Chapter 310

"Nightmare Demon, how did you get out?" Old Priest asked cautiously, looking at the boy with bloodshot eyes.

"I've been waiting for the little girl to come back."

"Who is she? Where is she?"

Old Sovereign asked warily.

"She's in the Sacrificial Hall."

"The Sacrificial Hall!"

Old Priest and Sovereign exchanged a glance, their eyes widening as if they had just realized something.

"I'm going to find her!"

The boy walked straight past Old Priest and Old Sovereign, heading towards the outside of the forbidden area.

"Nightmare Demon, if you go see her with that appearance, aren't you afraid you'll scare her to death?"

Old Priest stood in front of the boy, saying nervously.

"Will she be afraid of me?"

The boy stepped past Old Priest's body and walked to the edge of the pool outside the forbidden area, staring intently at his current face in the reflection.

His skin was shockingly pale, but his eyes and lips were as red as fresh blood. Combined with the black patterns covering his face, his appearance was indeed quite terrifying at first glance.

"How old is she now?"

"Just born."

"So young."

The boy looked at the reflection in the pool and placed his hand over his face. The next second, his form began to slowly shrink, turning into the appearance of a five-year-old child. Even his face transformed into a miniature version of Gu Shan.

Looking at the fair, childlike face with pale lips and black eyes, the child turned back to Old Priest and Sovereign with a cold, expressionless gaze.

"Old Priest, do I look like a normal person now?"

Faced with the child's question, Old Priest and Sovereign nodded seriously.

Having received the answer he needed, the child walked to Old Priest's side and said coldly, "Take me to find her."

"Okay, I'll take you to find her now. But Nightmare Demon, you made an agreement with us not to harm ordinary people at will."

Old Sovereign said nervously.

"With her around, I won't."

The boy said expressionlessly.

When Lin Zaozao woke up again, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the apparition who had claimed to be her husband. There was also a five or six-year-old boy crouching beside her infant bed.

Staring at these two very similar faces before her, Lin Zaozao blinked curiously and asked, "Are you two father and son?"

"I'm human, he's a Nightmare Demon."

"I'm a Nightmare Demon, he's a dog."

Gu Shan and the little boy said expressionlessly one after the other.

"Hmm!"

Lin Zaozao stared at the big and small figures before her, her face full of confusion. What Nightmare Demon, what dog? What were this big and small talking about?

Just as Lin Zaozao was puzzled, Old Priest Ming Yue came in carrying a bowl of milk. He first glanced at the little boy standing beside Lin Zaozao's infant bed, his eyes full of helplessness.

Seeing Old Priest come in, Lin Zaozao immediately swallowed the words she was about to say and obediently acted like a proper infant.

If she, a newborn child, started speaking, she might be burned as a monster, which would serve her right.

So, when it was time to act, she had to act properly.

But before she could act for three seconds, Old Priest put the bowl in the little boy's hands and said gently to Lin Zaozao, "Child, you are a child born from the Moonlight Flower Tree, and I know you are different from ordinary people, so you can probably understand what I'm saying now.

I am the Old Priest of Han Country, and you are the next priestess born from the Moonlight Flower Tree.

My name is Ming Yue. As the successor to the next priestess, from now on, you will be called Ming Zhu.

Starting today, I will assign people to take care of your daily life."

After saying that, Old Priest looked at the little boy holding the bowl with a complicated gaze and introduced him to Lin Zaozao, pointing at him, "Starting today, this child will be your bodyguard, guarding you as you grow up.

Ming Zhu, if you can speak now, give this child a name! Because he really needs a name."

After hearing Old Priest's words, Lin Zaozao, as an infant, wanted to unelegantly roll her eyes.

She was a newborn baby, right? Which newborn baby could understand human speech and speak human words?

But when Lin Zaozao met Old Priest's serious gaze, she could only open her mouth and admit it.

She couldn't deny it anyway!

Because inside this infant body was the soul of an adult!

For an adult to pretend to be a newborn infant, the difficulty level was truly too high.

"Priest Ming Yue, my name is Lin Zaozao."

"Zaozao, since you've come here, no matter how hard it is, you must try your best to live on!"

After saying that, Old Priest turned and left.

Watching Old Priest's departing back, Lin Zaozao was momentarily dumbfounded.

