As the longsword trembled more violently, Ye Zhiqiu's heart grew increasingly tense. After a few breaths, the longsword abruptly ceased its shaking, and a red flower, lacking any physical form, appeared above it.
The moment the red flower appeared, Ye Zhiqiu felt his heart rate suddenly quicken again.
“Brother Qiu, this isn't a dream, is it? My soul hasn't dissipated. ”
The female demon's voice resonated within the room. Hearing that incredibly familiar voice from his memories, Ye Zhiqiu's body involuntarily trembled.
“Red Lotus. . . ” Ye Zhiqiu didn't answer the female demon's question, for it didn't need answering. He was utterly entranced, softly murmuring the female demon's name, not even noticing that the cigarette in his hand was nearly burnt out.
As his body trembled, the cigarette between Ye Zhiqiu's two fingers also shook. A wavering column of ash, still clinging, finally broke off from the burning tip and detached under Ye Zhiqiu's soft calls.
Yang Haoran took a drag from his cigarette, then flicked the butt into the empty beer can in front of Ye Zhiqiu.
Yang Haoran’s voice pulled them both back to reality.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Yang Haoran, hesitating to speak, while the female demon’s voice echoed in the room once more.
“That my soul could be preserved must be thanks to this Lord Underworld Agent. Red Lotus will forever engrave this kindness in her heart, never forgetting your great benevolence for all eternity. ”
Yang Haoran smiled and said, “You don’t need to thank me. I merely get things done for money. ”
He paused, then Yang Haoran continued, “From your current state, your Soul Body’s awakening is completely normal. No accidents have occurred, nor are there any negative repercussions. That sets my mind at ease. Next, I’ll help you one more time. ”
As his words fell, Yang Haoran snapped his fingers, and a surge of Spirit Power suddenly enveloped the female demon’s Soul Body.
This sight made Ye Zhiqiu, standing nearby, turn pale with shock.
“What do you intend to do? ”
Yang Haoran gently waved his hand, signaling Ye Zhiqiu not to get agitated.
“Calm down. If I wanted to harm her, would I have waited until now? Doesn’t that make sense? ” Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Ye Zhiqiu furrowed his brow, realizing it indeed made sense. His complexion improved slightly, but his eyes still betrayed an unconcealable worry.
Worry can cloud judgment, and Yang Haoran understood Ye Zhiqiu's reaction, so he didn't take Ye Zhiqiu's attitude to heart.
Without further explanation, Yang Haoran’s gaze rested on the female demon’s Soul Body, now shrouded in Spirit Power, quietly waiting for something.
Although Ye Zhiqiu was anxious, he didn’t press Yang Haoran further about what was happening, instead turning his gaze towards the female demon enveloped in Spirit Power.
Under his watchful gaze, the female demon’s Soul Body slowly began to change, twisting and deforming.
This sight intensified the worry in Ye Zhiqiu’s heart. He tried to forcibly suppress his anxiety, but this approach not only failed to achieve the desired effect but made his inner turmoil even stronger.
Watching the female demon’s Soul Body deform more and more severely, Ye Zhiqiu truly couldn’t suppress his internal dread any longer. He wanted to question Yang Haoran for an explanation, yet at that very moment, a pair of indistinct feet suddenly materialized above the longsword.
Several streams of Spirit Power swiftly rotated around the feet. As the Spirit Power rapidly spun, the blurry feet became clear.
After the feet came the calves, then the thighs. In just a brief moment, the female demon’s Soul Body underwent a tremendous transformation, no longer appearing as a red flower, but taking on the appearance she had before her death.
The Spirit Power entwining the female demon’s body dissipated, and her form clearly appeared before both men. She was dressed in the clothes she wore before her death, still as beautiful as she had been.
Under normal circumstances, when a demon dies, their demon soul transforms into the form of their original body. For example, a flower demon’s soul after death would be a flower, and if it were a stone, its demon soul would be a stone.
However, the female demon’s Soul Body underwent such a change because Yang Haoran employed a special technique, altering her demon soul into the appearance she had before her death.
This alteration merely changed the female demon’s Soul Body form; it couldn’t change the essence of her soul. Her soul remained a demon soul, and no fundamental change occurred due to this alteration.
