Chapter 1420: Chapter 1420: I Won’t Die Either

Then she glanced at Ling’er and raised her hand, pointing at herself, looking in Lin Caisang’s direction, hoping to glean something from her expression.

Lin Caisang: "..."

She inexplicably returned Madam Chen an innocent look and shrugged her shoulders.

Madam Chen, it wasn’t me who said you weren’t dead yet, it was your maid Ling’er, okay? Why are you looking at me like this, what’s going on?

"The corpse nurturing herb does have another use, it can preserve the body of someone on the brink of death. If aided by a Ghost Clan elixir, it is capable of keeping a dying person’s last breath alive,"

she said, curling her lips.

"Ghost Clan elixir, what is that?" Madam Chen asked.

She had never heard of the Ghost Clan elixir, and of course, as a member of the Human Clan, she had always been ignorant of the Ghost Clan. It was natural for her to be unfamiliar with many things.

Sui Zimo also looked at Lin Caisang with a puzzled expression; he knew that the Ghost Clan elixir mentioned by his Caisang was certainly not an ordinary thing.

"The so-called Ghost Clan elixir is an inner elixir cultivated by a member of the Ghost Clan using their body," Lin Caisang explained.

Her gaze shifted to Ling’er, and she couldn’t help but admire her. For the favor of a meal, this Ling’er was actually willing to risk her life for Madam Chen; truly a demonstration of profound loyalty and integrity.

"Simply put, it’s like how clams create pearls—you’ve all seen pearls before, haven’t you? However, unlike clams, a member of the Ghost Clan can only condense a single inner elixir in their lifetime.

And if this inner elixir was to leave their body, that Ghost Clan member would be left with nothing but death."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing her words, Madam Chen inhaled sharply and immediately turned her gaze toward Ling’er.

"Ling’er, you..."

"Madam need not worry," Ling’er simply replied with a faint smile.

Turning to look at Lin Caisang, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened even more.

"Miss Lin, what you’re saying really is a bit too much. Even without the inner elixir, I won’t die; it’s just that I’ll at most..."

"At most become a common member of the Ghost Clan?"

Lin Caisang interjected, finishing her thought. It seemed that Ling’er truly was a distinguished figure from the Ghost Clan; she could still survive even without her inner elixir.

Of course, she also remembered that Ling’er’s inner elixir had been inside Madam Chen for over two years now and she was still alive and well.

But how could such a person come to be abandoned?

This was indeed puzzling.

"Yes,"

Ling’er lowered her head, responding softly.

But soon, she raised her head to look at Madam Chen again.

"Madam, I was already abandoned by my clan. Now that I am living among the Human Clan, having or not having the inner elixir makes no real difference to me. Leaving it with you ensures your safety, allowing you to watch the two young masters grow up, isn’t that wonderful?"

She said, looking at Madam Chen.

"It seems that what Grand Old Master Chen wanted was the inner elixir inside Madam Chen," Sui Zimo said aloud.

"Yes."

Ling’er, being the one privy to this knowledge, naturally wouldn’t deny it.

"I was originally unaware, and I could never understand why Old Master Chen had changed so much, beating Madam Chen frantically as if he had gone mad, until he beat her to her last breath...

Only after I used my inner elixir to save Madam Chen’s life did I understand his motive was to get his hands on my inner elixir!"

She clenched her teeth, wishing she could just kill Grand Old Master Chen!