Old Priest saw a baby speak, and his acceptance ability was that strong?

Or did he simply not want to ask too many questions about her?

"Zaozao, Old Priest's eyes can see through the past and future of the next priestess. The first time he saw you, he knew your true identity."

Gu Shan said gently as he stood beside Lin Zaozao's infant bed.

"Really? That Old Priest called Ming Yue is that powerful?"

Lin Zaozao said in surprise.

"Zaozao, drink milk."

The little boy picked Lin Zaozao up from the infant bed and skillfully fed her milk.

"Wow, how old are you? Such a young child yet you know how to take care of a baby."

Lin Zaozao obediently lay in the little boy's arms and asked in surprise.

"I'm one thousand three hundred years old. I'm a Nightmare Demon, a monster."

The boy said with a slightly halting tone.

"Little brat, don't joke with your sister! You look like a little radish, but you're one thousand three hundred years old. If you're one thousand three hundred years old, then I must be at least one thousand years old."

Lin Zaozao teased.

"Hmm! Zaozao is smart. You're one thousand years old."

The boy held Lin Zaozao with one arm and gently fed her milk with the other hand.

Hearing the boy speak so matter-of-factly, Lin Zaozao rolled her eyes before immediately closing her mouth.

This child was truly just a fool.

She, a one-thousand-year-old infant.

Ha!

After Lin Zaozao drank her milk under the attentive care of the little boy, the fragile infant's body allowed her to fall back into slumber.

Gu Shan and the little boy glanced at Lin Zaozao's sleeping face, exchanged a look, and turned to walk outside.

At the moment the door was gently closed behind them, Gu Shan and the little boy, now outside the room, didn't notice Lin Zaozao's body rapidly growing at a visible pace.

Until she had grown to resemble a three or four-year-old, the growth stopped.

Standing in the courtyard, Gu Shan looked at the little boy before him. They gazed at each other for a long time, both trying to gather the information they wanted from the other's eyes.

"Your time is running short, speak quickly if you have something to say."

The little boy said coldly, looking at Gu Shan's gradually fading figure.

"I am your next incarnation. In my next life, I will be human, no longer a Nightmare Demon. And I am now pregnant with Zaozao's child..."

"Get to the point."

Before Gu Shan could finish, the young boy glanced at his abdomen and said icily.

"There is a demoniac on Zaozao who has committed a grave sin. Not long from now, he will use Zaozao's sacred destiny to make a sacrifice for heaven and earth, thereby atoning for his immense transgression."

"Then kill him. I am a Nightmare, he is a demon, my rank is higher than his, and I can devour him."

The boy said coldly.

"You cannot kill that demoniac. In order to drag Zaozao down, he will simultaneously pull two souls from other realms into this world, tightly entangling their fates with hers.

To kill that demoniac, we must wait until Zaozao grows up and becomes a true High Priestess, mastering the skills a High Priestess should possess.

Only then can she use her destiny to find a way to expel those two foreign souls from this world.

Once those two souls depart, the demoniac will be left without support and naturally expose himself.

As soon as that wretched demoniac shows his face, you can crush him with your bare hands or devour him."

Hearing Gu Shan's words, the boy looked up coldly and said, "What? Your former self couldn't even crush that demoniac, a mere trifle?"

"No. In my previous life, he disguised himself too well. Although I stayed by Zaozao's side, I never discovered the demoniac who had been rejected by heaven and earth lurking within her.

Only when Zaozao was gravely injured by him and clinging to life did I finally notice that accursed demoniac.

But after I wounded him, he dragged those two foreign souls and Zaozao into another realm - our future incarnation."

"You're useless, better off dead."

The boy said with disgust.

"I won't die. Now I am human, no longer a Nightmare Demon. And I am carrying Zaozao's child. When they are born, they will call me Father, and Zaozao Mother!"

Hearing Gu Shan's smug tone, the little boy's eyes instantly turned blood red.

He truly disliked his next incarnation!

"After you're gone, I'll bear children for Zaozao in this life."

The boy glanced enviously at Gu Shan's abdomen.

"You cannot. You are currently a Nightmare, an embodiment of sin, while Zaozao is this world's child of destiny.

Your existence now clashes with her destiny.

Or rather, unless absolutely necessary, you must never touch her body."
