The Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts in Full Moon Village was something she had personally experienced.
She had seen this spider demon in her previous life.
As for Ah Jiu, she naturally appeared in her previous life as well.
Bi Xie slowly pushed him away, glanced at the handsome man whose eyes were faintly red with a complicated expression, and looked at her with pity as the spider demon attacked the two of them with bloodshot eyes. "Ajiu, beat her back to her original form."
Let alone reverting to their original form, dealing with all sorts of demons and monsters was a piece of cake for the progenitor of vampires.
The gentle and soft-spoken A-Xie suddenly pushed her away. A-Jiu pursed her lips, and with a slight movement of her hand under her wide sleeve, a small crimson sword carrying a sharp and murderous aura rushed towards the spider demon. In a panic, the spider demon transformed back into its giant form, but it was still pinned to the ground by the cold red sword and could not move, letting out a deafening roar and scream.
Pale green blood flowed across the ground, and the spider demon's demonic power drained away. Her body transformed into the shape of a gray-haired spider, but her face hardened into that of a beautiful woman, staring at the two with disbelief, resentment, and anger. "What did I do wrong? You're the ones who are wrong, you are—"
Her body shrunk dramatically, and her beautiful face became covered with wrinkles, looking sinister and terrifying. She chuckled intermittently, "A human, an evil creature, interesting..." After saying that, she vomited a mouthful of green liquid, her face full of desolation.
“Why don’t you kill me?” she asked.
Bi Xie's gaze remained indifferent, and he did not answer the spider demon's question. He simply stared at her gradually withering body and said, "Is it worth wasting a hundred years of cultivation for a man?"
The spider demon could no longer speak; the human face it had created had reverted to its spider form.
Eight jet-black, glowing eyes on its head stared at the two, its demonic aura and sinful past ties annihilated in this single sword strike.

Jiang Fan is still alive.
Bi Xie had A Jiu take him home, and the two returned in less than an hour.
When Jiang Fan learned that the monster in the mansion had been eliminated, he was extremely grateful to the two of them. He also said that he had already met his grandmother and sister and advised them to put their minds at ease.
"If you encounter this kind of monster again in the future, do not go out after dark, and you can save your life."
Jiang Fan looked at her in surprise: "Miss, this monster really only eats people who go out at night. Why is that?"
After saying that, Bi Xie felt it was a bit redundant. The spider demon had already been reduced to its original form. If it wanted to cultivate into human form again to take revenge with its demonic power, several cycles of time would have passed in the human world by then. He smiled slightly with a hint of sarcasm and said to Jiang Fan, "Because it's easy to do bad things when it's dark, such as having a secret rendezvous with someone else behind your wife's back."
"This..." Jiang Fan was taken aback, his face flushing slightly. "This can't be..."
“Just because you can’t doesn’t mean everyone can’t,” Bi Xie winked at him, then squatted down and wrapped the spider demon in a handkerchief. “Alright, Ah Jiu, we should go now.”
Ajiu raised the corners of her mouth and stretched out her arms, but Bi Xie did not crawl in. Instead, he lowered his head and stuck two Swift Wind Talismans on his ankles. He looked up and glanced at her lost and forlorn black eyes, sighed softly, and left Master Qi's mansion first.
The two disappeared in the blink of an eye, like the elusive night breeze. Jiang Fan stood there, stunned, rubbing his eyes. If it weren't for the pool of green liquid on the ground, he would have thought it was all just a dream.
"Ah Xie, are you going to release this little spider?"
The speed of the Gale Talisman was like a snail's pace to him. Ah Jiu felt he should say something because Ah Xie had rarely paid attention to him since the spider demon appeared. He felt that Ah Xie was angry. He listened to her and beat the spider demon into its original form, but she didn't smile at him. This made his chest feel a little swollen and uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to do.
"Hmm," Bi Xie knew that he was always following her at a distance, but she didn't turn her head to look at him, and just responded coldly.
Having received memories from her past life, she naturally knew that she and the ghost cultivator did not begin knowing each other when she started doing missions.
Back in her previous life, when she was the founder of Maoshan, she was already entangled with this naive vampire.
However, the flood of memories included some that she didn't know about after her death in her previous life.
Because of the Hundred Ghosts Parade in Full Moon Village, she used all her Taoist power to seal the Blood Clan Prince, which caused the effects of the Longevity Pill in her body to be completely lost along with her Taoist power. Therefore, even if she later resumed cultivating Taoist arts, her lifespan was only slightly longer than that of ordinary people.
When she was old and gray, her face etched with the wrinkles of time, Ah Jiu remained as if they were still the same as when they first met. In fact, because he often accompanied her to meditate and absorb the essence of the sun and moon, he became even younger in the year she died. His white robe accentuated his fair complexion and dignified appearance.
She died, refusing his embrace in her final moments.
He promised her he would listen to her.
But after her death, he sat there like a corpse, holding her for a whole night. His dark, bright eyes were lifeless and dull. On the third night, he carefully kissed the corner of her mouth, hot tears streaming down his face. He held her and choked back tears, like a little animal abandoned by the whole world. His eyes turned from dark to blood red, and his whole body trembled.
"A-Xie, don't ignore me, talk to me and stay with me a little longer."
"Ah Xie, I still want to eat your longevity noodles."
He had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, and now he couldn't stop crying.
He tasted his own tears; it was the first time he had felt the temperature of liquid on his own body.
His whole body was ice-cold, even his blood was cold, but when he was moved by emotion, his tears were burning hot.
He carried her to Manyue Village, where they first met. It had become a branch of Xuanyun Temple. The village was filled with incense smoke and pilgrims. Occasionally, one could even encounter a few fair-skinned and handsome young Taoist priests.
The barren back mountain was now covered with lush vegetation, including a verdant bamboo forest. Red ribbons were tied between the bamboo groves, and when the wind blew, the bright red ribbons swayed and rustled.
Hua Qing had already told everyone about the events in Manyue Village when he opened the altar to discuss Taoism. Although many people had not witnessed the tragedy firsthand, they were still moved by the suffering of the people in Manyue Village. When Xuanyun Temple set up a branch temple in Manyue Village, other temples came to help. When the people heard about it, they also spontaneously went to the back mountain to offer sacrifices to the souls of those who died tragically.
Ah Jiu, holding her stinking corpse, finally attracted attention.
Someone kindly said to him, "Young master, this person is already dead. Why are you carrying her around? Is she your relative?" He sighed, "Young master, please accept my condolences. Everyone dies eventually. Let her rest in peace as soon as possible. Alas..."
He hadn't spoken for several days, and his voice was hoarse. "But she said she didn't like sleeping in a coffin."
The man gave him a bewildered and complicated look: "What does a dead person know? If you don't want her to sleep in a coffin, then cremate her and burn her to ashes."
