Although Lily wasn’t punished, after Zack’s death, she would also lose her contracted
beast–man.

And no one proposed letting her find a new beast–man to contract with.
She panicked a bit and came to apologize to me.
“Cousin, I’m sorry, I apologize to you. Can you spare Zack and Ryan… I can’t live without
them.”
I looked at her coldly: “It’s not my decision to kill them. Go beg the elders yourself,
especially the Grand Elder.”
“They won’t see me…”
Lily actually grabbed my leg: “Cousin, help me, you must have a way, right? Aunt is the

family leader, her power is so great, she must be able to make them spare them, right?”

I kicked her away: “Now you think my mother’s power is great? When you were spreading rumors with outsiders that my mother’s position as family leader was just a figurehead, where were you then?”
“Or if my mother doesn’t satisfy your request this time, like before, will you again widely proclaim that she’s unworthy of her position?”
Lily lay on the ground, not moving for a long time.
“Aria Frost, seeing me in this state, you must be very happy, right? You’re still as high and mighty as ever!”
I knew she wouldn’t give up so easily.
Sure enough, that night Kieran came back: “Let me tell you a joke.”
“Not listening.” I was still a bit angry.
Kieran had been disappearing every night lately, not even telling me where he went.
This showed he didn’t trust me at all.
But Kieran’s bright, expressive eyes ignored my disdainful expression.
“Lily went to find your Grand Elder, and the Grand Elder agreed to her request.”
“Didn’t they say the elders wouldn’t see her?”
“I thought you weren’t listening?” Kieran smiled, having achieved his goal.
Then what he said made me feel sick.
The Grand Elder demanded that Lily exchange her body for the chance to spare the beast–men, and she could only save one beast–man.
In other words, Lily could only save either Zack or Ryan.

I guessed she would save Zack, but in the end she kept Ryan.
Ryan walked out of the Suppression Tower, still ad out of the Supp bit weak, but full of deep affection.
“Lily, I won’t let you down.”
Lily bit her lip: “Is what you said true, will you really take me back to the Xun Sea?”
“Of course.” Ryan could no longer hold back and hugged Lily, kissing her, “I’ll take you back to the Xun Sea. I’m the merman prince, you’ll be my princess. No one will ever frame you again.”
After they left, they went straight to the hot spring in the back mountain.
The place where Ryan was once whipped had now become a place for the two to make love.
Only then did I know that Ryan’s most powerful ability, which Kieran had kept from me earlier, was his ability to arouse passion.
In the Suppression Tower, Zack watched everything through Kieran’s illusion mirror.
“Do you see clearly now? She didn’t choose you.”
“Even though you’re her beast–man, your death won’t have any impact on her.”
Zack’s face was ashen, then he seemed to make some kind of decision:
“Fine, I agree to your terms. Don’t forget what you promised me. When the time comes, you have to give Lily to me, to me alone!*
Walking out of the Suppression Tower, I smiled: “Finally we can get rid of Lily and those
two annoying beast–men in one go.”
“Mother is the family leader and can’t act directly, so I’ll do it myself.
I said arrogantly: “Who told them to be so blind as to provoke me again and again?”

When the prying gaze around us finally left, I also shut up.
But Kieran’s eyes were full of smiles: “Keep talking, I quite like listening”
My face reddened, and I hurriedly walked away with big steps: “If you want to hear it, I say it. Who are you to me?”
“I’m your contracted beast–man.”
“Master.”
“Wh–what” I jumped.
Reciting it in such an erotic and ambiguous way, how could Kieran do such a thing!
He laughed softly behind me.
Mother also started to ask about Kieran and me.
“Aria, I think Kieran is an excellent man. There have been precedents in our family for
this. As long as you like him, mother supports you.”
I turned my head stiffly: “Mother, let’s focus on the important matters first.”
On the day of Zack’s execution, Lily didn’t show up.
On the execution platform, Zack’s eyes gradually darkened.
Finally, he ignited his soul fire.
The normal death of a beast–man wouldn’t affect their master, but soul fire burning was
different.
The soul fire of a contracted beast–man was already connected to the master’s spirit power. After the beast–man’s soul fire burned out, the master’s spirit sea would also be damaged.
Minor cases would result in dementia, severe cases in death.

Finally, Lily hurriedly appeared in the crowd, looking angry.
“Zack, stop it right now!”
Zack’s eyes were crazed: “Lily, you came. I knew you would come for me.”
But at this time he still didn’t stop burning his soul fire.
Lily panicked: “Zack, don’t you love me? Stop quickly, otherwise you’ll die with me!”
“Die?”
This word seemed to remind Zack of something.
“So you know I’ll die? You didn’t even want to see me one last time!”
“Lily, I did everything for you, I’ve always done everything for you! Yet you abandoned me
without hesitation and chose him!”
