He turned around and saw a streak of bright red hair that looked like flames.
...It’s Naraku.
When he turned around, Su Mingan had already anticipated what kind of face he would see.
…That should be a young and beautiful face like a red rose.
She is young and energetic, bright as the wind, and when she speaks she is naturally domineering like a young lady, but she is not annoying.
She would grin and call herself "Miss" and say she would kill him on the Art.
[From now on, you will never meet a woman who loves you as much as I do! ]
He still remembers her thunderous opening words.
...But the moment he turned around, he saw a face that was completely different from what he remembered.
Under her hair that was as bright as dancing flames, her slender eyes were looking at him. Her pupils were cloudy, the whites of her eyes were yellow, and her originally fair skin was full of wrinkles.
It was a face with protruding cheekbones, extremely old, and even the light in the eyes was gone.
Her fiery red hair, which symbolizes youth and boldness, makes her face, which looks like that of a centenarian, look particularly out of place.
"…Ms. Naraku?"
Su Mingan called out the name with some disbelief.
"It's me." Naraku spoke, and her voice was still the familiar voice of a young girl. Seeing his surprised expression, she smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, you still recognize me. I thought you would treat me as an old lady."
"Ms. Naraku, why are you…"
"Don't call me Miss." Naraku restrained his smile.
The light flickered on her aging face, and her cloudy pupils turned, hiding a hint of water in her eyes.
"The Arte sank." Her voice was a little choked, but she still had a smile on her face: "I can't go home in this state, and I'm no longer a lady. I don't care if you are the mastermind behind it, or why the Arte sank. I only know that you saved me."
"So." She locked eyes with him: "I'm here to save you."
"Save me?"
"You saw my face, didn't you? It was that guy... the so-called Tulip Princess... that son of a bitch swordsman who did it." Naraku gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "She was doing an experiment, absorbing the vitality of others to replenish her own life... It's disgusting. After the Art sank, she captured me and sent me to her secret laboratory. There were many outsiders like me imprisoned there. I was tortured in the laboratory and my vitality was sucked away by her. During this process, I heard her conversation."
Su Mingan listened carefully.
"What did you talk about?"
"——They said that you are their ultimate target." Naraku spoke very quickly: "They called 'Su Lin', your name, I thought it should be you, so I came to find you, you can't be caught by them——"
"Wait." Su Mingan stopped.
Naraku turned around and stared at him.
"You said Princess Tulip is going to attack me?" Su Mingan asked.
He didn't expect to get such an answer.
If there was anyone who had helped him the most so far, it was Princess Tulip.
Princess Tulip pardoned Shelude's crime, spared the Garde family, granted him the position of Shadow Soul Hunter leader, and allowed him to lead the Soul Clan. She almost pushed him to help him control the overall situation.
...Now, this Miss Naraku who suddenly appeared told him that Princess Tulip wanted to harm him?
"Yes - I think even if I'm this old and hard of hearing, I shouldn't be able to hear your name clearly." Naraku was so angry that he began to grind his teeth: "It was your name that was called, that guy... must have wanted to hurt you."
"Then how did you escape?" Su Mingan asked.
"Family secret." Naraku showed a pocket watch in his hand.
She stared at the red pocket watch in her hand that was clicking and laughed. Her laugh was a little creepy: "...She definitely didn't expect that I had a trick up my sleeve. I'm a lady from the Mir family."
Su Mingan looked at the pocket watch in her hand.
…
[Blood Seal Pocket Watch of the Mir Kris Family (Epic Quality)
Type: Teleporting item
Effect: Call a person's name and you will be teleported to that person immediately (the teleportation range is limited to 10 kilometers).
This item can only be used three times. Each time it is used, one third of the blood in the body is lost. It will be damaged after three uses (current number of uses: 1/3)
Introduction: "True love will not make people regret." Mir Chris said this before she shed her last drop of blood. 】
…
Epic props.
Su Mingan's eyes were fixed on the watch.
Teleportation items have always been extremely valuable, let alone an item that can be directly teleported to a designated target without the other party's consent. Whether it is for protection or assassination, this is a magical tool.
It's a pity that it can only be used three times, and Naraku has already used it once, so there are only two more chances to use the item before it is damaged.
Naraku noticed his gaze.
She smiled:
"Do you like it? Do you want me to give it to you?" Her tone was slightly regretful: "But my mother said that this thing will become my dowry, it's very precious..."
She tapped her fingers on the bright red cover of her pocket watch.
...But at this moment, even the fingers looked extremely old, with blue and red blood vessels crawling on the thin layer of skin on the back of the hand like a python, and the red nails that young girls liked looked particularly abrupt on them.
She seemed to notice her hand as well, and suddenly pulled it back into her sleeve, then turned sideways as if nothing had happened.
