"Mother... sob..."
Seeing Roxy Shangguan's tear-streaked and sorrowful face, Morgan Shangguan hurriedly asked Damien Gray to put her down, holding her in her arms and gently asking, "What happened?"
Jing Mo Hen and Gu Yi Han had already arrived, glancing at those above and those below. They couldn't help but admire their own courage. Hearing Morgan Shangguan's question, Jing Mo Hen finally spoke: "Hua Qian Yu is hurt. And the injury is quite severe."
Morgan Shangguan was just about to go and check, but Xuan Tian suddenly spoke up, "Let him sleep well. His body has already suffered countless wounds!"
Morgan Shangguan paused, then picked up Roxy Shangguan, looked towards Eve Yan, a faint smile at her lips, and said, "Master, that is your precious disciple. Shouldn't you give him something to help him recover?"
Roxy Shangguan's eyes sparkled, tears vanished, and she rushed to Eve Yan with a sweet smile, calling, "Grandmaster..."
Eve Yan, overjoyed, rushed over and swept Roxy Shangguan into her arms.
Morgan Shangguan then picked up Ethan Gray, glanced at Xuan Tian, and smiled faintly, "Grandmaster Xuan Tian, you don't need to envy Master. There's another one here. As long as you give a meeting gift, you can hug them too!"
Ethan Gray sized up Xuan Tian and coolly replied, "I have legs of my own!"
Xuan Tian nearly lost his composure, but still rushed over and hugged Gong Chen Yu, grumbling, "Just like your father, do you have to drive me crazy before you're satisfied?" Though his words sounded harsh, his eyes were full of affection.
He had traveled to the mortal realm and accepted disciples, but only Blood Wraith could truly be considered his student; the others were merely passing acquaintances.
Grandmaster Xuan Tian took out two small porcelain bottles, tossed one to Roxy Shangguan, and said, "Little girl, give this to him. After taking it, he'll be fine after sleeping for a year or so!"
Then he opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, fed a pill to Ethan Gray, and chanted, "Don't say Grandmaster doesn't help you. After taking this, your practice will be twice as effective, so you won't be bullied by your precious ones in the future."
Roxy Shangguan fed the pill to Hua Qian Yu. Hearing Xuan Tian's words, she pouted and asked, "What about me?"
Xuan Tian replied with exasperation, "You don't need it. That boy is yours to bully as you please!" It wasn't that he didn't want to give Roxy Shangguan medicine, but his remedies were rare and precious, usually only one dose at a time.
Eve Yan looked at Morgan Shangguan and said, "Don't worry. Although you've awakened, with Xuan Tian here, no one will drag you back to the Celestial Realm." She glanced at Damien Gray and added, "Besides, those in the Celestial Realm wish Blood Wraith would never return."
Morgan Shangguan smiled, hugged her, and whispered, "Thank you, Master." Her master had done so much for her, yet all she could say was thank you.
After a long round of chatter, Eve Yan was finally pulled away by Xuan Tian, glancing back with every step.
With Blood Wraith dead and Morgan Shangguan safe, Damien Gray lost interest in causing further chaos. The ministers who called for the execution of the Enchantress Consort were reduced to only a few, and Damien Gray imprisoned them in the Heavenly Prison for three days and nights before releasing them.
Although many ministers were lost, the Ghost Sect was full of talented people, so there was no serious impact.
Where does the soul return, where does the world go? The final prophecy spoke of Morgan Shangguan's life and death. It seemed as if the world's fate was in Damien Gray's hands, but in truth, it rested with Morgan Shangguan. If she died, the world would face destruction.
Cang Wei posed no threat. After the new ministers took over, Qiu Susu immediately began to absorb Cang Nation. Now, only Silvermoon Kingdom remained as a major power; all other nations became its vassals, including Cang Nation, which once stood as Silvermoon Kingdom's equal.
Qiu Susu couldn't help but marvel at the Ghost Sect's people. If those ministers hadn't been so obsessed with power and called for the Enchantress Consort's execution, they wouldn't have met such a fate. They were capable people, and it was a pity to lose them.
Meanwhile, Qiu Susu gave birth to a son, who was immediately made crown prince. Since he was her only child and she didn't plan on having more, his position was unshakable—at least within that palace.
Though Damien Gray had no interest in the throne, Qiu Susu had no idea what the young prince thought.
She had considered removing the young prince, but her reason always warned her that doing so would lead to her ruin. So she could only think about how to raise her son to surpass Damien Gray, so she wouldn't have to fear the Ghost Sect. This was her only option.
On the bustling street, Morgan Shangguan played with the jade pendant in her hand, smiling. Suddenly, she asked, "Damien, is it too immoral for us to just leave like this? After all, Ethan and Roxy are still so young!"
Damien Gray smiled, wrapped his arm around her waist, and replied, "Isn't this question a year too late?"
Morgan Shangguan was speechless. Well, maybe it was a little late.
They had been wandering for a year, leaving the Ghost Sect and Cloud Sect to the two kids. Free from responsibilities, they began touring the kingdoms.
A year ago, Morgan Shangguan had only visited Silvermoon Kingdom and Cang Nation. Unexpectedly, the smaller countries were also charming, each with its own unique scenery—worth visiting.
Suddenly, Morgan Shangguan stopped and said, "I'm hungry!" Then she dragged Damien Gray to a street-side bun shop.
They were now back in Silvermoon Kingdom. This time, they returned because Ethan Gray and Roxy Shangguan's birthdays were coming up, and they wanted to check if Hua Qian Yu had awakened, as well as see how the Ghost Sect and Cloud Sect were doing. For the past year, they hadn't interfered with the sects, trusting Ethan and Roxy's abilities—even though they were just over a year old.
Now that they're back, if everything is fine, they can truly let go and travel to more distant places.
