Chapter 391: Escape from Famine in the Ancient World 12
This time, the natural disaster came so suddenly and violently, like the end of the world. The affected area and even the entire Tianhuan Continent could not be contained or rescued at all.
On the third day of the natural disaster, countless people were killed or injured in various places. Officials bluntly said that the emperor had made a serious mistake and angered God, so he was punished by heaven.
Although the emperor was angry, facing the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of people every day, he thought for a long time and finally had no choice but to write an edict of repentance to appeal to heaven.
I have to write it! This natural disaster cannot be stopped, and I don’t know where to get help. If all the people die, then what is the point of him being an emperor?
Up to now, the natural disaster has occurred for half a month, and the emperor has written eighteen edicts of repentance.
In recent days, the emperor went to the altar to ask for forgiveness from God almost three times a day, but the disaster situation did not change at all, and it even continued to oppress all living things on this earth.
If this continues, once Shengjing’s food runs out, death will eventually await everyone.
And this continent will soon lose all vitality and become dead silent.
Just as Yuyan and Xie Ying entered Shengjing, another edict of repentance from the emperor was burned to the sky.
Then God showed up.
Then came… a new natural disaster: earthquakes.
The earthquake did not last long and was small in scope, but it caused great damage to the imperial palace.
The palace collapsed, the ground cracked, and the entire palace became a ruin in an instant.
At this point, he had no way to defend himself against the fact that the emperor was punished by heaven.
…………
The Xie family is a remnant of an ancient clan who have always lived in seclusion and existed independently from the Three Kingdoms.
It was not until the last head of the Xie family was born that the Xie family came to power. And now the Xie family is the richest family in the world.
The Xie Ying that Yuyan knew was the second son of the Xie family. The patriarch of the Xie family was his elder brother, named Xie Xuan, who was also a business genius on this continent.
Not only has he created countless wealth at a young age, but he also has extraordinary abilities and connections.
What's worse, it is said that he also knows many rare magic skills. However, because of learning those skills, he suffered backlash and became disabled in both legs.
At this time, Yuyan and Xie Ying had just returned to his home. They were led into Xie Mansion by the guards. Along the way, although Xie Mansion also had pavilions and attics, there was no sign of being flooded, let alone a trace of damage.
It is not only because the Xie Mansion is located at a high altitude, but also because there are underground pipes dug in the Xie Mansion. The most incredible thing is that there are formations set up inside and outside the Xie Mansion.
Just like there was a heavy snowstorm outside the door just now, but after entering Xie Mansion, there were only a few scattered snowflakes.
It was obvious that someone had used the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation to reduce the damage caused by the natural disaster by eight or nine points, and the remaining damage to the Xie Mansion was just a drizzle.
So when millions of people were struggling to survive extreme natural disasters, they were living a very comfortable life.
The guards of Xie's mansion brought Yuyan and the other person to a rain-viewing pavilion, bowed and left.
Yuyan looked up and saw a person sitting in a wheelchair with his back to them in the pavilion.
Although his face and age cannot be seen clearly, his extraordinary temperament can be seen from his straight back. Could this be the male protagonist?
While Yuyan was still confused, she heard Xie Ying speak loudly to the people in the pavilion.
"Brother, everything in Nanyuan Kingdom has been settled. There have been many natural disasters recently. Is your health okay?"
"Ah."
The man responded calmly, then turned his wheelchair around.
Yuyan felt her eyes suddenly light up, and she was stunned by the handsome man in front of her.
The man was wearing a dark blue robe. He was tall and had a great figure. His thick black hair flowed down behind him, and his meticulously carved face was simply flawless.
She had seen a lot of ugly, skinny bastards recently, and when she saw one so overly delicate and beautiful, she almost couldn't take her eyes off the man.
It was only when Xie Ying secretly pulled her sleeve that she came back to her senses and saluted the man.
"Thank you, sir."
Before Xie Xuan could say anything, Xie Ying gently corrected her.
"Yanyan, this is my brother, you should also call him brother."
...Is that so? Yu Yan smiled gently and called out again.
"Brother."
Xie Ying was satisfied then. He smiled at her and then introduced Yu Yan to Xie Xuan.
"Brother, this is the girl I rescued on the road. She is also my fiancée. Her name is Yuyan."
Xie Yu glanced at Yu Yan indifferently, then immediately frowned and turned his head away, speaking venomously.
"It hurts my eyes."
"…………" Was he indirectly calling her ugly?
Yuyan was so angry that she immediately reached the top of her head. She knew that she was ugly, but she would never allow anyone to say that. Whoever said that would be beaten.
Yuyan's big pussy was ready, but Xie Ying grabbed her hand, shook his head at her, and explained to her in a soothing manner.
"Yanyan, don't mind it. Brother always speaks frankly. He never means to belittle you. And no matter what others say, you will always be the most beautiful girl in my eyes."
"........."
You'd better not explain it at all. Aren't you just echoing your brother's words? I don't know whether to say you're trying to stop the fight or to stir up trouble.
At this time, Xie Xuan glanced at the two people's clasped hands again, his eyes flashing.
He put his hand on his forehead again, blocked her eyes, and spoke to Xie Ying.
"Your house has been flooded and is probably uninhabitable. During the repair period, you two should live in the West Garden first!"
After he finished speaking, he waved at the two of them and continued in a calm voice.
"Go down!"
"Sorry to bother you, brother."
After thanking her, Xie Ying took Yu Yan to the West Garden.
Life in the home of the richest man in the world is indeed comfortable. Not only is the temperature in the mansion just right, but there are also all kinds of delicious food.
Although Yuyan did not treat herself badly during the escape, a natural disaster is a natural disaster and fleeing is fleeing. Like those disaster victims, her life was miserable.
At that time, everyone was together all day, and she really couldn't cook for herself.
Now that she could finally have a good rest, Yuyan was taking a bath and eating fruits, feeling so comfortable.
That evening, the earthquake struck again.
This earthquake was like a dragon turning over. It was so powerful, with a wide epicenter and a large range that it covered the entire Tianhuan Continent.
However, because Yuyan was in Xie's mansion which was protected by a formation, she was not only safe and sound, but also did not feel any shock.
But at that time she immediately packed her luggage, and took the initiative to hand the Qiankun bag to Xie Ying, then pushed him out of the door and asked him to go and save people.
The people who have been taken aboard the giant ship will not be in any danger except for some bumpy rides.
But the people in Shengjing still need rescue.
Now Xie Ying has been trained by her to be very outstanding. Not only does he have strong internal strength, but also superb lightness skills. He is the perfect person to do this kind of hard and tiring work.
