The cracks on the ground climbed up along the gaps in the stone carvings, climbing over the skirt, the waist, and the gentle and smiling face.
The entire statue turned into a scarlet human form, as if the blood that had been sealed in amber for too long finally began to flow again.
Bang...
That was the sound of shattering. The gray shell attached to Netherworld peeled off like a rock, smashing to the ground piece by piece, shattering into smoke and dust, and scattered when blown by the wind.
Wearing a long blood-red dress, the hem of the skirt swayed gently in the breeze, and you could vaguely see a pair of slender white legs hidden under the fabric.
The low tube top barely held up the pride on her chest, and a few strands of gray-green long hair slid down from her shoulders and hung beside her collarbone.
There are still some golden threads left among the blood red...
That was a symbol of the unblocked power... but the golden lines were fading quickly.
She is still as beautiful as she was a year ago, exactly the same as she was a year ago...Lu Ling remembers her.
"Spirit..." Netherworld opened his eyes.
The first thing he did when he opened those gray-red eyes was to look for Lu Ling.
The awakening this time was not as weak as the one in Dark Baleful Forest. At that time, she could not even stand steady, and could only barely raise her head by leaning on his arms.
Today is different from the past.
At that time, Ling's body was still very weak. Even if her chest was pierced, his blood would not be able to feed her.
But now, his body has climbed to a strength close to Commander Level through countless temperings.
Spirit Body's blood is naturally many times stronger than it was then.
What's more, what she gained this time was her heart's blood, every bit of it.
"Spirit..."
Finally, Netherworld found the person he longed for next to him.
The white-haired young man was lying quietly in the Other Shore Flower sea. Countless bright red flowers surrounded him, his face was gently supported by the petals, his eyes were closed, as peacefully as if he was asleep.
Netherworld squatted down, stretched out her hand, and gently held the side of Lu Ling's face. Her fingertips were trembling slightly, but they were very steady, as if she was afraid that he would break, and as if she was confirming whether he was real.
Lu Ling has no blood stains on his body.
All the blood was sucked by her and turned into the purest life energy, not a drop was wasted.
"Netherworld..." Long Zhanye read out the name blankly.
She hadn't seen him for a year, and the person in front of her made her feel a little dazed.
But Netherworld had no extra thought to pay attention to others at this moment. All her attention was devoted to Lu Ling, and she did not notice the white-haired loli beside her, nor the silent silver-haired Dragon Emperor.
"Your contract can actually reach this level."
A voice came from the void, ethereal and cold, as if it was floating from a very far away place, but it fell clearly on my ears.
In front of Mysterious Dragon Emperor, several rays of golden light swirled, quickly outlining a slender figure.
With blond hair, gray eyes, and a white robe hanging down to the floor, Shen Xi, who has been hiding in the deepest part of the Spirit Realm, is finally ready to let go.
She looked at the two dragons in front of her with surprise and curiosity in her gray eyes.
"..."
Mysterious Dragon Emperor didn't speak, just looked back at her quietly.
"But that's okay."
Shen Xi looked away, with a sense of natural arrogance in his tone, "Since you are willing to make such a nonsensical contract with him, it doesn't matter if you bear the price. It just helps him share some of the side effects."
"It doesn't matter."
Mysterious Dragon Emperor's tone was calm.
This price is just a trivial matter to her.
She was just a little confused... What on earth did Lu Ling do to cause her to consume so much power?
Her physical strength dropped by 20%.
Don't underestimate this 20%, the energy contained in it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Now it seems that he was absorbed by this woman named Netherworld.
"What did he do?" Long Zhanye raised his little face and stared straight at Shen Xi with his big golden eyes.
"It just donated some blood and some energy. It didn't damage the roots. It only takes some time to fully recover." Shen Xi said it lightly.
"That's it..." Long Zhanye muttered in a low voice.
As long as this human being is happy.
She thought this quietly in her heart.
In fact, she has always known the sadness and self-blame hidden in Lu Ling's heart.
Over the past year, he seemed to have nothing to do on the surface, but the deepest obsession never dissipated.
Now, Lu Ling finally got his wish and rescued Netherworld, as well as himself.
She was happy for Lu Ling from the bottom of her heart.
As her slave, how could he be so passive all the time?!
"Huh..."
Suddenly, Mysterious Dragon Emperor's light laughter came from the side. The meaning of the laughter was unclear, but it made Long Zhanye's ears turn red all of a sudden.
She hurriedly said some very bad words in her heart to cover up her true thoughts.
Unfortunately, everything is in vain.
There are no secrets between the two sisters.
"Since his spirit is fine, I will go back first. If you are worried about him, just stay here." Mysterious Dragon Emperor stroked Long Zhanye's head gently.
Just after rubbing her hand twice, she stepped directly into Gate of Space without giving Long Zhanye a chance to speak.
"Hey..."
Long Zhanye looked at the place where her sister disappeared and whispered.
"I'm not worried... just a little bit..."
"Thank you for worrying about Ling... Thank you for taking this time." Netherworld finally spoke.
She raised her head and looked at Long Zhanye with a smile.
Long Zhanye was instantly shocked.
"Idiot! Do you have the right to speak?! I have never worried about him!!!"
Her little face turned red, her two little fists were clenched tightly, and she was fiercely attacking Netherworld.
"He is indeed a fool." Shen Xi said softly.
"Little Xi, don't be angry... this is my life." Netherworld lowered his eyes and spoke in a small voice, as if he had done something wrong.
"I'm not angry."
Shen Xi's voice became fainter, as if he was talking to himself,
"After all... this is my life too. It is the meaning of our existence."
The atmosphere between the two of them somehow sank. Long Zhanye looked at Shen Xi from the left and Netherworld from the right. Their cute little faces were full of suspicion.
"What is your relationship with Lu Ling?"
She felt like a little animal left hanging in a corner, unable to understand anything.
"For the sake of your life tied to him, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Shen Xi's tone was calm, and her arrogance was somewhat restrained, but she still couldn't hide the innate arrogance in her bones.
"We... are his strength."
"I've known this for a long time!" Long Zhanye screamed with a look of dissatisfaction.
"You know it and you still ask." Shen Xi glanced at her lightly.
"Please explain in more detail!" Long Zhanye was speechless.
"Power is power. Literally." Shen Xi seemed to not understand her question and still had no other explanation.
Long Zhanye rolled his big eyes and asked very smartly.
"What exactly is the power?"
"I am Soul of the Spirit Body, and she is Life of the Spirit Body."
Shen Xi didn't hide anything and gave the answer simply and neatly. It seems that her mind is really one-sided... If I don't ask clearly, she won't answer clearly.
"Soul? Life?"
Long Zhanye tilted his head, with the word "so confused" written all over his face.
"The soul is Divine Soul, which is spiritual power... life is his physical body and his life energy." Shen Xi continued to explain.
"But... he is obviously an independent individual. According to what you said, you are obviously a part of him." Long Zhanye was even more confused.
"Our power is too strong, so we can only be separated. However, countless years have passed, and our power and memory have been almost lost." Shen Xi shook his head helplessly.
Her eyes drifted to Lu Ling, paused for a moment on that peaceful face, and then added.
"Ling has... turned into a useless piece of shit."
"..."
