Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1998  The Price

"What are you talking about, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing frowned when he heard Nan Hua's question.

He had the feeling that the reason why she asked those questions was because of him, but he didn't really want anything to happen to Nan Hua. Nan Hua blinked her eyes and glanced in Long Qian Xing's direction.

"In the future I see… <You lost everyone important to you, Brother Long.>."

Long Qian Xing froze. The war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom was far from over. And Long Qian Xing from all people knew very well that his father was waiting for Great General Wei to take over.

And even then, after Great General Wei took over, it would take over a month from Great General Long's location at the north to reach where Long Qian Xing was currently located. So if Long Qian Xing were to fall into a perilous battle, he had to deal with it himself without anyone able to help him. It was something that they all understood.

But they tried their best not to think too much as they continued to fight against Shi Long Kingdom over the past few months. Now that Long Qian Xing heard Nan Hua's words, he understood that even though they had done their best, but… it might not be enough. "I…" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"<You survived, but none of your people who are close with you will be able to survive with you,>" Nan Hua replied.

The novel basically summarize everything that happened after Shi Long Kingdom's war. And Nan Hua guessed that it might be because of her own ability's limitation. If she wanted to see further… <it wouldn't be impossible, but the cost for herself would be high.>

Nan Hua herself didn't know how much <memory would be lost should she try to do that.>

And Nan Hua didn't want it.

She didn't mind seeing a bit of the future because there would be a little bit of things that she lost. <And if she could control it, she wished that it just erased the memory when she was dreaming and sleeping since it didn't really meant much for her>

But Nan Hua didn't know how to really control it. She could only hope for it whenever she was using her ability. "But what do you mean by…?" Long Qian Xing wanted to ask when the <World consciousness> came between the two of them. Seeing this <World consciousness>, Long Qian Xing really had the urge to smash it to the side so that it would not interrupt his conversation with Nan Hua. They did come here to see this <World consciousness>, but he felt that he should have discussed with Nan Hua about what they wanted to talk about with the <World consciousness> before they came here. "<Do you know the consequences of you lending your ability to others, Nan Hua>?" The <World consciousness> asked. "Yes." Nan Hua nodded. "<Loss of consciousness for a period of time.>"

"What do you mean by <loss of consciousness for a period of time>?" Long Qian Xing asked, his eyebrows furrowed. "It means literally." The <World consciousness> looked at Nan Hua and chuckled. "<I'm sure you have seen this one possibility before coming here, young lady. But it's not that simple. You need the agreement of the two parties if you truly want to lend your abilities to others.>"

Agreement.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and saw his face contorted.

Well, from the way it looked like, it wouldn't be so easy to persuade Long Qian Xing to agree to this matter. "Is there no other way?" Long Qian Xing asked, his tone was cold. He glanced at the <World consciousness>. "The future can be changed, right? There's no need for me to think that there will be only one way to solve it."

The <World consciousness> chuckled. "There are indeed some things that can be changed, but there are also things that couldn't be changed. I'm sure your little girlfriend know about this matter the best."

Nan Hua nodded. From the book that she read, there were things that she tried to change but could not change no matter what. And there were also things that somehow changed with her own actions inevitably.

It was strange.

But that was just how it was. Even with her knowledge over the future, it didn't mean that she would always be accurate.

The future could be changed.

"And this matter…"

"<It's not something she can change. Not when she couldn't see her own future.>" the <World consciousness> explained in another way. Even though Nan Hua's ability looked extremely outstanding and powerful, but the drawback was also very obvious. <She couldn't see her own future, no matter what she did. Because it's something that defied the law and couldn't be done. Of course, I can strengthen her ability to make her able to see her own future, but the cost….>"

The <World consciousness> paused at this time and floated in front of Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing. For some reasons, Long Qian Xing had a bad feeling when he saw <World consciousness>'s attitude. "Have you seen Gu Xia Mo's condition?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Long Qian Xing nodded and then asked, "Is it because he has asked for…"

"He asked for something that has high price." The <World consciousness> didn't explain more than that. "And what you're about to ask is also something that can be beyond what normal human could ask for."

Long Qian Xing frowned. "<So the price for you to strengthen our abilities…>?"

"<For you, you might not even be able to live past Fang Sheng Lin…>"

Long Qian Xing's face darkened. Based on what Nan Hua had estimated, Fang Sheng Lin's life wouldn't last long. <As for her…. Her own life might be even shorter for she would be punished by the law in this world. Because to see her own future meant that she's controlling the trajectory of her own life and it's not something a human could do.>"
