In fact, when he was in the underground cave on Penglai Island, even though Hideki Shunichi had consumed his life force because of the Imperial Jade Seal, it seemed like he would not be able to live for long.
However, Zhou Hao couldn't leave behind such a disaster. That was why he had given Hideki Shunichi a fatal blow. It had cost him his life.
"Huaixi, when you came back just now, you said that the secret of the Imperial Jade Seal wasn't as we had imagined. "
Nanami Kaoru leaned in Zhou Hao's arms and asked softly, "What exactly is it?"
Zhou Hao sighed deeply. "Didn't we hear earlier that the Imperial Jade Seal contained a mysterious power that could restore one's youth. Yes, this is true. There is indeed such a power hidden in the Imperial Jade Seal. "
"Oh? Is it really that magical?" Nanami Kaoru was curious when she heard that. "But when I wanted to see it just now, why didn't I let me see it?"
Seeing the curious expression on Nanami Kaoru's face, Zhou Hao knew that she wanted to see the Imperial Jade Seal.
He let out a long breath and said, "Older sister, this Imperial Jade Seal, it's best that we don't touch it. Especially since you're pregnant right now, big sister. I can't let that Imperial Jade Seal harm your body. "
Nanami Kaoru was surprised when she heard that. "Huaixi, what is going on? Could it be that the Imperial Jade Seal is some kind of evil creature? "
"That's right. Sister, you are right. Rather than saying that it is a treasure, it should be more accurate to say that it is an evil creature. "
Recalling the changes that happened after Hideki Shunichi absorbed the strange energy in the Imperial Jade Seal, Zhou Hao felt a chill run down his spine. He said to Nanami Kaoru, "Indeed, there is an unknown magical energy in the Imperial Jade Seal.
At that time, Hideki Shunichi was seriously injured. However, after absorbing the energy in the Imperial Jade Seal, the injuries on his body healed in an instant. His martial arts strength had also improved tremendously. It was like. . . It was like. . . "
Zhou Hao originally wanted to say that Hideki Shunichi was like those Biochemical Warriors that had been injected with medicine. However, when this thought emerged in his mind, Zhou Hao was stunned. How could he have the concept of this Biochemical Warrior? He had clearly never seen any Biochemical Warriors before.
"Like what?" Nanami Kaoru asked doubtfully.
Zhou Hao shook his head and threw the distracting thoughts out of his mind. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. After Hideki Shunichi absorbed the energy of the Imperial Jade Seal, he seemed to have become twenty years younger. Even his figure has become bigger. "
"Is it really that amazing?" Nanami Kaoru asked.
Zhou Hao nodded. "Sister, it's not just Hideki Shunichi. The plants and animals on Penglai Island are bigger than normal. When we went to the island, we thought Penglai Island was a secret research base for biochemical experiments.
From the looks of it, the plants and animals on the island are most likely affected by the Imperial Jade Seal, which is why they are so unusual. "
Nanami Kaoru was shocked when she heard this, "The Imperial Jade Seal's strength is so great?"
"The Imperial Jade Seal has been hidden on Penglai Island for thousands of years. The plants and animals on the island have been affected by this for thousands of years. I'm afraid even their genes have been changed.
"But sister, you know what? We once cut open those huge trees and found that each tree has a year ring of no more than 20 years," Zhou Hao said. "
Nanami Kaoru could guess what was going on when she heard Zhou Hao's words. She cried out in surprise. "Could it be that the Imperial Jade Seal. . . "
"That's right, Big Sister. This was also affected by the Imperial Jade Seal. " Zhou Hao said, "After Hideki Shunichi absorbed the energy of the Imperial Jade Seal, his injuries were healed in a blink of an eye, and his strength in the Martial Path was also greatly increased.
However, this condition didn't last for more than an hour, and Hideki Shunichi quickly aged. He turned from forty to fifty years old to seventy to eighty years old. "
"This. . . This is caused by the Imperial Jade Seal?"
Zhou Hao nodded with a solemn expression. "Therefore, I think that the Imperial Jade Seal does indeed possess that kind of mysterious energy.
But this is at the cost of the life force of the recipient. Take those giant trees for example. They originally had a lifespan of over a hundred years, but none of them managed to live past twenty years. This is equivalent to them exhausting a hundred years of their life force in twenty years. "
He gently stroked Nanami Kaoru's protruding abdomen and said, "That's why when you wanted to see the Imperial Jade Seal just now, I didn't let you see it. I was afraid that you would be affected by it.
Besides, My older sister also looks to be in her early twenties now. There's no need to covet that power of rejuvenation. "
After saying that, Zhou Hao hugged Nanami Kaoru and kissed her cheek. When Nanami Kaoru heard Zhou Hao's sweet words, it was as if she had eaten honey in her heart. She lightly pinched his body.
