In her previous life, Li Muguo was unwilling to merely be a Protector in the Demon Realm, constantly suppressed by her mortal enemy, Demon Lord Yun Qi. After years of meticulous planning, she final...
Mo Yan's expression changed: "Do you often kiss other men like this?"
"How could that be?" Li Muge rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm the kind of shallow person who only loves men?"
"No." Mo Yan's eyes were unnatural, and he even seemed afraid to look Li Muge in the eye.
In front of the towering valley, Li Muge and Mo Yan stood side by side.
"What?" Li Muge couldn't believe his ears. The so-called "spirit crossing" was not about converting ghosts at all, but about converting ferocious beasts that were several levels stronger than ghosts.
"The ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi has a fondness for eating people. Li Muge, your mission this time is to help Qiongqi give up its cannibalistic habit and help it return to the right path."
Mo Yan said calmly.
Li Muge moved her lips, speechless with emotion: "Mo Yan, you're still young, you probably don't know, Qiongqi!!!"
"That's an ancient ferocious beast. We should either go all the way and kill it, then it definitely won't eat people and we'll send it back to the right path."
"Forgive my bluntness, but your Immortal Alliance's path isn't exactly righteous either. It may look glamorous on the outside, but it's actually rotten to the core."
Mo Yan turned his head: "The righteous path is corrupt, but what does Li Muge have to do with you? You just need to understand that if you can't complete the Spirit Crossing and accumulate three thousand merits, then you and I will suffer divine punishment later."
Li Muge touched his nose, suddenly feeling a little guilty. Then he thought about it and realized that it made sense; doing good deeds was also for his own benefit. "Well, okay then."
"How about we, Mo Yan, devise a plan to pull out Qiongqi's teeth? That way, it won't eat people anymore, and we won't harm Qiongqi's life. What a great plan!"
Mo Yan thought for a moment: "What if Qiongqi becomes smart and stops eating people, and instead makes soup with humans?"
Li Muge: "..."
She squatted down in front of the valley and pursed her lips: "How about this, Mo Yan, don't you Buddhists always talk about cutting off your own flesh to feed the eagle, or offering your body to feed the tiger?"
"Why don't you use your self-sacrificing spirit to influence Qiongqi? With your talent, you can become a Buddha even after death."
Mo Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you go, Sect Master? You'll probably become a Buddha even if you die. Sacrifice the small self for the greater good."
"How could that be? I'm not that... clever." Li Muge looked at Mo Yan's sinister expression and immediately changed "idiot" to "clever."
"Li Muge, go for it! Show your sect leader aura! You've managed to calm a ferocious beast down and stop it from eating people, haven't you? You can do it! I'll support you from the bottom of my heart."
Mo Yan encouraged him with a smile.
Seeing his smile, Li Muge wanted to beat him to death, but then she realized that if she did, she would also feel pain, and she immediately wilted.
"Be brave, I believe in you." Mo Yan patted Li Muge on the shoulder.
"No, even I don't believe myself." Li Muge thought to himself that since he was a ghost, Qiongqi shouldn't eat him, but Qiongqi is poisonous.
If I give myself another injection later, I can die again.
Mo Yan confidently gave Li Muge a Buddhist scripture: "Go, Sect Master, use your great love to influence Qiongqi."
Li Muge: "..."
How did this grandson see that she had great love?
If she had it, she'd still be a female demon.
As soon as Li Muge entered the valley, he saw human bones everywhere on the road: skulls, skulls, hand bones.
The horrific scene made even this female demon want to say "Amitabha."
Ahead lay Qiongqi's cave. Li Muge glanced at his useless Buddhist scriptures and promptly tossed them aside.
Since knocking out the teeth was useless, she cut off the tongue. She refused to believe that Qiongqi could still eat people after breaking its limbs.
The root cause of not being able to break the addiction to cannibalism is that one is not ruthless enough to oneself.
Li Muge was prepared to fight. Although she was now a ghost spirit, she should be able to defeat Qiongqi. If she couldn't, she would first probe the situation and use a sneak attack.
Just as she was about to enter Qiongqi Cave, the ground began to shake violently, and she almost fell.
Li Muge's expression changed; she hadn't expected Qiongqi to be so powerful and to sense her arrival so quickly.
She was about to dodge when she was caught off guard.
With a few whooshing sounds, several huge black thorns pierced fiercely around Li Muge.
They completely surrounded Li Muge, who dared not move an inch, for if he did, he would be dead.
Qiongqi was tall and had a pair of huge black feathered wings on its back, a slit nose, and looked fierce and menacing.
The words "My life is over" immediately flashed through Li Muge's mind.
However, she forced herself to remain calm. When dealing with such a ferocious beast, even if she was panicking inside, she couldn't show it.
"Qiongqi, how did you know I was already near your cave?" Li Muge just didn't understand.
I was already being very careful, so Qiongqi shouldn't have noticed.
Okay, even if Qiongqi were to discover her whereabouts, it wouldn't be able to do so so quickly!
Could it be that she has become a ghost and her power has declined, which is why Qiongqi was able to spot her so quickly?
Qiongqi glared with thick eyebrows and said in a fierce voice, "Didn't your friends outside send a message to tell you that you came in?"
Li Muge: "…………"
Mo Yan!!!
That bastard betrayed her! No way, even if she dies, she'll take Mo Yan down with her.
"Brother Qiongqi, please don't eat me, I don't taste good. I'll introduce you to a delicious man."
Li Muge huddled inside the circle of poison needles: "Yes, it's the man who tipped you off. His meat is delicious, whether stewed, used in soup, or grilled."
"I can't handle it, and even ghosts would probably get an upset stomach if they ate it. For your health, go ahead and eat it."
Upon hearing Li Muge's description, Qiongqi drooled, then, his face filled with anger, he opened his mouth wide and roared at Li Muge.
In that instant, Li Muge felt as if death was beckoning to her.
Qiongqi raised his hand to wipe his drool: "What's wrong with you guys? Weren't you sent by the Ferry Spirit Division to help me kick my cannibalism addiction?"
"What's wrong with you? You're tempting me to eat people, little girl. Where's your professional ethics?" Qiongqi said with a look that said, "You're a real scoundrel."
Li Muge felt a little confused: "Let me sort this out. Brother Qiongqi, it was you... who sought out the Ferry Spirit Division."
Qiongqi nodded.
"It's all to kick your cannibalism addiction."
“That’s right.” Qiongqi raised his hand and tapped Li Muge’s head with his sharp nails.
Several strands of her hair were immediately shaved off.
"Why did the Spirit Ferryman's Office send such a stupid Spirit Ferryman to help me? Do you even know how you're going to help me?"
Qiongqi looked suspicious and even considered changing the spirit facilitator.
Just then, Mo Yan strolled in unhurriedly.
Li Muge huddled in the middle of the circle of poison needles, gritting her teeth. Damn it, she was in a real crisis. Couldn't she have run a few steps?
At a time like this, why pretend to be all virtuous and detached?
