Little Black shook its head as it looked at the screen: 'Master, this little girl is a bit pitiful.'
Bai Chi remained unmoved: 'Then don't look at it.'
Xiao Hei: '……'
Bai Chi turned off those images on his own initiative.
In fact, he had already reminded the Liu family head to investigate the reason for the failure of the last sacrifice, and had given him seven days.
However, there is one thing that Bai Chi really admires: the Liu family has managed to maintain its lineage for over a thousand years, which is truly remarkable.
He wasn't just referring to the inheritance of family wealth.
However, none of this mattered to him. If the Liu family head could find out the truth and the real sacrificial offering within these seven days, then none of this would have happened.
It was precisely because of the Liu family's concealment that the original owner was the first to perish at the hands of the evil spirit.
Bai Chi withdrew his thoughts and stopped paying attention to the Liu family's affairs. He casually put the stack of warning letters aside, waiting for the right moment to use them to remind others to save their lives.
But then it seems like there's nothing left to do.
Just then, Xiao Hei, who hadn't returned to the space since coming out, suddenly looked surprised and pointed behind Bai Chi.
'Master, look!'
Before he could finish speaking, a fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, and at the same time, a hand landed on his shoulder, a cool body pressed against his back, and long, dark hair and a peach-colored hem slid off his shoulder.
They're out?
From the painting?
Bai Chi was surprised and was about to turn his head to take a closer look when he met the other person looking over as well. In an instant, the two were almost face to face.
This time, Peach Blossom Fairy's eyes were less indifferent than before; she looked more like a living person.
Bai Chi was slightly surprised. Was it because of the books Xiao Hei had given him earlier? Or because he had absorbed his life essence last night?
I have a feeling it's the second reason. After all, Xiao Hei just gave him those books. Even if he wanted to read them, it wouldn't be that soon, right?
It seems that Bai Chi has already questioned Xiao Hei's 'attentiveness' in his mind, and most likely he has given him some kind of forbidden technique.
Just as Bai Chi was lost in thought, the handsome face in front of him suddenly came close, their breaths mingling and their lips touching.
Then I felt my lips being licked.
But it was only for a moment before he stepped back.
"You can't go in."
Yunxiao suddenly spoke, his voice still clear and cold, yet ethereal and somewhat unreal, unlike the voice of a living person.
However, it is indeed not a living person.
Bai Chi countered, "Where can't we go?"
Compared to yesterday in the painting, Yunxiao was now speaking much more fluently.
No, actually he doesn't have a name yet. He's called Yunxiao, but Bai Chi only knows that he is Yunxiao.
Yunxiao tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the portrait not far away.
"You can't go in, you'll die."
As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
Bai Chi's brow twitched. Was he going to die?
Did they die from having their life force drained?
So this morning, we sent him out because we noticed his breathing was getting weaker and weaker?
Just as he was about to ask something, Bai Chi's expression suddenly changed, and Xiao Hei next to him also exclaimed in surprise.
"Master, what's wrong? Your aura is weakening again. Get away from me! Leave me now!"
Xiao Hei, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly rushed in front of Bai Chi. He was smaller than his master's face and reached out to push Bai Chi's nose.
Yunxiao's face turned cold, and he was about to lash out when he suddenly looked at Bai Chi in shock and took a few steps back as if fleeing, with a hint of fear even flashing in his eyes.
The incandescent light flickered, and he barely managed to steady himself. The intense dizziness surprised even himself.
"Master, Master, how are you? Your life force continued to decline just now. How could this guy absorb so much of your life essence with just one touch!"
After 'chasing away' Peach Blossom Fairy, Xiao Hei quickly returned to Bai Chi's shoulder and anxiously checked Bai Chi's physical condition. Seeing that his bloodless face was rapidly recovering, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine."
He first comforted Xiao Hei, then raised his hand and his spiritual power surged out, intercepting Yunxiao who was about to return to the painting.
With a flick of the wrist, Peach Blossom Fairy was bound tightly by invisible spiritual power and brought back to him.
Xiao Hei tensed up instantly.
"Master, be careful! I've analyzed what happened just now. The moment you two touch, he will quickly absorb your life essence!"
Little Black was also conflicted. Of course it knew that although the Peach Blossom Fairy in front of it seemed a bit neurotic, she was definitely not malicious, at least not towards her master.
Having just sensed the loss of its master's vital energy, it was clearly frightened, which is why it quickly retreated.
Moreover, judging from what he said before, he probably thought that his master had gone into the painting last time, which is why his life force was drained, so he came out on his own this time.
However, it is true that as soon as he touches his master, the master's vital energy is quickly transferred to him.
So, what exactly happened?
In that brief moment of distraction, Bai Chi had already brought the person back to him.
"Let go of me! Don't touch me, you'll die!"
The other party tried to return to the painting, but unfortunately, the resistance was futile.
Forget about resisting; aside from being able to speak, his entire body was bound like a dumpling by that invisible spiritual force, and he couldn't even move a hair.
Bai Chi remained unmoved, even raising an eyebrow and smiling with interest:
"Now you can speak normally?"
With a thought, the other party was forced to sit on the sofa next to him. In an instant, Yi Ling and Yi Tong both breathed a sigh of relief, which Bai Chi found amusing.
He just wanted to see what was going on; he wasn't stupid enough to risk his life.
Little Black perked up: "Master, what do you want to do?"
Since we're already out, we're not afraid of being seen by these spirits. Besides, we're not human, so what's there to hide?
Bai Chi walked towards Yun Xiao, who was forced to sit upright on the sofa, and then stopped a step away.
He bent down, leaned closer, and tried to lean back, only to find that he couldn't move at all. He was so shocked that his pupils dilated.
That's amazing?
Bai Chi ignored what he was thinking, and just as Xiao Hei tried to stop him, he gently moved his fingers up and placed them on the other person's shoulder.
"Master, let go! He's absorbing your life force again!"
"No! Don't touch me!"
Xiao Hei jumped up and down on Bai Chi's shoulder in a panic, and Peach Blossom Fairy forgot her shock and was filled with anxiety.
Fortunately, Bai Chi didn't act rashly. When he realized his body was becoming weak, he moved away immediately.
He then stood up, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Strange, this is impossible. It's not a ghost or monster, how could it uncontrollably drain people's life force?"
"Aren't you a fairy?"
Peach Blossom Fairy looked bewildered, clearly not understanding what Bai Chi meant.
Xiao Hei reacted extremely quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes! He's definitely a ghost now. Master, please stop touching him. We can just end the story quickly and start over in the next world!"
As long as the master is alright, anything is fine!
