Chapter 91 Luo Chuan, you're in her hands now.
"Task 1: Successfully cooperate with Demon King Luo Chuan to find the spirit of the Burning Heaven Tower. Reward: half a star."
Karin stared blankly at her hands. "I...did it."
Luo Chuan's lips curled slightly beneath his gilded mask. Just as he was about to speak, the girl beside him, who had been barely clinging to life, suddenly jumped up and ran like a monkey to another monkey's side. "Tang Wanwan, I succeeded!"
Tang Wanwan's eyes were filled with excitement, "Yes, yes, yes, we've found the tower spirit too, we can finally report back."
Upon hearing the mention of the Tower Spirit, Huali immediately turned around and found the Tower Spirit hiding tightly behind Zhaoheng, only peeking at them with one eye showing.
Unbound by the Immortal-Binding Rope, Zhao Heng smiled slightly at Hua Li, her emerald green eyes filled with gentle light, instantly reminding Hua Li of the moment when he gave her the red rope when they were children.
Karin's face immediately fell.
She stepped forward in a few strides. "Zhaoheng, do you know where you went wrong?"
Zhao Heng's ahoge (cowlick) swayed gently in the wind as she blinked.
Huali: "!!!" It seems she needs to teach this beast a lesson in life.
"In short, never put your life in the hands of anyone else, not even the person you trust most, understand?"
Zhao Heng paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "May I know your name?"
"Of course, Karin, my name is Karin."
Just as Huali was about to say something, Zhaoheng suddenly reached out and touched her forehead, and green light instantly surged in.
"What is this?" Huali crossed her eyes and tried to look at the space between her eyebrows, when she heard Zhaoheng say, "A blessing."
Immersed in joy, Huali didn't notice when the tower spirit emerged from behind Zhaoheng and stood at her feet.
"Um..." Taling's round little toe twitched slightly, and she rubbed her nose a little embarrassedly, but the girl above her didn't notice at all.
He coughed loudly, "Hey!!!"
Still no response. This is intolerable!
Taling frowned, jumped up, and hit her knee. "I'm calling you!"
Huali then realized what was happening and lowered her head.
No longer shrouded in black mist, the tower spirit's face was round and had the pinkish tenderness unique to babies. He wore a white short robe, the hem of which only reached his knees, revealing his plump, lotus-root-like calves.
His large, round, amber-colored pupils were crystal clear.
"Are you calling me?" Huali squatted down, suddenly curious. "How did you and Zhaoheng meet?"
The tower spirit's face immediately turned red when Huali approached. "Um... I... ran away and was chased all the way to Luoyun Mountain. I was looking for a place to hide, and Zhaoheng's pure spiritual energy attracted me. He used his own spiritual energy to save me..."
I see.
Some people abandon their childhood friendships for their own selfish reasons.
Some people, moved by a small act of kindness, hold fast to their profound goodwill and selflessly protect others.
When Taling saw Huali's smiling eyes, his face turned bright red. He awkwardly raised his head and asked, "What do you think of me?"
"Very good." Even though he hated the villagers to the extreme, he did not allow himself to kill indiscriminately. If he really wanted to lock them in the tower, why did he have to wait until they found out?
Ultimately, it's just about maintaining a positive and kind heart.
"Oh, I see." Taling's big eyes immediately filled with a happy smile. "Then I'll be frank. I think you're very strong, and I kind of like you. Why don't you consider me?"
Karin: "?"

On the other side, Zhanli, who was completely ignored, was unwilling to be outdone, but was hindered by Luo Chuan's powerful demonic energy, so he could only rage helplessly, "Hand over the Burning Heaven Tower."
Tang Wanwan flew into a rage, "This belongs to our Spirit Sword Sect, why should we give it to you?"
Before Zhan Li could respond, Luo Chuan, who had been ignored, suddenly spoke up, "Oh? Something from your Spirit Sword Sect?"
