Demon Sealing Well Reopens 5

Finally, Max Mo vanished completely. Sandy blinked, then nudged the last ember of the annihilation flame toward the Origin Lotus.

As the flame flew, a jolt of electricity buzzed in her mind: "Sandy!"

She looked at the flame—it was Little Smudge.

Little Smudge burned all its spiritual power to block the flame.

Little Smudge's weak spiritual power was nothing compared to Max Mo. The moment its body touched the flame, it ignited, but it couldn't stop the flame for even a second.

"Sandy..." it called again. "Didn't you promise we'd always be together? If you do this... I'm really sad..."

Sandy watched Little Smudge's body catch fire and burn. At last, she suddenly reached out and put out the flames on its body.

Then she flew over and caught Little Smudge.

Little Smudge was barely alive, and whispered to her, "Sandy... The biggest difference between humans and machines is having... emotions, being able to feel love. Both Max Mo and I love you—can you feel it?"

Sandy stared at it, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, until she finally murmured two words: "Little Smudge..."

......

Evan Lan and Eric Lan hadn't yet opened the starship, but suddenly felt the Demon Realm army's aura.

They surged in, wild and restless.

It seemed they wanted to flatten the human world.

"You keep going," Evan told Eric. Then he turned to face the Demon Sealing Well, his spiritual power surging.

But just then, someone dropped into the mouth of the Well, transformed, and turned into a giant black net across the Black Hole.

Purple flames flickered on the black net.

The demon army arrived in an instant.

But they all crashed into the net.

Anyone who touched the net was burned to ash by the purple flames.

It was Sandy.

She had turned her body into a giant black net, blocking the demon army.

Little Smudge stood at the top of the barrier, shouting, "Sandy! Sandy! Wuwuwu!"

"I'm here." At that moment, a voice sounded beside him.

Little Smudge froze and turned to look.

Beside him, the Little Red Turtle smiled: "I've separated my consciousness from my body and attached it to the Little Red Turtle."

"You... you're Sandy?"

The Little Red Turtle nodded, "Yep."

Little Smudge looked at her, then suddenly hugged her head and gave her a big kiss.

......

The starship trapping Lily Bai was finally smashed open.

Its door was broken again.

Lily Bai floated out.

As soon as she appeared, the demon army at the other end of the net instantly quieted, all eyes on her.

She flew over, her demonic aura swelling, and spoke to them in a language no one else could understand.

Most of them left, heads hanging in defeat.

The few who remained, unwilling to give up, still couldn't cross the barrier.

"I bet she told them, with the Black-and-White Origin Lotus, the Demon Realm won't be destroyed," Little Smudge said.

"No," said the Little Red Turtle. "She said, once these two flowers bear lotus seeds, she'll return to the Demon Realm."

"You can understand her language?"

"I'm a demon beast!" said the Little Red Turtle.

"So... she'll be leaving soon? If she goes, what about Evan Lan? Won't he be left all alone?"

"She's the Demon King. She'll have to leave eventually. But it won't be soon," said the Little Red Turtle.

"Why?"

"Because... for the Origin Lotus to bear seeds, it takes a full Yuan cycle."

"How long is a Yuan cycle?"

"129,600 years."

Little Smudge: "Heh..."

......

Shanghuang Manor.

"Evan Lan, last time you lost a branch, did you feel like you were missing something?"
