Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 139 Talk to Him Honestly

In fact, she had some understanding of her own condition. Except for the time when she was recuperating in the tomb, she rarely talked about her illness with him. She just took her medicine obediently and he took care of all the treatment.

As for the contents of the parchment scroll, the two of them never discussed it in depth for some reason.

Today, she wanted to have a frank talk with him.

Some problems must always be faced.

After he finished speaking, she seemed to hear him let out a barely perceptible sigh. After a while, he continued, "Yes, once you become half-corpse, you can never return to being a normal person. However, your situation is different. Your body has been transformed by the medicinal properties of the Dragon Spirit Flower, and your foundation is very good. So after consuming the spiritual essence, you resisted most of the erosion of the corpse poison and did not become half-human, half-corpse like Jiang Yuan."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at her and gently touched her head. "Since it can't be changed, then let's find a way to make your life better. This is actually a good thing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How many people dream of immortality, something they dare not imagine, and yet you have it. You should be happy."

"As for the spirit essence, I need some time to study it slowly. I can only give it to you after I confirm it's harmless. As for Jiang Yuan, I'm leaving it to you. Even if he survives, his eyes are broken, so he won't pose much of a threat to you. From what we know, his body should also be able to cultivate spirit essence, so he should be a good spirit-nourishing body. Even if not, it doesn't matter. If he shows his appearance to others, countless people will come to deal with him."

"Besides, the bottom of the rock is deep and there are resentful spirits suppressed there. He will most likely not be able to get out. In the future... when you think the time is right, you can send someone to retrieve the spirit essence."

After hearing what he said, Si He felt very complicated. After a while, she said, "Cousin, when my condition stabilizes, can we go to the Tianshan Mountains again?"

Ning Ji looked at her eager eyes and smiled, "Okay."

He naturally understood what she meant. She wanted to go look again to see if there were any more Dragon Spirit Flowers.

But such natural treasures are not cabbages, and they need to be guarded by exotic beasts and nourished by each other. It takes tens of thousands of years for them to mature. How could they still exist?

What's more, the little spiritual energy that was left there had begun to dissipate.

He didn't hold out any hope, but if she wanted to find it, she would go and take a look.

"Anything else you want to ask?" He reached out and smoothed her hair.

She pursed her lips, looked at him, and shook her head.

"Are you hungry? You didn't eat much this morning. Should I take you out for some more food?"

"it is good."

She sat in front of the dressing table, and Ning Ji took a comb and helped her comb her hair.

"I went to two businesses this morning and picked out a few suitable houses. After lunch, I'll take you to see them. You can buy whichever one you like."

"it is good."

Ning Ji combed her hair into a simple style, and then took out the jewelry she had bought yesterday and asked her to choose one to wear.

Si He chose some pieces in plain colors instead of those shiny jewels inlaid with gems, so as to be less ostentatious.

Despite this, she still looks dazzling after wearing jewelry.

Finally, Ning Ji sat next to her, took the delicate earrings, and put them on her carefully and seriously.

However, when his fingertips with thin calluses touched her earlobe, her body trembled slightly, and she felt a little sensitive.

He stopped, looked at her and asked: "Did it hurt you?"

"No." She didn't look at him, but turned her face slightly, her eyelashes trembling.

He continued with his hand movements, a hint of obscurity flashing in his slightly lowered eyes.

After everything was ready, Si He looked at the bronze mirror. She had to admit that Ning Ji's dressing skills were quite good. The simple hairstyle paired with the exquisite jewelry looked very good.

Ning Ji also thought she was very beautiful, but soon his face turned unhappy because he didn't want outsiders to see her like this.

Si He was puzzled to see his expression suddenly change. She turned her head and glanced at the bronze mirror. It seemed nothing was wrong. "Is it not good-looking?"

"It looks good." He thought for a moment and then said, "It's windy outside. Should I put a veil on you?"

Si He turned her head and glanced out the window. Indeed, the wind was quite strong. "Okay."

Ning Ji gave her a cloak and a veil, and after she put them on, he took her out of the inn.

At noon, we went to the same restaurant as last night to have lunch. However, because it was dinner time, there were a lot of people and the restaurant was almost full. Although there were no private seats upstairs, there were still a few empty tables on the first floor.

The two of them chose a table by the window and sat down, ordering the same dishes she liked yesterday.

Just as we ordered the food, we heard a loud commotion coming from outside the long street.

Si He turned around and saw a group of vendors pulling seven or eight prison carts passing through the street.

There were many people in each prison van, both men and women, old and young. Their hands and feet were tied with strong ropes. Their clothes were tattered, their hair was unkempt, and their faces were dirty. They looked very miserable.

Some women and children were even crying sadly, while others had empty and numb eyes, with fatigue and despair on their faces.

Passersby on the street pointed at them and talked about them. Many people even looked at the people in the prison van as if they were looking at goods.

Ning Ji said to her: "This is the slave trade."

Si He turned to look at him, and he then told her about the current situation in Beisha Kingdom.

In Beisha Country, the slave trade is a very normal phenomenon. In fact, it is not only in Beisha Country, but other countries also have this kind of trade. In Dayan Country, there are many businesses that sell servants.

The wealthy and powerful families had the greatest demand for this, and some small families would also buy slaves to do the work, which was normal.

Si He was not someone who knew nothing, but after witnessing the scene of human trafficking with her own eyes, she still felt complicated.

In this era and the world, it is difficult to live a stable and worry-free life.

At this time, a man stopped the leader of the vendors in the street, pointed at a woman in the prison van, and said he wanted to buy something. He looked a little anxious, as if he knew the woman.

The convoy stopped and the leader of the merchants walked to the prison van, took a look at the woman, and then quoted a price.

The man was furious and scolded him for asking a high price.

According to the current market price, a female slave is worth at most thirty taels of silver, but this merchant actually asked for one hundred taels of silver!

Some passers-by on the street also scolded the vendor for being cruel, but the vendor just said that this was a good product and it was up to him to buy it or not.

The man was furious, but he didn't have enough money to buy it, so the merchant ordered the caravan to set off again and go to the cooperating business in the city.

For good goods, the vendors will not have trouble selling them. As long as they clean out the business, they won't have to worry about no one wanting them.

The man turned around and left angrily.

It was just a minor incident and the crowd on the street dispersed.

At this time, the waiter brought the dishes over and Si He withdrew his gaze.
