[Soul Reaping Array.]
The name alone carried weight.
Forbidden. Terrifying. Dangerous beyond comprehension.
It was said to summon an army from the darkest pits of the underworld, binding them to the user's will. But the cost? A fragment of the soul. Zhu Qing wasn't just pouring her blood into this spell—she was burning her very existence.
Su Xiaobai's voice cracked as he staggered to his feet. "Woman, are you crazy?! That thing's eating your soul!"
His heart sank.
If she didn't want to warm his bed, she could've just said so! Trading her soul to avoid him? That was overkill—even by her standards! He was joking!
Zhu Qing didn't answer.
Her hands moved on their own, forming seals faster than he could process. Her teeth clenched as she struggled against the array's demands. It wanted more—her blood, her soul—tearing her apart in its hunger. But she couldn't stop.
If I don't… we'll all die.
