Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Everlasting Youthful Complexion_1
The inner struggle forced Qin Sisi to sigh deeply, her head slightly dropped.
While the scale inside Qin Sisi’s mind was still swinging, the vampire could no longer bear the burning of the Ziwei Heaven Fire and began to yell: "I agree, I agree, I am willing to offer my soul power, please release !"
The hoarse voice was roaring like a beast, sounding quite terrifying.
Hearing the vampire’s cry, Qin Sisi sighed helplessly, perhaps it was fate.
She turned her head to look at Ye You, and surprisingly, he was also looking at her, his eyes hinting at a certain questioning.
Qin Sisi knew that Ye You was worried that she wouldn’t be willing to spare this abominable vampire, so he hadn’t imdiately withdrawn the Ziwei Heaven Fire.
Seeing Ye You’s thoughtful consideration, warmth filled her heart, compelling her to make a decision.
She could feel Ye You’s urgency to return to the Demon Sacred Realm, hence the soul power was important to him.
Realizing this, Qin Sisi nodded firmly to Ye You.
Ye You stretched out his claw towards the vampire and slightly withdrew it. Imdiately, the Ziwei Heaven Fire was withdrawn from the vampire’s body and vanished into Ye You’s hand.
The vampire’s black robe had been almost completely burned away, revealing an indescribable colored undergarnt and blackened skin smoked by the fire, resembling dry, aged tree bark.
Qin Sisi stayed silent, her pretty eyes expressionlessly staring at the vampire, waiting for her to state her terms.
Even though the Ziwei Heaven Fire had been withdrawn, the vampire’s expression was still in agony. The legend that dying by fire was one of the most painful deaths seed to hold so truth.
After a while, the vampire’s expression began to soften. Looking at Qin Sisi and Ye You, her eyes were filled with resentnt and fear - the agony of being burned by fire was indeed unforgettable.
"I want a body that remains forever young, and a face that never ages," said the vampire.
The raspy voice resounded each word one by one, a hint of cunning flashed in her murky eyes.
Her request was indeed tricky, nobody could stay young and beautiful forever; birth, aging, illness, and death, were eternal laws.
Qin Sisi’s brows furrowed deeply as she turned to look at Ye You.
With his eyes intense, Ye You said with a cold voice.
Qin Sisi turned back and said to the vampire: "No one can escape the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death, including ."
Even I will face aging and death, how could I possibly make you eternally young and beautiful?
The vampire seed to have anticipated Qin Sisi’s response, she smirked triumphantly, uttering, "Since you can’t fulfill my longing, why should I give you my soul power?"
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to sacrifice but rather, the negotiation was unsuccessful.
With her teeth inwardly clenched, Qin Sisi found herself in a moral high ground due to the vampire’s words. To exterminate her now would place a burden on Qin Sisi’s conscience, as doing so would be killing to conceal the truth rather than executing justice.
Ye You pondered briefly before letting out several "ow" sounds.
Watching Qin Sisi’s shoulder where the black cat was sitting, the vampire was curious. This cat was too strange, appearing even more powerful than her master.
Without giving ti to the vampire to further ponder, Qin Sisi stated clearly, "There is a way, only ..."
The vampire’s desire was not casual; it was truly her greatest wish. She had known it would be impossible to attain, but was shocked to hear that Qin Sisi might actually fulfill it.
Excited yet nervous, the vampire asked, "Only what?"
Qin Sisi paused slightly before answering slowly, "If you wish for eternal youth and beauty, be prepared to endure the eternal iciness and loneliness. From then on, sunrise and sunset, blooming and withering of flowers, the passage of ti, reincarnation of life, all will be irrelevant to you. You can only watch, cold and detached."
She thought the vampire might hesitate, but to her surprise, the vampire responded without a second thought, "Alright, I agree. I have been alone for a thousand years, and loneliness is nothing to ."
For her, the most unbearable thing was not the solitude, but the gradual aging of her once beautiful face, beyond repair. Every ti she looked in the mirror it was heart-wrenching and despairing.
Qin Sisi exchanged glances with Ye You, continuing, "Alright, I promise. When your soul is reassembled in the future, I will ensure you have a body that is forever young and a face that never ages."
Qin Sisi’s words were like spring water in a deserted field, nourishing the vampire’s desolate heart.
A promise given to fulfil a deliberate challenge brought great joy to the vampire’s heart, soon followed by a skeptical voice, "Are you sure you can achieve this?"
Qin Sisi nodded with conviction, "I am certain."
The vampire sneered wickedly, "You are a mage, and if you break your promise, you will suffer consequences."
Qin Sisi’s voice grew colder, "I know, you don’t need to remind . Since the conditions are agreed upon, let’s start."
The vampire hesitated but knew that refusing the terms was still a death sentence. Accepting might give her a glimr of hope, a blessing in disguise.
She gritted her teeth, "Let’s do it."
She turned towards Ye You, signaling for him to go ahead. He raised his paw and summoned the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle slowly spun in the air and the vampire gradually felt the calling of the magic artifact. Her frail and parched form gradually turned into a wisp of black smoke, slowly drifting into the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
Seeing the vampire’s soul power being harnessed, Qin Sisi worriedly looked at Ye You, "Can you really fulfill her wish?"
Ye You nodded, "Trust ."
Qin Sisi replied with a frown, "I certainly trust you, I just don’t want her to harm anyone in the future."
Ye You chuckled lightly, saying loudly, "As I said before, trust ."
A thousand years later, in an anonymous ancient tomb, a statue with exquisite craftsmanship and a beautiful design was unearthed.
The statue was carved from white jade, depicting a strikingly beautiful woman.
The woman was shrouded in a white dress, ethereal, like a heavenly being.
Upon a closer look, she possessed a smooth skin that glowed like jade, charming eyebrows, gently pursed lips, tender eyes and a deanor that was absolutely enchanting.
No matter the angle from which one looked at the statue, it always seed as if she was engaging in an eye-to-eye interaction. The deep emotion reflected in her eyes made everyone’s heart skip a beat.
This beautiful and unique statue was housed in a high-end museum, attracting large numbers of tourists to admire its beauty. The crowd never stopped praising her beauty.
However, as night fell and the tourists dispersed, the vast museum was left with only darkness, cold, and solitude.
Ye You had fulfilled his promise; she indeed had a body and face that would never age but as Qin Sisi had said, she would have to live in eternal frigidity and loneliness.
From then on, sunrise and sunset, blooming and withering of flowers, the passage of ti, reincarnation of life, all the bustling worldly affairs had beco irrelevant to her.
She could only remain a beautiful, ice-cold statue.
Of course, she could never harm anyone again.
