Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1062: Illusion

The kiss was brief, a mere taste.

Xiao Rongyan restrained his heavy breathing, his deep black eyes intensely staring at the breathless Bai Qingyan. He kissed her lips again before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Is there any room in Kid’s mind for me with all these books left by his mother?"

"Speaking of which..." Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the words in these books left by Empress Ji?"

Xiao Rongyan glanced at the bamboo slip left by his mother, then straightened up and picked it up to take a look. He said, "I have read these books... I once asked my mother about them. My mother said... these are not suitable for this era. She left them hoping that one day, when the right time comes, they can inspire the monarch of that time so that Yan does not fall."

Bai Qingyan’s lips parted slightly, so... was Xiao Rongyan’s initial refusal to decide the outcome between the two countries based on national policies also because of Empress Ji?

Not wanting to remind Xiao Rongyan of sad things again, she got up and took the bamboo slip from Xiao Rongyan’s hands: "In that case, we can discuss this later. Let’s first talk about the matter of this Four-Nation Alliance."

Xiao Rongyan nodded and casually placed the bamboo slip Bai Qingyan rolled up to the side, "Come..."

Xiao Rongyan led her to the chair. After he sat down, he pulled Bai Qingyan into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.

With their eyes at the same level, Xiao Rongyan said to Bai Qingyan, "The reason Tianfeng Kingdom is holding this Four-Nation Alliance is because their Great Shaman... received divine revelation. The God has chosen a ruler for this land, so if they forcibly occupy it, they will incur divine punishment!"

"Divine punishment?" She looked towards Xiao Rongyan.

Xiao Rongyan nodded: "Tianfeng Kingdom has a desert. It is said that the desert was the God’s punishment transforming what was once the most suitable fertile grassland for grazing into a desert that Tianfeng people cannot easily venture into. Moreover... it is said that the desert in Tianfeng Kingdom is expanding daily, devouring their farmland. This is the true reason Tianfeng Kingdom stepped into Xiliang, not because they share the same deity as Xiliang."

"How do you know this?" she asked.

"Xiliang is not so wary of Yan, so Yan grain merchants can easily mix into Xiliang to gather information."

She nodded, lowered her eyes, and thought carefully, "Divine punishment..."

Hearing Bai Qingyan’s soft murmuring, Xiao Rongyan held Bai Qingyan’s delicate hand, playing with it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you believe in God?"

She lifted her eyes to look at Xiao Rongyan, whose gaze seemed skeptical, and firmly said, "I don’t know if the Tianfeng God believed by the Xiliang and Tianfeng people truly exists, but I respect their belief in a deity and do not consider their faith to be unfounded. I believe Heaven is watching..."

Otherwise, how could she, in moments of despair and unrestful death, be reborn and return before Jinxiu’s marriage?

Which implies that Xiao Rongyan himself doesn’t strongly believe in it. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
