The moment the mask shattered.
Ian saw Chu Ling's true face and was lost in thought. He had wandered the mortal world for over a hundred years and had never seen a woman with such striking beauty.
He couldn't even imagine—
For such a breathtakingly beautiful girl, what must her soul taste like?
However!
The moment he bit down, something felt wrong!!
In the ritual of life sacrifice, biting the soul was merely an illusion; the real meaning was "life transfer." Since the Longevity Technique he mastered was incomplete, a significant amount of life force would be lost in the void during the ritual, and he would only receive one-twentieth of the victim's life.
But that was enough, as this girl looked just under twenty.
Even if he could only live for another sixty years.
His own life could be extended by three years...
But with the first bite, it felt as if he had "missed," and Ian felt he had gained nothing... Was it just an illusion?
He quickly bit down a second time!
