Master Dugu then sent a streak of energy toward Ranmil.
Ranmil was already tired from controlling the crystal ball.
"What…"
Ranmil cried out in surprise.
With that, the crystal ball began to crack.
The cracks soon covered the entire ball.
There was a scream.
And Ranmil spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ranmil?" Emperor Wu nervously called her name.
But the others only cared about the crystal ball.
"Why is it broken?"
"I want to see more!"
"What should we do now?"
…
Lady Northern Feng was the most anxious of them all.
Because she genuinely cared about her goddaughter.
She stared at Ranmil and wanted Ranmil to repair the crystal ball.
But Master Dugu spoke first. "Is Lady Ranmil affected by the backlash?"
Ranmil put a hand on her chest and nodded. "Yes, I was injured when the ball shattered…"
She covered her mouth and coughed.
There was blood on her palm.
