Chapter 390: The Fated One
Chapter 390: The Fated One
To prove that she hadn't taken the wrong medicine, Meng Qianqian retracted her offer to repay her debt that day.
She turned over in bed, facing away from Lu Yuan, and angrily fluffed her pillow.
Within three breaths, her nose emitted a steady rhythm of sleep.
Lu Yuan, unsurprisingly, hummed, "I knew it."
After traveling for two months straight, even being cared for would be exhausting, let alone being the one caring for others. No wonder she had the energy to engage in intimate activities.
Lu Yuan pulled her into his embrace.
Though asleep, her body seemed to remember him, instinctively turning over and finding a comfortable position in his arms before sinking into a deep slumber.
Liu Muyan didn't need her juniors to set rules for her; except for Liu Qingyun, whom she woke up and took to clean the temple.
Liu Qingyun yawned, following her mother everywhere.
The only person who would wake her up early and put her to work was her mother.
Liu Muyan had lived the same routine for decades, and Liu Qingyun couldn't fathom how her mother endured such a monotonous life.
If this was the fate of the Miaojiang Goddess, she would rather not inherit her mother's mantle.
Miaojiang worshipped the Witch God and the Poison God.
Today, her mother knelt before the two statues for a long time, so long that Liu Qingyun wondered if the rules had changed during her absence.
She wanted to ask several times but held back.
Don't ask, for asking is a rule.
The memory of being beaten was vivid.
Finally, Liu Muyan finished the invocation ceremony for the two deities and stood up to leave the inner temple.
Liu Qingyun sighed, "Mother, you were in there for quite a while."
Liu Muyan replied, "Miaojiang will face a significant event."
Liu Qingyun was taken aback, suddenly remembering that the last time her mother was in there for so long, she said the same thing.
Soon after, the Bai family unified the divided Miaojiang and led it to surrender to the court.
At that time, her parents hadn't met, and she wasn't born yet; she only learned about it from her grandma when she grew up.
In recent years, Miaojiang wasn't entirely peaceful; there were always a few restless tribes wanting to defect, but her mother never mentioned it.
In short, these weren't significant matters to her mother.
Only a change in the ruling dynasty or the division of territories would be considered major events.
"Mother, is the Bai family in trouble?"
"I don't know."
Liu Muyan said, "I can't decipher the instructions of the Poison God and the Witch God. During every major calamity, there must be a fated person. The last one was the old Miao King."
The old Miao King ended the inter-tribal strife, bringing decades of protection and peace to Miaojiang.
However, he paid for it with his life.
His life was given by Heaven, and it returned to Heaven.
Liu Qingyun thought of the traitor in the tribe, apparently targeting the Duke's Mansion. Could the fated person be at the Duke's Mansion? Her son?
"Could the fated person be Ah Yuan?"
Liu Muyan shook her head, "I don't know."
Liu Qingyun thought for a moment, "Wait, it could be my father."
After all, dealing with Lu Yuan was Chancellor Xun's goal, and the traitor of Miaojiang was making a deal with Chancellor Xun. His real objective might be to kill Lu Yuan to destroy her father.
Liu Qingyun murmured, "The fated person... will definitely die, right?"
Either during the calamity or after it.
Liu Muyan didn't respond.
Liu Qingyun's heart began to race with anxiety.
Whether it was her father or her son, she didn't want either of them to be in danger.
She grabbed her mother's sleeve.
Though she had never begged for mercy, even when being beaten and chased around, she now looked at her mother with pleading eyes, "Mother, you're the Goddess of Wushan, you must have a way, right?"
Liu Muyan paused, then said, "Destiny cannot be defied."
A short chapter, but a great day nonetheless!
