Chapter 17: The Mystery of My Father
I didn’t know a person could smile like that
The expression on his face was obviously a ss to a point where my heart ached The more beautifully he smiled, the more intensely I felt that pain
“You guessed right This is Fang Hua Wood, but not just any variety Ordinary people know that Fang Hua Wood can nullify tens of thousands of poisons in the world, but they don’t know that there are two types One type co Hua Beast, and it can expel 100 poisons The other type co Hua Beast is born and takes on human form That one can only keep away pests and snakes, but it’s even harder to find”
I knitted my eyebrows and asked him, “How come?”
He gave aborn Preserving the placenta is like burying the wood in the soil”
“So then…”
“This really is soood care of it”
I was speechless In other words, this thing couldn’t dispel any poisons at all
“You don’t like it?” he looked at ive it to you” He s I felt a bit unclear
“Yifu, don’t change the topic”
He was briefly alar outside theI sprawled by his legs, nestling up as I looked up with the hairpin clutched in my hands “Tell me about my father”
His hands slowly stroked entle and soft as a woman’s But the sound left me cold “Don’t you already know…?”
Shocked, a sense of unease rose in my heart, and I made a ain and pulled me lower and closer
“You went to the grave at the yellow earth mound, didn’t you…the corpse nestled by its side was your father Good Shao’er, you’ve forgotten this despite having such a good memory Do you remember ritten on the sheepskin cloth in his robes? You’ve read it yourself” His hands unhurriedly strokedit word by word
“When those days ended, I felt disconsolate and empty over the fact that we couldn’t meet The happy times of then are now as distant as the divide between Heaven and Man Early on, a thousand li already existed to keep us separate I was the one who didn’t treat you well enough back then Now I’ll use my own life to make it up to you I just hope that after you return frorave, you can look after that child This way, even if I die…I will be content”
His eyelids drooped, and with every sentence he spoke, the cinnabar mark at the corner of his eye trembled
I didn’t knohat kind of tone he was using toHua speaking now rabbed his hand “Yifu…”
He greare of my presence, and turned his head to sood But I’ve reet theain”
A truth like this was crueler than any lie
It made my head spin…
My father acted wrongly towards Fang Hua out of personal feelings…what kind of entangleet into in his past life?
“Shao’er, I’ve already been through a cycle of rebirth I’ve forgotten a lot of things from my past life I can only dirave before he died I went to take care of you, his child and only son”
Son…
Wait a minute, I’m female
Are you sure your memories didn’t make a mistake somewhere?
Looking at the pleasant s up, I buried id, but he rant scent enteredme reluctant to part…
Yet led thoughts
There had to be so in thefrom the start, I had no desire to pursue the matter any further
Whatever happened between the to do with me I just wanted to stay with yifu for the rest of ht this way, my heart was even more uneasy, and I buried myself deeper into his chest
