Chapter 649: The Smitten Demoness
Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gripping the small wooden puppet, Yang Ling was incredibly excited. The Soul Imprint branded deep within the head of the wooden puppet gave him a sense of familiarity. This doll felt as though it was a part of his body, a continuation of his life!
Life Graft!
After failing time and time again, Yang Ling had finally gained a preliminary understanding of this mysterious Soul Wizard Technique!
Creating one of these is too troublesome; otherwise, I would like to have a few more! Looking at the single puppet he had spent so much effort to create, then turning to his massive pile of failures, Yang Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. He cautiously hid the amulet-like puppet.
He had originally wanted to equip every powerful Magical Beast with a wooden puppet to protect them. Now it looked like that wasnt going to be so easy!
Quick, quick, quick, split up and search, dont miss anything suspicious!
Mobilize the vanguard, now!
The entire Evil Demon Base was in turmoil. Large teams of Abyssal Demons quickly got into a formation under the guidance of their commanders, launching into a net-like search of the surrounding land. After being jolted awake by the formless scream released when the wooden puppet was created, they had instinctively sensed danger and mobilized their troops to find the source of the scream.
There was danger lurking in every corner of the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. Even such a large group of Abyssal Demons couldnt risk being careless, or they might fall under a terrifying siege!
In order to prevent anyone from passing through the area and sneaking into the Moon River, a large number of Abyssal Demons gathered within the base, their numbers reaching into the thousands. Merely mobilizing the vanguard had caused much chaos within the base. Soon, a search team of Evil Demons began to approach the desolate valley.
The Corpse Wizard King quietly came to the front of Yang Lings tent. Sir, theres a team of Evil Demons outside, do we
Rodriguez, dont be nervous. With the screen of Crystal Mist and the protection of the restrictions, they might not notice our tracks even if they were to walk by us. Be careful, and restrain the ripples of energy in your body using the Magical Divine Ring! Yang Ling waved his hand and layered on a few restrictions, the Soul Crystal in his brain pulsing as it released a large field of Crystal Mist, enveloping the area around them.
Winter was approaching. Thick fog descended on many areas within the Graveyard of Deities and Demons come nightfall. Yang Lings valley was no exception; thick fog always rose among the lush trees. The Crystal Mist released by Yang Ling seemed no different from an ordinary white fog, and thus it didnt attract much attention.
Just as Yang Ling had said, the Abyssal Demons didnt notice a thing even though they walked right past Yang Lings group!
The fog was just too thick. The Abyssal Demons couldnt see their own fingers in front of their faces, so they were mainly scanning the area using their Divine Knowledge. The Magical Divine Rings that Yang Lings people wore could restrain the ripples of energy in their bodies. Coupled with the cover brought about by the restrictions and Crystal Mist, they narrowly managed to avoid the detection of the searching Abyssal Demons!
Captain, theres nothing suspicious here! an Evil Demon reported loudly to its commander. They had passed through the area multiple times.
Then well continue searching down this mountain range!
Captain, what exactly did we feel earlier that started this search?
Who knows? Perhaps an unparalleled fighter was just making his way past the area!
The Abyssal Demons discussed the situation quietly, moving further and further away from the dilapidated valley.
Commander, should we immediately head to the forest now that the Evil Demons have left? The Giant Ape King asked, worried that the large group of Evil Demons would return.
Fool, there are Evil Demons patrolling everywhere. Charging out now would be asking them to surround us. The Corpse Wizard King shook his head, instructing the rest of the group to continue meditating. If they truly couldnt deal with the situation, they could still head into the Wizard Pagodas Space to avoid danger. There was no need to take the huge risk of charging out the valley.
After toiling through the night and having nothing to show for it, peace gradually returned to the Evil Demon Base. The Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group heaved sighs of relief. After making his way quickly around the valley and determining that there was no danger, Yang Ling decided to enter the Wizard Pagodas Space.
After absorbing a large amount of energy from the outside world, the Wizard Pagodas Space had become larger once again. At this point, it wasnt much smaller than the entire Tailun Continent. The sun shone down merrily, and the lush primordial forest had no end in sight. The azure waters also spanned tens of thousands of miles, making up the endless ocean
After making his way around the area near the Wizards Pagoda, Yang Ling walked toward the Wizard Tomb, following a small, shaded path. He walked softly over the dilapidated marble path, making his way past hill after hill, forest after forest. Just as he was about to sit on top of a small mountain, he could suddenly hear a faint choking sound in the wind. Confused, he followed the sound to its source, only to discover the Demoness, who was wearing a white robe, sitting on a stone slab. Her face was covered in tears as she gently grasped the Death Blade Token in her hands.
