Chapter 1184 - 1184: The Power of Bloodlines

Despite Liu Zixuan having no recollection and Jiang Yiyi not being present at the time, after listening to Qiqi's account, they both felt like they were experiencing it firsthand, as if they were placed in the scene of the past.

The anger in their hearts couldn't help but ignite, admiring Liu Zixuan's courage at the time, yet feeling an indescribable rage toward the actions of that family.

"What happened later!"

Normally, Liu Zixuan would mostly be listening to other people's stories, but today's story had him involved, making him even more anxious to know what happened next.

Honestly speaking, Liu Zixuan originally didn't have much fondness for that supposed family, but after hearing these events, he seemed even more resistant to them.

Qiqi's delicate eyes stared at Liu Zixuan, as if seeing her greatest reliance.

She then shook her head: "I only remember that at the time, my brother was holding me in his arms, facing so many people, roaring, shouting to protect me. I also saw family elders stepping forward to try to stop you but were scared off by your frantic actions."

"I don't know how the matters of that day were resolved; that part of my memory was erased. When I woke up again, only mother was beside me. I asked her, where did brother go? She cried and shook her head."

At this point, Qiqi choked up: "I searched through the entire family, searched all over the Snow Domain, but never found you. At that time, I felt like dying; when I returned to the family again, a decision had already been made regarding me."

"What was it?" Liu Zixuan's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"The family originally intended to execute me, but due to an event, that plan altered; instead, they simply sent me out of the family, to the place where you found me back then, and sealed me there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiyi frowned: "So after that, you didn't know where Zixuan went?"

"I know, before the seal, mom met with me alone. She told me that brother is in the Star Sea, and when the time comes, he will come to find me. At that time, I should protect brother and help him grow up."

"Did you really believe it? What if she was lying to you and I was already dead?" Liu Zixuan gently stroked Qiqi's forehead: "You silly girl."

Qiqi stubbornly shook her head: "No, even though I was sealed, after you broke through into the Imperial Realm, I could feel you."

"Feel me?"

A flash appeared in Liu Zixuan's eyes: "Was it those dreams?"

The first time he encountered Qiqi was in the Celestial City Seven-Star Tomb; at that time, Qiqi was very strange, having breath and pulse yet seeming dead. When Liu Zixuan placed the Jade Hairpin in her hair, he entered an Illusion Realm.

The second time, it was still in the Illusion Realm, whereas the third time, Qiqi appeared among many lotus flowers.

Qiqi nodded: "Actually, those cannot even be considered as dreams nor Illusion Realms."

"Then what exactly are they?"

"Brother, what feeling did you have when you saw me those few times?" Qiqi asked.

Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "Although it felt very unfamiliar, deep down there's an innate sense of closeness."

"That's the power of the bloodline," Qiqi explained.

Jiang Yiyi slightly nodded: "Indeed, this kind of bloodline power exists. When Yunxuan and I were born together, there were many times when we would have inexplicable senses."

With this, she asked suspiciously, "But that doesn't make sense, right? You and Zixuan aren't from the same family, how could there be bloodline power?"

"Because half the blood in my body is my brother's." Qiqi raised her head abruptly and said.

Jiang Yiyi and Liu Zixuan exchanged a glance; where did these words come from?

"Aren't you curious why the family first wanted to execute me, later sending me to the Star Sea to protect my brother?" Qiqi spoke with a gentle smile: "I just mentioned, it was because of an event!"

Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin: "Could it also be because of me?"

"Yes, the family wants to execute me because I am not part of the family and they think I might bring doom. Brother, I don't know where you found a Secret Technique that could help me change my fate."

Qiqi paused and continued explaining: "This method of changing fate involved changing my bloodline. I don't know how you achieved it, nor what cost you paid for all this. The point is, after helping me change my bloodline, your blood flows within me, while you left the family and came to the Star Sea."

"To trade half of your blood for your life."

Honestly, Jiang Yiyi was truly moved at this moment. She really hadn't thought Liu Zixuan had done so much for Qiqi, and every act was so thrilling, making it difficult to calm one's emotions.

At this moment, Jiang Yiyi was even more puzzled about how Liu Zixuan at the age of ten accomplished these things. Was there some sort of agreement with the family? But why let him depart from the Star Sea and come alone to the land of Star Sea?

Where exactly is that so-called family?

Qiqi raised her head: "These are the stories of Qiqi and my brother. Now you should understand why I defended my brother so fiercely?"

Yes, Qiqi being alive was entirely due to Liu Zixuan, with his life-saving grace engraved deep in the bones.

That's why she acted so passionately whenever anyone spoke ill of Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan took a deep breath: "It's truly unimaginable that I actually did such things back then."

"Zixuan, if you do it all over again, would you still do the same?" Jiang Yiyi suddenly asked.

After all, the present Liu Zixuan was completely different from the past Liu Zixuan.

Qiqi also lifted her head, a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Liu Zixuan took a deep breath: "No matter if I could start over once or countless times, I would do it the same way. Whether it was the former me or the current me, no one has the right to take an innocent person's life. If it's an enemy, I won't hesitate to kill, but for innocent people, it's absolutely impossible!"

As he spoke, he bowed his head to look at Qiqi: "A lovely girl like Qiqi, I would never believe she could bring any misfortune."

"What if I grow up and actually bring you misfortune?" Qiqi asked.

"Then I would still hold you in my arms and then go madly against that misfortune!" Liu Zixuan replied without hesitation.

"Hmm hmm." Qiqi nodded forcefully, hugging Liu Zixuan directly.

Jiang Yiyi looked at the pair of siblings, with tears in her eyes so moved that she didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Such complex matters also bore witness to the deep bond between this pair of siblings.

After a long time, Qiqi pulled away from Liu Zixuan's embrace: "Brother, I tell you these things hoping you don't hold resentment against the family. After all, they really treated you well."

"That family... where are they?" Liu Zixuan asked.
