Chapter 999: You Have to Help Undo the Seal

Mo Qian'er was baffled. Why was she being called ungrateful?

It was her parents who set up the contract. Now, the time had come for her to rescind it; this was very normal.

How was she ungrateful?

"What are you talking about? Why did he lose his life to help put the seal on me? Does his illness when he was young have something to do with me?" Mo Qian'er frowned. What was going on?

"Princess, there is karma for everything in this world. Back then, the Dragon King asked my master to seal away the last hope of the dragon race for your sake. My master did his best to do so, but he died soon after. Before he left, he even left you in the crown prince's residence. In order to be reincarnated into this family, he put in a lot of effort. He was born with an extraordinary body. The emperor of Heavenly Wind Empire thought it was bad luck, and tossed him into a wolf's den; he crawled out after so much suffering, and returned to give you spiritual power so that you can grow up normally.

"That's right, my master isn't nice to you. He's high and mighty and has an excellent bloodline, and you're just a slave. How good do you think a real master should be to a slave? Everything he did to you is karma. No matter how bad he is to you, he's still your master. You have to let him know if you want to leave."

Mo Qian'er's eyes widened. "Didn't you say that he doesn't know who I am?"

"He doesn't know, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it. He set up some things in his previous life. Do you know that you stayed in his residence as a three-year-old for a hundred years?"

"Ah..."

"After my master returned, he saved you from the cold lake and gave you spiritual power before you started to grow normally. Don't you find it strange that you don't have any memories before that?"

Thinking about it, Mo Qian'er indeed didn't have any other memories from when she was a child. She only knew that she had been a slave in the palace since she was young.

As for who brought her and how she had grown up for the first three years of her life, she had no memory of this.

Her memories started with Lu Fenying saving her from the cold lake. So, Lu Fenying had hidden her in the cold lake?

So, she really owed Lu Fenying a favor. That was why she had no regrets when he bullied her, and she gave her heart to him.

However... if she told Lu Fenying, he definitely wouldn't let her go.

"You know that I'm a princess of the dragon race, but your master doesn't. He'll never let me go."

The shadow laughed gloomily. "You have the contract. What are you scared of? If my master would rather destroy the contract than let you go, there is even less reason for me to undo the seal behind his back."

Mo Qian'er held the contract. Right, she had an ancient contract.

Her master had said that with this, Lu Fenying would never dare not let her go.

Even if he didn't let her go, he wouldn't have time to care about her when the Heavenly Tribulation descended.

Mo Qian'er felt that the slave mark flute was right about one thing: There was karma in everything, and they had to sort out the karma so that all accounts were settled.

She took the contract away from the slave mark flute and raised her head, only to see Lu Fenying leaning against the door and looking at her with a piercing gaze.

How long had he been here? How much had he seen?

Holding the contract in one hand and the slave mark flute in the other, Mo Qian'er looked at him. "Your Majesty, I want to undo the slave mark."

Lu Fenying stared at her expressionlessly.

The courage which had just surged up in Mo Qian'er's heart faltered a little, but she still said, "Your Majesty, you have to help me undo the slave mark. This is the contract from back then."
