Chapter 298 Normal Life?
Inside the Ye family ancestral hall, a spirit looked at the person standing in the center with a puzzled expression. "Ancestor, why didn't you bring her back when she was being controlled? Why go through all this trouble?"
His question echoed the sentiments of the other souls present.
"Heh...you wouldn't understand!" The ancestor chuckled lightly, keeping everyone in suspense.
Under the watchful eyes of the other spirits, he spoke again, "I'm doing this to help them get along better, so they should be able to live peacefully together when they're sent back."
"Moreover, by letting her soul merge and extinguish that wisp of origin, the demon was injured, which gave our successor time to merge with the golden core he brought back and his body."
"Ancestor, that's what they say, but I think..."
"Hmm...wouldn't it be better if we moved the spirit tablet to a different position..." one of the spirits said, forcing himself to speak. Based on his intuition, he knew that the successor would definitely come back to settle scores and destroy this place.
"What are you panicking about? Besides, we're all dead. What's the point of protecting a memorial tablet? I don't believe she would vent her anger on the spirit tablet." The ancestor said disdainfully as he took away his spirit tablet and the 'Asura Token' and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the other souls looking at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, the spot in the middle of the ancient ancestral hall where the memorial tablets were placed became empty.
With the matter settled, the entire ninja world, including Kaguya Otsutsuki, reached a consensus and began to coexist peacefully because they shared a common enemy.
"Orochimaru-sensei, is there any progress?" Itachi Uchiha asked with hope in his eyes.
Orochimaru glanced at the disciple in front of him, then scanned the other six people around him. "If his quirky disciple really comes back, who will he be with?"
Orochimaru, unusually interested in gossiping for a moment, then spoke up, "I have indeed made some progress, but I need to borrow Itachi's Rinnegan and the power within you all to perhaps glimpse a bit of that world."
The seven of them didn't find it difficult at all, and quite consciously chose a bed to lie down on, which made Orochimaru marvel once again at the charm of his disciple.
Despite his thoughts, Orochimaru began his operation, gathering the power of the seven individuals and injecting it into Itachi's Rinnegan. "I hope this time it will succeed!"
After some time, Itachi Uchiha saw some scenes through his Rinnegan, and he could see all seven of them when their powers were connected.
On a rainy night, a loud baby's cry rang out in an old house.
"Bring the baby here quickly so I can see him," Lin Xi said weakly. The doctor next to her immediately brought the baby to her.
Lin Xi reached out and carefully touched it, a smile appearing on her face. "This is her and Wentian's child."
Thinking of Wentian, she asked, "Has Wentian returned?"
"Madam, the head of the family hasn't returned yet." Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xi had a bad feeling.
She struggled to get out of bed when Ye Wentian walked in and came to the bedside. "Xi'er, I'm back."
"I'm so glad you're alright." Lin Xi hugged Ye Wentian, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly began to relax.
She let go and noticed the blood on her hand. "Wentian, are you injured?"
"Dr. Zhou, please come quickly!" Lin Xi called out anxiously.
Ye Wentian grabbed Lin Xi's hand and shook his head. "Xi'er, it's no use. Let me take a good look at you... okay?"
His eyes were filled with reluctance. "Xi'er, I'm sorry... I can no longer walk with you and take care of our child."
Ye Wentian looked at the child beside him and smiled. This child looked like Xi'er, but it was a pity that he couldn't watch her grow up.
"Wentian, don't scare me... Didn't we have an agreement? How could you break your promise and leave before me? I won't accept it." Lin Xi looked like she didn't want to accept the reality before her.
With longing in his eyes, Ye Wentian spoke, "Xi'er, listen to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xi interrupted him, saying, "Wentian, I knew this day would come when I first met you. Even if you die, I won't live on alone."
Let's name the child!
"You said... how about calling her An'an? I want her to live a peaceful and safe life," Lin Xi said to Ye Wentian, picking up the child beside her.
Ye Wentian forced himself to speak, “Xi’er, our daughter is the next head of the Ye family. Her life is destined to be extraordinary. Let’s call her ‘Heartless.’ I hope she will be a heartless person and not be soft-hearted.”
"Okay... I'll do as you say."
"Wentian, would you like to hold our daughter?" Lin Xi asked as she handed her daughter over.
Ye Wentian reached out to hug her, but found his hands were covered in blood. Just as he was about to pull back, Lin Xi placed her daughter in his arms.
He felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he held on, and the last breath he had been holding onto finally dissipated.
“Wentian, look, our daughter is smiling. She must really like it when you hold her.” Before Lin Xi finished speaking, Ye Wentian leaned on her shoulder and hugged the child tightly.
