Chapter 216

Seeing this, Jiang Sishui's taut heartstrings instantly loosened.

It seemed reality had patched the plot hole from the original work.

As for why Hou Jian still remembered her own name?

Jiang Sishui didn't know, but there was no need to dwell on it.

Because strictly speaking, if a person truly forgot everything, she shouldn't even be able to speak.

Jiang Sishui stepped forward and said, "Your name is Hou Jian, you are of the Rain Clan, from the Ice Domain."

"Rain Clan... Ice Domain..."

Hou Jian murmured, committing it to memory, then looked up at Jiang Sishui and asked, "And you?"

"Me? I am your husband."

Saying so, Jiang Sishui took Hou Jian's soft hand and held it in his palm.

At the same time, he silently recited to himself: a future husband is still a husband.

Husband?

Hou Jian was slightly taken aback, but she did not push Jiang Sishui away.

At this moment, her heart was like a pure blank sheet of paper, on which anyone could write and draw.

At the same time, in her cognition, there was no concept of "deception."

Therefore, she believed everything Jiang Sishui said.

"You are my husband, I am your wife..." Hou Jian gazed at Jiang Sishui, her blue pupils flickering with inquiry and curiosity.

Jiang Sishui gave a slight smile and drew Hou Jian into his embrace.

Hou Jian did not resist either, very obedient and compliant.

Immediately after, she felt the face opposite lean toward her, and then her sandalwood lips were held.

Hou Jian blinked, no blush, no shyness, only a kind of curiosity.

A desire to explore something new.

But very quickly, her curiosity was replaced by her body's instinct.

Seeing Hou Jian's gaze grow hazy, Jiang Sishui tossed out the "Hegemony Imperial Chart," and the two vanished from the spot.

As for the Rain Clan's divine sword, it naturally followed Hou Jian.

……

Several li away, Ba Shao and Hei Chuan faced east, looking at the morning sun on the horizon in a long silence.

After a while, Ba Shao murmured, "Hou Jian is already the new Sorcerer Sovereign."

Hei Chuan frowned and said discontentedly, "Ba Shao, you clearly know that person might be lying! Ma Feng is dead, that sword strike might well have been Ma Feng's. Only then would he have no need to fear our Rain Clan's curse."

"Yes, I guessed that long ago."

"Then why did you still..."

"But apart from that, do we have any better choice?"

"I... I..."

Ba Shao sighed and said, "I can sense we are no match for him, and he doesn't seem to want to be our enemy either. Turning against him would truly be unwise."

"Moreover, he might really be able to lead us to Xu Yang and the previous Sorcerer Sovereign."

"Compared to Hou Jian, Xu Yang and the previous Sorcerer Sovereign are more important to the Rain Clan."

Hei Chuan had no words to reply.

After a moment of silence, he said again, "Ba Shao, Hou Jian was raised by you since childhood. Can you bear it in your heart? When we meet again, she... she won't even know what she'll have become, maybe she won't even recognize us."

Hearing this, Ba Shao shook his head helplessly, a trace of melancholy appearing on his aged face: "Bear it? Naturally I can't bear it, but there's no helping it."

"However, I think that young man doesn't seem like a bad person. I expect Hou Jian following him shouldn't end up being led astray."

The Rain Clan's Sorcerer Sovereign had changed one after another, and the two of course knew what state a newly ascended Sorcerer Sovereign was in.

One could say that was the most vulnerable, least able to act on her own moment in a Sorcerer Sovereign's entire life.

In the past, Sorcerer Sovereigns always underwent their transformation in the Ice Domain, with the entire Rain Clan protecting her, and after ascension, the Rain Clan's four great ritual masters would write and draw on that "blank sheet of the heart," so no major problems had ever arisen.

Having an outsider do it was still the first time in history.

"I hope our Rain Clan still has a day of revival."

Ba Shao silently prayed in his heart.

……

Mantuo Shanzhuang.

In the room, looking at Hou Jian beside him, Jiang Sishui suddenly felt a sense of guilt over "abducting an innocent maiden."

But this was only a momentary thought.

Jiang Sishui was never a pedantic person; since he had resolved to take Hou Jian, there was no need to be bound by convention.

While Hou Jian was still a "blank sheet," let the two of them develop the most intimate relationship, leaving the deepest impression in each other's hearts.

Then, even if unforeseen changes arose later, Hou Jian would not be able to leave him.

……

For the next three days, Jiang Sishui stayed at Mantuo Shanzhuang the whole time, not in a hurry to continue the journey.

Not only did he need to accompany Hou Jian, he also couldn't neglect the two new members, Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang.

And during this period, Hou Jian was welcomed by everyone; the women often clung to her, watching her perform sorcery and putting on all sorts of marvelous shows.

At the same time, under Jiang Sishui's instruction, the women also began teaching Hou Jian all kinds of things.

Looking at the smile on Hou Jian's face, Jiang Sishui felt she was far more adorable like this.

In the drama, Hou Jian couldn't let go of old feelings, deeply bound by Ma Feng.
