In the early morning of a new day, the trustees of the Thousand Scenes Academy gave Princess Avisha and her entourage a small farewell.

At least in Avisha's heart, this mission was a success, after all, the night demon had been eliminated, and all that was left was to go back and ask the empress for credit.

Heiyao City is not too far away from the capital Dream Imperial City, and Avisha and the others only need to pay attention to avoiding those tall demonic beasts when passing through the plains, and generally speaking, it is a smooth journey.

However, if Avissa had learned of the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in the palace, she would not have been in the good mood she is in now.

In the palace of Dream Imperial City, in the queen's bedroom, Yasha was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for the empress, who was already extremely weak.

The price to be paid by the secret method of soul sacrifice was clear to Asha, who knew how her sister would suffer, both mentally and physically.

A faint green glow shimmered on the bed where the powerful medical secret had been administered, and the light shone through Asha's slightly tired face and eyes, adding a poignant beauty.

Asha caressed the Empress's beautiful pale face, and at the same time muttered words that seemed to be performing some strange spell.

The green light on the bed gradually turned blue, and the blue light soon took up half of the bed, drawing a line with the green light.

A cloud of green light, much richer than the surrounding light, slowly appeared from the Empress's chest, and Asha noticed it and pressed her right hand lightly on it.

The discrete green light remained in place for the time being under Asha's secret method, but its form became stiff and unnatural.

Yasha slowly let go of her hand, ending the secret method, and the light on the bed returned to its original appearance.

After a long time, the empress opened her eyes, which still had the remnants of despair, and the familiar figure that greeted her made her feel much more at ease.

"You're awake...... Yasha grabbed her sister's wrist, her tone showing tenderness like never before.

"Yes, because I know you're waiting for me......," the Empress's voice was slightly desolate, "you'll let me come back, no matter what......"

Yasha stroked the empress's forehead and said, "You have given too much this time, I forgive you for Laetia's matter, and I hope you can forgive me too." ”

"What stupid things to say, I have never blamed you, and I am the empress of the empire, the only leader of the empire, and it is my obligation that I must not shirk to sacrifice for the empire." The Empress said earnestly.

"Yes......" Asha sighed lightly, "You should know the cost of using the Darkwing Soul Sacrifice, right?"

The Empress let go of her grip on Yasha's wrist and stared at the ceiling with her eyes, "Of course I do...... I think my soul has been frozen by you for the time being......"

"That's the most I can do." Yasha said with some self-reproach: "After the soul sacrifice, your soul will lose its cohesion until it completely dissipates ......"

"Soul spells are my only shortcoming, but at least I can delay your ......"

The Empress reached out and pressed her finger against Asha's slightly chapped lips with some reproach.

"You're not an escapist woman, sister." The Empress said with a smile, the corners of her lips curled but did not hide the stiff sadness, "Tell me, how much time do I have left?"

After a short silence, Yasha held back the emotions she was about to vent, and said with a slight trembling: "Half a year ......"

"Half a year......" The Empress was not frightened by the terrible fact, "Enough, enough for me to build a good environment for Avitha......"

"Then little Avisha will be handed over to you, please don't tell her about me." The Empress turned her head and stroked Yasha's arm, her frail face showing no fear or sadness, "Smooth the way for your niece, this is the last thing I want from you, sister." ”

"You...... Still so...... It......'s easy to be satisfied," Yasha covered her mouth, and two lines of tears flowed down her face, wetting her and her sister's touching arms.

"I promise you...... I'm going to ......," Asha couldn't bear to face her sister's smile, "with my ...... All...... Swear ......"

"Then there is Sister Lao......" The empress closed her eyes, but the pale smile on her face did not dissipate, "I have been cultivating for a while, and I should be able to deal with political affairs again......"

Yasha, who was kneeling in front of the bed, couldn't stop crying, but the empress, who was supposed to cry, kept comforting her.

There are a few magical flowers placed in the dormitory, some of the petals have turned yellow, but none of them have withered, and they still exude a calming fragrance.

……

At the Thousand Curtain Academy, Bai Xuanyi was lucky enough to participate in seeing off Avisha, as Lan Xiaoyu's cousin.

Although this identity sometimes made her very embarrassed, Bai Xuanyi still accepted this identity obediently over time, after all, using the name of Lan Xiaoyu could save her a lot of trouble.

When she returned to the school building normally, she was extremely perceptive, and she noticed some eyeliner hidden in the shadows that was difficult to detect.

However, she was not surprised by this, she had already learned that after Lan Xiaoyu was assassinated, Lan Kuangming, as the principal, had arranged such some secret guards to search for suspicious people and protect Lan Xiaoyu.

