784 The Truth About the Ghost Clan

Yu Wan woke up with the sound of waves. She was sleeping too deeply and knew nothing about what was going on in the bedchamber. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself wrapped in a thick cloak and sitting in someone’s arms.

The sky was gray, as if a thin black veil was covering the mountains and rivers.

The broken stars fell, and the sky turned bright. The clouds dispersed, and purple clouds came from the east. A red sun broke through the clouds and burned the entire sky red.

“Is it the sunrise?” Yu Wan was stunned by the scene in front of her. She was mostly awake when she realized that she and Yan Jiuchao were sitting on a big rock at the top of the mountain. Clouds surrounded them, making it look like a fairyland.

It was not her first time seeing the sunrise, but she had never known that the sunrise could be so stunning. Perhaps it was because the angle of viewing had changed, or perhaps it was because the person accompanying her was different.

She leaned lazily against his chest and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

She did not ask where this was, nor did she ask him how he brought her here. After his brain was damaged, he always did something that surprised her. It was already a light surprise to see the sunrise. Who knew what he would do next?

Yu Wan quietly watched the sunrise. Yan Jiuchao wrapped his arm around her like a lazy fat cat.

“You’re so stupid. Is there a need to ask?” He said that in disdain, but that was not what he did when he hugged Yu Wan. He gently placed his hand on her chubby stomach and changed the topic. “It’s time for you to get pregnant with my child.”

Huh? How did it become about giving birth? Wasn’t the topic changing too quickly?

Yan Jiuchao added, “You might already be pregnant.”

“No!” Yu Wan turned her face away.

Yan Jiuchao said domineeringly, “If I say you’re pregnant, you’re pregnant!”

Yu Wan : “…”

Forget it, she was already pregnant. She was just worried that he would not remember that it was him, so she did not dare to tell him openly. She would just go with the flow and admit it.

Yan Jiuchao said, “I’ll find a doctor to take your pulse later.”

Yu Wan pretended to place her fingertips on her wrist. “There’s no need. I’m a doctor. I’ve learned a lot of medical skills in the Central Plains all these years. I can figure it out myself. The King is right. I’m indeed pregnant.”

Yan Jiuchao said smugly, “I knew it!”

They “married” yesterday and she was pregnant today. What kind of strange brain could accept such a thing? Yu Wan covered her eyes. She couldn’t continue anymore.

Yan Jiuchao carefully pulled her into his arms. “Since you’re pregnant, don’t work anymore.”

You don’t even let me walk. Work? Aren’t you thinking too much…

“The wind is strong here. We can’t be in the wind since you’re pregnant,” Yan Jiuchao said as he gently picked Yu Wan up. He now had the power of the Ghost King. With a light leap, he returned to the palace.

Yu Wan felt the taste of public display of affection again. After Yan Jiuchao put Yu Wan down, he went to the clan to handle official business. He was a diligent king.

Yu Wan called someone into the room to serve her. For some reason, Yu Wan felt that this group of servants was strange, as if they were very afraid of her. When Fang Fei poured water for her, she trembled so much that she spilled the water.

She didn’t do anything, right? Why were these people so afraid of her?

“Did something happen?” Yu Wan asked.

Fang Fei knelt down with a thud. She was frightened till she knelt. Yu Wan was even more puzzled now. She put down her half-cleaned handkerchief and said seriously, “Tell me, what happened in the palace during the night I wasn’t around?”

Fang Fei said fearfully, “Ma… Madam, nothing happened on the night you weren’t around.”

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows strangely. “Then you…”

“When you were around…” Fang Fei braced herself and confessed everything about Yan Jiuchao dealing with Madam Yu, Madam Li, and the two Guardians.

“Why did the King deal with them?” Yu Wan asked in confusion.

Fang Fei said, “It’s said that the two Madams colluded with the Guardians and knocked out a man. They tried to frame Madam for having an affair with him, but the King saw through them.”

“There’s such a thing?” Yu Wan touched her chin. She had only met the beauties in the palace once. Fang Fei and Fang Rong had even reminded her that Madam Li and Madam Yu were relatives of the King’s maternal family and could not be easily offended. Unexpectedly, they came to look for her instead of her offending them.

This was what it meant to harm oneself.

