Chapter 348: "The Gift of Immortality

The dark interior was streaked with fresh blood, as a severed head slowly rolled across the floor, dragging a long line of blood behind it.

The beheaded corpse lay at Su Ming'an's feet.

He confirmed the person's face again, it certainly was the princess he had just seen.

He wasn't flustered. Instead, he turned around and suddenly heard a knocking at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

He glanced at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The person outside knocked on the door steadily, not seeming to find this midnight knocking odd at all.

"Who is it?" Su Ming'an called out.

The only response was the continuous, steady knocking.

Su Ming'an stepped forward and suddenly felt something grab his leg.

He looked down and saw a face that had started to decay.

The head on the floor began to slowly rise, its bulging eyeballs silently staring at him.

The thick blood and stretching skin slowly slid off her cheeks, and the hand grasping Su Ming'an's calf belonged to the headless body.
