Chapter 635 Xiang Yanyan’s dying wish

The hall seemed to fall into silence for a moment.

Si Linglong's face was obviously stunned.

[Dead...dead? ]

Perhaps fearing that Helian Yue and Si Linglong might misunderstand, he sighed and explained, "For a Ban Jiao to sign a contract with someone, the person must be dying and willing, which is equivalent to living for the other person. Such conditions are rarely met, and there are even fewer Ban Jiao who can successfully sign a contract and go ashore."

This is also the reason why she did not suspect Hua Yan at first.

If she hadn't seen it today, she wouldn't have thought that there really was a Ban Jiao who could successfully complete the contract and even appear in the palace.

Hua Yan lowered her head and whispered,

"I rescued her from the water and she was bleeding a lot. I treated her wounds and gave her food, but she was dying."

Hua Yan said, "Before she died, I asked her if she could sign a contract with me, and she gave me her appearance and memories. But her memory is also fragmented, and she only has complete memories of the last three years."

Three years ago, Xiang Yanyan was abducted by kidnappers.

Maybe she got hit on the head accidentally on the road, and the kidnappers thought she was dead, so they abandoned her on the roadside.

After Xiang Yanyan woke up, she forgot all her past memories and could only survive by eating weeds on the roadside.

Later, she was rescued and adopted by a fishing family. During this period, she never recovered her memory until she was fourteen years old. She went to the mountains to catch rabbits and unexpectedly met a group of robbers. Those robbers intended to humiliate her, but Xiang Yanyan would rather die than comply. During the entanglement, she was stabbed by one of them.

The robbers threw Xiang Yanyan off the cliff, and she was picked up by Hua Yan, but she still died.

Si Linglong couldn't help sighing as Hua Yan talked about Xiang Yanyan's experience. According to the time when Xiang Yanyan was murdered, it was actually earlier than the time when the Xiang couple were murdered.

Thanks to A Yue's intervention, the Xiang couple luckily survived in secret.

But even though Xiang Yanyan met Hua Yan, she still couldn't survive.

This is probably fate.

But now, Xiang Tian still doesn't know that the Xiang couple are still alive, and only regards Hua Yan as his only relative in the world. If he tells him the truth now, he may not be able to accept it. He may even think that Hua Yan used magic to kill Xiang Yanyan and replaced her identity.

In this way, Ah Yue's original plan to keep the Xiang couple and bring him over might have become the same sinister and cunning plan as Bai Qianqian's.

Thinking of this, Si Linglong said,

"You'd better not let Xiang Tian know that you are not Xiang Yanyan."

Hua Yan nodded consciously, but she didn't dare tell that man that his sister was no longer alive, as she felt that he would cry.

After a pause, a look of confusion appeared on his face again, "Xiang Tian?"

Si Linglong then remembered that Hua Yan and Xue Shan didn't know Xiang Tian's identity yet, so she explained,

"Oh, Xiang Tian is Tianbao. He is an undercover sent by Concubine Lian to secretly murder me and A Yue."

Si Linglong's tone when she said "plot to murder me" was too calm, which made the two people present besides Helian Yue widen their eyes in surprise.

"Undercover!" Hua Yan's face changed. She never expected that Yan Yan's adopted brother had this identity. Should she still recognize him?

Compared to Hua Yan's panic, Xue Sha's eyes lit up. Not only was he not afraid, he was also very emotional.

"It smells like palace fighting."

Si Linglong blinked at her and said, "Hmm~"

朏朏：……

There's an undercover agent in the palace who's trying to harm someone. What are you doing?

Hua Yan said worriedly, "But if I fulfill Xiang Yanyan's wish, I will slowly return to my original appearance, and Xiang Tian will know that I am not his sister."

"Wish?"

Hua Yan nodded and explained, "After we signed the contract with Ban Jiao and the mortal, in exchange, we need to fulfill one of the other party's wishes. If we fail to fulfill the wish within the contract period, we will have to live in that person's place in the future."

What is said here is that living in place of that person means truly becoming a human being, losing the abilities of a mermaid and not having the lifespan of a mermaid. One can only slowly grow old and die like a real human.

Ban Jiao was born unable to go ashore, so if he tried to change his fate, he would naturally have to take risks.

Si Linglong hadn't expected this, so she asked subconsciously, "How long is the contract?"

Hua Yan said, "One year."

Xue Sha looked at Hua Yan. She was more curious about the other one than this one. She immediately tilted her head back and asked in a baby voice,

"So what is that human's wish?"

Xue Sha asked purely out of curiosity, but Hua Yan was suddenly dumbfounded by her question. A hint of panic flashed across her face. She subconsciously glanced at Si Linglong in front of her, and then her eyes shifted to Helian Yue who was sitting on the other side.

Helian Yue, who had just boiled water and was about to make tea:? ?

Then, Hua Yan withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and hesitated for a while before muttering softly, "Xiang Yanyan's wish is to enter the palace..."

Si Linglong raised her eyebrows. If Hua Yan just wanted to enter the palace, she would have fulfilled her wish.

Since it is not yet completed, it means that it is not as simple as entering the palace.

Thinking of the look she had just given A Yue, Si Linglong suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Hua Yan stammered, "Enter the palace and become a concubine."

With a bang, Helian Yue's hand shook as he was making tea, and the boiling water instantly overflowed from the teacup...