In order to protect the new Madam, the King even dealt with the relatives of his maternal family. Therefore, everyone in the palace was in danger and did not dare to neglect Yu Wan anymore.

This matter did not cause much of a stir in Yu Wan’s heart. After all, she was not here to be the Queen of the Ghost Clan. However, her status as the Queen could give her the greatest convenience.

She still remembered the goal of this trip. After breakfast, she asked around for information about Grandma and the others. When she found out that they were settled in a side hall in the palace, she left her maidservant behind.

The three little munchkins had gone to the back of the mountain to learn qinggong. The rest of the people were there.

Yu Wan entered Qiu Bing’s room. They heaved a long sigh of relief when they saw the rosy Yu Wan. Although it had mixed up the Ghost King’s memories, Yan Jiuchao treated Yu Wan quite well. Otherwise, this girl wouldn’t have looked like she had gained two to three pounds.

“Have a seat.” Qing Yan gave her a seat.

Yu Wan sat down.

Qing Yan gave Yue Gou a look. Yue Gou understood and walked to the door to guard it.

Yu Wan looked at them. “What’s wrong? Do the walls have ears?”

Qing Yan said disdainfully, “Isn’t it all because of that Qiu Wuya? He’s been secretly watching us, trying to find Jiuchao’s flaws. Heh, even Jiuchao believes it. It’s difficult for us to find any flaws, let alone Qiu Wuya. In your next life!”

“Yes.” Yu Wan nodded. She believed that with the ability of Grandma and the others, it was impossible for them not to be able to guard against Qiu Wuya.

Qing Yan continued, “By the way, why are you here?”

Yu Wan said, “I want to ask if Yan Jiuchao will always be like this in the future. Will his brain still be fine?”

Qing Yan looked at Qiu Bing, who stroked his beard and said, “I don’t know if his brain can recover, but according to my observation, the Ghost King’s power has a certain effect in suppressing the poison in his body, so this might not be a bad thing.”

He could see now and would no longer be blind for no reason.

“The Ghost King’s cultivation is so deep, but he can only suppress it. Can’t he treat it completely?” On the way here, Yu Wan still had a trace of hope. Yan Jiuchao had become so powerful. Could he have even recovered from the Fragrance of Hundred Miles? It seemed that she was thinking too much.

However, it was good to be able to suppress it. At least he didn’t have to drink medicine every day.

“How long can it be suppressed?” Yu Wan asked.

Qiu Bing pondered for a moment and said, “At most half a year, at least… three months. The benefits of this suppression are obvious, but the disadvantages can’t be ignored. When the poison acts up again, there’s no way to alleviate or suppress it. He has to obtain the antidote. Otherwise, he only has one outcome—death.”

Yu Wan looked at Old Cui.

Old Cui spread his hands. “Don’t look at me. I’m helpless too.”

Yu Wan touched her stomach with one hand. “In that case, we don’t have much time to find the medicinal primer.”

But where was the medicinal primer? The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment. Suddenly, Yu Wan thought of something and took out a token. “Grandma, do you know this?”

Shadow Thirteen looked over. “When Ah Dou brought us through that passageway, we also found the same totem on the stone wall. Why are they very similar to the Ghost Clan’s totem, but different?”

Qiu Bing was silent.

“Grandma, we have no intention of prying into the Ghost Clan’s secrets, but if this matter is related to the search for the medicinal primer, I still hope you can tell us the truth.”

Yu Wan had never forced Grandma and the others to do anything. Even when she sensed that they were hiding their identities, she did not ask. But it was different now. Yan Jiuchao needed the medicinal primer. Her intuition told her that the totem on this token was related to the medicinal primer.

“Where did you find it?” Qiu Bing asked.

“At the bottom of the cliff.” Yu Wan told Grandma about Yan Jiuchao and Ah Dou falling into a trap and being saved by the old witch in the courtyard.

Qiu Bing closed his eyes and sighed. “It’s fate.”

Everyone looked at him in shock.

Qiu Bing shook his head. “Forget it, I’ve kept this secret for so many years. It’s time to reveal it to the world. This token is indeed related to the search for the medicinal primer.”

Everyone waited for him to continue.

Qiu Bing took a deep breath. “Are you very puzzled why the token and the totem on the stone wall are so similar but different from the Ghost Clan’s totem? That’s because the real Ghost Clan is no longer here.”
