Han Li was quite tempted, but he didn’t act rashly. The sisters could accept holding a meeting, but Lu Tianxiang clearly couldn’t, and she would even be unwilling to have private discussions.
“Husband-” Lin Yiwu called out softly.
“Yiwu, do you have something you want to tell your husband?” Han Li turned his face to look at Lin Yiwu.
As the saying goes, to look charming in every way, Lin Yiwu was already incredibly beautiful, and at this moment, dressed in white, she was a truly stunning and lovely woman.
“Something seems off with Xi Xi recently, should husband go take a look?” Worriedness filled Lin Yiwu’s eyes.
Lin Yiyin joined in and said, “Husband, Yin’er has noticed too. Sometimes Xi Xi talks to herself in the carriage, and her tone is different, as if she’s become a different person. ”
“I’ve asked her, but she said there’s nothing like that, and she has no such memory.”
Han Li’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled as the image of the young cutie Yao Xi and her voice and smile came to his mind. Could it be that the seal within her soul had come loose?
Before moving, Yao Xi had complained about headaches and often had inexplicable characters flashing through her mind. After understanding the situation, Han Li deduced it was part of a powerful cultivation technique.
Yao Xi also mentioned some place names, but none of those places existed in Qianyuan Divine Province.
However, they moved soon after, and many things happened during the relocation. He got occupied with conquering Lu Tianxiang, handling the matter of Jiang Baiye, and then focusing on his own combat ability, indeed, he had not checked on the little Ioli for quite a while.
Yao Xi was only about thirteen or fourteen years old now, and Han Li didn’t dare to pluck this tender flower. He simply decided to raise her first and would talk about it when she grew up.
“What are your thoughts, Tianxiang?” Han Li turned to look at Lu Tianxiang in his arms.
Lu Tianxiang shook her head and said, “I don’t know what this condition is.”
In fact, she had a guess in her heart. This condition seemed to align with the predicament of great beings on the verge of breaking the mystery from within the womb, after being reincarnated.
Powerful experts who cultivated to the Tongxuan Realm had the chance to be reborn. If guided by other strong beings, they could quickly break the mystery and remember everything from their past life, advancing swiftly in cultivation with the experience from their former life.
If there was no strong being to guide them, then they had to rely on themselves to break the mystery, which was difficult. History recorded many such powerful experts who disappeared without a trace after reincarnation, living and dying as one of the masses.
However, Lu Tianxiang didn’t believe that someone as powerful as a reincarnated great being would appear beside Han Li; that would be too fortuitous. It would mean that Han Li had such good luck that he could casually pick up a reincarnated great being to bring home.
With her delicate and charming features, Yao Xi was the epitome of a beautiful woman in the making. Even at thirteen or fourteen, she was already stunning, and she would be a breathtaking beauty when she grew up. Even if she wouldn’t quite match up to herself, she wouldn’t be far behind.
Lu Tianxiang was well aware of Han Li’s plan to raise Ioli’s, and with his lecherous nature, once Yao Xi grew up, he would definitely take her into his fold as a concubine.
Han Li nodded. He was just asking casually since Lu Tianxiang didn’t know he didn’t press on.
“Then you two chat, I’m going to check on Yao Xi.”
As his voice faded, Han Li’s figure vanished, reappearing inside another carriage.
This carriage was set up in a cutesy and tender style, brimming with a young girl’s heart. Yao Xi was sitting by the window, supporting her chin with both hands as she looked outside.
When Han Li appeared beside her, Yao Xi didn’t notice at all.
“Xi Xi, what are you looking at?” Han Li stretched out his hand to ruffle her little head.
“Ah? Brother, you came.”
At the sound of his voice, Yao Xi immediately turned around, a surprised and joyful smile spreading across her little face.
“Brother hasn’t come to see Xi Xi for a long time, Xi Xi missed you very much.”
Yao Xi reached out to grasp Han Li’s big hand, as if this gave her some sense of security.
“Then, should brother come to see you more often?”
“Yes, yes.” Yao Xi nodded vigorously, her small hand still clutching tightly to Han Li’s big hand.
Han Li’s brows furrowed slightly. Yao Xi’s reaction was a bit off. Thinking it over, he directly asked, “Xi Xi, have there been any strange memories appearing in your mind recently?”
He suspected that the seal within Yao Xi’s soul had loosened, causing some memories to leak out. These were likely the memories from her past life.
But Yao Xi had not yet broken the riddle of the womb, and seeing these memories might lead to some unwanted effects, such as speeding up the process of unraveling the womb riddle and completely recovering past-life memories.
