Ling Ya lifted the Ice Seal on the remaining Prayer Spirit Demon Fireflies, and the frightened fireflies scattered like birds and beasts.
They continued deeper into the forest in search of soul beasts.
Having obtained the crucial sixth soul skill she had wished for, Nana finally found relief from her greatest obsession.
When she looked at Dai Youheng, there was now heartfelt gratitude and trust in her eyes, beyond the soul bond she could not escape. From that moment on, her attitude changed completely. She no longer objected to any of Dai Youheng's arrangements and followed them wholeheartedly.
