Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 640: Chapter 195: Lotus Planting in the Jasper Pool, Li Yuan Replaces the Emperor

The Ancestor is using me for marriage alliances.

Why can’t I use this child in my womb to bring glory to the Xie Family?

The Emperor has killed off the royal bloodline, and the child I carry is the only one left.

I had already planned to enter the deep palace in the future, prepared to face various perils.

But now... I don’t know what lies ahead."

She slightly tilted her head, a hint of inexplicable relief showing on her dignified face, "Xiaoyu’Er, in our family... Father is responsible for overseeing the entire situation, eldest brother is responsible for military support, and I am responsible for manipulating plots and schemes.

You, just focus on living well with Gucheng. Seeing you happy makes me feel happy too."

Li Yuan: ...

Xie Yu and Xie Wei talked for a while, and then parted ways.

...

The Xie Family was bustling, and not long after, cavalry could be seen approaching from afar, sent by Xie Feng to investigate the situation, led by a chiliarch.

This chiliarch waved the "Hanzhou Iron Cavalry" Deer Banner, which symbolized the "Hanzhou Iron Cavalry." Anyone who attacked him would be provoking the Hanzhou Iron Cavalry.

However, the chiliarch didn’t bring many soldiers, only a few dozen cavalry.

Although Xie Feng might seem foolish in other areas, he was very clear in his understanding of the situation.

If it were someone else, sharp on ordinary days but panicking in major affairs, they might have impulsively abandoned their troops and run back alone.

But not Xie Feng.

He knew that as long as he was with the thirty thousand strong Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, no one in the world would dare harm his family.

So, he only sent the chiliarch back to assess the situation and exert deterrence.

As for himself.

From this moment on, he no longer existed.

There was only "Xie Feng and the thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry" in the world, and no "Xie Feng."

...

Xie Wei returned to the new residence, and only then did the smile fade from her face.

How could there truly be a woman in the world who does not long for happiness?

She was merely deceiving Xiaoyu’Er.

But some tasks need to be done by someone.

In this family, only Xiaoyu’Er is naïve. Even her husband is as wooden as a block, making them a perfect match. So naturally, she, as the elder sister, has to worry more.

At this moment, Xie Wei’s enchanting eyes wandered around, seeming to search for someone.

She trusted her intuition...

The terrifying entity that assassinated the Emperor must have evaded her.

Thus, there must be some connection between them, although she hasn’t figured it out yet, it doesn’t stop her from trying to uncover it.

However, she never expected that the terrifying presence she sought was currently having tea with her younger sister inside the house.

...

"I’m going to go into seclusion."

Li Yuan said.

Xie Yu quietly responded, then asked, "At this time?"

Li Yuan replied: "I’ve had an epiphany; it’s fleeting... This time, I have a feeling it will take a long time."

A silent atmosphere spread.

The faint fragrance of tea drifted between them.

Xie Yu suddenly asked: "Are you trying to avoid getting involved in the Xie Family’s troubles? Do you think my sister is pregnant with the Dragon Child, while the Emperor has disappeared, which might cause unmanageable disaster?"

Li Yuan was at a loss for words.

He was on the verge of becoming the Emperor, and Xie Wei was passively becoming his "Emperor’s Woman."

What disaster was there to fear anymore?

But... he actually didn’t plan on following Lü Xuanxian’s approach.

In his heart, he was quietly weaving a bizarre, unexpected plan.

"Is that right?" Xie Yu suddenly grew stern, then lowered her head, saying, "If you really feel that way, just leave."

"I don’t feel that way." Li Yuan said seriously.

Xie Yu looked at his eyes, sighed softly, and changed the topic: "I wonder if the Emperor is dead... If he is, wouldn’t my sister become a widow?"

Li Yuan shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.

"Husband, who do you think that terrifying entity is?

How could he be so powerful?

This is like infiltrating the core area among thousands of troops to assassinate the Emperor, right?

Such a person, anyone he wants to kill, how could they possibly escape." Xie Yu pondered, resting her chin on her hand.

Li Yuan described to her the visions he had seen.

Xie Yu listened like it was a horror tale, and after a long while, she patted her chest, seriously contemplating: "The Ancestor was embraced by that fiery monstrous woman, and his head got hugged off, even his blood was burnt up...

Is that monstrous woman relying on embracing people to kill?

Husband, do you think there are people in this world who kill by hugging?"

Li Yuan said: "Maybe it’s some kind of mysterious martial art."

That night, Xie Yu spent a night sleeping in the terrifying monster’s menacing embrace...

The following day, Li Yuan went into seclusion.

...

...

Due to the Xie Family’s information blockade, the matter of the Emperor’s assassination and disappearance couldn’t spread.

At this time, Li Yuan had already returned to Cloud Mountain Path.

He first took a walk around Chenxi Manor.

The once vibrant landlady had aged a bit more.

It seems she no longer wanted to see her youthful face, thus had stopped taking the "Youthful Appearance Pill."

At nearly sixty, she had grown quite a few gray hairs and wrinkles.

Though she lost her youthful looks, her children found her more approachable.

Her grandchildren surrounded this kindly old woman, calling her by endearing affectionate terms.

And after realizing something, she sent the children away, and slightly turned her head towards the corner behind her, softly saying: "Must look terrible, right?"

Li Yuan didn’t say anything, as he did before, took her hand.

But Xue Ning gently pulled away, then smiled gently, "You should continue with your matters, in this life, I’ve lived happily."

After speaking, she was silent for a few seconds, then gently shook her head saying: "No regrets."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and directly told her about the "Divine Tomb."
