Chapter 177: Chapter 177

It’s just that Qi Yunfan didn’t know, Miao Chengwang had been following him, and after Qi Yunfan left, Miao Chengwang carried Qi Yunwei out from the farmhouse.

When Miao Chengwang arrived, he personally witnessed Qi Yunfan killing his own sister, and now Qi Yunfan wanted to protect his sister. How could that be?

Miao Chengwang braved the heavy snow, carrying Qi Yunwei with one arm, and walked for a long, long time.

Many times he thought about making a move, but every time he was about to act, Qi Yunwei would wave her chubby little hand at him, making it difficult for him to do so.

In the end, Miao Chengwang took off the Jade Pendant from his waist, containing the Beauty Face Gu eggs, and placed it in Qi Yunwei’s swaddling clothes.

The Beauty Face Gu eggs in the Jade Pendant come alive upon contact with water. Now that it is snowing heavily, whether they live or die depends on Qi Yunwei’s own fate.

Miao Chengwang left Qi Yunwei in the snowy night and walked away.

He found Miao Qinya’s body and carried it on his back.

He buried it in a cave, and later hired craftsmen to seal the cave with layer upon layer of iron doors, and covered the entrance with a stone slab.

It’s just that when he was finally dealing with the craftsmen who participated in the burial, he found one missing.

Qi Yunfan returned to the valley and told the outside world that he had not found Miao Qinya. Miao Chengwang did not expose him either.

Both of them pretended as if nothing had happened, going out whenever they had time to continue searching for Miao Qinya and Qi Yunwei.

When Qi Yunfan went back to the farmhouse to visit Qi Yunwei, he found that the elderly couple had been dead for a long time. Only then did he feel a chill down his back, realizing that he had been followed that day.

Qi Yunfan was really panicking now; the sister he had managed to find was lost again.

Qi Yunfan was not foolish. He thought about everyone who had walked in the same direction with him back then and guessed that the one following him was Miao Chengwang.

However, when facing Qi Yunfan’s questioning, Miao Chengwang did not admit it.

It was only after Qi Yunfan left that Leng Xuetong got furious and threatened Miao Chengwang with her life, which forced Miao Chengwang to tell the truth.

Qi Yunfan and Miao Yingyao had been betrothed since childhood, but Qi Yunfan believed that it was Miao Chengwang who killed his little sister.

Qi Yunfan harbored resentment toward Miao Chengwang, and consequently also disliked his little fiancée Miao Yingyao.

Miao Yingyao, at the age of twelve, eavesdropped on her parents’ conversation and then turned around to tell Qi Yunfan.

Upon finding out that his little sister was not dead, Qi Yunfan began looking for her all over the place again, proclaiming that if he couldn’t find his little sister, he would never get married.

Miao Chengwang discarded Qi Yunwei on a snowy night. If you ask for the exact place, he can’t specify, only knowing a general location on a desolate mountain road, but he remains silent.

Seeing how his precious daughter was about to become an old maid because of Qi Yunfan, Miao Chengwang and Leng Xuetong were anxious and thought about annulling the engagement between Qi Yunfan and Miao Yingyao.

Miao Chengwang and Leng Xuetong were in agreement, but Miao Yingyao wouldn’t agree.

She would rather die than not marry her brother Yunfan.

Miao Yingyao sighed, sighed again.

Originally, Brother Yunfan had already relented, and they were about to get married, but then she had the misfortune of being captured by Xi Sijin, and then bound by Jun Mobai, heading south all the way.

She wondered if Brother Yunfan and her father would come after her?

Yu Xiaolian understood; Qi Yunwei was indeed her.

She had three elder brothers, with Qi Yunfan being the eldest, now twenty-seven, and Miao Yingyao, the fiancée held off by her brother, already twenty-three.

At twenty-three, she was indeed considered a leftover woman in ancient times.

Apart from Qi Yunfan, she had two other brothers, Qi Yunan, twenty-four years old, and Qi Yujing, nineteen years old this year.

Among the three brothers, only Qi Yunan was married and even had two children. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

Miao Yingyao glanced at Yu Xiaolian’s expression, slightly uneasily saying, "That... my dad... didn’t do it on purpose.

Miao Yingyao felt embarrassed as she said this.

It was all her father’s fault; if it weren’t for him, Brother Yunfan wouldn’t have delayed marrying her for so many years.

And he was always so difficult towards her.

If it weren’t for her father, Yu Xiaolian might have grown up under Brother Yunfan’s watchful eye, receiving the love of her older brother.

For all these years, Yu Xiaolian must have suffered a lot as the adopted daughter of the Yu Family, right?

"Did your foster parents... treat you well?"

Yu Xiaolian never felt that Yu Changhe and Mrs. Sun were her foster parents; they treated her like their own daughter and even stood against the entire River Bend Village for her, enduring malicious words.

If it weren’t for her, Yu Changhe wouldn’t have a crippled leg, nor would he have severed ties with the Yu Family.

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "They treated me very well."

It was precisely because of Yu Changhe’s kindness that she didn’t flee with her spatial ability. While Mrs. Sun initially showed her no warmth, she was a sharp-tongued yet soft-hearted person.

Mrs. Sun was sharper-tongued than most women in the village, yet never hit or scolded her.

If Yu Changhe and Mrs. Sun had treated her poorly back then, she might have left.

Miao Yingyao and Yu Xiaolian exchanged silent glances, and after a moment of silence, Yu Xiaolian asked Miao Yingyao with a complex mix of emotions, "Is the Longevity Gu inside me?"

Miao Yingyao suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, "You didn’t know?"

Oh no, oh no, she caused trouble!

What if Brother Yunfan cancels the engagement?

Yu Xiaolian knew there was a Gu inside her body, but she didn’t know it was the Longevity Gu.

She thought the Longevity Gu was something constructed by the Witch Clan, not something that actually existed in the world.

Now Miao Yingyao was telling her that the Longevity Gu indeed existed and was inside her body.

If the Longevity Gu was truly inside her, and as Miao Yingyao said, it was something people were eager to obtain by any means, wouldn’t she be in great danger if it were exposed?

Miao Yingyao nodded, "It’s very dangerous."

Once the Longevity Gu acknowledges a host, it won’t change hosts unless the original host dies, then it will seek a new host.

This was also the reason why Qi Yunfan didn’t dare to bring Yu Xiaolian back to the clan back then.

Yu Xiaolian took a sharp breath, what a mess!

Having the Longevity Gu in her meant she could never lead a peaceful life.

Yu Xiaolian desperately asked, "Is there really no other way to remove the Longevity Gu?"

Miao Yingyao puzzledly said, "Why remove it? Everyone wants it, don’t you?"

The elders in the clan never managed to nurture a Longevity Gu in their lifetime and they longed for it to the point of madness.

If the elders knew Yu Xiaolian rejected the Longevity Gu, they’d probably die of anger.

Yu Xiaolian expressed her concerns, she just wanted a peaceful life, free from pursuits and being captured for her blood.

Miao Yingyao’s eyes grew wide, "Someone’s after your blood? Who would draw your blood? The Longevity Gu hasn’t even been awakened, so your blood shouldn’t be of much use, right?"

Yu Xiaolian quickly asked, "Awaken? Are you saying the Longevity Gu in me still needs awakening?"

Miao Yingyao slapped her mouth, blaming her fast tongue.

But since she had already let it slip, Miao Yingyao thought she might as well tell everything, as there was nothing more to hide.

Miao Yingyao cleared her throat, "It’s said that once the Longevity Gu is awakened, the host will stop aging and remain in the same state as at the time of awakening, experiencing no illness or pain.

The Longevity Gu can also...
