I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 538

In an eerie, dark mountain forest wrapped in a blanket of swamp gas, Shen Lan walked alone, terrified.

It seemed that there was not a living soul around.

As she walked out of the forest, the path in front of her became bright and clear.

In her line of sight was a stream. Water flowed through it, filling the air with a clear burbling sound. Beside it, stood a woman in a white shirt.

Anyone would have been afraid to see such a woman, especially in this situation.

Shen Lan looked at the woman who had her back to her and asked softly, “Who are you?”

“Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman wept.

“Who can save you?” Shen Lan asked.

“Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman cried again.

Then, the woman slowly turned around.

Shen Lan widened her eyes at the scene before her.

The woman’s face was pale with fresh blood gushing out of her eyes.

“Ah!” Shen Lan screamed in horror.

“What’s the matter, Shen Lan?” Chen Hao’s concerned voice rang beside her.

At the sound of Chen Hao's voice, Shen Lan started to calm down.

Her heart was still pounding when she leaped into Chen Hao’s arms.

Chen Hao asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yes, a horrible one,” Shen Lan said flurriedly, “I dreamt that I was alone in a dark forest and then I saw a woman whose face was covered in blood. She told me to send someone to save her!”

Chen Hao shook his head and said, “Perhaps there’s too much going on recently. You’re probably just exhausted. There is still some time left before the sun comes out, so why don't you lay back down and rest? I’ll be by your side. Everything will be alright.”

“I can’t fall asleep. Ever since I saw that nameless totem, I have this uncomfortable feeling deep down as if something bad is going to happen. Now that I think of it, that woman’s silhouette looked very familiar!” Shen Lan recalled.

“Familiar?”

“Yes, I told you before that I saw a stone figure resembling a woman on the nameless totem. Her spine was broken and she was sprawling on the floor. That stone figure looked really similar to that woman I saw in my dream!” Shen Lan said with a flushed face.

“Don’t worry. Perhaps you were just spooked out by the nameless totem. It’s normal. Just rest for some more!” Chen Hao coaxed.

Under Chen Hao's persuasion, Shen Lan finally went to bed.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao didn’t take this matter to heart.

In the morning, the two got up and dressed themselves.

Just then, a servant came over and said, “Young Master, the Master has ordered for everyone in the family to observe the Sun Totem again this morning. The Young Mistress has to attend as well.”

Chen Hao nodded and replied, “Okay.”

Indeed, Grandpa valued the Sun Totem greatly. Since yesterday, he had ordered everyone in the family to observe it.

After all, the abilities of a person was limited. If more came to observe it, the possibility of discovering its secrets would be higher.

Chen Hao understood that his grandfather was worried about the curse of the Sun Totem, and that the Chen family would meet its doom. Therefore,he constantly made preparations for it.

In the early hours of the morning, the Chen Family gathered in a large chamber.

Chen Hao and Shen Lan entered the chamber as well.

It was a complete silence in the chamber. Everyone, including a three-year-old child, was silently observing the Sun Totem.

Chen Hao’s grandfather and the others had long arrived and were observing it intently.

At that moment, Chen Hao pulled Shen Lan along with him and sat aside.

“Shen Lan, this is our Chen Family’s heirloom—the Sun Totem. If grandpa allows you to come see it, then you should take a good look at it,” Chen Hao whispered.

“Okay!”

Shen Lan nodded vigorously.

Frankly speaking, the figures on the Sun Totem were abstract and it was hard to make heads or tails out of them.

Meanwhile, Shen Lan’s mind was wandering elsewhere.

Up until recently, she began to realize that Chen Hao was slowly accepting her, which she saw as a good sign.

As for the rest, it didn’t matter to Shen Lan anymore.