Hua Li keenly sensed the implication in his words and immediately stood up, but Tang Wanwan was faster, putting her hands on her hips and looking him up and down, "Yeah, what does it have to do with you!"
"Heh." Luo Chuan chuckled, and ice crystals suddenly condensed in his hand. Without blinking, he stabbed at Tang Wanwan.
Huali, who was prepared, stepped forward to stop her, and the ice crystals instantly cut through her palm, but the expected pain did not come.
Tang Wanwan was startled and quickly pulled out spiritual medicine from her Qiankun bag, sprinkling it onto Hua Li's palm as if it were free. "Are you crazy? Can't I dodge myself?!" She only realized something was wrong after sprinkling half of it. "Huh? Why is there no wound?"
Rosewood remained noncommittal.
The Demon King's image in her mind was too stereotypical; she always felt that this lunatic might suddenly go crazy at any time.
After all, he came here for the Burning Heaven Tower from the very beginning.
Karin subconsciously looked at the lunatic, only to see the lunatic's expression suddenly change, as if he were raising his right hand in disbelief.
Blood was dripping from his palm, clearly from the cuts made by the ice crystals.
Karin: "???"
The curve of Luo Chuan's lips suddenly froze, and his heterochromatic pupils beneath the gilded mask contracted sharply.
Sympathy?
This realization made his Adam's apple bob.
Not far away, the Chaos Beast sensed its master's emotions and suddenly roared. Its six wings, which blotted out the sky, flapped, and its crimson vertical pupils stared intently at Huali.
Huali: "???" What? I didn't do anything wrong.
Luo Chuan healed the wound on his palm with a slight change of mind. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Hua Li, who had noticed something was wrong, suddenly looked at him strangely.
"Wanwan, lend me your sword for a moment."
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Tang Wanwan said reluctantly, "This is my natal sword, be gentle."
Huali took the Xuanfeng Sword, took a deep breath, and under everyone's gaze, lightly traced a line on her finger.
No wounds visible?
Tang Wanwan's eyes widened. "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Give it back!" The Xuanfeng Sword also began to hum in dissatisfaction.
Huali quickly patted the sword reassuringly, "Wait, let me try again, let me try again."
This time, she gritted her teeth and slashed her arm with a sword, just as expected.
There was no pain, and no blood flowed.
Tang Wanwan clearly noticed this as well. "What's going on?"
Huali looked up at Luochuan and saw him standing there with an unpredictable expression, a sword wound on his arm slowly bleeding.
Huali gasped, "What's going on?" Why did her injuries suddenly transfer to Luo Chuan's body?
"Shared feelings." Zhao Heng said.
"The Immortal Binding Rope was untied by the two of you working together, but the spiritual power bound to it remained. So it turned into a stream of light and entered your hearts, and the result was the shared feeling."
Huali's teeth ached instantly. "So, does that mean Luo Chuan's injuries will transfer to me?"
His level of fighting is far beyond what she can handle right now; she'd be dead in a heartbeat.
Zhao Heng nodded and then shook her head, her ahoge swaying wildly in the wind. "That should be the case, but I still have a connection with the Immortal Binding Rope. The blessing I just placed between your eyebrows is a restriction, so the injury to the other party will not be transferred to you."
Karin suddenly looked up: "!!!"
The smile that Luo Chuan had just put on vanished again, and without blinking, he slashed a bloody wound on his arm.
Huali shrank back, instinctively covering her arm, hiss—
But a miracle happened: both of her arms were completely unharmed.
Now that she was completely convinced, Huali almost wanted to do a folk dance on the spot, shouting, "See? See? Good people are rewarded! Heaven has eyes!"
Now that's perfect! I was just wondering how to survive in Luo Chuan's hands, and this opportunity has come my way!
Luo Chuan, you've finally met your match! You'll be in her hands soon enough!
Zhao Heng was amused by her appearance, but suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Her emerald eyes met Luo Chuan's ambiguous eyes, which seemed to be smiling but were not. She slowly blinked, "?"
