She accidentally discovered that implanting the white magic beans—the magic beans that turn from black to white after being digested by Little White and Little Red—into the magic vine could kill the magic vine.

That's what she did last time at the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

But that other vine sprouted normally, while this one didn't. I don't know if this method will work.

After she told Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan said, "You'll know once you try it."

He immediately sent someone with white magic beans to approach the magic vine.

But it failed.

After the white magic bean was implanted into the magic vine, the magic vine immediately broke off to survive, just like a gecko whose tail had been grabbed.

"That won't work."

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was probably because the white magic bean took root after being planted, and the root spread was not fast enough, which gave the magic vine an opportunity to take advantage.

It might be better to use a creature that has already been implanted with a white magic bean.

The roots of the white magic bean can sneak into the magic vine while it's sucking blood, and the magic vine, busy absorbing blood, might not notice.

Yi Shuihan agreed with her idea.

Soon, several animals were brought in. After Xiao Qingyin implanted white magic beans into these animals, Yi Shuihan had them sent to the hunting range of the magic vine.

Strangely, however, the magic vines did not attack these animals.

Xiao Qingyin stared in disbelief: "Does it only drink human blood?"

Even gold bugs aren't this picky about food.

How were the Yelü clan domesticated?

She had a headache.

Besides them, the only other people here are the Xilin residents who have fled far away.

It's inhumane to capture anyone to feed the demonic vines.

"Don't worry," Yi Shuihan comforted him, "we'll eventually find the most vicious person."

As soon as the words left his lips, Yi Wu's voice rang out: "Stop!"

The two looked over at the same time and saw Yi Wu blocking a handsome man in white, preventing him from getting closer.

It was Bai Musheng, whom Xiao Qingyin knew all too well.

It's true that good people don't live long, while evil people live for thousands of years.

The capital has become a living hell, yet Bai Musheng is still alive and well.

She frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Bai Musheng looked at the demonic vine and said with a smile, "Those of you who came to help, you probably need someone to get close to that demonic vine, right?"

Xiao Qingyin was not surprised that this person had guessed their plan. He had always been smart, but he never used his talents for good.

"You want to send people to us?"

"Yes."

"To have a master like you is the worst luck imaginable."

Bai Musheng shook his head: "What I want to give away is not my subordinates, but myself."

Xiao Qingyin was momentarily bewildered.

What is this person saying?

He wants to sacrifice himself?

She couldn't help but look eastward; the sun rises from this side.

"You heard me right, I said I'll go by myself."

Bai Musheng said seriously.

Xiao Qingyin reminded him, "This is a mission from which there is no return."

"I know," Bai Musheng chuckled. "Xiao Xiao, I do good deeds occasionally too."

Yeah?

Xiao Qingyin couldn't recall him ever doing anything good.

In her memory, Bai Musheng would never do anything that wouldn't benefit himself.

This person has changed his ways and is now willing to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the people. Could it be that... he has been possessed?

Bai Musheng met her scrutinizing gaze with composure.

Okay, it really is Bai Musheng.

"Actually, I'm not sure if this method will work."

Xiao Qingyin said to him.

"You might die in vain."

"It's alright," Bai Musheng said with a smile. "Anyway, I deserve to die."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

So this person does have some self-awareness after all.

"Since you want to atone for your sins, then I will grant your wish."

She implanted the white magic bean into Bai Musheng's body.

Before leaving, Bai Musheng handed her a sandalwood box the size of a palm.

"Xiao Xiao, weren't you curious about my purpose in coming to Xilin? This is what I'm after."

Xiao Qingyin did not answer.

She had no interest in what he was after.

Without saying a word, Bai Musheng grabbed her hand and forced it into hers.

You'll like it.

Having said that, he strode towards the demonic vine.

The morning sun shone on his white robes and the blood vines that swirled and rolled around him, making him look like a small boat floating on a raging sea, dazzling to the eye.

In that instant, Xiao Qingyin remembered why she had initially fallen for him.

It's that youthful charm in his flowing white robes.

My eyes suddenly felt a little stinging.

As the demonic vines attacked Bai Musheng, he suddenly turned around and smiled:

“Xiao Xiao, I have many regrets in my life, but the only thing I don’t regret is that in that rainy alley, when you asked me if I needed help, I answered ‘yes’.”

At that time, he hated everyone who saw him in this disheveled state.

But when she walked over and asked that question calmly and gently, his heart trembled inexplicably.

Then she made a choice that was completely different from her usual one.

That was the best choice he ever made in his life.

Although it was much later that he came to understand this.

Even as the demonic vine pierced his heart, he was still smiling.

He could feel the loss of vitality and the rapid spread of the bean roots.

He knew he was going to die soon.

But he did not feel fear or sadness.

I have loved the best girl in the world.

He thought.

I am a happy person.

...

Xiao Qingyin heard Bai Musheng's last words.

I watched him get hit by the demonic vine.

This time, the magic vine failed to break off immediately, and the white magic bean successfully took root in the main vine, then plundered the magic vine's nutrients.
