Chapter 1138 Do I look like your grandmother?
[There is only one Jiang Xuxu in the Jiang family.]
This was Jiang Zhan's answer more than two years ago when Wenren Baixue suddenly proposed to replace Jiang Xuxu as the daughter of the Jiang family.
Wenren Baixue seemed to have a whim at the time, but asked them to remember what they said.
She said,
[You can't let anyone replace her as the child of your Jiang family.]
It has been a long time, and I thought that except for him, the two younger ones, Jiang Su and Jiang Han, probably had forgotten, but I never thought that they still remembered.
When Jiang Su carefully explained their conversation with Wenren Baixue, Wenren Qiqi immediately thought of Wenren Baixue saying something similar to them before she came.
She looked at Wenren Baiyi and felt that she was probably the only one who could give the answer to this matter.
And Wenren Baiyi did know the answer.
"In the Wenren clan, every thousand years, there is a fox that can see the future of heaven and earth."
It was one of the clan elders who pointed out that half-demons might give birth to ten-tailed ancestral bloodlines and that the demon clan would be completely destroyed by the way of heaven.
Otherwise, just a rumor would not be enough for Wenren Baiyi to do such a thing as looking for humans to give birth to half-demons with the blood of the fox king.
It can be seen that the Wenren clan believes in its prophecy very much.
"After the clan elder who left the prophecy passed away, the clan waited for a thousand years before the next fox that could see the future of heaven and earth."
Wenren Baiyi said,
"That was Baixue."
Although Master Xuan can also see through a person's past and present lives through physiognomy, it is limited to humans.
There are only a few who can calculate the fate of animals like Tu Xingzhu.
And there are almost no people who can explore the past and future fate of the demon clan.
From this, we can see how rare such abilities are among the demon race.
Before Jiang Xuxu appeared, Wenren Baixue was the most talented young person in the Wenren clan. In addition, she had the ability to know the future of the world, so she had been trained as a reserve clan elder over the years.
As long as she grows up, she will definitely be one of the eight clan elders in the future.
But she is still young, and no one, whether Wenren Baiyi or the clan elders, has deliberately forced her.
Therefore, Wenren Baixue has actually only made two predictions since she was born.
The first time was when she had just transformed into two tails, and that was also the time when everyone knew that she was the fox who would succeed the position of clan elder.
The second time was more than two years ago, when it came to Jiang Xuxu.
"She didn't tell the tribe about this. If she hadn't come to me and Qiqi this time, I wouldn't have known that she had predicted you more than two years ago."
Seeing that Wenren Baiyi didn't look proud or happy when she said this, Jiang Xuxu knew that the so-called ability to know the future of the world was not as simple as it sounded.
It is well known that the more powerful the magic that can violate the rules of heaven, the higher the price required.
This is true for Master Xuan, and even more so for the demon tribe.
"What is the price of Baixue's prediction?"
Wenren Qiqi naturally thought of what Jiang Xuxu could think of. Hearing this, she looked at Wenren Baiyi nervously.
In addition to them, Jiang Zhan subconsciously held his breath and looked at Wenren Baiyi, as if waiting for her answer.
Since Wenren Baiyi had said it, she had no intention of hiding it, so she said directly,
"Every prophecy requires a certain number of years of life as a price."
The greater the future you want to know, the more years of life you have to pay.
Otherwise, why did that elder disappear first among the nine elders?
Because the Ten Tails was born from the Heavenly Dao, all the prophecies about the Ten Tails are only one step away from peeking into the Heavenly Dao.
Although Jiang Xuxu was not the Ten Tails when Wenren Baixue made the prophecy, the content of the prophecy was also about the Ten Tails.
It is conceivable that she must have paid a considerable price.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuxu didn't care to continue asking Jiang Su and the others about the specific situation in the illusion. She flashed, and the Ten-Tails Domain opened and instantly brought her to where Wenren Baixue was. Seeing this,
Chu Beihe immediately followed and disappeared.
Seeing this, Wenren Baiyi also took Wenren Qiqi with her to leave together.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhan subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to speak, but the people around him disappeared one after another.
He pursed his lips and held the red rope at his wrist, with a bit of solemnity and worry between his eyebrows.
It turned out that she was the same as him.
...
The night sky was as dark as ink, and the moon was hanging high.
The courtyard of the clan where Wenren Baixue was located was brightly lit with candles.
When Jiang Xuxu came over, he saw candles everywhere in the house.
The flames flickered, leaving only a path for people to pass.
The other end of the path led directly to the bed.
At this moment, a person was lying quietly beside the bed, without a sound.
Jiang Xuxu stepped through the passage paved with candles, and appeared beside the bed in a flash. He stretched out his hand and helped Wenren Baixue, who was lying on the bed, up.
Turning his body over, Wenren Baixue's face looked extremely pale in the light of the candles in the room, especially the bloodstains on the corners of her mouth, which looked like she was broken after suffering a backlash.
Jiang Xuxu's eyebrows trembled, and the hand holding her tightened slightly.
Wenren Baixue opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Jiang Xuxu, her eyes lit up slightly, and she spoke weakly with a relieved smile,
"Xuxu, you're back."
With a weak smile on her lips, she said, "Congratulations, you are now a real Ten-Tails."
Jiang Xuxu's eyebrows trembled again, and he nodded, "Well, thank you so much."
"I'm fine."
Wenren Baixue smiled weakly, "As long as you are fine, I'm willing to do anything."
As she said that, she suddenly tilted her head and spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face became even paler.
When Wenren Baiyi and others came over, they saw this beautiful and illusory scene.
Wenren Qiqi's face tensed up, and she subconsciously rushed forward, but was pulled back by Wenren Baiyi.
Chu Beihe shook his head at her, and Wenren Qiqi's eyes suddenly turned red, "Bai Xue..."
Her little cousin!
As if hearing her voice, Wenren Baixue tried to turn her head towards her. With blood on the corner of her mouth, she still tried to comfort her,
"Cousin, don't cry. If I can help Xuxu, this is just a small price I've paid... It's nothing."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly became a little dazed,
"It's a pity that I can't see Xuxu's Ten-tail appearance with my own eyes... The Ten-tail must be very beautiful..."
Jiang Xuxu lowered her eyes and said nothing. She just reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. After a long while, she said,
"If you want to see it, I'll take you to see it later."
Wenren Baixue smiled again, "That's great, but I probably won't be able to wait... Xuxu, look at the lights in the room, they're so beautiful. I seem to see myself in these lights, and I'm too cute..."
"You're seeing wrong." Jiang Xuxu said.
"Now that I'm like this, don't refute me. My great-grandmother...how can I not recognize her?"
Jiang Xuxu rarely took her seriously, "...If you say so, then it must be."
His hands continued to carefully wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Wenren Qiqi over there almost cried.
At this moment, another familiar breath appeared in the room.
Then, a ball of fox fire first appeared in the swaying candlelight, and soon, the figure of Wenren Muya Nanawei appeared in the fox fire.
Her fox shape was seen to grow rapidly in the fox fire, and a fox face approached Wenren Baixue who was beside the bed, with a dangerous and gnashing look, and asked her,
"Do you think I look like your great-grandmother?"
