There was more wisdom between Mulong's eyebrows and eyes. The charm and temperament of a mature man were intertwined with the fatigue of his years of hard work. There were a few more wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes, but the shrewdness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

The saddest thing for children is not having their father's company. Seeing their father seem to have aged overnight, even though Mu Long still looked as charming as ever, Mu Yaxi was still so sad that she wanted to cry.

For Mu Long, twelve years of time, twelve years of waiting, all he yearned for was his daughter's safe return. Seeing her standing before him, still the same girl he had been twelve years before, unharmed, made everything meaningful.

He patted Mu Yaxi's back gently like any loving father, but Mu Yaxi had already burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back." He didn't know whether he was comforting Mu Yaxi or comforting himself, but at this moment he felt relieved.

"You have wrinkles." Mu Yaxi wiped away her tears and looked at the corner of Mu Long's eyes.

"You've grown up so much. As a father, you're bound to get older." Mu Long smiled dotingly, "Come into the house quickly. It's almost dawn."

Mu Long welcomed everyone into the house. With the Mu family's properties, there was never a shortage of rooms. They rushed in like they were at home, selecting the rooms they liked.

Luo Youyou stood in front of the mirror, looking at the mark on her forehead. The dark tea leaf looked shocking, like a tattoo that could never be erased. She rubbed it hard a few times, but except for leaving a red mark on her forehead, the tea leaf did not move at all, as if it had taken root in her heart, blooming with a hideousness that frightened even herself.

The thought of a powerful soul residing within her, one that belonged to her but was not under her control, filled her with anxiety. If her current consciousness were to be devoured, would she become a greater threat than Circe herself?

Will the human world that she had worked so hard to save from Circe turn into an even more terrifying purgatory in her hands?

She suddenly felt a chill. It turned out that her biggest enemy had never been others.

The vampires have an infinitely sustainable life. She suddenly felt that her life could come to an abrupt end at any time. If her consciousness was devoured by another soul, she would be the same as dead.

At that time, she was her, and she was no longer her.

It turns out that the meaning of life does not lie in its permanence, but in who you are now and who you will be in the future.

Luo Youyou in the mirror suddenly showed a strange smile. She looked at Luo Youyou in front of the mirror, her eyes stopped at her forehead, and she tilted her head slightly, as if thinking about what imperfections this mark might have.

Luo Youyou was frightened in front of the mirror. She rubbed her eyes and found that the person in the mirror did not move and still kept her head slightly tilted.

"You...can you come out?" Luo Youyou asked tentatively.

"I'm right in your eyes. I haven't gone anywhere. I'm here whenever you think of me." Luo Youyou's smile in the mirror deepened. "Don't run away. Admit it. You need my strength."

"I don't need it!"

"Do you think that with your power, you can send the army of spirit beasts back to the underworld?"

Luo Youyou in front of the mirror was speechless. She was just thinking about whether she should send the spirit beast back to the underworld, and her body did so uncontrollably.

"What do you want to do after the soul fusion?" Luo Youyou paused and asked cautiously.

"Let father enter and exit the underworld freely, summon Blood Father to save that useless mother, and reunite the family." Luo Youyou in the mirror said with an evil smile.

Luo Youyou in front of the mirror felt a little relieved. After all, it was still her. As long as their goals were the same, it didn't matter who controlled whom.

"Before that," Luo Youyou in the mirror continued, "let's destroy the human world first."

"Why?" Luo Youyou in front of the mirror felt relieved and her heart was hanging again.

"No reason, it's just fun." Luo Youyou in the mirror laughed wildly, exuding an aura that could crush everything.

"Let all creatures in the five realms submit to me, be my slaves, and obey my orders." Luo Youyou in the mirror laughed even more wildly.

Luo Youyou shuddered in front of the mirror, as if she had already surrendered at this moment, and the evil and arrogant self in the mirror had won without a fight.

Luo Youyou closed her eyes and stopped looking at her. She came to the underworld. Barlow seemed to have been waiting for her and was not surprised at all by her arrival.

"She has awakened." A statement, no doubt about it.

Luo Youyou nodded. How many secrets did Barlow hide?

Barlow poured Luo Youyou a glass of dark red liquid that she had never tasted before. The dark red liquid emitted a little fluorescence. Barlow shook it a few times in the high-heeled glass and handed it to Luo Youyou.

Barlow sat next to Luo Youyou and told him about his helplessness for the first time.

In order for him and Luo Yun to have a child of their own, relying solely on the blood of the Mu family is far from enough. He must inject three souls into the child, allowing the three souls to carry different powers, so that his child can be born smoothly.

His power is too strong, and ordinary souls cannot withstand such power. Even if the child is born, the body will be devoured bit by bit by the powerful power, and he will not know what kind of monster it is.

When he grew up, he also experienced the painful process of combining two souls, and Luo Youyou had experienced it once more than him. All his efforts were for his child to be a normal person, not a monster that even he could not estimate.

"You are doing very well now." Barlow looked at her with a faint smile, which was full of pride.

"She is too strong. I don't know if I can do well this time." Luo Youyou lowered her head. She herself had never felt so unconfident.

"She has been sealed for more than two thousand years and has just awakened. She is a little extreme. Use your kindness to influence her." Barlow took a sip of the dark red liquid in the cup, which exuded a faint scent of blood.

Luo Youyou also took a sip and found that this blood was much lighter than human blood. It looked good, but it didn't taste delicious.

"Sometimes I don't even know whether I am kind or evil." Luo Youyou almost buried her head in the cup.

"Goodness and evil are just your own preferences. As long as you are happy, that's fine."

Luo Youyou felt that Barlow's words were ambiguous. As long as she was happy, that meant that even if another soul devoured her current self, even if the world was destroyed, as long as she was happy, it would be fine.

"Don't you care which soul controls this body?" Luo Youyou challenged Barlow's authority in such a tone for the first time.

Barlow frowned slightly, a little displeased, "You are my daughter."

Luo Youyou didn't know if Barlow was answering or not, but she felt her heart chilled. "I am your daughter. No matter what my consciousness is, I am still your daughter. How could I have forgotten that you are the Demon Lord who destroyed the heavens, the Lord of the Dark Night..."
