After hearing what Mei Mingyou said, I shrank my neck. Damn it, I have personally experienced how dangerous Su Xiaoniu is when she gets angry. The words "I'll eat you in a minute" are enough to scare a group of people!

But thinking back, Zhang Haitao, the brothel owner, and Lao Sha weren't outsiders, were they? After all, Su Xiaoniu had seen them when she went to Loulan. Furthermore, they all knew the madman in black. The brothel owner had almost come to blows with him back then!

But since Su Xiaoniu said she only saw me, I couldn’t say anything. I just asked Zhang Haitao and the others to wait, or go back first.

Zhang Haitao nodded, told me to be careful, and then took the brothel owner and Lao Sha back to the tomb.

I breathed a sigh of relief and followed Mei Mingyou and the madman in black into this paradise-like forest. I don't know how long I walked before I suddenly came across a peach blossom forest. It grew on both sides of the stream, stretching for hundreds of steps. There were no other trees in between. The flowers and plants were fresh and beautiful, and the fallen petals were scattered on the ground.

And right in this peach blossom forest, a round stone table and two stone pillars were placed on the ground. On the stone table was a Go set, and two people sat in front and behind: a petite and adorable little girl, and a beautiful girl in silver clothes. They played Go, and from time to time bursts of laughter could be heard, accompanied by the peach blossoms around them, covering the ground with pink. This scene was truly stunning, and it amazed me.

The scene was so beautiful, I was stunned. I knew both of them. The little girl was Gui Sanniang, who had appeared in the ghost gate illusion before, and the beautiful girl in silver clothes was undoubtedly Su Xiaoniu. The sun couldn't directly reach here, or rather, there was no sun at all. It was a completely shady place, away from the sun, so Su Xiaoniu could move around here without restraint.

Knowing that Su Xiaoniang was fine, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, the little loli Gui Sanniang suddenly said in a delicate voice: "Ah~ I lost again! Senior Sister, can't you give Sanniang a break!"

Su Xiaoniu said unhappily, "I've given you so many steps!" She happened to look up and saw me standing not far away. I walked over to her. Su Xiaoniu stood up and was about to speak, but I hugged her in my arms.

Su Xiaoniu's body trembled slightly. Her body, as cold as ice, seemed to be a good medicine that could heal the soul and soothe my inner anxiety. She patted my shoulder gently and said, "Big fool, you are finally here."

"I know you are not really angry, so I went through so many twists and turns to find here... Now you can always tell me why you suddenly left me? Why did you do this?" I hugged her tightly like an ignorant little boy and asked the question that I had been unable to figure out for the past few days.

Seeing how excited I was, she was slightly startled. After a long moment, she angrily said, "Don't hold me so tight! You're hurting me!"

I was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly loosened my grip a little.

Su Xiaoniu took a breath, then glared at me and said, "Silly boy, have you forgotten that you still have to go to the underworld to save Ning Xue?"

I was stunned for a moment: "What does this have to do with saving Ning Xue?"

Su Xiaoniu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a big deal." As she spoke, she put her hand into my chest. I didn't know what she was going to do. When her cold little hand touched my chest muscle, I shuddered all over. My face suddenly turned red and I said, "Don't do that... so many people are watching..."

"What the hell are you thinking!" Su Xiaoniu rolled her eyes and stepped on me, making me scream in pain. Then I saw her clutching the Candle Dragon Jade Zhao Xi had given me. She said, "Look, there's no trace of the Candle Dragon Blood essence left in the Candle Dragon Jade. It's been completely absorbed into your body. Now you're on par with martial arts masters. You should have noticed that your abilities have undergone a dramatic change."

After Su Xiaoniu said this, I realized that, indeed, this piece of Zhulong Jade had turned into an ordinary piece of waste stone, as if the essence inside had really been sucked out by me. However, when I was passing through the Ghost Gate Bagua Escape and fighting with the Mechanical White Tiger and King Mingyou, I did feel a rapid improvement in strength. It was even more intense when fighting against King Mingyou. Some of my injuries even healed automatically. Could it be that it was because the essence of the Zhulong Jade had merged into my body?

"The Ghost Gate Bagua Escape, although only an incomplete Ghost Gate formation, holds countless mysteries. Take, for example, the Eight Gods guarding the Eight Gates. I anticipated you would choose to enter the Life Gate, so I placed one of the Eight Gods, the White Tiger, within the Life Gate. The White Tiger corresponds to the Azure Dragon. As long as you destroy the mechanical White Tiger, the White Tiger within the Life Gate will attack the Candle Dragon Jade on your body, forcing the essence within the Candle Dragon Jade to merge into your body." Su Xiaoniu tossed aside the now-wasted Candle Dragon Jade and continued, "This is why I asked Gui Sanniang to temporarily deploy the Ghost Gate Bagua Escape. Because it's a temporary arrangement, this is an incomplete Ghost Gate formation."

I was stunned. So the Ghost Gate Bagua Dun had such magical effects? It actually forced the essence of the Candle Dragon Jade out and merged into my body, making me instantly stronger, without me even realizing it! And as for that incomplete Ghost Gate Bagua Dun, it turned out that Su Xiaoniu had Gui Sanniang set it up impromptu, which was why it was incomplete. That made sense.

"As for the mausoleum tomb left over from the Ming Dynasty, it was primarily to satisfy Zhang Haitao and his gang's adventurous tomb-robbing spirit. As you know, the Ghost Gate Bagua Dun is incredibly mysterious and all-encompassing. It can hold many objects, from small stones to entire regional scenes. Even a mere tomb is easy for Ghost Sanniang to capture. With their help, you're also safe and won't rush forward blindly. Therefore, the treasures in the tomb are a gift of gratitude to them."
