Given that my previous attempts to escape had failed, I didn't want to cause any more trouble this time, so I obediently let them do as they pleased.
When my second aunt's husband saw me, he wasn't surprised. On the contrary, he seemed a little excited. His eyes looked like those of a starving wolf seeing its prey, which made me feel uneasy for no reason.
He took out an ancient stone tablet from his sleeve, formed a hand seal and cast a spell towards the largest and thickest jacaranda tree in the garden, shouting:
"This unworthy descendant, Ye Wufeng, respectfully requests the Holy Ancestor Mother to descend and return to the Heavenly Realm."
Upon seeing this, everyone who came to witness the ceremony knelt down and joined their second aunt's husband in calling out.
My older cousin forced me to kneel down.
He seemed very nervous, holding me tightly behind him as if he was very wary of his father.
"Now I have offered the blood of the Demon Princess Feng Chaoruo as a sacrifice. I beg the Cherry Blossom Master to open the gate between life and death and summon the soul of my Holy Ancestor Granny back."
As I struggled to stand up, my body involuntarily began to float forward.
"No, Father, you promised me that just a little bit of her blood would be enough. You promised me you wouldn't hurt her."
Despite my older cousin's frantic attempts to fight back against my father, I was eventually taken to the jacaranda tree by my second aunt's husband.
Sharp blades came at me from all directions, as if I were about to be sliced into pieces at any moment.
Although my older cousin did his best to free me from my restraints, it seems to be of no use in my current state. All I can do is close my eyes and wait for death to come.
But then a blue figure appeared out of nowhere in my mind, along with these girls who looked like jacaranda flowers. She told me that I couldn't die yet, that I still had an unfinished mission waiting for me to complete, and that I should pick up my sword and fight back.
At that moment, my memory started to get a little confused.
I seemed to have a very long dream. In the dream, I saw a thin, blue figure holding a long sword. With a single slash towards the sky, he shattered that world. Immediately afterward, the earth shook violently, and the land covered with jacaranda flowers vanished.
The blue-clad figure collapsed to her knees, utterly exhausted. She turned to look at me, smiled, a trace of blood on her lips, and then vanished in a shower of fluorescent light.
"No, Father, no!"
I was awakened by my older cousin's heart-wrenching screams.
The expected pain did not come; instead, the person covered in needles became my older cousin.
He drained his own blood and safely protected me behind him.
I don't understand why he's so obsessed with me; I don't remember ever being close to him.
I don't understand why someone would fall for someone who constantly teases them.
Why are you so persistent? There's no need for this between us.
He seemed struck by lightning, remaining silent, but his grip tightened even more, almost to the point of bleeding to death. His second uncle frowned, summoned a spear, and charged at his eldest cousin.
"Anyone who obstructs the arrival of my Holy Ancestor today is my enemy, even if you are my own son."
Seeing that the figure in front of me was about to be pierced by the spear, I didn't have time to think and summoned the Netherworld Divine Fire to grab the spear coming towards me.
And it seemed that they had actually caught it. The next moment, the magic power that had been missing for so long seemed to return in an instant, and even their bodies became golden and shiny.
"That's impossible! How could you possibly catch the spear passed down from my witch grandmother?"
