Chapter 216: Master and Little Demoness Sharpening Knives
As soon as the words were spoken, they instantly caught Zhou Tong’s attention.
“Senior Sister, what is this thing?”
“Ah!”
The Senior Apprentice Sister exclaimed and quickly hid the Golden Book of Seals behind her.
“Oh no, I was too careless.”
She was worried in her heart; her Junior Apprentice Brother didn’t know that she had mastered the authority of the Mountain Ghost Clan. She had intentionally kept it a secret—would he be angry?
Trembling with unease, she secretly glanced at Zhou Tong, only to see that his eyes were filled with affection and his mouth wore a teasing smile.
“Are you laughing at me? You knew all along, didn’t you?”
The Senior Sister fumed, embarrassed and angry.
“Haha, I suspected it ever since the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool. It was only after awakening my seal that I was certain—you are the destined princess of the Mountain Ghost Clan!”
“You annoying brat, you just wanted to see me make a fool of myself! I’ll bite you to death!”
The Senior Sister lunged at him, but Zhou Tong directly caught her.
“Calm down, Sister! Saving people is more important!”
With a single sentence, he pulled the Senior Sister back to reality.
“I know…”
Taking a deep breath and straightening her attire, she looked seriously at the Blue-clothed Girl.
“From now on, do you wish to join my Mountain Ghost Clan and be my royal guard, never to betray us?”
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately knelt on both knees, her expression earnest and sincere.
“I am willing!!
As the words fell, a whoosh echoed as the Golden Book of Seals opened, revealing the page that recorded the royal guards.
“Do you have a name?”
The Senior Sister asked with a gold pen in hand, smiling.
“The name of my past has been discarded. Since I have decided to leave the Xuanwu Clan, please bestow me a name, Your Majesty.”
“Lan Tian!”
Zhou Tong moved his lips and set the girl’s name.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
In the next moment, the Senior Sister wrote swiftly, filling in the girl’s name.
“Senior Sister, your handwriting is truly beautiful!”
“Flatterer!”
Zhang Chuqiao rolled her eyes at Zhou Tong, and then boundless light flowed, enveloping the girl, making her even clearer.
However, the next step was the crucial part. If they wanted Lan Tian to truly be reborn, they must trace back to the source and inject her with Yin-Yang blood and the Laws of Water.
Fortunately, both were already available!
Zhou Tong and the Senior Sister cut their fingers simultaneously, channeling their energies into the girl’s body.
Immediately, Zhou Tong began to chant the resurrection incantation and formed a hand seal.
“Life-Balance Dominion!”
Endless vitality began to gather from all directions, ready to help Lan Tian reshape her physical body.
“Boom!!”
At this moment, terrifying thunder surged from the Void, all aiming at Lan Tian to obliterate her, cutting off her path to rebirth.
This scenario was inevitable; resurrection was considered defying the heavens, and the calamity that ensued was incredibly frightening.
Zhou Tong was already prepared for this.
He noticed a Spirit Talisman dancing at his fingertips, its power surpassing that of a level nine talisman.
“Spirit Seal 95, Might-Displaying and Soul-Protecting Curse!”
This was a mysterious talisman, so powerful that it could help traverse through a Sage Tribulation. To carve the complete version, one would need the heartfelt blood of a Sage.
Fortunately, Lan Tian had not achieved Sage status in her previous life, and given that Zhou Tong’s strength had increased exponentially since then, the simplified talisman he inscribed was already sufficient.
“Go!”
That spirit talisman transformed into sparkling points of light, integrating into the thunderous calamity and instantly calming it down.
Having endured all the tribulations, Lan Tian finally completed her rebirth and gained a brand new body.
In the next moment, the energy and laws of Heaven and Earth gathered once again, causing her cultivation to emerge from nothing and rise wildly at a terrifying speed.
Under the watchful gaze of Zhou Tong and the Senior Sister, her realm broke through to the Cycle Realm before finally stopping!
This increase seemed exaggerated but was actually quite reasonable.
The heritage of the Xuanwu Clan, the faith of the Mountain Ghost Clan, along with the Yin-Yang bloodline and the authority of water, combined with the mysterious talisman and Lan Tian’s previous life accumulation—achieving the Cycle Realm was considered modest.
“I pay my respects to Father King, and Mother Queen!”
Lan Tian joyfully knelt in worship.
Before her rebirth, she could call Zhang Chuqiao ‘Sister,’ but after her rebirth, she had to change her address.
This was because everything she had now was granted by Zhou Tong and the Senior Sister, who were like her biological parents; she could not overstep her boundaries.
“Don’t be so formal!”
Zhou Tong smiled, urging her to rise, but he noticed a trace of obscure energy in her brow, a sign that past entanglements were not yet resolved.
“Lan Tian, we now have enough strength to protect ourselves. When we call upon you, you may act freely!”
“Thank you, Father King!”
Lan Tian bowed once more and excitedly flew away.
“The Xuanwu Clan is going to be in big trouble.”
The Senior Sister said, “Once Lan Tian leaves, she is bound to challenge the entire Xuanwu Clan. Do you think she can do it?”
“Hard to say…”
Zhou Tong shook his head, “I don’t have high hopes for the Xuanwu Clan!”
The two casually chatted as if discussing trivial matters, the fate of the Xuanwu Clan seemed trivial in their eyes.
After all, no one cared about the end of ungrateful people.
Moments later, the surrounding atmosphere became considerably tranquil.
“Junior Brother… the child has left…”
The Senior Sister suddenly said, her face flushing red, looking particularly alluring.
“Senior Sister!”
Zhou Tong looked at the enchanting beauty before him, his heart racing uncontrollably.
He despairingly realized that his self-control was getting worse.
Despite having lived two lives, how could he still act like a rookie when it came to matters between men and women?
This wouldn’t do; if it continued like this, he would completely succumb to the Senior Sister’s charm.
This time, he needed to resolutely refuse!
“Junior Brother, I want to… mm!”
Before she could finish, the irrational Junior Brother hugged the Senior Sister tightly!
Immediately following that… the spring colors bloomed in the Red Dust Sea!
…
An hour later…
The Senior Sister’s complexion was rosy, completely out of strength, lying softly on Zhou Tong’s body.
“Don’t come again; let me rest!”
She pleaded, her face filled with happiness and satisfaction.
“Hehe…”
With a mischievous smile, Zhou Tong was about to tease her again when he heard a thud, and the Mountain Ghost Clan’s Golden Book of Seals fell into his hands.
“Give it back to me!”
The Senior Sister suddenly became alert, but her whole body felt weak, as Zhou Tong had already seized it.
“Let me take a look!”
“No!”
No matter how the Senior Sister resisted, Zhou Tong still opened the Golden Book, only to be surprised to find that it contained only his and Lan Tian’s names, while the royal page was completely blank!
“Strange, there’s no name for Senior Sister on here. Could it be that Senior Sister looks down on me?”
Upon hearing this, the Senior Sister was about to get angry, but suddenly revealed a sly smile.
“Not at all; it’s just that I want to be the queen, and I didn’t dare to act rashly. I just happened to want to ask if Junior Brother could put my name in the first position?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Tong tensed up, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
This was clearly a life-and-death question!
He could almost see the scene of Master and the Little Demoness sharpening their knives!
