These words were like a ray of warm sunshine, shining directly into Ming Zhao's heart.
"Really? You really thought that way?"
"Of course, I swear, I want to take you back to meet my family and friends, and to see the village full of blooming peonies."
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhao fell silent again. She also longed to be like a normal person and go with Qin Luo to see the place she had mentioned.
But unfortunately, she'll probably never be able to leave this little world for the rest of her life.
"You knew I couldn't go..."
"You can go, you can go. The illusion was created by the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm. He told me that it can help you purify your resentment."
Ming Zhao looked at Qin Luo as if he were a fool.
"My dear sister, you've probably been deceived by him."
Qin Luo was stunned by her words.
"What? I've been tricked? No way, Heaven wouldn't lie to me..."
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhao's eyes were filled with mockery.
"Sister, have you forgotten what I was born from? I was resentment, countless resentful energies. He helped me purify the resentment, but only to make me disappear little by little?"
This was something Qin Luo had never considered, and she didn't believe that Heaven would do such a thing.
"No, no..."
Just as she was processing her previous conversation with the Heavenly Dao in her mind, the large bell that was holding the two of them suddenly began to spin wildly.
Then, the ethereal and pure chanting of the buds flowed in one after another.
Qin Luo didn't feel any discomfort, but Ming Zhao was already in great pain.
She glared at Qin Luo with resentment, her words sharp and cutting.
"Sister, oh sister, is this what you meant by not harming me?"
Seeing her in such pain, Qin Luo felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
She held Mingzhao tightly, frantically channeling her healing power into her body, trying to make her feel a little better.
Wu Hua was completely bewildered when he was pushed out. He first circled around the clock twice.
Then, after calling Qin Luo's name a few times in his mind and receiving no response, he shouted towards the place where the Heavenly Dao had just disappeared.
"Come out here, all of you! Why did you suddenly start this? Luo Luo and I weren't prepared at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao appeared before him with two beasts.
“I didn’t want to either, but something happened outside the small world. The magical artifacts used to seal it have loosened. If we don’t trap the vengeful spirits first, the human world will be doomed once the entrance connecting the two worlds is opened.”
Wu Hua never expected things to turn out this way.
"Won't this clock harm Luo Luo?"
"Of course not, this is the Haotian Bagua Bell, a divine artifact among divine artifacts. It will only affect evil things and will be beneficial to Qin Luo."
His words reassured Wu Hua, but then she became somewhat worried again.
"Won't Ming Zhao die? You said you wouldn't take her life."
Upon hearing this, Heaven did not answer his question directly, but instead summoned the sprout.
“Let’s speed things up. I’m afraid those magical artifacts outside won’t last long. Have this little tree use its chanting to help.”
His interruption made Wu Hua a little flustered.
"Good, good, Yamiao, quickly join forces with Na Zhong and suppress Ming Zhao."
Upon receiving his instruction, the seedlings began to sing without saying a word.
She got really into singing, while Ming Zhao was in excruciating pain. Qin Luo had hoped she would be protected by the Xuanming Fan.
My healing power shouldn't have had any effect on her, but it almost killed her.
Terrified, she dared not give Ming Zhaozhi any more, and could only anxiously pat the bell wall from the side.
Despite the pain, Ming Zhao didn't show any weakness in his words.
"Is this what you wanted to see? My dear sister? What good would it do you if I died? If I hadn't taken the blame for you, do you think you'd even have a next life?"
Qin Luo's already guilty heart was pierced by her words. She had always known that Ming Zhao was the most innocent one.
Born burdened with the karma of Ming Yi and himself, he didn't even have a chance to say no.
"I'm sorry, how can I help you?"
Ming Zhao seemed to have been waiting for her to say those words.
“I can break the contract with the sea creatures, but you will have to be bound to me from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's eyes widened suddenly. Seeing this, Ming Zhao launched into another round of mockery at her.
"What? You don't want to? Didn't you say you were happy to have me as your sister? If you're so happy, then why don't you want to be bound to me?"
Qin Luo was stunned for a moment before replying to her.
“I can’t hurt Zai Zai. He has sacrificed so much for me. I have a soul contract with him. If I were to bind myself to you, it would inevitably implicate him. So I cannot agree to your request.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhao let out a cold laugh.
"What if I had a way to sever your soul bond?"
Qin Luo hadn't expected her to have this trick up her sleeve.
"How do I cut it off? Will it hurt the baby?"
"No, it will only hurt you."
Qin Luo didn't care much about that, but she had promised Wu Hua that she would stay with him for all eternity.
She had already broken her promise several times; if she acted on her own again this time, Wu Hua would probably never forgive her.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."
After she finished speaking, Ming Zhao didn't show much emotion, as if he had expected it all along.
"Since you're unwilling, then don't blame me for being impolite."
As soon as she finished speaking, she shed her human form and transformed into wisps of resentment, which coiled around the Xuanming Fan.
In an instant, the two forces collided, and Qin Luo was slammed hard against the bell wall.
"Zhao'er, what are you doing?"
Ming Zhao found her question utterly ridiculous.
"What? God wants to kill me? Do you expect me to just sit here and wait to die?"
