The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO
Chapter 1249 - 1229: I Don’t Like Owing Favors!
This question made the woman's gaze become incredibly bewildered: "Who am I... I don't know either..."
"You are Lingshuang."
Outside the suite door, a deep male voice rang out.
Xiao Zhan walked into the suite with his hands behind his back, first bowing respectfully to Ye Huan as a greeting, and then continued, "According to the ancient texts of the Xiao Family, thousands of years ago, a supreme expert from the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm brought his doorman to the Xiao Family, requesting them to seal the doorman in a coffin to enter a state of slumber rather than death. At that time, the doorman was eight years old."
"Miss, observing your appearance, I can tell your current physical age is around twenty-five."
"The Xiao Family's slumber technique doesn't freeze people but reduces the body's metabolism and the functioning of the organs to the lowest speed. Generally, three hundred years outside the coffin are roughly equivalent to one year inside."
"From this, it can be deduced that you have been in slumber for over five thousand years, equating to about seventeen years of growth, which is why you have transformed from an eight-year-old girl to the now youthful maiden!"
"The supreme expert who brought you to the Xiao Family said you bear a special mission and need to sleep until a special era when a destined person will awaken you."
"Unexpectedly, his words came true."
At the end, Xiao Zhan deeply looked at Ye Huan, still disbelief in his eyes.
Lingshuang?
Doorman?
The woman raised her brows: "I say, you've got it wrong, right? I am the Extreme Divine King, how could I be anyone's doorman? Besides, entering the coffin at eight, could I have possessed Extreme Divine King strength at eight?!"
"Uh... I'm not sure about that. Anyway, that's how the Xiao Family's ancient texts recorded it."
Xiao Zhan felt embarrassed, the woman's words pushed him to doubt the authenticity of the Xiao Family's ancient texts.
Could there really be a mistake?
In the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, the Divine King is a supreme expert!
Among the Divine Kings, the Extreme Divine King reigns supreme!
Currently, there are only two Extreme Divine Kings in Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm: Di Lin the Elder — Di Shitian! The Dragon Gate Sect Leader — Di Lunhui!
The woman resurrected from the coffin is the third Extreme Divine King!
How could such a powerful person be anyone's doorman?
How could she possess Extreme Divine King strength at eight?
"However, Lingshuang should be my name, I feel very familiar with these two characters, and besides that, another two characters subconsciously emerge in my mind." The woman rubbed her forehead twice, slightly furrowed her brow and said, "Ao Xue."
"Ao Xue and Lingshuang are sisters, both are doormen of the supreme expert." Xiao Zhan stated, "According to the Xiao Family's ancient texts, the supreme expert brought you two sisters over at that time, wanting you both to fall into slumber together, but the Xiao family's strength was limited, and the slumber technique required lots of high-grade herbs. After using all their efforts to collect, they only managed to gather enough herbs for one person's slumber, and eventually, you and your sister tearfully parted, with you entering the coffin and the supreme expert taking the little girl called 'Ao Xue' away from the Xiao Family."
Upon hearing these words, Lingshuang's face instantly changed, feeling intense pain hitting her brain, she supported her forehead, showing an extremely pained expression, fiercely gasping for breath!
Along with the pain came a sense of imagery!
She does not remember the supreme expert claimed but she really vaguely recalls the scene of tearfully parting ways with her sister!
Sister...
Sister...
Lingshuang crazily inhaled, trying to recall, the headache intensifying, but unable to remember anything else, including the sister's appearance!
"Don't force yourself to think, calm down!" Ye Huan snapped, flipping his right hand, taking out the Soul-Suppressing Jade!
The calming fragrance emitted from the Soul-Suppressing Jade instantly made Lingshuang regain clarity, and the pain in her head quickly diminished!
Lingshuang took a deep breath, stopped trying to recall, and said, "Thank you."
Ye Huan retrieved the Soul-Suppressing Jade and said, "If you really can't remember, there's no need to force it, you've been asleep for over five thousand years, not recalling past events is normal, as time passes, your memory will likely slowly recover."
