for you
Xu Ya is no longer the timid and thin girl she used to be.
Ever since An Jiaze dragged her into the dungeon and locked her up with Shen Qi and A Xi, Xu Ya has been keeping a close eye on Shen Qi's movements.
She really had to be on guard; she was afraid Shen Qi would steal from the male lead's family—and she was also afraid she wouldn't live to perform.
It's not that she has the audacity to put herself in the male lead's territory.
But relationships between people are built up over time, and they quickly bond after helping each other.
Given how outstanding the male lead is, it's not surprising that he'd take care of one or two useless guys, right? Besides, she noticed that the male lead seems to really enjoy the fried chicken she makes.
Each time he ate, he gave Xu Ya some feedback that he liked to watch.
As fellow fried chicken lovers, Xu Ya believes that she and the male lead have already developed a mutual respect, and even if that's not the case, their fates are intertwined.
She sat on the ground, her arms wrapped around Ah Xi, facing Shen Qi, keeping a distance from Shen Qi to prevent her from being suddenly manipulated by Master Xu to attack her.
Xu Ya's posture was full of defensiveness, but she wasn't worried that Shen Qi would notice anything amiss.
After observing for several months, Xu Ya had a small suspicion: she suspected that Shen Qi was a paper doll controlled by Master Xu.
Master Xu's description in that incomplete book was that Shen Qi was a rare genius among the talisman cultivators in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh. Looking at the strange patterns on Shen Qi's hand and her occasional robot-like stuttering, Xu Ya understood everything.
Perhaps Master Xu was determined to succeed and didn't bother to hide Shen Qi's identity, because if he recommended her to Xu Ya, Xu Ya wouldn't be able to refuse.
Master Xu wanted to disgust her, to disgust Shi Yuzhen.
Xu Ya hugged A Xi tightly, her resistant and wary gaze hidden under her bangs. A Xi didn't have many thoughts; he just blushed as Xu Ya held him in her arms. He had no concept of going to jail; he only knew that he was happy and at ease being with Xu Ya. He simply hugged Xu Ya.
Xu Ya thought Ah Xi was also scared, and a sense of guilt rose in her heart.
The two were practically glued together.
Oh no! Master Xu sensed that the two paper talismans he sent to surround Shi Yuzhen were being burned by true fire. He had imbued Master Chen's puppet paper talisman with a trace of his spiritual energy, so any unexpected events would be reflected back to him. Master Xu saw a talisman on his arm being corroded by true fire of equal power. He was surprised and puzzled as to how Shi Yuzhen could control such powerful true fire, while he watched with a gloomy expression as a piece of intact skin began to fester.
He curled his lips into a sinister smile, and without pausing, his fingertips immediately activated Shen Qi to kill Xu Ya!
Shen Qi responded quickly; she suddenly leaned forward, her hair brushing against Xu Ya's shoes!
Xu Ya was focused on Shen Qi. As soon as Shen Qi made a sound, Xu Ya immediately became alert. She hugged A Xi and took several steps back to avoid Shen Qi's strange posture.
Shen Qi fell to the ground without uttering a sound, but was driven by non-existent strings like a puppet. Her limbs began to twist strangely. In a short while, Xu Ya watched as her arms instantly transformed into sharp blades, about to slash at Xu Ya's face!
Xu Ya's physique is not as good as before. With the help of fried chicken she makes herself and the male protagonist feeding her, Xu Ya is now able to nimbly dodge some cultivators' normal attacks.
The cheek still didn't open much, and a long blood vessel appeared.
Xu Ya was completely unaware; she threw Ah Xi aside and yelled, "Run!!! Split up and run!!! Don't get caught!!"
Ah-Xi was a smart boy. He understood Xu Ya's instructions and fled in the opposite direction from Xu Ya.
But Ah-Xi was also a stubborn child. When he saw that Xu Ya was injured, he changed his pace and seemed to be flanking Shen Qi from behind to create space for Xu Ya to escape.
