Chapter 512: The Curse of Not Living Past 20

roke!"Damn it! Look what you've done!" Xiao Yuge rubbed her bruised waist, frowning: "Ouch, my waist!""Little song, are you hurt" Qian Tingxuan reacted, lifting her up and looking at the collapsed bed...Xiao Yu Ge subconsciously glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned! He couldn't help but secretly marvel: What a beautiful woman! Wait, the jade pendant worn by the woman in the painting is..."Oh, dear me, it's all my fault. I was clumsy and got it dirty!" Feng Xuan Shuang was so nervous that she immediately picked it up and wiped it with her sleeve again and again. 。"Wind Old Man, who is she" Xiao Yuge leaned closer, now she could see her clearly. 。

“Calling me ‘godfather’ or ‘master’, you little girl, no respect at all! I could be your grandfather. Is it a loss for you to call me godfather or master” Busy wiping the wind-painted frost on the painting, Feng Xuan didn't notice the strange expression on Xiao Yu Ge's face>>> 。"I already have a master." 。Besides, this godfather of yours is someone you tricked me into recognizing. You even forced me to change my name! Now, whether I call you or not is entirely my freedom. 。Although she had already acknowledged what Feng Xuan Shuang had said just now, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. She wanted him to give her a good face, no way! That time, if he hadn't said that he was poisoned by the Seven Steps Sea棠 and was about to die, and didn't want to die without an heir, she wouldn't have recognized him as her adoptive father, and even given him a different name. Now that she thought about it, everything was his carefully planned scheme. It was really despicable! “Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say. Anyway, the old man is just an heirless person. The old man's life is hard. I admit…” 。"Feng Xuan's eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy, yet she still tirelessly wiped the painting in her hands as if she couldn't bear for even a speck of dirt to mar its surface." 。Hearing his words, Xiao Yuge felt a twinge of sympathy in her heart. She was like that, she yielded to soft words but not to harsh ones. She resignedly sighed: "Whether I change or not, it doesn't matter now. The whole martial world knows that the master of Frost and Snow Pavilion is Feng Yinxue, not me, Xiao Yuge." 。At first, she also thought to herself that since she didn't know where she came from or even her own surname, what name she took or what surname she had really didn't matter. 。Feng Xuanshuang quickly glanced at her, her mouth twitched, and she still drooped her eyes dejectedly: "It's all that old man who coaxed you back then. If you still blame me, the old man, and don't recognize me, I won't blame you either..."Xiao Yuge scratched her head in a daze: "Stinky old man, almost done with this! In this world, only I, such a fool, would be sold and help count the money. Of course I recognize you! It's really annoying, I don't even know what you saw in me back then. If I had known better, I would have changed..." 。Technically, he's old enough to be her grandfather. Now that he's her godfather, it doesn't seem out of place. 。Feng Xuanshuang, upon hearing this, burst into a grin. "This little girl is intelligent and perceptive, not only skilled in medicine but also martial arts, and she has a kind heart...""Enough with the flattery, you all have eight hundred eyes, I can't outsmart you, I concede defeat, alright" 。"Xiao Yu Ge wore a look of helplessness on her face. This old man had eyes like a sieve, compared to Qian Ting Xuan's cunning, it was truly... she wondered what she had done in her past life to attract such people. She thought she held the upper hand with her knowledge from her previous life, but it seemed every person she met was even more shrewd than the last." 。"Little girl, don't be angry. You'll understand everything in time. Fate has its way. Of course, I also guarantee you won't regret your decision now." 。Feng Xuan smiled and gently patted her head. 。"I can calm down, but you have to tell me, who is this painted" Xiao Yu Ge finally came up with an idea. 。"She is..." Feng Xuan Shang was about to answer, but then he thought about it and retorted, "Little girl, why do you ask her" "Of course I'm curious, she's so beautiful, and you're so nervous about her. Could it be that she's the one you have a crush on" She knew Feng Xuan Shang had never married. Since the woman in the painting wasn't his wife, she must be the one he had a crush on. 。Feng Xuan Shuang gently caressed the portrait of a woman with bright eyes and white teeth. A faint smile appeared on his weathered face: "She was a good friend of mine, named Shui Linglong. She used to be the holy maiden of Tianzhu Kingdom. If she were still alive, she would probably be in her fifties now." 。"Water Linglong" Xiao Yuge was slightly startled, indeed..."Have you heard of her" Feng Xuan霜 saw the change in her expression and couldn't help but have a hint of doubt between her brows. 。“Oh, I’ve heard about it...” 。"By the way, how did she..." Seeing Feng Xuan霜 staring at him, Xiao Yuge quickly straightened his face and said. 。She had once investigated, that the Holy Maiden of Tianzhu country would give birth to the next Holy Maiden before the age of 20, and Shui Binglan was born when Shui Linglong was 19 years old. 。It turned out that Xiao Yuge didn't understand either, why those saintesses had to give birth to the next saintess before they turned 20. Later, after checking, it turned out that every saintess in Tianzhu country had a hereditary curse and could not live past 20 years old. 。According to the people of Tianzhu, she was cursed to death, but I know, she wasn't 。“Feng Xuan’s eyes were a little moist, and her hands trembled slightly as she unconsciously touched the painting: "She had a pair of very understanding big eyes. When she smiled, they curved like crescent moons, so beautiful. The first time I met her, she ran away. She told me that she loved freedom and longed for the outside world, but in the end, she had to go back to fulfill her duty as a saint… She wasn't cursed to death, she was killed by those suffocating ideas…" Xiao Yuge frowned, seeming to not quite understand what he meant. 。

Feng Xuan Shuang sighed deeply, a touch of helplessness added to his face, etched with the marks of time: "Every Tianzhu Kingdom saint after coming of age would marry someone, striving to give birth to the next saint as soon as possible. In order to perpetuate the wisdom of the saints, they usually marry members of the royal family or the pride of Tianzhu Kingdom. The children born can only take their mother's surname. If it's a boy, he will be killed. If it's a girl, she will be personally raised by the national teacher to adulthood, bearing the responsibilities of a saint from childhood..."

Xiao Yu Ge felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this. What kind of saint seemed glorious on the surface and second only to the emperor in status But from birth to adulthood, everything was arranged by others, even until death they were not free. How suffocating such a life must be...

Feng Xuan霜 lowered her head and smiled, tidying up her broken heart and looking at Xiao Yuge: "When I first met her, she seemed to be about your size, innocent and naive, like a snow lotus that had never been tainted by the world." 。"Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuge a few more times: "To tell the truth, there are six or seven points similarity between your eyebrows and hers..." Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he chose her at the market that day." 。"The world is so vast, there are many similar people." 。Xiao Yu sang subconsciously touched the jade pendant on her body, wasn't the one worn by the woman in the painting exactly this jade pendant The answer seemed obvious. Once, she desperately wanted an answer, but now, she didn't seem to care so much anymore. 。"That's right, most people who resemble her are beauties as well." 。Feng Xuanshuang didn't investigate further. He wouldn't have dreamed that Xiao Yuge in front of him would be related to Shui Linglong. 。 Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!ctually a martial artist, quite interesting."Hey! Are you Xiao Yuge The one who lives in Ruyi Courtyard" Seeing that Xiao Yuge was about to leave, the girl called out to her loudly.Xiao Yu Ge slightly...
