“Your Highness, please seal her soul from past lives! Please grant her wish! If this continues, she will die! Her soul has been eroded by the river water, and if not purified, it may be devoured someday!”
Shu Nü could actually cry too, and my heart felt both heartache and happiness.
“Shu Nü, Shu Nü, can your claws turn into legs? Shu Nü, Shu Nü, when will you become an immortal?”
“We’ll become immortals in a few days, Shu Nü, Shu Nü. When we reach the divine realm, you must not abandon me.”
Memories were vivid, yet separated by thousands of years. Shu Nü’s character was indeed extremely proud. If I hadn’t lost my memory, I would never have approached those she loved. She might have known that I didn’t initially like the soul-reaper but only got close because the soul was on him. Later, she completely abandoned her hopes.
A clear, crisp energy dispersed from my forehead into my body, and in an instant, my heart became as clear as a mirror, feeling weightless. The hidden pain that had entangled me for a thousand years also vanished like smoke.
My eyes had not yet fully cleared when my hands were already twisted behind my back. Qing Yuan had somehow entered from outside the curse circle and, without waiting for me to speak, forcibly carried me away from the divine altar, dodging waves of pursuing light. The divine soldiers at the heavenly path’s entrance saw us rushing over and shouted to stop, but saw frost covering the sky.
As we exited, I stared directly at him and asked, “Did Mu Chuan make you do this?” Seeing him not answer, I pulled at the corner of my mouth, “I’m angry.”
Immortal qi exploded from my palm, causing him to furrow his brow and immediately retreat.
As I straightened my rumpled clothes, he finally spoke: “The King was right. We must take you back to the ghost realm while your cultivation is not fully recovered.”
I laughed: “Because he knows that in his eyes, I’m an immortal novice, but you cannot control me. Remember, my childhood playmate was a dragon with powerful spiritual power. Ordinary people can’t do anything to me.” Having been suppressed by him for so long, counterattacking now made me feel refreshed. “What do you plan to do now?”
