Mr. Jun was buried with great ceremony, but the only remaining heir of the Jun family was still a minor.
The underworld did not send any representatives to attend, but Bai Ningning left a bouquet of daisies for the old man in front of the tombstone.
Bai Ningning retreated back to the villa, saying that she wanted to be alone.
Seeing her dejected look, Chu Ze said, "If you don't want him to die, why not just use the Four Seasons Score to take him down?"
Hearing this, Bai Ningning felt even more dejected. "It's useless. The Four Seasons Chronicle can only preserve a complete soul. His soul was already shattered. I only used the red velvet grass to forcibly preserve it."
The effect was just to delay death, to keep her for a while longer, and to say a few words to her.
Chu Ze was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he knew about such a thing.
He was worried that if he died one day, Bai Ningning would detain him as permanent free labor.
Now that I think about it, I was worrying too much.
He didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he went to get her some snacks and drinks, and gave both of them some buffer time so that he could think about why she was so depressed.
Three minutes later, Bai Ningning looked at the snacks piled up in front of her, hesitating whether to change seats and continue to be sad.
As soon as she changed her position, the mountain of snacks moved with her.
She couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Chu Ze: "Here you go. Don't you drag me to eat every day?"
Bai Ningning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
She pulled Chu Ze to eat because people cannot live without three meals a day.
But Chu Ze seemed to mistakenly think that she loved to eat very much, and when he didn't know how to pull her out of her mood, he kept stuffing food into her mouth.
Chu Ze asked, "Are you upset because Qing Huai did something wrong and you couldn't do anything about it?"
"This has nothing to do with Qinghuai." Bai Ningning picked at the chips and pulled out a bag of potato chips. "I used to think I was always a step late, so I wondered if I could have arrived just a little earlier, maybe it would have made a difference."
She even thought that if she could have arrived at the Jun family's house the night before, would she have been able to prevent the tragedy from happening? If she had gone even earlier, and simply detained Yun Xian by her side to prevent him from going to the Yun family, would the result be different?
But now, she sadly realized that even if time could go back to a year ago and she watched this tragedy again with her memory, she still could not change the ending.
No matter when she appears, Mr. Jun will definitely die in front of her, and Yun Xian will also be killed in another way.
Mr. Jun was using death to tell her the truth.
Yun Xian let her know that there was someone behind the scenes.
A cruel yet realistic truth that has been buried for thousands of years.
And a trapper who wants to take advantage of it.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Ze waved his hand in front of her, calling her back to her senses. "The potato chips have been open for a long time, and you haven't eaten a single piece yet. Are you in no mood?"
Bai Ningning handed him the potato chips and asked, "Can I trust you?"
"sure."
When she asked this, Chu Ze subconsciously took the potato chips.
"A few questions." Bai Ningning's expression was quite serious. "Red Velvet Grass has side effects, right? Especially for living souls."
"yes."
Chu Ze sighed lightly, knowing that he could no longer hide it.
She is so smart.
Bai Ningning guessed correctly, but she didn't feel relieved. Her heart sank as she asked, "If a living person takes an overdose of red velvet grass, it will lead to a situation like what happened to Mr. Jun, where his soul will be shattered and disappear from the world, right?"
"yes."
Chu Ze still had potato chips in his hand.
It should have been so light that he couldn't feel any weight, but at this moment he felt that the bag of potato chips weighed a thousand pounds.
Bai Ningning muttered softly, "Can't I just not die?"
Chu Ze smiled bitterly, feeling as if the corners of his mouth were covered with lead, extremely heavy. His expression must be very ugly now.
"I'm sorry, it's too hard to be alone. I want to go and keep her company."
The King of Hell has not been reincarnated, he is supposed to be immortal.
Chu Ze had reincarnated many times before, and fell in love with the same girl every time.
After losing her, reincarnation has no meaning anymore.
Eternal life without love and hope will only become painful torture and curse.
"I understand." Bai Ningning also forced an ugly smile, "I can understand, really."
Bai Ningning opened the door to the underworld: "You are right. It is too hard to be alone."
"You and second brother stay at home and don't move. Don't go to the underworld during this period. Wait for me to come back."
Bai Ningning left after saying that.
Chu Ze stood there, holding a bag of opened but uneaten potato chips in his hand.
The ghost officials in the King of Hell's Palace were no longer surprised by what Bai Ningning had borrowed from the underworld during the day.
Ma Juan, her mother, daughter and the other two just looked up and saluted, but found that Bai Ningning did not open the door and go out, but walked towards them.
Ma Juan and Cheng Xiu quickly stood up to greet him: "Is there something urgent?"
"Yes." Bai Ningning looked at Cheng Yun, "Please let me take a look at the distribution map of ghost energy in the world. I want to find the ghost with the strongest ghost energy."
Cheng Yun skillfully pulled up a map and showed it to her. He said, "Our monitoring system isn't very accurate yet, so we can't pinpoint your location."
Bai Ningning looked at the map and said, "He's in an area with less ghost energy, but his ghost energy is extremely strong and his characteristics are very obvious. Screen it out and tell me if you meet the requirements."
"OK."
