Chapter 98 098 How dare you, cat! You dare touch my head! ...
Yu Meng's reincarnation is not an ordinary one; in each of her lives, she uses her divine essence as a vessel. When the divine essence is destroyed, her soul dissipates. For some unknown reason, she was able to retain a tiny remnant of her divine essence after it dissipated. After being nurtured for several lifetimes, her divine essence has now been restored to its bright and dazzling state.
It was only thanks to such a complete and powerful divine essence that the demonic power was able to be neutralized.
As Zhiwei followed Yun Tianjiao's divine essence into the blood lake, she watched helplessly as the beautiful divine essence gradually disintegrated, turning into countless points of light that scattered in all directions.
"Your Highness..."
He used all his strength to bind those points of light, forcing them to regroup and stick together.
However, forcibly gathering the nearly dissipated divine energy is tantamount to going against the will of Heaven. Dark clouds gathered in the sky above Wanxi Land, and faint thunder could be heard from the horizon.
Zhiwei soon felt a splitting headache, difficulty breathing, and his limbs and bones felt as if they were being pulled by some powerful force, as if they were going to tear him to pieces.
His survival instinct compelled him to withdraw his spiritual power and leave the area as quickly as possible.
But he refused.
No matter what, he refused to let her go.
If living meant losing her forever, he would rather not live.
"Desire to dream..."
Zhiwei felt as if she were being crushed by a mountain, and with a fierce determination, she squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth, as if she were reciting the name of an enemy.
This time, don't think you can just walk away like that...
A deafening rumble of thunder erupted, and dark clouds pressed heavily down on the ground.
Zhiwei's eyes were bloodshot, his intact right index finger began to become mutilated little by little, and his whole body became thinner and weaker, gradually returning to the appearance of the young Cang Han before his death.
This is a symptom of your ghostly power being nearly exhausted!
"Your Highness, I said that as long as I am here, you will no longer be troubled by the curse..."
He grinned almost maliciously as he poured all his ghostly power into Yu Meng's divine essence, in a mad attempt to transform the divine essence into ghost essence!
Lightning flashed across the sky, and bolts of thunder began to crash down, striking Zhiwei and Yumeng's divine essence.
Even under the tribulation of lightning, Zhiwei refused to release the divine essence of Yumeng until the heavenly lightning split the divine essence in two. The part belonging to the Heavenly Venerable's divine essence dissipated into the world, but left behind a ghost-like ghost essence, which Zhiwei firmly locked in.
Seeing that her plan was about to succeed, Zhiwei took advantage of her last bit of consciousness to push the ghost energy into Yun Tianjiao's body.
Perhaps it was because Yun Tianjiao's body, after being cleansed and purified by divine essence for more than ten years, could no longer withstand the power of the ghost spirit. The ghost essence was so repulsive to her body that they could not be integrated.
This newly formed ghost essence carried the power of Zhiwei accumulated over hundreds of years, making it extremely powerful. However, since it wasn't cultivated from its own body, it couldn't remain separated from its vessel in the mortal realm for too long. But Zhiwei was already at her limit, with no strength left to sustain it.
At this moment, the Blood Lake had been completely purified by Yu Meng's divine essence. He and Yun Tianjiao were pushed to the side of a stream, where a small black wildcat appeared out of nowhere and came to drink water.
Through his blurred vision, Zhiwei saw someone approaching with an umbrella. With a gentle push, the ghost energy was transferred into the small black cat beside him. He felt this scene was very familiar, as if something similar had happened before, but he couldn't remember what it was, and finally lost consciousness completely.
The person holding the umbrella made a sweeping motion, setting up a magic array that led to the Netherworld, teleporting Zhiwei and the little black cat there together.
...
Yun Tianjiao did not expect to wake up. She seemed to be lying on a bamboo-woven bed. The bed was not covered with the silk brocade she usually used in Chang Le Palace, but with the fur of some kind of animal.