But he was just a child, and he could barely hold onto Shen Qi's waist. He was about to be thrown off by Shen Qi. Shen Qi got angry and disobeyed Master Xu's order. He turned the killing target around and used his own will to point the sharp blade at Ah Xi. He was about to give the order in the next second!
Xu Ya had no need for the child to sacrifice for her like this, and she panicked, feeling utterly helpless.
Xu Ya rushed towards Shen Qi, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her. She took out an inexhaustible supply of oil from her treasure bag and was about to splash it on Shen Qi's face.
Xu Ya's aim was pretty good; she drenched Shen Qi completely!
The oily water instantly clouded Shen Qi's five senses! It enveloped Shen Qi's entire head.
"Ah-Xi, get out of the way!!"
Xu Ya made a hand seal and set the fire on fire.
Moments later, Shen Qi's head burst into flames.
However, Xu Ya's fire control technique was just an ordinary spell without any additional enhancements. Shen Qi's hair had been completely burned off, and her face was almost burned away. But since she was a low-level cultivator, she still had the ability to move.
From the distortion, Xu Ya saw her anger!
As Xu Ya watched the fire figure rushing toward her in a bizarre manner, she decisively poured oil into its path.
Xu Ya saw a forest fire man comically slipping on the oil on the floor. He tried to get up, but as soon as he put his hands up, he slipped again.
Seeing this, Xu Ya immediately performed a few more hand seals to set Shen Qi on fire!
Since it's paper, it must be able to be burned! Since it's paper, it must be able to be burned!
A streak of fire flew from the sky, piercing through the cage and striking Shen Qi's twisted, prostrate body precisely.
For the first time, Shen Qi screamed and howled in the sea of fire like a living person.
Xu Ya felt reluctant, but she had to do it. Although her magic was completely inadequate, she knew that since it was paper, it could definitely be burned!
Shi Yuzhen used her ink sword to break the lock on the dungeon and then used her Nascent Soul True Fire to ignite the oil on the ground.
The fire was relentless and quickly engulfed the entire cage.
At this moment, Xu Ya reached out and pulled Ah Xi towards Shi Yuzhen, almost getting hit by the powerful true fire.
Suddenly, Shi Yuzhen opened her arms and pulled the two of them into her embrace, instantly moving them away from the area of the fire and explosion.
Two flames suddenly appeared in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh that could not be extinguished. The cultivators panicked and realized what was going on, and they rushed to the two sides in different directions.
At the same time, having lost the second move, Master Xu could only reluctantly give up on Shi Yuzhen, this lucrative prize.
With the spearhead aimed at An Jiaze, just as An Jiaze advanced to the Great Perfection stage, Master Xu's sleeves fluttered, and a whole row of talismans shot out, forcefully breaking through the protective shield that An Jiaze had set up for himself!
An Jiaze turned around in astonishment and saw that familiar face. He realized that the person had indeed choked, coughed up blood, and knelt on the ground.
An Jiaze shouted to the monks protecting him outside, but no one responded.
They had already been secretly bled to death by Master Xu.
Now, a row of skeletons lies askew in the middle of the road, and no one responds to An Jiaze.
An Jiaze sensed something was wrong. He pulled out a bunch of tonics from his sleeve and stuffed them into his mouth. It turned out to be a power that had been raised to the first cycle of Qi, which he used to cast a spell to destroy the talisman that Master Xu had used to distract him.
After Rong Aoqing and Yu Manjing had remained hidden for a long time, they immediately rushed into An Jiaze's cultivation cave, which had been riddled with holes, after receiving an urgent communication from Cai Wenle.
An Jiaze was no match for Master Xu's talisman and incantation, and was at a disadvantage. When the group rushed in, An Jiaze looked up in a disheveled state and met their gazes.
Understanding each other perfectly, Rong Aoqing and the others pointed their swords at the crazed Master Xu, protecting An Jiaze.