"Hmm... I understand." Lingshuang nodded.
"Miss Lingshuang, Ye Shao is right, you just slept for too long and forgot that memory, you'll definitely recall it in the future. Oh right." Xiao Zhan added beside, "The destined person who awakened you from thousands of years of slumber is Ye Shao."
Upon hearing this, Lingshuang looked at Ye Huan again to thank him, "Little Ye, rest assured, I will remember this kindness."
"Can't we use a different term?" Ye Huan was quite speechless but didn't dwell on this matter for long, instead asking, "What are your plans next?"
Lingshuang immediately replied without any hesitation, "I'll go with you, I need you to help me regain my strength. By staying by your side, I can repay my debt, I do not like owing others, especially personal favors."
After speaking, she looked up at Xiao Zhan and said, "Although I don't know why I lay in the coffin, the Xiao Family has protected me for thousands of years, if the Xiao Family faces distress in the future, I will definitely help."
Xiao Zhan was instantly overjoyed, knowing that Lingshuang's peak strength is at Extreme Divine King level!
This promise is beyond value, essentially providing the Xiao Family with a life-saving charm!
Initially, upon hearing Lingshuang was leaving with Ye Huan, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat uncomfortable, given she is the "divine artifact" the Xiao Family protected for thousands of years, departing just like that is indeed a loss!
But after receiving Lingshuang's promise, all discomfort in Xiao Zhan's heart instantly disappeared, and he felt relieved.
After the "divine artifact" leaves the Xiao Family, the family will no longer be the thorn in the side, the annoyance in the flesh of the Ancient Martial Realm, and will no longer be a juicy target for those wolf-like families, making the situation extremely safe!
With Lingshuang's promise and Ye Huan's friendship, the Xiao Family's future development prospects are limitless!
Xiao Zhan was extremely excited.
"By the way, when do we leave here?" Lingshuang asked Ye Huan.
"Now,"
As Ye Huan was speaking, Xiao Zhan interrupted, his eyes flashing a meaningful look, suggesting, "Ye Shao, it's getting late, if there isn't anything particularly urgent, why not stay overnight in this small town? By the way, I've already had someone deliver the three extreme cold herbs the Xiao Family promised you, they should arrive around midnight."
Ye Huan pondered for a moment, considering, and agreed, "Hmm, that's good, then we'll leave tomorrow morning."
...
"Whew—"
Ye Huan booked a room in this hotel, walked into the bathroom, and began soaking in a hot bath. Just entering the steaming water, he let out a satisfying breath.
The extreme cold herbs were finally in hand, after returning, he could start preparing a three-thousand-year human ginseng herbal soup for Jiang Shishuang to ensure a smooth pregnancy.
This troublesome issue was finally successfully resolved.
Next, he must begin investigating potential traitors among the Twelve Celestial Gods and research Su Zhiqiang and the six-headed monster in Capital City's Celestial Prison.
Thinking of this, Ye Huan's expression became hesitant.
Actually, to acquire intelligence on the sequence and what research the sequence is conducting, the quickest method is to ask Jiang Shishuang, as a top-tier member of the sequence — Seventh Red Tier Sequence, she surely knows many secrets.
But asking her directly, she might not respond and may even cause her mood to turn melancholic again.
It seems he must find an appropriate opportunity to tactfully inquire about her.
Thinking this way, Ye Huan let out a long breath, then tightly closed his eyes, freeing his thoughts, and enjoyed the pleasure of bathing.
In this enjoyment, he fell asleep.
After several hours of sleep, he was awakened by a knocking sound.
"Knock. Knock. Knock."
The glass door of the bathroom was suddenly knocked.
From outside, a shy and embarrassed voice sounded: "Ye... Ye Shao, are you there, I have something to discuss with you."
Immediately recognizing this as Xiao Qingming's voice.
So late, can it possibly be urgent?
"Wait a moment." Ye Huan ended his bath, wrapped himself in a robe, and climbed out of the bathtub.
Upon opening the glass door and walking out of the bathroom to see Xiao Qingming dressed up, his face instantly turned red!
