Chapter 289 Getting An Answer
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The scent of herbs began to spread in the room as Yun Mingshen slowly prepared the basin with the mixture that was needed for a blood test.
The procedures took some time, but no one tried to rush through the preparation. This was extremely important to Yun Mingshen, so both Bai Rouyun and Mo Chu stayed quiet as they waited for him to finish.
"Rourou, come here."
Yun Mingshen’s heart was hanging all the way up his throat. He was expectant, but also worried. He hoped that Bai Rouyun was truly his cousin, and while he was convinced that it was the case, this blood test was the final important proof he needed.
Bai Rouyun stood up. She found that her heart was also beating rapidly. Although she was as convinced as Yun Mingshen about their blood ties, she still felt strange when the actual proof was going to be presented in front of them.
Yun Mingshen was kneeling in front of the barrel, and while his identity was extremely noble, he seemed to have thrown away all his dignity in return for a slight hope.
Yun Mingshen found a small dagger and cut a small wound in his palm, after which he let a few drops of blood fall into the barrel with the herbal water.
Bai Rouyun looked at this blood as it fell into the barrel, and she reached out her hand to let Yun Mingshen cut her palm on his own.
Yun Mingshen and Bai Rouyun understood each other well. He knew that she trusted him, and that she wanted him to be completely certain, so even the cut on her hand would be made by himself, and he would be able to observe the blood as it dripped from her body and into the barrel.
The blood dropped and fell into the herbal water. The small pools of blood had gathered in two pools with a bit of distance between them, and due to the herbs, the water had become black, making their appearance very remarkable.
A few moments went by, before the two pools of blood began to squirm. At first, it was merely ripples that went through these small pools, but soon they began to slowly wiggle towards one another.
The slow and awkward movement of the blood pools made both Bai Rouyun and Yun Mingshen stand with bated breaths as they tried not to blink.
The blood pools were not able to move easily, but it was as if a strange attraction between the two pools was present, resulting in their need to get closer to one another.
Soon, the two blood pools had reached the middle of the barrel and they began to merge. The moment the two pools touched one another, both Yun Mingshen and Bai Rouyun were full of anticipation, but also slight fear, as they worried that they would reject each other.
However, the two pools merged very easily, and soon, only one bigger pool of blood could be seen within the barrel.
This result made it clear that the two pools of blood shared kinship, and that Bai Rouyun was Yun Mingshen’s biological cousin.
Although the two pools of blood had merged into one, it still took some time for Yun Mingshen to regain his senses. All the memories from his childhood began to flood his mind, and he was stunned as he remembered his aunt’s appearance.
When he looked at Bai Rouyun, he could see that she had some of her features. Although it was likely that the majority of her appearance was from her father, she still had her mother’s eyes and dimples when she laughed.
"I’m sorry."
Yun Mingshen did not go into details with what he was apologizing for. It was not even certain if he knew it himself, but he felt that he owed this young lady much more than could ever be repaid.
She had grown up without a mother, and her years of living in the General Bai’s mansion could be considered mistreatment.
She had been gifted to a man as an item, and while it had turned out to be a way for her to find salvation, the way it had been done was truly humiliating.
"I am fine." Bai Rouyun gently assured Yun Mingshen that nothing was wrong. She smiled sweetly as she led him to the chairs where he could sit down, catch his breath, and explain some things.
Bai Rouyun knew that if she did not explain her possession of this body properly, then Yun Mingshen would never realize that the two souls were both fragments of one soul, so she had to explain it properly before he heard anything from anyone else.
Mo Chu was not chased out as Bai Rouyun began to explain her situation. He had already been told about her situation previously, and while he was still very amazed by it, he had sworn an oath of loyalty, and would never mention it to anyone.
"So, let me understand it properly, in a previous lifetime, your soul was injured and fragmented. You are currently two of these fragments merged together and have the memories of your past life as well?"
Yun Mingshen was astounded when he heard what Bai Rouyun said, and seeing her nod, his eyes widened in surprise.
"That is quite surprising."
Although he had heard from the books of legends that this could happen, it was not something that he had ever come across before. He had never expected that it had happened to his cousin.
"The biological family of my previous life, of the soul fragment that has merged with this body and soul, is the Bai family from the Wushi Continent."
