Mosang returned to my body, Swiftly fell into a deep sleep. I didn't know if it was because I wasn't used to my new body or what, but there was no further movement.
I had been here alone for a long time, truly unsure how to go back and face Ink Seal again, and also that vanished figure...
“Xi Meng, it's time to go.” From behind me, I heard Ink Seal speak, though I didn't notice when he had arrived.
I turned around to look at Ink Seal, who had a calm expression, managing his emotions well. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
“Where are we going?”
“Now, we can meet the Grim Reaper.”
Ink Seal didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
“Really, do you feel nothing at all?” I asked softly.
Ink Seal's body stiffened for a moment before quickly returning to normal as he continued walking.
I shook my head, left with a face full of confusion...
“Master, you're back?” Little Pink flew down from the top of the Sting Lion and quickly came in front of me.
“Yes, you've worked hard during this time.” I smiled.
Suddenly, I froze. How could this be possible?!
“Little Pink, what level are you now?”
"Ha ha, you just noticed? Seventh Level, just reached Seventh Level!"
"Oh my, that's really fast... Little One, still dare to say you just reached Seventh Level, showing off what?"
I raised my hand and gently stroked Little Pink's forehead. That dazzling red-gold Life Stone, shining like the sun, boldly proclaimed the power of this magical beast!
Sigh, time has really passed for a long while. That once weak little caterpillar has grown into such beauty; it no longer needs anyone's protection. Even returning to Beast Forest, it would be strong enough on its own.
From the stars, to the moon, and now to the sun, Little Pink has truly grown a lot.
Wait—stars, moon, sun?
Isn't that exactly the same symbol as mine?
Right, how did I not notice?! The symbol I came here to cultivate is exactly the same as the form of the Life Stone on Little Pink's head!
What does this mean?!
I looked down and found that the moon on my chest had also turned into a sun at some point! Indeed, it was completely identical to Little Pink's sun!
"Congratulations, Xi Meng," Afu said with a smile.
"Congratulations?"
"Your new body is very successful."
I looked at her in confusion. It is indeed very successful; these are what she helped me obtain. But why did Afu's tone still carry a hint of disbelief?
"This is the most perfect body I have ever seen. What do you think, Ink Seal?" Afu asked.
Ink Seal nodded, finally showing a hint of a smile.
"Xi Meng, you and your beast can now merge into one," Afu said with a grin.
"What do you mean?"
"It means your bodies can fuse together. All the skills of that beast can be completely absorbed by you, greatly increasing your explosive power. You will also become closer and more in sync."
"But isn't it only the demon race that can merge like this?"
"That's right, but strictly speaking, you are neither a demon nor part of the Demon Clan."
"Then—what am I?" I blurted out, realizing only afterward how amusing it was that I still didn't know what I truly was.
"I don't know. Perhaps you are a new and more perfect species," Afu joked.
"Afu, thank you." I finally said the words I should have spoken earlier.
"Hehe, what is this? Besides, none of this is because of me," Afu hinted.
I understood and nodded without saying more.
"Alright, I've helped you, and you've gotten what you wanted. It's time to leave," Afu said.
But I noticed that her gaze lingered on Ink Seal with reluctance.
"Well, take care," Ink Seal said.
"Wait, will we meet again?" Afu asked.
"Afu, you already know the outcome, so why cling to it?" Ink Seal replied calmly.
"Alright, I understand. You all can go..." Afu turned to leave with Sting Lion.
...
"Ink Seal."
On the road, I called out to break the silence.
Ink Seal stopped and looked at me.
"I'm sorry, and also—thank you." But that was all I could say.
"I—" Ink Seal began to speak.
"Wait, let me go first," I interrupted him and continued, "I... have never hated or feared you. On the contrary, what I worry about is that as we get closer, we might become entangled in each other's positions and end up hurting one another. Honestly, I've considered you all my friends for a long time; I just didn't want to admit it."
Ink Seal reached out and pulled me into his embrace, gently running his hand through my hair as he said, "Girl, I’ll say it again: I will never hurt you."
