Ming Shu didn't feel nothing, though. When the formation was running, her body was a little uncontrolled. It seemed that some certain power was trying to expel her from this body.

A fierce pulling of the soul from the flesh... and that feeling was not a little uncomfortable.

The light of the array was growing brighter and brighter.

Ming Shu's figure was almost obscured by the strong light, left with only a vague outline.

Mu Huai rushed out of the forest and just saw that Ming Shu's figure was swallowed up by the light. He couldn't tell what it was like for him at the time, feeling neither sad nor angry.

It was a strangely calm atmosphere.

The dome of light was compressing downwards, joining with the ground array. Mu Huai put aside the strange feeling in his heart and moved as the wind to attack the prince.

The prince was now the evil spirit king, who didn't stop Mu Huai from approaching the formation. His golden pupils revealed a strange luster and he said darkly, "It's too late."

Looking at the functioning array in front of him, Mu Huai was a little hesitant. He could interrupt the process, but that might also hurt the person inside.

And most importantly...

Is it worth it?

His mission was to keep the Dragon Root from being destroyed—in other words, not to let these evil spirits run about.

But now the task was definitely failed.

If he wasted his energy to save others, it would be a thankless task.

Save her?

Or leave her?

He promised the master that he would protect her. Although he failed his mission, he had to keep his word.

So, just save her.

Mu Huai found himself a good excuse in his heart, then took a deep breath and began to prepare to interrupt the formation.

But just as he struck a pose and before he could gather any power, the light of the array suddenly dissipated, like clouds blown away by the wind. In an instant, the light vanished without a trace.

And those evil spirits standing in the periphery to maintain the formation earlier also disappeared. They turned to small specks of light and vanished at the same time the light did.

Mu Huai: "..."

What the hell?

It's over? I haven't started!

My chance at being the hero was ruined again?

No, why am I saying "again"...

The girl at the center of the formation was sitting cross-legged, and the light surrounding her body was slowly fading.

The prince excitedly rushed to her. "Little Ci, Little Ci..."

The girl looked up. Picturesque eyebrows, beautiful curled lips. The ripples in her eyes spread out in small circles.

"Sorry, Your Highness, it's me."

An apology bearing no sincerity at all. The prince's expression changed immediately.

"Why..." He was a little helpless, like a child who couldn't find the way home, and his fragility was totally exposed in his eyes. "Little Ci? Why is it you again, where's my Little Ci?"
