235: Chapter 68: The 9th Magical Beast and the 8th Magical Beast (Part 1)_1 235: Chapter 68: The 9th Magical Beast and the 8th Magical Beast (Part 1)_1 Both Snow Spirit You Mings clearly hadn’t expected their opponent to be so powerful.
The deep yellow zither sounds from Ye Yinzhu resonated harmoniously in their ears, and the couple was simultaneously reminded of the warmth of being a family of three when their daughter was born.
In the midst of that immersion in warmth, their momentum had already started to rapidly decline.
The Zither Sect’s three divine tunes, if played with the Ziwei Qinxin, would have the power of a forbidden curse!
Although Ye Yinzhu was still two ranks away from the Ziwei Qinxin, his profound understanding of music from cultivating the Pure Qinxin since childhood made him more insightful than any Divine Music Master.
The effect of the “High Mountain Flowing Water” song had reached a rather formidable level.
As he listened to the moving zither music, Zi felt his body brimming with strength.
The soul connection between bondmates of the same life contract made the amplifying effects of Ye Yinzhu’s zither music even more potent for him.
A layer of solid amethyst instantly covered all his skin, and although he hadn’t revealed his true form, the nearly solid aura emanating from him was enough to startle the two Snow Spirit You Mings.
In the past, Zi’s ability to slay the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu with a single sword stroke was not only because he overexerted his power to reveal his true form but also because Black Dragon and Silver Dragon had little strength left after the collision of their forbidden curses.
However, it was also greatly related to the imposing force from his Amethyst Behemoth heritage.
In the face of the Amethyst Behemoth’s presence, any Magical Beast would tremble.
For a time, under the effect of mutual consumption and growth, the best bination of Zither Emperor and Emperor Zi pletely oppressed the two rank Nine Beasts in the fight.
Another sharp scream rang out.
Under the pressure from Zi and the influence of Ye Yinzhu’s zither music, Ming Xue’s mother accidentally let go of her, allowing her to fly out.
Facing the formidable pressure, Ming Xue’s face turned deathly pale, but she resolutely flew to the center between the two sides.
Not having evolved to rank Nine, she couldn’t speak and could only let out sharp cries anxiously.
Yue Ming’s hands paused briefly as she looked up at the heart-wrenchingly distressed Ming Xue, “Yinzhu, stop, please.
Ming Xue says she wants everyone to stop fighting.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, but the “High Mountain Flowing Water” song didn’t cease.
Of course, he didn’t wish to fight, but he had to apply necessary pressure on the opponents; otherwise, munication on an equal footing would be impossible.
Hearing their daughter’s voice, the expressions of both Snow Spirit You Mings changed simultaneously, and their looks towards Yue Ming softened significantly.
Meanwhile, the engraving Yue Ming was doing with her right hand had reached the final moments.
Layers of dark fog continuously burst forth from her body, and the immense energy made her already petite frame seem even smaller.
Yet her resolute eyes had bee the focus of the entire scene.
“Ming Xue, from now on, you are free,” Yue Ming exclaimed as if releasing all the emotions in her heart, spewing a cloud of blood mist into the sky.
The blood mist stayed together without dispersing, injecting directly into the vast spiritual imprint she had just finished drawing.
Ming Xue rushed towards Yue Ming at the highest speed, wailing mournfully.
As a Specter Type Monster, tears unexpectedly appeared on her face, which was unheard of for their species.
But no matter how fast she was, she couldn’t outpace Yue Ming’s actions.
In the moment when Yue Ming’s expelled blood mist fully merged with the drawn symbols before her, a massive black beam erupted from her chest.
In an instant, the other end of the beam struck the same spot on Ming Xue’s chest.
Yue Ming let out a muffled groan and slowly collapsed to the ground, whereas Ming Xue became more visible under the shroud of the black beam, with circles of dark energy continuously permeating her body.
It was clearly felt that her strength was continuously rising under the influence of the black beam.
What Yue Ming was performing was not simply a spell to forcefully break the contract.
She also, hoping to make up for the sorrow of Ming Xue’s separation from her parents for ten years, released three-tenths of her Dark Magic Mana into the contract-breaking spell, fully infusing it into Ming Xue’s body.
Seeing this, Ming Xue’s parents were both stunned.
They could clearly sense how sad their daughter was at that moment, all because of that human girl.
Though her strength was increasing, the look she gave Yue Ming was filled with even greater sadness, and tears continued to fall.
They turned into pearls dropping to the ground, shining brightly even in the Ice Valley.
The tears of Snow Spirit You Ming are one of the rarest things in the world.
Making Snow Spirit You Ming cry is almost impossible.
Being specters, they lack a physical form.
Only in times of extreme sorrow, especially for their loved ones, might they shed those purest of tears.
The tears of Snow Spirit You Ming, also known as Dark Pearls, are top-tier Dark Ice dual-element Demon Crystals.
