Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 826 - 76: Femme Fatale

The fingers, slightly cold to the touch, just grazed her back, and Yue Jinghua instinctively frowned.

Chen Jiangyin withdrew his hand in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then cleared his throat, "How long has the mark been transferred to your back?"

"It transferred about a year ago, are you sure, could it be the Black Vine Pearl Flower?" Yue Jinghua donned her clothes and noticed that Chen Jiangyin’s expression had turned even gloomier, "Tell me the truth, am I incurably poisoned already?"

"Close your eyes, and I’ll help you recover some memory," Chen Jiangyin was at a loss for words and thought it might be better to let Yue Jinghua recall the missing piece herself to understand better why she was poisoned.

Yue Jinghua closed her eyes, and Chen Jiangyin’s fingers touched between her eyebrows.

A subtle needle-like sensation entered her body.

Yue Jinghua felt that a part of her mind, always foggy like it was shrouded in haze, was quietly being restored.

Memories flowed back like a retreating tide.

Yue Jinghua felt her body constantly shrinking, shrinking, from a teenager to a six or seven-year-old "Yue Jinghua."

At six or seven, "Yue Jinghua," both parents were alive, and she was the only cherished daughter of Blood Sakura Duke Yue Nian in the Dragon War Empire.

That year, she accompanied her father Yue Nian, invited by the Empress, to the Imperial Garden for an outing.

The important ministers, including Yue Nian, were invited to a banquet.

"Yue Jinghua," feeling bored, dragged Chen Jiangyin, who also came to the Imperial Garden, along with her. When she saw how delicate and cute Chen Jiangyin looked, she insisted on him wearing her clothes to dress up as a girl, and the two went to play with a shuttlecock in the Imperial Garden.

Halfway through their play, Yue Jinghua accidentally kicked the shuttlecock into the flower bushes.

When she scrambled to retrieve the shuttlecock and turned to find "Little Cheng" to play, she saw Little Cheng being pulled by a boy in black, crying incessantly.

"Where did this rogue come from, daring to bully ’Little Cheng,’" said ’Yue Jinghua,’ immediately bursting with anger and rushing up to scold the boy in black.

The memory had a sudden twist here, likely where Yue Jinghua’s memory was missing.

The boy in black turned around.

His face gradually came into focus.

Ying Wuwang?!

Yue Jinghua shivered.

The little girl "Yue Jinghua" and the boy in black were only a few steps apart.

This feeling was identical to the one she experienced when standing with Ying Wuwang.

The boy in black also lowered his head like Ying Wuwang and whispered in "her" ear, "What a beautiful pair of twin blossoms, who would have thought I, the Crown Prince, would encounter such a pair of twin lotuses on a visit to the Star Plane. Unfortunately, you are too young; I, the Crown Prince, will wait ten more years before coming to claim you. My dear little darlings, each of you, I’ve planted a Black Vine Pearl Flower, and when it blooms, it will be the time for the Crown Prince to come to marry you."

Yue Jinghua felt a chilling sensation emanating from the other person.

This feeling?!

She felt something similar when interacting with the Dark Demon Army troops.

No doubt, Ying Wuwang is a demon; he belongs to the Demon Clan.

He was far more formidable than those from the Demon Clan she had previously encountered in the Dark Demon Army. Could he be the Second Prince of Dark Demon?

Because the demonic energy from his body had been so well disguised that even City Lord Changsun had not detected it, such advanced concealment skills were exclusive to the Imperial Family of the Demon Clan.

After finishing his words, the little girl "Yue Jinghua" and the boy Chen Jiangyin both fainted simultaneously.

When they woke, their fathers had rushed over.

In the last part of "Yue Jinghua’s" memory, there was only Yue Nian, filled with guilt, casting a Mirror Soul Spell on his beloved daughter.

At the end of her recollections, Chen Jiangyin withdrew his fingers.

In her ear was his low voice, "Blood Sakura Duke Yue Nian probably cast the Mirror Soul Technique on you to protect you, trying to ensure that Ying Wuwang, the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, would not recognize you again. But the Mirror Soul Technique was too powerful for you back then, which also caused you to forget part of your memory."

Chen Jiangyin also told Yue Jinghua that the growth of the Black Vine Pearl Flower was connected to the Dark Power in the body.

The stronger the cultivation of Dark Power, the faster the Black Vine Pearl Flower grows, so to suppress the growth of the Black Vine Pearl Flower in his body, he gave up cultivating Dark Power.

And Yue Jinghua’s Dantian being destroyed early on was likely due to Yue Nian’s actions before his disappearance.

"You’re saying that by increasing my cultivation, it led to the premature sprouting of the Black Vine Pearl Flower and the transfer of the Demon Mark?" Yue Jinghua, recalling these things, couldn’t help but marvel at Yue Nian’s intentions, "Then what about the marks on your face? Is that Ying Wuwang crazy? You’re a man, and he wants to marry you too? Is male love popular in the Chen Plane?"

Chen Jiangyin groaned; if someone else dared to say this to his face, he would have poisoned them, but the one making fun of him was Yue Jinghua.

He rubbed his temples and wore the Purple Gauze with a gloomy face, "Wasn’t I just an innocent bystander who got shot? Ying Wuwang’s eyes must have been eaten by dogs to mistake me for a woman. Because of this damn Black Vine Pearl Flower poison, my father sent me to Danlu from a young age, and I was used as an experiment with various poisons, barely suppressing the Black Vine Pearl Flower poison. But since coming to the Four Symbols City and encountering Ying Wuwang and sensing the Demon Clan’s evil energy, the poison in my body was suddenly triggered and became uncontrollable."

"Damn Ying Wuwang, I need to get the antidote from him," seeing how Ying Wuwang behaved today, he might have recognized me too.

Yue Jinghua’s appearance had changed a lot from her childhood, but a beauty is a beauty, and her features retained some resemblance.

The most dangerous part was when she came into contact with the Sacrificial Evil Stone from the Dark Demon Army, the Black Vine Pearl Flower on her began to show signs of blooming, and her body unknowingly emitted the scent of Black Vine Pearl Flower that only demons could detect.

Ying Wuwang had determined Yue Jinghua’s identity based on that faint scent.

"No, we are not his match, besides, you can’t kill him; only he has the antidote. To my knowledge, the Black Vine Pearl Flower, also known as the Emperor’s Flower, is planted in small amounts only in the palace of the Demon Emperor in the Chen Plane," Chen Jiangyin was extremely troubled, being mistaken for a woman by a man and consequently poisoned with an incurable poison, such an embarrassing ordeal.
