Chapter 774: Asking for Forgiveness
Xiao Yifei lay on the ground, quickly dragging an old wooden box from under the bed, then took out a sandalwood box from inside the old wooden box. Despite its age, the purple sandalwood box filled the room with an ancient, distant fragrance as soon as it was exposed to the air.
This was the box his mother had concealed all her life, and Xiao Yifei knew only that it contained his mother’s most treasured possessions. What specifically the valuable, priceless treasures of gold and jewelry might be, Xiao Fei was also unaware.
Seeing the look in his mother’s eyes, Xiao Fei quickly opened the sandalwood box. To his surprise, as well as Lin Zhuyu’s, there was no gold or jewelry inside, just a half section of a withered purple-black piece of wood, about the size of a sugar cane and very ugly in its strange and bizarre shape.
"Mom, what is this?" Xiao Fei frowned and asked doubtfully, not optimistic about the half piece of withered wood.
"Fei’er, this is an ancestral bloodline object of the Xiao family, quick, drop blood to acknowledge the master, quick..." Xu Caixiao said with trembling fingers as her pale lips quivered, her face anxious and excited.
Chen Fei and Lin Zhuyu exchanged glances, both sensing an unusual aura. Without hesitation, Chen Fei bit his finger and dripped his blood, drop by drop, onto the withered wood.
Drop by drop, his blood soaked into the purple-black withered wood. After a slow absorption without any clear change, ten drops, twenty drops, thirty drops until a full ninety-nine drops had fallen when suddenly, the withered wood moved!
The withered wood violently quivered and emitted a burst of purple light. Then, it suddenly levitated, sticking to Xiao Yifei’s fingertip, beginning to crazily absorb Xiao Yifei’s blood.
