into a human form. I haven't seen it before, so I don't know what its personality is like, but its ferocity has been basically erased. So, I want to take advantage of its weakness and scare it more. You should also care for it and love it, so that it will be grateful and dependent on you. Otherwise, when it transforms into a human form in the future, it will be difficult for you to gain its favor."
Lan Zhi could feel that her sister was truly thinking about her. "But what if Bai Feicui holds a grudge against you in the future?"
"I don't care." A smile spread across Zhu Tong's face, a soft light flowing from her emerald green pupils. She said, "Each ferocious beast is an independent individual, and there is a natural competition between them, competing for food and resources. If two ferocious beasts meet on the road, they will directly fight. Although the situation will be much better after transforming into human form, and they will not be as hostile to their own kind as before, they will basically not become friends. Neither of them will submit to each other. Bai Feicui and I can't establish a good relationship. It's better for me to play the bad guy, make it fear me and hate me, and then you can come forward to protect it. After all, it can't beat me. Once a ferocious beast transforms into a human, its strength is equivalent to that of a Chengyuan Realm Spiritual Master..."
At this point, Zhu Tong's head suddenly ached. She frowned and muttered to herself, "I've long since transformed into a human form and consumed numerous heavenly treasures. Plus, I've lived for so many years. Logically, I should be much stronger than the Cheng Yuan realm... but why am I so weak?"
"Sister, you are not weak, you are very strong." Lan Zhi saw that she was not in good condition and took the initiative to put her arm around her shoulders.
Zhu Tong looked dazed and shook his head, "No, that's not right. I feel like I've forgotten something very important... I should be very strong... I shouldn't be so weak... Someone has stolen my power..."
She spoke incoherently and her expression gradually became crazy, as if she was recalling some bad memories.
"Sister, sister, calm down. Don't worry if you can't remember. Sit down and think about it slowly." Lan Zhi spoke in her ear, but she acted as if she didn't hear it. She was completely immersed in her own world, with empty eyes, and for some reason, mist appeared in her eyes.
After a long time, Zhu Tong blinked and crystal tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Why am I...crying?"
Zhu Tong came back to her senses and felt the wetness on her face. She was confused for a moment. She had a terrible headache just now, and many images appeared in her mind, but the images were too messy and too blurry. She couldn't see anything clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything, and... endless sadness surged in her heart, and tears flowed out inexplicably. Zhu Tong herself didn't understand why she was sad.
"I must get back my lost memories." Zhu Tong's eyes flashed. She used to think that her memory was complete. In addition, she often slept, and many unimportant things were forgotten unknowingly. She didn't realize what was wrong with her memory. Until today, perhaps because there was a blood resonance between her and Bai Feicui, or perhaps for some unknown reason, the previously blocked memory showed signs of revival.
Zhu Tong hugged Lan Zhi and said, "Your beast has extraordinary bloodline. Take good care of it. Call it out from time to time to cultivate a relationship."
"...Okay, I'll try my best." Lan Zhi nodded. After all, after Prince Rui died, only Yuan Zhan and Jiang Qingcheng were left. She didn't have anything else to do. She just needed to focus on taking care of the baby after getting married. She should have time to take care of the white jade... right?
Although Lanzhi prefers soft and furry animals, she just likes to touch and hug them.
Zhu Tong added, "I've decided to go to the place where I used to live to look for clues... I might be away for a few days... or maybe ten days, I'm not sure how long... During this time, if you need to find me urgently, please contact me through this."
As she spoke, she turned her palm over, and quietly lying in the palm of her hand was a small piece of emerald green and transparent bamboo. The bamboo was warm and smooth, and felt like jade.
"When you miss me, drop a drop of your blood on the bamboo, so that we can communicate through the air." Zhu Tong said.
"Okay." Lan Zhi nodded, wondering how often she should contact Zhu Tong. Personally, her emotions were rather... indifferent. Well, she couldn't say she was indifferent. She loved her brothers dearly, but if her second and third brothers stayed at the academy for a long time and didn't come back, Lan Zhi wouldn't miss them particularly. As long as her brothers were safe, it didn't matter if they saw each other every day.
Therefore, if Zhu Tong left, Lan Zhi would probably miss Zhu Tong occasionally, but they would not contact each other often. However, Zhu Tong is a relatively sensitive humanoid beast, and he longs for care in his heart. Lan Zhi guessed that he "longs for care" because Zhu Tong likes to hug Lan Zhi to sleep every night, is usually very attached to Lan Zhi, and seems to lack a sense of security.
Lan Zhi is the type of person who believes in "if you treat me well, I will treat you well too." Zhu Tong treats her well, so she should also give Zhu Tong more love. So... contact him every three days?
"Also, if you encounter danger, you must ask me for help in time, okay?" Zhu Tong added seriously.
Lan Zhi nodded, then asked, "Sister, do you need help over there?"
Zhu Tong laughed, buried her face in Lan Zhi's neck, and said, "I'm very capable, I don't need you to worry about me."
Lan Zhi said: "But what does searching for memories have to do with being powerful..."
Zhu Tong said: "Of course, if I encounter danger, I can handle it myself."
"Although I am not good at fighting, I can help you analyze the situation and give you some advice..." Lan Zhi said. It was mainly unfortunate that Shangguan Jianxing had just left today. Otherwise, she could ask Shangguan Jianxing for help. The other party possessed the Rune of True Knowledge and had some research on memory modification.
Zhu Tong said: "Okay, if I don't find anything, I will come back to find you."
After Zhu Tong left, Lan Zhi stood there for a long time. There were suddenly two fewer people in the mansion today, which made Lan Zhi stunned for a moment. It felt like the entire Lan Mansion had suddenly become empty...
Although it was empty before, because there were not many people in the mansion itself, Zhu Tong had always been around Lan Zhi, and now that he suddenly left, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
However, this is also good. Whether it is Shangguan Jianxing or Zhu Tong, they all moved in for her. As for Jiang Qingcheng... tonight is her death day.
After she died and Lan Zhi got married, the only people left in the entire Lan Mansion were the two young masters of the Lan family, the housekeeper Chen, and the brothers' master Beitang Sanyu.
