The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife Chapter 1817: Left With No Choice

Chapter 1817: Left With No Choice

Anling Yao suddenly said, “Wouldn’t the Soul Nurturing Pearl help if she’s just scared? Moon Embracing Palace has loads of them. If we could get one or two, Anan might get better.”

“Alas, with Anling Shuang and Yun Mingkun dead, how do we reach the Moon Embracing Palace?”

Yun Shaojun suddenly raised his head when he heard this and said, “I have a way to contact the Moon Embracing Palace.”

“What?” Everyone in the Anling Family was shocked and looked at Yun Shaojun, “Junjun, are you serious? Is there any way you can contact the Moon Embracing Palace?”

Yun Shaojun released his grip on his sister’s hand and retrieved a pendant from his embrace.

It was a green crescent pendant, resembling jade from afar but closer inspection revealed it to be even more transparent and radiant.

When Yun Shaojun saw the pendant, it brought back memories of his mother giving it to him, her final words full of desperation and longing. Tears welled up in his eyes once again.

“When the people of the Golden Crow Tribe breached the barrier, my father and mother knew that the realm lord mansion was not safe. My mother entrusted me with this jade moon pendant and insisted I keep it close, never to lose it. She urged me to pa.s.s it on to Grandpa and Aunt. My mother also said that this is the hope of the Anling Family, so I must protect this like how I protect my sister and never lose it.”

Anling Yang’s lips trembled slightly as he took the pendant from Yun Shaojun’s hand.

Even in her final moments, Anling Shuang’s greatest concern, aside from her children, was the safety of the Anling Family.

Yun Shaojun added, “This moon pendant serves as a communication token for our branch of the Yun Family, allowing me to contact Zhang, the steward at our branch mansion. Zhang oversees the business dealings between our branch of the Yun Family and Moon Embracing Palace. My father offered generous incentives, persuading Zhang to pa.s.s on news about the talented girls from the Anling Family to Moon Embracing Palace.”

“Dad said that Steward Zhang once swore an oath with his fundamental essence to help us. Even if they face adversity, he’ll make sure the message reaches the Moon Embracing Palace. Grandpa, can this moon pendant truly save the Anling Family and Anan?”

Anling Yang nodded vigorously, gripping Yun Shaojun’s hand. “Yes, it will, it must! Grandpa will notify Steward Zhang right away.”

The moon pendant s.h.i.+mmered brightly, indicating that the signal had been sent to Steward Zhang. He would soon fulfill his promise and contact the Moon Embracing Palace.

Anling Yang knew that Moon Embracing Palace had been tirelessly searching for candidates to become the saintess in recent years, reaching almost desperate measures.

They would definitely come to her if they knew about Anling Yan’s qualifications. That way, the Anling Family would be saved.

But… Anling Yang’s eyes fell on the face of the granddaughter beside him, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Was becoming a saintess really a good way out?

Why did she suddenly run away that year? Why did she get pregnant and die in childbirth?

What would happen to Anling Yan if she was really selected by Moon Embracing Palace?

Anling Yang shook his head. No matter what, this is the only way out for the Anling Family. Even if Yan had to be sacrificed, we were left with no choice!

…

Moon Embracing Palace.

On the towering altar, a woman dressed in resplendent golden-red ceremonial attire danced with abandon.

Below the altar, sixteen maids formed a circle around the woman, like stars surrounding the moon, guarding her as they murmured and chanted the ritual incantations.

As time ticked away, the flames on the altar burned steadily, neither too hot nor too cold.
