Chapter 511 Final Episode
Chapter 511 Final Episode
The Demon Temple had almost been reduced to ashes. The flames that had once been high up in the sky had now descended, and the flames were only about two or three feet high. The scorching flames were cooled by the night wind and were no longer as hot as before. Yuan Rong's screams gradually disappeared, and only a few faint cries could be heard occasionally.
At this time, Ji Anni, Yizhen, and the Ghost King all turned their backs to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, staring at the translucent ghost shadow emerging from behind Concubine An.
Concubine An fell to the ground unconscious and had not yet regained consciousness. The ghost figure that looked very much like Shui Furong screamed in the dark night and kept trying to jump out.
The Ghost King suddenly said, "The demon is almost dead, the shikigami shouldn't be so violent."
Yizhen said softly, "She doesn't seem to want to attack us, she just wants to escape."
After listening to Yizhen's words, Ji Anni carefully observed the ghost again. As expected, she found that although the ghost struggled very hard, its expression was not sinister, but anxious. It seemed that it had some unfulfilled wish and was eager to complete it before Sui Yuanrong was completely destroyed.
At this moment, the ghost suddenly screamed and finally rushed out of Concubine An's body, floating in the air.
"Hibiscus...Hibiscus..." the ghost muttered several times, his eyes not staying on Ji Anni's group, but looking around, and finally looking straight in one direction. Ji Anni followed her gaze, and combined with the few times she just said "Hibiscus", she immediately realized that she was staring at the West Palace where Shui Furong was.
"What does she want to do?" Ji Anni whispered to herself nervously.
Suddenly, the ghost figure suddenly flew up. A faint white light quickly cut through the night sky and fell in the direction of the West Palace like a meteor.
Ji Anni was startled and stood up in a hurry. She didn't have time to think about it, her body had already made the most honest reaction. She dragged her wounded body and ran in the direction where the ghost disappeared. Strangely enough, perhaps because of the help of Xue Lan's demonic power, she actually flew up.
"Stop! Wait!" I shouted subconsciously, but the ghost had disappeared.
Ji Anni shuttled through the woods and headed straight for the West Palace. The wounds on her body were still bleeding, and every movement would cause the wounds to move, bringing waves of pain. The cold night wind passed over her face, and her face quickly lost its temperature, becoming cold and unconscious.
After a while, Ji Anni had landed in the West Palace.
Knowing magic is really convenient. If it was her in the past, it would definitely take her half an hour to run from the Demon Temple to the West Palace, and even if she got to the West Palace, she couldn't get in. But now it's different. She flew all the way here, and the wall was basically useless. After landing, she didn't feel breathless at all.
Ji Anni hurried to Shui Furong's door, knocking and shouting, "Furong! Furong!"
Furong didn't respond, and Ji Anni rushed to the door anxiously. With a loud "pop", the door actually opened.
The room was dark, with only a faint white light shining on the edge of the bed. Upon closer inspection, it was not white light at all, but a translucent ghost.
"What do you want to do?" Ji Anni rushed forward. Now that she herself was a monster, she was no longer afraid of ghosts.
The ghost seemed not to hear Ji Anni's voice. It sat quietly beside the bed, staring intently at the sleeping Shui Furong.
After all, the ghost was Yuan Rong's Shikigami. Ji Anni was afraid that she would harm Shui Furong, so she rushed over and grabbed her hand, trying to drive her away from Shui Furong. But after grabbing her, she found that the other party was just a group of spiritual thoughts and had no entity at all. Her hand passed directly through her figure without any feeling at all.
At this time, Shui Furong, who was awakened by Ji Anni, opened her eyes dazedly. "Xiao Zhao..." Shui Furong suddenly woke up after seeing Ji Anni beside the bed, got up suddenly, lifted the gauze curtain and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you in Xian Palace? Am I dreaming?"
Shui Furong kept staring at Ji Anni and didn’t even glance at the ghost because he couldn’t see it at all.
Ji Anni subconsciously glanced at the ghost, only to see the ghost staring at Shui Furong tenderly, without any words or movements, just staring quietly. Ji Anni didn't know what she was trying to do, so she reflexively stood in front of Shui Furong, staring at the ghost warily.
Shui Furong was startled by Ji Anni's intense reaction and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
After seeing Ji Anni staring at the front vigilantly, he suddenly reacted, shivered and asked: "Is there something strange in this room?" He looked around nervously, but found nothing.
"Hibiscus..." At this time, the ghost looked at Shui Hibiscus with a loving and gentle look.
Ji Annie's guard weakened in an instant because she could feel that the other party had no ill intentions.
The ghost said to Ji Anni, "I don't have much time left, let me take a good look at him..." The begging tone made Ji Anni even more soft-hearted.
"Who... are you..." Ji Anni still stood in front of Shui Furong, not daring to move aside rashly. Maybe this was a trick of the other party, waiting for her to let down her guard and then attack Shui Furong. Ji Anni, who had not yet completely believed in the ghost, did not dare to take the risk.
The ghost showed a lonely smile and said: "I am his sister, I will not harm him..."
