499 Family Heritage (1/2)

Purple Eye Realm.

This was the name Fang Yuan had given this realm.

Because he was an infant, no matter how gifted he might be, he had spent the last few months eating and sleeping. No one ever paid too much attention to him, allowing him to secretly gather a lot of information.

This realm was mainly populated by humans and it was rather advanced in technology. Fang Yuan had seen before telephones, newspapers and the like.

However, the Tantai family preferred to live in seclusion and had always been living in an ancient looking mansion in the outskirts of the city.

This family was extremely wealthy and even had servants around. However, all the members of the Tantai Family always seem gloomy and depressed.

Furthermore, something which did not add up was that there were very little elders among the family.

Fang Yuan had only seen one elder, which was Tantai Juexin's father. He was the elder of the entire Tantai Family, Tantai Guijing!

'This family seems to be knowledgeable in certain secret spells! This might be the secret behind how they become so wealthy.'

In Fang Yuan's memories, he could recall being carried to an array for a few times. During these times, he was part of a bloody ritual and was fed much weird stuff.

As an infant, he could not put up any resistance and could only do as he was told.

'Sigh... I am speechless about the predicament I am in right now...'

The small infant sighed softly.

According to Fang Yuan's predictions, the place which he had reincarnated was coincidently the location of the 'ceremony' held by the Tantai Family! Therefore, his True Spirit must have subconsciously chosen the most suitable body which led to him possessing the infant.

'Comparatively, I would rather reincarnate as a normal human! Furthermore... This realm...'

Fang Yuan glanced at his stats with a gloomy look:

”Name: Fang Yuan (Tantai Mieming)

Essence: 0.5 (100)

Spirit: 0.5 (100)

Magic: 2.0 (100)

Profession: ???

Cultivation: ???

Technique: ???

Skill: [Medicine (Sealed)], [Botany (Sealed)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Sealed)]”

”My stats are miserable and even my techniques are completely wiped off? Most importantly...”

Fang Yuan realised that his Medicine and Botany had faded grey, similar to the previous encounter with the Demonic Heart Realm whereby his dream master related stats had faded grey when the dream dao was taken away.

Of course, under Fang Yuan's continuous efforts, the bracket containing the Fiery Golden Eyes started to shimmer and appeared unstable, allowing him to occasionally use it.

”Something is wrong with this mansion! There is too much Yin Energy! Unfortunately... My present form is too weak!”

Even though Fang Yuan's stats in his window were sealed, he was confident that he would be able to restore his cultivation in Da Qian. However, all of these required time!

In this mansion, everything gave him a sense of danger!

This was not an observation through his Fiery Golden Eyes but rather, his detection from being physically in the mansion!

Until now, Fang Yuan could be certain that his physical body was different from others! Notwithstanding his magical energy, how could a newborn have half the stats of a full-grown adult?

Unless...

”Creak!”

The room door was opened. A large-breasted female in her thirties walked in.

Fang Yuan could recognise that this was the female servant taking care of him. She was Xu Ma.

All the servants serving in the mansion appeared pale and depressed too, and it seemed that it was because they had served in the family for a long period of time already. They rarely smiled and most of the time appeared gloomy.

”No! Something's not right!”

Fang Yuan's eyes glistened. ”This lady... she is too emotionless.”

”Bang!”

At this point in time, Xu Ma's eyes turned blank as she fainted.

Behind her, there was another silhouette. A pair of deadly eyes glared at Fang Yuan as the silhouette raised a pair of scissors in its hand.

'This lady... She seems like she is the wife of Tantai Juexin's brother, my aunt. She should be either the Seventh Aunt or Eight Aunt, and her name is Qiu Liang...'

Qiu Liang had a pleasant look. However, now, she was raising a pair of scissors, aiming its tip towards Fang Yuan's heart. She had a ferocious and frenzied look on her face. ”Di... Die! You shouldn't even exist in this world, and it's all because of you! Ashang is dead! You shall die too!”

Fang Yuan laid there helplessly as the pair of scissors was swung downwards.

'This is none of my business... and yet you want to kill me...'

Fang Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated.

”Ah!”

In an instant, there was a shriek, followed by the clanging of a metal pot which fell to the floor, spilling the water in it.

”Help! Lady Qiu Liang is...”

A female servant screamed at the top of her lungs but soon after, she shrieked.

Fang Yuan's ears twitched. He could hear the shuffling of feet. Relaxed, he heaved a sigh.

In this world, he no longer knew if his old techniques would work and he would have a hard time explaining. It was still better to let others save him.

”Qiu Liang, what are you doing?”

Tantai Juexin rushed to the scene and a crisp slap was heard. ”Are you crazy?”

”Haha... I have been crazy all along! If not for him, would Ashang die?”

Qiu Liang's voice was filled with hatred and vengeance. As she tried to retaliate, she was once again hit to the ground.

”Daughter-in-law... what is happening?”
