"Recall all our scouts; there's no need to keep an eye on Tianyuan Town anymore."
"Understood."
Zhuo Xueer was about to leave but was stopped by Ling Huxiang.
"Zhuo Xueer, you've been acting differently lately. Is it because your Demonization has intensified?"
"Lord of Mansion needn't worry. I'm very cautious with my life and won't act unless necessary. As for the natural increase in Demonization... this kind of slow death is beyond my control. How long I live depends on destiny."
Zhuo Xueer knew her condition had worsened recently, feeling her temperament gradually affected by the Demon Power.
But there's nothing she can do; suppressing Demonization isn't easy. Even with sincere temple offerings and chanting Buddhist scriptures, she can only somewhat alleviate the deterioration.
She had no idea how much longer she could hold on; she just wanted to live longer.
Zhuo Xueer left, while Ling Huxiang remained deep in thought.