Lin Xi gently hugged Ye Wentian, "Wentian... wait for me." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and stopped breathing a moment later.
Ye Wuxin, who was in their arms, was unaware of what was happening. She thought her parents were playing with her and giggled.
When Butler Xie came in and saw this scene, although he was somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but shed tears.
It took him a long time to suppress his emotions and pick up Ye Wuxin from their arms. "Patriarch, Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely nurture Miss Ye well and make her a qualified head of the Ye family."
When she was around two years old, Butler Xie discovered that the young lady was exceptionally intelligent, so he began to arrange various learning plans for her.
How could Ye Wuxin, who was only two years old, be obedient? Butler Xie quickly came up with an idea: to replace the nanny robot with a living person to take care of her daily life.
This method is quite effective; Ye Wuxin has become much more obedient.
A year passed like this, and Ye Wuxin had come to regard this person as her mother.
As for Butler Xie, she treated him like her father.
It was his third birthday, and he was able to take a rare day off.
"But why did Butler Xie kill this woman when she was happiest?"
Ye Wuxin, holding a small panda doll, stared blankly at the woman lying in a pool of blood.
"Young Miss, this teddy bear is a birthday present for you. Do you like it?" Just a moment ago, Ye Wuxin was full of life, but now her head was starting to ache.
Butler Xie looked at Ye Wuxin and said, "Miss, I hope you won't develop feelings that you shouldn't." After saying that, he turned and left.
These words snapped the string that had been taut in her mind. Ye Wuxin suddenly clutched her head in pain, looking weak and helpless as she squatted in the corner, silently shedding tears.
"Butler Xie, why don't you tell her the truth?" Dr. Zhou asked, his eyes filled with confusion.
Butler Xie sighed, "What good is knowing? She'll have to face it eventually. It'll just help her grow up quickly."
Inside the ancestral hall, Ye Wuxin knelt as Steward Xie struck her repeatedly with a rattan cane.
"Young Miss, do you still remember the first rule of the Ye family?" Ye Wuxin asked with tears in her eyes. "I know. The first rule of the Ye family is that no matter what time or situation, even if you bleed to death, you must never shed a single tear."
"Very well, for the first offense, only ten lashes will be given as punishment." Steward Xie said coldly and left the ancestral hall.
After one night, a robot indistinguishable from a real person came and took Ye Wuxin away, leaving her to lie in a nutrient tank to recover from her injuries. She also had a book in her arms called "Soul Splitting Technique".
Although the Ye family is a long-established family that rarely appears in public, it does not mean that they do not accept new-era products. Moreover, the Ye family also has the Dingsheng Group outside, whose companies control 30% of the world's economic lifeline.
This nutrient capsule is a product of a company under the Dingsheng Group, and it is very popular among many families. After all, ordinary people cannot afford it, and it seems that even the lowest configuration costs 1 billion yuan.
Ordinary people can buy nutrient solutions, although they are not as effective as nutrient capsules. They are popular because they can help wounds heal without leaving scars.
Long-term consumption of nutritional fluids will not only prevent illness but also provide satiety, serving as a substitute for three meals a day, though it will be utterly tasteless.
After a night, Ye Wuxin's injuries had completely healed. Lying in the nutrient pod, she appeared to be sleeping, but in fact, her consciousness had entered the Star Network to learn various kinds of knowledge. Waking up the next day in the Star Network did not make her feel tired; on the contrary, it relieved the fatigue from practicing martial arts during the day.
The nutrient capsule she was lying in was one of a kind in the world; after all, it was made by their own company, so how could they allow others to own it?
Ye Wuxin has been living this kind of life ever since she was two years old.
After all, as the next head of the Ye family, there are many things he may not be an expert in, but he must understand them.
Ye Wuxin possesses the ability to remember everything he sees and absorbs knowledge extremely quickly.
For the next period of time, Butler Xu arranged for her to learn about knowledge in the wild.
She also increased her martial arts practice time during the day, as if she was preparing for something.
Sure enough, three months later, Ye Wuxin, who was not even four years old, was thrown into a primeval forest.
“Young Miss, as long as you can get out of this primeval forest, you can live a normal life.”
Ye Wuxin watched Butler Xie's departing figure, then turned and stepped into the forest. The only thing she carried was a sword that was almost as tall as herself.
She chose this sword when she was two years old, after receiving the Ye family's inheritance, from the weapon tomb.
However, it wasn't that she chose the sword, but rather that the sword chose her—this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
At this moment, Ye Wuxin was thinking to himself, "What is the life of a normal person like?"
