The soul beast paused, and its small face, almost as indifferent as the Netherworld Envoy's, instantly turned bright red. All its composure and calmness vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of embarrassment...
"Uh... well!" Youyou couldn't help but say, "How about you take care of your personal matters first, and then we'll..."
"I can!" Before she could finish speaking, the soul beast answered firmly, accompanied by a series of even more turbulent gurgling sounds.
"No, I mean there's no rush now. These ghosts are already trapped anyway, so why don't we..."
“I can!” he emphasized again.
"No need to be in such a hurry. After all, even beasts have to relieve themselves sometimes, it's understandable..."
"I can!" *Gurgle gurgle...*
"Should we leave first..."
"I can!" *Gurgle gurgle gurgle*...
"...Fine! You can do it!" Youyou had no choice but to back down; this soul beast was just too stubborn.
The soul beast's expression grew even uglier, as if it was desperately enduring something. It gritted its teeth and endured until its face turned pale, yet it still refused to transform into its original form. As a result, a pair of horns uncontrollably sprouted from its head, and a tail slid out from behind it.
He wanted to continue walking, but found he couldn't resist, so he crossed his legs and tensed up completely. Only his stomach emitted a series of unrestrained, crisp sounds.
Glug... glug... glug glug glug...
Finally, the soul beast couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed to the ground, clutching its stomach and rolling around.
"Sigh..." You You sighed, took out a pill and handed it over, "Take this first, it might make you feel better. Why do this to yourself, child... We're not even here to see you."
Whether from holding it in or feeling wronged, the soul beast's eyes were bloodshot. As it spat out the pill, it said, "The Underworld Envoy... isn't here! It... won't do!"
"Huh?" Youyou was taken aback, and it took her a while to react. "You mean... you don't mean that if the Underworld Envoy doesn't come, you'll keep having this diarrhea and pain, right?"
The soul beast's face turned even paler, its shame deepening, yet it still nodded, "Most... that's how it is!"
"..." Holy crap! It really is! What kind of awful work treatment is this? Suddenly I don't want Qiu Zhang to continue cultivating and breaking through anymore!
Imagine Qiu Zhang entering the underworld and becoming a ghost messenger, the scene of him going on missions with soul beasts and squatting in the toilet together...
Uh... no, no, no, I can't think about it. Just thinking about it makes me feel like even the air is filled with a strange fragrance!
That's terrifying!
"Help...me." The soul beast suddenly tugged at her sleeve, raised its head and looked at her with watery eyes, just like a cat showing its belly.
Youyou felt a sudden pang of sympathy. "How can I help you? Call the Underworld Envoy over? But I don't have his contact information!" Last time, the Underworld Envoy came quickly and left just as fast, leaving the soul beast behind and disappearing. She was preoccupied with Qiu Zhang's matter and completely forgot to ask for his contact information; by the time she remembered, it was too late.
"No..." The soul beast shook its head, its face contorted in even greater pain, and said anxiously, "Send away the remnant soul, you... know!"
"I know?" She knows nothing! She has no idea...
Wait a minute! She actually knows.
Perhaps due to the influence of the sealing method transmitted by the soul beast, she now has many things in her mind and inexplicably understands what it means. All she needs to do is draw out the remnant souls from the soul beast's body and send them to the underworld.
Although soul beasts are said to devour souls, they actually only absorb the impure energy tainted by the remnants of souls. The souls themselves are not consumed; instead, the soul beasts preserve the soul power of those remnants, preventing them from easily dissipating into the world. Under normal circumstances, the remnants of souls consumed by the soul beasts, nourished by the yin energy, will automatically flow into the underworld.
In other words, soul beasts are actually just transit stations for remnants of souls.
Of course, that's the normal situation. What's abnormal is what's happening now. The soul beast overeats, and too many remnant souls and scattered spirits clog its body. It also lacks sufficient yin energy, which not only affects its health but also prevents it from nourishing its remnant souls and scattered spirits, thus rendering it unable to go to the underworld.
At this point, it's necessary to pull the soul out and manually send it to the lower realm. That's what the Underworld Envoy did when the soul beast overeats last time. Pulling out the soul is also simple; as long as there's enough power, it can be pulled out of its body. Feng Rong can do that too. The difficulty lies in how to send it to the Underworld.
She's not a messenger of the underworld who can freely travel between the two realms. Besides, the gap that led directly to the underworld has already been closed. Even if she wanted to send these ghosts away, she wouldn't have that skill!
Wait! Skills?
Youyou suddenly remembered that among her game skills, there seemed to be a teleportation skill, and its name was something like: Divine Travel Across the Myriad Realms?
Could it really locate the underworld?
Seeing that the soul beast's expression was becoming more and more painful, and even cold sweat was starting to appear on its forehead.
Youyou gritted her teeth; she had no choice but to give it a try.
"Well... just hang in there a little longer, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success!" she said, turning to the person next to her. "Feng Rong, could you please draw out the remnant soul from the soul beast's body first?"
"Hmm." Feng Rong didn't hesitate. She made a hand seal and slapped the soul beast. The next moment, like a string of gourds, she pulled out a series of white soul orbs from its body.
Youyou took a deep breath before activating the teleportation skill and chanting the skill's command.
"I'll see you off, a thousand miles away, I don't care if you're black or white..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Soul Beast: "..."
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
What happened to the promised soul-sending ceremony? Why did they suddenly start singing?
Youyou's lips twitched. She didn't want to sing either, but if she didn't sing this line, she wouldn't be able to remember the lyrics! She was even worried that her voice wasn't loud enough to get going!
The next moment, the sky suddenly brightened, and a huge golden wheel appeared in the sky, occupying the entire horizon. The dazzling golden light instantly dispelled the darkness shrouded in yin energy, and the surroundings instantly returned to daytime. The light from the golden wheel in the sky was even more dazzling than the sunlight.
"The Wheel Seal!" the soul beast blurted out, looking up at the huge wheel in the air with disbelief. The beast was completely dumbfounded.
What is the Wheel Seal? Youyou glanced at the wheel in the sky. Isn't it a teleportation array diagram for traveling across the myriad worlds? Before she could ask, the next moment, she saw the series of souls that Feng Rong had pulled out of the soul beast's body suddenly fly up and rise towards the wheel in the sky at an extremely fast speed.
And that's not all. All the ghosts under the roulette wheel suddenly stopped floating, looked up at the sky, and their souls slowly turned white, as if they had been cleansed by something. They were all drawn together and turned into streaks of white light, flying up into the sky and disappearing into the center of the roulette wheel.
