Chen Xiaoli wanted to examine Xiaobao carefully, but she couldn't touch him. She only found that his soul was even weaker. She felt anxious. "Xiaobao, you have to run now. I don't know if that little master can deal with that Taoist priest."
Chen Xiaoli admitted that she was being selfish at that moment; all she wanted was to protect her child.
Xiao Bao shook his head and looked at Hua Xiangyun with concern, "That sister helped me, I can't just leave like this."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What help can you be if you stay here?" Chen Xiaoli couldn't touch the child, otherwise she really wanted to pick him up and run away.
As for that little master, she couldn't care less about that.
Hua Xiangyun was unaware of this scene and wouldn't care. She discovered that Hong Zhengmen was connected to many karmic threads, and that the souls of some children were probably caused by him.
She showed no mercy to such people; every swing of her dagger carried a murderous aura. Even if Hong Zhengmen wielded a longsword, he could not harm her in the slightest.
However, she had only been in this world for a short time and her cultivation was limited. Even though the spiritual energy transformed by the Nine Lotus Cauldron helped her, she was still a little lacking when facing an old hand like Hong Zhengmen.
Moreover, Hong Zhengmen has many ghostly creatures around him. When he realized he couldn't win in terms of physical strength, he started to resort to underhanded tricks, releasing his spirits from time to time to interfere.
Hua Xiangyun had to be distracted during the battle, which gradually put her at a disadvantage.
"If you obediently accept your death, I might be able to give you a quick death," Hong Zhengmen's patience was gradually running out, and his moves became even more ruthless, each one potentially fatal.
Hua Xiangyun withdrew the dagger from her hand and turned around to unleash the Soul-Driving Whip.
These are still the spoils of victory over Old Ghost Rong. After a few months of familiarization, they're ready to be used in a battle.
Having no other choice before, he had also been planning to use Hong Zhengmen as a practice target.
As soon as Hong Zhengmen took out the Soul-Driving Whip from his storage ring, his eyes lit up. He had thought it was just a junior from the Xuanmen sect, but it seemed to be a fat sheep.
He only used a storage bag, while the other party actually had a storage device.
Moreover, she was throwing out those talismans like they were free, which blocked a lot of interference.
I don't know which sect's prodigal descendant he is, but he's struck it rich today.
This girl is single and all alone. As long as he does things cleanly, who would know it was him who did it...?
It's a pity that we can't refine her, and we can't even keep her soul.
Hua Xiangyun never expected the other party to be so despicable; despite being a Xuan Master, they were carrying firearms.
Seeing the two holes that had appeared where she had just been standing, Hua Xiangyun was furious.
He took out the array plate he had just crafted and, after a quick flip, tossed it at the opponent.
Hong Zhengmen thought it was the other party's magic weapon and tried to dodge it, but unexpectedly, the scene changed instantly.
He immediately realized that what the other party had just thrown out was an array plate, and he was now inside the array. He cursed, "What a waste of money."
They were extremely envious, knowing that they had to go through countless hardships to get even a magic weapon, while the other party had done so with such generosity in just a few breaths of their battle.
However, formations are truly his weakness. Now, he no longer thinks about profiting from them, but rather how to get out of here.
Chen Xiaoli didn't understand the intricacies of the situation; she only noticed that the previously arrogant Taoist priest had suddenly disappeared.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but nervously stood in front of Xiao Bao, saying, "Young master, thank you for your help today, but my Xiao Bao has never harmed anyone. Please don't take him away."
She was tense all over, afraid that if she drove away one Taoist priest, another powerful enemy would come.
"Do you know that forcing him to stay by your side is actually harming him?" Hua Xiangyun kept an eye on the movements inside the formation. Seeing the other party running around inside, she felt more at ease, finally having found the other party's weakness.
“But I only have one son, and he is very filial. I can’t bear to part with him…” Chen Xiaoli stood firmly in front of him, knowing all too well what was going on.
Over the years, her health has become weaker and weaker. She catches colds frequently and her whole body gradually feels powerless.
But so what? Xiao Bao is already gone. The sooner I ruin my body, the sooner I can reunite with Xiao Bao.
She did not want to commit suicide, but she was also cowardly and afraid, so she could only deal with it passively.
Hua Xiangyun said, "If he hadn't lingered in the human world, he might have already been in line to be reincarnated. But because of his delay, his luck has been eliminated, and even if he is reincarnated, the conditions will not be as good as they were at the beginning. Do you still think that's a good thing?"
Besides, you know your own health condition; if things continue like this, your lifespan will be drastically shortened.
Hua Xiangyun tried her best to put her words in simpler terms, hoping that the mother and son would listen to her advice.
Chen Xiaoli covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She didn't realize that her selfishness had harmed her child.
“Sister,” Xiao Bao peeked out from behind Chen Xiaoli, “It’s not my mother’s fault. I didn’t want to leave. My mother has no one else but me.”
Besides, I'm a very well-behaved person. I don't usually run around. If it's not good for me to be near my mom, I'll definitely stay far away from her in the future.
Chen Xiaoli also came to her senses. She understood the reasoning, but she was reluctant to let go.
She was selfish, but all she wanted was for this mother-son bond to last a little longer, a little longer...
Seeing that the child still looked confused, Hua Xiangyun finally sighed and said, "Your bond as mother and son is over in this life, so why force it?"
"It would be better if you embarked on the road to the underworld sooner, seeking the forgiveness of the underworld officials, so that you could have some time to recover, and perhaps after your mother's passing, you could see if you could rekindle this bond between mother and son."
Hua Xiangyun was deeply moved by the bond between the mother and son, but she still wanted to offer some words of advice.
"As you all saw today, if I hadn't been curious and followed along, your little one might have already been taken away by someone else."
Forget about reincarnation; you'll only become a sword in someone else's hand, stained with sins. What future will you have then?
Chen Xiaoli's eyes hardened, and she knelt directly in front of Hua Xiangyun. "Master, I know I was wrong. I don't want Xiaobaozi to face the danger he did today, but I'm just an ignorant woman and I can't help him anymore."
"Please, Master, have mercy and show my son and me the right path."
After saying that, Chen Xiaoli ran back into the room. When she came out again, she was only holding a handkerchief in her hand. She shook the handkerchief open, and some loose coins fell to the ground.
She held all the coins in her hands and presented them to Hua Xiangyun, saying, "This is all I have right now, but I can work, and I'll give them all to the master later."
Seeing that she was about to kneel down, Hua Xiangyun quickly stepped aside and said, "Sister-in-law, we don't do that. Since we've run into each other, I'll help you if I can."
"It's not the right time yet. I've only just restrained them. We'll talk in detail after we've dealt with everything."
Chen Xiaoli looked surprised; the Taoist priest had disappeared, and she had thought he had run away.