An Jiaze could only temporarily believe in the goodwill of the visitors and focused his spiritual energy.
Master Xu had already lost to Shi Yuzhen, and now he had nothing left. He hummed a strange laugh, and his body was filled with evil black energy. His hair, which should have been neat and tidy, suddenly exploded and became a thick black hair.
Master Xu's inner demons finally broke free and merged with his own body, releasing bursts of black sand with a whoosh.
"It really is you, Master Xu." Upon seeing this familiar figure in black sand, Cai Wenle could no longer deceive himself. "Why did you indiscriminately slaughter cultivators?! Why did you secretly plot to harm Senior Brother Shi, who attempted to seize his body?! Answer me!! Master Xu!!"
Master Xu's face was contorted, as if he had long since lost track of what was being asked him, and he just chuckled: "Haha ...
An Jiaze was utterly astonished: "What? He... he wants to possess someone's body?"
Rong Aoqing coldly explained to An Jiaze, "It's a long story. Let's capture the crazed Master Xu first, and then we can interrogate him!"
An Jiaze responded with a look of lingering fear and terror.
In an instant, An Jiaze, Cai Wenle, Rong Aoqing, and Yu Manjing together channeled their spiritual energy from their dantians, aiming directly at Master Xu's renowned lineage.
Master Xu chuckled, showing no fear whatsoever, his hair slowly extending into the entire cave, creating an eerie and terrifying scene.
The hair grew at an abnormal rate, like weeds in the ground, growing thicker and thicker until it gradually enveloped the four of them.
Suddenly, everyone felt short of breath, as if a powerful suction force was drawing away the spiritual energy gathered around them!
Something's wrong with that black hair!
An Jiaze was about to make a decision when he was suddenly enveloped in a ball by the hair and fell silent!
Cai Wenle and the others said anxiously, "Oh no! An Jiaze!! Damn it..."
Rong Aoqing calmly wielded her sword, severing strand after strand of the strange hair. But the hair was like an unstoppable stream of water; once cut cleanly, it would immediately regenerate from the broken edge... endlessly and inexhaustibly!
Shi Yuzhen and Xu Ya arrived just in time, and Shi Yuzhen immediately used her spiritual energy to completely envelop the cave.
The true fire was ignited to burn the entire cave, and a warm yet powerful protective shield immediately enveloped Xu Ya and A Xi, protecting them from the burning flames.
Seeing that she could still move freely inside the protective shield, Xu Ya immediately moved onto the black sphere that resembled An Jiaze. Upon seeing this, Yu Manjing immediately stopped attacking to help Xu Ya escape from An Jiaze.
It only took a moment for the hair to wrap around An Jiaze, but Yu Manjing used almost all her strength and still had a hard time breaking free of the tangled strands. Finally, with the help of the two of them and A Xi's small hands, An Jiaze's pale face emerged from the mess of hair.
When An Jiaze saw Xu Ya, he was surprised at first, but he was so entangled that he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't bring himself to ask what they were doing here.
Xu Ya immediately took out the fried chicken, quickly tore it into pieces, and put it into An Jiaze's mouth.
If An Jiaze were sober now, he would never eat Xu Ya's food of unknown origin.
But now he was so weak that he could barely breathe, and he had lost his former high spirits. He could only accept the fried chicken pieces that Xu Ya handed him one bite after another.
The effects of fried chicken were amplified by Xu Ya's well-rested constitution.
An Jiaze immediately felt a warm sensation all over his body, a strange warmth flowing from his limbs and bones into his dantian.
The hidden injuries he sustained from Master Xu's attack seemed to be neutralized by this magical power, and in less than a moment, he recovered 70% of his strength.
To break free from annoying predicaments on one's own.
When Master Xu saw Shi Yuzhen, she was almost going crazy! Her hair seemed to know her state of mind, and it kept fluttering in the air, spreading like some kind of pollutant.
For you! To have you!!! These are necessary sacrifices!!
Hahahaha!!