"You only know how to glib your tongue. Oh right, if that Imperial Jade Seal could affect the animals and plants on the island. Then, could it be that its power spread through the radiation? "
"That's possible. That's why I asked you to put it in the basement and keep it carefully, so that it won't be affected by its energy. "
Zhou Hao frowned and said, "But it was hidden so deep in the cave, and it was covered in lead. It still affected the animals and plants outside, which means its radiation is very strong. "
After a while, Zhou Hao said seriously, "So I think we should get rid of this thing as soon as possible. "
"Get rid of it?" Nanami Kaoru frowned slightly and said, "Who do you want to give it to? If it fell into Tokugawa Naomasa's hands, even if the Imperial Jade Seal can only make Tokugawa Naomasa return to his youth in a very short period of time, it would be very disadvantageous to us. "
Speaking of Tokugawa Naomasa, Zhou Hao asked Nanami Kaoru, "By the way, elder sister, you are carrying our child now. We absolutely can't let Tokugawa Naomasa and the people of Tokugawa Family see you. If Tokugawa Naomasa wants to see you. . . "
Zhou Hao knew that Tokugawa Naomasa's possessive desire towards Nanami Kaoru had reached an abnormal level. Even if he couldn't truly possess Nanami Kaoru, he would still need to see her every two or three days.
During this period of time, Nanami Kaoru had repeatedly used the excuse of dealing with the affairs of Shichuan Island's Heavy Industrial and Matsushita to reject meeting Tokugawa Naomasa because she wanted to be with Zhou Hao.
In order to meet Nanami Kaoru, Tokugawa Naomasa even sent someone to invite Nanami Kaoru over, but was chased back by Nanami Kaoru.
Now that Nanami Kaoru was pregnant, it was even more impossible to see Tokugawa Naomasa.
Seeing the serious expression on Nanami Kaoru's face, Zhou Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart and cried out involuntarily: "Big sister, could it be that you. . . "
A charming smile appeared on Nanami Kaoru's face. Two white jade arms wrapped around Zhou Hao's neck.
Her face was pressed against Zhou Hao's chest as she said gently, "Huaixi, if the two of us leave this place and bring the baby along with Shinji, we will start traveling around the world from now on. What do you say?"
Zhou Hao's expression changed and he said, "Sister, are you really going to give up the power of the Tokugawa Family? This is something that you have worked so hard for for so many years to obtain. If you give up just like that, You will have nothing left. "
He could vaguely guess Nanami Kaoru's plan. She probably wanted to give up everything that she had in Tokugawa Family and give birth to Zhou Hao's child.
Nanami Kaoru leaned tightly into Zhou Hao's arms and said with a smile, "Right now, everything is not as important to me as you and our child. Compared to you, everything is more important. The Tokugawa Family is really not worth mentioning. If you don't want it, then don't. As long as Huaixi and the child are by my side, it will be fine. "
" Big sister. . . "Zhou Hao's heart was inexplicably touched, and even his voice sounded a little whimper.
Because he knew very well what kind of effort Nanami Kaoru had put in to obtain the wealth of Tokugawa Family over the years.
In order to achieve this goal, she did not hesitate to marry an old man who was close to a hundred years old who was enough to be her great grandfather. She did not hesitate to be stabbed in the backbone by those people of the Tokugawa Family day and night to scold her as a vixen.
Before meeting Zhou Hao, Nanami Kaoru's goal of survival was simply to seize the wealth of the Tokugawa Family and become the true master of the Tokugawa Family.
But now, for the sake of Zhou Hao, for the sake of her and Zhou Hao's child, she was willing to give up this goal that she had worked so hard for many years. This was equivalent to handing everything to Zhou Hao. How could Zhou Hao not be moved by this?
"But, sister, you also said it before. " Zhou Hao said, "Now, it is not a question of whether we will give up or not, but whether the Tokugawa Family will let us go.
Even if we don't fight for it, those people from the Tokugawa Family won't let us go. Especially Tokugawa Naomasa, he will never let you go. "
Nanami Kaoru said," Then we might as well kill Tokugawa Naomasa and his sons and grandsons. "
Before this, Zhou Hao had suggested killing Tokugawa Naomasa and the direct relatives of Tokugawa Family.
However, Nanami Kaoru was afraid that after the death of Tokugawa Naomasa and his friends, the other people who coveted the Tokugawa Family would attack together and divide the huge cake of the Tokugawa Family.
At that time, Nanami Kaoru, whose strength wasn't stable enough, didn't have enough strength to suppress those people, so she didn't agree with Zhou Hao's suggestion.
But now, since Nanami Kaoru no longer cared about the wealth of Tokugawa Family, she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "No, sister, you would rather sacrifice everything for me. I have to help you achieve your goal for so many years. Besides, even if we want to travel around the world, we still need to pay some travel expenses. "
After saying that, a cruel smile appeared on Zhou Hao's face.
