"Humans." Hua Li uttered a single word, saying calmly, "In this world, nothing is more nourishing than humans."

"Great, no problem, haha." Liang Chenghu clapped his hands excitedly: "Any requirements for the people?"

"Young, female, preferably a virgin," Hua Li said softly. "Only with such people can I obtain Yin energy from them, thereby restoring and enhancing my strength."

“These are all fine, they’re nothing to me, but how long will it take you?” Liang Chenghu asked one more question.

He knew this guy wasn't human, but he also knew that these guys' cultivation was timeless.

What if he needs a hundred years or more? Wouldn't I have to wait forever?

"Don't worry, it won't be long, a month will be enough." Hua Li said softly, "As long as you can provide me with what I need to help me recover quickly, I will have the strength to deal with Ye Xingchen."

"Great, haha, there's always a way out!" Liang Chenghu laughed heartily. "Then... let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Ru Xin went out and saw Shui Xin waiting for her outside. Shui Xin looked at Ru Xin with an expectant expression.

"Don't worry, I've already explained things to Second Master and will take you away," Ruxin said. "From today onwards, you are free."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Shui Xin cried tears of joy. She felt that she could finally escape Liang Chenghu's clutches. She took a step forward and wanted to take Ru Xin's hand.

However, Ruxin took a step back, creating some distance between them, and bowed, saying, "Miss Shuixin, I have to return to Dawuxiang Temple to take care of some matters. We shall part ways here. I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future."

"You're leaving on your own?" Shui Xin was taken aback. Her smile froze on her face. She looked at Ru Xin in disbelief, somewhat at a loss.

“Miss is a Buddhist disciple, and I should not have any entanglement with you in the first place.” Ruxin said calmly, “My fate with you ends here. From now on, we will never meet again. I hope you take care.”

Ru Xin clasped her hands together, her eyes slightly lowered. He nodded gently to Ru Xin and their figures passed each other.

"Stop!" Shui Xin suddenly realized what was happening and ran to Ru Xin, opening her arms to block him.

"Is there anything else, Miss?" Ruxin raised her head, her face expressionless.

"You promised me... you would take me away from here." Shui Xin said through gritted teeth, "If you don't take me away, I have nowhere else to go. I've decided on you for the rest of my life."

“I am a nun and cannot give you the life you want.” Ru Shui sighed. “I hope you will not persist any longer, Miss. Even if you persist, it will most likely be fruitless.”

"Why?" Shui Xin's body trembled, her voice already tinged with tears: "I don't ask for anything else, I only ask to be able to follow you. If you go back to Wuxiang Temple, I will go back to Wuxiang Temple too."

“I will do your laundry and cook for you, accompany you in chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha, and be a servant by your side, but you cannot leave me here alone, you cannot.”

“Amitabha…” Ruxin slowly clasped his hands together and murmured, “Once you enter the Buddhist gate, everything is empty. My worldly ties have been severed. Miss Shuixin, please don’t linger. Besides, I have some important things to do when I return to Dawuxiang Temple.”

"I don't care, either you kill me or I'll go ahead." Shui Xin handed over a dagger, her face resolute.

Ru Xin stared at Shui Xin, who glared at him angrily, her face resolute.

"I have some things to take care of, and it's inconvenient to bring you along. Besides, these things are a bit dangerous." Seeing this, Ruxin said helplessly, "After I finish these things and get over that hurdle that's been buried deep in my heart, I'll come back to find you, okay?"

"I don't believe that once you leave, you won't come back." Shui Xin's tears welled up: "You're lying to me. I'll only feel at ease if you let me stay with you."

“You can’t come with me. If you go, I don’t even know if I will live or die.” Ruxin sighed.

“Then I will follow you, even if we die, we will die together,” Shui Xin said resolutely.

"Why are you doing this?" For the first time in his life, Ruxin felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Was this woman determined to cling to him for the rest of her life?

Shuixin hugged him tightly from behind, refusing to let go.

"Have you taken your revenge?" Ruxin suddenly asked.

"You're the one who told me to let go of my hatred, so why are you suddenly asking me if I've taken my revenge?" Shui Xin asked, puzzled.

“Liang Chenghu is not dead yet. He is the one who caused your family to be destroyed. Are you willing to leave like this?” Ruxin asked rhetorically.

“I… but I’ve already failed, he won’t trust me anymore.” Shui Xin was stunned.

“It’s true that he won’t trust you, but you can’t just walk away like this,” Ruxin said. “There is someone in this world who can avenge you.”

"Who?" Shui Xin raised her head and looked at Ru Xin with some confusion.

“Ye Xingchen,” Ruxin said seriously, “is bound to have a showdown with Liang Chenghu sooner or later, and he has to deal with Liang Chenghu first before he can do anything.”

“He won’t believe me either.” Shui Xin shook her head.

"Not necessarily. It might not have happened before, but it would be different if I recommended him." Ruxin shook her head. "You stay in Jinling and help him with some things. I'll come back to find you after I've taken care of my own personal matters, and then I'll return to secular life!"

"Are you telling the truth?" Shui Xin was shaken.

“It’s true.” Ru Jia put his hands together in prayer: “A monk does not lie.”

"This..." Shui Xin hesitated, because she didn't know whether she should trust the monk in front of her, but now she seemed to have no other choice but to trust Ru Xin.

"Let's go, to Ye Xingchen's place." Ruxin didn't give her a chance to think.

"You want to go back to Dawuxiang Temple?" Ye Xingchen was not surprised after learning Ruxin's purpose.

The reason this guy became possessed by a demon was because he saw in an illusion the person who killed his closest relatives and neighbors, who was none other than his senior brother whom he had respected all his life.

That is, the abbot of Dawuxiang Temple, Ruchen, the strongest among the Ruzi sect monks.

Now that he has emerged from the illusion, he will surely go back to investigate what happened back then.

“Yes, some things can’t be avoided forever. I want to find out what happened back then.” Ruxin nodded.

"Alright, let's take revenge." Ye Xingchen didn't hesitate to give those monks a strong dose of medicine.

If Ruxin goes back and causes chaos at Dawuxiang Temple, then his pressure will be greatly reduced after he goes there.

"Before I leave, I'd like to ask you to take care of someone." After much hesitation, Ruxin finally made up her mind.
