The first time drinking this wine, it does feel very potent, but its effects quickly dissipate.
Qin Jiao said with a smile.
In Mo Ziyan's eyes, Qin Jiao, holding her wine glass and gently swirling it, began to blur.
She put down her glass and rubbed her forehead. "I, I'm truly sorry, I need to rest for a moment."
Mo Ziyan leaned on the table and sat down in a nearby chair.
At that moment, a young man with brown hair emerged from behind the wine cabinets.
Mo Ziyan shook her head, unable to see his features clearly.
A bad premonition arose in her heart.
At this instant, the residual Sakura God power within Mo Ziyan seemed to be drawn by some force, becoming extremely restless.
The man held a water-drop-shaped purple crystal, which suddenly lit up as he approached Mo Ziyan.
Joy flashed in the man's eyes. "It really is you!"
"You two may withdraw."
The man waved at Qin Jiao and Wu Jiajia.
A hint of fear appeared in Qin Jiao and Wu Jiajia's eyes. "M, Master, you won't do anything to her, will you?"
"When has my business become your concern?" the man said, casting a cold glance at the two. "Go upstairs and keep watch. Open the mechanisms, and no one is allowed to enter until I come out."
"Yes!"
Qin Jiao and Wu Jiajia replied in unison.
"What, what do you want?" Mo Ziyan tried to get up, but she was terribly dizzy, her strength seemingly drained.
Moreover, another burning power was churning in her dantian, making her cheeks flush.
"I never imagined that the great Sakura God's primal spirit would awaken within the bloodline of a Chinese person like you."
Chen Zai looked at Mo Ziyan excitedly. "Dongyang needs you. Please, my lord, return to Dongyang with me!"
"I, I don't know what you're talking about." Mo Ziyan tried her best to circulate her power, attempting to dispel the dizziness.
Chen Zai raised an eyebrow, a look of realization crossing his face. "Oh, I almost forgot. The High Priest said the Sakura God's primal spirit was damaged, so it seems the Sakura God's memories have not been restored."
Speaking of which, Chen Zai chuckled. "However, it doesn't matter. With 'Zi Ying' here, my lord will surely regain her memories."
As he spoke, Chen Zai hung the purple necklace in his hand around Mo Ziyan's neck.
The moment Zi Ying touched Mo Ziyan, it erupted in brilliant purple light, enveloping her.
---
Ye Kunlun looked at Qin Jiao and Wu Jiajia guarding the cellar entrance and revealed a murderous intent.
Qin Jiao and Wu Jiajia, seeing Ye Kunlun suddenly appear at the winery, were startled at first, then became vigilant.
"Who are you?" Wu Jiajia asked coyly.
"How dare you have designs on Yan'er? You're courting death!"
Ye Kunlun wasted no words, striking out with a palm towards Wu Jiajia and Qin Jiao.
The two attempted to resist, but before they could even make contact with Ye Kunlun, they were heavily injured by his palm wind and fell unconscious.
Boom—
Ye Kunlun punched the cellar entrance.
The entrance exploded, and Ye Kunlun and Xiao Yu flashed inside.
As the purple light enveloped Mo Ziyan, her consciousness fell into a coma, as if another consciousness was awakening.
"Great Sakura God, please awaken quickly."
Chen Zai knelt before Mo Ziyan, his hands and the tip of his nose touching the ground, as if performing a prayer ritual.
Mo Ziyan's delicate body trembled. Beneath the purple light, the residual Sakura God power in her dantian was completely ignited.
A terrifying force spread throughout the cellar, originating from Mo Ziyan.
The not-so-spacious cellar filled with the rich fragrance of cherry blossoms.
Chen Zai, who was prostrate on the ground, smelled the fragrance, suddenly lifted his head, gazing at Mo Ziyan.
At this moment, a faint pink cherry blossom imprint appeared on Mo Ziyan's brow.
Chen Zai's face lit up with joy.
Just then, Ye Kunlun and Xiao Yu entered the third level of the cellar.
Chen Zai stood up, blocking Mo Ziyan, his gaze fierce and his face contorted. "No one can stop the awakening of the great Sakura God."
Ye Kunlun frowned, observing the abnormal changes in Mo Ziyan.
He realized Mo Ziyan's consciousness had fallen into a deep coma, and a chaotic consciousness was awakening.
He had seen the Sakura God's consciousness before, and this chaotic consciousness did not belong to the Sakura God at all.
"Get lost!"
Ye Kunlun waved his hand, and immense power formed a massive vortex of wind that directly assailed Chen Zai.
"Ninja!"
Chen Zai shouted, and his body vanished into thin air.
Ye Kunlun scanned with his divine sense, but he had lost Chen Zai's trace.
However, finding Chen Zai would only take some effort.
Right now, Mo Ziyan was the most important.
Ye Kunlun flashed to Mo Ziyan's side and quickly called out, "Yan'er."
Mo Ziyan did not respond.
Just as Ye Kunlun reached out to embrace her, Mo Ziyan's eyes suddenly opened. Her once dark and pure eyes were now purple, exuding an overbearing aura.
Ye Kunlun was stunned!
Suddenly, Mo Ziyan raised her delicate hand and fiercely struck Ye Kunlun's chest.
Ye Kunlun stumbled back several steps.
"Yan'er, I'm your Kunlun brother!" Ye Kunlun was unharmed and tried to awaken Mo Ziyan.
The power of Mo Ziyan's palm strike was beyond his imagination.
Could this be the true power of the Sakura God?
Mo Ziyan stood up, looking around blankly, and then at Ye Kunlun, who was speaking to her.
The next second, Mo Ziyan flashed towards the cellar exit.
Ye Kunlun had no choice but to follow.
Bang bang—
Mo Ziyan unleashed two palm strikes consecutively, the terrifying power creating a series of sonic booms.
Ye Kunlun could only dodge, fearing that his own power would harm Mo Ziyan!
"Don't follow me!"
Mo Ziyan spoke, her voice clear and cold, entirely in another person's tone.
How could Ye Kunlun let her go? If Mo Ziyan's consciousness were to be swallowed by this awakened consciousness, then Mo Ziyan would be completely lost!
"Seal!"
As Ye Kunlun spoke, the wind began to rise.
A mysterious power converged towards Mo Ziyan.
In Xiao Yu's eyes, spiritual energy formed an intricate formation, with Mo Ziyan positioned at its very center.
Ye Kunlun intended to use the formation to seal the chaotic consciousness within Mo Ziyan and then awaken her!
Mo Ziyan's eyes held a hint of bewilderment, as if she couldn't understand why Ye Kunlun before her kept opposing her.
Sensing the power of the sealing formation, the cherry blossom imprint on Mo Ziyan's forehead flickered.
Terrifying power poured out from Mo Ziyan's body, resisting Ye Kunlun's formation!
Ye Kunlun frowned. The power emanating from Mo Ziyan was far stronger than he had anticipated.
He continued to reinforce the formation.
Mo Ziyan's face turned pale, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but her purple eyes showed no intention of stopping.
"Damn it!"
Ye Kunlun couldn't help but curse.
This body belonged to Mo Ziyan. If the formation continued, Mo Ziyan's body would be severely injured!
"Let her go!"
Xiao Yu suddenly spoke.
Ye Kunlun glanced at her with a frown, and Xiao Yu nodded.
Without further hesitation, Ye Kunlun waved his hand, retracting the formation.
Mo Ziyan felt the pressure around her greatly diminish and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the sky.
