Kartikeye breathed a long sigh of relief, bent down and picked up the hair ornament that had just fallen on the ground, and handed it to the girl in front of him. With her dazed expression, she stretched out her hand to condense the flame out of her clothes, replacing the hair ornament that had just fallen on the ground. Covering her body with the sacrificial gown burned by the flames, she smiled and stretched out her hand towards Shezhi.

"Shezhi, congratulations, from this moment on, you are the witch of our clan."

Shezhi raised her head in a daze, subconsciously held the hand in front of her, tears streaming down her face at some point, and knelt down in front of Kartikeye crying.

"His Highness Kartikeye..."

She couldn't understand what had just happened, but she knew one thing - her life at this moment was protected and gifted by this His Highness, who turned the flames of destruction into a gentle shelter, protecting her, who had a wicked heart. people.

Brilliant, brilliant.

This is the real Asura family.

Prince of the Asura tribe.

The god who once sheltered her father and saved her mother, now, this god gave her a new life.

Nirvana in the flames of destruction, rebirth in the scorching death.

What kind of miracle is this?

Shezhi's heart was too chaotic, so that she couldn't say the sweet lies and soft-spoken beggings she had already thought up. She held Kartikeye's hand in a daze, maintaining the same feeling as when she was burned by the flames. Kneeling on the ground, he forgot that he already had legs again.

"Stand up."

Kartikeye supported Shezhi to stand up with light effort.

"The witches of my clan don't need to kneel and speak."

Shezhi was still in a daze without being able to recover, she felt her hands were loosened, and she felt her loose long hair being gently held into a bundle.

"... Your Highness... Your Highness! Shezhi!"

Before Jia Luo had time to rejoice over the survival of his twin sister, he was trembling with fright at the sight in front of him.

That Prince of the Asura Tribe was actually helping her younger sister comb her hair—although she simply tied her long hair up and put on that exquisite ruby ​​hair ornament again, but that was from the Asura Tribe. Prince!

That was their father's best friend and benefactor, and also the god they worshiped since childhood, His Royal Highness Kartikeye, Prince of the Ashura clan!

The twin sister's call finally made Shezhi's mind return to her body, and she was shocked to find that she had unknowingly returned to the crowd who were also candidate witches in the past.

Shezhi raised her head, first saw the back of the prince in front of her, then saw the twin sister kneeling under the altar, and then she saw the two "predecessor" witches.

That's right, since she survived and became the new priestess of the Asura tribe, those two are just "former priestesses".

Shezhi's eyes were full of vitality again, and became brighter because of ambition. She looked at the girls who were still waiting for the judgment of fate, and suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, but before that, she quickly noticed The figure of the young man in front of her moved slightly, and she almost subconsciously softened her expression, imitating the appearance of her elder sister Jia Luo who was criticized by her, trying hard to show the most gentle smile.

"His Highness Kartikeye."

"Shezhi, do you want to wait here with me for the birth of the next witch?"

Kartikeye looked back at his friend's daughter.

"Yes, I am willing to accompany His Royal Highness."

Shezhi prostrated gracefully according to the etiquette taught by the former priestess, then took a step back, still standing within the range of the altar, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the golden flames flowing on the ground like flowing water on the altar.

How unbelievable this is...

She actually stood in the flames of the Asura clan.

Kartikeye looked at the two priestesses beside the altar, and saw that they hadn't expressed anything, so he didn't say anything to drive them away, and looked back at the overly silent crowd at the moment.

"Throughout the ages, there have been two priestesses of the Asura tribe. Now, Huoyan has chosen Shezhi, and there is one more. If you have the consciousness... then step on the altar. If you want to leave, there is still time."

Kartikeye thought that the tragic death of the girl before was enough to sound the alarm for these ignorant humans, so he made an exception and gave another chance to "leave", but, to his surprise, no one listened to his cryptic advice, After a brief silence, an unusually warm atmosphere flowed among the crowd, and the girls who had stayed away from the altar due to fear approached the altar again.

Jia Luo was still kneeling in front of the two witches, and inevitably blocked the way to the altar.

An impatient girl pushed Jia Luo away and rushed to the altar.

Kartikeye showed a look of astonishment. He watched the golden flame cover his vision again, and knew the result of the unknown girl in an instant.

In the flames, there are only two breaths of life, he and Shezhi.

The fire of the soul belonging to the unknown human girl was extinguished in an instant.

Those who are not favored by the flame cannot survive.

However, such a tragic death did not dissuade the will of the latecomers.

Kartikeye watched those human girls who gathered in Asura City from all over the place set foot on the altar one after another.

The flame ignited, extinguished, ignited, and extinguished again and again. Finally, because of the continuous addition of "fuel", it maintained such a hot fire until no one came in, and the golden sea of ​​flames slowly dwindled.

"Ugh……"

Kartikeye sighed softly.

He suddenly thought of a question.

"What if... the flame only chooses 'one' priestess?"