Generally speaking, once past-life memories are recovered, a person’s disposition is greatly altered, given that the current life is short while the previous one could have spanned thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Those capable of reincarnation and rebirth are at least great powers of the Tongxuan Realm, living for ten thousand years, but Tongxuan Realm great powers only meet the standard for reincarnation and rebirth, with a low success rate; Saints of the Shengyuan Realm are the mainstream.
Saints live exceedingly long lives, up to one hundred thousand years, and it is not an exaggeration to say they have achieved immortal life.
After Han Li broke through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, his lifespan significantly increased, and together with the lifespan rewards from his descendants, it reached a little more than one thousand six hundred years, similar to the years many in the True Martial Realm had lived through.
The lifespan of the Myriad Phenomena Realm is only one percent of that in the Shengyuan Realm, but their strength doesn’t even amount to one-millionth of a Saint’s.
If Yao Xi showed signs of unraveling the riddle of the womb, then he would have to intervene. Han Li didn’t want her to awaken her past-life memories too soon.
A Yao Xi awakened to her past-life memories wouldn’t be easy to control, as she was a being whose strength once far exceeded his; who knew what methods she had?
He preferred to control the current Yao Xi, to wait until Yao Xi grew up, until she became dependent on him, fell in love with him, to take her in—then it wouldn’t be too late to help her awaken her past-life memories.
The older Yao Xi got, and the more she experienced, even if she awoke to her past-life memories, there would be room for struggle, and she would not immediately become dominated by those memories.
“Hmm-” Yao Xi responded softly, a trace of worry appearing on her little face.
Han Li’s large hand rested on her head, rubbing gently, and he spoke softly,
“Don’t be afraid, brother is here.”
“I’ll help you check later, don’t be scared.”
“With brother here, Xi Xi isn’t scared,” Yao Xi said, lifting her head to look at Han Li’s face.
Han Li nodded, and sent a thread of his Spiritual Sense into Yao Xi’s mind to probe the secrets of her soul.
Previously, he hadn’t dared to do so due to insufficient strength, but now that his Divine Spirit was comparable to the True Martial Realm, he was capable of doing some things.
After checking, Han Li furrowed his brow; the seal at the deepest part of Yao Xi’s soul had indeed loosened.
This loosening of the seal caused some past-life memories to surface, confusing Yao Xi’s memories; no wonder Yao Xi would occasionally change temperaments and talk to herself.
At the same time, the loosening of the seal also made Yao Xi’s soul more complete, significantly strengthening her mental power, revealing some of her hidden talents, which astonishingly reached Third Grade, surprising Han Li.
This further solidified Han Li’s resolve. Then, the thread of Spiritual Sense took on Han Li’s form, and he formed several seals with his hands and stamped them onto the loosened part of the seal, creating a new barrier to isolate it.
“No matter what abilities you had in your past life, in this life you’re destined to be under my control.”
Han Li snorted coldly in his heart; Yao Xi was a golden seedling he was nurturing by his side, waiting to reap in the future.
When he first discovered the seal in Yao Xi’s soul, he had already harbored such intentions. A strong reincarnated being is easiest to control in their weaker years.
Once Yao Xi’s seal was wholly removed, her talents would return to her past-life levels, which would be at least First Grade—a wife or concubine that Han Li could only dream of taking.
When Third Grade Han Yongzhen was born, it brought Han Li exceedingly generous rewards, but should a First Grade descendant appear, then the rewards might be ten or even a hundred times more bountiful.
First Grade talent is rare in both the Xuan Domain and the Qianyuan Divine Province, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter; since it appeared by his side, he definitely would not let it slip away.
As Han Li was reinforcing Yao Xi’s seal, within the vast and endless Yuankun Domain, in a brilliant and prosperous Imperial Court.
An entity clad in Golden Divine Armor, exuding layers of golden ripples from her delicate body, commanding boundless prestige, suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with anger.
“Who dares to seal the fragment of my Divine Spirit!”
A tremendous voice rose in the majestic hall, a terrifying aura quaking the universe, alarming countless ancient beings.
The Golden Armor Empress stepped majestically toward the outside of the palace, her graceful curves rippling intensely.
Recently, she had sensed that the seal on a fragment of her spirit was loosening and that she would be able to pinpoint its location after a little while longer, but suddenly that faint connection had disappeared.
Clearly, someone with nefarious intentions had tampered with her spirit fragment.
