"Then I'll wait and see." Barlow narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face. He took another crystal glass, poured half a glass of dark red liquid into it and handed it to Luo Youyou. The two glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, accompanied by the laughter of both people.

Luo Youyou still said goodbye to Barlow with indifference and alienation, and disappeared in the magnificent hall. The hall was filled with a faint fragrance, mixed with Luo Youyou's aroma, and this smell did not dissipate with Luo Youyou's departure.

The smile on Barlow's face faded. He rolled up his trouser legs and discovered that black rosa-sinensis had also appeared on his ankles, domineeringly entwining with the red spider lily. It was a mark he had sealed away for so long, and it had reappeared with Luo Youyou's rebirth...

The Mu family's manor had been silent for a long time, but it exploded on such a night. When Luo Youyou came back, they were still discussing countermeasures, which made Luo Youyou unhappy.

When she lost her temper, the weeds in the Mu family compound withered, a patchwork of withered yellow that stretched to the horizon. They didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that Luo Youyou would lose her temper again and they would be the ones to wither.

"Why haven't Yue Shenxun's 20,000 troops arrived yet?" Luo Youyou found that she had not seen Yue Shenxun's figure, and her anger grew stronger. They clearly felt that she was restraining herself.

"We encountered an ambush by Jiayi on the way and suffered heavy losses. We are now adjusting." Mo Yu explained quickly.

"Waste." Luo Youyou was not annoyed after hearing this, but just made a light conclusion.

"I don't need any trash here. Anyone who wants to leave can leave now." Luo Youyou glanced around proudly. Seeing that no one moved, he continued, "While I'm still in the mood, I can let you go. This is your only chance."

Still, no one moved. After the lively discussion, everyone agreed that Luo Youyou's change of temperament was only temporary, that the devil's power had sealed the original Luo Youyou, and they would eventually find a way to awaken her. Little did they know that the Luo Youyou before them was truly complete, a Luo Youyou with only one soul.

Seeing that no one was leaving, Luo Youyou rarely showed a smile that was a little bit warm. "It's almost dawn, let's go today. Come with me to level Lingyu Mountain tomorrow."

Everyone scattered and fled the room like birds and beasts, only Yuri and Langbai looked back every few steps.

Xiaozhuang's words were still ringing in their ears, and they were eager to know who Luo Youyou loved at this moment.

But Luo Youyou didn't even raise her eyelids, waved her hand impatiently, and the door slammed shut, locking the two people outside.

Yuri and Langbai exchanged a silent glance, yet they saw endless sadness in each other's eyes. Love? Did she even know what love was? It was a war between two people, and they had lost miserably, defeated by their "trophies."

Luo Youyou leisurely took a hot bath to wash away all her fatigue. The steam filled the bathroom, making everything in front of her seem illusory.

For the first time, she felt complete, with all the strength in her body at her disposal. She no longer had to worry about her abilities failing or a force emerging from nowhere that would cause her to lose control.

Without hesitation, without vulnerability, without the shackles of emotion, she felt at ease at the moment...

The fiery red sun cast its last rays of light onto the earth, dyeing the world red. This ray of light struggled on the horizon and finally fell, plunging the world into darkness.

Luo Youyou stretched, but did not join everyone else. Instead, she went to the cloakroom, where there were clothes prepared for Mu Yaxi. There were all kinds of clothes, most of which were new and were treasures from various famous teachers.

Her fingers slid across the neatly arranged skirts, finally stopping at a black strapless miniskirt made of silk with delicate patterns embroidered with black thread, making the skirt look low-key yet luxurious.

She changed into a skirt, found an exquisitely cut diamond necklace and put it on her swan-like white neck, put on a fiery red lipstick, looked in the mirror but was still not satisfied. She found a pair of silver high heels on the rows of shoe racks and left the cloakroom satisfied.

In the living room on the first floor, everyone was talking in low voices, so quietly that she could barely hear them. The moment she walked down the stairs, all was silent.

Everything in the world was dim at this moment, except for Luo Youyou who was walking slowly.

In the past, Luo Youyou never cared about her clothes, always dressing comfortably and never deliberately trying to dress up. Now, just a dress and a touch of red lipstick can elevate her beauty to a new level. Everything is just right, neither too deliberate nor too casual.

Luo Youyou walked through the group of people without looking around, walked to the yard, opened the gate to the underworld, summoned an army of spirit beasts, and rode on the back of a spirit snake.

Everything went smoothly and the army set off silently.

Lingyu Mountain was still filled with the stench of decay. The corpses left over from the last war had begun to rot, and some had already turned to dust.

Luo Youyou gently covered her nose with one hand, and drew a circle on the ground with the index finger of the other hand. Then she hooked her finger lightly, and the ground seemed to be hooked into a hole. Countless corpse-eating worms swarmed out instantly. Those corpse-eating worms rushed out of the hole desperately as if they had received an imperial decree, and soon covered the entire land and the corpses on the land.

The corpse was dragged back to the hole by the corpse-eating worms. After a while, the battlefield was cleared. The corpse-eating worms scrambled to crawl back to the hole. The hole entrance was buried by the ground, and everything returned to peace.

The stench became lighter, but the army of spirit beasts did not stop. They followed the scent of Cersei and marched deeper into Feather Mountain.

The closer they got to Circe, the more human corpses they saw on the road. They were randomly abandoned in the mountains and forests, with peaceful expressions, and some even had smiles on their faces.

"What do they do with humans?" Luo Youyou broke the silence and turned to ask Mo Yu.

Moyu followed at the end of the group. He quickly ran over and explained, "Cersei needs to absorb human souls to maintain her youthful appearance."

Luo Youyou smiled contemptuously and didn't ask any further questions. "So you're just a shy woman."

Witches are not immortal. Witches in the human realm only live a few decades longer than ordinary people. Witches in the demon realm, due to their purer bloodlines, live for around three hundred years. The Witch Emperor can obtain the ultimate magic, extending their lifespan to five hundred years.

The black witch broke this rule and practiced forbidden spells, violating the rules set by the Creator God. She used black magic to exchange souls and bodies with other life forms to continue her life. The price she paid was that she became increasingly ugly and her body continued to rot, so she needed to change bodies more frequently.

But Circe is different. Her life is eternal. She was cursed for betraying the God of Creation, but her eternal life does not have an unchanging appearance.
