Chapter 304

But before they could fully emerge from the blood pool, it seemed like someone was pulling at their limbs, dragging them back down to the bottom.

Yet when they saw Lin Zaozao standing beside the blood pool, their eyes, without exception, silently pleaded for help.

"The formation's acupoint is here."

Lin Zaozao stood up and pulled out a hairpin from her head, slashing directly at her own wrist.

As the sharp hairpin cut into her wrist, drops of fresh blood fell into the blood pool. The moment the blood splashed into the pool, a massive Moonlight Flower tree rapidly sprouted, drawing nourishment from the blood.

Once the giant Moonlight Flower tree absorbed all the blood, its roots swiftly extended underground towards the palace. When the roots touched the shattered flesh outside the palace, all the flesh turned into nourishment for the Moonlight Flower tree and was absorbed clean.

Until the Moonlight Flower tree absorbed all the flesh and blood, it had already burst through the roof of the palace, rapidly growing upwards.

And at this time, Lin Zaozao stood on a branch of the Moonlight Flower tree, rising with it as it pierced through the roof, heading towards the empty sky above.

When the Moonlight Flower tree stopped growing, Lin Zaozao once again expressionlessly pierced her finger with the hairpin, letting the blood drip onto the trunk.

The next second, the no-longer-growing Moonlight Flower tree directly shattered the formation restraining it, continuing its upward growth.

Only when all the blood on the trunk had fully seeped inside did the Moonlight Flower tree finally stop growing.

Sitting dazed on the trunk, Lin Zaozao looked at the Moonlight Flowers covering the tree. When she reached out to touch them, the Moonlight Flowers dissipated at her fingertips.

These Moonlight Flowers were obtained in exchange for her Luo Luo.

This was her sacrificing her own life.

Lin Zaozao looked towards Canglan Country, repeatedly calling out to the system in her mind. But this time, the system would no longer answer her questions.

Because her system, her Luo Luo, her brother, was truly gone.

She had to go to Canglan Country. She had to know about her previous life. She had to know what exactly happened to Luo Luo.

Just as Lin Zaozao was dazed looking towards Canglan Country, the voices of Gu Shan and Little Xibei clearly reached her ears.

"Zaozao, don't let go, I'll come up and save you right away."

"Zaozao, I'm here. Hold on tight, don't let go no matter what."

Gu Shan and Little Xibei, relying on their powerful martial arts, were the first to rush towards the massive Moonlight Flower tree in the center of the palace the moment the formation broke.

When they stepped into the palace and saw the floor covered in tree roots and the shattered remains of the palace buildings, their gazes lifted towards the countless Moonlight Flower petals scattered on the ground. As the petals fell, beams of luminescence shot towards the sky.

Following those beams of light, when Gu Shan looked up, he saw Lin Zaozao standing on a branch.

Fortunately, she usually liked wearing brilliantly colorful clothes, so they could accurately make out Lin Zaozao's figure on the huge Moonlight Flower tree.

Gu Shan and Little Xibei looked up at Lin Zaozao's slender frame.

Her frail body was clad in an oversized robe. As the strong wind blew, her robe billowed out.

It seemed that if they so much as blinked, the skinny Lin Zaozao would disappear from their sight.

At this moment, the memories of two lifetimes overlapped, bringing tears to Gu Shan and Little Xibei's eyes.

They exchanged a glance, then swiftly started climbing up the tree towards Lin Zaozao. Just as Gu Shan and Little Xibei were about to reach her, she looked down and smiled at them.

But in the next second, Lin Zaozao's body plummeted straight down like a kite with its string cut.

"Zaozao..."

"No, Zaozao..."

Gu Shan and Little Xibei simultaneously let go of the trunk and dove after Lin Zaozao, hoping to catch her.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late.

Lin Zaozao's body fell straight down.

"No no, Zaozao..."

"Zaozao, use your sacrificial abilities..."

Gu Shan and Little Xibei chased after Lin Zaozao desperately. But no matter how hard they tried, they could never grab onto the hem of her robe.

Seeing Lin Zaozao's falling body, Gu Shan's strength left him, his eyes full of the resolve to follow her into death.

Whether in the previous life or this one, if Zaozao died, he would eternally accompany her in burial.

Why?

Could people really not overcome the heavens?

He had made so much effort.

Even if he hadn't recovered his memories from his past life, he had followed his heart, established the Eighteen Buildings, and saved so many people, accumulating immense virtue.

But why? Why couldn't the merit he had amassed allow him to regain his beloved girl?

Seeing Lin Zaozao about to hit the ground, just as Gu Shan closed his eyes in despair, ready to die with her, the Wizard grabbed his collar.

"Demon Lord, Zaozao isn't dead yet! What are you playing at with this sacrificing nonsense!"

"Ji Fantian, come quickly and look at Zaozao..."

"Han Ye High Priest, what happened to Zaozao?"

"Zaozao, what's going on? Why is there so much blood on her body?"

"..."

