Chapter 735 Threat
Zhong Nianyao smiled and said, "I've found a way to increase their lifespan. They can probably live to around 150 years old. That way I'll have plenty of time to arrange everything when I get back."
Unlike Zhong Nianyao's playful smile, Lu Yichen's expression became serious, "Yao'er, tell me honestly, what did you do?"
If they were in the divine realm, he wouldn't have asked so many detailed questions. It was just about extending the lifespans of two mortals; there were many ways to do that. But right now, they were just in this small world.
In this small world, there's no magic bullet, and extending the lifespan of two ordinary people isn't an easy task. Zhong Nianyao must have used some extraordinary means to extend the lives of the two elderly people. Perhaps even at the cost of personal injury.
Looking at Lu Yichen's appearance, Zhong Nianyao thought for a moment before speaking, "I used my heart's blood."
When Lu Yichen heard that Zhong Nianyao had used her own blood, his face immediately darkened.
Seeing the grim expression on Lu Yichen's face, Zhong Nianyao quickly added, "But it's not much! Just a little bit. You know, grandpa and grandma are ordinary mortals and can't bear too much."
If I want the elixir that can prolong my life, I have to go back to Qingqiu to get it. I don't know if I can come back in time by then.
Her soul has now awakened, and the nine-tailed fox blood in her body has naturally awakened as well.
She is the last nine-tailed fox in the world, born with a spiritual body, and her heart blood is a tonic. Of course, her strength is also very strong, enough to make people dare not attack her.
Her heart's blood could prolong the lifespan of mortals. However, since Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were both ordinary people and not young anymore, she only used a tiny bit of it and didn't dare use more. Too much is as bad as too little. If they used too much, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful force and would explode and die.
However, it was only a little bit, enough to extend the lifespan of the two old men to about 150 years.
"Nonsense." Lu Yichen's expression turned even uglier. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were filled with both blame and concern. "Do you think Mr. and Mrs. Zhong can handle it? Are you planning to give them more heart blood? Do you even know what heart blood is?"
Whether mortal or god, heart blood is a vital thing, it is the essence of the body. Zhong Nianyao now used her heart blood so easily.
If you use your heart's blood carelessly, something unexpected might happen if you're not careful.
However, he was even more angry because Zhong Nianyao did not tell him when she made this decision. He was also angry because Zhong Nianyao was putting herself in danger.
"Don't be angry!"
Zhong Nianyao clasped her hands together, looked at Lu Yichen pitifully, and continued, "I've been very careful. Besides, the amount of blood I lost wasn't much, so it won't have any effect on my body at all."
She knew Lu Yichen would be angry, but she would still tell him. She felt that there was no need to hide things between two people. Otherwise, even the most profound feelings would become distant due to these concealments. Although the reason why she and Lu Yichen had reached such a point was due to someone's scheme, the lack of trust between them was also a major factor.
Using her heart's blood to extend the lifespan of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong was the only best solution she could think of.
"No effect, how do you know there is no effect?" Lu Yichen's face showed no sign of relaxation. "That is not an ordinary thing, that is your heart blood. If you rashly take out the heart blood, what should I do if something unexpected happens?"
"I'm fine now!" Zhong Nianyao continued to act coquettishly, "It's just a small matter. Besides, I'm fine now, right? I promise that if something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely discuss it with you first."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao like this, Lu Yichen was really at a loss. The matter was settled, and continuing to talk would not help. However, in such a situation, Zhong Nianyao still had to remember this lesson so that she would learn her lesson and not use such messy methods again.
Seeing that Lu Yichen didn't react at all, Zhong Nianyao continued to act coquettishly, "Don't be angry, we are on a date. If you keep looking so stern, I will go back first."
Lu Yichen couldn't help but find it a little funny. "You're actually resorting to threats now."
"I'm not threatening you." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "I'm just informing you. Now it depends on whether you want to continue being angry here or continue our date."
Lu Yichen couldn't help but shake his head in amusement, "Do I have any other choice now?"
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "This is the choice given to you! So, I think you shouldn't be angry now!"
Lu Yichen smiled helplessly, "Since you said that, how can I be angry?"
Zhong Nianyao smiled with satisfaction, "Since everything has been decided, let's stop talking about this nonsense. Let's finish lunch quickly and go out for shopping, a movie, and a date!"
Soon, the two of them continued talking. However, they both tacitly agreed not to bring the topic to other messy matters.
Time flies, three days passed quite quickly.
The Zhong family was peaceful and bustling at the same time. After all, the weddings of several people were almost all accumulated together.
Therefore, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong have been very busy during this period of time.
At this time, the news of Mr. Lu's death also spread in the imperial capital.
Not to mention the Zhong family, all the major families have received the news of Mr. Lu's death.
No one had expected that Mr. Lu would die so suddenly. You know, Mr. Lu was the pillar of the entire Lu family, the pillar of stability.
Without Mr. Lu, the Lu family is probably going to start going downhill.
Unlike everyone else, the Zhong family was stunned upon hearing the news of Mr. Lu's sudden death. Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were especially surprised; they clearly hadn't expected such a sudden change to happen. They were worried about how to proceed with Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao's wedding after Mr. Lu's sudden death.
