Chapter 822: Soul‑Calming Pin, Anomaly!

Ye Qingran's heart suddenly softened.

Fine, she missed him too.

She missed him a lot, especially!

Missing someone truly is a mysterious thing!

"I didn't do anything with her that would betray you."

Fu Hanxiu said again.

As for what deeds might have wronged her, there's no need to elaborate here.

"When I first saw her, I knew she wasn't you." Even though Luo Qingcheng had possessed Ye Qingran's body, he still recognized the abnormality at a glance.

Ye Qingran felt delighted inside.

This guy must be madly in love with her! Otherwise how could he see through Luo Qingcheng's scheme at a glance?

Ye Qingran began to consider it from the other side: if a man possessed Fu Hanxiu's body to deceive her, could she see through it at a glance?

She thought seriously for a while and reached a conclusion.

The answer was affirmative.

"So powerful, huh? Should I reward you properly?"

Ye Qingran couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"Hmm," Fu Hanxiu muttered, "You must reward me properly."

Ye Qingran smiled and patted Fu Hanxiu's head.

As she kept patting, she suddenly realized she also liked patting her own son's head, and she sighed, "Indeed, men are essentially children!"

Fu Hanxiu straightened up and called out, "Fu San!"

Fu San, clear-headed, replied, "Here!"

"Activate the Great Array!"

Seeing the Talisman Fu Hanxiu tossed to him, Fu San's eyes lit up.

Soul Binding Array!

Your Majesty, does this mean you intend to become Soul Mate with Ye Qingran, sharing life and death from now on?

"Wuwu, so moving!"

On the Array, Ye Qingran was startled, "What are you..."

Want to become Soul Mate with her?

Fu Hanxiu looked at her gently, his flawless handsome face breaking into an intoxicating smile.

Under everyone's gaze, he knelt on one knee, tilting his head slightly upward.

"Ye Qingran, will you become Soul Mate with me, from now on, regardless of life or death, staying with me?"

His demeanor was extremely devout.

Every word that fell from his mouth resonated with weight.

At that moment, Ye Qingran couldn't help recalling the vows from her previous life's wedding.

"I do."

In this life, she felt the luckiest thing was meeting Fu Hanxiu.

To know and love him, and bear children for him, was her greatest happiness.

Receiving Ye Qingran's affirmative answer, Fu Hanxiu's smile grew even brighter.

The Great Array blazed intensely; Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu became Soul Mate, and from now on, no one could separate them!

Fu San's eyes welled with tears; he turned his head and wiped his face.

Your Majesty found his own happiness; as his subordinate, I sincerely feel glad for him.

"Huh?" Ye Qingran suddenly sensed something was off.

She suddenly glared at Fu Hanxiu, "You changed the rules!"

Fu Hanxiu only smiled without replying.

Just now, he slightly altered the rules.

That is, as Soul Mate sharing fate, if Ye Qingran perishes, he will also perish, but if he perishes, Ye Qingran will not!

"How can you do this?"

Ye Qingran's eyes turned red.

"Fool, I want you to live well."

Ye Qingran lifted her head slightly, refusing to let tears fall.

"But have you ever thought, if one day you leave me, that would be my greatest tragedy; how could I live alone?"

Fu Hanxiu's heart throbed intensely.

He could not imagine such a day ever coming.

Fu Hanxiu tightly embraced Ye Qingran and said, "That day will never come."

Ye Qingran was actually very clear; she knew that day would inevitably arrive.

After all, who can remain immortal forever?

As long as they cherish each day they live, whenever that day arrives, there will be no regrets.

"Hmm. I believe you."

However, she did not ask Fu Hanxiu to revert the changes.

If one day Fu Hanxiu leaves her, she will also follow him.

The rules, to her, were not important.

Lady Lan kept watching every move of the two from a short distance.

When she saw that Fu Hanxiu had actually become Soul Mate with Ye Qingran, a faint glow flickered in her eyes.

"Truly heaven aids me!" she sneered, and a row of spikes suddenly materialized in her hand behind her!

Timing it right, she shot those dozen‑plus spikes outward!

The target was aimed straight at Ye Qingran!

"Watch out!"

Fu Er sensed the anomaly and let out a startled shout.

Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu also felt the disturbance.

But Lady Lan's attack was too sudden, and she herself was very powerful; those spikes were not ordinary spikes but the Lan family's treasured Soul‑binding Spike from Tongtian Road!

Ye Qingran had no time to react!

Seeing the Soul‑binding Spike about to pierce Ye Qingran's body, Fu Hanxiu suddenly darted, pulling her into his arms, his back turned to the spike...

The sound of the Soul‑binding Spike sinking into flesh reached Ye Qingran's ears.

Ye Qingran's pupils narrowed sharply.

"You..."

Fu Hanxiu's towering frame froze, his pupils instantly shrinking to a point.

He tilted his head slightly, his whole body seeming torn by some force.

"What?!"

Lady Lan never even dreamed that Fu Hanxiu would shield Ye Qingran from the Soul‑binding Spike!

However, looking at Fu Hanxiu's blood‑soaked back, there was no remorse in her eyes.

"Let's go!"

Lady Lan snorted coldly and left with her followers.

The others had no extra thought to mind her; they all pounced on Fu Hanxiu.

"I—I'm fine..."

Fu Hanxiu lowered his head, trying to raise a faint smile and comfort.

Ye Qingran shook her head; even though she still didn't know about the Soul‑binding Spike, that terrifying power already made her feel a huge threat!

"It's the Soul‑binding Spike!"

Fu Er and Fu San ran over to see, and Fu Er's face turned pale.

Soul‑binding Spike?

"Pfft~"

Fu Hanxiu spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body trembling before he lost consciousness.

Three days later.

Summit of the Hunt.

In Fu Hanxiu's room.

A boy of about five lay on the bed.

If you didn't look closely, you'd think it was Fu Qianchen.
