"We'll know once we go in and take a look," Fu Yunchen said.
Looking at his appearance, Mu Run said, "You should rest for a while."
Fu Yunchen: "No need."
They walked towards the poisonous miasma.
Mu Run stopped him again, "Wait. Without the Epiphyllum oxypetalum that can cure the poisonous miasma, you will be poisoned."
Fu Yunchen said, "As long as I don't suffer any external injuries, the poisonous miasma can't harm me."
Mu Run said, "Then... you go first and find the Ephemeral Spring Grass, then bring it out, and we'll go in together."
Her body lacks resistance to toxins and requires the Epiphyllum oxypetalum to enter. This Epiphyllum oxypetalum is easily found once inside the poisonous miasma. Furthermore, it grows in large patches in areas with denser poisonous miasma.
"I'll go in and take a look first," Fu Yunchen said, and started to walk away.
Suddenly, Mu Run hugged his waist.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Dongzi and the others immediately turned around or turned their faces away to avoid eye contact.
Fu Yunchen's body stiffened, and his voice became even lower, "What's wrong?"
Mu Run smelled the dust on him and said, "You...you've worked hard."
Fu Yunchen smiled and said, "He is my son, of course I have to save him."
"Okay!" Mu Run tightened her arms again before reaching out to smooth some of his hair. "Let's find Tan Chuncao first."
"Okay," Fu Yunchen replied.
Mu Run watched his figure gradually disappear into the poisonous miasma.
Half an hour passed, then another hour passed. Just as Mu Run had expected, Fu Yunchen did not bring Tan Chuncao out first, but instead entered Death Valley alone.
...
Cha Bao sensed someone approaching from within the poisonous miasma, gently swayed its tail, and transformed into its true form.
When Fu Yunchen emerged from the poisonous miasma and saw Cha Bao, he was first taken aback, then said, "So it was you."
Cha Bao wagged its tail again, transforming back into a little white cat. "How about Run Run? Is she alright?"
"That's good." Fu Yunchen's gaze then turned to Zhuangzhuang, who was not far away.
At this moment, 'Zhuangzhuang' had already hidden himself, and the real Zhuangzhuang was brought out to face everything outside.
Zhuangzhuang didn't know what had happened or how she got here. She just looked at Fu Yunchen timidly and called out, "Father."
"Oh my? It's you. Where is that guy?" Cha Bao circled around the anxious Zhuang Zhuang.
Fu Yunchen listened to his words, his mind racing, "What do you mean?"
Tea Master said, “An evil soul has possessed your son’s body. However, his soul is too evil to touch a pure soul. So, this child now has two souls, one is your son’s, and the other is that evil soul’s.”
Fu Yunchen was completely stunned, as if several years had passed. All of Zhuangzhuang's memories of growing up from birth to the present flashed through his mind. He said softly, "You mean, my son's soul has always been there."
Cha Bao lightly jumped onto Zhuang Zhuang's shoulder. Seeing that he was afraid of her, she even scratched his hair with her little paws to continue scaring him. "Yes, the one outside now is the timid soul you see. He is your son. The other one is hiding."
"The other is the Corpse King. Millions of living souls have died at his hands."
"What?!" Cha Bao exclaimed in shock, "Over...a million!"
"Yes." Fu Yunchen walked up to Zhuangzhuang, slowly squatted down, and asked Chabao, "Is he really my son?"
“Yes.” Cha Bao narrowed her big cat eyes, staring at Zhuang Zhuang as if she could see something else through it, with a strange undercurrent in the depths of her eyes.
