1314: A Thousand Peonies Bloom
Freedom Day

Yue, standing near his heirloom. His lips began to cast a spell. From a distance, Shuwan observes it. Not long after that, the psychic's heirloom shook.

“What happened? Why does the box vibrate?” ask Shuwan.

“The heirloom was resonating with the spell that Yue was chanting. Just wait for what will happen next,” explained Liko.

The chest trembled even more violently as Yue's spell reached its peak, until the chest opened, and a blood-red light burst out from within it.

It was seen that Yue was still standing quietly while finishing her spell. Both of his hands extended forward, as if transferring his strength into a chest.

The blood red light seemed to grow even more dense. Shuwan's vision was unable to penetrate him. What the hell is going on over there? My eyes could not penetrate it, Shuwan's mind was curious.

Slowly, the light faded. 3 Shuwan's friends were lying on the floor unconscious.

Shuwan immediately ran towards Zhang and clasped his body. “Zhang... Be aware... It's me, Shuwan,” Shuwan yelled at Zhang who was still unresponsive.

Suddenly Yue spoke to Shuwan, “Their souls are still left inside this coffin. As loud as you scream, they won't wake up,” Yue said.

Shuwan who heard this explanation became startled. “Ma-still behind? I think when their bodies come back, their souls will come back too,” Shuwan said, confused and worried.

Yue looked at Shuwan coldly, just like his character in life. He then said, “At this moment I am a spirit, my power is limited. So, I can't free their souls.”

“Then, how can their souls be free from there?” shuwan asked Yue.

“Quite destroy her navel,” short Yue.

Shuwan fell silent, his mind engulfed in a thousand questions. But only one he can remove, “How to destroy the heirloom?”

“I will go into your body, and make a seal to destroy that heirloom,” Yue said.

After hearing Yue's words, Shuwan's eyes widened. “Why, why did you have to get into my body? Can't you just use your own spirit?” Shuwan.

“So I told you, that I am now a spirit whose power is limited. What's more, it's been used to open the chest and get your friends out. Moreover, the spirit cannot touch things,” lighted Yue.

“Ta-but, why should my body?” ask Shuwan back.

Yue replied calmly, “Of course because your soul is still with your body. By utilizing your awareness and strength, I can create a seal to destroy that heirloom.”

Yue's gaze seemed to be sad, “I've lived in this world for thousands of years. My death was also very sad. Honestly, I was tired of waiting, until I finally arrived, the day I would be free from here. The one who was destined to set me free has arrived, you. If the gods allow, I just want to reincarnate into an ordinary person and live quietly,” Yue said.

The pity Shuwan finally approved of Yue, “Alright, I agreed to it,” Shuwan briefly.

Yue nodded, he walked closer to Shuwan, “You rest easy, I will not do anything that could threaten your safety,” Yue said before entering Shuwan's body.

“I'll hold your word."

Yue gave instructions, “Deliver both your hands,” the door.

Shuwan then extended both his hands, and both of Yue's hands were pinned to Shuwan's. Instantly, Yue had already managed to enter, and took over Shuwan's body.

“Liko, do you still keep that ash?” tanya Yue who used Shuwan's body.

“Of course, I always bring it until today arrives,” replied Liko while giving her ash pouch to Yue.

Yue started by putting the crate on the floor. He then sprinkled the ashes in the bag by forming a hexagon. After sprinkling the ashes, he continued by casting a spell.

The chest shook violently, until it sounded like a broken wood, and it suddenly exploded.

Yes, the chest exploded after being recited a spell. The fog from the explosion made Shuwan cough even though it was Yue who was currently controlling his body.

After the fog was thinned, there were 3 pieces of light left. The light scattered, and each entered the bodies of its owners, namely Zhang, Jiao, and Yu Hao. It is the souls, which return to the body of the owner.

Since the heirloom was destroyed, Yue's spirit came out of Shuwan's body. At once Shuwan's body became very weak, as his energy was absorbed a lot while destroying the heirloom.

After Yue's spirit came out, it apparently became increasingly transparent slowly.

“Love? That's an impossible thing for me,” Shuwan briefly.

“The person who from the beginning was destined with you will change all that. From time to time, he is always with you. You will know for sure when you successfully complete this last journey,” said Yue whose body began to disappear. “Thank you for setting me free, one day if I meet you in the next life, I hope I can be your confidant,” Yue free spirit disappeared.

“Ugh.. Where are we?” Zhang began to wake up.

Shuwan who was still sitting limp was swiftly heading towards Zhang and the others after hearing their consciousness.

Finally Zhang, Jiao, and Yu Hao sat awake. Shuwan could not hold back his should.

“I had such a sad and painful nightmare. I feel like it's real,” Yu Hao said.

“True, I feel the same way. It felt like I had been asleep for a very long time,” Jiao continued Yu Hao's words.

Shuwan's inward, it's all real. You just don't realize it. “That's important you guys are up ‘right now?” shuwan said, smiling gently.

In the middle of the blue raging atmosphere, suddenly the place they stood on shook so violently, like there was an earthquake struck.

“Ke-why does this place vibrate?” panicked Jiao said, they hurried to their feet.

Shuwan who is not strong standing will stagger to fall, but managed to be captured by Zhang.

“It looks like you are very tired. In that case, let me carry you for a while,” said Zhang who was worried about Shuwan's condition.

“A-what? Carrying? I can walk on my own, so there is no need to trouble you,” Shuwan refused.

Zhang smiled cynically, “Heh... Walk on? Just stand up you can't,” tease Zhang.

“You!” Shuwan bluffed a little.

“Already do not say much and make me more worried,” said Zhang who unconsciously the words were just thrown from his sweet mouth.

Without further ado, Zhang immediately crouched down and invited Shuwan to climb onto his back.

Shuwan who was also aware at the limit of his strength did not refuse. He agreed to take Zhang.

Why is it that every time I'm with Zhang I always feel comfortable? The smell of Zhang's body seemed familiar to me in my nose. Even the sound too. Haish.. Again I think too much. Inner Shuwan is fucked.

“How will we get out of here?” said Yu Hao who grew more panicked as the sand began to fall from above.

“This place looks like it's going to collapse. If we don't get out soon, we can be buried alive here, Jiao” chimed in.

“You guys take it easy, I will open the portal to get out of here,” suddenly Liko enters the conversation.

“K-cat it can talk?” Jiao surprised. So did Zhang and Yu Hao.

“The heirloom is the magical protector of this place, because it has been destroyed, of course this place will also be destroyed,” explained Liko.

“Then, Liko, let's quickly help us get out of here!” Shuwan Pinta.

If I die buried here, then it's over. Inner Shuwan is becoming.

Liko immediately cast a spell, then appeared a dimensional portal to exit the palace, right behind them.

Jiao and Yu Hao entered first. When Zhang was about to enter, Shuwan recalled Liko. “Wait,” pinta Shuwan. He then looked back, “Liko, don't you want to get out of here too?” ask Shuwan.

“I am the keeper of Soul Binding Heirlooms. Since the heirloom is no longer there, then I will also disappear. No need to worry about me,” explained Liko. “You better be quick, or else you can die buried here. My power has begun to weaken,” Pinta Liko.

Without a second thought, Zhang directly ran into the portal. Shuwan still looks at Liko who is in the back, alone there, until the portal slowly closes and removes Liko from Shuwan's sight.

Liko, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to bring my friends back. I hope we can meet again later. Shuwan said in his heart. He hugged Zhang's body tightly. His eyes feel sleepy. Unknowingly, he fell asleep in Zhang's arms.