The reason Yang Haoran expended his Spirit Power to cause such a significant change to the female demon’s Soul Body was naturally out of consideration for both Ye Zhiqiu and the female demon. In his view, it might be better for the female demon to resume her pre-death appearance when interacting with Ye Zhiqiu.
Watching the female demon’s Soul Body revert to her pre-death appearance, and gazing upon that face that felt both familiar and alien, Ye Zhiqiu felt his heart almost stop for a moment.
As for the female demon, upon discovering the change in her Soul Body, a happy smile blossomed on her face. Perhaps, in her eyes, facing her husband in this form was the most ideal, the most beautiful.
“You have long lives ahead of you. Don’t make it seem like a farewell before death. Take your time to talk; I won’t disturb you any longer. ”
Yang Haoran spoke with a smile. After his words fell, he didn’t linger as a third wheel, turning instead towards the door.
“Thank you. ”
Ye Zhiqiu’s voice of gratitude came from behind him. Yang Haoran waved his hand, not stopping, not looking back.
After Yang Haoran left, Ye Zhiqiu and the female demon maintained a period of silence, for neither knew what to say or how to begin.
Eventually, Ye Zhiqiu broke the silence. As he began to speak, the two gradually started conversing, and their conversation flowed more and more freely.
From the female demon’s mouth, Ye Zhiqiu finally understood exactly what had happened all those years ago.
According to the female demon, when she first entered human society, she didn’t understand many things and often acted without sufficient forethought. The most significant mistake she made was not habitually sealing her own Demon Qi and power, because she felt it was unnecessary.
Precisely because of this, the Demon Qi emanating from her body attracted other demons. That demon, at the time, wanted to devour her to increase its own strength. To avoid affecting Ye Zhiqiu’s parents, she decided to lure the demon away.
However, Ye Zhiqiu’s parents were ultimately devoured by the other demon. Although she initiated a timely rescue, she only managed to retrieve some mangled limbs.
She was furious at the time, attacking the other demon like a madwoman. Its strength was not much different from hers, and under her desperate, fierce assault, it felt that defeating her would not be easy, thus deciding to retreat. However, she pursued relentlessly, eventually engaging in a massive battle deep within a large mountain range for several hours, successfully slaying the demon at the cost of severe injuries.
At that time, she had thought about returning, but she dared not. Her home was destroyed, and his parents had died tragically at the hands of a demon, and this disaster had been brought by her. She felt she had no face to meet her husband, Ye Zhiqiu, so in the end, she chose to flee, dragging her severely injured body away with tears in her eyes.
She actually desperately wanted to return then, but she didn’t know how to explain herself. Humans and demons were different; if she told Ye Zhiqiu she was a demon, he surely wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Furthermore, his parents’ tragic deaths were entirely caused by her. She felt that Ye Zhiqiu would absolutely never forgive her, and even if he did, she couldn’t forgive herself, which was why she had no choice but to escape, leaving Ye Zhiqiu far behind.
Over these many years, her heart had been filled with longing for Ye Zhiqiu. She yearned to return and see him, but she could never overcome that hurdle in her mind. She felt she had no face to see Ye Zhiqiu again.
At the same time, she also feared that if she saw Ye Zhiqiu, she wouldn’t want to leave again, and her heart would be even more unwilling to let go. So, she could only carry her longing and hide far away.
After learning the full story, Ye Zhiqiu remained silent for a long time, while the female demon, during this period, was incredibly anxious. She worried that Ye Zhiqiu still wouldn’t forgive her, even now that she was dead.
However, Ye Zhiqiu ultimately chose to forgive her. After all, while the matter originated from the female demon, she was not the true culprit in his parents’ deaths, nor did she harbor any intent to harm them.
Moreover, when the female demon was with him, she was extremely filial to his parents, and his parents were also very fond of their daughter-in-law. He believed that if his parents could know all this, they would absolutely choose to forgive her too.
Having received Ye Zhiqiu’s forgiveness, the female demon cried tears of joy. Besides weeping uncontrollably, she couldn’t utter a single word for a long time. Moonlit Night God
