The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 486 - 7: Post-Marriage Extra (Part 2)
Yun Chunnuan thought about how everyone must face death, so she decided to let him go peacefully.
Unexpectedly, Jiao Dazhi started flailing his arms and legs, directly pushing He Xuanzhi, who was crouching in front of him, down.
When Yun Chunnuan looked again at the direction he was staring at, it was no longer at her husband.
As she regained her composure, a scream from He Xuanzhi echoed, "He won’t make it! Where’s the peach branch? Hurry! The ritual!"
Jiao Dazhi died, leaving in utter terror.
Vaguely, Yun Chunnuan seemed to hear a cold voice reprimanding next to her ear, "How dare a human interfere with life and death, overestimating their abilities!"
A gust of cold wind passed, making Yun Chunnuan shiver.
Only then did she realize, Jiao Dazhi’s fear moments ago was likely due to the spirit coming to claim his life.
And she had just administered Spiritual Spring Water to Jiao Dazhi, leading the spirit to misunderstand her intention to save him?
The misunderstanding was extreme...
She merely didn’t want him to leave in too much pain, unexpectedly accelerating the spirit’s time to claim his soul.
Would this misunderstanding lead to her punishment?
Yun Chunnuan was a bit panicked.
But at that moment, she couldn’t dwell too much. When He Xuanzhi took out the Eight Diagrams Mirror to cover little A-Xun, she simultaneously used the peach tree branch, striking A-Xun’s head while chanting her father’s name along with a series of spells she didn’t understand.
Five minutes later, A-Xun’s body limply collapsed, luckily caught by Yelyu Lie.
Once A-Xun fainted, Yelyu Lie instructed He Xuanzhi to start the ritual and then carried A-Xun out of the room.
Yun Chunnuan stayed behind with her mother.
Lady Qi tightly held her daughter’s hand, her palm sweating nervously, "Will it work? Nuannuan, will your father..."
"It will work!" Yun Chunnuan held her mother’s hand back, understanding what she worried about.
Each time they found a body for her father previously, it always expelled him right upon entering.
Even if he successfully entered a shell, he couldn’t awaken, meaning his soul couldn’t control the physical body.
Although she assured it would work, Yun Chunnuan was extremely nervous.
She watched the Eight Diagrams Mirror flicker like light twinkles.
The peach tree branch originally had seven everlasting peach blossoms, now wilting petal by petal, intensifying Yun Chunnuan’s panic.
Suddenly, all the lit candles in the cell extinguished.
And the Eight Diagrams Mirror in He Xuanzhi’s hand went completely dark, with only a peach tree branch left, its petals all fallen, occasionally striking every inch of the corpse.
Sweat broke on He Xuanzhi’s forehead as he grew tense; it was his first time doing such a thing, not knowing if he was capable.
Now the cell was completely dark, and Jiao Dazhi hadn’t awakened, making him tremble...
Did it...fail?
Silence engulfed the cell, with no windows it remained gloomy even in daylight.
Outside, the wind roared like a beast’s rampant howls, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Only the scent of decay permeated, suffocating enough to make it hard to breathe.
Someone lit a firestick, illuminating the candle, finally bringing a sliver of light to the cell.
He Xuanzhi nervously glanced back at Yun Chunnuan, then checked for breath under the corpse.
Turning around, his pale face shook towards the expectant mother and daughter.
Lady Qi, who was trembling with anxiety, barely dared to breathe, now seeing the doctor’s shake of the head, gasped deeply, and her body sank down softly.
"Mom!"
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t care to look at Jiao Dazhi’s body, hurriedly catching her fainting mother. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Outside, Yelyu Lie had just left the cell, as if telepathically, temporarily handed the child to the guard’s hands and hurried back.
"What’s happened?"
To Yelyu Lie, though sometimes he loathed the Grandmaster’s heartlessness, he had to admit that whatever she intended to do, she always succeeded.
For him, his father-in-law’s body swap was a sure thing, impossible for any mistake.
So when little A-Xun fainted, his first thought was to save the child,
a lifeblood for Na Jiezhe, though he treated both sons equally, accompanying him for years, Yelyu Lie knew which one he valued more.
This child’s body had been occupied by the father-in-law for five years, uncertain what side effects withdrawal might cause.
Although the father-in-law was important, he couldn’t harm this child’s body.
His first thought was to send the child to the Imperial Physician’s mansion, without considering the possibility of failure.
Seeing the scene in the cell now, his heart sank upon asking.
Yelyu Lie quickly moved forward to lift Lady Qi, "Nuannuan, you go home first, I’ll take mother and A-Xun to Imperial Physician Cui."
He finished speaking and called the guard to send Jiao Dazhi’s body back to the General Mansion.
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t settle her mind about her mother and worried about her father.
But with her husband there, Yun Chunnuan followed him back to the General Mansion.
Waiting from morning till night until Yelyu Lie returned with Lady Qi, yet the body remained unresponsive.
And Yun Yi’s Spiritual Body couldn’t be sensed by the Eight Diagrams Mirror.
Yelyu Lie felt deep remorse, blaming his overconfidence for assuming the matter was foolproof.
Lady Qi, though sorrowful, instead comforted her son-in-law.
Who can guarantee such mystical endeavors? This isn’t the first failure, she was mentally prepared.
It’s just her hope was too high, so it’s hard to accept at the moment.
Everyone was immersed in sorrow, except for Yun Chunnuan, who stayed by Jiao Dazhi’s body, silently seated with no reaction.
As Yelyu Lie grew anxious, Yun Chunnuan suddenly stood up.
The two went outside, where Yun Chunnuan softly whispered to Yelyu Lie, then took the bare peach tree branch, headed into the West Wing Room where no one was present, and her whole person disappeared on the spot...
