Chapter 486 Are You Lan'er?
A decision flashed across her eyes. Even if there was only a one-tenth chance, she would still try...even if it cost her life.
Several spirit beads appeared in the old woman's hand. Seeing that the power of the Thunder Tiger was about to hit her, she became ruthless and threw the spirit beads towards the center of the formation.
However, at this critical moment, the spirit pearl flew uncontrollably in one direction at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor!
Immediately afterwards, a dragon's might that shook the world descended from the sky. Bang, the two forces collided, and the force spread out in all directions in a circular shape, making an earth-shaking sound, which instantly disintegrated the force, and even the earth shook.
The Thunder Tiger was forced to retreat a few steps due to the force, a ray of silver light broke through the air, and the oppressive feeling from the dragon's might followed. The nine-story-high dragon body fell to the ground, and a woman in red slowly walked out from behind it, domineering, wanton, and ostentatious.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to her. It was a beautiful face, with long black hair fluttering in the wind. Her clear eyes contained a faint smile. The blood lotus between her eyebrows was alluring and burning like fire, like a goblin who brought disaster to the country and the people. In front of her, it seemed that the most beautiful scenery in the world dimmed a little.
A phantom dragon emitting purple lightning followed her closely, moving forward step by step.
"That's a phantom dragon!"
"It's a phantom dragon with thunder attribute!"
"..."
There were exclamations from the crowd.
The old woman lying on the ground couldn't take her eyes off Ji Jiuying ever since she appeared. There was shock and disbelief in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
The Lan family members not far away looked at Ji Jiuying curiously. Lan Ting said, "Second brother, do you think that woman looks a lot like cousin Lan'er..."
"Hearing you say that, it does seem..."
Soon, while the old woman was stunned, Ji Jiuying came to the old woman, squatted down and looked at her with a smile: "Grandma, are you okay?"
Hearing Ji Jiuying's voice, the old woman came back to her senses instantly, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked straight at her face. She thought she looked like her Lan'er from a distance, but when she got closer, they looked even more alike!
The old woman could no longer control the tears in her eyes, and even her voice trembled: "Lan'er...are you my Lan'er?"
"My Lan'er is back..."
"I'm sorry, Lan'er. It's my fault that I failed to protect you."
Hearing this, Ji Jiuying's heart was filled with shock. This must be the magical power of blood connection.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers of the Lan family looked at each other and saw puzzled looks in each other's eyes. Is that their cousin Lan'er?
"Impossible, that girl's bone age is only fifteen, how could she be Lan'er?"
"Yes, Auntie must have made a mistake."
The old woman burst into tears and gently stroked Ji Jiuying's face with her trembling hands. Ji Jiuying looked at her lost and recovered appearance and let her stroke her face.
"Mother-in-law, you are injured. This is the elixir I made. I'm giving it to you."
Ji Jiuying's voice brought her back to her thoughts. She suddenly pulled back her old hand, but the disappointment that flashed across her eyes could not escape Ji Jiuying's eyes.
She is not her Lan'er, she is not her Lan'er.
But why does she look so much like her Lan'er? Why does she feel so familiar looking at her, as if the person standing in front of her is Lan'er, but her bone age is only fifteen years old.
The dream was eventually shattered. She was in a daze these years, always dreaming of Lan'er complaining to her...
"Girl, I'm sorry. I must have scared you just now. You look so much like my daughter." The old woman wiped her tears and said with a smile.
Ji Jiuying shook her head and said with a smile: "Grandma also looks like Jiuer's grandmother..."
The old woman was startled, then came to her senses. Her Lan'er had just reached the age of marriage when she disappeared. If she had grown up in an ordinary family, she should have become a grandmother by now. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on her...
Ji Jiuying's eyes moved slightly. The Feng family had just learned about her mother giving birth to her some time ago. Her grandmother had left the Feng family more than ten years ago. In addition, the Feng and Lan families had no contact for a long time, so it was normal that they didn't know.
The old woman was about to say something when her eyes widened in fear, "Girl, be careful behind you!"
Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold, and a cold light flashed by, clang!
The sharp claws of the Thunder Tiger collided with the cold night, making a harsh sound that seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums.
"Mother-in-law, I'll be back soon. This is a pill for healing your wounds." As he said this, he placed the pill in the old woman's hand. The red afterimage stepped forward to catch the night. The man and the tiger entangled together, attacking at an extremely fast speed. Only the sound of swords colliding could be heard, but their every move could not be seen clearly.
Ling Xiao's tall body shrank visibly, and finally turned into a white-haired boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, standing a few meters away from the old woman.
Upon seeing this, the people from the Lan family not far away were shocked again. They were all curious about who that girl was.
The old woman looked at the girl fighting with the Thunder Tiger with a worried look, holding the bottle of pills tightly in her hand and never taking them.
"Aunt, how are you?"
Lan Ting and Lan Yu stepped forward to help the old woman up, looking at her worriedly, and finally their eyes fell on the pill in her hand.
"Aunt, this little girl appeared suddenly, and she looks so much like cousin Lan'er. I'm worried that something might happen..." Feng Ting said. Although this girl saved his aunt, he always felt that it was too much of a coincidence.
"Aunt, can you let me check this bottle of medicine first?"
Lan Yu also spoke up. He said that he couldn't let his aunt eat anything given by someone of unknown origin. It just so happened that he was also an alchemist, so he could check whether there was any problem with the pill or not.
The old woman shook her head: "I believe this girl. Besides, if she hadn't appeared and caught the spirit pearl just now, I would have been reduced to ashes by now... I am an old woman, who would go to such great lengths to harm me..."
The two brothers of the Lan family frowned. That being said, they were afraid that she had ulterior motives in saving their aunt. It is better to be safe than sorry.
"Aunt, you can't let down your guard just because she looks like Lan'er's cousin. Maybe she is taking advantage of this to trick you into letting down your guard..."
The old woman smiled and said, "Although she is not Lan'er, she gives me a very subtle and kind feeling..."
Seeing that the two were still worried, the old woman put the pill given by Ji Jiuying into Lan Yu's hand and said, "Take it."
Lan Yu took the pill from the old woman's hand, and the moment she opened the bottle, her face suddenly changed. She was so frightened that she quickly closed the lid, as if there was something terrifying!
Lan Ting and the old lady looked at Lan Yu's shocked expression with confusion, wondering if there was something wrong with the pill.
