chapter 20

The most crucial step of the Blood Sacrifice.

The person to be sacrificed must sincerely recite the Dedication Contract and let three drops of blood fall beneath the candle.

Finally, they must willingly blow out the Blood Candle. When the Blood Candle is extinguished, the Blood Sacrifice is complete.

Once again, she woke up.

Lan Xinmei was lying on a sickbed.

She suddenly realized she couldn’t move.

The surroundings were very familiar-it was her own home.

Her throat was parched. She wanted to get up, wanted to call for help, but it was all in vain.

At this moment, she suddenly heard someone humming a song in the living room.

The sound drifted near and far, sometimes loud, sometimes soft.

But her ears could no longer make it out clearly.

She tried hard to open her mouth, tried to call for help, but after struggling for a long time, her body remained unresponsive, as if it was no longer under her control.

What on earth was going on? Wasn’t the Blood Sacrifice a success?

She had clearly followed what the Little Taoist Priest said, step by step luring her adopted daughter into the trap.

She had made her adopted daughter willingly recite the Dedication Contract and blow out the candle, but now, the one who couldn’t move was herself. What was happening?

After struggling for a long time to no avail, Lan Xinmei closed her eyes in despair.

She replayed in her mind over and over again, trying to figure out which step she had done wrong.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when it seemed the door to the room was pushed open.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

Then her body froze.

Walking toward her was her adopted daughter, Xu Shengsheng.
