I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Having lost control over the Spiritual Artifact, Huaze Tuo felt a momentary panic, his heart empty and desolate.

Although he did not completely lose the "Eye of Mistakes," the control over this Spiritual Artifact had fallen into Yi Nanxi's hands.

That meant he could only use the Spiritual Artifact when Yi Nanxi was not using the "Eye of Mistakes," and even then, he needed her consent.

This was the terrifying aspect of Spirit Face Supreme, which allowed a member of the Evil Clan with less than four eyes to forcibly gain control over a Spirit Master's Spiritual Artifact. Of course, the price to pay was that their life would be bound to the Spirit Master's from then on, making that Spirit Master the Evil Clan member's greatest weakness.

For this reason, Huaze Tuo wasn't too downhearted.

After all, he knew that from now on, the Charming Spirit Clan would become his strongest support, making sure he would not suffer any mishap.

"Thump, thump—"

The bride in her wedding dress stood up and set her long legs down, her light veil spreading over the ground; the pure and elegant white crystal high heels made a crisp sound on the dark stone bricks.

She raised her swan neck, her beautiful phoenix eyes gazing into the endless distance outside, the black and white vertical eye between her brows flickering as if she were testing the new abilities of the Spiritual Artifact.

Standing below on the stairs, Huaze Tuo narrowed his peach blossom eyes as he watched the Charming Spirit Princess. Below the delicate and holy crystal stone sparkling crown, her high coiled black hair complimented the sacred wedding dress, her shoulders smooth and fair.

If it weren't for the pair of clear red horns on the princess's forehead, Huaze Tuo would have almost forgotten she was from the Evil Clan.

After testing the Spiritual Artifact's abilities, Yi Nanxi glanced at Huaze Tuo, who was already mesmerized, and sneered, "Waste of space, stop staring. This sealed land is about to shatter; back off."

As for the insult, Huaze Tuo automatically ignored it, his lips curling into a smile as he bowed in a gentlemanly gesture, "Yes, my esteemed princess."

The so-called sealed land was the place where members of the Evil Clan merged with Spiritual Artifacts. Although the authority of the Spirit Face Supreme could allow a member of the Evil Clan to meld with a Spiritual Artifact, the process took a very long time to complete—shortly being 30 years, and in some cases, over a hundred.

During the melding phase, should the barrier of the sealed land be broken, the melding would fail miserably, causing damage to both the Evil Clan member and the Spirit Master's souls.

This was also one of the reasons why Spirit Face Disaster Relief was harder to accomplish than the Bone-faced Curse.

Naturally, while difficult, the strength enhancement it brought was much more significant than that of the Bone-faced Curse, with risk and reward in proportion.

The Charming Spirit Princess, after spending a full 100 years, had finally succeeded in melding with the "Eye of Mistakes" on this day.

Yi Nanxi's white crystal heels tapped on the black jade Royal Stairs as she descended with her wedding dress trailing behind. With each step down the stairs, and after treading past the last one, she passed through a transparent barrier.

"Boom—" The three-dimensional elliptical barrier surrounding the shadowy throne shattered, transforming into countless streams of Spiritual Flow, pouring into Yi Nanxi's horns.

Layers of airwaves swept out, the wind blowing like a knife, with Huaze Tuo shielding his face and stepping back several paces.

"Tap—tap—" Yi Nanxi, in her high heels, walked out calmly, "Let's go, waste. It's time for the Evil Relief ceremony."

The Spiritual Artifact, when blessed by 'Spirit Face Supreme' and fused with a member of the Evil Clan, became an Evil Spirit Artifact, known as the First Stage of Evil Relief.

As for the Evil Relief ceremony, it was a method to strengthen the 'Evil Spirit Artifact,' which upon completion of the ritual, would enable the Spiritual Artifact to reach the Second Stage of Evil Relief, gaining new abilities.

This was similar to the Spiritual Artifacts' Holy Release, though the effects of Holy Release were stronger. Only those with S rank and some with A rank could achieve Holy Release.

The "Eye of Mistakes" was not capable of Holy Release, but it could undergo the Second Stage of Evil Relief after evilization. Despite the effects being much weaker than Holy Release, it was still a decent method to optimize the Spiritual Artifact.

Generally, the Evil Relief ceremony was related to the Evil Clan's innate abilities.

