“So, let’s let them use these two crystals before we leave.”
Su Yuan nodded, placing the two crystals in the Qingming Realm first, then prepared to leave with Luo Bingtong.
Luo Bingtong waited quietly in place. Su Yuan turned around and said: “Bing Tong, let’s go…”
As Su Yuan turned around, the white-haired girl suddenly moved forward and gently bumped into his arms.
What?!
Su Yuan’s pupils narrowed slightly, and his heartbeat quickened a bit.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… The scene suddenly fell silent.
Only the soft warmth in his arms and the faint scent of mint lingered at his nose…
Su Yuan quickly regained his senses, looked down, and saw Luo Bingtong’s white neck, cheeks, and ear tips all turning a slight shade of red.
The mental bond between the two made Su Yuan feel her nervousness at the moment.
“This girl, she’s really trying hard…”
Su Yuan smiled, reached out to rub the girl’s head, and then held her tightly in his arms.
Luo Bingtong’s body tensed up instantly, but after a moment, she completely relaxed…
Su Yuan could feel that Luo Bingtong’s mood had become incredibly calm and joyful…
After a while, in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy,
A flash of black light, and Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong walked out from the Qingming Realm.
“Master!”
Ruan Ruan saw Su Yuan and Bing Tong come out, and immediately greeted them joyfully.
As for the Eight-winged Blazing Angel that had also stayed outside, it had already died when its Imperial Master John perished.
At this moment, Ruan Ruan was holding a white Star Core with holy flame patterns in her hand, which she had taken from the Blazing Angel’s corpse.
Su Yuan looked at the Star Core and asked: “Ruan Ruan, where is the Blazing Angel’s corpse?”
“I have already devoured it.”
“Mm… Well done.” Su Yuan surveyed the messy surroundings, then quickly opened a Space Gate with a Sealing gesture, “Let’s go.”
“Mm!”
The three of them stepped through the Space Gate, appearing by a secluded lakeside in the next instant.
Su Yuan looked at Ruan Ruan and asked, “Ruan Ruan, what was that state you were in earlier?”
Luo Bingtong, seemingly lost in thought, snapped back to reality when she heard Su Yuan’s question and looked at Ruan Ruan curiously.
Ruan Ruan also looked puzzled and conflicted, thinking for a moment before saying, “Since I devoured a large amount of crystal earlier, it seems that another consciousness appeared in my mind…”
Ruan Ruan didn’t hide anything from Su Yuan and told him everything about her changes and the sudden appearance of that “consciousness.”
After listening, Su Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Sure enough, it wasn’t Ruan Ruan earlier, and Su Yuan had some guesses about what it was…
To appear on Ruan Ruan and to have such an amazing utilization of the Power of Devouring…
“The Demon Emperor who mastered the Devouring Law…”
Su Yuan took a deep breath, feeling more serious.
Undoubtedly, the other consciousness appearing in Ruan Ruan must be this Demon Emperor, or rather, its residual consciousness from a previous life.
Su Yuan asked, “Ruan Ruan, what does ‘she’ want to do when she appears, will she devour you?”
Ruan Ruan thought for a moment, then shook her head: “No, it seems like I am her, she is another me, or rather… my other side.”
Su Yuan’s eyes showed thought: “Similar to the Gemini constellation’s two-in-one soul?”
Gemini, one body with two souls.
But Ruan Ruan’s situation was much better than having two souls, still being one soul, but with an additional consciousness from a past life.
For now, it didn’t seem to have a significant impact. In fact, when the Demon Emperor appeared, it could exert even greater power.
But Su Yuan was worried that the Demon Emperor’s consciousness might gradually erode Ruan Ruan over time.
Sensing Su Yuan’s concern, Ruan Ruan smiled: “Master, don’t worry, it will be fine.
Besides, she can’t come out on her own. I managed to wake her up this time only by using this Hexagonal Crystal!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan looked at Ruan Ruan and sternly instructed: “Ruan Ruan, unless absolutely necessary, do not let her come out again in the future.”
Although this matter had no solution at the moment, Su Yuan planned to return to the East Continent soon, where he could ask Fang Yu from the Sky Patrol Department to take a look at Ruan Ruan’s situation.
Fang Yu was aware of Ruan Ruan’s situation, and consulting such a strong person would be more reliable than Su Yuan worrying aimlessly!
At this moment, Ruan Ruan spoke again.
“Master, I seem to have found an evolutionary direction… Um, it should be ‘she’ who told me.”
“Oh?” Su Yuan’s heart moved, and he quickly asked, “How should you evolve?”
