Bonds of souls

A-ji's Overwhelming Guilt

In the end, the doctors were unanimous in agreeing that the emperor should be taken to the ancient cave that was famous for concentrating demonic powers that activated special spiritual stones capable of supplying and healing the body of a demon and even, the jiaozhu of a jiaoren if it were necessary.

The problem with using the underwater cave was that he couldn't use medicine. The cure had to be natural and they considered that the monarch was more likely to have a better cure in the cave than with medicines because it increased the chance of recovery although there was still a risk of life.

In the end, the decision to take him was taken by the emperor's younger brother, Chang Shi, grand vizier and royal advisor, who carried his older brother, Chang Dai, to the cave and then deposited him in the center from the healing chamber which was surrounded by special spirit stones.

After placing him while the scepter of the ocean was next to the emperor who did not let go of it even once, he moves away and everyone starts to keep vigil in the cure of their sovereign while the grand vizier laments that the adopted son of the emperor, Shang Which, if he wasn't in the kingdom because maybe he would have avoided Chang Yi's capture.

After all, they were inseparable brothers and surely, both would join forces making them gain time until the arrival of their father to avoid capture in the hands of the Grand Master.

It was a pity in his eyes that the black dragon left for training and that the young crown prince could not accompany him because he was being trained by his father to one day inherit the empire of the oceans. As he was heading to a secluded spot, he received authorization from Chang Dai as long as he kept away from any human or human crowd no matter how small.

Meanwhile, on land, more precisely on the outskirts of Dacheng Palace, the box is taken at the same time that A-ji's friends manage to get it out of the miserable state it was in, at least partially because the princess could not stop looking desolately at the horizon showing tearful eyes and a silent cry while feeling completely useless.

It was all her fault in the young woman's view because in her view, she was to blame for the fate of the jiaoren who had saved her at the same time that she had fallen in love with him.

With difficulty taking his gaze away from the horizon after sighing sadly while rudely drying his eyes, A-ji notices out of the corner of his eyes that his friend's sword glows, and then, the metallic glow takes human form after separating from the waist and when the brightness ceases, reveals a young woman beside him wearing black and red clothes, in addition to having black hair and onyx eyes, with the girl identifying her as a demon because of her demonic aura and if she was with her friend, it could only mean a thing and as he thought about it, his countenance displayed displeasure in Lin Haoqing's direction while asking with distaste in his voice, 'Have you turned a demon into your slave? We promised that we would never enslave demons through the curse of the master-slave contract."

"No. We don't have a Master-Slave contract. She is free to leave whenever she wishes. She chose to stay with me."

She looks suspiciously at the situation, with the young demon being dismayed, and then speaks, "It's true. His father thinks I'm his slave. But, it's a lie. He returned the power I passed and freed me from the curse. I chose to follow him after he saved my life. I want to pay off this debt."

The young demon speaks as she blushes slightly as she looks at Haoqing who seems not to notice the slight blush on her cheeks as she sighs.

"Look."

He makes specific hand seals that were used to demonstrate the demon's bond of bondage to the demon master and in doing so, it is visible to all that there was no hint of a bond.
