1629 A Special Affection (1/2)
At noon of January 27, when Pandora and Demons-killing Valley arrived above Yinhai, an airboat was also slowly declining in the airport outside Datang City in the heavy wind and snow.
It was hot over the Gobi Desert; by contrast, Datang City was snowing heavily.
Climates varied in different regions. Therefore, people also had different feelings, one like fire, the other like ice.
Standing by the window of her cabin room, Lan Yunxi watched the increasingly clearer city in a slight, vacant pattern. This city was more prosperous than any city in Youzhou Province and was larger than the size of all the cities under the affiliation of Huaiyuan Palace. Additionally, the owner of this city was a young, able prince. At this moment, the magnificent buildings and the crowd which were waiting to greet her on the ground in the heavy wind and snow became meaningless in Lan Yunxi's eyes. Even though she became the female owner of this city, Lan Yunxi still felt irrelevant with this city.
The wedding engagement between Xuanyuan Wuji and Lan Yunxi was a pure trade. The agent for this trade was Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
Not everyone would speak highly of this trade; even her master privately persuaded her to consider it prudently. All the elders of Huaiyuan Palace opposed it firmly. However, Lan Yunxi still stuck to it or follow the arrangement of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. In this trade, she treated herself as a commodity. In exchange, Huaiyuan Palace would become an imperial relative of Taixia Country.
Xuanyuan Changying didn't lack women. As for him, beautiful and able women became as meaningless as gold coins in the pockets of rich businessmen; they couldn't even match his tools or decorations. However, besides her look and ability, Lan Yunxi carried a great bloodline.
Besides the bloodline in cultivation base of Zhang Clan, Lan Yunxi also awakened a heavenly bloodline, which was very rare and could only be awakened by women. After awakening it, she could enable her babies to carry forward the powerful genes of their father and even break through the levels of original ancestral bloodlines to a certain degree.
This ancestral bloodline was called Gold and Jade Good Fortune. Among all the heavenly bloodlines, this one was the strangest and rarest one. As this bloodline didn't work on herself but on her babies, the number of women who awakened this bloodline was even fewer than that of sage-level knights in Taixia Country.
Lan Yunxi was found to have awakened this bloodline when she had menses at the age of 14. Because her menses was golden for the first time and carried a special fragrance, from then on, it became the top secret of Huaiyuan Palace.
Across Huaiyuan Palace, besides Zhang Taixuan the father of Lan Yunxi, nobody knew this secret, including clan elders.
After Lan Yunxi joined Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had known her secret.
Lan Yunxin only thought about exchanging her felicity for the future of Huaiyuan Palace; instead of considering that Xuanyuan Wuji would like to gain something else through this marriage.
As for Lan Yunxi, she had experienced the cruelest thing in the world. Therefore, nothing else could bring her greater pain or harm.
It was sacrifice and self-torture to a certain degree. However, in pursuing it, Lan Yunxi felt abnormal pleasure through revenge.
She wanted to see the furious, sad and tearful look of the man. If possible, she even wanted to see him kneeling down and begging for her forgiveness...
However, she couldn't see none of them now...
When she agreed with this marriage, the black invitation card of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had not been sent to Iron-Dragon Sect. When Iron-Dragon Sect received the black invitation card from Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the marriage between Xuanyuan Wuji and Lan Yunxi had already been fixed. It was also Taiyi Fantasy Sect which declared the date of this marriage officially.
She knew that man was in secluded cultivation in Iron-Dragon Sect these days. She also knew that the man would face a life-or-death duel above Yinhai two days later. As a result, Lan Yunxi became helpless and frustrated. She couldn't even figure out how the relationship between this man and her sect deteriorated so fast.
That man killed her father!
That man split up the clan that she wanted to safeguard!
Now, that man was going to have a duel with the sage-level knight of the sect which helped her a lot!
It seemed that her vengeance would be realized by her sect soon. Lan Yunxi felt that she should be happy; however, she felt vacant facing this strange city. The cold air even made her suffocate and breathless.
'Am I wrong? Am I sorry to anyone?'
