Chapter 467 - The Miracle Healing
Without wasting a moment, Marc extended both hands forward, hovering about a foot above Miralda’s chest. A faint green aura began to radiate from his palms, growing brighter and stronger with each passing second.At the same time, Miralda felt a refreshing, soothing energy seep into her body. The flow mended the internal injuries that had ravaged her organs, rapidly restoring them. Gradually, her physical strength returned as well.But that wasn’t what thrilled her most.She felt a powerful surge of energy stir once again in her dantian. As Marc continued channeling the green energy, Miralda’s heart swelled with gratitude. “Thank God… I haven’t lost my cultivation energy after all!”Marc’s healing zhenqi had already repaired her internal wounds completely. From there, the energy shifted outward, tending to the severe burns and damage on her skin.What happened next was nothing short of miraculous.The charred, blackened flesh that had nearly rendered her unrecognizable gradually gave
Chapter 466 - The Root of All Problems
A faint voice slipped into her ears.“Marc?”It was a voice she recognized—one she despised with every fiber of her being.“It’s over now,” the voice continued. “You should be able to open your eyes.”Miralda didn’t obey. Instead, she furrowed her brows, her tone sharp and laced with the last dregs of strength left in her body.“Open my eyes? For what? So you can mock me even more?”She thought Marc wouldn’t let her die so easily. No, he would drag out her suffering until her very last breath.“Duchess Vexley, please. Just do it.”Miralda still refused. But then, a flicker of unease crossed her mind—her shoulder no longer throbbed with pain. It was as if the jaguar’s fangs had vanished from her flesh.“What?” she thought. “Why can’t I feel the pain anymore?”Hesitantly, she opened her eyes. Her brows knitted as confusion set in. There was no jaguar. Only Marc standing beside her, his presence instantly souring her expression.“You’ll never get tired of tormenting me, will you?” she sp
Chapter 465 - Back to the Mental Realm
In the end, without her realizing it, more than a decade had passed. Instead of gaining control over the Phoenix within her body, Miralda found herself growing more and more dependent on it."You will never reach the peak of your cultivation without my help."That was the whisper the Phoenix repeated endlessly in her mind.And, as if those words held their own undeniable truth, Miralda did manage to reach the pinnacle of her cultivation—Level One Hundred. But she did so by constantly relying on the immense power of the Phoenix.Of course, that power came with a price.The more she leaned on the Phoenix’s strength, the more her mind was slowly being washed away. The patience and gentleness that once defined her gave way to coldness and cruelty.That transformation reached its peak a year ago, when she founded Dark Star. At the time, she had convinced herself that the kingdom of Lanshire deserved a more reliable ruler than a feeble king who couldn’t wield a shred of cultivation power.T
Chapter 464 - The Farewell
“Madam, is there anything I can help you with?”Tristan turned politely to Bersena, addressing her with respect despite the fact that she looked younger than him. He did so because he saw how much Miralda respected her.“Tell me—who are you? And why must Miralda leave with you?”Bersena’s eyes locked onto Tristan with a sharp, intimidating glare.When Miralda’s friend earlier suggested she might be leaving for a date, a wave of unease instantly surged in Bersena’s chest. More than that, she feared Miralda was heading somewhere she shouldn’t. Bersena refused to let Miralda gamble away her youth just to buy a decent life with money.“Bersena, it’s nothing. He’s just a friend,” Miralda said, not wanting to prolong the matter.“Let me go, okay? I’ll contact you once I arrive.”Miralda turned, steeling herself to leave. But her words only deepened Bersena’s suspicions.“Sir, I beg you, please say something. I can’t allow Miralda to go without knowing where she’s headed. I won’t be at peace
Chapter 463 - A Decision to Make
A week later.“Miralda, thank goodness you’re awake.”Bersena immediately embraced the girl lying on the bed as soon as she saw her eyes flutter open.“Bersena,” Miralda whispered, returning the hug. “I’m… I’m so sorry.”Her guilt weighed heavy—she knew her actions had hurt Bersena. But before she could say more, she froze. Something felt terribly wrong in that embrace.“Bersena, y-you…” Miralda’s voice trembled, her face paling with grief. “You’ve lost your power?”It wasn’t just damage to Bersena’s dantian. From what Miralda could sense, it was impossible for her to ever cultivate again.Tears streamed down Miralda’s cheeks.“This is my fault. I never thought… I never thought it would come to this because of me.”As a cultivator herself, she understood all too well the agony of losing one’s core—of having the very essence of cultivation stripped away.“If only I hadn’t used that technique…”“No, Miralda. This isn’t your fault.” Bersena pulled her closer, holding her tightly.“What h
Chapter 462 - The Aftermath
Miralda barely registered the faint voice calling her name.“Bersena…” she murmured. “Is that you?”Wrapped in the overwhelming power of the Phoenix, the sound reached her only as a distant whisper. It wasn’t until the fiery shadow of her Phoenix wings lashed out and struck Bersena’s body that her senses snapped back.“What—?!” she gasped, regaining fragments of her awareness. When she realized who she had harmed, her heart lurched violently.“Oh, God… what have I done?”Her mind began to clear, but her body raged out of control, as if she were caught in a stormy current threatening to drag her under.“Phoenix, stop! Stop this instant!”She screamed the words in her mind, but her body remained wild and unresponsive.“I swear I’ll destroy you if you don’t listen! Withdraw your power now! Do it—fast!”ROAR!Stubborn though it was, the Phoenix obeyed at last. The beast pulled back its strength, and slowly Miralda regained command over her own body as it sank weakly toward the ground.Tap
