Chapter 913 - 271: [Execution] (Supplement)_3
After Shen Shiqi finished speaking, Chen Yan solemnly nodded, "Alright!"
"The second matter... Dean Shen was kind to me, I..."
"Don’t worry, the orphanage will have someone to take care of it."
Shen Shiqi nodded, "In that case, I can be at ease."
He suddenly went limp and fell backward, caught by Chen Yan, who held the child in his arms.
Shen Shiqi, born small and thin, was held by Chen Yan as if holding a bundle of firewood, so light and frail.
Shen Shiqi suddenly chuckled softly, "Fellow Daoist, since you’re helping me with these two things, I’ll give you a gift."
Chen Yan gently said, "Little one, for doing these last two things for you, I ask for no reward."
"No, when granted a favor, one must repay it, it’s the cycle of the Heavenly Principle, it cannot be wrong!" Shen Shiqi shook his head, but coughed twice, only to barely catch his breath for a moment, and quickly said, "You received the old Daoist’s remaining soul, his final move to slay the Li Family’s old ghost... it’s actually a Divine Technique. I’ll say a word, you relay it to the old Daoist, and he’ll pass that move on to you."
"..." Chen Yan looked at Shen Shiqi with a complicated expression.
"You only need to tell the old Daoist these eight words: ’Relish in revenge, indulge in passion.’
Relish in revenge, indulge in passion?
Hearing these incomprehensible eight words, Chen Yan was momentarily baffled, yet felt a faint sense of familiarity in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist, our fate ends today. You’re actually a decent person, but you’re just too cold-hearted. You should know that if in life one can ’relieve in revenge, indulge in passion,’ then..."
Shen Shiqi suddenly became anxious, his breath weakening: "Then... then... it wouldn’t be a wasted life!
You... sooner or later, need to understand these things for it to... work."
At this point, Shen Shiqi’s arms suddenly went limp, dropping down, making no further sound.
Chen Yan looked at the child’s face in his arms, as if he were merely asleep, and sighed softly before gently laying him on the ground.
Standing quietly beside Shen Shiqi’s body for a moment, Chen Yan then took out a yellow paper and placed it over Shen Shiqi’s face.
Turning around, Chen Yan looked at the dilapidated old house and let out a sneer.
He walked to the spot where the Li Family’s old ghost had fallen last, picked up an object from the ground, which was precisely that scroll.
The scroll felt heavy in hand, with yellowing paper and blurred words, though it faintly emitted a soft glow. As Chen Yan emitted a slight stream of Primordial Qi, he could feel this glow subtly repelling him!
It was indeed a Magical Treasure, but it must have been restricted by its owner.
If he wanted to control this Magical Treasure, he would need to erase the original owner’s restriction and refine it anew.
Chen Yan stored the scroll inside the Storage Jade Pendant.
As the scroll entered the pendant, suddenly, the sky and earth changed colors, and the surrounding ruins of the old house vanished like a shattered painting, turning into a wisp of smoke!
In an instant, mist spread out. When Chen Yan steadied his gaze, he saw he was standing in the previously familiar valley!
Surrounded by wild overgrowth, and not far away lay a vast field of waist-high grass.
At this moment the wind rustled the grass, creating a sibilant sound in the otherwise quiet and secluded valley. Where was the Li Family’s old house?
On the ground in front of Chen Yan, only Shen Shiqi’s small body remained.
Chen Yan’s heart stirred, then he suddenly realized.
Turns out the Li Mansion, the foggy environment, it was all just a Secret Realm created by the scroll Magical Treasure.
This wasn’t entirely unheard of—some high-level Magical Treasures can create an independent Secret Realm out of nowhere.
