Chapter 352
But her son would never hurt her.
Gao Yue took the antidote. She put it in her mouth under Jiang Chen’s eager gaze.
Jiang Qingyu was frowning severely. He had a long face while observing his wife’s situation without blinking.
Soon, Gao Yue looked like she was in pain. She covered her stomach and gnashed her teeth. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
“It’s normal,” Jiang Chen comforted her. He also felt heartbroken.
The father and the son helped Gao Yue sit in a chair. By then, the pain had aggravated even more. Gao Yue couldn’t help but scream.
“Son, is she all right?” Jiang Qingyu asked worriedly.
Jiang Chen’s holy pulse was his, so there was no chance for it to counteract his phoenix blood.
And what usually happened in the aristocratic families of inheritance was that blood status would be stable for the child’s whole life after they turned twenty years old.
Jiang Chen would turn twenty soon, but there was still no sign of phoenix blood in his body.
But it was the fact that there hadn’t even been a small sign that had caught Gao Yue’s attention.
Theoretically, as the carrier of the purest phoenix blood in the past hundreds of years, even though her husband was an average man, it was impossible for her descendent to not carry even a little bit of phoenix blood. He should at least have thin phoenix blood or phoenix blood full of impurities.
Jiang Chen’s status was quite abnormal.
Gao Yue recalled the family record she had read.
When the blood of inheritance was super pure, it was called genuine blood.
Carriers of genuine blood were extremely scarce among aristocratic families of inheritance.
However, once such a person appeared, the aristocratic family of inheritance the person belonged to would grow rapidly and climb to the top of the world.
But it took time for genuine blood to wake up.
The way to wake up the blood differed with its properties, but all of them were dangerous. One could die in the process.
For example, to wake up the dragon blood of the Murongs, one had to walk into fierce dragon fire without any protection.
If one could bear the dragon fire and wake up smoothly, that person was a carrier of genuine blood.
If one didn’t walk out, it was out of the question that one would be burnt to death.
Many overconfident people who thought they had genuine blood ended up dying, so the Murongs forbid their disciples to perform genuine blood waking ceremonies on their own.
As for the Gao’s phoenix blood, the way to wake up genuine blood was easier, but more violent.
It was… suicide.
How they committed suicide didn’t matter, but they had to die. Genuine blood carriers would be reborn from fire after the nirvana of phoenix.
For non-carriers, death was death. They wouldn’t come back to life again.
There were no signs before the ceremony. People had to figure it out during, but usually these ceremonies would end in tragedy.
The only reason Gao Yue thought her son might have been a genuine blood carrier was that he didn’t have any phoenix blood in him.
But she wouldn’t make her son risk his life just because of that.
She wouldn’t even tell Jiang Chen about it, since those who died in the ceremony all had once believed they were genuine blood carriers, and they wouldn’t listen to any advice, finally paying the price.
