Hua Xiangwan stayed in the secret room until it calmed down and finally got up.

She set up layers of magic array for Xie Changji, and only left after she had protected him.

Hua Xiangwan calmed down a little, asked a servant for directions, and hurried to where Shen Yichen lived.

He still lived in the same room as before. Hua Xiangwan kept the things in his room. When she entered, she saw him with his back to her, looking at the things in the room, seemingly a little confused.

She stood at the door, staring at the back. After a long while, she adjusted her mood, pretended to know nothing, and called out, "Yi Chen."

Shen Yichen heard the sound and turned around.

He seemed to have just washed up, wearing a wide navy blue robe, with his long hair loose, and a smile on his face that looked exactly like Xie Changji's. He said gently, "Ah Wan."

Hua Xiangwan looked at the smile of the person in front of her and felt a little blocked in her heart.

So similar.

It was so similar that she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was Shen Yichen or the Jade Blood God.

She didn't dare to look any further, and walked into the house with her head down, saying as she walked, "I'm sorry I scared you just now, how do you feel now?"

"No problem."

Shen Yichen shook his head, turned to look outside, and showed some worry: "Just now... was it Xie Changji?"

Hua Xiangwan responded and walked to the table. Shen Yichen thought for a moment and seemed a little worried: "What is the situation now?"

"What is that you are asking?"

Hua Xiangwan lowered her eyes and poured tea. Shen Yichen seemed a little disappointed. He sighed and said, "Ah Wan, I just asked. It's been two hundred years."

Hua Xiangwan paused, and Shen Yichen took the kettle from her hand and poured out the remaining half cup of tea for her: "How have you been living these two hundred years?"

As he spoke, Shen Yichen put down the kettle and looked up at the people in front of him: "Why did I come back to life? Why is Xie Changji in Hehuan Palace? Why does he want to kill me? And you..."

Shen Yichen looked at her with some tenderness in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said, "You look grown up."

Hua Xiangwan listened to his words and couldn't help but clench her fists silently.

She smiled, picked up the teacup, moved away from him, sat down beside him, and said with her head down: "After all, so many years have passed, I can't always be like a child. Thank you so much for that year." Hua Xiangwan raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of gratitude, "If you hadn't saved me with the mermaid pearl, I would have been killed by Yao Guang. I said I would celebrate your birthday, who knew that Yao Guang would come that day..."

Hua Xiangwan's voice became lower, as if she was lost.

After hearing this, Shen Yichen turned his head and looked out the window without saying a word.

Noticing his evasive attitude, Hua Xiangwan paused.

He saw it.

She was well aware that he saw that she was testing him.

Yao Guang did not come on Shen Yichen's birthday that year. If the person in front of him was really Shen Yichen, he would correct her.

If he wasn't, he naturally wouldn't know that she lied.

But he knew she was lying, and he didn't correct it, which meant that he knew about it, but he didn't hope that she really thought of him as Shen Yichen.

Such an attitude made Hua Xiangwan feel a little cold in her heart. She stared at the person in front of her and asked in confusion: "Yi Chen?"

"Um?"

Shen Yichen turned around when he heard that. Hua Xiangwan looked out the window curiously: "Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering," Shen Yichen smiled, "Since Young Master suspected me, why did he pretend not to notice me?"

Hua Xiangwan did not say anything immediately. She lowered her head and sipped her tea, suppressing her slightly accelerated heartbeat, pretending to be calm: "Since you are back, with your ability, why are you joking with me here again?"

This made the other person laugh. He leaned back in the chair beside him and said in an unusually gentle tone, "Because I like to see Ah Wan protecting me."

Hua Xiangwan's eyes turned cold. She raised her eyes and looked at the other person. On that face that looked exactly like Xie Changji's, there was a smile that Xie Changji would never have. Her usually handsome and upright face actually had a bit of evil in it.

"I felt sorry for Xie Changji when he was hit by that palm just now."

As he spoke, he stood up, leaned over to Hua Xiangwan, and stared into her eyes: "In your heart, Shen Yichen is more important after all, right?"

"You are wrong," Hua Xiangwan said with a smile, "I struck Xie Changji with that palm."

The other party didn't understand and tilted his head. Hua Xiangwan softened her tone, sounding especially gentle: "I'm afraid he will fall into evil and kill people, and be remembered by the Heavenly Dao. I took the Jade Sea Pearl away a long time ago. No one in this world is more important than him, whether it's you or Shen Yichen."

The other party didn't say anything. He kept smiling, but his whole body suddenly turned cold.

After a while, the young man stood up and smiled softly: "What a sad thing to say. How did you find me?"

"You just destroyed a body in the Demon Palace, and Shen Yichen came back to life. It would be hard not to notice."

Seeing the other party admit it, Hua Xiangwan lost her temper and said calmly: "What's more, Yi Chen's soul is still here with me. I didn't do anything, how could I survive?"

"Is that so?"

The young man stepped back and sighed, "What a bad idea."

"What do you want to do?"

Hua Xiangwan lost interest in playing around with him and said coldly, "Since you have the ability to come back, why don't you just find Xie Changji and put the Ghost Spirit on him?"

