The starving ghost stood still, looked at Xuan Tian, ​​then at Kui Kui, and floated towards the two of them.

The red threads on his body were all lost during the fight between Kui Kui and Xuan Tian.

He could have escaped, but he didn't.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Kui Kui settling scores later; it was just that he had made his choice early on.

He made his choice the moment he met Xiaobai.

Kui Kui was prepared to use a forbidden technique, sacrificing his own soul to perish together with Xuan Tian.

If the starving ghost tries to interfere, she wouldn't mind sending him away with her.

However, Xuan Tian's scream made Kui Kui's hand, which was forming a hand seal, tremble.

In Kui Kui's memory, he had only heard such screams when he was a child.

That's how pigs squeal when they're slaughtered in the village.

She looked up and realized that, without her noticing, the slow-moving, starving ghost had climbed onto the web made of red silk.

To be precise, it was through the net that it sat on Xuan Tian's neck.

The limp tongue became incredibly hard, and with a "pop," it pierced the top of Xuan Tian's head.

Then came the slurping sound.

He saw Kui Kui looking at him with a puzzled expression, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and he sucked even more vigorously.

Xuan Tian is right about one thing: whether it's a living soul or a vengeful spirit, it's all just a mass of energy. Although it's not as delicious as human blood essence, it's easy to absorb!

This stuff is like a glucose solution; it may not taste particularly good, but once it enters the body, it immediately transforms into energy.

Xuan Tian was still wailing and howling, "Are you crazy! You've taken the wrong medicine! She's the one who has a grudge against you, not me!"

"Mo-chuo, mo-chuo!" the starving ghost mumbled, and even smiled at Kui Kui.

Kui Kui wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she actually saw a hint of flattery on the starving ghost's face.

Not only could Xuan Tian not understand the hungry ghost's thoughts, but she couldn't understand them either.

The hungry ghost's idea was actually very simple: he finally had a chance to latch onto Kui Kui's coattails!

As a steady stream of spiritual energy flowed into the hungry ghost's belly, the penetrating wounds on his forehead and cheeks began to heal at a visible speed, and even his severed arms grew back.

His skin changed from red to wheat color, and his limbs gradually became thicker, with well-proportioned and beautiful muscle lines.

At this moment, he seemed like a human being again.

The starving ghost was overjoyed to see his newly grown hands, but Xuan Tian was in a terrible predicament.

His malevolent aura was completely drained, and he transformed from a vengeful spirit back into a lonely soul.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't move an inch.

He never imagined that he would end up dying at the hands of a lowly monster.

Forget about the chance of turning things around, there's no possibility of even being reincarnated.

From this day forward, Xuan Tian will never exist again in this world.

The starving ghost let out a burp, looking completely satisfied.

At this moment, his appearance was no different from that of an ordinary person. Although he had not become particularly dashing or handsome, he was at least a normal person with regular features.

He curled his tongue and pulled it back into his mouth.

He stood up, draped the silk net over his body, and spun around several times until he was completely bound before stopping.

He smiled at Kui Kui and said, "We can go now."

Being too obedient can seem a bit strange.

Kui Kui nodded subconsciously, then came to her senses and said, "Thank you for earlier."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the red silk suddenly disappeared.

The starving ghost, now free, said gratefully, "I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, boss, I'd still be that same grotesque mess. I'm so much better now!"

"What...did you call me?"

"Boss! From now on, you're my boss! I don't even know your name yet."

"My name is Kui Kui. What's yours?"

The starving ghost touched his head. He had no memory of his name, only endless hunger.

He had a sudden inspiration and gave himself a name: "I'm called Brother Kui, the personal brother of Boss Kui Kui!"

Kui Kui: "..."

After a three-second silence, Kui Kui said, "Let's go."

Brother Kui was so happy!

Sometimes, choice is more important than ability.

He made the right choice!

As the man and the ghost entered the Maoshan territory, Kui Kui felt an immense suction force coming from not far away.

Her soul flew uncontrollably toward the Temple of Wish-Fulfilling.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Mo Ye, who was pale-faced.

She was stunned and asked, "You've taken care of things?"

"Hmm." His Achilles' heel is Kui Kui; he'll be the first to sense if Kui Kui is in danger.

So, before Mao Junjie could bring reinforcements, he arrived first.
