Bi Xie sighed inwardly. This beast was only strong because of its power. If it didn't have such terrifying strength, it would have been beaten to death sooner or later.
Outside the Demon Abyss, Bi Xie watched as the blue figure gradually disappeared from sight.
After gazing into the distance for a while, Bi Xie turned his gaze back, met Ji Gui's aggrieved look, and tugged at his hand, "Let's go home."
The man's gloomy and depressed mood was instantly brightened by a ray of sunshine. He grinned and wrapped his hand around hers. "Okay, let's go home."
They went home, to a home where it was just the two of them.
·
For the mortal world, decades may be a person's life, but for the cultivation world, decades are just a fleeting moment.
Bi Xie and Ji Gui spent more than a decade in a sweet world together, traveling through the mountains and rivers of the Floating Light Continent, visiting various capitals with different customs and cultures, occasionally punishing evil and promoting good, and occasionally indulging in the beauty of nature, living a carefree and happy life.
After that, Bi Xie went into seclusion several more times. Having successfully transformed her demonic energy, she achieved twice the results with half the effort in her cultivation and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 560.
But there was one person whose cultivation was even faster and more miraculous than hers.
The leader of the Hengyun Sect, Wuzhan Tianzun, broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at less than four hundred years old, which has long been a legend in the cultivation world.
After hundreds of years of updates and replacements, the current immortal sects on the Floating Light Continent are led by the Hengyun Sect, followed by the Jinguang Sect. After losing their Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the Qinghua Sect and Tianbi Sect have seen their disciples leave or scatter, and are now no different from some small immortal sects.
Bi Xie's legs dangled below the cliff, his upper body casually lying on the ground, his arms crossed behind his head. He spat out the green spirit grass in his mouth and asked, "Ru Hua, how many happiness points does Ji Gui have now?"
With an overwhelming sense of sorrow, Ru Hua finally uttered the number she had repeated countless times: "97 points."
This is infuriating! I just can't seem to raise my happiness level by the last 3 points, no matter what I do.
It's like... it's like it was intentional!
Ru Hua: "Host, what should we do? Last time you and the big boss were all lovey-dovey in the hot spring, and you tried so hard to please him, but the big boss's happiness level just wouldn't budge, not even by 0.1. Oh no, is this mission going to fail again?"
Bi Xie licked his lips: "Ru Hua, stop sighing. Your sighing is giving me a headache. What can I do? I'm desperate too!"
"The spirit on the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail inside my body has been relentlessly absorbing my spiritual power. Ji Gui can no longer suppress it and is searching for a new body for me. Even if it finds one, I will not possess it. I have already decided that when this spirit begins to occupy my sea of consciousness, I will commit suicide."
Ru Hua exclaimed excitedly, "Host, don't be impulsive! What will happen to your happiness points if you commit suicide? You won't be able to return to the castle if you don't complete the mission!"
Bi Xie pushed his legs back and sat up.
A gentle breeze ruffled her black hair by the cliff. Her flawless face remained expressionless as she took out a green spirit herb and chewed it slowly. She said calmly, "Ruhua, can you do me a favor? If you do me a favor, I promise I'll complete the task. How about it?"
Ru Hua paused warily for a few seconds and asked, "What kind of help? I'm just a tool, host, please don't make things difficult for me."
Bi Xie chuckled and summoned the Yin Refining Banner: "Little face, come out."
flowery:"……"
A pretty woman slowly emerged from the Yin Refining Banner, bowed gracefully to Bi Xie, and asked with longing in her eyes, "Master, have you found Xiao Bao for me?"
Bi Xie took in the woman's excited and joyful expression and said softly, "Not yet. I forgot to tell you last time, to find your son, we need a drop of your blood as a catalyst, but..."
The beauty's excited expression faded slightly, her brows furrowed, and she said with difficulty, "But I am now... in this form, and I no longer have a physical body."
Bi Xie: "It is precisely because you have no physical body that the blood droplet cannot be extracted, so I cannot perform the ritual to find your relatives for you right now."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's expression immediately became much more melancholy. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and said, "I have not been of any help to you, Master. Instead, I have only caused you trouble. Not only did your husband misunderstand you, but I also overheard false information in the underground demon palace, leading you to believe that your husband has favored another woman. If you cannot help me find my relatives, then let's call off our deal."
Bi Xie knew how much she longed to find her son; otherwise, she wouldn't have lingered in the mortal realm and become a vengeful ghost because of her deep obsession.
Spitting out the green spirit grass that had been chewed until it had no taste, Bi Xie said, "It's not entirely hopeless, so don't be discouraged."
After saying that, she began calling out to Ru Hua, "Little Ru Hua~"
Ru Hua pretended to be dead.
Bi Xie chuckled and continued calling her "little darling" a few more times. Ru Hua finally broke out of her feigned death and uttered a sound: "What? I think the host is addicted to teaching the villain to do good deeds. She wants to help with everything. This vengeful ghost has been a skeleton for decades. Where am I supposed to find blood drops for the host?"
Bi Xie chuckled, "Of course I know you can't do it. Just ask the Ghost Cultivator for me, he'll definitely have a way! My little darling, please make an exception, you're the cutest, your voice is the most beautiful~"
Ru Hua: "...Refuse"
“A gentleman wouldn’t concern himself with such trivial matters, you…” Before he could finish speaking, Bi Xie heard a crackling sound in his mind, like the sound of an old-fashioned radio that couldn’t get a channel.
Bi Xie's heart skipped a beat.
He swallowed nervously and called out uncertainly, "Sir?"
The deep, refined voice of the Ghost Cultivator Zhan Bingjiu appeared in his mind: "What do you want from me?"
Bi Xie blinked and thought to himself: So he could hear her and Ru Hua's conversation!
Bi Xie's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he forgot the purpose of finding the Ghost Cultivator's Sickness-Slaying Wine. Bi Xie reflexively tried to recall whether she had complained about the Ghost Cultivator's Sickness-Slaying Wine to Ru Hua.
It seems...maybe...perhaps...no.
"Bi Xie," the man called out to her coldly.
Bi Xie instinctively exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly said seriously, "My lord, I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with. With your abilities, it's very easy for you. I want a drop of her true blood. Can you help me with that?"
She pointed to the small face that floated out from the Refining Yin Banner.
The beautiful woman looked at the master suddenly pointing at her with a confused expression, somewhat stunned.
Ghost Cultivator Zhan Bingjiu remained silent, seemingly brewing something.
Bi Xie hurriedly flattered, "My lord, do good deeds and accumulate merit. A wife gave birth to nine children, please help her. Look, she's had a tough time. Not only was she killed by her husband, but she also became a vengeful ghost after death, and not only that, she was also captured by the Yin Refining Banner..."
Upon hearing that a wife had given birth to nine children, a strange emotion flashed in the ghost cultivator's fiery red eyes, and his expression became somewhat dazed, as if he were imagining it.
