Cong Lang?

Are you calling Xuanzhi?

Zong Li frowned. Why did you call him like that? Xuan Zhi is my wife now! He was very confused and didn't know who this person was. He could only look at Li Rushi with a pair of tearful eyes.

Li Rushi felt guilty when he looked at her. She thought she had nothing wrong with Bai Tan, so she told him not to call him Cong Lang anymore. But Bai Tan insisted on calling her that, and Li Rushi couldn't stop her from talking. She felt a little sorry for Zong Li. Ah, why was Zong Li looking at her with such a puppy-like look again? It was really unfair.

Li Rushi coughed, and before he could say anything, Zong Li interrupted him, "I understand. She is your lover here, right? That doesn't matter. Since you are married to me, you should break up with her. I will watch you here today, and you must break up with her!"

The demon world believes in the law of the jungle, and a couple with one weak and one strong cannot go far. Because the higher the cultivation level, the more people want to come and cling to them. If one's strength is not strong enough, sooner or later one will lose his partner. Zong Li is very concerned about this matter. Their clan will only have one partner in a lifetime. If his wife is gone, who will he go to? So he not only has to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, but also has to hide Xuanzhi tightly, so that others can't covet him.

Xuanzhi is his treasure, and he will never let the pearl be given away to others.

Li Rushi blushed. Zong Li seemed a little too serious. What was going on? There was nothing going on between her and Bai Tan. Zong Li really had a misunderstanding.

The little flower demon in front of him was aggressive, and Bai Tan in the lake was ready to make a move. Now was not a good time to talk, it was more important to catch Bai Tan out of the copy. Therefore, Li Rushi did not explain, but just took Zong Li behind him and turned to deal with the evil ghost in the lake.

With her red sleeves flying, Qie Man Xing was unsheathed in an instant. Li Rushi stepped on the cloud bridge made of spiritual power and soared over the lake. She held the sword in her right hand, and the tip of the sword moved slightly, leaving a transparent trace in the water. Qie Man Xing had the consciousness of the sword spirit, and understood the master's thoughts, so she took the initiative to use her own spiritual fire as a backup. Under the sword energy, the big ghost had nowhere to hide. Just now, Li Rushi was just investigating for a while, which was only a cup of tea. But now it was different. It was clear that it was going to waste time here. Bai Tan had no choice but to jump out of the water. Qie Man Xing had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Bai Tan came ashore, he was burned through by Qie Man Xing's spiritual fire. The sharp cry of the big ghost almost resounded throughout the lake.

Spiritual fire is harmful to ghost bodies, especially the magical weapons that are born from nature. The effect is really not to be underestimated. If Li Rushi didn't see that Bai Tan would be naked if the burning continued, she would not let her go.

Bai Tan's face turned pale from the pain, his lips trembled unconsciously, and he said, "Li Cong, you have such a cruel heart. It's ok to pretend to be a woman to deceive me, but I treated you with good intentions, why did you treat me like this???"

Good intentions? Li Rushi was almost laughing out of anger. What is good intentions? At first, he was trying to exploit the yang energy in her body, then he schemed to tamper with her memory, and then he secretly replaced the bride on the wedding day. All these things, one by one, how can there be any good intentions?

Zong Li had heard of this person before. His name should be Bai Tan. He had a three-foot white silk covering his eyes. Oh, it must be the blind female ghost. How dare she say that about Xuan Zhi? It was obviously her regret at the wedding that caused Xuan Zhi to fall into the underground palace. If it weren't for the fate that he and Xuan Zhi were destined to be together, Xuan Zhi's current situation would not be optimistic. What else can she say now? How can she still act like a victim and blame others? She really thinks Xuan Zhi is easy to bully, right?

"Madam, is this your suitor? The one who pestered you to marry her and asked her sister to tamper with your memory?"

Li Rushi looked at Zong Li, not knowing what he was going to do, but what he said was indeed correct, so she nodded. Receiving Li Rushi's affirmation, Zong Li was obviously more arrogant, with his chin raised and his arms crossed, looking at Bai Tan: "You said that you treat her wholeheartedly, but in my opinion, my wife treats you wholeheartedly, never framed you behind your back and tried her best to fulfill her promise. She has never done anything to let you down, and you know what you have done, right?"

Bai Tan couldn't argue with him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know? Li Cong and I..."

Zong Li took advantage of her inability to see, and wanted to be intimate with Li Rushi, so he deliberately took Li Rushi's hand and shook it: "It is also thanks to you that my wife and I got married and came out of the underground palace. I think it won't be difficult to get out of this copy." Zong Li paused: "And you, take your maids and stay here. I heard that your sister is almost exhausted. I don't know how long she can hold on."

Bai Tan's expression changed immediately. What Zong Li said was exactly what she needed to solve urgently. Li Cong had promised him to help his sister with her treatment, but now... Bai Tan suddenly frowned, and turned to Zong Li and asked, "Why do you smell like my sister? You... my sister's ghost pill is in your hand, right?!!!!"

Li Rushi and Zong Li looked at each other. They knew that this ghost pill was special, but they didn't expect that it was actually Bai Zhi's ghost pill. Logically speaking, this thing should really belong to someone else, but now Zong Li accidentally swallowed it, and now he can't spit it out, and there is no way to return it.

