Chapter 1763
As Wynter pondered the memories that had surfaced, Kaspar stood quietly behind her. He was concerned about Wynter. Not only was she carrying resentful energy, but she was also too close to malevolent spirits.
Thankfully, Whitley had recognized her as his master. Otherwise, it would have been far too easy for her to stray down a dark path.
Still, Kaspar couldn’t help but offer a word of caution. “Wynter, the way you’ve been breaking formations and collecting spirits isn’t good for you. You should tread more carefully. Those three spirits at your side are already more than enough.”
Wynter dismissed his concern. “It’s fine. I can afford to take care of them.”
Kaspar sighed heavily. “It’s not about whether you can afford it or not. That resentful infant under your command is already a handful. You have to suppress his resentment constantly. If he successfully reincarnates, he’s destined to become a Spirit King.”
He lowered his voice as he continued, “Frankly, no one could have imagined he’d listen to anyone. According to the records, the only being he feared was the Mother of All Spirits. “Earlier, after Azrael left, he even asked me whether we should be wary of that infant. That alone speaks volumes about how dangerous he is.”
Indeed, no one would associate Leo with Wynter. Most cultivators would assume that her demonic manifestation was merely a summoning of local malevolent entities that already existed in the area.
They were all terrified when Leo appeared, especially after seeing how he dealt with Cornelius.
The records had made it clear. Resentful infants had a child’s temperament. If you didn’t provoke or get entangled with one karmically, they generally wouldn’t bother you. But if one decided to “play a game” with you, that game usually ended in death.
That was why no one dared to anger Leo. After all, aside from the grandmasters, few had the skills to handle him.
Logically, they couldn’t fathom the idea of Leo obeying a solo cultivator like Wynter. After all, they hadn’t seen her perform any genuine spells.
Even the simplest soul-summoning earlier was something she had asked Kaspar to perform. Plus, the manifestation of malevolent spirits was attributed to her unusual horoscope. That was how most cultivators rationalized the situation.
Azrael initially had his doubts. But after observing her closely, he concluded that she didn’t possess a true cultivator’s energy.
Only Kaspar had identified the anomaly, which was why he approached Wynter privately to discuss the matter. His greatest fear was the potential backlash from the spirits she had aligned herself with.
Wynter understood his concerns and chuckled lightly. “Let’s see how things go in the future. If I come across a good family, I’ll have them reincarnate.”
“I don’t want to reincarnate,” Leo muttered softly from the purple sugilite pendant. “I like things the way they are. I don’t come out often, so I don’t drain your energy.