Ji Anni was secretly shocked, thinking that she was indeed Consort Shui. Shui Furong disguised herself as a woman and entered the palace just to find out the cause of his sister's death. Unexpectedly, his sister's ghost lingered and became Yuan Rong's Shikigami. Shui Furong must also want to see her sister for the last time, but... can she really be trusted?
At this time, the ghost slowly stretched out his hand, passed over Ji Anni's shoulder, and gently stroked Shui Furong's cheek.
Ji Anni still stood in front of Shui Furong, not daring to let the ghost get close. But when the ghost stretched out his hand, she did not resist, and let the ghost's right hand fall on Shui Furong's face. Shui Furong's body stiffened for a moment, and a strange feeling made him want to cry.
"Furong..." The ghost's translucent fingertips brushed across Furong's cheek, but in fact it couldn't touch her at all and she didn't feel anything.
But Shui Furong suddenly said, "Xiao Zhao... I, I seem to feel that there is a very familiar person here..." She subconsciously grabbed Ji Anni's shoulder and looked around the room again, but still saw nothing. "Who are you talking to? Who is here?"
Shui Furong not only couldn't see the ghost, but she couldn't even hear any sound. From just now till now, she only saw and heard Ji Anni talking to the void in front of her.
Ji Anni's attention was all on the ghost. She did not answer Shui Furong's question for the time being, but asked the ghost: "You will disappear once Yuan Rong dies, so you want to come and see Furong for the last time?"
The ghost nodded slightly and stared at Ji Anni with pleading eyes.
Ji Anni felt a pang of heartache. She didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly said something incredible. "Then, then enter my body."
Since she could enter Concubine An's body, she should be able to enter her own body as well. But doing so is undoubtedly very dangerous, because after her body is controlled by the ghost, Ji Anni doesn't know what the other party will do.
"But..." The ghost showed a surprised expression and stared at Ji Anni in disbelief.
Ji Anni growled, "There's no time left. Hurry up. Before I change my mind, take the time to see him one last time." This was not only for the wronged soul, but also for Shui Furong. Because Ji Anni knew that Shui Furong also missed her sister and wanted to see her one last time. The ghost was about to turn to ashes, and even if she controlled the body, it would only be a short moment. However, this moment was the moment that Shui Furong had been looking forward to for more than three years.
"Xiao Zhao, who are you talking to?" Shui Furong couldn't help asking again, her tone even more hurried. In fact, he had already vaguely guessed who Ji Anni was talking to, but he didn't dare to believe his guess, so he wanted to get a clear answer from Ji Anni.
At this moment, the ghost suddenly nodded and quickly entered Ji Annie's body.
Ji Anni only felt a cold wind piercing her heart, subconsciously closed her eyes, and then merged with the ghost. This feeling was very wonderful, the ghost's thoughts merged with her own thoughts, and she could feel the ghost's thoughts. Although she could not control her body, she knew what she was doing and saying.
When she opened her eyes again, the look in her eyes was completely different from before.
"Xiao Zhao..." Shui Furong stared at Ji Anni in surprise, speechless. The Ji Anni in front of him was familiar yet strange, because her appearance was the Ji Anni he was familiar with, but her expression was different; strange yet familiar, the strange expression looked familiar upon closer inspection, especially the loving and melancholy eyes, which were exactly like hers... exactly like hers...
"Sister?" She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. At this moment, Shui Furong finally saw the soul hidden in Ji Anni's body through hers.
"Furong..." Xiwei, who possessed Ji Anni, smiled with relief, gently opened his arms, and embraced Shui Furong. This time, she was no longer a translucent spirit, but had a real body. She finally touched Shui Furong.
Shui Furong leaned on Xi Wei's shoulder and asked blankly, "Sister, what's going on? Aren't you... aren't you inside Concubine An's body?"
Xiwei hugged Shui Furong and said, "Furong, my sister doesn't have much time left..."
"Why? Where are you going?" Shui Furong raised her head excitedly.
Xi Wei did not answer, but just talked about another matter softly: "Furong, do you still remember that your sister has a wish..."
Xiwei's words immediately caused Shui Furong's memory to regress, and she vaguely returned to her childhood.
The wind was light, the clouds were clear, the flowers were red and the willows were green. He saw himself in a beautiful courtyard, looking up at his sister.
My sister asked gently, "Why are you unhappy again?"
Little Furong said sadly, "I am unhappy because mother is unhappy, because mother said I am not like her... like you."
My elder sister said, "You and I are born of the same mother. If you look like me, you look like my mother."
Xiao Furong said, "You don't look like mom. You are prettier than mom. Dad also said you are prettier than mom..."
After hearing this, my sister suddenly showed a look of fear. However, when the breeze blew again, the gentle smile returned to her face.
"I want to get away from here, to a place where no one knows me."
"I'd be lonely if I couldn't see my sister."
"As long as you don't die, there will always be a chance to meet again."
"What if I die?"
"I won't die before I see you, because I have a wish, a wish that only you can fulfill for me." There was great pain hidden in the beautiful eyes of the elder sister. "But I have to wait until the day you grow up before I can tell you this wish..."