For him and the Charming Spirit Princess, the Evil Relief ceremony was to hold a grand wedding in front of at least 100,000 of their kind, followed by consummation.

His peach blossom eyes sparkled as Huaze Tuo followed the steps of the Charming Spirit Princess to the castle doorway.

Outside the castle, the wedding venue had already been completely arranged.

Under the attention of thousands, Yi Nanxi stepped onto the red carpet, her high heels moving slowly.

Huaze Tuo stood behind the door in the shadows without moving, a Charming Spirit wedding was quite different from those of the Human Race, and it was still far from his moment to make an entrance.

"This is the Charming Spirit Princess, huh."

The spider-man quietly appeared beside Huaze Tuo, his gaze unwaveringly following the retreating figure of the woman in the wedding dress, envy glittering in his eyes as he cursed without holding back, "Damn it, Huaze Tuo, you lucky son of a bitch!"

Hearing this, Huaze Tuo turned his head to glance with a smile, yet said nothing. His peach blossom eyes were seductive, looking at everyone as if they were his lovers.

"Why is it that while we're all traitors to the Empire, you get to be the Charming Spirit son-in-law, and I still have to bust my ass every day trying to feed this fucking spider Evil Beast!"

The jealousy twisted the spider-man's face out of shape, looking at Huaze Tuo's half-smiling handsome face, he really wanted to punch the guy.

Huaze Tuo still sported that silent smile, the corner of his lips curving with a sense of superiority and mockery.

In fact, he and the spider-man were once walkers for the second Gate Pillar of the Empire.

But ever since the internal war of the Empire, the second Pillar crumbled, and with the siege from the other three great Pillars, the Pillar Country's Xia Hounian went missing after sustaining severe injuries, and the soldiers under his command either died, got injured, or fled. He and the spider-man were lucky enough to escape into the Grey Realm together.

Now the Empire still nominally retained the four great Pillars, but the second Pillar was already a name without substance.

He and the spider-man survived in the Grey Realm for several years until 200 years ago, by lucky coincidence, they stumbled upon a treasure trove.

Inside lay two Divine Relics, the first being infected by the Bone-faced Curse and the second by the Spirit Face Disaster.

The spider-man chose the first.

Perhaps that was fate. The spider-man became a Believer of Bone-face, while he became a Believer of Spirit Face.

After being infected with the Spirit Face Disaster Poison, he had to find a member of the Evil Clan with less than four eyes to undergo a Melding with the Spiritual Artifact, or else he'd never stand a hope of Ascension to the Venerable Realm.

At first, he was unwilling to just hand his Spiritual Artifact over. After all, his was an A-rank! Even if he gave it away, he could still use it, but being constrained by an Evil Clan always pissed him off.

Also, for this reason, he spent nearly a hundred years trying all means to find a way to get rid of the Spirit Face Disaster Poison.

Unfortunately, he never succeeded.

Not until 100 years ago, when he accidentally arrived at the Charming Spirit Calamity Realm and met the proud Charming Spirit Princess... that his thoughts began to change...

He showed his worth to the Charming Spirit Queen, demonstrated the mighty power of his A-rank Spiritual Artifact, and expressed his affection for the Charming Spirit Princess.

The Charming Spirit Queen and the Charming Spirit Princess differed; the former had no prejudice against humans and the Evil at all and readily accepted his offer for a deal.

Yi Nanxi, of course, initially refused, but she was only a princess, not the queen, and didn't have the right to refuse.

Before Yi Nanxi's ascension to Holy King, Queen Irena's words were the law, were everything, allowing no question.

Thus, the Charming Spirit Princess was forcibly confined within the sealing grounds, beginning a hundred-year-long Melding Cultivation.

During these hundred years, Huaze Tuo visited the sealing grounds daily, chatting and flirting with this arrogant and disdainful Charming Spirit Princess.

Proven by facts, there wasn't a woman Huaze Tuo wanted that could escape the palm of his hand.

This incredibly proud little wildcat eventually fell for him and gave away her heart~

Next, he just needed to complete the Second Stage of Evil Relief and then, by the way, kill that little mouse in the shadows, seizing the Evil Heart Demon Blood in its possession.

Then this hundred-year wait would come to fruition!

Moreover, he was confident that the delusional little mouse definitely had plenty of Evil Heart Demon Blood!

Truly something to look forward to.
