Bi Xie grinned, a carefree smile playing on his lips. "Ji Gui, guess who I am?"
His long, narrow, and alluring eyes swept over the woman's weathered and aged features, revealing unfathomable emotions deep within them, like fireflies flickering in the night, shrouded in a state of half-light and half-darkness.
Ji Gui neither spoke nor moved his feet.
His calm demeanor made Bi Xie wonder if she was hallucinating, and that Ji Gui standing not far away was just a phantom she had seen before her death.
He stood there silently, and she smiled faintly at him.
She comforted herself, thinking that she herself almost didn't recognize her in her current state, so it was understandable that Ji Gui wouldn't recognize her either.
She's the best at comforting herself and deceiving herself.
Finally, the phantom she had imagined appeared before her like a gentle breeze. He knelt down, carefully extending an arm behind her back, around her shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace. His chin rested against her white hair, and he let out a trembling voice, restrained and suppressed, "Master..."
Bi Xie's smile deepened, and he winked playfully: "Oh, this isn't fun at all. You recognized me so easily."
"How did you recognize me? My face looks like a day-old vegetable leaf, withered and shriveled."
Ji Gui grabbed her hand that was trying to touch his face, kissed it, and suddenly picked her up. "Master, we won't wait anymore, we won't search anymore. Whoever's body you fancy, Wuyou will go and get it for you. You can't leave, you can't leave me!"
“But I’m tired, Wuyou,” Bi Xie’s soft sigh made Ji Gui pause.
Then, he resolutely continued walking forward.
At the same time, a golden-winged roc swiftly swooped down from the clouds towards them, letting out a loud and clear cry.
Helpless, Bi Xie could only whisper softly in his ear, "Husband, I don't want to possess someone else's body. We've done so many good things together, I don't want you to do something bad for me. Please don't take me to find someone to possess. Hold me tighter, okay?"
His thin lips trembled almost imperceptibly, and his deep black eyes gazed sadly at her. A cool, soft kiss landed on her forehead and lingered for a long time, as if a dampness had seeped into her hair.
"Master, I'm holding you tight, please don't leave me, okay?"
Bi Xie smiled and hugged him back: "Okay, I won't leave. I will never leave Wuyou for the rest of my life."
Ji Gui's eyes lit up: "Then Master, listen to me, let's do possession, okay? We'll just do one bad thing, really just one bad thing, and then we'll do a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand things to make up for it, okay Master?"
Her dark eyes were studded with countless glittering lights, creating an alluring beauty that was irresistible.
Meeting those pleading eyes, Bi Xie felt as if a heavy stone was lodged in her chest, a dull, oppressive, and slightly painful feeling.
The pain spread throughout her body, assaulting every nerve.
The Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail within her body slowly began to move, and strands of spirit desperately tried to gather together to form a complete body. A domineering force, carrying the spiritual power absorbed and devoured from her, rampaged through her eight extraordinary meridians.
She was like a container, about to be disassembled and peeled away, and then filled with a new core.
Bi Xie's face paled, but a bright smile bloomed on her lips. "Husband, come here. I have something I want to say to you."
Her long, slender fingers trembled slightly as Ji Gui pressed her face against hers, murmuring in a hoarse voice, "Master, possess me. I'll die in your place. You live, live well!"
"Anyway, they all want me dead. Righteous cultivators want to get rid of me as soon as possible, demonic cultivators also want to kill me and take my place, and even ordinary mortals know that Ji Gui is a great demon that everyone should kill."
"Everyone wants me, Ji Gui, dead, but I have lived for you. How can I go on living if my master dies?"
“Husband…” Bi Xie’s heart ached with pain. Just as she was about to touch his head, a metallic taste suddenly welled up in her throat.
She tried to swallow the metallic taste, but it kept gushing out more and more.
With each mouthful of thick blood swallowed, the discomfort intensified.
Bi Xie felt increasingly dizzy and lightheaded after swallowing the blood, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Her mouth was also filled with the taste of rust, which made her want to vomit.
No wonder in the period dramas I used to watch, people would vomit blood after being injured. So this is what it feels like to swallow blood whole!
A wave of panic washed over Bi Xie, who could no longer care about anything else. She cupped the man's head in her hands, brought her lips close, and said in a trembling voice, "Husband, actually, my first love... you fool... in the next life, you must find me again, I..."
flowery:"?"
She listened intently, but what did the host say?
At this point, instead of asking for the blood droplets, you're begging the big boss for a second chance in your next life. Do you really think the big boss will willingly hand over the blood droplets just because you said that?
Sensing that Bi Xie's life was rapidly fading, Ru Hua cried out in alarm: "Host, the blood is about to drip! Hurry, hurry, it's too late!"
When Ji Gui heard Bi Xie whisper those words in her ear, her dark eyes suddenly filled with light.
However, upon looking up and seeing Bi Xie's ashen face, all words vanished instantly, replaced by murmurs, "Master, Master, Master, Master..."
"Master, don't be afraid, I won't let you die. It's okay if you don't want to possess someone else's body. I'll let you possess me willingly. You haven't hurt anyone. If you possess me, it's only right that I save my wife!"
He spoke incoherently in a panic, his usually bright and expressive eyes filled with fear and dread.
Bi Xie pursed her lips, a trickle of blood seeping out. She smiled sweetly, her teeth stained red with blood, which was somewhat eerie. "Husband, I will not possess you. Even if everyone in the world wants you dead, I will still want you to live, because I know you are a good person."
The words "good person" left Ji Gui speechless, a tear streaming down his handsome face as he choked out, "It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching."
An alarm sounded in her mind, and amidst the repeated alarms, Ru Hua suddenly screamed in astonishment, "Holy crap, the big boss's happiness level is maxed out!!!"
"Host, hurry! Get the blood quickly, quick, quick, your body is on the verge of death!"
Bi Xie had been waiting, and upon hearing this, she quickly mustered her last breath and said, "Husband, I... I want the most precious drop of blood from your body, will you give it to me?"
"Here," Ji Gui said, and the woman in his arms suddenly turned into specks of spiritual light.
It's like a shattered mirror, impossible to put back together or reassemble.
