In the days leading up to the Winter Solstice, Shi Feiyang once again recited a spell, connecting with Esheng Fan through soul bond.
Esheng Fan, elated, continually transmitted his joy to Shi Feiyang. The connection between a divine demon and a cultivator required no words, for they could directly empathize with each other's emotions.
Shi Feiyang also shared his feelings, restrained yet joyful, "It's been a long time, I wanted to see how you are."
Esheng Fan expressed his intense emotions, "I have longed day and night for a Dao friend like you, with such a rare demon cultivating talent that appears once in a thousand years. It would truly be a pity if you do not practice my demon skills! Over these past thousand years, the Demon Path has declined, constantly criticized ignorantly; 'demon' has even become a derogatory term, how absurd!
