Shen Yijia did not move and let him clean her up.
When her hands became fair again, she held Song Jingchen’s face and kissed him. She smiled and said, “Hubby, you’re the best.”
Song Jingchen was slightly stunned. He put away the handkerchief and pulled her into his arms. As he turned the rabbit meat to roast it, he asked, “Why are you here alone?”
Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly, “This place is high up. I can see the entire area.”
“Why do you have to look far away?”
Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “I don’t know. I just feel that this world seems different in some way.”
Song Jingchen rubbed her hair and said softly, “That’s because now, you know that you belong here. It’ll naturally be different if you look again.”
Even if Shen Yijia had never said it, Song Jingchen knew that Shen Yijia had always treated herself as an outsider after suddenly coming to this world. She didn’t feel a sense of belonging here.
Just like duckweed floating in the waves, she did not know where she came from or where she would go. She happened to meet him and treated his location as her final destination.
She would go wherever he went.
Shen Yijia widened her eyes and turned to look at him. “You know everything?” “Yes.” Song Jingchen nodded. “Miaomiao said a little. I guessed most of it.”
Perhaps because he saw the portrait of the ancestor of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets in the secret room and knew Shen Yijia’s background, he had a vague guess.
Although he found it unbelievable, he could not use common sense to think that it was related to the mysterious Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
Shen Yijia hummed. “My husband is smart.”
“She said that she’s my mother.” Shen Yijia lowered her eyes. “She personally sent me away at the price of this.”
She pointed at the bud between her brows.
There was a forbidden technique in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets that could break through spatial barriers, but no one had ever tried it.
There was no other reason. The conditions to activate the forbidden technique were harsh. It had to be activated on the night of the blue blood moon. The person who activated it had to sacrifice their blood as a guide.
The Valley of Heavenly Secrets had relied on the Valley Master’s inheritance for generations. Not to mention that the night of the blue blood moon was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no one knew if this method would work. Who was willing to sacrifice their lives to try?
That year, Ji Luo calculated that the Blue Blood Moon would appear in October and that her daughter would be in a life-and-death crisis. Only then did she resolutely decide to activate the forbidden technique.
In order to make it in time for the Blue Blood Moon night, she didn’t even hesitate to use birthing soup to give birth prematurely.
This was also why the abbot said that Ji Luo had always told him that she didn’t have time.
“Do you blame her?” Song Jingchen asked.
Shen Yijia shook her head. “If she hadn’t sent me away, I might have died long ago.”
The people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets could use divination techniques. It would not be difficult to find the mother and daughter. For example, Ji Luo had been captured after hiding for ten years.
However, after sending her away, no matter how they tried, they could not find her location even through divination techniques.
Shen Yijia was not an ungrateful person. Even though she did not have a good life in the alternate world, she knew that Ji Luo was protecting her.
At least she had grown up alive.
“Then you…”
Shen Yijia turned her head away and said in embarrassment, “There’s suddenly another mother. I can’t call her that.” Song Jingchen was speechless.
“Hubby.” She looked at Song Jingchen seriously.
Shen Yijia sniffed. “The rabbit is cooked.”
Song Jingchen laughed. This was the Shen Yijia he knew.
After eating, Shen Yijia rubbed her stomach in satisfaction.
Seeing her heartless expression, Song Jingchen was completely relieved. He frowned and said, “Since she’s your biological mother, then Lord Jing’an…”
Thinking of all the things Xuanyuan Ce had done to him in the past and his careful tricks, Song Jingchen felt terrible.
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and said in disdain, “He’s probably my father.” Hmph, what a f*cking scumbag!
Thinking of something, she narrowed her eyes and revealed a dangerous signal. “Hubby, do you think the Yu family knows about my background?”
If she knew, the incident they encountered at the Xuanyuan Kingdom’s checkpoint might not have been targeted at Song Jingchen, but at her. Song Jingchen’s eyes turned cold. He had clearly thought of this too.
But that was strange, wasn’t it?
It was understandable that Xuanyuan Ce knew, but he did not even tell Shen Yijia, so he naturally would not tell anyone.
Before this, the only person who knew about this was…
“It’s Ji Yunxi.”
“It’s Ji Yunxi.”
The two of them said in unison.
Shen Yijia clenched her right fist and slapped her left palm. “Yes, it must be Ji
Yunxi. She must have reached some kind of cooperation with the Yu family. If I’m not wrong, even if we were captured at that time, I would have been sent to Ji Yunxi in the end, and you would definitely have been eliminated.”
Since they did not succeed at the checkpoint, Ji Yunxi had no choice but to do it herself. The other arrangements would take time, so Shen Yijia and the others waited for a few days, eventually encountering Xuanyuan Ce.
In other words, it was very likely that Xuanyuan Ce could come out alive because Ji Yunxi wanted him to guide them.
Song Jingchen shook his head. “That’s not entirely right. Lord Jing’an is the lord of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. His status is precious. If he’s killed or disappeared on the cliff ridge, the emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom will definitely get someone to turn the cliff ridge upside down. This won’t be beneficial to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.”
Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks. “Then is it really a coincidence that we met
Xuanyuan Ce?”
“I’m not completely right.” Song Jingchen explained patiently, “Chu Feng said that they accidentally entered the poisonous forest. Ji Yunxi must have deliberately lured them in.”
No matter what, nothing could happen to Xuanyuan Ce. The difference was that if they were captured at the checkpoint, Xuanyuan Ce would not be able to find the poisonous forest at all. In the end, he would probably only circle the cliff ridge for a few more days and return empty-handed.
Because she needed him to guide her, Ji Yunxi used a trick to lure him in.
In that case, from the moment they entered the Xuanyuan Kingdom, they had fallen into Ji Yunxi’s trap.
“Unfortunately, Ji Yunxi still lost.” Shen Yijia shook her head.
Song Jingchen corrected him. “Sinners never win.”
“Yes, yes. Hubby is right.”
Night was coming. On the way down the mountain, Shen Yijia laid on Song Jingchen’s back sleepily. She said in a muffled voice, “Hubby.”
“Yes.”
“I have a mother.”
“I know.”
Shen Yijia closed her eyes and could not help but smile. “So I have a mother too.” She was not an unwanted child.
She thought that she didn’t say the last sentence, but it actually entered Song Jingchen’s ears.
Song Jingchen’s heart ached. He tightened his grip on her knees. “Yes. You also have me..”
