âIn this case, you do not have to worry too much. When a cultivator reaches a certain point, they will always have a opportunity to be reborn to a new life if their soul isnât destroyed. I will help you locate State Teacherâs new self and let the both of you continue your story. And since you left your beast pearl inside his soul, you wonât have to wait long.â Bai Yan only needed a glance to realize what the demon princess has done.
âI understand Sister-in-law.â Biting her lips into a thin line, Di Xiao Wanâs eyes still contained an unmistakable glint of sorrow: âYou donât need to worry about me, I will not do anything foolish during this period. If I follow State Teacher then I wonât be able to remember him, by then how am I supposed to reunite with him in the future? I wonât die, I wonât let anything get in my way.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Therefore, no matter how painful it was to survive on her own, she would not die. Twenty years, that timeframe was nothing to a demonâs lifespan.
âThatâs good to hear, itâs relieving to hear youâre able to think positively.â Bai Yan raises her hand to bring the princess into a warm hug, knowing full well how much it hurts regardless of the strong front she portrayed. âXiao Wan, I will always be here so you donât need to bear all the pain on your own.â
Making a slight tremble at the kind words, âSister-in-law, I know, I know.... I promise to protect myself and not do anything stupid. So... so... donât leave me please...â Closing her eyes, Di Xiao Wanâs figure was so frail and weak that it looked like she could be blown away by a mere gust of wind.
State Teacher has already died, if anything happens to Di Cang or Bai Yan, or even worse, the kids.... It doesnât take much to imagine what would happen then to the demon princess. She would likely lose her mind and commit suicide with them.
âOkay, I promise to not leave you. Weâll all live together for many years to come.â Bai Yan caresses the demon princessâs hair, her voice consoling and gentle like how she does to her own children, âIn return, you must promise me to better yourself Xiao Wan, you will grow stronger and kinder so that when you meet your State Teacher, he wonât be able to forget you, okay?â
Letting a trickle of tear to come out of her eye, Di Xiao Wan tries to hold back her own sobbing: âI will.... Twenty years, by then I will let State Teacherâs new self be dazzled by my glory. I will make him fall heads over heels for me again.â
âLetâs take State Teacherâs body back to the palace first, we need to prepare his funeral and send his soul properly...â Bai Yanâs gaze slowly fell down to the already cold corpse, her hands unintentionally clenching up as the anger swirled within those irises.
I will find the ones responsible for this. They will not hide from me even if they run to the end of the world, Blood for blood, life for life!
âMmm, Iâll listen to your decision Sister-in-law....â
Perhaps those words did have an effect and cheered up the demon princess. Right as Di Xiao Wan wanted to pull herself up, something incredible occurred. State Teacherâs body suddenly became enshrouded in a brilliant white glow and in the corpseâs place was now a silvery fox lying on the girlâs lap.
