“Huolan Nation was already overturned hundreds of years ago. There are very few people with bloodlines now. How can you be from Huolan?” Shen Yaowei’s tone was a little doubtful.
Lou Baihua fell silent. In the end, she sighed and said, “Miss is definitely not an ordinary person. We can’t lie to you. We’re actually all living dead and have long lost our lives. Now, we need someone to help us revive, and Miss, you’re the key.”
Shen Yaowei looked into Lou Baihua’s eyes and saw calculation in this woman’s eyes.
Shen Yaowei immediately realized that the other party had ill intentions. Her gaze became even colder. Just as she was about to refuse, she actually felt waves of spatial power in her body.
For a few days, there were no fluctuations in the spatial power. Shen Yaowei looked at Lou Baihua tentatively and asked, “If you’re the living dead of the Huolan Nation, you should know how to control the spatial power, right?”
The people of Huolan Nation had always been able to control the power of s.p.a.ce. Since the people in front of her were the orphans of Huolan, they might be able to help her control the spiritual power in her body.
“Although we’re not proficient in controlling the power of s.p.a.ce, we have ancient books that introduce the method to control the power of s.p.a.ce in detail. If Miss is interested, you can go back with us. We’re willing to hand the cultivation manual to Miss.” Lou Baihua was unwilling to miss the opportunity. She looked at Shen Yaowei and said excitedly.
Seeing that Lou Baihua was definitely not a kind person, Shen Yaowei sensed the fluctuations of the spatial power in her body, and her eyes burned.
Even if she knew that these people in front of her weren’t good people, in order to learn to control the power of s.p.a.ce, she had to take the risk.
“Sure, if you can teach me how to use spatial power, I can also help you,” Shen Yaowei said.
“Thank you, Miss. Hurry, invite Miss back.” Lou Baihua and the high priest stood side by side. As she watched Shen Yaowei leave, her expression immediately darkened.
The high priest touched his white beard. “Princess, it’s been hard on you to tolerate the humiliation and bewitch this woman.”
“I originally thought that it was a man with tender skin who entered the ruins, but I didn’t expect it to be a woman. High priest, could it be that she’s the destined person?” When Lou Baihua mentioned the destined person, fear appeared in her eyes.
“We’ll only know after this woman goes to the forbidden area. Whether she is or not, we have to keep her first. If this woman can help us complete our great undertaking, it’s fine for us to accommodate this woman for the time being.” The high priest looked at Lou Baihua worriedly and reminded her. “That thing should have also sensed that someone had entered the ruins. We have to attack before it comes looking for us.”
Lou Baihua smiled gently, her light voice echoing in the air. “High priest, don’t worry, 1 know the severity. Let’s go, don’t let our guests wait too long…” Halfway through, Lou Baihua stepped on something. She lowered her head and saw that it was a small paper person.
She bent down and picked up the little paper person. Lou Baihua didn’t see any clues. She casually threw the little paper person to the side and strode in the direction where Shen Yaowei left.
At the same time, Shen Yaowei heard the conversation between Lou Baihua and the high priest word for word through the little paper person.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. Shen Yaowei remained calm and followed Lou Baihua and the others back to their residence.
The entire Huolan Race was overjoyed by Shen Yaowei’s arrival. A group of people prepared a grand banquet, and everyone had respectful expressions when they saw her.
At the banquet, Shen Yaowei was arranged to be beside Lou Baihua. Her position was high and mighty. Her gaze swept across and she could see everyone’s expressions.
Shen Yaowei had always been good at prying into people’s hearts. With just a glance, she could tell that these clansmen seemed to be extremely respectful to her, but in fact, their eyes were filled with calculations, as if they were treating her as a lamb waiting to be lolled.
Shen Yaowei raised her wine gla.s.s and drank a gla.s.s of wine. Seeing that Lou Baihua was sticking to her with a smile, she poured her another gla.s.s of wine.
“Miss, please,” Lou Baihua said gently with a harmless smile.
Shen Yaowei shook her head and rejected Lou Baihua. “There’s no need. According to the agreement, you should tell me how to control the spatial power.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
“Miss, why are you in such a hurry? You’re an honored guest to us, so we should treat you well. Why don’t you enjoy it first? We’ll talk about everything tomorrow…” Before Lou Baihua could finish speaking, she saw Shen Yaowei stand up without hesitation.
“Since you’re unwilling to explain, there’s no need for me to waste time with you.” Shen Yaowei was just about to leave when she was stopped by the high priest.
“Your Highness, you don’t want to trouble Miss, but Miss is anxious. Your Highness, tell Miss the truth.” As the high priest spoke, he didn’t forget to give Lou Baihua a look.
Shen Yaowei narrowed her eyes acutely and looked at Lou Baihua. “High priest, what do you mean?”
Lou Baihua sighed and lowered her eyes to hide the rolling light in them. “Please forgive us, Miss. Actually, the method to control the spatial power isn’t with us. If we want to control the spatial power, we need to activate the ancient s.p.a.ce Exploding Array formation. But now, this array formation is guarded by an extremely cruel, ferocious beast, and according to rumors, only people who have stepped into the ruins can activate the array formation. That’s why I invited Miss over, wanting to slowly tell you about this…”
“In other words, you want to use me to open this empty array formation,” Shen Yaowei said simply.
When Lou Baihua heard this, she widened her eyes and hurriedly waved her hand. “Miss Shen, you’re thinking too much. I definitely don’t have such an idea! However, we hope that when Miss activates the array formation, you can send us away.”
Shen Yaowei narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean? Make it clearer.”
Lou Baihua had a pained expression. “To be honest, Miss, we’re actually not living people, but undead who have died once. We shouldn’t have stayed in this world. We’re barely alive, but we’re actually not happy. Our lives are connected to the s.p.a.ce Exploding Array formation. Only when we activate the s.p.a.ce Exploding Array formation will our souls be swallowed and really die. Back then, someone thoughtful used a forbidden technique to trap our souls in this world and let us stay in it for hundreds of years. We’re already tired of eternal life and only want to be buried in peace.”
Lou Baihua kneeled down in front of Shen Yaowei. “We didn’t mean to hide it from you, Miss. We just hope that you can give us a way out. For this, we’re willing to provide a map to the array formation. Please kill the Beast King and activate the array formation to obtain the inheritance!”
“Miss, please kill the Beast King and activate the array formation!”
As the voices of the surrounding people sounded, the crowd became a level shorter and knelt down in front of Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei was among the crowd. She lowered her eyes and took in this scene without any ripples in her eyes.
Seeing that Shen Yaowei didn’t say anything, the high priest and Lou Baihua couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
“If Miss wants to control the power of s.p.a.ce, obtaining the inheritance is the only way!” The high priest maintained her kneeling posture and moved her knees two steps closer to Shen Yaowei. “Miss Shen, please help us. As long as Miss agrees, we’re willing to hand all our treasures to Miss..”