Hearing the chaotic voices around him, Gu Shan opened his eyes, all hope lost, to find the Wizard holding him up by his collar.

And his beloved girl was being held in the arms of the Han Ye High Priest, with Little Peach Blossom, Ji Fantian, and others surrounding her, carefully examining her body.

"Zaozao didn't die."

Seeing this, Gu Shan slapped away the Wizard holding his collar and scrambled over to Lin Zaozao.

When he took her hand and felt her pulse still beating, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

His beloved girl was still alive.

The next second, Gu Shan closed his eyes and passed out.

"Hey! Demon Lord! Wake up, Lin Zaozao is still alive!"

The Wizard grabbed Gu Shan's collar, intending to pull him up, but Han Ye stopped him.

"Wizard, don't touch him. He's having a heart attack and has already injured himself."

"Oh! Then I won't touch him. But Han Ye, he's pregnant, we can't just leave him lying here!"

"Stop talking nonsense and take care of Gu Shan. If anything happens to Gu Shan, Lin Zaozao can't be saved either. Wizard, look at Lin Zaozao's hair..."

Hearing Han Ye's voice, everyone's gaze turned to Lin Zaozao's hair.

Just starting from Lin Zaozao's hairline, her black hair had already turned silver.

This is...

Lin Zaozao's priestess abilities are recovering!

"Someone, quick, prepare the carriage! We're going to Canglan Country immediately!"

Han Ye picked up Lin Zaozao and hurried outside. When Lin Zaozao's black hair had completely turned silver, it would mean her priestess abilities had fully recovered.

Once her priestess abilities recovered, but her memories could not be restored, there would only be one path left for Lin Zaozao.

That is, death!

"Hey, hey, hey! Han Ye, should we bring the Demon Lord along?"

The Wizard half-supported Gu Shan and shouted.

"What do you think?"

Han Ye turned his head, gave the Wizard a cold glance, and then quickly carried Lin Zaozao outside.

The distance from Fengshuo to Canglan Country was not near, and he had to reach Canglan Country before Zhuzhu's hair turned completely silver to seek help from Ye Xi Princess.

When Han Ye carried Lin Zaozao out of the palace, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan were already waiting there with their pack of giant wolves.

"Your Highness Han Ye, time is of the essence. Let my pack of giant wolves take you to Canglan Country."

Facing Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's mismatched gold and blue eyes, Han Ye's steps faltered. As he looked at their identical faces, his eyes widened.

"You, you are—Xi Luo!"

"Your Highness Han Ye, Xi Luo is dead. The ones standing before you now are Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan."

Lin Wuwu looked at Han Ye with a smile, but his tone was unprecedentedly strange.

Han Ye stared at the twins before him, gritted his teeth, and said with a pained expression.

"You really are a cruel person. For Zaozao, you've tortured yourself to this extent?

Playing so many roles as one person, don't you feel exhausted?"

"Your Highness Han Ye, it depends on who it's for. For the one I love, I'm willing to play any number of roles."

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly.

"Enough, let's not waste time. Zhuzhu's hair is turning silver, we should leave."

Han Ye looked at Lin Zaozao's emaciated face and urged anxiously.

"You mutt, why the rush? Even if we're going to Canglan Country to find that old woman Ye Xi, we need to have everyone together!

You can't just take the eldest sister to Canglan Country and be a lone commander, you won't be able to do anything!"

"Xi Luo!"

Han Ye frowned.

"Stop shouting. Let's wait for Ji Fantian and the others to come out, then we'll all go to Canglan Country together. The giant wolves are much faster than horses, so no matter how urgent it is, we can afford to wait a bit."

Lin Wuwu stood beside Lin Wanwan and said coldly.

Looking at the twin siblings before him, Han Ye felt both angry and relieved.

Indeed, he couldn't be in such a rush.

Because with just him alone, there was no way he could bring Lin Zaozao's memories back from her previous life.

Moreover, if there were any errors in her memory recovery, it was unknown whether Lin Zaozao would be able to return as he had planned.

As Han Ye waited anxiously, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan stood like statues at the palace gates.

Only when the Wizard came out with Gu Shan, Little Xibei, and the others, and the giant wolves behind him lined up in an orderly fashion, did they seem ready for Little Xibei and the others to mount them.

"Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan, this is..."

Little Xibei and the others looked at the giant wolves before them in confusion.

"Time is urgent, we'll ride the giant wolves to Canglan Country."

After speaking, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan mounted a giant wolf without looking at Little Xibei and the others' expressions.

Watching Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan straddling the giant wolves, Little Xibei and the Wizard, who was carrying Gu Shan, immediately changed their expressions.

In their shock, they turned to look at Han Ye, who was holding Lin Zaozao, with utter disbelief.

When they received Han Ye's affirmation, a gasp of fear could be clearly heard by everyone.

That mutt Xi Luo!

He really is a ruthless person!

All this time, how well had he been pretending? To the point that they only discovered the abnormality today.
