Chapter 21: The Soul

"What! I'm your sister?! Lillian was taken aback.

"Yes, Your Highness, my cousin by blood, to be exact. My grandmother is Queen Kuhua, and her sister Xin Yao was married to your grandfather Charles. ”

"So, I still have human blood, right?"

"Your Highness..."

"Stop, don't call me Your Highness, just call me Lily."

With a wave of her hand, Lillian interrupted the 'relative' and corrected her salutation. Since she is a sister, how can she be so angry.

"Yes! Your Highness! Xin Jiya put her right hand on her shoulder, bowed her head, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, okay, what does the Demon Guard do?"

"The demon bloodline is passed down alone, in order to protect the young demons, as an ally of Gu Hua, each generation of the royal family will train reliable demon guards to protect the baby demons. And I am your demon guard, but before you were born, the demon king was killed by the god of light, and the demon clan escaped from the continent. You, who were still egg-born at the time, also disappeared in the process. ”

Xin Jiya's beautiful face showed a touch of gloom, as if she remembered that turbulent era again.

"That's... What's going on with this weapon? ”

"Ah, this is the Soul Scythe, a magic weapon specially created for you by Gu Hua, with the ability to manipulate the soul, and it is because of it that I was resurrected. It was meant to be given to you when you were born, but..."

"Okay, Sister Jiya, let's talk about the rest later, we made such a big noise here just now, and the people above don't know if they found out. Now is not the time to be exposed, so let's get out of this place of right and wrong first. ”

"Your Highness..."

"It's all said, don't call me... What's wrong, Sister Jiya? ”

Lillian threatens to leave, but finds Xinzia standing there, with no intention of leaving.

"Your Highness, five thousand years ago, I was already dead, and now I am only surviving on the magic weapon in your hand, in fact, my soul has rotted. Maybe it won't be long before I'll go crazy and become a monster who only knows how to kill... Now that you've got the magic weapon, I'm halfway through my mission, so let me die here quietly..."

Without the influence of the Scythe, she would have died in no time, but even if she kept up with Lillian, it wouldn't be long before she became a liability. So, the best way to deal with it is to let Lillian leave with the soul sickle and let herself stay here to end this life. The thought that she was going to die and not be able to complete her mission as a demon guard made Xin Jiya's face gloomy.

Looking at the 'relative' she had just recognized, Lilian fell into deep thought.

The soul needs to rely on the body, but without the soul, the body can get out of control.

Although Xinziya's strength is superior and her soul level is very high, she cannot stop the corruption of the human body. Over time, the corruption of her body was transmitted to her soul, which made her soul begin to be disordered, even if it was suppressed by a soul magic weapon, she could not ignore the erosion that lasted for five thousand years.

If you want to save Xinziya, there are only two ways.

Either restore the soul and body to a state where they are free from decay, or find a way to break the connection between the soul and the body.

There's no need to think about recovery, Lilian doesn't have the ability to pinch people out of thin air, and as for disconnecting, there is some research.

Under normal circumstances, the disconnection between the soul and the body represents death, but in the inheritance of demons, there is a precedent for the soul to be separated from the body.

As long as you use the facility called the Soul Hall in the Demon City, you can separate the soul that needs to rely on the body, and become a devil who lives only on the soul. There is another, more commonly used name for this type of creature - lich.

In order to use the function of the Soul Temple's enslavement, Lilian had started the construction of this facility long before leaving, so as long as she could bring Xinziya back to the magic city of Fiano Mountain safely, this problem could be solved.

Thinking of this, Lilian patted Xin Ziya's cold arm comfortingly,

"Sister Jiya, you don't seem to know much about our demons, this kind of physical problem is what our demons are best at solving."

"What? Your Highness! Do you have a cure for me? "Although I already have the will to die, if I have the opportunity to live, no one will give up easily.

"Of course, I can still do that." Lilian nodded, a confident expression.

"Great! Your Royal Highness's great grace, Xin Jiya is toothless and unforgettable! As soon as she heard Lilian's affirmation, Xin Ziya immediately became excited.

"Eh, don't call me Your Highness, if you go out, it won't take a minute for people to discover my identity!" Lilian covered her forehead, her face full of helplessness, no way, this 'relative' is dead-headed.

"Now let's find a coffin of better quality that can preserve the body."

"Coffin? There's one in the room over there, I'll get it. ”

"Well, by the way, help me get two sets of clothes, I don't want to run."

"Yes!"

After Xinzia left, Lilian walked to the corner and found the black cat lying on the stone slab by induction. This pet has rough skin and thick meat, and although he fainted, there was no scar on his body.

"Hey, hey! Wake up! Lillian tugged at the cat's tail and wagged.

"Meow... Meow! Lily! What about the enemy! ”

Luna opened her cat's eye and jumped to her feet, looking around nervously.

"Don't be excited, a misunderstanding, she's not an enemy."

"Huh? How... Well? Where are you a woman! What about Lily? ”

Hearing that there was no enemy, Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and just put down her cat's paws, but she was surprised to see that she was talking to a girl with a crisp breast, a bewitching figure, and a soft and beautiful red fruit girl.

"What do you call a woman from where! I'm Lilian, okay! You stupid cat! ”

"Woo meow ~ you... Are you Lillian!? ”

Luna was about to suspect that the cat was born, so why did she close her eyes and open them again, and her owner changed from a loli to a girl, and suddenly grew up seven or eight years old. Don't... How many years have passed?

"Who is it if it's not me? This is just a side effect of the awakening of the demon's bloodline, and it doesn't last long, and it is estimated that it will change back after a while. ”

"I see... But... Lily, have you noticed... You're very tempting right now~"

Luna's eyes turned into hearts, and she didn't know what ambiguous picture came to mind.

"You're..."

"Your Highness, the clothes and coffin you wanted."

Lillian was about to go berserk when Xin Ziya returned to the hall with a one-man tall pitch-black sarcophagus.

"Hmph, you perverted cat, I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Glaring at the black cat, Lillian took the clothes and put them on her body, although it was a little tight, but it was acceptable if she only wore it for a while.

"Okay, Sister Jiya, do you have anything else to bring? If not, we're ready to go. Dressed, Lillian asked, waving the scythe in her hand.

Xin Ziya nodded, and then went to the pile of stones where the spider was buried, took out her long sword and smashed the stone twice, releasing the spider crushed under the ruins.

The white-haired giant spider lifted up and touched Xin Ziya with its pillar-like legs,

"Get smaller, Maomao, we're ready to go."

Hearing the command, the spider shrank rapidly, and in less than a few breaths, it turned into a white spider the size of a finger. Xin Ziya dragged her hand and picked up the white spider, and then returned to Lilian.

"This white spider can be so small!" Luna was surprised.

"I'm ready, Your Highness." Xin Jiya put the long sword in her hand at her waist and affirmed.

"Okay, now I'm going to temporarily separate your soul from your body to prevent further corruption, you don't resist."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Affirming the other party's affirmation, Lilian waved her arms, and the three-meter-long huge scythe was raised diagonally, and strong spiritual fluctuations emanated, and all the chaotic spiritual energy that was imprisoned in the corpse was stripped out, passed through the ground, and gathered towards the soul scythe that emitted white light.

As the energy converges, the white light becomes stronger and stronger.

When the entire scythe emitted a dazzling light and turned into a light sickle, Lilian's eyes froze, and the bright light sickle swung down violently,

The huge blade was aimed at Xin Ziya's neck and slashed up...
