Ah Yin's Memories

After all the golden motes had been completely absorbed by the Blue Silver Emperor, Cao Yan's eyes brightened slightly.

At this moment, he could even sense the joyful aura emanating from the Blue Silver Emperor. All these signs indicated that Ah Yin's revival was within reach.

Gently stroking the Blue Silver Emperor's stems and leaves, which glimmered with a faint golden sheen, Cao Yan could not resist bringing its delicate, tender leaves and branches to his nose, lightly inhaling Ah Yin's uniquely elegant fragrance. It immediately left him intoxicated, as though he were floating in ecstasy, unable to stop himself.

In the original story, Ah Yin had sacrificed her life to save Tang Hao, only for that treacherous villain Tang Hao to reap the benefits in the end. Ultimately, Ah Yin had simply been too naive.

Now that Tang Hao was dead, once he revived Ah Yin, her body would be completely renewed. Though this would leave Ah Yin with some lingering memories of Tang Hao in her heart, Cao Yan did not consider that a big deal.

Because from now on, Ah Yin would belong to him alone.

Suddenly, the Blue Silver Emperor's stems and leaves began to Entangle themselves around Cao Yan's arm, though the movement carried a hint of urging. Ah Yin must have sensed the life force within the 100,000-Year Soul Ring. It was clear that she had suffered greatly while waiting for this day.

However, from this day onward, Ah Yin would be reborn!

Cao Yan smiled faintly. Then, extending his hand, he gently brushed the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around his arm down, as though afraid of hurting her. After all, the Blue Silver Emperor before him was Ah Yin's true body, and he did not dare let down his guard in the slightest.

Gazing at the Blue Silver Emperor before him, Cao Yan softly drew in a breath, delight rising in his eyes.

Compared with before, the Blue Silver Emperor's color had undoubtedly become far more vivid and radiant. Not only that, but its stems, leaves, and branches had grown much straighter, while the golden patterns on its leaves had become fuller as well. Ah Yin's figure in life must not have been bad either.

"Ah Yin, don't rush. I'll revive you soon," Cao Yan said calmly. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the 100,000-Year Soul Ring on his palm floated directly toward the Blue Silver Emperor. At last, the Soul Ring settled quietly around its branches, slowly rotating.

A steady stream of soft red light radiated from the Soul Ring, merging into the Blue Silver Emperor's true body. This signified that Ah Yin's life force was gradually recovering.

Whenever the Blue Silver Emperor drew a strand of soft red light into itself, the color of the Soul Ring faded a little. It seemed that once Ah Yin had completely absorbed the Soul Ring's energy, she would be able to revive successfully.

Cao Yan sat cross-legged, lightly propping his chin on both hands as he quietly awaited Ah Yin's appearance. His body was rather slender and somewhat thin, yet exceptionally upright. Sitting there, he resembled an old monk in meditation, as though possessed of an unfathomable composure.

About half an hour later, the red glow on the 100,000-Year Soul Ring finally dispersed completely, vanishing into nothingness.

At the same time, the Blue Silver Emperor's surface was gradually enveloped in a layer of golden light, which eventually formed a golden halo. Within that halo, a graceful silhouette could vaguely be seen standing serenely.

At this sight, Cao Yan seemed to have been struck by lightning. His body sprang up almost instantly, and his eyes stared unblinkingly at the figure within the golden curtain of light. Even his breathing began to quicken slightly.

After roughly two breaths, the golden light finally faded away completely, revealing a stunning figure.

The woman before him wore a blue long dress embroidered with gold. Her smooth blue hair flowed all the way down past her shapely hips, barely concealing their full curve. A pale blue ribbon was tied around her willow-like waist, which was so slender and supple that it seemed boneless, delicate enough to be held in one hand. She possessed an untouchable kind of beauty, and in that moment, even the air seemed to freeze.

Her jade-like fair hands rested lightly against her chest, while her deep azure eyes held a trace of profundity. Her soft, delicate bearing resembled that of a maiden newly awakened to love, carrying a touch of innocence and charm. The faint smile on her lips further enhanced her purity. Her pearly white teeth gently bit her thin lip, and a light flush appeared upon her crystal-clear cheeks, lending her a hint of shy allure.

Though he had long been mentally prepared, the moment he saw Ah Yin's true appearance, even Cao Yan's composure faltered slightly.

Ah Yin before him was simply too beautiful!

A faint, secluded fragrance drifted through the air on the breeze, soothing the heart, captivating the soul, and stirring the spirit.

Breathing in that delicate feminine scent, Cao Yan felt his mind grow hazy. Whenever his gaze drifted toward her seductive, water-snake-like waist, he wanted nothing more than to tear apart the blue ribbon binding Ah Yin's delicate body and savor the beauty beneath that long dress.

Though he was only six years old, that did not mean he was incapable.

"May I ask... were you the one who saved me?" Ah Yin seemed unable to bear Cao Yan's scorching gaze as he looked her over so brazenly, and finally spoke slowly.

"Cough, cough."

Cao Yan came back to his senses somewhat. He forcibly suppressed the wicked flame in his lower abdomen, then did his best to reveal a harmless smile. In a soft voice, he said, "You are Ah Yin, right? I was entrusted by someone to revive you."

Cao Yan quietly watched Ah Yin's reaction. He clearly saw that when he spoke those words, Ah Yin's body visibly trembled.

In truth, Ah Yin understood it clearly as well. From the moment Cao Yan had transferred the energy from the Soul Bone and Soul Ring into her body, an uneasy thought had already arisen within her.

Could it be that Ah Hao was already gone?

"Did Ah Hao ask you to save me? He... what happened to him? Could it be that he has been killed?" Ah Yin's voice trembled. Though she had been granted new life, she could not feel happy in the slightest.

She knew what her revival meant. It meant that her Ah Hao might already be... gone...

"Here, see for yourself. This is the last message he left for you. He was killed by Spirit Hall experts. He said he wanted to avenge you, but because his skills were inferior, he was defeated by Spirit Hall's experts. Before he died, he specifically asked me to revive you. Otherwise, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life," Cao Yan said, spreading open his fair palm and taking out Tang Hao's will before handing it to Ah Yin.

Looking at the parchment in Cao Yan's hand, Ah Yin accepted it doubtfully. The next moment, when she saw the familiar handwriting upon it, the expression on her face changed to shock.

Her hand trembled, and Tang Hao's will fell directly to the ground.

Her Tang Hao... had died just like that?
