Chapter 948: The Power of the New Contract
The Jiaotu in front had already left the courtyard, without noticing the two people he had left behind.
Jiang Xuxu's heartbeat was out of rhythm for a few seconds because of Chu Beihe's sudden words.
Returning to this small building, returning to this courtyard, the memories that she had deliberately suppressed were revived with his short two sentences.
The blessings for her and Chu Beihe mixed with the laughter that day seemed to ring in her ears again.
After several months, she returned here again.
The person next to her was still him.
But not completely him. With
an inexplicable grievance in her chest, she looked at him and asked,
"And then?"
There was a flame in her eyes, and she just looked at him steadily.
"Don't you always have the memory of Chu Beihe and me?
Is there anything special about my marriage to Chu Beihe?"
Although her voice was restrained, it still carried some emotion.
Chu Beihe's hand, which was originally holding her, stiffened slightly when he answered her question.
Just when Jiang Xuxu thought he would let go, he answered her question, "Special."
His voice was as deep as water, with a bit of seriousness, and he said to her,
"Your existence has always been special to me."
It's not just the marriage that is special.
She has always been special to him.
Dragon Veins cannot form a bond with others.
But she formed a marriage bond with him.
Even though the marriage contract disappeared with his complete awakening, it was still like an invisible thread, always pulling him.
Chu Beihe didn't understand why in the past.
But just now, he vaguely understood.
Because...
she married him.
Even if there was no formal vows, no marriage certificate, it was a "wedding" witnessed by the spirits of heaven and earth.
More importantly, "Chu Beihe"
regarded her as his wife in his heart after that day.
If she was not conscious, she and he were at most strangers who had a wrong contract.
But now, something is different.
Just like the marriage contract between Chu Beihe and her that was bound by Wenren Qiqi's deception, it was automatically dissolved as Longmai's consciousness awakened.
Now, also because of the awakening of the dragon vein consciousness, their marriage is like a new contract power, trying to bind the two of them again.
Jiang Xuxu stared at Chu Beihe in front of her, and her originally calm mood was disturbed again because of his sudden words.
Under Chu Beihe's own bright golden light, she did not notice that there were golden spots in the golden light quietly condensing into a circle on her wrist that was pulled.
However, just when the golden light circle was about to close, the voice of Jiaotu came back from outside the courtyard.
"Xuxu, Brother Beihe, hurry up, it's time for dinner..." When they
reached the gate, they suddenly saw the two holding hands. Jiaotu's eyes widened and his voice instantly became weaker.
"Did I... disturb you..."
Jiang Xuxu was brought back to her senses by this voice and subconsciously pulled her hand away from Chu Beihe's.
The light circle that was about to gather on her and Chu Beihe's wrists suddenly dissipated because of her action.
Jiang Xuxu glanced at it from the corner of her eyes and saw only the golden light spreading around Chu Beihe. Without thinking much, she turned around and walked out of the yard quickly.
Chu Beihe also looked down at the golden light spreading from his wrist, his black eyes slightly condensed, as if thinking about something.
…
Jiang Xuxu and her two companions stayed in the Cultural Relics Village for two days, and the person sent by the Security Bureau to receive them arrived.
And it was someone Jiang Xuxu had never expected.
A person rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Xuxu! Do you miss your mother?!" The person
who came was a very popular person. Probably only a mother could hug Jiang Xuxu and stroke her head like this without being blown away by Jiang Xuxu.
But Jiang Xuxu was indeed a little allergic to such intimate behavior in public.
After pulling the person away, she asked,
"Why are you in charge of receiving the cultural relics clones?"
Wenren Qiqi was not sad to be pulled away, and shook her hair,
"Why can't it be me? I brought them all back from abroad."
It was she who brought the cultural relics back in a half-soul state,
it was she who built this cultural relics village with her own hands and isolated it in the barrier from the outside world,
and it was she who set the self-destructive plan of exchanging less for more for the cultural relics.
Naturally, now it should be her who uses the replica of the half-soul clone that placed the cultural relics in the British Museum.
Or it should be her.
This matter was decided with Li Ting's application as early as when she came back from the other world and heard about Jiang Xuxu's plan.
Jiang Xuxu knew that since Wenren Qiqi had said that, she had already made up her mind, so she did not try to persuade her, but only asked,
"Are you sure?"
Hearing the concern in her words, Wenren Qiqi smiled calmly,
"It is indeed not that easy to switch the clones of the cultural relics under the noses of those foreigners. But I am different from other people in the Security Bureau. I have experience~"
Jiang Xuxu: ...
She was convinced.
In terms of experience, no one can compare to her.
Wenren Qiqi said again,
"I will leave after receiving this batch of clones. In addition to the accompanying Security Bureau personnel, your brother will go with me."
Jiang Xuxu was stunned. Jiang Huai is going too?
Wenren Qiqi nodded.
Although the Demon Hunter Association is mediating, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen at the Qiying Pavilion. With Jiang Huai around, he is more useful than those people in the Security Bureau when bargaining is needed.
Coincidentally, this is not the first time that Jiang Huai has cooperated with people from the Security Bureau.
And Wenren Qiqi heard that her eldest son had privately discussed with Li Ting.
After the mission was successfully completed this time, Li Ting helped him to strive to enter the Xuanguanhui.
I don’t know why he suddenly became interested in that place...
Jiang Xuxu was completely speechless after hearing this.
But knowing that her brother and mother were going there, she suddenly hesitated.
Should she go with them?
After all, it is a foreign territory, and they are asked to do such a dangerous thing. Jiang Xuxu always feels a little uneasy in her heart.
Perhaps seeing what Jiang Xuxu was thinking, Wenren Qiqi just touched her head and said,
"Don't worry, your mother came here from another world alone."
It's not a direct confrontation with the Demon Hunter Association, so she is not afraid at all.
As for Jiang Huai...
thinking of what Wenren Baixue said, taking him abroad with her, Wenren Qiqi felt more at ease.
While they were talking, the head of the Security Bureau who came with them had already brought people to inspect this batch of replicas, and now only the last step before packing is left.
In order to keep the soul power in the replicas, the villagers need to inject another soul breath into their corresponding replicas.
This was also something they had agreed on before.
Compared to peeling off half of the soul to create an avatar, a soul breath plus a soul power is much simpler.
The village chief led the villagers to stand in a circle and blew a breath of soul towards the replica.
Above the clouds, a muffled thunder sounded from above the cultural relics village.
Chu Beihe raised his eyes and looked above his head, but ignored it.
Just when the clone was about to be completely completed, suddenly, black smoke rose outside the barrier of the cultural relics village, and then someone shouted from the bottom of the mountain -
"It's on fire! The mountain is on fire!"
The village chief and a group of villagers were about to be distracted when they were stopped by the leader of the security bureau next to them.
He glanced at the masters present and said calmly,
"Don't worry, it won't burn."