Walking into the classroom, Bai Xuanyi habitually wanted to greet Lingxi, but was surprised to find that Lingxi, who had always been on time, did not come.

Maybe something was delaying, Bai Xuanyi didn't think much about it and sat in his place.

After two classes, Lingxi, who was late, walked into the classroom very embarrassed, said sorry to the teacher, and hurriedly returned to his seat.

Bai Xuanyi looked at her with some surprise, and the reason was not because she was so late.

From Lingxi's somewhat messy hair and slightly tired face, Bai Xuanyi could sense that the energy fluctuations on her body were a little messy, as if she had just experienced something very energy-consuming.

However, the mysterious energy on Lingxi's body gave Bai Xuanyi the deepest impression that it was indescribably long and powerful, just like an elder with profound wisdom.

Bai Xuanyi had to think about what she had said to herself before.

Maybe you should ask her in person after class to see if you can come up with some more detailed information.

Soon, at the end of class, Bai Xuanyi approached Lingxi, who was a little mentally depressed, and the latter noticed her approaching, so he raised his head and looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Lingxi, are you okay?" Bai Xuanyi asked cautiously, with his intuition, Bai Xuanyi felt that Lingxi's state was a little bad at this time.

"It's okay......" Lingxi lowered his head and replied, and quickly raised his head again, his originally tired eyes becoming energetic at this time.

"You're asking me something, aren't you?" Ling Xi said lightly, making Bai Xuanyi look very embarrassed.

Seeing Bai Xuanyi's embarrassment, Lingxi got up, walked towards the door and turned around and said, "It's not suitable here, let's go out and talk, right?"

"Oh......" Bai Xuanyi replied and quickly followed.

Bai Xuanyi was a little worried at this time whether Lingxi would take her to a no-man's corner like the thug last time.

However, Lingxi just walked to a coffee table used for rest next to the classroom and sat on a chair.

Bai Xuanyi sat next to her a little unnaturally, it was the first time that Lingxi had taken such an initiative.

"What I told you last time......" Lingxi stared at Bai Xuanyi, without the slightest shyness when she first met her, "I didn't tell you everything. ”

"Oh, I'm listening......" Bai Xuanyi nodded.

Ling Xi smiled slightly, his originally ordinary face revealed a mature and charming temperament at this time, and slowly raised his right hand under Bai Xuanyi's gaze.

?！ Bai Xuanyi's eyes darkened, she didn't expect Lingxi to suddenly cover her eyes with her hands, "Lingxi, you are ......"

It didn't last long, Lingxi quickly put down his hand, and several blue energy ripples appeared out of thin air where his arm slashed.

Bai Xuanyi didn't react, just opened his eyes wider, and his originally silver-white eyes turned pure sky blue at this time.

In this seemingly pure sky blue, Bai Xuanyi saw a gray and suffocating scene.

The earth is burning, the tall buildings are crumbling, the sky is obscured by smoke and dust, and the lives of those fleeing are at any moment.

And just in the farthest sky, a figure surrounded by black fog is fighting a figure surrounded by light, and every encounter between the two will infinitely lead to disaster and panic underground.

What is it? The end times? All this is going to be in the future...... Does it happen?

However, before Bai Xuanyi could see the faces of the two people who were engaged in an epic duel, everything disappeared in an instant.

"Ha......" Bai Xuanyi couldn't help but gasp, and her eyes returned to their original silver, and the picture was so real that she could hardly breathe.

Sensing the smiling expression of Lingxi beside him, Bai Xuanyi's mood was very complicated.

She didn't want to ask Lingxi who she really was, but she was intrigued by this magical and somewhat terrifying ability.

“…… Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Bai Xuanyi asked.

"Beware of the divine creatures around you." Lingxi gave a very strange answer.

"Forehead......" Bai Xuanyi scratched her head, she couldn't figure out what this "divine creation" was.

The bell rang for class, and the puzzled Bai Xuanyi followed Lingxi back to the class.

……

In the Dream Imperial City, in an ordinary small villa, a black-haired girl was staring at a woman lying on a table with a man who was much taller than her.

The woman had beautiful blonde hair and beautiful green eyes, and her appearance was so close to that of Princess Avissa of the royal family.

"Letia ......" Mengwei placed her left hand on her forehead, and a faint dark purple light appeared and disappeared.

The terrifying black lines on Laetia's body faded until they disappeared completely.

She opened her eyes, and when she saw the jewel-like eyes that had turned purple, the Dream Curtains curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.

"The hatred you didn't do, I've helped you achieve it, are you happy now?"

Laetia slowly turned her gaze to the dream, and in those lonely golden eyes, she saw herself so strange.

Tears blurred Laetia's eyes and flowed down the deepest scars in her heart.
