Seeing that Murong Xue was feeling better, Pi Sheng let go of her. But as soon as Murong Xue lowered her head to wipe away her tears, she realized that she was by the window with the ground six stories below her. Startled, she quickly got up and got off the windowsill.
Pi Sheng jumped down lightly, and was about to ask who Murong Xue was when he saw Murong Xue, who seemed to have seen something, burst into tears and threw herself at him, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and her arms tightly around his neck.
Pi Sheng almost lost his footing before he could react. He quickly steadied himself and turned around to see a woman who had appeared at the door. Her skin was turning from white to black, which was enough to show that the vengeful spirit's resentment was very strong and was gradually forming a real physical form.
Pi Sheng glanced at it disdainfully. It was only useful for dealing with Chi Wei's group of children. As an adult Pixiu, it was just that it had concealed its aura. Otherwise, the vengeful spirit would have scattered and fled long ago.
As soon as he entered, Bai Hao informed him that he could not dispel the spirit for the time being, as he was still missing one soul to find. Although he did not know what Bai Hao was doing, as a longtime friend, he would not interrupt him.
Pi Sheng felt that Murong Xue, who was clinging to him like an octopus, was more troublesome than the unimportant vengeful spirit.
If it were a man, he would have grabbed her by the neck and thrown her out long ago. But Murong Xue looked to be only about twenty years old, and in his eyes she was just a young girl. As a man, he couldn't be violent towards a girl; it was a matter of principle.
However, the strength that Murong Xue was now exerting out of her survival instincts was so great that even Pi Sheng, a divine beast, felt his neck being strangled.
Pi Sheng: "Could you be a little gentler? He's just a kid, don't be afraid!"
Murong Xue buried her face in Pi Sheng's neck with her eyes closed, sobbing and shaking her head. She was truly terrified. The scene in the classroom was like a post-apocalyptic zombie movie, so desperate it was maddening.
However, feeling the warmth emanating from Pi Sheng's body, she felt slightly relieved and loosened her grip on his arm, but still refused to let go.
Pi Sheng took a breath and helplessly supported Murong Xue with his arm, so that if she lost strength in her legs and her hands were still hanging on his neck, it would be even heavier!
Bai Hao: [Bring that female vengeful spirit here; the last vestige of her soul should be inside her.]
Pi Sheng was taken aback: "She's almost completely turned to the dark side, are you sure you can still get anything out of her?"
Bai Hao: [With you around, things are so much easier.]
Pi Sheng: [When did I agree to be your laborer?]
Bai Hao: [Since we're already here, what's a little trouble?]
Pi Sheng: [Haven't seen you in years, your skin has gotten even thicker?]
Bai Hao: [You flatter me.]
Pi Sheng was currently holding Murong Xue, dodging the attacks of the female vengeful spirit. Finally, Bai Hao said he could make a move. Pi Sheng grinned wickedly, raised his hand to restrain the woman, and released his divine power to shatter the woman's corrupted form. The woman let out a painful whimper and then shattered into thick black resentment.
Pi Sheng made a hand seal, and divine power enveloped the entire floor. The resentment scattered but could not escape, slowly turning gray within the range of divine power, and finally fading into white.
This process lasted for a long time. Murong Xue peeked into the room and saw many white, humanoid, transparent figures floating motionless in place.
Murong Xue's emotions had calmed down a lot, and she also realized that what she was holding was probably a divine beast, but she didn't know what kind it was, although it looked quite powerful!
After all the souls were purified, Pi Sheng's face turned a little pale. He hadn't expected that this thing had killed so many people. Fortunately, his cultivation was solid, otherwise it would have been really troublesome if it had collapsed halfway through.
Bai Hao: [After all these years, your strength has diminished.]
Pi Sheng: [Come and try it yourself if you dare!]
Bai Hao: [Third floor, come down.]
Pi Sheng: [Why didn't you even help this girl up from the third floor?]
Bai Hao: [Weren't you here?]
Pi Sheng: [...The Bai Ze species is indeed annoying!]
Bai Hao activated the formation downstairs, and the souls upstairs slowly floated downstairs. Pi Sheng also led Murong Xue downstairs.
Murong Xue was already feeling embarrassed, but looking at so many different kinds of souls, she still felt a chill run down her spine and shamelessly refused to get off Pi Sheng.
Since they wore many clothes in winter, Pi Sheng didn't mind Murong Xue wearing them. When the two reached the third floor, five little cubs were standing by their side, and three unconscious ones were lying on the ground.
Besides that, there were countless wandering souls. Bai Hao was standing by the formation, holding a special glass bottle-like container, filtering out the remaining souls.
Pi Yuan greeted Pi Sheng happily, "Second Brother!"
Chi Wei ran over enthusiastically: "Brother Sheng! It's been so long! What happened to Sister Murong?"
Pi Sheng raised his hand and rubbed Chi Wei's head, glanced at Murong Xue on his body, and said with a mischievous smile, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, he's fallen asleep."
Murong Xue, who was struggling with shame and confusion, was stunned by what she heard. Getting down was one thing, not getting down was another. If she got down properly, wouldn't that mean she was terrified? But if she didn't get down, she hadn't realized how scared she was before, and now she was clinging to a strange man...
Wait a minute! Did Pi Yuan just call him Second Brother? Is this guy also a Pixiu? The kind that brings wealth? Murong Xue remembered how Tao Xiaolu had tried so hard to hug Pi Yuan before, so now that she had hugged him for so long, wasn't she taking advantage of the situation?
Thinking about it this way, Pi Sheng was no longer a person in Murong Xue's eyes, but a god of wealth, so she continued to hang on to him with peace of mind.
Pi Sheng, of course, had no idea what Murong Xue was thinking. He only assumed that she was afraid of being laughed at, so she continued to linger.
Xuan Yu and Teng Xue also greeted him politely, because they were not very familiar with Pi Sheng before, having only met him a few times, unlike Chi Wei, who was friendly with everyone, young and old.
As for Tao Xiaolu, he cowered behind Pi Yuan, trembling with fear. Pi Sheng was the Pi Xiu he feared the most, without exception, and also the one who beat him the hardest.
Because Pi Yuan is Pi Sheng's most beloved younger brother, after all, it's not easy to find a quiet, well-behaved, and lovable person among a family full of hot-tempered people, so naturally he has to be spoiled.
Pi Shengchong nodded to Tengxue and Xuanyu, then glanced at Tao Xiaolu but ignored him.
Only after Pi Sheng's gaze left did Tao Xiaolu silently let out a long sigh of relief, while Pi Yuan, standing to the side, chuckled.
However, this time he didn't break free from Tao Xiaolu's grip on his hand. He had seen Tao Xiaolu get beaten up by Pi Sheng before, and the scene was indeed terrible. He also knew that Tao Xiaolu's father often got into fights with his own father.
Bai Hao's screening will take some time. Thanks to Pi Sheng's purification, there's not much dirt left in the building. A few kids, having nothing better to do, took the three people out of the building and escorted them to the people who had been waiting by the lake. The group of people cautiously led the three away, and called the police on their way out.
Pi Sheng, who was standing aside idly waiting for Bai Hao, suddenly felt his arm getting heavier and heavier. He unconsciously increased the force, and then felt his shoulder sink as Murong Xue's head tilted down.
She actually fell asleep! Pi Sheng was speechless.
Bai Hao smiled as he looked at the two of them. Both of them thought they had gained something, but he wondered who had actually lost out.
