Chapter 297 Black Lotus
Looking at his elder brother's haggard appearance, Duan Tingshu said earnestly, "Brother, you must be exhausted from your journey back so urgently. Brother, please wash up and rest first. Don't worry, I will personally deliver this ancient book to Her Highness the Princess."

Duan Tingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, let's pack up in the next few days, we should head to the southwestern border."

The snow has stopped, the roads have been cleared, and the Duan family should head to the southwest.

I may never have the chance to come back again.

Perhaps I will never have the chance to see her again.

As soon as Duan Tingxuan thought of this, a sense of desolation and emptiness spread from the depths of his heart. When the wind blew, his chest rang with an empty sound, accompanied by a dull pain that he only realized after a while.

His eyes held an endless emptiness.

Duan Tingshu looked at his elder brother and was very worried about him, but he also knew that some things he had to get through on his own, and that other people's advice was useless.

"Brother, I heard that the young master of the Moon Clan cured Young Master Jiang's illness. Why don't we ask the young master of the Moon Clan to come and take a look at you?"

Duan Tingxuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, and I'm not possessed by any evil spirits, so there's no need to look at me anymore."

This is a psychological problem for him.

"And this ancient book, don't open it and read its contents."

……

Su Fu
Su Muyao paused for a moment when she held the ancient leather book with its long history in her hand.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw a black lotus flower painted on the leather cover of the homepage.

She looked at Duan Tingshu and asked, "Did your older brother ask you to deliver this?"

"Yes, my elder brother personally went to my Duan family ancestral home for this ancient book. He sent me here as soon as he returned."

"I'd like to say that this ancient book might be of use to Your Highness."

Su Muyao quickly flipped through the pages, and when she saw the words "possession," it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her ears, and she even held her breath for a moment.

Her fingers, gripping the ancient book, tightened.

She composed herself and asked, "Did your older brother say anything else?"

Duan Tingshu shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything else, just that he'd pack up in the next few days and head to the southwestern border."

"They also told me not to look at the contents of ancient books."

Standing in front of Su Muyao, Duan Tingshu felt a powerful pressure.

He dared not look at Su Muyao's expression, nor dared to speculate on her thoughts.

Just as he lowered his head and awaited instructions, four talismans appeared in front of him.

Duan Tingshu paused for a moment, looked up at Su Muyao, and stared at her with wide eyes in confusion, seemingly not understanding what this was.

Su Muyao explained, "These are four life-saving talismans. One for each of your parents, you, and your brother. Although you are going to the southwestern border to protect your country, you must also protect your own safety."

"Please thank your brother for me with this ancient book; it really came in handy."

Although it's unknown how Duan Tingxuan discovered she had been possessed, this ancient book is of great use to her.

She accepted the favor.

Duan Tingshu then took the talisman in a daze and carefully put it away, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

When Duan Tingshu returned and told his parents and brothers about the life-saving talisman, they were all stunned.

"Is this the legendary life-saving charm?"

"They even gave you four more. Is Your Highness perhaps a talisman master?"

Realizing this, they became even more frustrated.

Duan Tingshu said to Duan Tingxuan, "Brother, the princess said thank you, saying that the ancient book you gave me was indeed useful."

Duan Tingxuan's eyes instantly reddened.

Su Muyao sat at the table, flipping through the ancient book.

Upon seeing this, the system exclaimed in surprise, "Host, this is actually a record about the Black Lotus of Annihilation!"

"My God, there's even a Black Lotus of Annihilation here?"

The system spoke in an extremely incredulous tone.

Su Muyao said, "This ancient book doesn't mention the World-Destroying Black Lotus. It only records that the Black Lotus can absorb the surrounding violent, destructive, and resentful auras and transform them into its own dark power..."

"This is written here that it is related to the Black Lotus in the ancient great war. Later, the Black Lotus was destroyed, the war stopped, and many orcs were wiped out. However, the residual aura of the Black Lotus has been breeding dark energy over the ages, which has led to many wild beasts being invaded and turned into mutated beasts."

The system said, "As far as I know, this is the Black Lotus of Annihilation. Once the Black Lotus descends upon the world, the entire world will be destroyed."

Su Muyao continued to flip through the ancient book and said, "This ancient book doesn't have much information about the Black Lotus, but it does record information about possession."

"This world is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. In ancient times, some powerful souls could possess and devour the bodies of others to survive. Later, the Heavenly Dao imposed restrictions, and no beastmen or souls can possess the bodies of others."

"Is there only one exception?"

The system asked, "Which situation?"

Su Muyao carefully looked at the contents of the ancient book and said, "It says that if a female is given a secret medicine made from black lotus petals, after she gives birth, the medicine can be transferred to the child. As long as the power of the black lotus petals is used as a catalyst, the body can be possessed."

The system pondered for a moment and said, "So, the reason your soul left your body was because there were black lotus petals inside you, and these black lotus petals came from your mother. Your mother was unknowingly given the black lotus secret medicine."

"No wonder."

“You are a woman of destiny, protected by the heavens. Ordinary forces cannot harm or do anything to you. Moreover, if they directly administer the secret medicine to you, they will not be able to get it into your body. But if they start with your mother from the beginning, it may be simpler.”

"The Black Lotus is a supreme treasure born from chaos. With the Black Lotus as a catalyst, the petals of the Black Lotus will bloom, and when its power is at its strongest, it can deceive the Heavenly Dao. Your body can indeed be controlled."

"But they only controlled it for three years. Your soul was too powerful, and you eventually came back."

"You also mentioned that Liu Mengyan called you a savior, which is why the forces behind you are trying to target you. But they probably know they can't deal with you, so they planted the Black Lotus power on your mother a long time ago."

Su Muyao said solemnly, "That's why I need to find my mother. Perhaps only by finding my mother can I unlock the secret."

"This ancient book has arrived just in time."

She was indeed grateful to Duan Tingxuan for this.

After reading it, she put the ancient book into her spatial storage.

This kind of thing is safest to keep in a space.

The system, however, expressed some concern: "If there is a world-destroying black lotus in this world, then this beast world will be in danger."

As Su Muyao was analyzing and contemplating this matter with the system, a knock came at the door. "My mistress?"

Hearing the anxious voice outside the door, Su Muyao quickly got up and opened the door. Seeing Mei Qingchen standing there, and noticing his pale face, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"But what happened?"

Mei Qingchen sighed softly and said, "Yun Qinglan has disappeared."

"Disappeared? How could he disappear? Did someone attack him?"

The color drained from Su Muyao's cheeks at a visible speed.

After she confessed her feelings to Yun Qinglan, Yun Qinglan used the mechanical bird from the Mei family to deliver a letter to his grandfather. When the mechanical bird returned, it brought back a letter from Grandpa Yun, in which Grandpa Yun agreed to their marriage.

As for her grandmother, she also agreed to her marriage with Yun Qinglan.

Although she has been busy with some things these days, she has mainly been busy with formal betrothal and betrothal gifts. She even wrote a gift list herself and had it sent to the Yun family in Yunxiao City. Even for the wedding ceremony, Yun Qinglan's relatives and elders will be invited to attend.

Why did Yun Qinglan suddenly disappear?
