"You must not look at that stone statue, and you absolutely must not touch it!"
Aunt Purple Fox rested her chin on her hand, her gaze lazily lingering on Gingerbread's face.
Gingerbread: "Why?"
"I heard that something extraordinary is sealed inside." The proprietress paused.
He seemed to be deliberating whether or not to say what he was about to say.
"What's sealed?" Gingerbread asked immediately.
Purple Fox saw that she looked impatient, as if she was saying, "I'm only telling you this because you kept asking me."
"Oh, do you know the ruler of Fengming Kingdom?"
“I know.” Gingerbread nodded eagerly.
"Legend has it that during the great battle, the demon cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and the entire royal family of Fengming Kingdom perished in the conflict. That stone statue was built by humans to suppress the soul of the king, preventing him from ever being reborn."
"Hiss—" Is this too much?
They joined forces to wipe out an entire family and even suppressed their souls.
Purple Fox switched hands to support her chin. "Some demons say that anyone who gets close to the stone statue can hear the king's mournful cries. There's also a saying that the deeper one's obsession, the stronger the attack on one's soul, and the longer one will be unconscious."
At this point, he glanced at Liu Zheng.
"You, my butterfly fairy sister, have quite a strong obsession!"
Purple Fox did not hear Gingerbread's reply.
She looked up and saw the other person's face scrunched up.
"Little sparrow fairy, what are you thinking about?" Aunt Purple Fox waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Gingerbread asked earnestly, "I also have a deep craving for pork knuckle, so why did you wake up so quickly?"
Purple Fox choked, then paused before laughing, "They were talking about emotional obsession, emotions! You glutton!"
"A foodie's feelings don't count as feelings!" Gingerbread protested.
Her love for food is very pure, okay?
Do stone statues discriminate against foodies?
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a little sparrow demon like you. I'm going back to get some beauty sleep."
Purple Fox gathered the strands of hair beside her cheek.
She walked away, swaying her slender waist.
Gingerbread sighed and glanced at the sleeping Liu Zheng, "Senior sister, you still have designs on our master."
His obsession ran so deep that he was in a coma for so long.
Love and romance are truly baffling.
Gingerbread got out of bed and went to the table to eat pastries, then asked Fenjue, "Is Purple Fox telling the truth?"
Fen Jue: "Yes, but before Zi Hu arrived, Wen Yu Zhao cut Liu Zheng's hand and took her blood."
"Blood collection? What is the purpose of blood collection...?"
Gingerbread's pig brain is about to overload again.
Fen Jue: "Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Since Wen Yuzhao lured you here, you'll find out the answer sooner or later."
That makes sense.
Gingerbread quickly put her worries behind her.
In her mind's eye, Fen Jue pinched her brow, telling her not to think about it; she forgot too quickly.
...
Until the next day.
Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao then woke up.
certainly.
Liu Zheng is real.
Wen Yuzhao was faking it.
"What happened, Junior Sister?" Wen Yuzhao asked, rubbing his temples, looking completely bewildered.
Gingerbread thought to itself: It must have been hard for you to lie there for so long and pretend for so long.
She repeated what Aunt Purple Fox had said.
"So that's how it is."
Liu Zheng poured himself a glass of water and drank it, then said thoughtfully, "We'll go directly to the Crown Prince's Tomb tomorrow."
"Since the source of everything is the Crown Prince's tomb, we can find something there."
Wen Yuzhao pursed her lips, "Then I'll listen to Senior Sister."
Gingerbread ate the spiritual fruit while watching his second senior brother perform.
If this acting were in modern times, it would definitely win a Golden Magnolia Award or a White Magnolia Award.
Just then.
"Yo-ho, jump one, jump one!"
"A pretty young lady can't even dance?"
"This human cultivator is far inferior to the demon cultivator!"
They could hear the commotion outside even from inside the house.
Liu Zheng quickly grasped the key point: "Human cultivators? Let's go out and take a look."
Push open the door and stand by the railing in the corridor.
Look towards the area where the crowd is gathered on the first floor.
Inside the iron cage was a young girl dressed in a pink dress, with a pitiful appearance.
His eyes were full of stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
Wen Yuzhao frowned. "Bai Wushuang from Mingyue Palace?"
"Who is Bai Wushuang?" Jiang Bingbing asked.
Liu Zheng's expression darkened slightly. "She is a personal disciple of the Palace Master of Mingyue Palace, and also the senior sister of Mingyue Palace."
Gingerbread remained bewildered.
"She's the woman who confessed her love to Ling Hanchuan and was cleaved in two by a single sword strike," Wen Yuzhao added casually.
oh oh.
It's her!
How did I end up here?
Liu Zheng's lips tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "We have to think of a way to save her."
"How can we save them?" Wen Yuzhao said with difficulty. "Demon cultivators have long hated human cultivators. Any human cultivator who dares to enter the Eastern Continent may not be able to get out even if they are skinned alive."
Liu Zheng: "Let me think about it."
"Purple Fox, name your price, how much do you want for me?" The wolf demon stuck out its tongue and licked the area.
Gingerbread muttered something disgusting under his breath.
Aunt Purple Fox walked from the counter to the edge of the stage, "You stinky wolf demon, can you afford it?"
"He can't afford it, but we can!"
Among the demon cultivators watching, one of them cried out.
"Alright, alright." Purple Fox clapped her hands. "If you really want to buy, just give me this amount."
She spread her five fingers.
A demon cultivator asked, "Fifty thousand spirit stones?"
"Tch—" Purple Fox scoffed, "Five million spirit stones!"
Five million? Are you crazy?! You're insane!
Upon hearing this, the demon cultivators scattered in all directions.
Who would spend five million to hire a disobedient person to fix them?
I might consider buying it for fun with 50,000 spirit stones.
"Let's disperse, Aunt Purple Fox is getting more and more outrageous."