"Well," the Jade Blood God raised his hand and gently played with his hair, saying nonchalantly, "That's indeed my plan. I'll go to the Underworld Palace to find him in a while."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan looked at him coldly: "And then?"

"But since you're here, I'll chat with you more."

The Jade Blood God smiled slightly, as if he was very generous: "Accompanying Ah Wan is the most important thing after all."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing, just stared at him.

The Jade Blood God leaned over to the chair beside him, with a graceful and charming posture, and asked, "Do you like to see me like this? Do you like this body or this face?"

"You're being nasty."

"Really?" The Jade Blood God was a little confused, "But these are your favorites."

As he said this, the Jade Blood God sighed and said, "Forget it, tell me something you like to hear. Don't you want me to find Xie Changji?"

"nature."

"Are you afraid that I will destroy this world of cultivation?"

"no."

This surprised the Jade Blood God. He looked up at Hua Xiangwan, puzzled: "Then why are you stopping me?"

"The ghost spirit in my body was hard to come by. I have a use for it, so I don't want to give it to Xie Changji."

Hua Xiangwan said calmly. The Jade Blood God was stunned. Hua Xiangwan looked up at him and said, "If you want Xie Changji to help you destroy the world, you must want my half of the ghost spirit, right?"

"Not bad." The Jade Blood God found it interesting. He looked at Hua Xiangwan and asked, "You are reluctant to give it to me?"

"You know what I'm going to do." Hua Xiangwan looked at the Blood God with a cold expression, "The people of the world have nothing to do with me. I only care about the Joyful Palace. If you want to destroy the world, why bother taking such a big detour? Just give me the Ghost Spirit," Hua Xiangwan laughed, "I will help you after I revive the people of the Joyful Palace. The Ghost Spirit's ability limit is the maximum potential that the human body can exert. In this world, Xie Changji is a genius, but there are more geniuses than him."

So does she.

An eighteen-year-old genius, a true genius that is unique in the world.

The Jade Blood God looked at her with a smile, as if he was thinking about what she said. Hua Xiangwan calmly lowered her head, drank a sip of tea, and looked calm.

The Jade Blood God thought for a while and said, "Do you want this half of my soul?"

"Yes." Hua Xiangwan admitted, "The reason why I want to kill you is largely because of this. But if you and I can cooperate and complement each other," Hua Xiangwan raised his eyes and stared into the eyes of the Blood God, "why both sides have to fight to the death?"

The Green Blood God said nothing. He tapped the table lightly and stared at Hua Xiangwan's face, as if he was thinking.

Hua Xiangwan confronted him. After a long silence, the Jade Blood God laughed and said, "That is a solution, but if I remember correctly, when you poisoned me, you also had the poison on you. The higher the level of this poison, the faster it takes effect and the more deadly it is. I gave you the Ghost Spirit. If you are poisoned, the Ghost Spirit will be very weak without the parasitic body. What if you are killed by these righteous monks?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Hua Xiangwan's heart tightened. She said coldly, "Since I poisoned you, I must have an antidote. The antidote is with Xue Zidan. I can take the antidote and make sure that Gui Ling is safe."

"That's fine." The Jade Blood God nodded, and then said, "But since it's a cooperation, the young master must be sincere, right?"

"What sincerity do you want?"

Hua Xiangwan spoke in a cold voice.

The Jade Blood God put away his smile and said solemnly: "Marry me."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned. The Jade Blood God stood up and came to her. He put his hands on both sides of the armrests, bent down slightly, and looked down at her empty neck with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

"You've slept with Xie Changji so many times, why not try it with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Xiangwan raised her hand and slapped the other person in the face. The Green Blood God grabbed her hand and at the same time blocked her lower abdomen, thus blocking the dagger that she was trying to attack with.

She moved too quickly, and the dagger had already stabbed into the abdomen of the Lord of Green Blood. Blood flowed down the dagger, but the man in front of her remained expressionless.

"For the last time." The powerful spiritual power attacked Hua Xiangwan head-on, knocking her away violently. Hua Xiangwan hit the wall hard, and the severe pain spread up her spine inch by inch. She lay on the ground gasping for breath, watching the man in front of her slowly pull out the dagger and throw it aside. The wound healed with his movements, leaving only fresh blood on her clothes. The Jade Blood God walked in front of her, half squatted down, looked down at her, pinched her chin, and forced her to look at him, "Be good."

Hua Xiangwan was speechless, and the Jade Blood God stared at her face.

"I'll give you three days. Either I go find Xie Changji, or we'll get married at your Demon Lord succession ceremony in three months. I'll give you a ghost spirit, and you'll be resurrected in Hehuan Palace, and everyone will celebrate."

As he spoke, the Jade Blood God let her go, pulled out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve, and said slowly, "Give me your answer in three days. Let's go."

Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. She gritted her teeth, got up, and walked out.

After she left the room, the Jade Blood God lowered his eyes and looked at the wound on his abdomen with a slightly cold look.

Hua Xiangwan crawled back to the room, where she sat down to meditate and regulate her breathing.

Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then the door was kicked open. Qin Yunshang asked anxiously, "Hua Xiangwan?"

