Novel Full Chapter 730 - SCRAM!
Lao Min Na's hands were trembling, her body was covered in a cold sweat then she starting back at lory with eyes fill with utter fear, suddenly a cold hand pressed against Lao Min Na's head and suddenly her body froze, Lazarus make an eerie laugh as he stroked Lao Min Na's head dotingly then said: "Should we tell them, I think they are curious ... what, do you feel ashamed, ooh.. but you shouldn't, after all, we all have Demon within us who are struggling to be free" Lazarus coaxed him in a soft voice like a caring elder, it made everyone shiver to their core because it was clear that Lazarus was tormenting Lao Min Na mentally.
"Don't go overboard, Lazarus," Lory warned him sternly, seeing Lao Min Na remind her of the dark days when she was under Lazarus's influence but she was luckier because Girsha protects her sanity, or at least most of the time.
"Oh no, I wouldn't dare" he shrugged his neck pretending o be scared, the next second he grinned widely "There's no harmed, miss Lao Min Na only wishes for a new beginning, isn't that right dear?"
Everyone exchanged confused looks, they thought it would be something outrageous or terrible but hoping for a new beginning is not a weird thing, in fact, many people wished for it, why does it sound so bad? Among other people only Lory made a stiff expression, Zhao Li Xin, seeing her strange reaction he quickly pulled Lory in her arms with a protective manner "Lory, are you okay?"
In the book she read before, a man ask a demon for the amount of gold then Demon give him the power to change everything he touched into gold, sadly that's including his own family, in the end of the story the man lives a lonely surrounded with gold, in another story a woman wished for long life, she asked for an aged as much as grained of sands in a desert the demon fulfilled the woman wish but he didn't give the woman external youth, what happened later, well everyone could imagine it.
Overall, there would be nothing good happened when you wished to a Demon, no matter how harmless your wishes would be.
"How…how do you start a new beginning?" Lory squints her eyes dubiously.
Sanguan Wu Ci's eyes turned like crescent moons as he grinned evilly "Rewrite the history"
Nobody understands what Lazarus means unless Lory who has learned about curses and old myths all her life knows exactly what Lazarus means, she glances at Lao Min Na who has a numb expression, Lory closes her eyes as guilt and regret swept over her like a tide, it's all his fault if only he didn't come to this world, if only she destroys his soul like her previous plan, none of this would have happened.
Lazarus guffawed like a lunatic "Lorient, I should tell you that this little girl is far more creative than you, unlike you who only wished to be a boring martyr, the new beginning she wishes meant I must enhance her power, intelligence, skills, who could have thought, I don't! I should turn her from complete zero to a magnificent heroine, she really is smart…you could learn a thing or two from her, Lorient" it's hard to guess if Lazarus praised Lao Min Na or mocked her, perhaps both.
"No, thank you" Loey snort in disdain.
Lory's look of disgust exhilarated him, Lazarus's laughter grew louder and louder, however, when Lazarus was immersed in his own madness, he failed to notice that Lory's fingers had been swaying in a certain way behind her back for a long time.
[Lory, are you done yet?] Girsha hurried her.
[No, not yet, I need a little more time ...] Lory is also impatient but she has to be careful with this type of spell if she misses even a single line then everything will be useless.

"Lory, come on, you need to remember this spell," Lucas writes a strange diagram on the ground with a wooden stick on the ground.
Lory just finishes a bag of potato chips while watching her brother drawing weird things on the ground "Why is it look so complicated?" there are too many circles, and triangles surrounded with ethion letters all over it.
Lucas rolled his eyes "Duh... because this is not your innated Gift so you need a high-level spell to create this type of spell"
"But it looks tough, you know I'm not good with complicated things?" Lory whine as she burned the remaining bag of potato chips then wiped her mouth with her hand carelessly
"Please Lory, I've been wracking my brain for two days. I didn't even sleep for two days, TWO DAYS!" Lucas raised his voice while lifting both fingers to express his own surprise, everyone who knows Lucas should know how much he appreciates his sleeping time.
Lory was stunned then she looked at him confusedly, "Why did you do that?"
"When I go for the 'King's Trial' you will be alone, what will you do if something bad happens and no one can save you?" he showed his deep concern for his twin sister.
Lory gave him a 'Are you stupid' look before he raised his index finger "One, I will not be alone, there will be Father, uncle Zargan, uncle Stevie and the others, two, there are also thousands of King's men who swore to protect the Kingdom and royal family, a.k.a. Me, and three… have you forgotten about my giant bird, Girsha? "
"I know, Buuut…. what if the situation gets really - really bad and you just have to rely on yourself, No father, no Uncles, not even Girsha what would you do, remember what Dad use to said that... " Lucas raised an eyebrow.
"Better be safe than sorry" Lory cuts in "Now you used Father's words against me?" Lory scoffed
"Right, so…what do you think" Lucas persuade her again.
"This took almost eighty percent of my mana, you know" Lory pouted.
"Just for emergencies?" he remains her again.
"Tck…I don't know…" Lory kept her hands on her hips, she still looks reluctant.
"I treat you dessert for the whole month" Lucas turns to bribe.
"OKAY!" she replies without thinking.

"You tricked another human, it seems like bad habits are hard to die, isn't it snake ?!" Lory further provokes Lazarus to stall the time
"Tricked, I didn't trick her ... she was the one who found me, isn't that right, little Min Na?" he inclined his head towards Lao Min Na, he tugged Lao Min Na's chin then forced her to stand up, "She asked me a wish and fulfilled her wish of course it's not free, after all, there is a price for everything"
Lao Min Ma swallowed hard as Lazarus who was wearing Sanguan Wu Ci's face got closer to him, his yellow snake eyes stabbed into her soul like a dagger, her throat tightened with dread, that's when she knew what true terror felt like. If there was one thing that would bring joy to Lazarus more than anything else in the world that was witnessing the despair in the eyes of his victims.
"Your body seems unable to hold any longer Min Na, what are you going to do ... what can you do?" Lazarus' iris enlarged as he grinned mischievously.
"Lao Min Na don't!" Lory tries to stop her "Don't let him change you into something that you are not…."
Lao Min Na smiled helplessly "It's too late for me…"
Lao Min Na pulled Sanguan Wu Ci's face then she pressed her lips against Sanguan Wu Ci, at first it looked like a passionate kiss but the next second Sanguan Wu Ci's body suddenly jolted, he started to shake hands wildly as he desperately tried to push Lao Min Na away from him but alas, Lao Min Na body did not budge.
