Chapter 526: Wish
"The little master's mother is back, and she's also crying and making a fuss to see her mother. Why doesn't Your Majesty allow the noble female to see her child?" The old man asked the man on the high seat, puzzled.
Sha remained silent, the base thoughts in his heart known only to himself.
Sang Luo had been very dependent on him these days... her heart and eyes were full of him, following him closely, and letting him do as he pleased, her soft and fragrant presence intoxicating and hard to wake from.
Sha liked Sang Luo's current total reliance on him and selfishly wanted to maintain the status quo.
He was afraid that Sang Luo would remember her past memories when she saw the child.
"Madam, you've arrived." A servant's respectful voice came from outside the hall.
Sha's eyes changed slightly, and then he put on a gentle smile, taking the initiative to walk down to greet her, "Luo Luo, it's so late, why aren't you resting well in the hall?"
Sang Luo took a few steps back, keeping her distance from him, and said coldly, "Thank you for King Rakshasa's concern. I've been bothering you these days."
Sha saw the indifference in her eyes, his palm lingering in the air before slowly retracting.
She had regained her memory.
Sha had thought this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"So, you're here today to say goodbye to me."
"The transaction between you and me is complete. I gave you a child and lost two lives in the process. Thank you, King Rakshasa, for saving me out of consideration for this relationship. We owe each other nothing." Sang Luo smiled gently, "I've been in the Ghost Domain for so many days, my beastman husband and children must miss me very much."
"What about our child?" Sha's face darkened, "Haven't you always wanted to see the child?"
"When I conceived this child, I said that the offspring would belong to you. She and I... only have a mother-child relationship in terms of kinship. If we can avoid meeting, then let's not meet. Your Majesty, please consider this child's mother dead."
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, as if brewing a storm, his aura dangerous and deep, but he said nothing, just looked at her coldly.
Sang Luo felt a chill in her heart from his gaze, but she thought she hadn't said anything wrong. After all, that's what the two of them agreed upon back then, to clear things up after giving birth.
She tentatively asked, "Um, I wonder if King Rakshasa still remembers the wish you promised me?"
"...Since I promised, I swore by heaven and earth, so speak without hesitation." He softened his tone.
"I hope Your Majesty will release the souls of the divine beasts imprisoned under the Black Tower and let them return to the Beast World."
"The Black Tower has been destroyed, the seal has been lifted, and those divine beast souls can't be confined. They have already left the Ghost Domain and entered a new round of reincarnation. Perhaps in a few tens of thousands of years, the God Domain will usher in a new life."
Sang Luo was relieved to hear him say this. Yan's mission was to revive the God Domain. If the divine beast souls were still imprisoned in the Beast World, he might continue to take risks. This could be considered a satisfactory ending.
Sha added, "This doesn't count as a wish. You can make another new wish."
Sang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Then I hope that the Ghost Domain... at least the Ghost Domain during Your Majesty's reign, can close the one-way passage from the Ghost Domain to the Beast World and no longer plunder the energy resources of the God Domain."
The Ghost Domain had a way to do it the first time, and they would definitely have a way to do it a second time. She knew that there was no way in the world to achieve lasting peace, but at least during King Rakshasa's reign, she hoped that the Ghost Domain would never come up with the idea of attacking the Beast World.
Sha looked at her deeply, "You only have this one chance to make a wish, have you thought it through?"
How many people would dream of getting a promise from the Lord of the Ghost Domain, wealth, eternal life, or other heaven-defying fates, but she didn't want any of them, wasting the precious wish opportunity on irrelevant external things.
"I've thought it through." Sang Luo knew what Sha was thinking and smiled slightly, "I'm just an ordinary human. No matter how big my wish is, it's as small as dust in Your Majesty's eyes. Instead of wasting such a precious promise on myself, it's better to use it to seek greater benefits."
"For me now, my greatest wish is to live a good life with my partner and children, and to protect my children as they grow up healthy and happy. Only when the Beast World is safe can this small wish naturally be realized."
She was very clever, ostensibly sacrificing herself to fulfill the righteousness of all beings, but in reality, she had grasped the greatest benefit.
A trace of complexity flashed in Sha's eyes, "I never intended to invade the Beast World in the first place, but I can promise you that during my reign, the Ghost Realm will never interfere with the Beast World... You, think again, is there any other wish?"
Sang Luo raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Is it me making a wish to Your Majesty, or is Your Majesty wanting to make a wish to me?"
Sha's eyes fell straight on her face, and he stepped forward, not concealing his desire, "The Ghost Clan has no precedent for a foreign Ghost Queen, but you gave birth to my own offspring and are qualified to rule the Ghost Domain with me."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but no, thank you." Sha raised his hand to caress her face, but Sang Luo stepped back to avoid him, her voice slightly cold,
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself. If you really want to fulfill one of my wishes, then please return Lan Cang."
Sha's heart ached.
He knew it all too well.
Sang Luo would sometimes stare blankly at him, and when she was moved, she would also show him a trace of tenderness.
But she didn't love him.
She had no love for him at all.
Everything she compromised with him was only because of that soul fragment.
She was able to conceive his child because of that wolf beast.
"Do you love him so much?"
"He is my beastman husband."
Sha's face turned ashen. His pride did not allow him to ask that self-deprecating question. His thin lips were tightly pursed. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "If I strip away that soul fragment, will you... will you still remember me?"
Sang Luo paused and replied seriously,
"I will remember."
"Okay." Sha's right hand turned into a black claw and pierced his heart, dripping with blood, stripping out a gray soul fragment.
Sang Luo instantly held her breath, her heart beating violently!
The long-lost familiar aura made her eyes turn red and she couldn't help but want to cry.
It was Lan Cang!
"I gave him 10% of my power, and he will live as long as my main body." Sha looked at Sang Luo, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Thank you, King Rakshasa!"
Sang Luo carefully put the soul fragment into her space. This time, it was from the bottom of her heart that she solemnly thanked him.
Sha's face was a little pale, and his voice was even colder and more indifferent, "After the soul fragment returns to the main body, the past reincarnation memories and obsessions will dissipate, either being completely discarded or integrated into a trace of the main body's past thoughts. However, your wolf beast husband is the last life of this soul fragment, and his lifespan has not yet been exhausted, so he does not need to be reincarnated and can re-enter the world to continue the relationship."
His eyes swept across Sang Luo's face, and he smiled wryly, "He is very special, and I didn't erase his memory."
"But I can't guarantee whether he will still have all the memories of you after he is reborn."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, that's enough."
Sha suddenly stepped forward and hugged Sang Luo tightly, lowering his head and kissing her red lips.
"Luo Luo, I love you."
...Speaking of which, you might not believe it, but my right hand was accidentally cut by broken glass at the handle of a broken fruit can, and I bled. I'll write as much as I can these two days.
