Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Survival Through Desperation (Part 6)
Shu Jiao heard this and immediately burst into laughter.
She stepped forward, uncovering a small cat inside the little blanket, not even the size of a palm.
The little kitten had just woken up not long ago and was sucking on the small bottle in Ruanlin Family’s hand, its little belly round and plump, looking adorably innocent.
Shu Jiao tapped its little nose lightly, and the little fellow blinked its eyes and looked over. Its pale blue eyes were misty and couldn’t clearly see the person in front of it. It just meowed twice in this direction and then turned its head to continue drinking milk.
Looking at the kitten’s naive and clueless demeanor, Shu Jiao’s eyes suddenly welled up, and she sighed softly.
The heart-wrenching scene from three days ago seemed still vivid, making it hard for her to believe it was real. Her Jiaojiao was dead, nearly costing her half her life.
She couldn’t remember any promises she had made to Jiaojiao.
She only knew her Jiaojiao was dead, frightened to death by the Yuan Family people.
Her heart was shattered.
She had no thoughts, just the desire to kill all the Yuan Family people and then go to the afterlife to be with her Jiaojiao.
Her Jiaojiao wasn’t even twelve, so small, she would surely be afraid. How could she bear to let her go alone?
But then, the master Qin Qiong found appeared and told them that Ruan Jiaojiao was destined to face this calamity. No matter when it happened, she couldn’t escape it. It might be better to take this chance to end this fatal ordeal and find life through death.
He also said that Ruan Jiaojiao’s ordeal, in a sense, had its cause and effect.
Madam Yuan misunderstood his words, leading to this catastrophe for Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao was originally reincarnated against destiny, carrying disaster points. Unknowingly burdened with the sins brought by the Yuan Family, this disaster point hence came so fiercely.
So on the 15th of August, Ruan Jiaojiao did die, but the master locked one soul within her body, while the rest were drawn into this kitten with matching birth details.
To guide the soul back into the body isn’t impossible, but it requires a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng to temporarily preserve the body. Xiu Xi, Rourou, and Xiaobai have yet to return because they went to the front mountain to find this piece of thousand-year-old ginseng.
After eighty-one days, borrowing nine shares of fortune from nine children of fortune, Ruan Jiaojiao’s soul can be guided back into her body. With these nine shares of fortune, she will live a happy and peaceful life until her natural end.
For others, borrowing nine shares of fortune might be extremely difficult. Even if they find the people, those people may not be willing to lend them. Hence, it’s an almost impossible task.
But for the Ruan Family, it is extremely easy, because the nine sons of the Ruan Family are children of fortune, future leaders in various fields. Asking them to lend a share of fortune, even offering ten years of their own lives each, none of the nine brothers would blink an eye.
So now the biggest issue is merely how to preserve Ruan Jiaojiao’s body and then return the soul into the body after eighty-one days.
Listening to Shu Jiao’s sighs, Ruanlin Family also seemingly thought of this, only secretly praying that Xiaoxi must find it and return soon.
Ruan Jiaojiao has been gone for three days. If they can’t find it, they can only place her into an ice coffin, which would inevitably cause some damage to her body, something the Ruan Family members absolutely do not want to see.