Her first thought was, "Where am I?" She had never seen such strange beds and bedding in Chang Le Palace. However, a more pressing question soon began to trouble her—
Why is she lying down?
This is not the graceful sleeping posture that a princess should possess.
Yun Tianjiao struggled to open his eyes and tentatively called out, "Chunxi."
But what came out of her throat was a meow.
Yun Tianjiao was instantly startled awake. She suddenly sat up, but found that she couldn't even put her bottom on the ground, so she couldn't "sit up". After struggling for a while, she could only put her hands and feet on the ground.
Then she saw her four furry black paws.
Yun Tianjiao: "..."
Unconvinced, she tried to speak out again—
"Meow—"
Yun Tianjiao: "..."
She finally had to accept a reality.
She seems to have transformed into a black cat!
What she had initially thought was a bamboo bed turned out to be just a basket. Or more accurately, it was actually a...cat bed?
As expected of the eldest princess, Yun Tianjiao quickly calmed down from the shock of turning into a cat. She lightly jumped out of the cat bed and began to look around her "territory" while thinking about her current situation.
The decor and layout of this place don't resemble the mortal world; rather, it has a style reminiscent of the underworld or ghost realm.
Yun Tianjiao initially thought he had died and been reborn, but unfortunately, he was reborn as a cat from the Netherworld.
But she quickly realized something was wrong. Based on her previous experience, if she were to be reborn, she should have a vague memory of the life of the eldest princess of Yun Chi Kingdom. However, this time when she woke up, she remembered every single thing that Yun Tianjiao had experienced clearly.
Especially when she offered sacrifices to the lake, Zhiwei rushed over. Every detail of his expression seemed to be deeply imprinted in her mind, making her feel heartache, guilt, and pain.
Just then, the door to her room was suddenly opened from the outside, and two maids dressed as palace maids walked in. When they saw the empty cat bed, they couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" However, they quickly discovered the princess who was squatting in the corner deep in thought, and their surprise turned into joy.
"Oh dear, this little guy is already awake." One of the palace maids walked over happily, bent down and picked up the little black cat.
Suddenly, with all four claws in the air, Yun Tianjiao kicked and thrashed wildly, completely unaccustomed to the situation.
Release me! I am not a cat!
"Oh, it's got quite a temper." The little palace maid hugged the little black cat and stroked its head a couple of times to comfort it.
Yun Tianjiao: "..."
How dare you! You dare touch my head!
Since being born as the eldest princess of Yunchi Kingdom, no one has ever dared to treat Yun Tianjiao like this. She continued to struggle, trying to escape from the "clutches" of this little palace maid.
If you don't let go, I'll scratch you! But you're such a delicate little girl, I really can't bear to hurt you, so let go!
But no matter how righteous Yun Tianjiao was, the two palace maids just made a lot of noise.
"This little guy is awake. I wonder when our Ghost King will wake up."
Upon hearing the keyword, Yun Tianjiao suddenly fell silent.
Your Majesty the Ghost King? Is that Zhiwei? What happened to him? Why is he unconscious?
"Hey? Should we take this little guy to His Majesty's palace? I heard that His Majesty was seriously injured in the mortal realm and was already delirious when he appeared at General Youwei's mansion. He only had this little black cat by his side. Now that it's awake, maybe His Majesty will sense it and wake up sooner."
"Oh my, look! When His Majesty is mentioned, this little guy seems to be listening intently. He's really got a knack for it!"
With Zhiwei on his mind, Yun Tianjiao stopped moving and barking. He opened his round cat eyes and quietly looked up at the two little palace maids.
"Do you want to see His Majesty?" the young palace maid holding her asked tentatively.
Yun Tianjiao nodded quickly.
"That's strange! Could this cat have developed sentience? It actually understands what we're saying!"
The palace maid was overjoyed. After discussing it briefly, the two of them carried Yun Tianjiao and headed towards the Ghost King's palace.
