Inside the Ice Coffin was Kallen's body.
In the other Sleep Pod was a young woman with long brown hair tied into pigtails, dressed in Shenzhou attire.
She possessed a cute face, impressive 'rabbits,' and a petite figure.
"Li Sushang...?"
Kiana looked at the cute sleeping face, asking with some uncertainty.
Otto walked over at this moment, looking at Li Sushang's face, a hint of nostalgia appearing in her eyes.
"Yes, she is Li Sushang, an old friend of mine."
Saying this, Otto came to the side of the Sleep Pod and began operating it.
This old friend had originally made a pact with her for this era, and she had planned to heal and awaken the friend during the final phase.
But now, no plan was needed, nor did she need Li Sushang to take action for her.
So, she decided to wake this old friend up ahead of schedule.
As for whether she would seek revenge against Fu Hua after waking up, that would be up to her own decision~
While Otto was operating the controls, Kallen followed her senses and arrived before the Ice Coffin, looking at the face that was identical to her own.
"Is this my physical body...?"
Kallen moved the lid of the Ice Coffin aside, then reached out and gently stroked the cold cheek.
The moment Kallen touched the cheek, her entire being transformed into golden particles and entered the body inside the Ice Coffin.
Moments later, Kallen, lying in the Ice Coffin, felt her eyelashes tremble slightly, then slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
"Huh, did I possess this body as an Eidolon?"
Kallen stepped out of the Ice Coffin, moving her somewhat stiff body, and asked in confusion.
"Ah, you should now be the only Eidolon in the Valhalla to possess a physical body."
"Is there anything special about that?"
"Nothing particularly special. You just have an extra body compared to others. And it seems you can also pass down descendants?"
Kiana couldn't detect any changes in Kallen; she was still an Eidolon, and her stats hadn't changed.
Kallen nodded.
However, Kiana's latter comment about passing down descendants was something she hadn't considered yet.
Ever since Kallen returned to her physical body, Otto pricked up her ears and started eavesdropping.
Upon hearing the phrase "pass down descendants," her Soulium heart began to beat rapidly.
But seeing that Kallen didn't seem to have any thoughts in that direction, Otto calmed down.
Anyway, since that Stinky Fox who stole Kallen wasn't around, wasn't this all up to Otto to manipulate?
She just hadn't realized that the hateful Pink-Haired Fox was also one of the Eidolons.
Hiss—!
The Sleep Pod in front of Otto slowly opened, and the Li Sushang inside slowly opened her slightly bewildered eyes.
"Ra... Ra... Raksha..."
Li Sushang stammered, looking at Otto's face with uncertainty.
Because the face differed somewhat from her memory, yet the feeling didn't seem fake.
"Sushang, welcome to 500 years later."
"..."
Hearing her tone, she knew this was the Raksha, but she just didn't know why she had changed into this appearance.
Li Sushang propped herself up and slowly sat up, moving her stiff body that hadn't been active for centuries.
As her body gradually softened and her limbs regained strength, Li Sushang stepped out of the Sleep Pod.
After glancing at the two white-haired people she didn't recognize, she looked toward Otto.
"So, you woke me up now because one of your plans has reached its final stage and requires my assistance?"
"Not so. I didn't wake you up because I needed help. My Long-Cherished Wish has been fulfilled. You are free to do what you wish, Sushang."
Otto gently shook her head, looking tenderly at Kallen, who tilted her head slightly in confusion at Otto's gaze.
Why is she looking at me?
Li Sushang followed Otto's gaze, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in sudden understanding.
So, this must be the Kallen that the Raksha often spoke of.
Since the person was standing here, alive, it proved that the Raksha's plan was complete and she was no longer needed.
"In that case, the agreement is still valid. Just let me know when you need Sushang,"
Li Sushang smiled freely, then changed the subject.
"Raksha, do you know where Red Kite Ancestral Master is now?"
"..."
Otto fell silent for a moment, then shifted her gaze to Kiana.
She knew Li Sushang's objective, but given that Kiana had helped her bring Kallen back, should she tell her old friend the truth?
At this moment, Fu Hua's voice echoed in her mind.
'Kiana, she is the child of my Disciple, Qin Suyi...'
Fu Hua's body was gradually repairing, as was her brain damage, and as the damage was fixed, her memories were slowly returning.
Among these were memories concerning her Seven Disciples, and the matter of this person fighting her 500 years ago seeking revenge, resulting in both being severely injured.
She probably came seeking revenge for her parents.
In fact, Qin Suyi was not killed by Fu Hua back then.
When Fu Hua awoke back then, she found Qin Suyi and asked about the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan Sword, but the latter consistently refused to tell her.
Having no choice, Fu Hua had to leave.
But not long after Fu Hua left, a great fire broke out at Yijian Villa.
Fu Hua noticed and tried to rescue them, but by the time she arrived, it was too late.
Later, Ma Yanqing told Cheng Lingshuang that Qin Suyi had been killed by the resurrected Fu Hua.
This led Li Sushang to believe that Fu Hua was her Kin-Slaying Enemy.
500 years ago, the first time Li Sushang encountered Fu Hua, she attacked in anger, was knocked unconscious, and had her sword taken.
The second time, she was persuaded by Martial Aunt Su Mei to consume a large amount of Divine Pills to seek revenge against Fu Hua, and she attacked violently without listening to Fu Hua's explanation.
"I see. In that case, it was all Ma Yanqing and the others spreading rumors."
Kiana's eyes flashed slightly as she spoke to Fu Hua in her Consciousness Space with some displeasure.
It seems that when she has time, she really must take Fu Hua to Luofu.
Isn't it a coincidence? Although Ma Yanqing in this world is dead, there's still a Yanqing in Luofu, right?
She needs to find a reason for a spar and give him a good beating!
As for the other disciples, Kiana needed to check if any residual consciousness remained in the world.
If so, she would sign a contract, summon them, and arrange a Mixed Doubles beating from herself and Fu Hua.
Although the Taixu Seven Disciples acted to stop their master from becoming a demon and transforming into a Sky Sword, thus committing regicide.
Their actions of disrespecting their elder and betraying their master and ancestors could not be lightly punished.
Kiana made up her mind.
Meanwhile, Yanqing, who was practicing his sword routine in Luofu, felt a chill down his spine and subconsciously pointed behind him, yet found nothing.
"Was that just my imagination?"
Yanqing scratched his head, completely bewildered.
On the other side, after Kiana finished listening to Fu Hua's account, she walked toward Li Sushang.
"Li Sushang, I know about the matter between you and A Hua. There might have been a misunderstanding regarding your parents' deaths back then."
"Misunderstanding? My parents were both killed by Red Kite Ancestral Master. How can there be a misunderstanding?"
Li Sushang frowned, looking at Kiana with slightly hostile eyes.
The hatred for her parents' deaths was irreconcilable; not even an Ancestral Master could stop her determination for revenge.
"How about this: A Hua taught me Taixu Sword Qi, so she's Half a Master to me. Let's fight. If I win, you'll listen obediently while I tell you the exact details of what happened 500 years ago. What do you say?"
"..."
Li Sushang was silent for a long time at first, then finally nodded firmly.
"Alright, I promise you. But if I win, you must tell me the whereabouts of Red Kite Ancestral Master."
"Deal! It's settled!"
Kiana extended her right pinky finger.
Li Sushang was slightly startled, then glanced at Kiana's clear, bright eyes, smiled faintly, and hooked her pinky finger around Kiana's.
"A True Hero's Word is his Bond!"
