A tortoise shell appeared within Xin Sui's soul.
The tortoise shell grew larger and larger until it completely covered her soul.
The soul fire was completely unable to harm the tortoise shell.
Not only that, the tortoise shell actually absorbed the soul fire!
Each time it devoured a soul fire, a patch of its dark, old color faded from the surface of its shell.
It became brand new and white, with a hint of pink in its whiteness.
Like being reborn from the ashes!
This tortoise shell is the very same embryonic shell that Longyuan gave to Xin Sui before.
The embryonic shell, after being imprinted on the inside of her wrist, became the key for her to enter and exit the space of the tortoise bead.
But the function of the dragon turtle's shell is not limited to this.
Xin Sui was the one who gave it a glimmer of hope; how could the dragon turtle let it die so easily?
Naturally, she should be protected.
However, this protection is aimed at her soul.
In the dragon turtle's view, the death of the physical body is not true death; it is the death of the soul.
Therefore, the primary thing to protect is her soul.
Xin Sui's soul was protected by the tortoise shell within the Soul-Seeing Lamp, and the terrifying aura surging around Xuan Tu finally subsided.
He glanced at Huang Que without any emotion, then left instantly with the Soul Lamp.
Huang Que felt a tremor in her heart when Xuan Tu looked at her.
Although she didn't want to, she had to admit that she was frightened by this inferior race.
Huang Que bit her lip, struggled to get up, picked up her severed hand, and put it back in place.
He then took out a bottle of high-grade healing potion and poured it onto the wound.
The wound was burning with intense pain and itching.
It was even more painful than when my hand was cut off before.
She couldn't help but cry out, wishing she could just throw her severed hand away again.
She cursed Xuan Tu in her heart, wishing that he would never be able to win the heart of the one he loved.
Hmph, judging by how much he values that woman, he's probably doomed by her.
Hahaha, how ridiculous! He's a ruthless madman who kills without blinking an eye, yet he actually falls in love with someone.
She won't let him have his way!
By wantonly cursing Xuan Tu, Huang Que successfully diverted his attention.
By the time she realized it, the wound had already healed.
The severed hand was reattached.
She moved her wrists around; although they were a little sore, their flexibility hadn't decreased.
Huang Que summoned Styx again, entered the spiritual palace, and told him everything that had just happened.
Styx: "In that case, that woman is more valuable alive than dead. Perhaps one day she can become a powerful tool to control the Xuantu."
"As for her soul, it's alright to retrieve it later. I'll explain it to the High Priest."
"However, the Soul Lamp must not fall into Xuan Tu's hands. You must find a way to get it back."
The yellow bird nodded in agreement.
He rotated his wrist.
Although what entered here was a spiritual entity, it seemed that the pain in the body also came with it.
"Also, secretly investigate the whereabouts of the divine box."
"I sensed the divine box appearing in the north earlier, so I sent a blood butterfly to Xuantu to help him find that person's bloodline."
"With Xuan Tu's strength, he should have found the location by now, but two months have passed and there is still no trace of the Divine Box."
Huang Que: "Do you suspect that Xuan Tu is deliberately concealing something?"
Styx: "It's hard to say. I always feel that he will be a major obstacle to our birth."
Huang Que: "Hmph, you overestimate him."
"He is indeed very powerful among humans, but what will he be when our Inner Earth race is born?"
"If I weren't confined to this human body, I would definitely stomp his face into the ground."
The thought of being pinned to the ground by Xuan Tu and unable to lift her head made her feel humiliated.
She'll get her revenge sooner or later.
"Besides, didn't you take precautions from the beginning?"
"With the Heavenly Demon Gu here, no matter how strong he is, he is nothing more than our puppet."
Styx's furrowed brows relaxed.
"Hmm, you're right. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Go ahead."

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li..."
"Sister, sister..."
"Meow, meow..."
The calls, like a trio, grew louder as they approached, reaching my ears.
Xin Sui regained consciousness, her eyes moved, and she tried to open them.
But my eyelids felt like they were glued shut, and I couldn't open them no matter what I did.
When she woke up again, it was already night.
Xiaoming is sleeping on the left, and Jenny is lying on the right.
The leopard was curled up like a fluffy ball at her feet.
The three little ones surrounded her completely.
Xin Sui tried to move, but found her body was stiff and stiff, as if she had lost all connection below her neck.
"System, how long have I been asleep?"
[Half a month.]
"What?! How could I have slept for so long?"
No wonder she felt like her body wasn't even her own anymore.
[Because your soul is overfed and has been asleep. You remember what happened before, right?]
Xin Sui recalled.
The girl in the bar's... restroom stall... the girl had a pair of golden angel wings on her back...
At this point in his recollection, Xin Sui suddenly remembered—
"That girl who kidnapped me and extracted my soul from my body, isn't that Huang Que, the intelligence chief of the Star-Picking Alliance?"
Like Crimson Frost (Crimson Serpent), she is one of the seven high priests of the Earth's Core Clan.
[That's right.]
"After she pulled my soul out, it was sucked into a lamp, that lamp—"
[The Soul Lamp has the effect of nourishing the soul. It must be said, the Inner Earth Clan has quite a few good things.]
"Nourish the soul? Then how come I almost got burned to the point of my soul being scattered?"
The flames were as beautiful as the legendary Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and their power was just as formidable as the legends described.
