Ru Hua smiled enigmatically: "No, no, no, the master got up. The master is a light sleeper, and that spirit kept chattering away, so the master simply crushed her soul. Tsk, her soul scattered to the winds!"

Bi Xie inexplicably had a picture in his mind: a man with noble and indifferent fingers, his transparent soul struggling in his palm, and with a pop, it was like a balloon being squeezed.

The man's crimson lips were pressed into a straight line, his handsome face showing displeasure. He meticulously cleaned his fingers, his expression cold and lifeless.

Bi Xie shuddered.

Ru Hua continued with a grin, "The second soul was a pampered little princess in her previous life. Not only was she favored by the current general and the prince from another country, but even her half-brother harbored some romantic feelings for her. So this soul is incredibly confident~"

"That day, the Ghost Cultivator was playing the zither in the ancient castle when the Little Princess of Souls suddenly began to hum along. Her voice was mournful, as if she were lost in some sad memory. After the Ghost Cultivator finished playing a piece, she suddenly burst into tears, saying that she missed her brother, father, and mother..."

"The Ghost Cultivator pressed the piano keys expressionlessly, his brows slightly furrowed. The little princess of the soul cried for a long time, and finally, pitifully, floated to the Ghost Cultivator's side, saying that she had no family left and had long regarded the Ghost Cultivator as family, hoping to become his younger sister..."

"Pah! This white lotus flower is just trying to seduce the Ghost Cultivator!" Ru Hua pouted, then asked Bi Xie in suspense, "Host, guess what the ending of this little princess of the soul will be?"

Bi Xie: "Another time, the soul has been scattered?"

"Wrong!" Ru Hua chuckled. "When the Ghost Cultivator is in a good mood, he's actually quite merciful. He just had the Black and White Impermanence steal this white lotus's soul, but he specifically instructed her to be reborn into a family with many brothers and sisters—"

"And guess what? Hahaha... this white lotus flower reincarnated as a little tadpole!"

Bi Xie's lips twitched: "Steal the bamboo shoots!"

A daily tip for dealing with ghosts.

Time passed quickly. Wu Zhan never came again, but Bi Xie's injuries gradually healed with the help of those pills, and his skin regained its radiant whiteness.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like something was drawing away her spiritual energy from the place where she was nailed into the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail. The thing was very cautious, taking only a small amount of spiritual energy each time.

Bi Xie wanted to find out more, but her spiritual power was locked, and the fire poison in the Fire Poison Cave had paralyzed her five senses, so many of her senses were not as sharp as before.

She asked Ru Hua, but Ru Hua couldn't find out if the ghostly thing existed.

On this day, while watching Ji Gui and Chi Feng fight, Bi Xie sensed something drawing away her spiritual power.

Her brow twitched, and she gritted her teeth.

"Ruhua, I think that old bastard Nianzhenjun is definitely hiding something from me. Removing this Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail will definitely not be as simple as just cutting out bones and flesh. That old cunning bastard!"

Ru Hua chimed in, "That's right, Lao Yin Bi!"

Suddenly, Ru Hua screamed, putting her newfound knowledge to use: "Ahhh! That old sly fox Chi Feng actually ambushed the big boss—"

"Oh no! That old cunning dog Chi Feng is desperate and he's going to detonate his demon core to take the big boss down with him!"

The battle between Ji Gui and Chi Feng has lasted for almost three months. Normally, it wouldn't take this long to deal with Chi Feng, who is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, the Wilderness is the territory of the Demon Emperor Chi Feng, and Ji Gui is not familiar with the terrain. In addition, he has to deal with an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts, so the battle has been delayed for a long time.

A giant Kunpeng spread its wings high in the sky, glaring fiercely at the blood-stained man in crimson robes.

"Ji Gui, this Wanmeng Fruit belongs to my demon race. It takes five hundred years for one to condense. You tried to steal my treasure without even knowing the facts, and you also killed so many of my compatriots. I, Chi Feng, will not let you leave this desolate land alive! Prepare to die!"

The grayish-brown fleshy feathers suddenly folded together, then burst open, countless feathers carrying spiritual light shooting towards the man playing the zither.

While the man in red was dealing with the arrows, the handsome demon emperor parted his thin lips and roared with a death-defying ferocity, "Explode!"

With a loud bang, the heavens and earth trembled.

The towering Kunpeng, which blotted out the sky, suddenly exploded into countless golden rays, instantly illuminating the dark world as if it were daytime.

Countless golden liquids, like a torrential rain, splattered onto the ground. The remaining monsters on the ground howled and wailed in pain, their faces contorted in agony, before scattering in panic and fleeing.

The spot where the golden liquid droplets splashed hissed and emitted a wisp of blue smoke.

Bi Xie looked at the man carrying the zither and retreating rapidly in the scene, and asked worriedly, "How is it? Is the big boss alright? That demon core exploded so violently? I thought the sun in the sky had exploded!"

"I hope... everything will be alright," Ru Hua muttered softly. "Who knows what's gotten into this Demon Emperor? He's willing to risk his life for Wanmeng Fruit..."

Bi Xie watched Ji Gui retreating rapidly in the scene with tension. His fingers moved quickly, and suddenly thousands of rays of light emanated from the simple strings of the zither. The rays of light converged in one place and collided directly with the string, making a "bang" sound.

Even through the screen, Bi Xie could still feel the immense spiritual power. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred and churned by the two currents of energy.

Bi Xie was worried that the golden liquid would get on Ji Gui, so he stared intently at the screen.

I was so nervous that I had trouble breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds in the sky gradually returned to normal, and the golden raindrops merged into the soil. The area within a hundred miles was scorched black by these golden droplets, and countless withered grasses lay scattered everywhere.

After Chi Feng self-destructed, Ji Gui's expression changed drastically, and he sped off in one direction like a meteor.

He couldn't see anything unusual, but Bi Xie knew he was definitely injured.

Even though he was already at the Integration Stage, a realm higher than the Demon Emperor Chi Feng, how could he not be injured when Chi Feng self-destructed in front of him!

Ru Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Host, you're actually angry? Are you feeling sorry for the big boss?"

Bi Xie was taken aback: "You can sense my emotions?"

Ru Hua chuckled and said, "Host, you wear your anger and heartache on your sleeve. Look at your brows, all furrowed like a pretzel. But it's truly remarkable that you've finally shown concern for the big boss!"

Bi Xie lowered his eyelids slightly, remained silent for a while, and then looked at the screen again. "Ru Hua, do you think the big boss can still get the Wanmeng Fruit if he rushes to the Demon Emperor's palace now?"

"Since the Demon Emperor Chifeng has prepared for self-destruction, he may have already eaten that fruit..."

Ru Hua: "...Ah, Pei Pei, ptooey, ptooey! Don't jinx it! If it weren't for the Wanmeng Fruit, you wouldn't be able to get rid of the demonic energy in your body..."

Half an hour later, Bi Xie and Ru Hua were both silent.
