章 335: Found The Shadow

Inside the Summer Cottage, Xiang Ling sat cross-legged with the forbidden scroll unrolled before her on a low table.

The soft glow of moonlight was filtering through the silken curtains, casting long shadows across the intricate script written in dark ink. The room was filled with the warm glow of the lanterns.

Her hands got covered in dust slightly as she ran her fingers over the aged parchment. The forbidden spells contained in the scroll were not meant for casual use. They were the kind of magic that could twist reality, corrupt the user, and leave irreversible scars on one's soul.

Xiang Ling had known the risks from the moment she decided to search for this collection, but the stakes were too high for her to back down.

Su LiangLin had already left her alone for the night, trusting her to handle the spell on her own. The playful atmosphere they had created earlier was long gone and now it was replaced by an intense, almost suffocating silence.
