"I'm fine now. The me right now is the real me."
"Lachlan..."
"I thought... I couldn't talk to you with my own consciousness anymore."
Miranda's eyes were filled with emotion and a hint of tears as she spoke.
"Honey! Everything's okay!"
"There's nothing that can harm you! Whether it's human, ghost, god or demon!"
Lachlan held Miranda tightly as his emotions surged within him. He was moved and heartbroken at the thought of Miranda allowing an evil spirit to possess her body just to save him. He wished he could absorb her into his own body and blood.
At this moment, Miranda was also moved and asked, "Lachlan, how did you know that I was being controlled by the Lord of Evil Spirits? How did you come up with a way to save me? I thought..."
As she spoke, a tear rolled down her cheek and fear flashed across her face. These past few days had been terrifying for her as she fought against the Lord of Evil Spirits in order to prevent it from consuming her soul.
This process was extremely helpless and terrifying!
Miranda thought that Lachlan hadn't noticed everything.
She believed that she had to face it all on her own.
She thought that this time, she was completely alone, with no one to help her.
But unexpectedly, in this state of isolation, confusion, and despair, she still waited for Lachlan.
He actually knew about the dire situation she was facing?
He had actually dealt with the Lord of Evil Spirits for her!
In that moment, Miranda looked at Lachlan, tears streaming down her face.
"... Lachlan, what just happened?"
"What was it that helped me eliminate the Lord of Evil Spirits?"
Miranda, still unable to fully comprehend what had just happened, trembled as she spoke to Lachlan.
Although her body had been controlled by the Lord of Evil Spirits, she was fully aware of what had transpired in the outside world, including the moments when she was semi-conscious.
Miranda knew that it seemed like Lachlan had "released" something that eliminated the Lord of Evil Spirits within her.
It seemed like... it was another powerful soul.
"It's the Dragon Ancestor's Soul, along with the inheritance from the jade pendant. I inherited it..."
Lachlan explained to Miranda the origin of the Dragon Ancestor's Soul, including his own actions in collecting souls to help the Dragon Ancestor's Soul deal with the evil spirits, and even the incident where he annihilated the Ghost Plaque Sect.
After listening, Miranda's eyes were filled with deep gratitude, and she leaned in to kiss Lachlan.
"Lachlan..."
After an affectionate call, Miranda said, "You went through so much trouble for me, I..."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan slapped Miranda's curvaceous behind playfully, pretending to be angry. "What are you saying? You were willing to let the Lord of Evil Spirits take advantage of you for my sake. What I did is nothing compared to that. So what if I did some evil deeds? As long as I can save you, I'm willing to become the devil in everyone's hearts. Besides, the people I killed deserved it!"
Hearing these words, Miranda's heart was moved, and tears of gratitude welled up in her beautiful eyes.
In that moment, the temperature between the two seemed to rise.
Lachlan felt the delicate and astonishing touch and couldn't help but let his mind wander, thoroughly enjoying the sensation.
Realizing the ambiguous nature of their relationship, Miranda quickly reacted and her pretty face turned red.