“Alive.”

Hua Xiangwan swallowed the anger in his mouth and responded unhappily.

Qin Yunshang was followed by Xue Zidan. When they saw Hua Xiangwan, they both breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the house.

The soundproofing array in the room was automatically activated. Xue Zidan came up first to check Hua Xiangwan's pulse. Qin Yunshang sat next to her and asked anxiously, "I heard that Shen Yichen is alive?"

"It's not Shen Yichen," Hua Xiangwan said calmly, "it's the Demon Lord."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yunshang and Xue Zidan's faces changed drastically.

Qin Yunshang held back her words before cursing out loud: "Who on earth is he? He took Shen Yichen away? What about Shen Yichen's soul? What does he want to do?"

"You have too many questions," Hua Xiangwan closed her eyes, "Which one should I answer?"

"What does he want to do?"

"He asked me to choose. Either he goes to find Xie Changji and puts the black spirit in Xie Changji's body. Xie Changji is currently possessed by a demon. Once the black spirit enters his body, with his qualifications, it will be easy for the black spirit to destroy a whole cultivation world."

"Or what?"

Qin Yunshang was puzzled. Hua Xiangwan slowly closed his eyes, seeming a little tired: "Let me marry him. Three months later, when the Demon Lord takes over the throne, we will hold a wedding. He will give me his ghost spirit, and I will revive everyone in Hehuan Palace and help him destroy the world."

Hearing this, Xue Zidan looked over and was a little shocked: "Even he likes you?! You have a very useful face."

"Shut up." Hua Xiangwan glared at him. "Didn't you understand? He has no interest in me at all."

"So...what does he want to do?"

"Xie Changji is not completely possessed by the devil yet. He is under our control and still has some room to fight back." Hua Xiangwan analyzed calmly, "He wants to marry me just to force Xie Changji to collapse completely."

"Then you..." Xue Zidan hesitated, "What are your plans?"

Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything, and Qin Yunshang also remained silent.

After a while, Hua Xiangwan said slowly, "Xue Zidan, prepare a fake antidote for me so that the toxins in my body will appear to be cleared away."

"Oh," Xue Zidan nodded, "That's not difficult."

"The rest," Hua Xiangwan thought, "is just to carry out the plan."

Hearing this, Xue Zidan lowered his eyes.

Qin Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "According to the plan, the Demon Lord should have died by now, but he is alive again. As long as he is here, the Dark Spirit cannot be destroyed."

"If I could kill him once, I can kill him a second time."

Hua Xiangwan spoke calmly, and Qin Yunshang frowned: "But he keeps changing bodies like this, why do you..."

“I just tried it.”

Hua Xiangwan turned to look at Qin Yunshang: "I attacked him, and he fought back."

"so what?"

"He didn't care about this before, because those bodies were just puppets and he didn't care. But in this body, he won't allow me to hurt him."

"You mean..." Qin Yunshang reacted quickly. Before she could say anything, Hua Xiangwan reminded her: "Soul-fixing Pill."

Xue Zidan turned around and suddenly realized: "Yes, you put the Soul-Fixing Pill in Shen Yichen's body!"

"I was not sure if the Soul-Fixing Pill would work on him, but now I am sure. This should be his last body. As long as I can stop him from rebirthing like this, I will be able to kill him."

Hua Xiangwan looked calm, which made both of them feel relieved. After a while, Xue Zidan suddenly realized something: "When you went to the Medicine Sect to ask for the Soul-Fixing Pill, you must have known..."

"I don't know." Hua Xiangwan lowered her eyes. "I just wanted to revive Yi Chen. His soul is in the Jade Sea Pearl. I thought I could use the Soul-Fixing Pill to keep his soul in his body."

"oh……"

"Of course," Hua Xiangwan chuckled, "I have had my suspicions before. The people who betrayed Hehuan Palace are too familiar with Hehuan Palace. So, the Soul-Fixing Pill kills two birds with one stone, just by the way."

If the traitor back then was Shen Yichen, when he returned to this body, this body would become a prison.

If it wasn't Shen Yichen, then it was also the result of her efforts to resurrect him.

It's just that these words are too cruel to say, and no one wants to continue.

The three of them were silent. After a while, Hua Xiangwan saw Xue Zidan still checking her pulse and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you taking my pulse for so long? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Zidan immediately jumped up, but he still held on to her tightly and said, "Don't flatter yourself. I just think your pulse is weird."

"What's wrong?"

Hua Xiangwan frowned. Xue Zidan changed his hand and examined her left and right for a while. He was a little uncertain, and finally said, "Forget it. It looks fine. We'll talk about it later."

"What happened?"

Hua Xiangwan was dissatisfied with this and only finished half of the talk. Xue Zidan scratched his head and said, "I have never seen this kind of pulse before. Let me look through the book again."

Xue Zidan withdrew his hand and was about to say something when he heard a voice from outside: "Young Master."

Lingnan hurried into the room. The three people in the room looked up, looked at Lingnan's anxious expression, and frowned.

"The people from the Tianji Sect are here," Lingnan said hurriedly, "They came in a hurry and called Elder Kun. Please come to Yunfu Tower to see him, young master."