Cheng Yun quickly followed her requirements and figured out that there were only six locations that roughly met the requirements.
Cheng Yun said, "It may not be accurate. You can try it first and I'll think of a solution."
Bai Ningning: "Okay, thank you."
It’s not a big deal, she can just go and find them one by one.
Usually Qinghuai came to see her, but this time it was her turn to see Qinghuai.
I don’t know if Qinghuai was waiting for her, or if she was lucky, because she made the right choice first.
It could also be a coincidence among coincidences that Qing Huai has been staying here temporarily - after all, he has also seen the list of houses provided to her by Chu Hanzhou.
The moment the door to the underworld opened, Bai Ningning sensed Qinghuai's ghostly aura.
After confirming that Qinghuai was here, she sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor waiting for him.
Qing Huai must have noticed her coming.
After a while, Qinghuai floated down from the ceiling upside down, with only his upper body exposed, and the other half was still hidden on the ceiling.
He gradually floated down and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The two looked at each other. Bai Ningning stared at him for a while, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to his hair - ghosts really don't have to obey the law of gravity, and their hair didn't fall down, but floated beautifully in the air.
Qinghuai turned over and sat on the sofa opposite her.
Bai Ningning finally came back to her senses and said, "I discovered the truth of the matter."
Qing Huai's eyes were indifferent: "I killed him, what's wrong?"
Bai Ningning shook her head: "Not only did you not kill him, but you also agreed to his request. Most likely, he took the initiative to let you extract his spiritual power, right?"
Qing Huai did not deny it, but simply said: "It is just returning to its original owner."
Bai Ningning became more and more determined: "If you really want to kill him, he won't live until I show up."
Qing Huai sneered, as if mocking her naiveté.
Bai Ningning had a good point: "Or, if this was a plot by the Ghost Alliance, there's no reason for you to deal with all those ghosts. Of course, I know that the Ghost Alliance has the practice of raising Gu as a sacrifice, but the ghosts they raise wouldn't wreak havoc in the house. Ghost handprints all over the house don't fit their style. Handling the scene like this is actually an attempt to frame someone."
Qing Huai leaned lazily on the sofa, his tone frivolous: "Then why should I do this? Kind Miss Yan Wang."
Bai Ningning: "Because you also discovered the truth."
Qing Huai didn't comment on this, but his expression grew slightly heavier.
Bai Ningning changed the subject and mentioned another matter: "There's an internal struggle within the Zhuo family. One side thinks the underworld shouldn't exist, while the other side thinks the metaphysical world shouldn't exist. I thought it was strange at the time. The underworld and the metaphysical world shouldn't be in opposition, but now I understand—"
Seeing Qing Huai's expression grow increasingly serious, she became more certain of her guess and spoke in a resounding voice, "It's not the metaphysical world and the underworld that are in opposition, but the seven major families of the metaphysical world and the underworld that are in opposition."
Qing Huai floated up, raised his chin, and looked down at her in a bad tone, even with some disdain: "What does your matter have to do with me?"
"Of course it's related." Bai Ningning looked into his eyes and smiled confidently, "Before this, the Ji family was the largest family in the metaphysical world, wasn't it?"
Mr. Jun sent people to keep an eye on Chu Ze, not because he wanted to harm him, but because he was afraid that he would die suddenly.
Once Chu Ze dies, Xuanmen will have to think of new ways, or introduce new unlucky people, to maintain the balance of ghosts between the human world and the underworld.
The Soul-Transforming Array is a customary sacrifice and "dedication" among the major families. Once a family produces a young person with good talent and sends him into the Soul-Transforming Array, it can stabilize the prosperity of the major Xuanmen families for hundreds of years.
No matter how long-lived a person is, he can only live to about a hundred years old.
But sacrificing him can benefit thousands of people, and his ability can produce an endless stream of talented young people for hundreds of years - these geniuses continue to eliminate the evil spirits that harm the world. How can it not be said that sacrificing one person saves the whole world?
In recent years, Qinghuai's contribution has been limited, so they began to catch ghosts to fill the formation. Some families even initiated transactions and connections with the Ghost Alliance in order to prevent their children from being killed.
If Qing Huai really went to the Ghost Alliance to become the Ghost King, no matter how long he served, he must know the truth of the matter.
The Ji family no longer exists, but before that, the Ji family personally pushed Ji Qinghuai into the fire pit cage.
"It's been hard for you to bear with me for so long."
Bai Ningning opened her arms and gave Qinghuai a warm hug.
Qing Huai didn't say anything and didn't make any movements. He just lowered his head slightly and looked at her.
She is really good at bewitching people.
Also good at deceiving ghosts.
Bai Ningning tilted her head slightly, looked into his eyes, and asked solemnly, "I want to put an end to all this. Are you willing to join me?"
Ghosts should not appear to be at a loss.
But Qinghuai now doesn’t even know where to put the ghost energy.
Bai Ningning could hear her own heartbeat beating like a clock.
It should be hers, right?
Ghosts aren't supposed to have heartbeats.
"good."
Qing Huai heard himself say this.
Although he didn't feel any pull from the power of words, he inexplicably wanted to obey everything she said.
I want to be with her, no matter what we do.
