Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117: Chapter 805: Wings_3

His actions were completely different from usual, being extremely cautious, as if afraid that his fingernails might accidentally scratch that delicate skin.

"This child is very beautiful, she resembles you, and her talent is quite impressive, she’s surely set to be the next High Priest?"

Ying Zhao nodded but did not feel happy, instead she was worried. "I don’t know why, but lately my heart has been beating intensely, filled with anxiety, especially when I see this child... Her fate might be very turbulent, something may happen."

She sighed, "Born at this time, it is uncertain whether it’s a blessing or a curse, I worry that we might not be able to protect her in the future."

"I think, femininity represents new beginnings, the revival of life, it’s a symbol of good fortune for our Blood Clan." Nie Yi chuckled, evidently very fond of the child.

He didn’t offer empty compliments; he truly believed it.

The Blood Clan hasn’t been heavily influenced by the Polluted Land yet, but due to their unique constitution, bearing offspring is inherently difficult, especially since only females from the Priest Clan can pass down their roles through generations. Historically, many High Priests have passed their positions on to other descendants within the clan.

Looking at Ying Zhao, barely over thirty, having given birth to two sons and now a precious young female, she certainly represents strong fertility—an omen of good fortune.

Ying Zhao was somewhat comforted by his words, "Let’s hope Your Majesty’s auspicious words come true and that this child can live well."

"Yes, no matter what happens, we must ensure the child’s safety."

Nie Yi took out a blood bead and merged it into the youngling’s body.

Ying Zhao’s heart shook but she did not stop him.

This is a secret technique of the Blood Clan; if truly desperate, it can directly preserve the child’s life.

With Nie Yi’s power, the blood bead he condensed could preserve life for a thousand years.

Nie Yi was quite comforting to her, yet reaching this point, he was well aware that reality wasn’t as optimistic.

Upon leaving the room, as a parting request, Nie Yi deeply looked at her and proposed one last plea.

"Ah Zhao, can I... kiss you once more?"

Nie Yi was not asking for the first time privately.

In the past, he would find all sorts of legitimate reasons, but this time, he didn’t look for any excuse.

Just used his deep, blood-colored eyes to gaze intensely at the dignified and beautiful female in front of him, hiding feelings and desires buried deeply within, even tinged with a hint of supplication.

Ying Zhao’s expression remained gentle and calm.

But Shen Tang could feel that her heart also beat violently at that instant.

Yet, quickly, she forcefully suppressed this inappropriate feeling.

A voice inside said she must not make a mistake again.

As usual, Ying Zhao refused him again.

Nie Yi wasn’t surprised, having anticipated his rejection, he smiled lightly with a hint of bitterness, said nothing more, and turned away.

In the following half-year, the two scarcely saw each other again.

It was as if Ying Zhao sensed something coming; she refused to see anyone except for emergencies that required reporting, spending most of her time in the secret chamber, beginning to write history, or more precisely, a half prophecy book.
