Chapter 312.1: Releasing the Devil in the Heart
 

You sure this is the place?

Deep into the dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, was just a blinding snowy white all around.
In the world outside, the season was just beginning to edge into summer but here in this place…..
Qing Yu stretched out a finger and poked it onto a tree trunk beside her. Under the thick layer of snow that had accumulated, she could not even see what it looked like, and the slight pressure from her finger easily plunged a good half of her finger into the snow.
She could see from there how thickly the snow had come to accumulate around the trunk of the tree.
Heavens know whether the climate in this godforsaken place had always been like this ever since it came to exist, an incessant blizzard that covered everything in snow.
But though she was dressed thinly, practising the Soul Burial Arts since young had changed her body constitution, hence the temperature on her body was always chilly. She was not feeling cold, as her resistance to low temperatures was a lot stronger than most people.
Moreover, she carried Phoenix Fire in her body, so even though she might look like she should be freezing on the surface, it was actually toasty warm and hot inside.

Mistress, you’ve got to believe me. The aura trail disappeared right at this spot, so your mother must have gone inside this place.

The scarlet red little toddler thumped his chest confidently as he exclaimed, his eyes taunting as he glanced triumphantly at the golden haired youth standing beside him.
The golden haired youth curled up a corner of his lips, looking like he could not be bothered with the little toddler.
He was not going to compete with that childish little runt, as it’s still not known who will be the one that would truly be able to help the Mistress!
He’ll just let that little runt be gleeful for now.
Silent with her eyes narrowed for a moment, Qing Yu then said softly:
In that case, then let’s go. Hope that we’ll be able to bring my mother out successfully.

A hand then suddenly came to rest lightly on her shoulder. Qing Yu turned her eyes around and saw the youth’s handsome face smiling at her, his attractive silver and gold eyes seemingly shining with tiny bits of sunshine.
Mistress, I will always be at your side to assist you.

Qing Yu was taken aback by surprise. It was not known when this youth was able to give her a sense of security like this!
Throughout her previous and present life, the best thing was that this fella had always remained there beside her, turning from a cold emotionless weapon spirit into one of flesh and blood. Was it because he had stayed by her side for so long that he slowly came to develop a sliver of humanity and warmth, becoming skilled at deciphering her thoughts and emotion?
In the past, he had just been so wilful and unruly!
Qing Yu curved up the corners of her lips and did not say anything but to merely raise a hand up to ruffle the youth’s head of beautiful golden hair.
Zang Mai’s eyes blinked in surprise, like he had not expected such a reaction from her, looking like he had so many countless times way back in the past, standing there adorably with a stunned expression on his face.
