Then, the jade pendant began to glow.
First, the crescent-shaped jade emitted a silvery-white light, ethereal and beautiful, like moonlight or scattered feathers. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this white light was composed of intricate, densely packed luminous symbols formed from strange incantations. Next, the circular jade pendant also started to glow—a dazzling, brilliant gold, likewise made of peculiar runes. Its radiance was blinding, like golden arrows gleaming with sharp light, tearing through the air with the force of thunder, causing instant blindness.
The intertwining silver and gold rays wove into a fine, vast net that filled the entire space. Qiqi immediately pulled out the sunglasses she had prepared in advance, put them on, and continued watching Rong Yi perform the spell with awe-filled reverence. Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was worse off. Without any preparation, he had to cover his eyes with his hands. At first, he stubbornly squinted through his fox-like eyes to peek, but soon the intense light made his eyes water. Forced to smile bitterly, he turned his back and closed his eyes, no longer watching Rong Yi’s spellcasting.
Gold and silver light danced wildly, turning the entire hospital room into a dazzling spectacle of those two colors. Amid the beautiful glow, Rong Yi’s expression was cold and stern, a flash of emerald light flickering in his eyes. His long hair billowed fiercely, and his hands trembled slightly.
*Moon Gem, guardian deity of the moon—your subject offers you the most sincere soul. Please grant my wish—*
Rong Yi silently recited in his heart, devoutly offering his own soul. Gradually, a cluster of emerald light emerged from his beautiful phoenix-like eyes—it was his soul. He activated the Moon’s Call once more.
The emerald cloud slowly rose, gradually merging with the silvery-white light emitted by the Moon’s Call. Slowly, the Moon’s Call began to change. Yet the gold of the Moon Gem remained a unique color, untainted and unchanged.
Rong Yi made several attempts, but to no avail. His expression shifted slightly—was it truly necessary to retrieve the soul of “that person” and merge it with his own to achieve the desired result?
This made him frown slightly.
Still, since the gem had appeared, “that person” must also be wandering in this world. With diligent searching, he would surely find him, wouldn’t he?
With that thought, he stopped dwelling on it, steadied his mind, and extended his left index and middle fingers flatly forward, uttering a low command: “Break—”
The emerald light instantly flashed into the crescent-shaped jade, once again radiating a magnificent glow.
Qiqi watched from the side with concern—Rong Yi had indeed offered his soul again. Would he end up so weak that he’d collapse later?
She cautiously moved closer, standing by his side, ready to help at any moment. At the same time, she looked at the Wolf King with worry and care in her eyes—*Rong Yi, are you alright?*
Rong Yi met the girl’s gaze, and his fingers trembled slightly at that moment, as if a violent turmoil stirred within him. However, the most critical thing during spellcasting was to maintain a steady mind. This wavering caused the spell to backfire instantly, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering drops of emerald blood onto the Moon’s Call.
“Rong Yi—”
Qiqi rushed forward, but Rong Yi roared, “Don’t come near—”
With the blood sacrifice and the exchange of souls, the Moon’s Call had emitted a blazing white light. Enduring the sharp pain in his chest, Rong Yi quickly used his finger as a blade, drawing out a silver thread, and fiercely stabbed the light into Lu Wei’s bare chest.
“Mmh…” Lu Wei let out a pained groan even in his unconscious state, clearly showing some signs of awareness.
