Chapter 442: Eating the Most Spicy Roast Meat and Drinking the Best Wine
He didn’t know when Anna would become a fiendish cultivator, nor did he know when he would be able to take human form.
Perhaps Anna would die before he could become human.
But he still wanted to tell her that he liked her.
Due to her family, Anna had never believed in love since she was young, let alone hope that she could have a sincere relationship. However, the sincerity of the Icy Night T-Rex made Anna feel the feeling of being cherished and loved. Anna lowered her eyes and looked at the bleeding Heart-Protecting Scale on her palm. Tears had long flowed down her face.
So this was how it felt to be liked.
Anna handed the dragon scale to the Icy Night T-Rex. She said, “Let it merge with me.” In the Icy Night T-Rex clan, if one party was willing to wear the other party’s Heart-Protecting Scale, it meant that they were husband and wife.
Anna took the initiative to ask the Icy Night T-Rex to merge the Heart-Protecting Scale with her body. This meant that Anna had accepted the Icy Night T-Rex’s confession and was willing to become his partner.
Hearing this, the Icy Night T-Rex was shocked. He asked helplessly, “Really?”
Of course Anna meant it.
From the moment the Icy Night T-Rex ignored the danger and left with her alone while saying to her, “I’m willing to be exiled with you,” Anna had been moved by the Icy Night T-Rex’s sincerity.
Anna was wearing a gothic black dress with black lace sleeves. The dress had several layers. She had taken off her black belt and small jacket, and only wore a pure white gauze dress.
Anna pulled down the sleeve of her short skirt from her shoulder, revealing a fair and slightly bulging chest. She took the initiative to approach the Icy Night T-Rex and pressed the dragon scale with flesh and blood on her chest. She said to the Icy Night T-Rex again, “Please let it become one with me.”
The Icy Night T-Rex could feel Anna’s sincerity and courage. He nodded. “Okay.”
The Icy Night T-Rex caught the Heart-Protecting Scale with its left dragon claw and gently scratched Anna’s chest with its sharp right claw. Anna’s chest immediately bled non-stop.
Anna clenched her fists and frowned in pain, but urged, “Continue.”
Although the Icy Night T-Rex’s heart ached for Anna, he still firmly pressed the Heart-Protecting Scale into Anna’s flesh. The Icy Night T-Rex activated its demonic power. Under the catalysis of his demonic power, the Heart-Protecting Scale gradually fused with the human body.
Anna fell to her knees in pain.
She reached out and grabbed the weeds on the ground tightly. She raised her head and cried out in pain.
However, she never shouted for the Icy Night T-Rex to stop.
This process lasted for about an hour.
At this moment, there was an ice-blue dragon scale on Anna’s fair chest. The Heart-Protecting Scale had fused with her flesh and blood, and it was covered in human bloodline and meridians.
Anna was already numb from the pain. She knelt on the ground with her lips trembling. She looked even more pitiful. With her weak appearance, no one would believe that she was a fiendish cultivator.
The Icy Night T-Rex crawled in front of Anna. Anna could no longer hold on and fell onto the back of the Icy Night T-Rex.
The Icy Night T-Rex turned his head and rubbed against Anna’s arm. He said, “I’ll bring you back to my hometown.”
“… Okay.”
The Icy Night T-Rex carried Anna and leaped into the sky. They flew hundreds of meters into the deep sky and flew towards the center of the primitive forest, beginning a journey of exile.

Late at night, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao left the old dean’s house.
The night sky was filled with stars. Sheng Xiao looked up at the starry night sky. He suddenly held Yu Huang’s fingers and said, “Let’s go home tonight.” They hadn’t returned to their house by the Lovers Lake for a long time.
Yu Huang saw the love in Sheng Xiao’s eyes. She nodded obediently. “Okay.”
There was always someone watching the villa by the lake. Sheng Xiao called the butler in advance. The butler immediately asked the chef to prepare food for them. When they drove home, the chef had already prepared supper.
The supper was a grilled fish and two plates of spicy grilled beef.
Sheng Xiao took out a bottle of green plum wine from the wine cabinet. There was only half of it left.
He carried the tray with the Green Plum Wine and wine glass to the courtyard. Yu Huang had already taken a shower and was waiting for him at the open-air coffee table in a light purple negligee. The bright moon descended from the sky and sprinkled all over her, draping her with a layer of silver light.
Sheng Xiao stood on a small bridge in the courtyard and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him calmly.
There was no wind in the night, but Sheng Xiao’s heart fluttered.
Yu Huang leaned back in her chair lazily and asked without turning her head, “Why are you staring at me?”
Sheng Xiao only walked over with the tray when he was discovered.
He unscrewed the cork and poured half a glass of wine into Yu Huang’s glass. He suddenly said, “Just one glass. I don’t have much Green Plum Wine left. I have to save it.” No one knew if Madam Sheng would return to their side. Sheng Xiao was afraid that he would never get to drink it again if he finished it.
Yu Huang understood what Sheng Xiao meant. She sighed. “There will be a day of reunion.”
