Jin Kun waved his hand and put away the sealing golden cage, saying to Mu Run, "He sacrificed one of his souls to save your son."
Mu Run was taken aback, but she was more worried about Zhuang Zhuang. "Won't my son be harmed by his spirit?"
Jin Kun said, "He carries the sins of millions of souls, so this one soul and one spirit will inevitably affect your son. But what kind of effect it will be, we will only know later."
Fu Yunchen asked, "Does his soul and spirit possess any consciousness?"
Jin Kun looked at him, paused, and said, "There will be some fragments of memory, but it won't affect your son's true nature."
Fu Yunchen bowed to Jin Kun, "Thank you, Mountain God."
Jin Kun's thin lips suddenly revealed a deep and unfathomable smile to him, then he turned to look at Cha Bao.
Cha Bao said to Mu Run, "I still have some things to do with the Chongyang Mountain God, I'll come find you to play later."
“Okay, remember to look me up,” Mu Run replied.
With a gentle wag of its tail, Cha Bao transformed back into a kitten, flew towards Jin Kun, and finally perched on his shoulder. "Four-six split."
"Sanqi." Jin Kun took a step forward and reached the edge of the poisonous miasma.
One more step, and it vanished.
Mu Run held Zhuangzhuang in her arms, looking in the direction where Cha Bao and Jin Kun had disappeared. "They seem to have a pretty good relationship."
Fu Yunchen said, "Let's go back."
Mu Run nodded. "Hmm, what will happen to Zhuangzhuang in the future?"
"No matter what, he's still our son." Fu Yunchen took Zhuangzhuang from her arms, his heart filled with guilt. It turned out that Zhuangzhuang had always been his Zhuangzhuang; Wei Chengzhang had never truly devoured him.
"What about Wei Chengzhang..." Mu Run thought of the dark soul that had been taken away by the sealed golden cage, "What will happen to him?"
"Disappear."
"What about the soul and spirit he left in Zhuangzhuang's body?"
"It's just a remnant soul; it won't affect his true nature."
"Alas! In the end, a part of it was merged. If he doesn't give it up, then Zhuangzhuang will have his soul and spirit stripped away."
...
Fu Yunchen found the Ephemeral Spring Grass, gave it to Mu Run and Zhuang Zhuang to hold in their mouths, and led them away from Death Valley.
Outside the valley, Qiao Dongzi waited anxiously.
It was already dark, and several torches were lit around the area, illuminating the world.
Yang Yang, wearing a cloak, leaned against a tree and continued to doze off. However, he was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest noise.
Suddenly, footsteps came from within the poisonous miasma.
Yang Yang opened his eyes.
Qiao Dongzi immediately recognized the footsteps as belonging to someone else, "The boss is back."
However, unlike usual, the footsteps were heavier.
They soon realized why the footsteps were heavy: Fu Yunchen was carrying Mu Run.
Mu Run was also holding a smaller one in her arms.
Qiao Dongzi slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Great! Boss is awesome!"
Mu Run, who was lightly asleep in Fu Yunchen's arms, woke up immediately upon hearing Qiao Dongzi's voice.
"Put me down," she whispered to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen put her down, but took Zhuangzhuang from her arms and let him rest on his shoulder. "Let's go to the mountain stronghold to rest for the night. We'll get there quickly on horseback."
“Okay,” Mu Run replied.
"..." Qiao Dongzi, who had been completely ignored, felt that he should just disappear with his men.
...
Bianyun Village, Chongyi Peak.
Qiao Dongzi rode back first and ordered people to tidy up the room and prepare hot water, midnight snacks, etc., to welcome Fu Yunchen and the others back.
As the moon rose high in the sky, Mu Run carried Zhuang Zhuang, who was still unconscious, back to the long-missed Chongyi Hall.
