Immediately following, the woman transformed into a wisp of faint white light, drifting into his palm.
“Come out,” Sha commanded, glancing faintly in one direction.
From behind the rock emerged a somewhat slender figure, overwhelmed by the presence before her, she prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to look directly at the man's尊容, but still cautiously gazed at the ball of white light in his hand, her eyes filled with worry.
“Ancient mythical beast, the Eared Rat,” Sha recognized her true form at a glance.
Xiao Can hurriedly shook her head in denial, “No, no, Your Excellency has mistaken me, I, I am just an ordinary rat beast.”
“Legend has it that the ancient mythical beast, the Eared Rat, can consume anything without discrimination and is immune to all poisons, leading to relentless pursuit and gradual extinction.
In life, you disguised yourself as an ordinary rat beast to survive, but were still discovered by demon hunters, sold to the black market to be eaten alive, and after death, you became a vengeful spirit, killing thousands before being imprisoned on the third level of the Black Tower.
The last time the fox and the demon snake broke through the Black Tower, you seized the opportunity to escape, but your soul was branded with the tower's mark, preventing you from leaving this place.”
With just a few words, Sha revealed her entire life story.
Xiao Can's face turned pale, her body trembling with fear.
During her days as a vengeful spirit, her mind was consumed by the desire for revenge, leading her to kill many enemies, but she was also aware that many innocent people were implicated in her killings, which was why she was treated as a vicious beast and imprisoned in the Black Tower…
Was this Honored King planning to eradicate her completely?
Her sins were unforgivable, and she deserved to be reduced to ashes.
Sha lowered his head, glanced at the faintly flickering white soul light in his palm, and absorbed it into his body, “The seal is broken, you can leave.”
Xiao Can had not yet regained her senses when she suddenly heard a thunderous roar beside her.
The towering Black Tower, which had existed for who knows how many years, actually collapsed!
Countless souls escaped from the Black Tower, large and small, of various colors, streaking across the vast night sky like a meteor shower, emitting dazzling light, strangely beautiful and heart-palpitating!
Xiao Can's mind raced, how could she not understand the relationship between the beautiful woman and the man?
Overjoyed, she kowtowed in gratitude and transformed into a beam of light, leaving this world forever.
Completely liberated!
Flying towards the true place of reincarnation, to embrace a new life.
… …
The heavenly lightning had long since dissipated, and the Ghost Realm had returned to peace.
The destroyed Rakshasa Palace had also been restored to its original state, as if the catastrophe had never happened.
“Your Majesty, the young master is hungry again,” an old man in a gray robe hurried forward, carrying a swaddled infant.
The newborn child's skin was still wrinkled, with a strange bluish-purple hue.
After a few days, the skin became fair and rosy, with a cute, upturned little nose, rosy little mouth, chubby little arms and legs, a truly adorable porcelain doll.
Two round little horns adorned her forehead, and her round, big eyes opened, with curled, thick eyelashes, a cyan left eye, and a red right eye, as brilliant and dazzling as gemstones, capable of easily absorbing one's soul, curiously gazing at the tall and handsome man in black robes before her.
Sha silently looked at his daughter, raising his hand to gently touch her face, warm and soft, more like human skin flowing with living blood than that of the Ghost race…
The baby seemed to be tickled, giggling, revealing sweet dimples, fluttering her big gem-like eyes, simply adorable, melting hearts.
Ever since this child was born, the Honored King's attitude towards her was far calmer than imagined.
The old man in gray robe was originally a little uneasy, but now, seeing the first interaction between the father and daughter, he was finally relieved.
He smiled kindly, “Babies remember their parents first thing after they are born.
Your Majesty, please spend more time with the young master, she has been crying these past few days, but she smiled when she saw Your Majesty!”
“Da ~ Da ~”
The baby suddenly pouted her little mouth aggrievedly, on the verge of tears.
Sha hurriedly took the child into his arms, and she stopped crying, nestled in his arms, resting against his heart, and fell asleep before long.
“Infants are most attached to their parents, especially the mother's scent.
The young master lost her mother at birth, although she is still young and doesn't understand, she will instinctively reject the scent of outsiders like us, that's why she has been crying incessantly, not eating well, always spitting up after eating… alas!”
“She is different from ordinary Ghost race members, she can directly absorb energy for sustenance,” Sha returned and planned to take the child to his side to raise himself.
He took out a gray-purple beast core, exuding a terrifying and profound ghostly aura.
The old man almost couldn't bear it and prostrated himself on the ground, This… could it be…
He thought of the commotion that had occurred in the Purgatory Land.
No one knew exactly what happened, but to cause that level of destruction, it must have been! The Honored King fought with that ancient ghostly beast!
This beast core wouldn't be… The old man was drenched in cold sweat, not daring to say more, secretly sighing that the Honored King was truly willing to go to great lengths for his offspring!
The baby smelled the delicious scent and woke up again.
She stretched out her snow-white, lotus-root-like little hands, curiously grabbed the ghost core, looked left and right, and “Awoo ~” opened her mouth and swallowed it.
An entire ancient ghostly beast's demon core was swallowed in one gulp by this child.
“……” Sha also revealed a surprised expression.
Even if he were to personally refine this ancient ghostly beast's demon core, it would take a considerable amount of time.
He originally planned to refine it first and then gradually feed it to the child, but he didn't expect her to be greedy and swallow it in one bite.
However, seeing that her body showed no discomfort, and the power of the beast core was slowly being transformed by her, her body also entered a long period of dormancy, and it was unknown when she would wake up.
“Take this child to the Blood Pool, and tell me when she wakes up.”
“As you command.”
The old man took the child, respectfully bowed, and then retreated.
Sha went to the sleeping palace.
The original bed had been replaced by an ice coffin, and a peerless beauty with black hair and snow-white skin lay in the coffin, seemingly asleep.
Sha walked to the coffin and stroked her face.
After undergoing Nirvana rebirth, the woman's appearance was even more enchanting and radiant, but unfortunately, her soul was damaged, and she lost a portion of her memories after drifting to the Purgatory Land.
He took out the wisp of faint light from his heart.
The soul orb flew from his palm and returned to the body the moment it encountered its true form, but the beauty in the ice coffin still showed no signs of awakening…
Sadness flashed in Sha's cyan eyes.
He supported the side of the coffin with his left hand, and a sharp blade materialized in his right palm, heavily piercing his heart.
Pale red blood dripped onto the woman's body along with his hand and the blade, like clusters of vibrant Lycoris radiata blooming on a pure white snowy field, then slowly disappearing and merging into her flesh.
A bizarre and magnificent cyan beast mark condensed on her forehead.
Sha lowered his head and kissed the mark, chanting an ancient and obscure incantation.
“I vow to guard you, for all eternity, as long as heaven and earth endure…”
“Luo Luo.”
“Don't make me wait too long.”
The ice coffin closed again, the two figures sleeping in their clothes.
