"Our clan, nine lives yet undying. Even the Netherworld Domain respects our clan deeply, hence the name Jiuyou Clan." Jiuyou suddenly recalled words from her ancestors. Perhaps it had been far too long, and her memories of the Jiuyou Clan were no longer clear, but these words remained etched deeply in her mind. It was because of these words that Jiuyou took the name of the clan as her name in this lifetime. In truth, her original name was not Jiuyou; the two characters were taken from the clan's name, a tribute to the Jiuyou Clan.