The two "former witches" looked at each other, and the younger sister was keenly aware of the reason why the prince asked this question, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, Kartikeye, that is absolutely impossible. Throughout the ages, only two priestesses survived each selection ceremony of the Asura clan... and there must be two priestesses. Not all of them are dead. Yes, there is another candidate for the priestess."

My sister motioned to the blond girl who was standing timidly at the side to come forward.

"Go, Jia Luo, go to accept the baptism of fire, and go to meet your king."

Jia Luo was still immersed in the grief of his "companions" who were buried in the sea of ​​fire so easily in the past few days, and he didn't react for a while.

Shezhi frowned fiercely, and almost wanted to go down and pull her sister up, but she stopped hesitantly after taking half a step, and could only stare at her twin sister, urging her with her eyes.

"Sister, come on! Didn't we already agree? We want to become the shrine maidens of the Asura tribe together and live together—!"

Shezhi stretched out his hand towards Jia Luo.

It was only then that Kartikeye noticed that there was still a human girl alive, and when he heard the "sister" Shezhi said, his heart couldn't help but move.

Shezhi called herself "the second daughter of the Luozuo patriarch" when they first met, and he also saw two fresh soul fires in the belly of Eagle's wife Mana, so he believed without doubt For Shezhi, he already knew that Mana was pregnant with twins.

original……

Eagle and Mana's twins are here.

Galo and Shezhi.

It was not "accidental" that Shezhi was able to last for such a period of time in the magic flame, nor was it because of the protection of the hair ornament he had given to the eagle and then transferred to Shezhi, but because earlier Shezhi once came into contact with the flames of the Asura tribe.

Long before the twin sisters Shezhi and Jia Luo were born, they were trapped in the ice city of the demons when they were still in the womb of the demons. At that time, in order to melt the icicles of the demons, he used Asura The power of the family ignited the flame of phantom power.

At that time, he didn't know that the "witches" of the Asura tribe would be replaced, and he didn't know that there would be such a selection ceremony. He just wanted to save his friends' wives and their children. He tried his best to restrain the destruction of the flames. At that time, there might have been a faint breath of flame remaining in Mana's womb, which was gradually absorbed and assimilated by the two fetuses over time, becoming a gentle protection.

That's just by chance.

However, Shezhi is now able to survive because of this.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shezhi had already been protected by the magic flame, even if he was willing to give "blood", those without qualifications would only be burned by the power of that drop of blood.

It was accidental, but it became a link of fate.

I see……

Xingjian Zun Xingwang's advice turned out to be like this.

——The ceremony of selecting a priestess...His Highness Kartikeye only needs to follow his own heart and do it without thinking too much.

There is no need to think too much - because "fate" has already made arrangements.

He unintentionally... chose the next Miko for the Asura Clan.

"elder sister!"

Shezhi urged again.

She was afraid that her sister would run away, and that the prince of the Asura clan would change her mind.

At this moment, she wasn't even worried that Jia Luo would die in the flames, as if she had survived herself. She took it for granted that her twin sister would also be able to pass this ceremony.

Jia Luo's body was still trembling, her face clearly showed fear and sadness, but she still gritted her teeth and walked forward slowly.

"Come on, sister."

Jia Luo saw his sister's outstretched hand.

"Don't be afraid, come here."

Jia Luo was shocked to see the prince of the Asura clan reaching out to her.

Jia Luo couldn't think anymore, because of inertia, she continued to walk forward, one step, two steps, and at the third step, she finally came within the range of the altar.

The flames that had been stable for a while rose again, engulfing the entire altar.

Shezhi wanted to help, but she didn't know what she could do. She could only keep calling her sister's name and watching Jia Luo repeat the pain she had just suffered.

In Jia Luo's eyes, there is only a piece of gold left in the world.

After a while, a bright blood red appeared.

It took a while before the flames were completely extinguished.

The two priestesses bowed deeply and congratulated Kartikeya.

"His Highness Kartikeye, congratulations on finding a new priestess for the Asura clan."

Jia Luo was supported by Shezhi in a daze, still unable to accept such a drastic identity change.

Kartikeye looked at the pair of sisters, and couldn't help thinking of Ying and Mana's appearance back then. He sighed and walked down from the altar first.

"They... please take care of them. The gates of the city will be opened to welcome guests tomorrow, so I will prepare."

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

The former priestesses sent Kartikeye off before explaining the meaning of the prince's words to the two newly elected priestesses.

When the Asura tribe elects a new maiden, a grand ceremony will be held, and envoys from all tribes are welcome to come and watch the ceremony.

As the protagonists of the ceremony, Jialuo and Shezhi cannot rest today, and must familiarize themselves with the process of the ceremony all night.

Shezhi was full of surprises, holding Jia Luo's hand and said excitedly: "Sister! We, we—"

She was incoherent from being too happy.

Jia Luo was also overwhelmed by huge surprises.

"Have we really...become priestesses of the Asura clan?"

"Of course. From the moment you are selected by the flames, you are the witches of the Asura tribe."

The former miko said meaningfully.

"However, after tomorrow's ceremony, the entire heaven will know that you are the new witches of the Asura clan."
