The whole world was shrouded in darkness. The black dragon was hovering on the ground. Except for its pair of dark green vertical pupils, the rest of its body could not be seen at all.

Xiao Xu huddled up in a secluded place. The little paper man in his hand held her thumb and rubbed her fingerprint with his paper head, as if comforting her, but also as if expressing his heartache.

She was using talismans to set up the formation and had completed all the arrangements silently.

Just waiting for Fu Qiyin to set off.

This trick overturns everything you have learned before and does the opposite from beginning to end.

"Shh, find a place to hide for a while and don't follow me."

If she couldn't control herself and hurt Boss Shen's paper mannequin, she would never forgive herself.

"Now, give me all your spiritual power. Even though my body might not be able to handle it, what's coming next is a bit dangerous. I want to do it alone."

The grievances between her and Fu Qiyin were to be resolved by herself.

The little paper man held her thumb tightly and refused to let go. Its little paper head could only shake back and forth. It was clearly a gesture of rejection, but in Xiao Xu's eyes, it became an agreement.

"good."

Xiao touched the little paper figurine with his thumb and said weakly, "Come on, pass on as much as you have to me."

The little paper man didn't move at first, but then, for some reason, it crawled from Xiao Xu's hand up to her neck, and then hummed as it crawled to her chin.

The paper head pressed against Xiao Xu's lips without any explanation.

Then, Xiao Xu felt an electric current spreading from his lips to his whole body.

Her wounds, fatigue, and spirit were all healed to the best state, and the endless supply of spiritual power nourished her empty body.

This is a feeling I have never experienced before.

When everything was ready, Xiao took the little paper figurine off his mouth, placed it in his palm, and whispered, "Find a place to hide."

The little paper man refused to give in and held on to one of her fingers tightly.

Xiao Xu had no choice but to reach out and pry it away, but he found that every time he pried, the little paper man would hold him tighter.

As a result, Shen Yanjin looked ugly, and none of the four sacred beasts following him dared to speak, for fear of bringing disaster to themselves.

Xiao Xu, who couldn't drive the little paper man away, sighed, "You don't have to leave, just get behind my neck."

The little paper man hesitated for a while, but still obediently followed Xiao Xu's instructions and climbed from the palm of his hand to his neck.

Feeling a slight tingling sensation, Xiao Xu scratched the restlessly moving paper figurine in a somewhat uncomfortable manner.

At this moment, the dark sky was shrouded in a beam of white light.

The light was eerie and cold, as if summoning something that humans feared.

Fu Qiyin hadn't known when she had floated high above the black dragon's head.

Her white eyes stared at the direction of the white light, her face distorted horribly. "The ancient clan is about to return. It's been over ten thousand years. I've been waiting for over ten thousand years!"

Her crazy voice spread throughout the entire area, and Xiao Xu's eardrums were almost broken.

"Fu Qiyin, why are you so stubborn?"

Xiao Xu asked in a cold voice. At this moment, she was at the same height as Fu Qiyin. She did not use any talismans at this moment, but was floating in the air on her own.

"This isn't stubbornness, it's not your place to tell me what's wrong!"

She laughed wildly, but when she saw the light gradually getting brighter, the sadness in her eyes could not be stopped from overflowing.
