The thought turned in an instant, and the domain silently covered the surrounding hundred miles. Those guarding the bedside hadn’t noticed when Scarlett Jennings’ figure appeared on the ground floor of the Jennings Family house.
It was breakfast ti at the Jennings Family. Everyone knew that Scarlett was still asleep, but they didn’t expect her to wake up so early.
Lucas Jennings and Isria Jennings, who were already sitting at the table and being urged to eat and go to school, stood up excitedly when they saw her.
"Sister! You’re awake!"
Isria also ran towards her, calling out, "Sister! You’re awake!"
Scarlett looked at the little one in front of her, then at the table full of breakfast foods, and simply pushed aside the little one in front of her, going straight to the dining table to sit down.
Old Sir Jiang, Blaise Jennings, and Flora Xalvadora looked at Scarlett with the sa concern in their eyes. Seeing that she seed hungry, they imdiately asked the maid to serve her so vegetable porridge and asked,
"How do you feel? Should we have the family doctor co over and check on you again after breakfast?"
"What about Donovan and your mom? You were asleep all day yesterday, and they stayed by your side. Why didn’t they co down to eat with you?"
Scarlett glanced at Old Sir Jiang and Flora Xalvadora speaking, ignored them, and instead looked at the porridge that was brought to her. Then she looked at another fruit juice placed beside Lucas and suddenly spoke,
"I want that one."
Before the others could react, in a flash, the juice that Lucas hadn’t touched was already in Scarlett’s hand.
anwhile, the vegetable porridge in front of her appeared in front of Lucas.
Lucas, seeing this skill, imdiately had his eyes lit up, not minding at all that his juice had been taken, looking at his sister with a bright gaze.
The two little ones were full of admiration, but Old Sir Jiang and the others found it sowhat strange.
Although Scarlett had not spent much ti at ho in the past three years, she had gotten along well with most of the family, much better than when she first arrived.
Even if the family accepted and recognized her knowledge of magic and sorcery, she never used magic lightly on family mbers.
Sothing like swapping juice with magic was sothing she’d never done before and didn’t seem like sothing she would do.
The couple from the third household, rather indulgent towards their niece, smiled to ease the tension when they saw her swap the juice,
"If Scarlett wants juice, then Lucas, you can have the vegetable porridge. I’ll have soone make you another glass."
Lucas didn’t care about a glass of juice and waved his hand dominantly,
"If my sister wants to drink it, let her have it. I don’t need it."
Isria, feeling slightly neglected by Scarlett earlier, ran over with her milk in hand, offering it to Scarlett,
"Sister, my milk tastes good too."
Under normal circumstances, Scarlett wouldn’t drink her milk, but this ti Scarlett glanced at the milk in her hand, took it without hesitation, and drank a sip, then another, finally concluding,
"It’s not as good as milk tea."
She pushed the remaining milk back to Isria.
Now, even Lucas could see that sothing was off with Scarlett.
Old Sir Jiang slightly frowned, watching Scarlett with a sowhat serious expression.
At that mont, people upstairs seed to finally notice Scarlett’s absence.
Donovan Jennings, Magnolia Hearne, and Luca Jennings hurriedly ca downstairs and, seeing Scarlett sitting at the table drinking juice and eating a bun, first breathed a sigh of relief but soon noticed sothing amiss.
The look Scarlett gave them was odd.
"Scarlett?" Magnolia Hearne tentatively asked. Scarlett tilted her head, sensed the blood connection with Magnolia, and didn’t ignore her this ti, just raised an eyebrow and lazily replied,
"Hmm? Calling ?"
Donovan’s heart sank, and his usually smiling eyes hardened.
This wasn’t Scarlett.
Scarlett wouldn’t talk to her mother like this.
Who was she?
Luca and Magnolia, equally convinced that sothing was wrong with Scarlett, knew their daughter well.
Magnolia instinctively tensed up, about to speak, intending to ask who she was.
Just then, Scarlett suddenly showed a serious expression, quickly glancing at a certain spot.
Everyone followed her gaze, and shortly, a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere.
It was Samuel Chalrs, who sensed Scarlett’s awakening.
He should have been waiting with Magnolia Hearne for Scarlett to wake up, but the Five-Colored Divine Soul had just been separated from Shu’e, and so instability had occurred with the soul last night, so Samuel went to help stabilize it.
Upon sensing Scarlett’s awakening, he arrived instantly without any regard for the presence of others in the Jennings family.
But as his sight settled on that familiar figure, he acutely sensed sothing different.
The soul and aura were still that person’s, but sothing was clearly not right.
Compared to Samuel’s bewildernt, Scarlett, upon seeing him, seed montarily dazzled, then after a clear look, slowly gave him a smile.
A smile distinct from any she wore before, carrying joy and exuberance.
The instant she stood up, her figure flickered to appear before him, as if opening her arms to hug him.
Samuel frowned but instinctively stepped back, avoiding her embrace.
In Scarlett’s eyes flashed a hint of disappointnt, just for a mont, and then ca a trace of dissatisfaction and danger.
Out of nowhere, ten tails unfolded behind her, and as the demonic power spread, the surroundings instantly disappeared.
The place was the sa, but Samuel knew she had pulled him alone into her domain.
With a swift movent, her ten tails stretched out from behind her, encircling him in an open gesture, forcibly pulling him closer.
Scarlett glared at him, her gaze filled with evident dissatisfaction, and her voice bore a tinge of danger, her tone slightly rising,
"Are you avoiding ?"
At this mont, not realizing who it is before him ant Samuel would truly be blind.
And precisely because he knew who "she" was, Samuel couldn’t bring himself to resist her, letting her press him closer with her tails, but he spoke up, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness within his restrained voice,
"Althea, I am no longer Damian."
His gentle words were barely spoken when Samuel could feel the tension in the tails pulling him. And before him, Scarlett...
More accurately, Scarlett, whose consciousness was occupied by a wisp of Althea’s Divine Soul, upon having her na unveiled, instantly saw her original long black hair turning snow-white and rapidly growing longer, until it cascaded onto the ground.
Within the domain, her appearance also underwent transformation, and in the blink of an eye, the Scarlett before him turned into the image of their first eting in the Phoenix Courtyard.
Brows and eyes as clear as if able to glimpse the mysteries of everything, beneath the water-like gaze, there lay a hidden trace of sorrow.
She stared at him intently, the emotions gathering in her eyes, ultimately becoming a tranquil lake, and when she spoke, her tone remained lazy and casual as in the past, yet her voice, like smoke that would scatter with a breath—
"I know."
