"Ah, that," Long Huo's eyes brightened subtly when he heard her question as he said with a chuckle, "Apparently, after the holder of the essence is killed, the essence returns to the original body."
The moment Feng Yu heard those words, her brows visibly knitted.
However, Long Huo, who was immersed in his recollection, didn't notice that and continued on with his explanation, with the edges of his lips tightening.
"It was quite an extensive plan from our side, as our original motive was to deal with her husband without the Vermilion Empress's notice.
We managed to drive him to a secluded place and later dealt with him…though there was a subtle miscalculation from our side.
We didn't think that the essence fragment, which would later return to the Vermilion Empress, would carry the memories of her husband's last moments as well."
As Long Huo reached this point, he sighed while feigning a melancholic expression on his face.
