"Yes, this is the Soul of the Styx."
Lu Pan took a quick glance and then focused his gaze on Wen Xi. He said distressedly, "Miss, how did you get yourself into this state? You are covered in scars. Come with me to heal your wounds."
Wen Xi shook his head, placed the Soul of the Styx close to his body, and held the golden palm print in his palm. "It's because Lu Pan gave me the palm print first. With the palm print of the Emperor of Fengdu, I can find the Soul of the Styx as soon as possible."
Lu Pan shook his head and said, "Miss, you have grown up. Your underworld power is getting stronger and stronger. Otherwise, you would not be able to find the Styx Spirit so quickly just by relying on the palm print."
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and said 'Oh', "Really? You really didn't notice anything at all. I'll return the palm print to you first. I'll go to the forbidden area right now to look for the turbid air crystal."
Meng Po screamed, "Miss, are you crazy? You've been in the Styx for three days and three nights. The evil spirit has entered your body, and you have scars of all sizes. You must recuperate properly. It will be very dangerous for you to go to the forbidden area with a body like this."
"Meng Po is right. We must never go to the forbidden area again."
"But I..."
Wen Xi was very anxious. After taking two steps forward, his head became dizzy and he fainted in Meng Po's arms.
"Miss!"
The moment I closed my eyes, I could only hear the anxious voices of the crowd.

A group of people were sneaking around the door of the Wen family villa, peeking their heads around.
"What are you doing? Why don't you just go in?"
"Wait a minute, what if it's the eldest brother of the Wen family?"
"We're going to visit Sister Wen. Who cares who's there? We'll just go in. What's the matter? Are you afraid of the eldest brother of the Wen family?"
"Hmm... I've met the eldest brother of the Wen family a few times on important occasions before. He's quite majestic. I'm a little scared, what's wrong?"
"Wang Qinghe, you are too timid!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Ah? Are you here to see Sister Wen?"
Song Shiming answered, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but look back. The handsome boy behind him wearing sportswear and with his hands in his pockets was Xiao Shaoyan, right?
"Why are you here?"
Song Shiming asked strangely.
Xiao Shaoyan said calmly, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You were acting so sneaky. Just now, the people in the community almost asked the security guards to come and investigate you. I was the one who explained it to them."
Chu Yanran quickly said, "Really? Thank you so much."
"Are you here to look for Wen Xi?"
Xiao Shaoyan frowned and looked at them with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Yes, Sister Wen has been on leave for half a month and hasn't come to school. She doesn't reply to messages and her phone calls are unreachable. We are worried about her."
Wang Qinghe scratched his head and said in a naive manner.
"Has she not been to school for half a month?"
Xiao Shaoyan murmured, "It's unfortunate that Wen Xi is not at home. I haven't seen her during this period."
"How do you know she's not at home? Could it be that you...?"
Song Shiming noticed something was wrong with this sentence and pointed at him in shock.
Xiao Shaoyan sighed softly, "I do think so, but you think too much. I live next door to her now and am her neighbor. I have been recuperating at home recently and asked Aunt Li, but she hasn't been home yet."
As they spoke, two figures walked out of the Wen family villa, accompanied by a fierce quarrel.
"Where did you hide my master? I've been looking for her for a long time. Please tell me!"
"I said I didn't know."
"You are her brother, how could you not know? Could it be that Master is sick?"
"No!"
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me? You seemed to love your sister very much before, but now I see that it was all fake."
"Shut up!"
"I won't, I won't, I won't!"
"You're looking for death!"
Wen Chenxi's handsome face looked much more haggard, with an untidy beard and an air of gloom. His eyes were cold, and he turned around and grabbed Ma Yingbei's neck. The blade in his hand was against his neck, and blood would be drawn in minutes.
"Captain Wen!"
Xiao Shaoyan quickly spoke out to stop him, "The other party is a descendant of the Ma family, don't act rashly."
"I don't care if he's a descendant of the Ma family or not. I've already resigned as acting deputy director, and I can also resign as captain."
Wen Chenxi spoke coldly.
"What's been going on with you lately? You've become more gloomy and irritable, and you've been appearing and disappearing like a ghost. Director Feng is even looking for you."
Xiao Shaoyan walked forward and pressed Wen Chenxi's shoulders.
Wen Chenxi immediately got furious and his spiritual energy exploded on the spot. All the people nearby were affected and knocked to the ground. A small tree next to him was cut in half on the spot.
Ma Yingbei's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
"Second brother, stop it!"
Wen Jianghan and Wen Qinglian heard the noise from inside the house and came out, trying to stop him.
“Big Brother!”
Wen Chenxi's gloomy expression was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a pain in his neck. He couldn't help but use a little more force in his hands. Ma Yingbei was almost choked to death.
“Second brother!”
A clear voice sounded, as if a magical power broke the current deadlock.
Wen Chenxi's whole body tensed up. He turned around in disbelief and saw a bright and beautiful girl standing under the sycamore tree outside the house.
"Xiao Xi?"
"It's me. Why are you looking at me like that? I'm home."
Wen Xi blinked and waved hello to everyone.
The next moment, Wen Chenxi pushed Ma Yingbei away and appeared in front of Wen Xi like lightning. He hugged her in his arms and couldn't help shaking all over.
"Xiao Xi, I thought you were mad at me, so you went back to the underworld and would never come to see me again. I was so worried. I've been looking for the entrance to the Ghost Gate lately, but I can't find it."
Wen Chenxi closed his eyes and felt Wen Xi gently patting his back, and his tense body finally relaxed.
"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not angry with you."
Wen Xi comforted him and pushed him away slightly. Seeing his aggrieved expression like an abandoned puppy, he sighed helplessly.
"It was you who said the harsh words, and now you're the one who's feeling wronged!"
"I don't know. I just... said those stupid things."
Wen Chenxi's eyes were blank for a moment.
Wen Xi tilted her head and glanced at him, then asked, "Have you met Cheng Yan?"
"Yes, I have been there."
Wen Chenxi's eyes dimmed. "I also met my mother. She taught me a lesson. That weak soul was about to drift away with the wind. To be honest, I almost gave up everything I had and helped Cheng Yan devour souls to repair my mother's soul body."
"It was almost there, that's why I didn't do it. It's still not too late."
Wen Xi smiled at him soothingly, her whole body glowing brightly.