Sheng Xiao thought of Sheng Yang, whose whereabouts were unknown. The light in his eyes dimmed. “I wonder how Yang Yang is doing now.”
“Her soul lamp is still lit. Her life isn’t in danger.”
“Na Luo is too difficult to figure out. I wonder what she planned by kidnapping Yang Yang.” Thinking of what Na Luo had done to Anna, Sheng Xiao was worried that Na Luo would use Sheng Yang to do something against the world.
Yu Huang thought of something, and her expression instantly became solemn.
“Let’s not think about this tonight. Come, let’s drink.” The two of them clinked glasses and took a sip of wine before picking up the beef skewer to eat.
The fragrance of the beef spread in Sheng Xiao’s mouth. Sheng Xiao said regretfully, “I’ve never had barbecue with my friends on the street before. When the world is peaceful, we’ll call our best friends and go to the lively night market to eat the most delicious barbecue and drink the best wine. Okay?”
“Alright!”
They finished the food and gradually leaned towards each other with wine glasses. Soon, they sat on the same recliner.
Sheng Xiao finished the last mouthful of Green Plum Wine. He moved his body and took the wine glass from Yu Huang. He threw the wine glass on the table and pressed Yu Huang down.
Yu Huang was already a little drunk. When she looked at Sheng Xiao, she felt that he was wearing a white shirt. It was dreamy and handsome. Yu Huang pinched Sheng Xiao’s ear and burped.
“Brother Xiao.”
“Huh?” Sheng Xiao twirled her hair with his fingertips. He looked at her with a burning gaze that made her cheeks burn.
Yu Huang shamelessly raised her waist and approached Sheng Xiao’s chest. She pressed her fingers on the mole beside Sheng Xiao’s collarbone and said, “I suddenly want to have a child with you.”
Sheng Xiao’s gaze darkened. He wished he could give her all his children and grandchildren…

The next morning, Yu Huang woke up in the master bedroom and heard Sheng Xiao practicing his sword in the courtyard downstairs.
She brushed her teeth and changed into a clean set of clothes. Just as she was about to put on her interspatial ring, she thought of something and hurriedly took out the Eye of All Things.
Yu Huang carried the Eye of All Things to the balcony outside the master bedroom and sat down cross-legged. She raised the Eye of All Things and floated in the void while staring at it and prying. Her adoptive father had said that when her energy was strong enough, she could see a person’s past and future through the Eye of All Things.
Yu Huang was now a Level 4 Purifying Spirit Master. Her soul power was much stronger than before. She, who had once stared at the Eye of All Things for a few minutes and would be exhausted, could now look at it for more than an hour.
Yu Huang’s brown eyes gradually changed. Soon, her eyes turned as black as ink.
Yu Huang quietly stared at the Eye of All Things. Soon, her soul was sucked into a dreamy world that was as ethereal and silent as the universe.
In this dream world, what appeared in front of Yu Huang wasn’t a galaxy of stars, but endless grayish-black lines. These lines were densely intertwined, like a ball of yarn. It was as if all living beings were interacting with each other. Some became husband and wife, some became friends, and some became enemies.
It was the Holy Spirit Continent’s billions of independent soul bodies. Every soul thread represented a living being.
Among them, there was herself, Sheng Xiao, and naturally, Anna, whom she missed the most.
If Yu Huang wanted to see Anna’s past, present, and future through the Eye of All Things, she had to accurately find Anna’s soul thread among these dozens of grayish-brown soul threads.
This was even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
Yu Huang stared at the soul threads that looked exactly the same. She wasn’t anxious. On the contrary, she was very calm. She sat cross-legged in the void and closed her eyes while imagining Anna’s appearance in her mind.
Soon, the face of a cute girl in a Lolita dress and a pair of ponytails appeared in Yu Huang’s mind.
Anna stood quietly in Yu Huang’s mind. She looked at Yu Huang sadly and didn’t speak.
Yu Huang called Anna’s name repeatedly in her heart.
Anna.
Anna.
Anna!
She wanted to find Anna, so she didn’t notice that her body was shooting rays of light at the soul thread. Sensing the existence of the light, the soul thread suddenly slowed down.
At this moment, Yu Huang suddenly opened her eyes and flew towards the boundless soul thread in the blink of an eye.
She shuttled through the soul thread and searched.
This one wasn’t, this one wasn’t, and this one wasn’t!
Yu Huang chose hundreds of spiritual threads that were suspected to be Anna’s, but none of them were Anna’s.
At this moment, Yu Huang already felt that her soul power was insufficient. She gritted her teeth and refused to give up easily. Yu Huang continued to search. After she searched for a few more minutes, a grayish-black line was suddenly flicked out by the soul thread.
After the ball of thread was sent flying, it still refused to leave. It was still trying to squeeze into their midst.
However, the more it wanted to approach those soul threads, the further the soul threads pushed it.
When Yu Huang saw this scene, she suddenly thought of the scene of Anna being ostracized by the cultivation world.
How similar.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Huang’s eyes instantly lit up.
That was Anna!
