Xiao Changhen pulled Yan Baibai closer to him, ignoring his heart that was beating violently with anxiety, and asked, "Is there no other way?"

This time, it was the Ghost Doctor's turn to remain silent. After a long moment, his gaze met Xiao Changhen's again. "If I had a way, I wouldn't be like this now."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dishes falling to the ground outside the house. The ghost doctor immediately stood up and ran out of the house quickly. After a while, he was holding the woman in his arms and skillfully placed her on the bed behind the screen.

"Brother Xiao, I think you shouldn't despair just yet. You should discuss any decision with your wife." The Ghost Doctor's voice, seemingly older, came from behind the screen: "Don't act rashly. You'll end up making things worse than you gain."

"Thank you very much."

"Take care."

Xiao Changhen came out of the ghost doctor, his heart was in turmoil. Even after he finally booked a room in the inn and put Yan Baibai on the soft bed, he still hadn't figured out what to do next.

It soon got dark, and the table in the room was filled with food that Xiao Changhen had ordered, but Xiao Changhen, who had not eaten for a day, had no appetite at all.

The steaming soup on the table slowly lost its temperature, but Xiao Changhen remained sitting straight. He sat at the table all night, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When Yan Baibai woke up, it was already the morning of the third day. If it weren't for Xiao Changhen's careful care with his spiritual power, her mortal body would have collapsed long ago.

Yan Baibai knew that she was not in good health. When she woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room, she felt very calm. After asking the system for some basic information, she accepted it well.

Yan Baibai had just finished washing up when the sound of the door opening came from the room, followed by Xiao Changhen's surprised voice: "Baibai, you are finally awake!"

Yan Baibai symbolically asked Xiao Changhen some questions. The food came up just in time and the two of them sat down at the table again. During the meal, Xiao Changhen ate all the dishes that Yan Baibai had given him. Then the two of them let Zi Er out and fed him together.

In the afternoon, Xiao Changhen took Yan Baibai out of the inn and brought her to a big house in the city.

"Baibai, we will live here from now on, okay?" Xiao Changhen held Yan Baibai's hand tightly and asked softly.

Yan Baibai nodded without saying anything more.

The house has been bought by Xiao Changhen. In the next month, several servants were bought one after another. As time went by, Xiao Changhen and Yan Baibai spent less and less time together.

This was an experiment conducted by Xiao Changhen. He wanted to verify whether what the ghost doctor said was true. The system had seen all of this before it began. For its own purposes, it used its own power to confirm what the ghost doctor said.

As Xiao Changhen reduced the time he spent with Yan Baibai, Yan Baibai's sudden sleep episodes became less and less frequent. This made Xiao Changhen believe the ghost doctor's words - it was because of him that Yan Baibai's health problems occurred.

What kind of choice should we make?

Should I tell Baibai about the matter and discuss the next steps with her?

Xiao Changhen had thought about these questions countless times. After a month of delay, he had actually made a decision in his heart a long time ago.

"Baibai, let's separate!"

One evening, after the two had dinner and watched the sunset, Xiao Changhen turned his back to Yan Baibai and said this.

"This house is yours. I bought you a restaurant and several shops. The deeds to the house, the land, and the servants' indentures are all on your dressing table. If you have anything else to add, please tell me."

After a long time without hearing Yan Baibai's answer, Xiao Changhen still did not turn around. He tried his best to steady his slightly trembling body.

"Xiao Changhen..." Yan Baibai spoke, but her voice was calm: "Let's get a divorce!"

The familiar taste of rust spread in his mouth. Xiao Changhen bit his tongue, and his clenched fists were bleeding. Before he fell to the ground, Xiao Changhen wiped away the blood with his spiritual power.

Xiao Changhen pursed his lips tightly and took a few deep breaths. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound.

"Go to the study and write the divorce papers, then you can leave. Don't worry, I will sign them."

After saying this, Yan Baibai turned and left.

There were no heart-wrenching questioning, no crying or making a fuss, no pestering, no heart-wrenching pain, and no lingering feelings.

Xiao Changhen felt as if a big hand was strangling his throat and he couldn't breathe. When Yan Baibai's footsteps completely disappeared, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee.

His mind quickly flashed back to their meeting and acquaintance, and recalled the promises he had made to her, and finally stopped at what Yan Baibai said - "If there is a second time, I will never forgive you again!"

He had abandoned her once again, and she would never forgive him.

It was not until the sun set that Xiao Changhen stood up and walked towards the study with firm steps.

A stick of incense later, the divorce papers were delivered from the study. Yan Baibai signed her name neatly, took one of the papers, and asked the servant to take the remaining one and send it to Xiao Changhen.

"Host, Xiao Changhen is about to leave. He has been standing at the door of the house." The system glanced at the emotional blocker on Yan Baibai's main page, which was turned to the maximum, and said with relief.

"What is he standing there for?"

"He probably wants to say his final goodbye to the host." Looking at Xiao Changhen's red eyes, to be honest, the system actually felt a little sorry for him: "Host, do you want to go?"

"If I don't go, what if he remembers Zi Er and leaves it to me?" Yan Baibai expressionlessly removed the hairpin from her head and continued, "System, you know I don't have much time left here."

The system nodded silently. Yes, it can only stay for more than two months at most...

Thinking of this, the system didn't have time to think too much. What it had to do now was to try its best to send the host to Wu Pin. It had to let the host discover Wu Pin's identity as soon as possible so that it could quickly complete the mission of the "sacrifice" and return to five hundred years later.

The system took the time to take a look at the world five hundred years later and sighed helplessly.

The storylines of Song Yu, Mo Li, and Lu Wuxiu have changed dramatically.

Song Yu left the sect and went to the demon world. As for Mo Li, he finally emerged from the Thousand Flowers and Ten Thousand Worlds, and for various reasons, he established a certain connection with Lu Wuxiu. However, the fact that Lu Wuxiu carried the blood of the demon clan was no longer concealed!