Bai Tan accepted Zong Li's silence and became excited. That was her sister's ghost pill. If the ghost pill could return to her sister's body, maybe her sister could still be saved. Seeing that the solution was right in front of her, she had to get her sister's ghost pill back.

But she couldn't move. The spiritual fire on the sword was too strong. It burned her whole body with burning pain. Bai Tan shed two lines of tears. Zong Li was speechless for a while. Li Rushi looked at the frozen situation and tried to negotiate: "Bai Tan, neither you nor I fulfilled our promises, so we are even. But now my husband accidentally swallowed your sister's ghost pill and can't return it. I owe you a favor for this. How about this, you just tell me how to get out of the copy, and I will find a way to save your sister, how about it?"

Bai Tan's body was shaky, like the swaying water plants by the lake. She shook her head: "It's too late. What can you do? My sister is only breathing her last breath. Without the ghost pill, we can't break the curse. I'm afraid even the gods can't save her."

Li Rushi was speechless for a moment, but Zong Li rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

"What if your sister doesn't want to be a ghost but a monster?"

Bai Tan was bewildered: "What do you mean by a monster? What monster?"

Zong Li thought for a moment and said, "Become a flower demon. A very powerful one. If she practices quickly, it will only take a few hundred years for her to transform. She will look pretty good in human form. Our clan is quite powerful. If your sister practices meditation well, she will be much more powerful in the future than a ghost."

Li Rushi pulled at the corner of his clothes and said, "There is a Buddha seal on Baizhi's body, which is difficult to remove. Are you planning to let me help her break the seal, and take out her soul and put it on your flower branch the moment the seal is broken, so that she can live as a demon, right?"

Zong Li shook his head, his tone becoming more serious than ever before: "Her sister's condition sounds very bad, so this method is not suitable for her. I don't think she will last long enough to transform into a seal."

"So what I'm thinking is that the big ghost will transfer the magic power, and you and I will directly extract her soul and put it on a new flower seed. Whether she lives or dies depends on God's will. The Buddhist seal only targets evil cultivators who have innocent lives on their hands. If her sister changes her body, she will start over. Her hands are clean, so what can the Buddhist seal do? On the contrary, this will be her opportunity. Before she grows up, the Buddhist seal can also protect her life. What do you think of my idea?"

Li Rushi carefully considered the feasibility of this plan, and then had to admit that Zongli's title of demon king was not for nothing, and he did have some skills. Although this method was risky, if it succeeded, Bai Zhi would really be reborn. Although it might take her many years to cultivate into a human form, it didn't matter. Bai Tan was by her side, and Foyin would protect her, which was better than the current situation.

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up as she listened. Before Li Rushi nodded, she immediately agreed, "That's fine. That will definitely work. I promise you. Can you start now?"

She took out a jade-like bone from the brocade bag at her waist, and with her ghost power, the bone turned into a human form. It was the Bai Zhi that Li Rushi had seen that day. Li Rushi stared at the bone for a while. No wonder she had never found the bodies of these female ghosts. It turned out that someone had burned them and made them into necklaces to wear all over their bodies. It was unknown whether someone else had burned the bodies or they had done it themselves.

"My ghost power is not as strong as my sister's. I have used up a lot of it for my sister these days. Now I can't summon the lamp girl. If I need a big ghost, this may..."

Li Rushi thought about it and decided that if there were not enough big ghosts, could monsters with ghost pills be used as well?

She asked Zong Li to draw out the ghost pill from the spirit house and try to use the power of the ghost pill to transfer power to Bai Zhi. Zong Li's demon power was not gentle, and he was very ferocious in a fight, but how could he disobey his wife's order? He controlled his strength and used the power of the ghost pill to heal Bai Zhi's wounds, and Bai Tan also joined in. To appease her sister's soul, on the other side, Li Rushi knew that time was running out, so she put away the slow walk and replaced it with the slightly gentler Zhan Yue. With a flick of the sword, she cut from Bai Zhi's eyebrows to the soles of her feet, and then used two parts of spiritual power. There was almost no obstacle, and Bai Zhi's soul was taken out like tofu. The next part was the highlight. Zong Li took out a basin from somewhere, and there was a seed in the basin. He asked Li Rushi to throw Bai Zhi into the basin. Li Rushi was skeptical, but adhering to the idea of ​​not doubting her newlywed husband, she threw the soul over anyway. Zong Li seized the opportunity, and when the soul was restless, he stretched out his branches to wrap the flowerpot and gently soothed it with his magic power.

Zong Li even called her for help: "Madam, please help me, use your spiritual power to soothe it. Your spiritual power is pure, she will like it."

He spoke quite easily, but Li Rushi inexplicably had a feeling of being a mother. Why did Zong Li speak so strangely? It always made people feel itchy and want to pinch his little flower branch.

Bai Tan asked from the side: "How is it now? Is my sister...alive?"

Zong Li took a look and had to say that Li Rushi had an extremely accurate grasp of the timing. This little flower was lucky enough to have survived, and under the catalysis of spiritual power, it had begun to grow new buds crazily.

"The Jiaogu Peony is very tenacious. Just take care of it and wait for the day when it blooms. Then you can see your sister."
