Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 456: It’s Great to Have You Here (1)_1

Shangguan You gave a light cough and nodded, finally managing to tear her gaze away from Ye Sanshao. She slowly shifted the topic, her gaze dimming as it fell upon the person on the ice bed.

"If she continues to lie on this ice bed, how much longer does she have? Just half a year, as Li Wanying said? After being moved here, will the presence of spiritual power extend her time to two years?"

"One year. The spiritual energy here is richer than outside, but it’s still quite thin," Ye Sanshao replied with certainty. "The spiritual energy from the ice bed and within Hidden World Village can, at most, grant Lin Mengjie one more year."

"Yes, if we move her to a place with even richer spiritual energy, could we extend her time? Could she wait until we find the reason for her feigned death?" Shangguan You murmured, twirling lightly as she slipped from Ye Sanshao’s embrace. She crouched gently, quietly observing Lin Mengjie’s face, which bore some resemblance to her own.

She gently stroked Lin Mengjie’s cold face. Looking at Lin Mengjie’s body, stiff from prolonged unconsciousness, she gently massaged her limbs; her eyes stung, and her heart felt empty. When her hand touched Lin Mengjie’s rigid legs, Shangguan You resolved to move her into the space. One could remain in the Crystal Coffin, while she would place the other on the Cold Jade Bed. As long as they absorbed the rich spiritual energy within the space, perhaps they would soon awaken. Even if they didn’t, they wouldn’t die. As long as a breath of life remained, Shangguan You would find a way to revive them.

Now, all the answers lay in finding the mysterious person behind Li Wanying. Once that person was found, everything would be resolved. Moreover, her intuition told her that this mysterious person had instructed Li Wanying not to lay a hand on her, meaning the mysterious person would surely come looking for her. If that was the case, it meant she still had some exploitable value. As long as she had exploitable value, she would have the grounds to negotiate with that mysterious person. Furthermore, within Hidden World Village and among the major families, she needed to establish good relations, using the elixirs in her possession to become allies with them. She now needed a more powerful force.

"Theoretically, yes, even though the spiritual energy here is considered the strongest in this world," Ye Sanshao nodded, agreeing with her statement.

"Ye Sanshao, wait for me a moment," Shangguan You spoke softly, her form vanishing into the secret chamber in a flash. Lin Mengjie’s body, lying on the ice bed, also began to fade, pulled bit by bit into the space by Shangguan You.

"AH!" Li Wanying let out a sharp cry. She had just woken up to see Shangguan You disappear, as well as Lin Mengjie’s body gradually vanishing, shocking her into screaming aloud. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ye Sanshao’s eyes turned cold. With a flash, he was standing before Li Wanying. A wave of his hands sent an invisible pressure toward her. Li Wanying didn’t even have a chance to utter a word before Ye Sanshao seized her. As he applied pressure, he muttered under his breath.

A moment later, Li Wanying’s body slumped limply to the ground, unconscious. When she awoke, she would have completely forgotten everything she had just witnessed.

A flicker of admiration crossed Ye Sanshao’s eyes for Zhuge Feng. He had evidently built such a secret chamber here, and its soundproofing was exceptionally good. Otherwise, Li Wanying’s scream would surely have attracted the attention of people outside.

Ye Sanshao vanished swiftly, leaving the place where Li Wanying lay, and reappeared next to the ice bed. Regarding Lin Mengjie’s disappearance, he knew without a second thought that Shangguan You must have taken her.

Shangguan You could disappear silently before his very eyes and now make Lin Mengjie vanish too. It was clear she had her own secrets, just as he harbored his.

Within the space, Shangguan You used the Water Chains, intending to move Lin Mengjie bit by bit into the Medicine King Tower, specifically to the Cold Jade Bed on level 5. This might be helpful for Lin Mengjie. However, just as Shangguan You flashed onto level 5, Lin Mengjie’s body was blocked at the entrance.

A thin barrier repelled Lin Mengjie, and the Water Chains entwined around her were also blocked. Shangguan You continued to command the Water Chains, trying to pull her inside.

"Master, outsiders cannot enter here," the voice of the Medicine King Cauldron chimed in at the right moment, as it flew into level 5. The small cauldron materialized before Shangguan You.

"Why can’t she come in? If she can enter the space, why can’t she enter the Medicine King Tower?" Shangguan You asked, puzzled.

"Within this space, aside from the Master, no living creatures are allowed to enter. The reason they could enter is because they are akin to the dead; that’s why they were able to enter this space. But in the Medicine King Tower, no one but the Master can enter," the Medicine King Cauldron replied with its childlike voice. It had also studied the person inside the Crystal Coffin and determined they were almost like a dead person.

The person the Master had just brought in was just like the one in the coffin. It had initially assumed the Master was bringing that same person out, not expecting it to be an entirely different individual—and a relative of the Master, no less.

"But I can bring in those medicinal herbs, and even refine them into medicine?"

"Those medicinal ingredients inherently belong to this space and, therefore, to you, Master. This space and everything within it came into existence along with the Medicine King Tower. The stronger your abilities, Master, the more powerful the Medicine King Tower’s functions become, and the larger the external space will grow. But these outsiders are different. Although the spiritual energy in this space is beneficial for their bodies, it cannot awaken them. And they certainly cannot enter here."

"Master, you can place them together. One can be in the Crystal Coffin, and the other on a Purple Lotus Leaf. Let their bodies slowly absorb the spiritual energy within the space. If you insist they enter the Medicine King Tower, it will negatively affect not only you, Master, but the Medicine King Tower as well," the Medicine King Cauldron advised.

As the Medicine King Cauldron spoke, it transformed into a mirror, reflecting the Crystal Coffin within the space, as well as Lin Mengjie, who was also there.

"Alright, I understand," Shangguan You nodded, feeling somewhat disappointed. However, the outcome would be similar. As long as she could prolong Lin Mengjie’s and the other person’s life, their location didn’t matter. She directed the Water Chains to place Lin Mengjie on a Purple Lotus Leaf, laying her body flat upon it.
