Chapter 556: Chapter 221: The Temperament Seems a Bit... Like a Housewife

Church of Death.

"All the souls of the Splitting Demons have been taken away?" Luwei, sitting elegantly in her chair, propped her chin with one hand as she inquired to the Tiger King:

"Can you find out who is behind this?"

The Tiger King, arms crossed over his chest, pondered for a moment, "I don’t know."

Luwei rolled her eyes, gently pressed her temples with her fingers, and began to differentiate her personality, reasoning who could have taken the souls of the Splitting Demons.

"In this world, the person who has the power to simultaneously take all the souls of the Splitting Demons, as well as the motive and strength, can only be that lady from Eden who used to be the Tree of Omniscience."

The Tiger King expressed his doubts, "Now there’s no point in her getting back the souls of the Splitting Demons, unless the All-Knowing Saintess intends to remake the Splitting Demon into a weapon and present it to the King of Ash at the end of time."

"Perhaps she doesn’t want the souls of the Splitting Demon to cause too much strife." Luwei guessed, "And after all, it was a gift the All-Knowing Saintess gave to Ahtal. It’s normal for her to want to take it back."

"That makes sense." The Tiger King nodded, finding no issues with Luwei’s analysis.

He scratched his head.

"These people’s emotional relationships are indeed complex, but thanks to their existence, the King of Ash still has nostalgia for the old world."

"Yes, the emotions truly are complex." Luwei’s voice trailed off, revealing a touch of melancholy. According to the future accounts, she should have had a good relationship with Ahtal and theoretically retained the memories before the Time Retrospection. However, she lacked these memories, even though the puppet girl and Shark Girl Kaschte both had theirs.

According to the description of Shark Girl Kaschte and the puppet girl, she was the brain of the Church of Death chosen by Ahtal and made outstanding contributions to the Church of Death.

Why couldn’t she have a share of the preserved memories?

In the outskirts of a remote mountain village.

"The preparation for the relevant ritual still requires some time." Eden said from the entrance of the village, inquiring to Ahtal:

"Is there anything else that needs to be added in detail?"

"I have said all that needs to be said." Xi Mu shook his head, gaze drifting towards the distance, "Now we just need to follow the plan."

"Right." Eden responded calmly, then reached out to touch Ahtal’s cheek, intently observing the humanity in Ahtal’s eyes. After noticing there wasn’t much reduction, she drew back her hand from the cheek.

"Please be careful to maintain your humanity."

"I should not lose my humanity so easily." Xi Mu gave a light chuckle, then turned and vanished from the spot.

Left behind, Eden lowered her eyelids slightly upon hearing this. Even if the Lord’s personality wouldn’t shake Ahtal’s humanity, the elevation to a divine state would inevitably lead Ahtal to a shift in thinking because of his position.

Ahtal was already showing signs of change. His attitude towards her remained as ever, but treating ordinary people could not possibly be like before.

This process was almost unchangeable.

...

At night.

Iris Flower Palace.

Pure moonlight pierced through gaps in the clouds, scattering on the mirror-like lake surface, and a gentle evening breeze caused ripples to spread in layers.

At this time when all should be slumbering in dreams, Letixia, dressed in a gorgeous long gown, sat elegantly at the edge of the lake, her skirt spreading like a flower, revealing a section of her slender, jade-like legs, partially submerged in the translucent water.

She playfully kicked her legs, creating circle after circle of ripples.

"It’s really too difficult to see the princess." A voice that sounded like a complaint came from not far away, and Fifine, wearing a light purple dress, approached. Lifting the hem of her gown, she sat down very naturally beside Letixia:

"Why do you have time to meet with me tonight?"

"The Alchemical Witch has other matters to attend to." Letixia turned her head, looking at her friend beside her, and showed a smile, "And if you really wanted to see me, you could have gone to the Alchemy Workshop on the volcano."

"I’m not the one who’s been graced by the King of Ash." Fifine rolled her eyes lightly, taking in the more mature aura and the hint of a matron about Letixia before frowning slightly:

"Letixia, you... seem to have changed a bit."

"Changed?" Letixia briefly startled, then extended a hand as if to catch the moonlight, feeling her enhanced Magic Power.

"Indeed, my power has grown stronger recently..." Before she could finish, Fifine waved her hand, interrupting the remainder of her sentence.

"It’s not about a change in power. It’s a change in temperament." Fifine pinched her chin, scrutinizing Letixia, who now seemed more mature and nurturing, and thought seriously about her own feelings.

"Now you seem more mature, like a queen who has been married?"

In her eyes, Letixia now had the maturity and compassion of a married woman. While she may have lost the sternness of a princess, the maturity and tenderness were even more enchanting, stirring a feeling of longing.

But this change was too abrupt; from a strict and earnest princess, she had become a wise and mature queen in a blink of an eye.

"It’s probably because of the night..." Letixia said with a smirk, adjusting her posture to revert to her original stern princess demeanor.

Seeing this, Fifine nodded and did not delve into why Letixia had suddenly changed, perhaps it really was the night’s gentle ambience causing her to feel like Letixia had softened and matured.

"Speaking of which." Letixia chose to change the subject, "Did you come to find me for a reason?"
