"Thank you, Ghost Cultivator!"

So, does that mean she only needs to stay in one more mission world for another 25 years to repay the 50,000 points?

Bi Xie was in a great mood, and his courage grew a bit. He glanced at the tall and noble man in front of him, his gaze lingering for a moment, before he asked with a smile, "Lord Ghost Cultivator, you've dyed your hair? I remember you used to have long purple hair..."

Not only did she dye her hair, but she also changed her clothes, shedding her sharp black suit and putting on a black robe embroidered with gold patterns. A white jade belt encircled her slender waist, creating a look that was both restrained and stunning.

His long, dark hair was slightly gathered at the back of his head, with a few wisps of hair covering his cool and aloof eyebrows and eyes, making his slightly sickly and delicate face appear even whiter.

Goodness, she worked herself to the bone doing tasks for him, and he just went on a trip to ancient times?

"dislike?"

The man answered quickly, so quickly that Bi Xie was stunned and had no time to react. She had prepared herself for the man to be indifferent and avoid answering after she asked the question, but she did not expect him to answer. He stared at her intently, as if waiting for her reaction!

Bi Xie found it strange that Gui Xiu Zhan Bingjiu asked such a question. What did it matter to her whether he had purple or black hair?

Does that mean she can dye her hair back if she doesn't like him?

However, judging from her aesthetic sense, she still felt that black suited him better and matched his cold and gloomy temperament more!

At least for the first time she saw him, she couldn't help but swallow.

Quickly banishing this ridiculous, terrifying, and self-deluded thought from his mind, Bi Xiecan smiled and said, "I like it very much. Ghost Cultivator is incomparably handsome. Both purple and black hair suit you well. Purple looks noble and elegant, while black is ascetic and charming. Ghost Cultivator, your face is simply as if it were meticulously sculpted by the gods!"

The man gazed at her silently for a long time, his deep, crimson eyes falling on the girl's soft black hair, and he gave a soft "hmm".

Bi Xie chuckled dryly for a while, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the man's gaze.

But the ghost cultivator showed no intention of speaking further, and didn't even check the blood droplets in the rose necklace as usual.

This strange atmosphere made Bi Xie feel odd, but she was always bold and in a good mood, so good that she felt that the usually noble and aloof Ghost Cultivator was not so sacred and inviolable.

Her dark, round eyes darted around the man, and she suddenly remembered the first time she saw the ghost cultivator.

At that time, she had just become a ghost and hadn't found a place to stay before being brought to this ancient castle. First, she was frightened that the person who wanted to make a contract with her had crawled out of a coffin. Then, she was amazed by the person's stunningly beautiful face, which was so exquisite that it made the heavens jealous. And then... she just felt that this person was a bit of a punk.

With her purple hair and alluring black outfit, she would only have seen such a look at comic conventions in her time. However, this was the first time she had ever seen someone interpret the "Shamate" style so perfectly.

Most cosplayers at comic conventions are obviously imposters, but Gui Xiu looks like a real king who stepped out of a vampire comic.

Noble, aloof, handsome, and possessing unparalleled elegance, he does not belong to this small piece of earthly land.

While her words just now certainly had a hint of flattery, she wasn't exaggerating. Putting aside her ability to communicate with heaven and earth, just based on the Ghost Cultivator's face alone, which is rare in the world and absolutely stunning, he would definitely be the actor to play a demon lord, king, or emperor in a TV series.

Wherever he stands, his aura is overwhelming; he doesn't need to act at all.

"Bi Xie".

A clear, cold sound, like spring water striking stone, suddenly rang in Bi Xie's ears, interrupting his inner monologue.

Bi Xie blinked blankly, "Huh?" After a moment, he quickly asked, "What are your orders, Ghost Cultivator?"

The exceptionally handsome man pursed his lips, looked at her for a moment, and said, "No."

Bi Xie: "..."

Feeling that standing there awkwardly wasn't a solution, Bi Xie chuckled, "Master Ghost Cultivator, would you like to examine the blood droplets?"

The man responded calmly, raised his arm, and the rose necklace around Bi Xie's neck floated into the air and flew towards the man.

Soon, the rose necklace was returned by the man and placed around the girl's snow-white neck.

“…” Bi Xie felt that the ghost cultivator’s attitude was a bit perfunctory. “Is that all the inspection?”

He sent her on this mission just for these precious drops of blood, didn't he?

Why does she feel that the Ghost Cultivator doesn't seem to care about these blood drops anymore?

Lowering his gaze, Bi Xie stroked the rose necklace around his neck for a while before finally asking a potentially inappropriate question, "Lord Ghost Cultivator, this rose has 10 petals. Each time a task is completed, a drop of blood will merge into a petal. Does that mean I can be reborn after completing these 10 tasks?"

"Are you fed up?"

"No, no, I... I was just asking," Bi Xie quickly shook his head, noticing the man's slightly furrowed brow. "Serving the Ghost Cultivator is my greatest honor; how could I possibly find it tiresome?"

Fearing he wouldn't believe him, Bi Xie made up a story, "It was the Ghost Cultivator who gave me the opportunity to travel through three thousand worlds. In these worlds, I experienced many different things that I couldn't experience in the real world. To be honest, it was like watching a movie, very mysterious."

"Then...besides these, is there anyone in these worlds that you particularly care about or like?" The man's voice echoed in the empty castle, as if countless small voices were hitting Bi Xie's heart with this question.

The girl's clear, glass-like eyes widened slightly in surprise. After a long while, she managed a dry laugh. "Master Ghost Cultivator, please stop testing me. I will not be tempted by any world's big boss. Once the mission is completed, I will be reborn immediately and forget everything I experienced here."

Forgotten...

The man's hands, which were behind his back, suddenly clenched.

Finally, he glanced coldly at Bi Xie.

Bi Xie's back stiffened under his cold, indifferent gaze; he... seemed to be looking at her neck.

No way! Did she just say something wrong? Why does Ghost Cultivator have such a gloomy expression that looks like he wants to bite her neck off?

Bi Xie pondered over what he had just said.

No problem!

Bi Xie's lips twitched for a moment, just as he was about to volunteer to enter the mission and escape this eerie and cold atmosphere, but the man slightly parted his thin lips and said, "This is not a rose, it is a wild rose."

rose.

rose……

Inside the spacious and luxurious hall.

The man's deep silver eyes were like a deep pool. He looked intently at the necklace and said to the nervous girl, "Xiexie, I think I've seen this necklace before, but the flowers on it aren't roses, they're wild roses."

The burial also said that this was a rose, not a wild rose.

Bi Xie stared blankly at the stunningly handsome man with black hair opposite him, his mind suddenly going blank.

Is it a coincidence?

"Would you like to continue the mission or take a break?" The man's indifferent and aloof voice came again.
