The gray rat stood there, like a phantom shadow, untouchable by fists or swords.
If you can't touch it, you can't hurt it.
"Song Feng, do you know your crime?" Gray Rat suddenly spoke in human language.
Song Feng clenched his fists, with fallen swords and knives scattered around his feet, and asked angrily, "What crime have I committed?"
He may have committed heinous crimes against Feng Xiao and Shen Rusui, but he did nothing to this rat.
Song Feng calmed himself down. Since he couldn't hit the gray rat, he would wait until it got close and then launch a surprise attack.
No matter how strong the gray rat is, it absolutely cannot withstand one of his palm strikes.
But the gray rat didn't come over; instead, it slowly disappeared.
Song Feng chased after the rat out of the room, but could not find it anywhere.
"What bad luck," Song Feng cursed, turned around and went back into the house to continue writing his story.
This story was meant for the Empress.
After arriving in the capital, Feng Xiao had been trying to see the Empress, but fortunately, all the letters he received were intercepted by his men.
Now that Shen Sanmu has also become involved, the whole matter has become even more complicated and the situation unpredictable.
As soon as Song Feng sat down, the gray rat reappeared, this time standing on his desk with a creepy, eerie smile on its lips.
Unable to bear it any longer, Song Feng struck out with his palm, shattering the desk and sending the wall behind it flying.
Boom!
Song Feng managed to escape before the study collapsed.
Seeing his treasured books, collected over many years, now all buried under the rubble, Song Feng felt a pang of heartache.
What's even more infuriating is that gray rat, standing on the ruins, still sporting that eerie, punchable smile.
The guards rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and were all bewildered when Song Feng said there was a gray rat standing there.
Simply because they saw nothing.
Song Feng swung his palm again, sending rubble and tiles flying into the sky.
But the gray mouse was still there laughing.
"I have no grudge against you, so why are you harassing me?" Song Feng's voice was full of despair.
The guards exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that Song Feng must be under too much pressure and was hallucinating.
The idea of a gray fairy taking lives is utter nonsense.
But in Song Feng's eyes, the gray rat was always clinging to him, and he could see it even when he closed his eyes.
Song Feng was quickly driven to the brink of collapse by that gray rat.
...
"I heard Song Feng is dead?"
"Song Feng?"
"It is Minister of Revenue, Lord Song."
"How did he die?"
"His death was horrific. It is said that his whole body was covered in rat fur, his teeth became like a rat's, and a rat's tail grew on his buttocks. He died a very horrific death."
In the capital, people in many places are discussing this matter.
Song Feng was killed by the Gray Immortal, his body covered in rat fur, resembling a rat. This was something everyone would be happy to see, as long as it didn't happen to them.
Even though a long time had passed since he learned the news, Feng Xiao still couldn't calm down.
When Bian Lang said that Hui Xian would get rid of Song Feng, Feng Xiao didn't quite believe it. But when he learned that Song Feng was really dead, he was shocked but also relieved.
With Song Feng dead, this matter can be considered completely resolved.
Next, she no longer needed to see the Empress unless she was summoned by the Empress.
As for whether Bian Lang was the corpse driver the Empress had been searching for, she decided to follow Shen Sanmu's advice and not try.
If not, doing nothing is the right thing to do.
If so, I believe that, under the arrangement of fate, those destined to meet will eventually reunite.
Meanwhile, in a restaurant in the capital, Bian Lang looked at the bustling streets outside, feeling quite puzzled.
Shen Sanmu has been accepting Shen Ruhui's corpse for a long time, but the Corpse Brother has not reacted at all.
Although Shen Ruhui was eventually brought back to life, the entire process of transporting corpses was successfully completed.
Just then, the Corpse Brother finally reacted.
[Successfully transported Shen Ruhui's remains to the Shen Mansion in the Imperial Capital. Reward: 10,000 years of internal energy.]
[Bonus: Reduces the abstinence period by 60 years.]
The fact that the reward came so slowly this time could be because either the Corpse Brother was confused, or Shen Ruhui's resurrection was beyond the Corpse Brother's expectations.
In any case, if you can gain some skill and shorten the period of abstinence, then it won't be a complete loss.
"I can't believe that rat actually killed Song Feng." Liu Yi found it unbelievable.
It's absurd that Song Feng, a powerful cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, couldn't defeat a rat.
Bian Lang said, "We can't offend those beings that are beyond the natural world."
"Shouldn't we go home?" Dugu Qiusheng felt a sudden pang of homesickness.
My mother must be very bored and lonely staying at home alone. I should go back and spend more time with her.
Bian Lang said, "We'll set off tomorrow."
They've explored enough of the outside world and learned what they needed to know; that's enough for them.
The next day.
As soon as the three of them left the inn, they saw Feng Xiao and Shen Ruhui walking towards them, chatting and laughing.
Upon learning that Bian Lang and the others were really leaving this time, their expressions clearly changed.
"Brother Bian, can we go with you to explore the world?" Shen Ruhui asked with a smile.
Seeing that Bian Lang remained silent, Feng Xiao smiled and said, "It's obviously impossible. Let's see them off."
"Then at least tell us where your home is, right?" Shen Ruhui asked with a smile.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "If you knew, you would probably avoid us like the plague."
"We can't stay in the prison, can we?" Feng Xiao joked.
Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng were both shocked, never expecting that Feng Xiao's casual joke would reveal their origins.
Seeing their reactions, Feng Xiao asked in surprise, "You two really came from Prison Land?"
Bian Lang laughed and said, "That place is exactly the prison you mentioned."
"Brother Bian, how did you get here?" Shen Ruhui was more interested in this question.
Bian Lang said, "We killed the qualified crab general and snatched the treasure that allows us to cross the river from him."
This sounds outrageous, but Feng Xiao and Shen Ruhui both believe that Bian Lang is telling the truth.
"Don't you think we're prisoners?" Liu Yi asked, puzzled.
The two girls in front of me were reacting strangely to the visitors from Prison Land.
Feng Xiao laughed and said, "That Prison Land was created by the Empress ten thousand years ago. Most of the people living on the Prison Land today probably don't know about that dark history, so how could they be prisoners?"
“Actually, fewer and fewer people here know about this. If we weren’t interested in the history of the past, we wouldn’t know at all,” Shen Ruhui added.
They then revealed something surprising: in recent years, there has been a very loud call to fill in the Tongtian River.
After all, the Prison Land is very vast and rich in resources, and it can be well developed.
However, the Empress has yet to make a decision.
Dugu Qiusheng clicked his tongue and said, "This empress has lived for so long, could she be a ten-thousand-year-old monster?"
"The Empress is not a monster, but the most beautiful woman in the world," Feng Xiao said with a smile.
Dugu Qiusheng asked, "Wouldn't that mean you have many male concubines?"
