It’s ok. Don’t cry. This is her fate. It’s not your fault!” Yue Yang was very sad too, but resurrecting a dead person couldn’t be forced. It was the lady’s fate that she couldn’t be revived. It was not Xiao Wen Li’s fault.
“Wuwuwu…” Xiao Wen Li cried broken-heartedly.
This was the first time she cried like a child in front of Yue Yang. It was so different from her usual image as a little god of war.
Yue Yang breathed a gentle sigh. He caressed her back lightly and kissed her tears away gently.
He had tried his best, but he had failed…
The pitiful tavern girl’s life was so desolate and sad. She even lost her only opportunity to revive.
She had lived tragically throughout her whole life. Yue Yang shook his head as he saw the others crying sorrowfully. After he collected the dead bodies of Tu Cheng, Kuang Zhan, the Golden Dragon and Ancient Giant Beast, he held Xiao Wen Li who was still crying and prepared to leave this sad place.
Suddenly, a volcano which was hidden under the ground exploded.
Boom Boom!
The fiery lava spouted high to the sky along with the trembling sound that shook the ground.
Yue Yang was astounded. These volcano traps were actually designed by Tu Cheng to injure him. It would not explode if no one triggered them. Why did it suddenly break through and exploded?
Boom, boom, boom, boom……….
Ten volcano which were hidden under the ground exploded one by one. The blood-red lava spouted high up into the sky. The volcanic ash, thick smoke and the blood-red lava flowed out from the volcano. Before Yue Yang could react, Yue Yu suddenly screamed emotionally. “Come here, quick! Look here. There’s a weird shadow there… Everyone, look!” Yue Yang looked at the direction where Yue Yu had pointed and discovered a weird shadow formed by flames and thick smokes flying hither and thither in the lava. It seemed like it was having fun as it moved in and out of the lava.
“What is that?” Yue Yang noticed that the shadow which was made up of around 30% flame and 70% thick smoke looked very similar to the dead tavern girl.
The shadow didn’t have a solid body. Her body could barely be seen in the midst of raging flame and smoke. Her body changed irregularly, as if she could twist and deform anytime. For a moment, she became a column of smoke rising high up into the sky. In the next moment, she had became a fireball and smashed into the lava.
The lava was not only harmless to the shadow’s body, but also increased its energy.
The thick smoke and lava from the volcano became part of the shadow’s body as she moved in and out of the volcanoes.
Yue Yang caught a glimpse of a familiar rune on the forehead of the shadow. A bunch of indistinct Runic Circles which could barely be seen were found on her body too. This shadow was indeed the evolved tavern girl. She didn’t die, instead, she became a ‘Smoke Lady’ whose body was made up of thick smoke and flame. She neither looked like a human nor beast. It was hard to categorized her into any category.
However, everyone was cheering for she was revived regardless of how she looked.
Xiao Wen Li was the happiest one. She held Yue Yang’s neck and cheered out emotionally.
Although the Resurrection Ritual wasn’t successful, it hadn’t entirely failed either. Part of her thought was right. At least the lady who had wasted a lot of Yue Yang’s blood had her soul revived, although her body was completely destroyed.
“She seems to not recognize us anymore…” When Princess Qian Qian called her a few times, the Smoke Lady who was made up of thick smoke and flame twisted her body and came up to stand in front of Princess Qian Qian as she swirled a pillar of thick smoke. She stared at Princess Qian Qian with her flaming eyes for a while and left as she couldn’t recognize her. She looked like a child who had lost all her memory, and only cared about playing happily all by herself.
“It’s alright as long as she is happy.” Yue Yang smiled. Perhaps this was the best ending for the tavern girl.
If she still retained her previous life’s memory, it would only make her suffer even more.
Without the restriction of the body, wasn’t it better for her to have fun without care or worries? Sometimes it was a form of happiness when one’s couldn’t remember or understand a thing.
