In the courtyard.
Huo Yao and the others sat down in the chairs. "It's not that there's no way, it's just that it's very difficult, and no one can do it, so it's no different from not having one."
Huo Yao looked at Mu Jin playing the pipa outside, his eyes filled with sadness. "As you can see, Mu Jin, like this young girl, is born with a body susceptible to all poisons."
“Mujin is my wife. I used to be like you, not believing in fate. I thought of defying the heavens to change Mujin’s fate, so that her body of ten thousand poisons could become a holy body of ten thousand poisons, so that she could live a long life and stay with me.”
"But in the end, it still failed. On our wedding day, Mu Jin's body of all poisons erupted and the toxins went out of control. In order not to hurt me, she committed suicide in my arms."
"Then she is now..." Luo Wanyin stared in shock at Mu Jin playing the pipa outside.
“She’s long dead. What you see now is just an empty shell,” Huo Yao said.
"I tried many methods to cure Hibiscus's poisonous body, and later I obtained a meteorite with extremely strong power."
"I thought the power in that meteorite could help Mu Jin's Ten Thousand Poisons Body transform into the Ten Thousand Poisons Saint Body, but I didn't expect that the meteorite contained death energy."
"After Mu Jin committed suicide, the death energy immediately took over Mu Jin's body, corrupted her soul, and mutated her into this form, so that she would live in this form forever."
"Moreover, the death aura on her body binds her, forcing her to remain in the Death Curse Prison, forever entangled with the death aura."
"I built this courtyard to be with her. Even though she is unconscious and doesn't remember what happened between us, I still hopefully fantasize that she is still here and that we can go back to the way things were before."
“When she’s quiet, she likes to hold the pipa I gave her and play it, but sometimes she becomes dead and out of control, her heart consumed by killing, and she runs out of the courtyard to attack people.”
“I don’t want her to suffer like this. I don’t want her to become a puppet parasitized by death energy even after she dies. I want her soul to return to freedom and not be trapped here.”
“But the death aura on her body is even stronger than the death aura in the entire Death Curse Prison. I have no way to remove the death aura from her.”
"I've been to many places on the mainland, but I haven't found a way to eliminate the death aura." Huo Yao's tone was full of self-blame for his powerlessness.
"Elder Huo, my Glazed Demon Flame can purify death energy." After Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, a ball of flame appeared in her palm.
"You can purify death energy?" Huo Yao stared at the flame in disbelief.
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"No wonder the death aura in the Death Curse Prison is so powerful, yet you were able to walk into the depths unscathed," Huo Yao murmured.
Even if his strength has reached the pseudo-immortal realm, he cannot stay in the Death Curse Prison for long.
Every time he spends time with Mu Jin here, he needs to leave the Death Curse Prison to find a way to get rid of the death aura while dispelling the death aura that has tainted his body.
Otherwise, once death energy accumulates in the body, life will be gradually devoured, the body will mutate, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although he cleared away the death energy in time, its side effects still caused his appearance to age rapidly.
Ruan Xiyan continued, "However, Elder Huo should know that she is only able to stand here because of the death energy in her body. If the death energy in her body is cleared, she will completely dissipate and 'die' once again."
Although the woman named Mu Jin is no longer alive, Huo Lao can still see her from time to time.
Huo Lao witnessed Mu Jin's death on their wedding night. Will he have to witness her death again?
This is a cruel thing to do no matter who it is.
"Of course I understand. I don't want to let her go, but I also can't bear to let her suffer like this. I would rather be the one who lives a life of pain, regret, and longing."
“Mujin loved beauty the most when she was alive. She certainly couldn’t accept her current appearance, nor could she accept that she lost control and hurt people. I know her. If she were still here, she would definitely make the same decision as me.”
Mu Jin sat down beside Huo Yao at some point, nestled against his back.
The pipa she was playing had stopped; she seemed to have vaguely sensed something, and her expression remained calm.
Huo Yao turned his head and touched Mu Jin's face. "Mu Jin, don't blame me."
Mu Jin rubbed against his palm.
Huo Yao steeled himself, looked at Ruan Xiyan, and uttered a few words with difficulty, "Please."
Ruan Xiyan sighed softly, "Since Elder Huo has made up his mind, I will help."
Ruan Xiyan used her mental power to probe the location of the meteorite inside Mu Jin's body.
That meteorite was the culprit that caused Mu Jin to become a death aura puppet. Destroying that meteorite will dissipate all the death aura within her.
However, that meteorite contained the essence of death energy, which is something that cannot be dealt with by human spiritual power, let alone a meteorite containing the essence of death energy.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Huo Yao, "Elder Huo, let's begin."
Huo Yao wrapped one arm around Mu Jin, ignoring the deathly aura and poison emanating from her, and imprisoned her in his embrace.
In his other hand, he held a wooden flute. "Hibiscus, just bear with it. I'll play the flute for you, and play your favorite tune."
Ruan Xiyan controlled the Glazed Demon Flame to penetrate Mu Jin's body, enveloping the meteorite inside her in flames.
Under the purifying power of the flames, purified white smoke continuously rose from the meteorite.
Mu Jin struggled painfully, but stopped struggling after hearing Huo Yao's melodious flute playing.
She endured the pain, listened to the familiar sound of the flute, and felt the death energy within her body being purified little by little. A glimmer of light seemed to appear in her dull eyes.
She took out her pipa, and the pipa played in harmony with the xiao, the sheng and qing, creating a melodious and pleasant sound, just like when they first met, only with a touch of sadness and the feeling of parting.
"Yoro, let's play this last piece together."
Huo Yao suddenly looked at Mu Jin, who had spoken, "Jin Niang! You remember me."
Mu Jin laughed and cried at the same time, "Yes, I shouldn't have forgotten my Yao Lang, you are my Yao Lang."
Huo Yao's eyes reddened, and he incredulously tried to touch her.
He never imagined that he would hear her call him Yaolang again in his lifetime; he had no regrets in this life.
However, Huo Yao's hand passed right through Mu Jin's body.
The deathly meteorite within Mu Jin's body was destroyed, and she briefly regained some consciousness. However, with the restoration of consciousness, without the support of the deathly energy, her body began to dissipate into specks of starlight.
"Jinniang, I'm sorry."
Seeing the guilt in Huo Yao's eyes, Mu Jin comforted him.
"Silly girl, why are you apologizing? What you think is what I think. Indeed, no matter what, you are the one who understands me the most."
