"May I ask, young man, what is your relationship with Master Zhang?"

After hesitating for a moment, Master Xu couldn't help but ask about Ye Ming's identity, but Ye Ming did not answer him.

They completely ignored it.

Ye Ming turned to look at Xiao Yanbao and saw that Xiao Yanbao was staring at the trembling little fetus spirit with a furrowed brow and full of worry.

Ye Ming pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. Just as he was about to let Xiao Yanbao decide whether the little fetus should stay or leave, he saw Master Xu quietly raise the whisk in his hand. The soft silk threads were now like hard steel needles, pointing straight at the little fetus.

"Shoot!"

A silver streak shot out from the whisk toward the little fetus. Little Yanbao was too late to stop it and could only let out a cry of surprise. The unlucky ghost on Fourth Uncle's body dared not make a sound after feeling the power of the streak.

This was Master Xu's strongest attack, unleashed after a long period of concentration. He didn't care who Ye Ming was, but he had to eliminate this little spirit that had killed three lives last night!

This is both his path and his deepest conviction.

As the silver streak was about to strike the little fetus, Li Qichen also showed reluctance.

Master Xu, however, looked as if he had accomplished a great feat and put away his whisk...

However, no one expected that Master Xu's grand and imposing spell would sink without making a ripple when it came into contact with the fetal spirit.

The little spirit remained unharmed, even appearing somewhat bewildered, unaware of what had happened.

Master Xu looked on in disbelief, then fixed his gaze on Ye Ming's face.

Who exactly are you?

"I've already said it, you can't represent the will of Heaven."

Ye Ming tilted his chin slightly, glanced at Master Xu, and spoke with the maturity of a young man: "The will of Heaven is unpredictable. How can you be sure that the destruction of that family of three by this little fetal spirit was not the will of Heaven?"

Then Ye Ming came to Xiao Yanbao's side with a serious expression. In the past, Li Qichen would have thought that the boy in front of him was just pretending to be profound, but now he was sure that Ye Ming must be an extremely powerful figure.

Have human babies become this powerful these days?

"Hey, stay away from our little Yanbao!"

When Li Qichen saw that Ye Ming not only did not stop after getting close to Xiao Yanbao, but instead put his face close to Xiao Yanbao's ear, he immediately became anxious and even forgot the scene of Ye Ming blocking Master Xu just now.

The unlucky guy, who had been feeling anxious, immediately covered his eyes upon seeing this, but in his heart, he still gave his protective fourth uncle a thumbs up.

'You're really brave, brother!'

Li Qichen had already pushed Ye Ming very hard, but the other party did not budge. Just as Li Qichen was about to pull Xiao Yanbao, Ye Ming looked up at him, then took a step to the side, slightly increasing the distance between himself and Xiao Yanbao.

"Brother Ye Ming, is this really okay?"

A soft, sweet little voice entered her ears. Xiao Yanbao ignored her fourth uncle and looked at Ye Ming with some uncertainty.

However, Ye Ming simply stood there quietly, her small hands trembling slightly, as if she had exhausted her strength by blocking Master Xu's attack.

Xiao Yanbao cautiously glanced at Master Xu and his fellow Daoist beside him. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of continuing to attack, he carefully approached the little fetus spirit.

Do you miss your mom and dad?

Because of its bloodlust and murderous nature, the little spirit has lost its mind. If it didn't sense the powerful presence in the house, it would definitely bar its teeth at Xiao Yanbao and might even harm him.

Xiao Yanbao's biggest worry is that once the little fetal spirit takes revenge, it will become bloodthirsty, and the underworld will surely punish it. This is why Master Xu insisted on beating the little fetal spirit until its soul was scattered.

"Wake up! You will definitely have a loving mom and dad!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yanbao reached out her little hand, adorned with a bracelet, to touch the little spirit's head. Unexpectedly, the little spirit seemed to be provoked, raising its head and opening its large mouth full of sharp teeth to bite down hard on Xiao Yanbao's arm.

"careful!"

When Li Qichen saw that the little fetal spirit was attacking Xiao Yanbao, he took a big step to reach Xiao Yanbao's side, but was stopped by Master Xu with his whisk.

"Don't make things worse."

Li Qichen looked at Master Xu with a puzzled expression.

Just as the little spirit's mouth was about to close, a beam of eerie green light shot out from the ugly black bracelet on its wrist, striking the little spirit's head.

For a fleeting moment, the little spirit seemed to see its mother gently stroking its high, swollen belly with both hands, her face full of loving smiles; it also seemed to see its father gently placing his hand on its mother's belly, stroking it softly through the skin, and telling it stories in the most tender tone...

“Child, I know you mean well, but he has lost his mind. Bloodlust has become his obsession. If we don’t let him perish, there may be more people in this world who will suffer at his hands.”

Master Xu still wanted to scatter the child's soul, which was his usual approach to dealing with such bloodthirsty monsters.

After all, his path was to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. He thought that Xiao Yanbao wanted to use words to influence the little fetal spirit and let it enter the cycle of reincarnation, but he did not know that Xiao Yanbao's ugly bracelet had unimaginable power.

“I can see that he is still thinking about finding his mother; he must not have completely lost his mind.”

Xiao Yanbao continued to reach out and touch the fetal spirit. Just as Master Xu sighed, the black bracelet on Xiao Yanbao's wrist emitted an even more intense dark green light.

Master Xu thought the bracelet was protecting Xiao Yanbao, but he didn't notice that the dark green light was constantly entering the little fetus's body, and even the intense bloodshot color in the little fetus's eyes was rapidly fading.

"Mother……"

After a few breaths, the little fetal spirit opened its mouth and called out to the void in the air, as if it had seen its mother. Then, a faint golden light emanated from Xiao Yanbao's body.

The little spirit's body instantly became translucent, and the blood-red color in its eyes was completely replaced by a bluish-green hue mixed with golden starlight.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what is this?"

Master Xu and his fellow Daoists were all shocked to see what was happening before their eyes. Little Yanbao had actually awakened the little fetal spirit that had been sinking into revenge and bloodlust, and the little fetal spirit was even being exorcised and entering reincarnation.

This completely overturned Master Xu's understanding, but he did not attribute all of this to Xiao Yanbao. Instead, he looked at Ye Ming, who was standing in the distance, with great respect, and then pulled his fellow Daoist beside him to bow deeply to Ye Ming.

In their minds, perhaps only the purple-robed Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, who had lived for hundreds of years, could have done this.

"Little spirit, you will definitely be happy in the future."

The gradually disappearing fetal spirit turned back and smiled slightly at everyone, looking just like a happy child in its mother's arms.
