The old man floating above the stone platform regained his vitality after seeing the woman. He moved his body, then flashed to her side.
He gave her a respectful hand-over-heart salute, then slowly knelt before her with both palms facing upward.
No one knew what he was muttering, but judging from his expression, he seemed exceptionally devout.
The woman gestured with her hand, and the old man respectfully removed the Jade Pendant from around his neck and handed it to her.
The woman accepted the Jade Pendant and naturally put it around her own neck.
At once, a radiance seemed to shine around the woman, the lights complementing each other.
Everyone present was drawn to that light. It was truly beautiful!
Of course, the series of actions between the old man and the woman also made everyone feel as though this was unreal. These were ancient people from over a thousand years ago, yet they were standing alive before them one by one. How could everyone not feel that it was surreal?
Moreover, the woman's appearance had been incredibly bloody. No one could have known that this woman was hidden inside one of those beauty heads.
And only now did everyone notice that the woman before them seemed to look exactly like the beauty head. It was as if the beauty head was an enlarged version of her face. What exactly was going on?
The old man stood behind the woman like an attendant. He no longer kept his eyes closed, instead staring at everyone with his blood red eyes.
This old man was clearly a king, yet he was willing to stand there as nothing more than an attendant. That showed that the woman's status was anything but ordinary, though there was no way to determine it clearly.
"Hmm?!"
