His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 158: Life Story (One)

Feng Chen didn’t expect Yu Qing Qian to ask this, but he still knew some information about the Seven Great Clans.

“Your mother’s name is Leng Yu Jun. She’s the official first daughter of the Leng Clan, one of the Seven Great Clans, and also the direct, biological younger sister of the current Leng Clan’s Patriarch. She had been gifted since she was a child and has been highly sought after.

“The Patriarch of the Chi Clan and Leng Yu Jun grew up as childhood sweethearts. The Chi Clan and the Leng Clan has always had a close relationship, so it was natural for them to get married.

“Then Leng Yu Jun gave birth to Chi Mo Ran, but something happened to her when she was pregnant with the child. The specific accident was very secretive, no one knows, but it caused Chi Mo Ran to be born with a chronic illness, and if he couldn’t be cured, he will definitely not live past six years old.”

Feng Chen paused, then said: “When Chi Mo Ran was around two years old, the Patriarch of the Chi Clan took a woman in as his concubine. He loved her very much and was addressed as the Second Madam. She also gave birth to a son.”

Yu Qing Qian’s expression darkened after listening to Feng Chen’s words, “You mean that woman was betrayed by her husband, so she ended up with my dad? Then while she was at it, she gave birth to a child and used the blood essence to save Chi Mo Ran?”

“Don’t think so. According to the information I found, before the Patriarch of the Chi Clan married the Second Madam, Leng Yu Jun had already left the Chi Clan and disappeared for a long time.

“Leng Yu Jun should’ve become acquainted with your dad during that time.” Feng Chen thought for a bit, then added: “And the Second Madam was brought to the Chi Clan¹ after the period of time she had disappeared, and it was also she who facilitated and helped the Chi Clan’s Patriarch¹ marry the concubine.”

Yu Qing Qian furrowed her brows deeply and was also very puzzled, “There must be a lot of secrets involved in this. If she needed to use a second child’s blood essence to save Chi Mo Ran, then she and the Patriarch of the Chi Clan can just have another child, but why is it my dad?”

She just felt that it wouldn’t be that simple for Leng Yu Jun to choose her beauty dad. Otherwise, if this matter was publicised that the Chi Clan’s Madam cheated, the Chi Clan and the Leng Clan would lose face.

Feng Chen sighed and said: “You might not know, but more than ten years ago, there was a rumour that your dad, Yu Jing, was known to have the extremely rare Psychic Wood Spiritual Body not seen in ten thousand years.”

“What’s the Psychic Wood Spiritual Body?” Yu Qing Qian really didn’t know what this was.

“As the name suggests, the Psychic Wood Spiritual Body can communicate with plants, and a pure wood elemental essence would gradually be cultivated in the body.” Feng Chen stretched out his hand to hold one of Yu Qing Qian’s slender, fair hands, “If a woman unites with a man with the Psychic Wood Spiritual Body, the pure wood elemental essence releases, it will be passed onto the offspring.”

“So my blood essence can eradicate Chi Mo Ran’s chronic illness?” Yu Qing Qian suppressed the restless violence in her heart.

As long as Feng Chen was by her side and she smelled the faint medicinal fragrance on his body, then she could control the bloodthirsty violence within her body.

“Mm, the few drops of your blood essence that were taken away contained pure wood elemental essence, which can cure many incurable diseases in this world.” Feng Chen continued: “These were once regarded as rumours, but now it seems it’s true.”

“If that’s the case, then shouldn’t there be a lot of people interested in me? But over the years, except for that woman, no one else has tried to take blood essence from me.” This was what Yu Qing Qian was confused about.

“Firstly, it’s just a rumour that blood essence can cure diseases. It’s not certain whether your dad has a Psychic Wood Spiritual Body, and moreover, there are too few people who know that; and second, your body was extremely weak since you were born, which doesn’t fit the description of a child who is said to be born with pure wood elemental essence.

“In addition, you’ve been diagnosed and treated by many Healing-class Spiritual Plant Masters since you were young, and there is no pure wood elemental essence in your body, which has caused many people who suspected that your dad has a Psychic Wood Spiritual Body to give up.” Feng Chen replied.
