Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 235: The Hidden Pearl of the Haidong Holy Nation

"Hehehe, you are finally here."

Seeing the saint like this, she was afraid that she might not have many days left to live. Qiao Lili was no longer in a hurry at this moment. She simply sat down to see what she had to say to her and whether she could help her solve her doubts.

"Well, is the Saint waiting for me?" Qiao Lili asked innocently. It was as if she was talking to an old man who was setting up a chess game on the side of the road, "Are you waiting for me to play this game?"

"Yes and no." The saint lowered her eyelids, as if their eyelids were too heavy and she no longer had the strength to lift them.

"I'd like to hear the details." Qiao Lili took out a fruit from her pocket and took a bite. This was the fruit that Yu Jingyan picked for her in the mountains. After thinking for a while, she took out another fruit and asked the saint, "Do you want to eat it?" Aren't we here to chat? Since your host doesn't prepare snacks, we can just bring our own fruit.

For some reason, Qiao Lili's originally anxious heart, which had always wanted to meet the saint to find the answer, suddenly calmed down at this moment, as if the dust had settled.

"I can't bite it anymore. This is the golden fruit. If you gave me this fruit in the past, I would definitely thank you very much. Now it is of no use to me. You do have an opportunity. Well, how could a person like you not have an opportunity?" The saint sighed, as if she was filled with infinite regret.

"Yeah, I'm just lucky." Qiao Lili responded vaguely while chewing a golden fruit. This was not the behavior of a rich lady, yet it was inexplicably harmonious.

"Yes, some people are lucky and all good things are fed to them. Some people are greedy and want to change their fate, but in the end, they ruin themselves." The saint finally raised her heavy eyelids and looked at Qiao Lili who was chewing the golden fruit.

"Promise me one thing, and I will tell you what you want to know." She wanted to wait for Qiao Lili to come and beg her, so that she would take the initiative. But looking at the girl like this, she was afraid that she would not come to beg her, and she no longer had time to wait.

"Then tell me what it is. I only do good things, not bad things." After finishing one fruit, he wanted to eat another one, but gave up because it was a bit sour.

"I have poured my life's wealth and energy into this altar, please don't destroy it." The saint lowered her eyelids again, her eyeballs rolling under her eyelids. Qiao Lili did not miss any of her expressions. She was up to something.

"This is my home. I have already prepared my coffin. I will lie in it and wait for death. This altar is underground, so just treat it as my grave." The goddess's chest floated a few times. It seemed that this was a very important matter.

"Well, no, it's not possible." Qiao Lili deliberately thought for a while before speaking, her tone dragging out very slowly, showing that she didn't care much.

"Okay, then what do you want to know?" The saint's voice was so unpleasant that Qiao Lili had the urge to find a voiceover for her.

"Doesn't it depend on what you want to say? See if what you said is valuable. This altar is priceless. These luminous pearls alone are also valuable." Qiao Lili looked outside through the window. It was as bright as day outside.

"I'll tell you everything I know. If you don't keep your word, I'll curse you." She stared at Qiao Lili with her turbid and terrifying eyes. "You should know how powerful the Saint's curse is."

"Oh, then I'm still quite scared." He said this, but his tone was contemptuous and indifferent.

The saint was accustomed to her attitude. What she wanted was verbal agreement. Attitude was not important. As long as she agreed, she had to do it no matter what the attitude was.

Suddenly, Qiao Lili's expression became fierce, and the pressure from her body dissipated. Even the Saint felt the coldness all over her body. Qiao Lili said sternly: "Medie, I want you to tell me everything you know."

Saint Maiden Mie Die shuddered involuntarily and replied casually, "Yes." No one had dared to call her by her name for so many years that she herself might have forgotten her name.

Mi Die drooped her eyelids and began to tell the story with her toothless mouth, making an extremely unpleasant sound.

"I am the 235th generation Saintess of Panhu Barbarians. I was born with auspicious signs and extraordinary talents, especially good at fortune-telling. When I was forty years old, I accidentally deduced through an accidental deduction that the pearl of the sea from the Holy Kingdom of Haidong had brought the treasure to Dayan."

Is her mother the hidden gem of the Holy Kingdom of Haidong? In fact, when she figured out the fire marks on herself and her mother, she almost guessed that they might have a close connection with the Holy Kingdom of Haidong, and their status was not low. After all, she had a makeup that could lead noble ladies to imitate. How could a woman who could keep this makeup more than a thousand years later be an ordinary citizen?

"Through divination, I know that my seventh disciple Miesha is most likely to accomplish this task, so I sent my seventh disciple to disguise as the daughter of the Bai family and go to Dayan to search for the treasure of the Holy Kingdom of Haidong. I also added a layer of luck to her."

"She was lucky enough to meet your mother on the road, become friends with her, and quickly figured out that your mother was the hidden gem of the Haidong Holy Country."

It was premeditated and a conspiracy. No matter how high her mother's status was, she was just a little girl at that time, a girl who grew up in a sect in the mountains and was ignorant of the world. How could she hide from people with ulterior motives? I'm afraid they must have studied her preferences from head to toe behind her back.

"Because Miesha was blessed with good fortune, she successfully married into the Marquis's mansion. No matter how much your mother disliked her, she couldn't resist her approach. However, she found nothing in her search for the treasure."

"But because I divined something I shouldn't have known, and even participated in it, and blessed others with good fortune, I suffered a strong backlash and my life span was reduced by twenty years. This is something I didn't know before."

Didn't she know that the fortune-telling against the will of heaven would bring her backlash? How could it be possible? She was talking nonsense with her eyes open. She just chose the higher one when weighing the benefits. Or after finding her so-called treasure, she could repair the backlash she suffered.

"You think that my life span was reduced by 20 years, does that mean that I should have lived to be 80, but ended up living to be 60? In fact, that's not the case. I aged directly from 40 to 60, and it's irreversible."

"I was originally forty years old, but I looked like I was in my twenties. However, overnight, I became a sixty-year-old woman and lost my ability to tell fortunes. This also caused my status as a saint in the hearts of the Panhu barbarians to decline. Since I paid such a huge price, I naturally don't want to stop."

"I don't want to look at other people's eyes, so I have to hide in my underground altar. This is the tomb I built for myself." She paused here. Qiao Lili sensitively felt that she had something else to say, but she stopped in an emergency.

"But this Miesha is so stupid. She actually killed your mother. That was the pearl of the sea of ​​the Holy Kingdom of Haidong. How dare she do that? She sent me a piece of jade pendant that is of no use at all and lied to me that it was a treasure she found. I really want to kill her, but I can't go to Dayan."

"In order to prevent the people of Haidong Holy Country from finding me, I took my disciples to hide in this underground holy altar. As long as we are here, Haidong Holy Country will not get any news about me. It has been more than five years now, and I have not seen the sun for more than five years."

"That jade pendant is a token of my parents' love. Please give it back to me." She must find this jade pendant and return it to her mother. She cannot let it be lost somewhere else.

"It's in the top drawer of the Treasure Pavilion. Go get it yourself."

Qiao Lili stood up, walked to the treasure cabinet, and opened the top drawer. Qiao Lili recognized at a glance that it was the jade pendant that her mother often played with in her hand.

She took the jade pendant in her hand, rubbed it slightly, and suddenly felt the flame mark on her forehead getting slightly hot.
