"Hmm," Yue Chen nodded. "You recognize Blood Essence?" Yue Jinghua paused for a moment before finally asking. Yue Chen lowered his head, neither nodding nor shaking his head. In his eyes, a maelstrom of emotions swirled, complex beyond his age. Emotions kept accumulating, and the red birthmark on Yue Chen’s forehead became increasingly red. His eyes became empty, like a puppet devoid of feelings. As if sensing something, Yue Jinghua said loudly, "Thank you for your gift. I, as your sister, can’t just take something from you for nothing. Tell me what you want." A light shone briefly in the hollow eyes. Yue Jinghua smiled knowingly; children were indeed like that—mentioning gifts would make them instantly joyful. "Next time, don’t leave me behind," Yue Jinghua was stunned. This child... Yue Chen’s voice choked up, his eyes, like glass spheres, began to mist with tears. On such a night, within the collapsing temple, the woman with blood-soaked flesh vanished before his eyes, along with the ancient chant. The wailing baby was abandoned in the wilderness. A slightly cold hand grasped Yue Chen’s hand. Yue Jinghua squatted down, looking directly at him, "I won’t leave you, ever." Such was the scene, just like a certain dawn years ago, when the first light of Chenxi had just brightened the hopeless night sky. The resplendent man had lifted the baby high above his head. The man’s smile overlapped with the face of the girl before him. They shared the clearest eyes Yue Chen had ever seen, their smiles so bright and warm, reassuring. The two figures walked down the dark street, growing distant. The ethereal Spiritual Body floated in midair. Qing Pu watched Yue Chen’s retreating back, his expression deep, "Fickle woman, blinded by emotions once again." Qing Pu furrowed his brows. If he remembered correctly, the method to refine Blood Essence had been lost for a thousand years. Could it be the Chi Clan from the Otherworld? Recalling the scene in the Imperial Palace, Qing Pu’s golden pupils shrank. He thought he had sensed another aura near the Feise Empress Dowager’s palace, also belonging to the Alien Race. What secrets were hidden in the Eastern Continent, and why had races from the Foreign Continent continuously appeared here? Lost in thought, Qing Pu vanished upon sensing Yue Jinghua’s Summoning. Shortly after Yue Jinghua and the others had left, a streak of purple light flashed by. The woman of the Charming Clan, hatched from the Purple Lotus Seed, Ye Zi, appeared quietly. Ye Zi had watched the interaction between Yue Jinghua and Yue Chen attentively. Ye Zi sniffed disdainfully then headed toward Little Shang Palace. In a few swift movements, she arrived outside the Feise Empress Dowager’s chambers. After the Feise Empress Dowager’s chamber was damaged by Fire, she had temporarily moved to Fa Xiaoyi’s former quarters—the Wuchuan Palace. "I thought you wouldn’t bear to come back. Yue Nian, that Old Fox, is exceedingly adept at hiding. Who would have thought that a dumb mute would turn out to be the person the Charming Clan had been searching for years," A figure lay sprawled on a couch inside the chamber, not at all surprised by Ye Zi’s arrival. "This matter doesn’t require your intervention; do not ask too many questions. Here’s today’s portion," As Ye Zi’s sleeves fluttered, several dark red hues were delivered into the figure’s hands. The dark red Blood Essence didn’t seem as pure as the one refined by Yue Chen. The dark red turned into a mist of blood, which the person on the couch inhaled through their nose and mouth. Seeing that the person had nearly absorbed the Blood Essence, Ye Zi spoke again, "I need you to do me a favor—kill the woman called Yue Jinghua in the city." "Yue Jinghua?!" The person’s voice turned cold abruptly, and the Wuchuan Palace trembled with a hidden surge of bloodlight, bursting forth from the bed in an explosion. In the darkened palace, a figure stood up. "You don’t need to tell me; I will kill her myself. That vile woman deceived and framed me. Nobody knows that I have already broken through to the Heavenly Dark Realm. Once I refine the ’Blood Clothes’ to the Sixth Level, I could confront even a Dan Realm Expert. By then, not just Yue Jinghua, but the entire Shang Kingdom wouldn’t be worth a glance," The figure’s face, twisted with rage amidst the bloodlight, displayed a web of red veins across his originally staunchly handsome features. The Dark Energy around him surged like a frenzied serpent, increasing manifold. "One more thing, remember to keep our original promise after that matter is done, and return the sacred Sky Sun Shuttle to my clan," Ye Zi frowned slightly; in just a few days, Fa Xiaoyi’s "Blood Clothes" Dark Skill seemed to have made significant progress. "I keep my promises. Without the Earth Yin Escape, the Sky Sun Shuttle is of no use to me," Fa Xiaoyi spoke indifferently. "That’s best," In this blood-saturated aura, Ye Zi felt somewhat uncomfortable. She vanished in a flash, leaving the Wuchuan Palace behind. Fa Xiaoyi sat down to use his energy, and the bloodlight gradually receded, his face slowly returning to normal. In the empty palace, Fa Xiaoyi stood solemnly, his eyes filled with loneliness. Suddenly he formed a hand seal with one hand, muttering words under his breath. A Pentagram Array rose from beneath his feet. Within the Pentagram, the curtains fluttered, and a young woman emerged from the Summoning Array, her face as lovely as a peach blossom, her eyes filled with endless charm—it was the Feise Empress Dowager. She walked over slowly, her white arms wrapping around Fa Xiaoyi. "Mother, you alone care for me the most in this world. In a little while, you won’t have to be at the mercy of that beast Fa Xiaoyun any longer," Fa Xiaoyi embraced her and whispered softly. The Feise Empress Dowager smiled, silent, simply letting Fa Xiaoyi hold her. At the horizon, the dawn light mingled with the night, marking the darkest moment before the break of day.
