All these occurrences with the Princess were beyond the scope of modern medicine, according to the doctors present. They could not be explained by ordinary medical practices.
In Yuugami Yui's room, Ling Tian and A Li were both focused here.
"Yui, thank you so much today. Your treatment was outstanding, allowing the Princess to heal so quickly. Without you, it would have taken at least a week for the Princess to recover to her current state," Ling Tian praised from the side.
Hearing Ling Tian's commendation, Yuugami Yui was genuinely happy.
"It's all thanks to Hotarugusa..."
As Yuugami Yui spoke, she began summoning Shikigami with her bell. Hotarugusa, Yamawaro, Usagi... a string of Shikigami were summoned, all cute, adorable spirits.
Ling Tian watched from the side, marveling. He had dealt with many Onmyoji from Wa Guo, but those Onmyoji always summoned malevolent spirits. The spirits this young girl summoned were truly impressive.
"By the way, Yui, our treatment for the Princess will conclude in about a week. After that, it will be a long period of recuperation, and we won't need to stay here anymore.
We'll be returning to our country. So, where will you go? Will you return to Wa Guo?" Ling Tian asked curiously.
Hearing that Ling Tian was leaving, disappointment flashed in Yuugami Yui's eyes.
"I... I have nowhere to go. I can only wander. I can't go back to Wa Guo, at least not until I become stronger..."
As Yuugami Yui spoke, she began to sob, tears streaming down her face.
Ling Tian was a bit bewildered, not understanding what was happening. He tried his best to comfort the little girl and stop her crying.
"Yui, don't cry. Tell me slowly, what exactly happened!"
So, Yui recounted her tragic past to Ling Tian.
The two major powers, Byakko Palace and Ise Grand Shrine, coveted the magical inheritance left by the Yuugami family. They colluded to orchestrate a massacre, wiping out the Yuugami clan.
Yuugami Yui happened to be out traveling, searching for spirits, and thus escaped this calamity.
Later, those who orchestrated the massacre discovered that the Yuugami family had left their entire inheritance to Yuugami Yui. Consequently, the little girl Yui became the target of everyone's attention.
As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty when he possesses a treasure.
To evade their pursuit, the young girl left Wa Guo and traveled through various Southeast Asian countries, hoping to become stronger and find an opportunity for revenge.
"It's such a shame. I was too useless and lost the chance for revenge. All my enemies were killed by someone else..." Yuugami Yui said with some frustration.
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian sheepishly scratched his head.
"Yui, I'm truly sorry for taking away your chance for revenge..."
"Brother Ling Tian, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean, your family's enemies were likely killed by me..."
Then, Ling Tian recounted how he had nearly annihilated the elite forces of Byakko Palace on Hell Paradise Island, then returned to Hua Guo to avenge Wang Bingxia, personally going to Wa Guo to burn down Byakko Palace and strike down Ise Grand Shrine with lightning, almost eradicating the elite forces of the Onmyoji powers in Wa Guo.
After listening, Yuugami Yui's body trembled uncontrollably. It was evident that the young girl was trying hard to suppress her emotions, but in the end, she couldn't hold back. She rushed forward, hugged Ling Tian, and burst into tears.
A Li, watching Ling Tian's flustered expression, covered her mouth and giggled.
Yuugami Yui cried for a long time, her tears soaking Ling Tian's clothes. Helpless, Ling Tian secretly formed a hand seal on Yuugami Yui's back with his right hand, releasing a minor spell to soothe emotions. Only then did Yuugami Yui recover from her sorrow.
"Brother Ling Tian, thank you, thank you!
All this time, I've been trying to find out who killed my enemies so I could repay them handsomely!
I'm so happy..."
"Yui, you need to look forward. You can't live in the past, and you can't always dwell in sadness.
Although the Onmyoji powers in Wa Guo have suffered heavy blows, they will become even more desperate to regain their strength.
I suggest you don't go to Wa Guo, and wandering around like this isn't a good way to improve your strength either..."
"Then, Ling Tian, do you have any good suggestions?"
"If you don't mind, why don't you come back to Hua Guo with me? It's relatively safer in Hua Guo.
Moreover, my home is a great place for cultivation. I have many cultivation techniques there.
Also, uh... I have a few close female companions. We can all cultivate together there..."
Yui paused when Ling Tian mentioned his close female companions. She hadn't expected Ling Tian to be so candid.
But soon, Yui made up her mind.
"Brother Ling Tian, let's not talk about anything else. I've decided, I'll go back to Hua Guo with you!"
"That's great! Someone else to play with!" A Li clapped her hands happily from the side.
Yui looked at Ling Tian, then at A Li, feeling a sense of joy. Living with a great Yokai like A Miao would be very interesting!
...
At this time, in a manor dozens of kilometers away from the royal palace, in a secret chamber, several people were gathered. The entire chamber was shrouded in smoke, with several chain-smokers puffing away.
In this secret chamber, the leader was the Minister of Finance of Darusalan, the patriarch of the Capensa family, Old Capensa.
Beside him sat a young man whose face was swollen like a pig's head. This person was his eldest son, Haimir.
Although Haimir was lecherous and a dissolute playboy, Old Capensa greatly admired his son.
He believed that Haimir was meticulous in his dealings, ruthless in his actions, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. These qualities, he thought, were essential for an excellent politician!
"I never imagined, I never imagined that the Princess was carrying a ghost fetus! What I never imagined even more was that someone could keep that Arroyo girl alive. It's truly detestable!" Old Capensa roared.
"Father, it's all that fellow named Ling Tian. I'll arrange for someone to take him down immediately!" Haimir said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with malice.
"Slap!"
Old Capensa slapped Haimir across the face, causing him to yelp in pain.
"Father, what are you doing..."
"Are you crazy? If you try to assassinate Ling Tian now, he is the Princess's savior and a honored guest of the royal family. Are you trying to offend King Hajif!"
