al point.

In the end, she was disappointed to discover that all she could do for him was to wait helplessly by his side and not disturb him.

But his hand is surprisingly honest, not holding back in the slightest.

You have successfully trolled Yu Yanluo for +33 +33 +33…

…

Meanwhile, inside the illusion, Zu An’s hands and feet had been bound again.
He felt despair as the shining blade descended.

Suddenly, a string of Rage points entered his mind.

Huh?

Yu Yanluo, Rage points…

Who am I? Where am I?

At that instant, a large amount of information returned to his mind.
His eyes quickly cleared up again.

The one being tormented is Old Mi, not me!

The moment he realized that, it was as if all of his cultivation had returned.
He shook off the lesser eunuchs, then kicked the old eunuch with the blade, sending him flying.

Then, he became clear-headed again and the scene disappeared.
He had completely absorbed the soul fragment.

Zu An sighed in relief.
He hadn’t expected the process to be so dangerous! Even though the blade might not have dealt any true physiological damage to him, it might very well have left an indelible trauma.
He definitely didn’t want to personally go through what Old Mi had experienced.

Then, he began to absorb the second piece.
After his previous experience, the second went much more smoothly.

Huh? Wait, what was that soft sensation earlier?

A steamed bun?

Why would Old Mi remember something like that?

A veteran like him obviously knew what else it could be, but a eunuch like Old Mi definitely wouldn’t have such an experience.
As such, he abandoned the thought.

Old Mi had probably worked some odd jobs around the Imperial Palace at first.
He might have had to knead dough in the kitchen.
That was probably his happiest memory, or else Zu An wouldn’t have felt any happiness.

Sigh, this Old Mi really didn’t have any prospects.
The happiest thing he did in his entire life was just kneading some dough in the kitchen?

He collected his thoughts and continued to absorb the other soul fragments.
Subsequently, he saw all kinds of scenes.
The Imperial Palace was quite different from the one he was used to.
At first, he thought it was a different Imperial Palace.
But some parts of it were identical, so he realized it was the same palace.

Huh? Did the Imperial Palace really change that much over the years?

Then, various maids, concubines, and even the emperor appeared one after another.
The most shocking thing was that the emperor wasn’t the one he was used to.

Is this the former emperor?

No, that’s not it.

His expression changed, because he saw that the emperor’s robes were completely different from the current emperor’s.

During his time in the Imperial Palace, he had learned that there were strict regulations for each person’s uniform.
There was no way the difference would be so large.

Then, he heard some indistinct terms of address and finally realized what was happening.
This was before the Zhou Dynasty; he was seeing the Meng Dynasty’s emperor!

The current government had always kept all records of the Meng Dynasty confidential.
But Zu An had become part of the upper echelon, so he had gained much more authority than a regular person.
He knew that the emperor of his own dynasty had seized power from the Meng Dynasty, and the way he had done so wasn’t the most honorable.
But not even someone like him knew any more details than that.

“Huh? This Old Mi seems to have lived through several emperors,” Zu An remarked, feeling somewhat shocked as he watched the scenes go past.

However, he was confused as he watched the scene unfold.
Other than the first emperor, the others all seemed to be quite young.
It seemed all of the first emperor’s children had died prematurely.
Later on, he himself had been seriously injured and afflicted by an illness, so the threat of having no successors had become extremely real.
As such, the first emperor could only choose his successor from the royal family.

The empress wasn’t his first wife, but rather someone he had raised out of his concern for her.
She was quite young.
If they chose a fully grown member of the royal family, the young empress would be left in quite the awkward position.
As such, they had ended up choosing a young nephew as their adopted son.

Zu An was confused.
Shouldn’t these have been Old Mi’s most unforgettable memories? Only the most powerful lingering will could be left behind as fragments after the original owner passed on.
For example, the scene of being castrated was something completely understandable.
But why was Old Mi’s memory of this scene so clear?

Several more scenes surrounded him.
He saw a young emperor lead a group of eunuchs and maids, brandishing his weapon as he charged at an important minister.
The minister was cold and detached, and didn’t need to do anything as his subordinates killed all of the eunuchs and maids.
Even the young emperor died in the battle.

Zu An was alarmed, because he saw that the important minister’s appearance was somewhat familiar.
He had seen a picture of him before in the Imperial Palace.

The minister was the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!

No wonder Old Mi had recalled the scene of the Meng Dynasty so clearly.
So that was what had happened!

…

He absorbed the soul fragments piece by piece.
In the end, there was only one piece left.
Just as he started absorbing the last fragment, however, endless flames surged before him.
A terrifying pressure descended, and a massive phoenix surrounded in blazing flames appeared in the darkness.
