Chapter 1744 - 1744 Illusion
The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor
1744 Illusion
Speaking of which, Zi Chen had been silent for a long time. Even when she was at the God-Killing Tumulus and met with such a huge matter, Zi Chen didnât really respond.
He was usually a man with few words, and he wouldnât come out unless it was crucial. Chu Liuyue was long used to it, but she didnât expect hin to have some movements now.
âIâm fine,â replied Zi Chen after detecting her shock.
His voice was as low and hoarse as usual, but this wasnât Chu Liuyueâs first day of knowing him. Besides, they had an agreement, so Zi Chenâs every thought could not be hidden from Chu Liuyue.
ââ¦Is it because of that dragon moan?â Chu Liuyue tried to ask.
Zi Chen was silent for a moment before answering, âEn.â
His answer was brief and direct, but it made Chu Liuyue furrow her brows. She then thought for a moment and suddenly recalled something. âYour wings!â
Zi Chenâs body has two great phoenix dragon wing bones! Could it be because of this thatâ¦
âThat dragon moan came from the great phoenix dragonâs first ancestor, so it has such strong summoning power,â explained Zi Chen.
However, Chu Liuyueâs expression turned strange. Actually, the moment Zi Chen spoke, she guessed the reason behind this entire incident.
Zi Chen has two wing bones in his body and has even merged with that corpseâs purest strength. When he heard the ancestorâs summoning, the great phoenix dragonâs bloodline power hidden in Zi Chenâs body was affected as well.
It is very simple and can be thought of very easily, but the key is⦠What exactly is happening?! Zi Chen is a legendary three-eyed eagle! If he is to be related to an ancient legendary fiend, it should be the red-gold heavenly phoenixes! He has nothing to do with the great phoenix dragons, yet he could sense the great phoenix dragon ancestorâs summons because he has merged with that bloodline power. T-this is totallyâ
Detecting that Chu Liuyueâs expression was amiss, Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly. âYueâer, whatâs wrong?â
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath. After some thinking, she still chose to tell Rong Xiu about this.
Even though it sounded very strange, they had to be even more careful in other peopleâs territory.
When Rong Xiu heard it, he was dazed for a moment. Then, a faint light flashed across those deep phoenix-like eyes.
Chu Liuyueâs head ached terribly. She massaged her temples and didnât notice his slight change in expression.
âItâs just two wing bones and some bloodline power. I donât think it has much of an impact,â comforted Rong Xiu with a smile. âIn this world, there are quite a few legendary fiends with similar bloodline powers, but theyâre still different.â
Chu Liuyue nodded.
She was most worried that the incident would develop toward an unpredictable outcome.
The merging of the two wing bones with Zi Chenâs body, including the bloodline power, was akin to hiding a landmine. Chu Liuyue was terrified that he would explode. Of course, this was only her guess.
Just like Rong Xiu had said, Zi Chen had only merged this bloodline power. But in the end, he was still a legendary three-eyed eagle.
There shouldnât be⦠much of an impact, Chu Liuyue thought to herself silently.
âZi Chen, are you really okay?â Chu Liuyue was worried and asked again.
Zi Chen said he was fine.
Chu Liuyue then gradually let her guard down.
She had spent a lot of effort to help Zi Chen reform his physical body. She definitely didnât want Zi Chen to be implicated because of those two wing bones.
After confirming that Zi Chen was normal, Chu Liuyue retracted her thoughts and continued to delve deeper into the cave with Rong Xiu.
â¦
The depths of this cave had long exceeded Chu Liuyueâs initial estimation. Originally, she thought that it was an ordinary twisty cave, but as she walked, she realized that she was too naive.
This cave was really very deep! No, perhaps she should say that it was filled with twists and turns!
Walking inside, the path was either spacious or narrow, and there would be a curve every few steps.
After some time, it was easy to confuse someone, and they might not even be able to orientate themselves.
Chu Liuyue didnât have such problems; she had always been outstanding in this aspect, so such a path wasnât difficult for her. Hence, she quickly realized that they seemed to be turning around in this piece of land.
The bright light shone in as Chu Liuyue looked at her surroundings.
This place was already very far from the cave. However, there seemed to be more scratches on the walls.
In actual fact, during their journey over, there seemed to be such marks on the surrounding caves. From time to time, there would also be old and dried bloodstains.
Chu Liuyue looked calm, but she became increasingly shocked. Back then, the great phoenix dragon locked in here mustâve suffered a painful torment before it died! Even after so many years, the strong vengeance and mania that came from the bottom of its heart causes one to be taken aback.
Chu Liuyueâs mood became unwittingly heavy.
During this process, Zi Chenâs body didnât have the previous commotion in the dantian again.
The two of them silently walked forward. After about an hour, they stopped.
âWe were just here,â Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and said lightly.
Rong Xiu nodded. âIt seems like the person back then was also stuck here and couldnât go out.â
Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings.
They had been walking for a long time here, but they seemed to be going in circles.
âThis is actually an illusionâ¦â muttered Chu Liuyue softly.
When she came in, she didnât notice it at all! This illusion was too real, causing people to be unable to differentiate between what was real and fake!
Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look.
The path was deep and silent. They seemed to be⦠unable to get out!
