Chapter 375 - 372: I’ve Got Your Back
The Old Clan Chief knew he didn’t have many more years to live. For almost a decade, he had been relying on extremely precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to preserve his life, yet even so, his body was declining day by day, visibly aging.
Yet he couldn’t bear to close his eyes in peace, not having seen the revered son spoken of by the Holy Maiden appear, not having seen the Blood Curse of the Si Family broken. He would not be able to die peacefully, nor face the Holy Maiden without shame.
Now, the one prophesied by the Holy Maiden had appeared, and her prophecy was correct.
The Holy Maiden had never been wrong.
The Old Clan Chief wiped the corners of his eyes, his face flushed with excitement.
Si Lengyue advised, "Old Clan Chief, your health is not good, you must not get too agitated. Xixi, could you take his pulse and prescribe a conditioning prescription for him?"
She looked at Qin Liuxi with pleading eyes.
The Old Clan Chief waved his hand: "No need, this old servant’s bones won’t last many more years. If I can see the Blood Curse broken, I can then rest peacefully beneath the ground and serve the Holy Maiden."
Qin Liuxi said, "If that is the case, then you should still have your pulse taken. Breaking the Blood Curse won’t happen immediately upon decree."
Upon hearing this, the Old Clan Chief said, "Then I shall trouble the noble one."
Qin Liuxi stepped forward, her fingers resting on his wrist for a long while before she said, "Old Clan Chief, you are in good health. I presume in your youth your bones and muscles were well-tempered?"
The Old Clan Chief nodded, his face showing a trace of reminiscence, "In my youth, the Holy Maiden once immersed me in a medicine bath to strengthen my bones and muscles, initiated me with sacred rites, and I also took Body Strengthening Pills made by her own hands. Over the years, I have consumed many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, sparing me from serious illnesses, with only the occasional cold, all thanks to the Holy Maiden’s grace."
