"I love you so much, my lady. How can you be so cute?"
Meng Po was close to her, and her fragrance was all over her body.
Wen Xi pushed her away helplessly and said, "Let me try to find out if there is any way to completely heal the soul."
When Lu Pan walked in with a pile of old files, he saw two beautiful women hugging each other. His eyes couldn't help but wander, and he covered his lips with his hands and coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"Miss, actually, you once told a family about the method of nurturing the soul body a long time ago. I think you were still young at that time and may have forgotten it."
Judge Lu reminded her, "That's a method of nurturing residual souls that the Lord once mentioned, and it's also recorded in ancient books of the underworld. However, few people practice it, and it's not clear whether it's actually useful."
Wen Xi's mind suddenly lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Could it be the Luo family in Lanjiang City? That remnant soul is Luo Mingyi?"
No wonder when I heard Luo Minglang say that, I felt it sounded so familiar. So... she really said that?
"I remember it happened in Lanjiang City, but I don't quite remember if his surname was Luo."
Judge Lu said gently, "Of course, this also depends on the remnant soul's current state. Some can be nourished by a blood-connected Xuanling Master, while others are uncertain whether this will be effective. Everything depends on fate. Miss, please do not blame yourself."
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, "Lu Pan, I didn't..."
"I have watched the young lady grow up since she was little, so I can still guess her emotions to some extent."
Judge Lu continued gently, "Actually, when the Lord brought the young lady back, I felt that she should be the future King of Fengdu. You are very resilient in life, and the fate of the Lord of the Underworld is very compatible with you. I'm not sure if I should say something."
"Go ahead."
"The fate of the Emperor of Fengdu is very noble, and the power bestowed upon him is also very strong. If the fate has chosen my lady, he will do his utmost to protect your life. Whether he holds the seal or not is irrelevant. It all depends on whether my lady can comprehend the power of the fate."
Judge Lu said, "As for the eldest lady's mother, honestly, she's too concerned. The eldest lady could consult a fortune teller to see if this disaster is caused by her fate or if it was always in her destiny!"
Lu Pan's words made Wen Xi's breathing slow down a bit. His mind was in a daze and he felt that he couldn't make sense of the information.
"Lu Pan, what do you mean..."
"I don't mean anything. Please make your own decision, Miss."
Lu Pan handed the ancient book in his hand to her and flipped through it. "As for the remaining remnant soul, it is more difficult to repair than any other remnant soul. I have searched many ancient books, but this one has the words personally written by the master. We must find the soul of the Styx and the turbid air crystal. However..."
"Just what?"
Wen Xi asked anxiously.
"Miss, please look."
Lu Pan pointed to the words in the book and showed her the word "difficult" in a vigorous and powerful way.
Wen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this what the old man wrote? Does he mean that these two things are difficult to find?"
"Yes, that's exactly what the master meant. The Soul of the Styx lies in the heart of the Styx. No one has seen it for hundreds or even thousands of years. The master was fortunate enough to obtain it back then, but it also damaged his own cultivation. You have to know how many billions of resentful spirits gather in the waters of the Styx. Once you go down, you will be devoured. That is the punishment of the blue sky, just like Zhai Wujiang. Even if you have the chance to come out again, your soul and body will be riddled with holes. It is really not worth it."
Lu Pan shook his head seriously, not wanting Wen Xi to do this. "Besides, this turbid air crystal was born in a forbidden area, the center of the dark turbid air. It's not easy to go in and withstand the erosion of the turbid air, let alone obtain the crystal."
“How do you know if it works if you don’t try it?”
Wen Xi murmured to himself, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
Judge Lu shook his head and sighed, feeling distressed. "Actually, when I found out about this today, I've been hesitating whether to tell you, young lady. I knew you'd risk your life to find the ultimate solution. The Lord also wanted to save your mother, but... at the time, he was willing but unable. As he's about to step down, his power is no longer as strong as it once was. These two things are difficult to obtain. Any mistake could lead to his death. And he also has a responsibility on his shoulders, which is to train the next generation of Fengdu Emperors."
Wen Xi's heart was moved as she listened to the past.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Lu Pan, I have never blamed the old man for not saving my mother. As he said, that was my mother's choice. She chose to love me, so I must choose to love her as well. This is also my most determined choice."
Judge Lu's eyes were filled with love as he said with relief, "Young Lady has truly grown up. I won't say anything more. As long as Young Lady wants to do something, I will unconditionally support and help her. I've already ordered the Evil Punishment Department to light incense around the Styx to exorcise the evil spirits within. They'll do their best to drive them elsewhere within this period of time, leaving a clear passage."
"Thank you, Lu Pan."
Wen Xi's eyes were filled with emotion and he smiled.
For three whole days and three nights, Wen Xi soaked in the water of the Styx. Although the exorcising incense had driven away many evil spirits, some were bound to slip through the net.
Lu Pan on the shore had a blank expression on his face, only his clenched fists revealed his nervousness and worry.
"Oh my god, when will my eldest lady come out?"
Meng Po walked back and forth in front of them in a long skirt, making everyone's eyes dizzy.
"Alright, Mengpo, you haven't been doing your job properly lately. Why are you always hanging around us instead of guarding your Mengpo soup?"
The Punishment Officer was dazzled and couldn't help but speak out.
Meng Po narrowed her eyes and glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Why? I have someone making soup for me, do you have any objections? Besides, I am worried about the young lady, I have to stay here to protect her."
"Okay, okay, I'm getting a headache just listening to you talk."
How could the Punishment Department win over her? She rubbed her brows and spoke helplessly.
"It's coming out, it's coming out, the young lady is coming out."
Bai Yi pursed his lips and looked serious. When he saw the beautiful figure in the water flowing out from the center of the Styx, his eyes lit up and he pointed at her excitedly and shouted, showing a rare joy on his face.
"Miss!"
Everyone quickly gathered around him. Wen Xi landed on the shore, his body covered with scars and scratches from the evil spirits, and his face looked thinner.
She carefully took out a small transparent bead from her bosom and smiled slightly, "Lu Pan, look, I found it. This is the Soul of the Styx."
