Ru Hua: "Oh dear~ Host, don't give up so easily. You survived the unpredictable, cruel, and bloodthirsty big boss, so how could you die at the hands of this group of old men? It's just a few nails. When the big boss comes back, he'll definitely find a way to remove them."
Bi Xie's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Ru Hua raised her voice triumphantly: "Of course it's true. The big boss is the most awesome existence in this world. There's nothing the big boss can't handle. It's just that the host doesn't know how to curry favor with a powerful figure!"
Bi Xie's fear and anxiety subsided somewhat. Thinking about her dreamlike experiences during this period, Bi Xie felt that even if she were reborn, she would no longer be the ordinary college student Bi Xie.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but as he closed his eyes, Bi Xie suddenly noticed a movement.
The image of Ru Hua in his mind also reminded him: "Someone's coming!"
Bi Xie opened his eyes and glanced at the entrance of the stone chamber. A handsome man with delicate features waved the barrier and stepped in.
Seeing Bi Xie's obvious improvement in her injuries, Wu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows curving into a smile as she hurried over to Bi Xie. "Sister Xiao Feng, I've come to bring you some pills. I didn't bring many last time, but this time I've brought a more complete set..."
Her slender, long fingers reached into her robes and took out bottles of precious pills, placing them in front of Bi Xie.
Besides healing pills like Li Gu Dan, there are also many pills that promote tissue regeneration, improve complexion, remove scars, and nourish the body.
Bi Xie blinked. She had basically mastered the original owner's alchemy skills and naturally recognized the value of these pills. She pursed her lips and asked, "Where did you get so many pills?"
The slender hand paused, and the man lowered his eyes and said softly, "Sister Xiaofeng, is it alright if we don't ask this?"
The clear voice was somewhat hoarse, as if it contained some intense emotion.
Bi Xie's heart skipped a beat. Could this silly boy be doing something foolish?
With a stern expression, Bi Xie resumed his cold demeanor and pushed the pills back, saying, "My injuries are much better now, I don't need these. Take them back."
"Sister Xiaofeng..." Wu Zhan clenched his fists tightly, his handsome face filled with suppressed pain. "If Wu Zhan doesn't want to talk about it, why is Sister Xiaofeng forcing me?"
Bi Xie suddenly met the man's sorrowful and suppressed eyes, and his heart trembled.
She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Wu Zhan stared at her aloof and cold demeanor for a long time before finally biting his lip and giving in. His voice, as if filled with lead, choked out, "These pills weren't stolen. They were given to me by Fairy Chenxi. I... I promised my ancestor that I would become Fairy Chenxi's Daoist partner, and in return, my ancestor promised me that he would no longer allow True Lord Congnian and the others to torture you..."
“Fairy Chenxi is a disciple of True Lord Luosheng. With True Lord Luosheng and your great-grandfather protecting you, True Lord Nian and the others will no longer harm you. I said I would protect you…”
Bi Xie's lips moved slightly.
Ru Hua suddenly whimpered, "Oh dear, I told you the host would be alright! This silly boy is so devoted! But host, please don't develop feelings for him just because you're touched, or the big boss will get jealous!"
Bi Xie was speechless: "The object of his infatuation is not me, but Feng Xie."
"Take care of your injuries and I'll come see you again in a while," the man said, his eyes slightly red and moist, but a smile curved his lips. "I will protect Sister Xiaofeng until Ji Gui returns."
Bi Xie watched him walk away silently, then sighed softly.
Picking up a medicine bottle, Bi Xie asked with a strange expression, "Ru Hua, if someone uses their soul to exchange wishes with a ghost cultivator, are they unable to reincarnate?"
"Why is the host asking this?"
"I want Feng Xie to be reincarnated, so that he might meet Wu Zhan again in some future life and continue their relationship."
Ru Hua ruthlessly stabbed her in the back: "Host, you've been reading too many storybooks. When a person dies, they're dead. Very few people like you can be contracted by a master after death. The ghost realm is vast. No matter if you were enemies, relatives, or lovers in your past life, you will go to different places after death because of your different merits in life—"
"Those who accumulate too much negative karma in their past lives will descend to the eighteen levels of hell after death, while those who accumulate much good karma will be directly reincarnated, either into wealthy merchant families or imperial families. Those with karmic connections in their past lives may not even meet again in their next life."
"The Buddha said that five hundred glances in a past life are needed to earn a mere brush with someone in this life, and these five hundred glances require the accumulation of many past lives. So... host, don't worry about other people's affairs. The most important thing is to quickly raise the big boss's happiness level to the maximum when he returns~"
Bi Xie swallowed two Separation Pills, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said, "Sister Ruhua, can you please stop showing off your beautiful voice? Just answer my question."
Ru Hua said "Oh," and coughed, "Yes, unless the Ghost Cultivator releases Feng Xie's soul, she will not be able to reincarnate."
Bi Xie frowned: "What does the Ghost Cultivator need a soul for? Does the Ghost Cultivator eat this?"
Bi Xie felt a chill run down his spine as images of evil magic he had read in novels automatically flashed through his mind.
Ru Hua sneered, "What are you thinking! My master doesn't eat this stuff. Do you think he wants to take in those souls? Most of them don't want to be reincarnated anymore. They think the human world is not worth it and being human is too tiring, so they deliberately use some very simple wishes as an exchange to stay by my master's side—"
"With their master around, the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Underworld dare not take away these souls."
"Host, think about it carefully. Don't you think the original owner's wish in the previous world was too simple?"
Bi Xie blinked. In the previous world, the original owner of Qin Xiaoxie had two wishes: one was to make a lot of money so that her grandparents could live out their old age in comfort and receive their final farewell; the other was to find a loving and caring husband so that they could be filial to their grandparents together until they passed away.
It seems... to be very simple.
How could I snort twice: "If those souls were to leave willingly, I would be more than happy to see them. They all treat Lord Ghost Cultivator as their protector. You have no idea, some of them even dared to try to seduce Lord Ghost Cultivator. They are especially shameless!"
Bi Xie raised an eyebrow: "Give me an example."
Ru Hua, in high spirits, began to show off her melodious voice again: "Then I'll pick two for you to talk about. These two souls were used by the previous mission takers, and they were both stunningly beautiful, capable of captivating the nation and eclipsing the moon and shame the flowers~"
"It was a clear, moonlit night, a serene and beautiful night. The spirit drifted to the master's coffin and called out in a soft, charming voice, 'My lord, are you asleep? The moonlight is so beautiful. Isn't it stifling and lonely for you to stay in the coffin? Why don't you come out and enjoy the moon?'"
Then he started posing and swaying his hips in front of the coffin.
"And then guess what?" He chuckled twice.
Bi Xie pondered, "Did the Ghost Cultivator ignore her?"
