Chapter 620: Huge Pressure
After comforting Huang Wan with a few words, Yi Huai left the room and went to the next room.
Ever since Huang Wan had aged so much, they had been sleeping in separate rooms. He really didn't want to see Huang Wan's appearance. Or to be more precise, he couldn't accept the woman he once loved becoming like this.
Of course, he couldn't say it directly. His reason for sleeping in a separate room was that he was not feeling well and would have flare-ups from time to time, and he was afraid that it would affect Huang Wan's rest, so he slept in a separate room.
Back in the next room, Yi Huai sat at the desk with a dark look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, he was extremely conflicted, not knowing whether he should follow Huang Wan's advice and really go find that person. That woman was not a good person either. If he got things wrong, his fate might be even worse than it was now.
However, that woman was mysterious and possessed great power. If she was willing to help him, then his crisis this time would surely be resolved.
After a long moment, Yi Huai's eyes flashed with determination. He stood up, walked to the cabinet at the edge, squatted down, and opened the bottom drawer. Finally, he pulled out an antique wooden box.
He took the wooden box and walked to the desk, sitting down again. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly opened the box. Inside was a brocade pouch. Perhaps due to its age, the pouch's color had faded considerably, appearing somewhat pale.
Finally, Yi Huai gritted his teeth, took out the brocade bag, opened it, and then took out a yellow talisman paper from it.
Unlike the old brocade pouch, the talisman paper showed no signs of fading and looked exactly like new. The dark red color on the talisman paper didn't even look like cinnabar, but rather like blood, revealing an eerie glow.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Huai took out a lighter and lit the talisman paper.
The talisman paper immediately ignited upon contact with fire, and the smoke, as if conscious, slowly rose, but did not disappear. When the talisman paper was completely burned, a vague figure appeared in the air amidst the swirling smoke. Then, a cold and sharp female voice rang out. It was ethereal and pleasant, but the indifference in the words was enough to make people shudder.
"Who are you? Why did you summon me?"
Hearing that the other party had forgotten who he was, Yi Huai didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. However, thinking of his own purpose, he immediately put away his messy emotions.
Then, he spoke respectfully, "Sir, I am Yi Huai. It was you who helped me snatch life from Baili Leyao, allowing my wife to live for so many more years."
After the words fell, the woman remained silent for a long time before speaking, "So it's you! After all these years, I didn't expect you would still look for me. Why? Your wife has taken away so much of Baili Leyao's vitality and even her talents. You should be living a happy life together now. Why would you look for me?"
"Sir," Yi Huai hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "that matter has now been exposed. Baili Leyao has woken up, and her daughter Zhong Nianyao is now seeking revenge for her parents."
"What?" The woman's voice on the other end was filled with shock, and then anger. "Yi Huai, you loser, what on earth did you do?"
This simple sentence, however, carried with it endless pressure, causing Yi Huai's originally straight back to bend down.
Although he was sitting there, he could feel a very strong pressure coming directly from his back, enveloping him completely, and even breathing became a little difficult.
After a long while, the anger on the other end slowly subsided, and the cold female voice sounded again, "Tell me everything that happened. If you dare to hide anything, you know the consequences."
It was clearly just a few very light words, but Yi Huai could hear the murderous intent in them. He immediately told him what had happened recently.
As he narrated, his heart began to become bitter.
He couldn't help but think of what happened more than 20 years ago.
Back then, he and Baili Leyao were childhood sweethearts. However, he only treated her as a younger sister; the one he liked was Huang Wan.
However, he knew in his heart that given Huang Wan's status and position, and the fact that although she came from a family of witchcraft, she had no talent in witchcraft at all, her father would definitely not agree.
After that, his father discussed with Baili Hengyuan and arranged a marriage for him and Baili Leyao. Before he could figure out a way to resolve this marriage, he heard that Baili Leyao had run away from the marriage.
When he heard the news, he was secretly delighted.
However, his joy did not last long because something happened to Huang Wan.
For some unknown reason, Huang Wan suddenly fell ill, and the cause could not be found, but her body became weaker and weaker.
Huang Wan was not favored in the Huang family, and the Huang family did not care much about her illness. He wanted to help Huang Wan, but he did not dare to do anything openly. He could only secretly consult all the ancient books and even went out to find famous doctors, just to hope to cure Huang Wan, but it was of no use.
Later, he accidentally saw a method in an ancient book of his family that could use the vitality of others to prolong Huang Wan's life. However, the method was too harsh, and even though he knew the method, he had no way to do it.
Later, Baili Leyao came back and was pregnant, and the two families discussed canceling the engagement.
Originally, he planned to follow his father's wishes and cancel his engagement with Baili Leyao.
However, at that time, a mysterious woman came to him and said that she could help him use Baili Leyao's vitality to help Huang Wan prolong her life. She could even take away Baili Leyao's talents and give them to Huang Wan.
He was originally very hesitant. Although he didn't have any romantic feelings for Baili Leyao, the brotherly bond they shared was real. He really couldn't use Baili Leyao to prolong Huang Wan's life.
However, the development of things did not give him any chance to hesitate.
Huang Wan's condition took a turn for the worse, and it seemed that if nothing was done, she would die.
In the end, he agreed to the woman's method. He took advantage of Baili Leyao's weakness during childbirth and tampered with her body. He used magic to allow her vitality to continuously flow into Huang Wan's body.
Afterwards, Huang Wan's body gradually recovered.
