Under the moonlight, their figures and the runes on the ground reflected each other.
It looked both mysterious and eerie, when suddenly a cold wind blew by.
The candlelight flickered violently, as if some unseen energy was approaching.
Wu Hua's eyes sharpened, and he increased the force of shaking the bell.
The incantation he uttered grew increasingly rapid, attempting to guide the lost soul back to its body.
Qin Luo held the incense stick steadily in her hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She couldn't understand the incantation before, but she could hear it clearly this time.
"Tumen An, the only daughter of the Tumen family, disrespected the auspicious beast. I lured it with an elbow, and I initially forgave her. However, she changed her mind halfway through, causing me physical and mental distress. Therefore, I have punished her by forbidding her from eating meat for eighteen years..."
Qin Luo…
She wanted to manually shut Wu Hua's mouth, but she was afraid he would cast the curse on her.
Eighteen years, that's eighteen years! She felt anxious if she didn't eat meat for ten days or half a month.
She hasn't eaten meat for eighteen years; it would be better to skin her alive right now.
To satisfy her cravings, she could only pretend she hadn't heard anything.
Just then, the bronze mirror placed on the altar...
Suddenly a burst of light appeared, and the reflection in the mirror was blurry.
A blurry figure seemed to be slowly taking shape.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua exchanged a glance, needing no words.
Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the summoning of spirits succeeded by accident! The two suppressed their excitement.
Continuing the ritual, each step and each incantation was performed with even greater focus.
Until the figure in the mirror gradually became clear and overlapped with the physical body.
As Wu Hua finished her final incantation, the two held their breath in concentration.
Everything around seemed to freeze, then a very subtle...
Yet, the sound of breathing could be clearly heard in the quiet of the night.
The man slowly opened his eyes, looking at Qin Luo and Wu Hua with a confused expression.
His appearance seemed both innocent and somewhat foolish.
The two walked up to him and waved their hands in front of his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't react, Qin Luo nudged Wu Hua with his elbow.
"Sweetie, we're not going to fail, are we?"
Wu Hua reached out her small hand and poked the man's face.
"No, his eyes are moving again, so his soul must have returned."
"Then why isn't he saying anything? Could it be that his soul has been separated from his body for too long and he's gone mad?"
"No way, are we that unlucky? Should we ask someone who knows about this?"
Qin Luo fully agreed with his suggestion and took out the spider lily to ask him questions.
The man suddenly spoke.
"May I ask who you two are?"
Qin Luo was once again struck by his sweet voice.
"I originally thought you were possessed by a dust demon, which is why you made such a terrible noise. I didn't expect you were like this all along."
Wu Hua, on the other hand, found it quite interesting.
"Can you sing? The kind that's a bit more powerful?"
The man didn't seem to understand the sense of contrast.
"Bold and unrestrained? Doesn't that seem a bit off?"
"What we're aiming for is to catch people off guard. If you don't know how, that's okay. I'll teach you when I have time."
"Okay, okay."
The two chatted as if no one else was around, and Qin Luo then reached out and separated them.
"Can't you two say something useful?"
Wu Hua tilted her head to look at her.
"What is useful?"
The man also tilted his head, mimicking Wu Hua's posture.
"Yes, what is useful?"
Qin Luo…
She first pulled Wu Hua aside and stared directly at the man.
"Who are you? What's your name? Where do you live? Where are you from? Why were you captured by the Dust Demon?"
The man didn't hide anything, and after sighing...
He then revealed everything about himself; his name was Su Sha Hu.
They are from Jinyan City in the Xiyou Kingdom, a border city between the Xiyou Kingdom and the Jingyue Kingdom.
Although no formal war has broken out there, the area is constantly subjected to surprise attacks and harassment by soldiers from the Jingyue Kingdom.
The people in the city were suffering terribly, and those who could leave had all left.
Because of his unattractive physique and enormous appetite, he had been unable to find a good wife.
Therefore, he was disliked by his family members, to the point that when they moved...
Even the family dog was brought along, leaving him behind while he was fast asleep.
Later, he had to find a way to support himself, but his appearance was simply too eye-catching.
No shopkeeper wanted to hire him; instead, they all mocked and insulted him behind his back.
Those soldiers always made fun of him, treating him like pigs and dogs.
He was subjected to constant humiliation and abuse, and when the enemy attacked, he was even dragged outside the city.
Thrown into the ranks of the Jingyue Kingdom's soldiers, he thought he was doomed.
Unexpectedly, he was rescued by a young soldier who not only provided him with enough food and clothing.
He also showed others the respect they deserved, just when he thought his suffering was finally over.
Another ordeal had already begun; he was taken to the border of the Pure Moon Kingdom.
Every day, I trained my physique with the soldiers and learned the language of Jingyue Kingdom from the strategist.
He had a fulfilling and colorful period of time, but gradually he began to realize that something was wrong.
His former strategist suddenly disappeared, replaced by a voluptuous and licentious male prostitute.
The content taught each day is becoming increasingly unbearable to listen to.
Although he was not married, the humiliation he had suffered in Xiyou was still a result of his actions.
It not only gave him an understanding of matters between men and women, but also made him deeply hate...
Now that someone has specially come to teach him these things, even a fool could figure out what he needs to do next.
But he was in enemy territory, helpless and afraid of death.
So the only path left for him was to be obedient and compliant; he would learn whatever others told him to learn.
He would serve whoever he was told to.
He endured this living hell for more than half a year, until he was left battered and bruised in the snowy wilderness.
He was rescued again and brought back to Emberflame City. This time, the person who rescued him...
