The woman's expression changed drastically, as did Maoshan Ming's. He said in a deep voice, "I subdued this woman. How dare you, a mere brat, try to harm her!"
"Master Mao, do you still think of me as a greenhorn? I heard it clearly just now, she called you to ask your father!" Sister Bai said. Mao Shanming paused for a moment, then said, "That's because this woman is grateful to me for sparing her life, that's why she called me that!"
"Yes, yes, don't misunderstand, we're really not father and daughter!" The woman chuckled awkwardly, but Sister Bai had already made her move, slapping out a Soul-Suppressing Talisman, and Maoshan Ming immediately blocked her way.
"Get out of the way! We are the Celestial Masters and the Claws are sworn enemies. Any Claw spirit that sees us will either be sent to reincarnation or be destroyed!" Sister Bai said in a deliberately cold voice.
Mao Shanming was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He wasn't blind; he could see that this young man's strength far surpassed his own. If he were to take his daughter in, he really wouldn't be able to stop him. So, after thinking for a moment, Mao Shanming said somewhat helplessly, "Yes, she is my daughter, her name is Xiaobao!"
Seeing that Mao Shanming had admitted it, Sister Bai finally withdrew the Soul-Suppressing Talisman. However, Mao Jiu looked like he had seen a claw, and said, "She's your daughter? Her cultivation looks like it's been almost ten years. Even though you're a mediocre sorcerer, you should at least know that clawed souls can't stay in the mortal realm for too long, otherwise they'll never have the chance to be reincarnated!"
Mao Shanming's face darkened, and he said, "How could I not know this principle? It's just... it's just that Xiao Zhen... she won't leave!"
Sister Bai frowned and said, "She's not leaving? Why?"
“Don’t blame my father, it’s my own fault for not wanting to leave. I’ve been sickly since I was a child, and my father has been wandering the world to cure me. Even after my mother passed away, he still never gave up on me. I think it’s better this way, at least I can stay with my father for the rest of my life, whether I’m reincarnated or not doesn’t matter.”
Xiao Zhen smiled sweetly, but that was all the emotion she could reveal. A claw is a claw, and a person is a person; there are ultimately differences. After listening, Sister Bai saw that Mao Shanming's eyes were red, as if he was truly in pain.
After thinking for a while, Sister Bai said, "Xiao Zhen, if you want to be reincarnated now, I can help you!"
Maoshan Ming suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you really have a way?!"
Sister Bai nodded, but Mao Xiaozhen kept shaking her head and said, "I don't want to be reincarnated, I just want to follow you like this for the rest of my life!"
"Xiao Zhen... why are you being so foolish? Before, your father's magic wasn't strong enough to help you connect to the gates of hell, causing you to miss your best chance to be reincarnated. Now that someone can help you, why do you still want me to stay by your side!"
Mao Shanming angrily shouted at his daughter, but Mao Xiaozhen stubbornly held her head high.
"Even if you don't want to be reincarnated, you can't keep following your father and committing fraud. That's immoral. When your father's lifespan ends, he won't be able to be reincarnated into a good life! Besides, people and things are different. You're following your father out of good intentions, but your yin energy will still affect him to some extent. It's a lose-lose situation. You have no choice but to be reincarnated! How about this, you come with me, and I'll try to find a chance to communicate with the gates of hell to help you be reincarnated!"
Mao Jiu also chimed in with his advice, and even said he wanted to take Mao Xiaozhen with him! Sister Bai didn't seem to care much, and simply said, "Either you go and reincarnate, or I'll take you in. You choose!"
Mao Xiaozhen glared at him and said, "I won't choose any of them!"
Sister Bai sneered and said, "Your father can't stop me, so I have to do what I want to do!"
What kind of nonsense is this, this father and daughter constantly giving in to each other? Even if they have a deep bond, the dead cannot be reincarnated, and this is absolutely pointless. It not only harms Mao Shanming, but also brings no benefit to Mao Xiaozhen.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Mao Jiu made his move, grabbing directly at Mao Xiaozhen! This greatly surprised Sister Bai. Although she was a beat too slow, Sister Bai quickly got in front of Mao Jiu and stopped him, saying, "Uncle Mao, I was the one who offered to help first. How can you try to take it from me?"
"Isn't this the one you said you wanted to catch? Besides, if she doesn't want to follow you, then she'll naturally follow me." Mao Jiu smiled faintly, but Sister Bai waved her hand, and then Mao Xiaozhen disappeared inexplicably.
Mao Jiu's eyes widened immediately, and Mao Shanming's face also turned anxious. He roared, "What have you done to Xiao Zhen?"
"Don't worry, Master Mao, you can stay at my place for a few days. I'll let you see Xiao Zhen reincarnate with your own eyes!" Sister Bai said with a smile, then stretched and said, "Alright, that old woman with the cracked skin claws is dealt with, and we also took down two deep-fried ones. Let's go back!"
Mao Shanming stared intently at Sister Bai without saying a word. Seeing her walk away, he became worried and hurried after her. Mao Jiu lagged behind, his gaze equally fixed on her. He just couldn't understand where Sister Bai had hidden Mao Xiaozhen!

Chapter 25: I Acquired a Little Girl's Claw!
Mao Jiu also returned to the city and went to the hospital. He wanted to see where Sister Bai had hidden Mao Xiaozhen.
Taoism does indeed have many things that can conceal the soul, and Mao Jiu also has them. But a magical artifact that can be hidden away so easily, like Sister Bai's, is still extremely rare.
