Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

It's like the lingering smell of blood on a scalpel.

and so……

Lu Ya tilted her head, adjusted her expression, and revealed the smile she knew best, just like when she was at a crossroads after school and they were about to part ways. She waved her hand and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Go back where?"

“The distant past.”

It's the kind of person who can laugh freely with you, cry freely with you, and look you in the eye without feeling guilty or inferior.

She bent down slightly, and unexpectedly kissed Jiang Si on the cheek, then skipped and hopped away into the distance, not letting the boy in her heart see her sly smile:

"So, you definitely have to come find me!"

When that time comes, I will definitely say it.

Watching her fellow Daoist disappear, Ziyuan glanced at her own heart in her hand, the Time Dao Fruit resonating with it.

Then, looking up, Ziyuan finally showed a long-lost smile.

She reached out her hand, waved it slightly, and then murmured softly:

"As expected, my Dao Fruit of Time cannot be without your remnant soul."

Chapter 330 Self-Exposing One's Identity, Huang is Not as Good as Ye (10,000 words, seeking monthly votes)

This wisp of remnant soul almost affected the integrity of his Dao fruit image.

Although she was initially just worried, Shion had actually guessed that it wasn't that simple.

It's a pity I haven't refined the Human Emperor Banner yet; otherwise, binding and refining this wisp of remnant soul might have made my Time Dao Fruit more stable.

Fellow Daoist Lu Ya has already returned to the past, so refining this remnant soul shouldn't affect her.

However, it was too late to say anything at this moment. Ziyuan could only reflect in her heart that her preparations were not thorough enough.

If I encounter something like this again in the future, I must not be helpless...

He glanced again at the heart and the Time Dao Fruit in his hand.

I don't know how much effort and hard work it has tainted, but the Dao Fruit is innocent.

Moreover, so many people have already been killed. Although the sins are numerous, if we don't use it now, wouldn't we be letting down the sacrifices of those who died?

The real sinner, Lu Ya, has already been brought to justice. Now, by using this Dao Fruit, she is actually acting on behalf of Heaven!

I will inherit the will of all the dead and use the Time Dao Fruit for righteous purposes!

This is the proper use of an evil tool, and it is the true path!

After comforting herself with this thought, Ziyuan finally took stock of all her gains.

Then I felt my own power.

The rules of full bloom are still clamoring wildly, wanting to return their essence and spirit to heaven.

Endless and without end.

Is this the noise we have to endure after the flowers have fully bloomed?

Zi Yuan coldly curled the corners of her lips, and simply used her unparalleled divine sense to smash fiercely onto Man Kai's power and rules!

The spatial Dao Seed within their own bodies surged, and a space of tendrils began to evolve, surprising both the Emperor and the little black dragon.

"What kind of father are you going to be!"

"Create a grotto-heaven, and reap the great fruit!"

Just as she was about to use the method of merging with the Dao to solve the hidden danger of Man Kai once and for all, she suddenly raised her head.

He looked towards the void that had previously fluctuated.

Why hide?

"When did I hide?"

The prince stroked the now-assembled Void Mirror in his hand, sitting inside the mirror space with undisguised disgust and hatred. "I just wanted to see what you looked like when you died. I didn't expect that the legendary forbidden demon of the Ruins would be nothing more than this."

"She's a bit better than you."

The initial arrogance on that side immediately diminished considerably.

Ziyuan paused slightly, not expecting that she would not refute.

Although he was telling the truth, given the prince's personality, he would certainly not admit it.

Ziyuan wasn't a mean-spirited person, so she gave the other party a way out to ease the tension between them—Nalan Yanran and Emperor Yan were not ultimately irreconcilable enemies.

Ziyuan naturally didn't feel that she had to be at odds with Prince Nalan to the death.

Rather than saying that it is better to be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones, it is more indicative of a broad mind and good character.

This is also where Emperor Yan stands out from others.

Therefore, the magnanimous Ziyuan naturally intended to give the other party a way out, since they had joined the Holy Church and would inevitably run into each other in the future.

Ziyuan, who is good at handling interpersonal relationships, did not intend to make the atmosphere too awkward.

The other party remained silent for a long time, showing no intention of refuting.

In fact, the prince wanted to refute it.

But after thinking for a long time, although she was very unconvinced, she really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The prince wasn't one to be stubborn, so he had no choice but to say:

"He is a bit stronger than me, but what does it matter? In the end, he will only become a wisp of soul in your hands. In this life, what matters is not the height, but the length..."

As they were talking, they heard a reply from the other end: "Not bad."

The prince was momentarily speechless.

After thinking for a long time, she could only snort coldly and say, "Don't think that saying a few nice words will make our past grievances go away. The matter between us will never end."

"With such an invincible spirit, you are indeed a promising candidate for enlightenment."

The condescending comments, though they displeased the prince, were something he had to admit.

The person in front of me has the right to comment.

She kept changing her coordinates in the mirror space to prevent Shion from finding her—though this was just a futile attempt to deceive herself.

But it's very important to Itaun.

This allows her to comfort herself that the reason they can talk now is not because Shion still has feelings for her.

It's simply because the other person can't find them.

Thinking of this, a pang of bitterness welled up in her heart again. She sat on the ground, leaning against the simple wall of the mirror space in a very disheveled manner, with one leg curled up and the other spread out. The delicate skin wrapped in black stockings gently rubbed against the mirror surface of the space, leaving faint traces.

To maintain one's dignity without any regard for appearances:

"You really don't hold back. No matter how many times, no matter who it is, even a girl like Lu Ya, it can't make you waver in the slightest. Are you going to hold back or feel any pain?"

"Young Prince, why do you speak like a sissy today?"

"I am a girl! And I am no longer a prince. I have said it countless times, I am the Mirror King, the ruler of the Mirror Kingdom!"

"Feel sorry."

Suddenly, I heard someone say, "I'm used to it. I'm more used to being called 'Prince'."

She opened her mouth, then pressed her hand against her heart, which had suddenly started beating rapidly and abnormally.

She bit her lip hard, suppressing her reaction.

Don't act frivolously like a little pet.

I am the king who rules over the Kingdom of Mirror!

So she channeled her suppressed emotions into a cold laugh:

"Fine, it's too much to ask someone with your brain capacity to remember all the changes in how I address you. Prince it is then, I'm more used to being called Si Mo Tu..."

"That's a pseudonym, don't call me that."

"You're applying double standards now!"

"Young Prince's temperament has deteriorated further."

Unable to contain himself any longer, the prince said somewhat exasperatedly, "Better than you!"

After taking a couple of quick breaths, she realized she wasn't being very dignified and immediately calmed down.

Looking around, the prince's mirror space was still close to Chongxu, so she could naturally sense the changes in Chongxu, but she didn't care and just stared at the Void Mirror.

Lu Yaai was imprisoned there, and at this moment she was hugging her legs and squatting there.

The prince pursed his lips and gently stroked the girl's reflection in the mirror.

It's like caressing your past, down-and-out self.

"You just killed Lu Ya like that, don't you feel anything?"

Why do we need to have feelings?

"You two are friends, right?"

"Fellow Daoist."

"Whether they are friends or fellow cultivators, can you please go easy on them?"