The fact that their daughter could cry for that human girl showed that their relationship was not as they had imagined.
The surrounding darkness gradually disappeared, and the Dark Isolation silently lifted, with the expressions of Ming Xue’s parents also easing.
Guided by the flow of energy, Ye Yinzhu stopped playing and sighed softly.
He put away the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither and lifted Yue Ming from the cold ground.
His gentle Zhu Douqi flowed into her body, preserving her warmth.
Her spiritual power had been overdrawn, leaving her extremely weak.
If she didn’t receive timely treatment, it could lead to serious issues.
The black beam enveloping Ming Xue finally disappeared, and almost immediately, Ming Xue rushed to Yue Ming’s side, her cries of mourning unceasing.
Regrettably, Yue Ming, having been released from the contract, could no longer understand her sounds.
Yue Ming’s face was pale, but her eyes shone with exceptional brightness, and the knot in her heart finally unraveled at this moment, filling her tired body with a sense of relief.
Gently caressing Ming Xue’s slightly more matured and pretty face, she could only touch the void, but she was abnormally satisfied at this time.
“Don’t cry, Ming Xue.
I have finally returned what was taken from you.
Although I know this cannot make up for the pain of being away from your parents for ten years, it’s all I can do.
Ming Xue, I have never treated you as just a Magical Beast.
You are my family, my sister.
Yin Zhu is right, liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be with them, true affection is wanting to see them happy.
Go back to your parents.
From now on, being with them, I can rest easy too.
If, if there is ever a chance to e back to Frosty Forest, I will definitely e and see you.”
Yue Ming was smiling, and yet, her tears kept sliding down ceaselessly, for even with all her strength to control, she couldn’t block the deep sorrow in her heart.
“Perhaps, we really misunderstood.” Ming Xue’s parents lightly approached not far from Ye Yinzhu, not daring to get too close to Zi, but at this moment, their faces had pletely calmed down.
Ye Yinzhu holding Yue Ming, said, “Initially, Yue Ming’s grandfather took your daughter away so that his granddaughter might possess greater power in the future.
Our visit this time was to apologize to you and return Ming Xue to you.
Although Yue Ming and Ming Xue had formed a contract, as you have seen, Ming Xue did not suffer in Yue Ming’s care.
We hope you can forgive us.
What Yue Ming wishes most is for Ming Xue to be happy.” His embrace around Yue Ming’s arm was firm, for he could distinctly feel that what Yue Ming needed most now was a warm embrace.
Ming Xue’s father said in a deep voice, “My name is Ming Hui, this is my wife Ming Yue.
I apologize for our brashness earlier.
I didn’t expect there to be such a kindhearted girl among humans, and although losing our daughter for ten years is still unbearable, the words of this girl have made me forgive her.”
Ming Yue pulled her daughter into her arms, sighing softly, “After all these years, this is the first time I feel like crying.
Husband, help this girl.
Her kindness has earned my respect.”
Ming Hui nodded, extending his ethereal right hand, hovering it above Yue Ming’s head, as dark blue light, like tendrils of mist, flowed into the center of Yue Ming’s forehead.
The cold Dark Qi made Ye Yinzhu somewhat unfortable, but it was exactly what Yue Ming needed most, her weak body was immediately replenished with the best nourishment, a layer of dark blue light appeared on her skin’s surface, and her eyes slowly closed beyond her control, entering a state of deep sleep.
Ming Hui withdrew his hand and said, “She will be alright now.
When she awakens, the damage from lifting the seal will have entirely disappeared.
Unfortunately, she will be unable to form contracts with any Magical Beasts in the future.”
Ming Xue suddenly shrieked anxiously, pointing at herself and then at Yue Ming.
Ming Hui’s expression changed, “Xue’er, are you saying you still want to be her Magical Beast?
No, that’s absolutely not possible.
You have only just returned to your father and mother.
Although I admit this girl is kind-hearted, we can’t lose you again.”
Ming Xue shook her head anxiously, pointing at Yue Ming, then separately at her parents, and again at the icy valley, screaming continuously.
Ming Hui’s expression softened a bit, “Are you suggesting that she should also stay with us?”
Ming Xue nodded vigorously.
Ming Hui frowned and said, “But, she is a human after all.
This place does not belong to her.
Nor does she belong here.”
Ming Xue blinked her stirring large eyes, tears ready to fall again, emitting a heartbreaking scream without stopping.
Having just been reunited with his daughter, Ming Hui truly didn’t wish to disappoint Ming Xue and finally said helplessly, “If she is willing, let her stay.
Her innate attributes blend well with ours.
Perhaps she could bee the first Mage to cultivate in Frosty Forest.
For your sake, she lost the ability to form contracts with Magical Beasts, and yet she’s so kind, this can be somewhat of a pensation for her.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such strong emotions.
My good daughter, don’t cry, will you?” (To be continued, if you wish to know what happens next, please log in to .
