After a moment's thought, Wu Hua refused.

"They belong to the ghost realm and have no contact with the underworld. Asking them will only cause them unnecessary trouble."

"What can we do then? We can't just ask the heavens for answers!"

Wu Hua looked at the sleeping Qin Luo and took her hand in her small hand.

"Let's see what Luo Luo thinks when she wakes up. Anyway, no matter who she is or where she comes from, she's my sister, and I'll always be there for her."

Tengteng also quickly pointed to the vines.

"I will always be with you."

After finishing their conversation about the beast and the vine, they quietly waited for Qin Luo to wake up.

The Gu Diao swam to the bottom of the lake and saw the place that had previously seemed like a dream.

The place is now a mess, with many remains of the spirits' original bodies still scattered around.

The more it looked, the more horrified it became, frantically searching for Lorraine.

Perhaps because the barrier had been broken, its power at the bottom of the lake was much stronger than before.

They quickly searched every corner of the lakebed, finally finding it in front of the forbidden area stone tablet.

They found the unconscious Yue Dai and Jun Huai, along with a group of spirits.

Almost all of their wounds were healed by Qin Luo's supernatural abilities.

But his demonic power was completely drained, and he could no longer even maintain his human form.

They all transformed into their true forms, and the Gu Diao embraced Le Dai in its arms.

I stroked its fish head tenderly.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced you to leave. I should have stayed with you. It's all my fault..."

It chattered on and on, finally waking up Lorraine.

"Where did this lecher come from? Let me go!"

The Gu Diao was originally trapped in grief, unable to extricate itself.

Hearing this was like being struck by lightning.

"Le Dai, it's me, it's Gu Diao! Don't you remember me?"

Le Dai looked at it as if it were a strange beast.

"Who are you? You don't look like a good demon at all."

"I am not a demon, I am a beast, the beast you rescued."

Despite what it said, Lorraine still looked at it warily.

"Since I am your savior, why did you treat me so disrespectfully just now?"

The Gu Diao never expected it to suddenly lose its memory; it had heard of fish having good memories before.

It was supposed to update automatically after a while, but I didn't expect it to happen at this particular time.

"we are…"

Seeing that it was a little shy, Le Dai immediately asked...

"What is it? Explain yourself."

Gu Diao…

It suddenly got stuck; although they liked each other before...

But the relationship wasn't clarified, and this sudden question...

It really didn't know how to answer, but seeing Leda's wide eyes...

I'm waiting for my answer, yet I can't not answer.

I gritted my teeth, stomped my foot, and shouted it out.

"You are my partner in my heart..."

"In your heart? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are? You think you're in my heart? Just because you think I'm in your heart doesn't mean you're in my heart. Get lost."

Having said that, it didn't even glance at it again, and swam towards Junhuai and the other spirits.

The Gu Diao stood there dumbfounded, feeling as if all its love had turned into bubbles.

Junhuai and the spirits gradually regained consciousness, only to find their former home reduced to ruins.

Some of my former companions are already dead, and I've all reverted to my original form.

They all burst into tears. Junhuai walked to Yu Na's body.

Looking at its torn shell and severed limbs

Tears streamed down her face; the two of them were usually like mortal enemies.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, Yu Na did something to protect them.

It used its shell to resist the suction, which is why it was twisted into this shape by the vortex.

The demons that have survived to this day did so at the cost of their lives.

The spirits slowly gathered around and pieced together its corpse.

Silently we mourned for it; a sense of sorrow instantly swept across the entire lakebed.

The former lake owner, Ti Yuan, paid no attention; it was going mad in its grass ball cage.

"Let me out! Do you think this broken cage can hold me? Once I recover, I'll slaughter you all without leaving a trace..."

Wu Hua thought it was too noisy and was about to mute it.

Qin Luo woke up and saw familiar surroundings as soon as she opened her eyes.

Wu Hua's small figure burst into tears the next second.

"Waaaaah, my little one, I almost didn't get to see you again! That bastard Ti Yuan, I thought he was a good demon, but he turned out to be the worst one, waaaaah~"

Wu Hua hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I've caught that bastard. You can do whatever you want with him."

Qin Luo stopped crying upon hearing this.

"Really? Then I'll kill it with the poisonous thorns of the vine."

As soon as she finished speaking, the vine climbed onto her hand and extended its poisonous thorns.

"Let's brazen it together like a hornet's nest."

Qin Luo nodded and stood up, and Wu Hua immediately enlarged the cage.

Then, open the cage door.

"Go ahead, it can't hurt you."

"You dare! I'm your father..."

No matter what Ti Yuan said, Qin Luo ignored her.

He raised his hand to strike, but upon seeing this, Fen Teng immediately shouted...

"Careful when you draw, don't draw me."

Wu Hua then remembered that it was still wrapped around Ti Yuan.

After replacing it with energy, Teng Teng retrieved it.

After each person and each vine had vented their frustrations, Wu Hua told them about the unusual vine-splitting incident.

Qin Luo was somewhat surprised, but Tengteng didn't take it seriously at all.

“This is normal. We vines grow wildly. If I don’t retract the vines, they can take root and regenerate. They can’t devour me, but they can become another me.”

Wu Hua never expected it to be so open-minded.

Don't you care?

"I don't care. We're all from the same root, practically brothers and sisters. If everyone becomes stronger, isn't that a good thing?"

The two were surprised by its magnanimity and began to praise it.