Is this sin or fate? Yang Ling sighed quietly when he saw the Demoness hiding and gently weeping to herself.
Originally, he had thought that with the separation of the Demoness and Richardson, their feelings for each other would gradually dampen with the passage of time. Now it seemed like things wouldnt be as simple and easy as he had hoped.
My Lord! Seeing Yang Ling suddenly appear, the Demoness frantically put away the fiery red Death Blade Token and wiped the tears off her cheeks.
Yang Ling didnt like looking on helplessly as the Demoness continued to be smitten. After deliberating for a moment, he said what he was thinking, Sala, Richardson hails from a powerful and ancient family. Families like that have strict requirements for the marriage of their descendants. Nothing good can come of you two being together. Forget him!
If Richardson was just an average man, if he had been born into an ordinary family, if the Demoness had been born a true woman, he would not have stopped them from seeing each other. Unfortunately, all of those unfortunate circumstances were piled against them!
My Lord, after joining the Magical Beast Army, I have come to love this beautiful Wizard Pagodas Space and think of it as my true homeland. In my eyes, you are my closest relative! The Demoness wiped her tears again, choking a little before continuing, No matter where we go in the future, no matter what we face, I will never reveal the secret of the Wizard Pagodas Space to anyone else. However, it is impossible for me to forget Richardson, I really cant. My Lord, I really cant
The Demonesss nose crinkled when she remembered Richardsons smile and laughter, her tears once again bursting out in a stream.
The Wizard Pagodas Space is getting larger and larger, and Ophilia cant handle it all by herself. Sala, you will stay within the Wizard Pagodas Space in the future and help Ophilia. Forget Richardson! Yang Ling sighed, prepared to turn and leave.
No My Lord, I cannot do that! The Demoness knelt on the ground, groveling pitifully before Yang Ling. My Lord, I beg of you to help me! Help me rapidly advance to the Divine level. I beg of you to turn me into a true woman!
Sala, so what if you become a true woman after advancing to the Divine level? Yang Ling shook his head bitterly and slowly said, To the proud ancient families, your background is the most important thing about you. Even if you are the most beautiful woman in the world, the elders in Richardsons family will never agree to you two seeing each other. Wake up! You will only hurt yourself deeply if you continue to follow your feelings like this!
Yang Ling didnt see things turning out favorably if the Demoness and Richardson were together. Now that he had advanced to mid-level Soul Wizard, even though he hadnt achieved many breakthroughs in the area of predictive Wizard Techniques, he did have faint premonitions before things happened. It was highly possible that there would be an unprecedented tragedy if the Demoness and Richardson were to continue like this.
My Lord, moths chase after the light of a fire. Even though they know that they will be burned to death after flying over, they will still fly over without hesitation, just for that radiance at the instant they come into contact with the flame. Even if Richardsons family rejects me and Richardson seeing each other, even if something bad happens because of this, I am willing to suffer it. I am willing to be the moth that gives up my life for that momentary bliss! The Demonesss face was covered in tears, but she was determined.
She knew what she was, and she knew that there would be extreme backlash from the elders in Richardsons family if she got together with him. However, she was unwilling to give up as long as there was a chance. She wanted to become a true woman and be with Richardson, even if she had to give up her life.
My Lord, I beg you, I beg of you. My Lord, only you can help me, my Lord The Demonesss eyes turned blurry because of her tears. She knew that only her master Yang Ling could help her if she wanted to reach the Divine level and become a true woman in a short span of time. If Yang Ling gave her a Magical Divine Ring, she would be able to advance just as rapidly as the Corpse Wizard King, the Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group had.
She would even give up her life to be with Richardson?
Seeing that the Demoness had no hesitation, Yang Ling fell silent. In the past days, he had set aside some time and managed to dispel a Dragon Head Ring. He had wanted to give it to the Flying Dragon King Seylius so that he could quickly advance to become a Divine-level Flying Dragon. However, faced with the bitter pleas of the Demoness, seeing her stream of tears, his heart couldnt help but waver.
My Lord, you are the person closest to me, only you can help me. My Lord, I beg of you! Seeing that Yang Ling remained silent, the Demoness pleaded with him bitterly. It was as if she was grasping the last thread of a rope in a raging river.
Sara, how a persons life turns out depends entirely on their choices. I hope that everyone around me can live a life of bliss. I hope that you will never regret any decision in your life! Yang Ling sighed and walked away, leaving behind a Magical Divine Ring.
The sky had already gotten bright outside the Wizard Pagodas Space. It was time to head to the nearby Moon River!
