Chapter 3695 Regrouping
"Mhm~"
Shirley looked into the distance with her hand stretched above her eyes, looking as though she was trying to spot something, but she could barely make out the difference when the sight in front of her was covered in mountain ranges.
However, turning to look back, she saw the mammoth crystal tree.
"Phew... getting out would be near impossible if these crystal beasts weren't easily fooled, falling for feints and tricks..."
"You've angered them. They're prowling around, looking to kill anything in sight. It's a miracle that we've escaped..."
Dewzai's voice echoed by Shirley's side.
She was... headless.
Shirley turned to look at Dewzai, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Indeed, Dewzai was back in her body, able to repossess it even without a head. However, this was only temporary as long as she was in her body; intense pain would continue to reverberate in her soul over losing her brain.
Shirley inwardly sighed, wondering if immortals were even human.
She found it a bit hard to grasp that the immortal body could be restored as long as the dantian containing martial energy survived, in other words, the Immortal Vessel, since it contained both lower and middle dantian. However, she wasn't in a position to gripe when her nirvanic soul could revive her three times, completely healing her body and soul back to health.
"Don't stare at me..."
Dewzai wore a wide hat a few centimeters above her neck and had it covered by a veil on all sides. Her head was slowly regenerating from the neck and would eventually house the soul sea that she had escaped out within her true soul.
Shirley could see the silhouette of a skull already, slightly bloody, meaning the muscles around the head were already regenerating. She knew this kind of quick healing was only possible due to Dewzai being a fey, an Emperor-Tier Fey at that. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
Magical beasts always had a higher regenerative capability than humans, so their wounds healed quicker than most races as long as the wound wasn't intense in energy. Otherwise, remnant energy would plague her.
For the same reason, Dewzai wasn't able to heal the arm she lost, including one of her eyes. Shirley doubted they would regenerate unless Dewzai decided to take the appropriate medicine.
Her lips curled, knowing if she tried to move Dewzai's veil and see her skull face, she was going to be pissed. She didn't go far with her teasing as she folded her hands and looked into the distance, "Let's go. I sense my big sister is this way."
"How do you know?"
"Just a hunch~"
Shirley said, but she lied.
Evelynn had implanted a delayed hex on her body. This was to bypass the Candidacy's initialization if possible, and sure enough, their things were taken away, so items would've been useless.
Some effects from battles may have also been removed, but that would've been unfair, so they bet on the tracking hex not being erased. Then, they made it appear in a delayed manner, so even if some nasty effects were somehow removed in the beginning, the tracking hex would continue to remain.
"Big sister, it's only been a day and a half, but I missed you so much!~"
Shirley jumped like a little girl while embracing Evelynn, causing the latter to laugh.
"I missed you too, Shirley~"
Evelynn and Shirley celebrated their reunion. On the other hand, Dewzai and Rea Tyriel had just arrived, raising their brows at each other as they turned slightly hostile. However, Evelynn and Shirley looked like they were in their own world, firmly holding each other as they shared the warmth of family.
They could even feel the hardships they had gone through, knowing it wasn't easy to survive here.
"Have you seen Isabella?" Quickly, Evelynn asked.
"No, I didn't sense her. I can't sense Flamerose and Frostrose either, but if our bloodlines resonate, we should be able to sense each other. By now, I also guess they would've become Immortal Emperors, so they might start flaring up their bloodline after being able to handle themselves. We only have to wait for them..."
"Alright..."
The two of them let go and looked at each other's company, wondering what was going on.
"Big sister, this here is Dewzai. She's an Emperor-Tier Fey of the Devilish Flame Fox Clan, but we met and went through dangers together, so she shouldn't be dangerous until the new trials, I think..."
Evelynn nodded, "You don't need an introduction for Rea Tyriel, right?"
"Aha~"
Shirley laughed, her gaze locking on Rea Tyriel.
"Great, now there's two of you whom I can't beat." Rea Tyriel harrumphed, "This is ridiculous..."
"Make that three~" Dewzai stepped forward, causing Rea Tyriel to raise her brows.
"You're more injured, so I have plenty of chances to defeat you."
"..."
Dewzai wasn't able to refute that. However, she definitely didn't want to be the weakest here, causing her to take a step forward and make her power known.
However, Shirley raised her hand, stopping her.
"Let's not fight, or if you two want to fight, don't come with us. Let's go, big sister~"
Shirley grabbed Evelynn's arm and looked like she wanted to be doted on, causing Dewzai to blink.
To have such respect for Evelynn, was she extremely powerful...? Or was it because she was the first wife of the Divine Emperor of Death and had much favor?
She didn't know but wanted to see.
The four of them started to move.
