Chapter 653: Black Witch Palace
"Brother Qin, may you ascend to immortality..."
Mute Girl closed her eyes, her breath fading rapidly.
"Get a good rest. Everything will be fine."
Qin Sang whispered beside her ear. Without any more hesitation, he imprinted the Heavenly Corpse Talisman into Mute Girl’s primordial spirit space and then cast layer after layer of sealing barriers.
Mute Girl fell into a deep sleep. Yet a trace of a smile still lingered on her face. Her features did not deliberately shape that smile, but it remained, quiet and gentle, like a night sky clear after the rain.
Qin Sang gazed at her for a long while. Suddenly, he felt a heavy responsibility settle on his shoulders.
He had cultivated for a hundred years and encountered all sorts of people, including many remarkable women. But never once had he allowed himself to become emotionally attached.
It was not that the opportunity never presented itself. In truth, he had always been the one to let go first.
Some promises were not given lightly. Some burdens were not easy to bear.
Now that Mute Girl’s primordial spirit had been sealed by the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, Qin Sang had no certainty about undoing it. He had once become a corpse puppet himself and understood how sinister the talisman was. Without a miraculous item like the Jade Buddha, he would never have been able to break free.
Yet Mute Girl’s plight was closely tied to him. He could not stand by and watch her die in front of him. Since she had agreed, then regardless of the odds, he would do everything he could.
He thought of Wu Shang, who had already been completely turned into a corpse puppet in Endless Valley. A strong sense of urgency rose within him. Mute Girl’s cultivation was too low. He did not know how long she could hold out.
