She finished speaking and bared her teeth as she charged towards it, scaring Duck so much that it wet its pants with a splash and began to cry loudly, "Help me, big sister, save me!"
"Your big sister won't come to save you anymore!" Witch turned and walked away, her smile as cold as the moon, pointing to her own body. "She is here sleeping peacefully."
"Ah! You... who are you!" Platypus quickly scrambled up from the ground, recalling having seen Xiang Xueer transform into this form before. It had thought she possessed the ability to transform, but it turned out there was another person inside her?
Sitting on the ground, it stared blankly at the Snake Gallbladder on the ground, its mind in chaos, counting on its fingers while muttering, "Big sister is not a big sister, then who is big sister?"
Not far away, Lian Cheng Xue and Qingtian found no clues. When they turned back to this side, they discovered Platypus sitting there in a daze.
"Hey, Duck, what's wrong with you?" Lian Cheng Xue tilted her head at its confused expression and shouted loudly, startling it into turning to stare at the two of them. "Big sister is gone, big sister is not a big sister anymore, who exactly is big sister?"
What a mess! The two exchanged glances; there seemed to be signs of a struggle around. Qingtian quickly squatted down and asked, "What happened here? What did you see?"
Suddenly, Platypus jolted awake and stood up from the ground, pointing at the Snake Gallbladder beside it. "Big sister said this is Serpent Empress's Snake Gallbladder, no wait, she is not big sister!"
Following its finger, Qingtian quickly picked up the Snake Gallbladder, exclaiming in surprise, "Great! It seems that Shirley has already obtained the Snake Gallbladder!"
"Oh no, time is running out! We must return the Snake Gallbladder to the Underworld as soon as possible; otherwise, it will be too late!" Lian Cheng Xue looked up at the sky. "What about Shirley?"
Qingtian swiftly stored the Snake Gallbladder, turning towards the direction of the Underworld. "There's no time! Since Shirley was able to get the Snake Gallbladder, she should be fine. We need to go save Brother Li, or all her efforts will be in vain!"
Worriedly, Platypus glanced back and then followed as the three headed towards the Underworld, leaving the forest behind.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld.
The King of Rakshasas sat in his palace, cold sweat pouring down his forehead as his body gradually grew colder. He rolled up his sleeves to look at his arms; black snake venom had spread to his shoulders and was beginning to reach his heart.
Ghost Doctor stood anxiously by his side, observing his injuries. "King Yanluo, it seems we won't be able to retrieve the antidote. To save your life, you must amputate your arm!"
The King of Rakshasas slowly stood up and walked towards the cage of the Eighteen Layers of Hell. Li Yunyang remained inside the cage, watching him. If the poison reached his heart, he would end up like that too.
"Damn it!" he shouted angrily and waved his hand; the iron cage's door slowly opened. "It seems your friends don't care about your life or death. Since we can't get the antidote, then let this arm accompany you in death!"
Li Yunyang's lifeless eyes suddenly moved, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye. His lips slightly moved as he gently called out, "Shirley."
"Hmm?" The Rakshasa King stared at the tear in the corner of his eye, furrowing his brow. This guy, despite having his brain damaged by snake venom, was still able to shed tears. What kind of strong bond could allow him to retain even this sliver of consciousness?
Even so, a promise is a promise. The Rakshasa King turned and left, commanding, "Someone, take him to Hell's Eighteen Layers."
Meanwhile, Lian Cheng Xue and Lan Ran Qingtian, who were desperately rushing toward the Underworld, finally arrived at the forest of the other shore flowers. At the massive entrance to the Underworld, the Eighteen Judges of Hell were anxiously waiting at the door, pacing back and forth. "What should we do? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Snake Gallbladder has been obtained!" Lan Ran Qingtian landed on the ground with a blood-stained bag in hand. Upon seeing this, Lu Pan finally smiled and hurriedly led the two into the Underworld. "This is great; now there's hope!"
Inside the palace, Yama's Messengers were preparing hot water, towels, and tools. The Ghost Doctor tied a rope around the Rakshasa King's arm and began preparing for amputation.
The Ghost Doctor picked up a long sword. The Rakshasa King looked down at his arm and slowly closed his eyes. "Let's begin."
Before the blade could fall, shouts from outside the palace rang out: "Ghost Doctor, wait! We have the antidote!"
The Rakshasa King suddenly opened his eyes as the Eighteen Judges of Hell entered quickly with Lan Ran Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue. Upon seeing the package in his hand, he finally sighed in relief and thought to himself, "My arm is finally saved."
The Ghost Doctor opened the package and took out a fist-sized Snake Gallbladder for a closer look. Nodding, he pierced the Snake Gallbladder and let a drop of bile fall into a bowl of water. After drinking it, the Rakshasa King vomited out a mouthful of black blood as the snake venom was cleared away, and the color in his arm gradually returned to normal.
"Ah, that's great! We made it just in time!" Qingtian exclaimed before remembering something important. "King Yama, since your poison has been cleared, please release Li Yunyang!"
The Rakshasa King nodded at the Eighteen Judges of Hell and immediately turned to handle things. "Ghost Doctor, take the antidote to detoxify the poisoned citizens."
"Yes!" The two quickly retreated. The Rakshasa King turned to look at them and asked, "Why are there only you two? Where is that woman?"
"We went to contact her; we'll find her once we finish here!" Lan Ran Qingtian replied.
The Rakshasa King hesitated for a moment before walking outside. "I advise you to keep your distance from her; after all, she is not one of us!"
"Huh?" Both were confused by this statement. Not one of us? Lian Cheng Xue looked at Qingtian in bewilderment. "Isn't Miss Xueer an Exorcist? If she's different from you, then you are one of us!"
The Rakshasa King said nothing more and left with one last remark: "I've said all I can; take care of yourselves!"
In the Eighteen Layers of Hell, Li Yunyang was almost stripped and tied to a pillar, about to be torn in half by the Ghost Messengers. By the time Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue arrived, he had already consumed a potion and was crouching on the ground, vomiting.
“Qingtian, ugh, what is going on?” Li Yunyang asked between bouts of vomiting. “Ugh, what kind of place is this?”
Qingtian sighed heavily. “Please, can you not shout my name while you're throwing up!”
The black poison had finally been expelled from his body, and the citizens of the nineteenth layer were redeemed, sent back to the mortal realm by the Ghost Messengers of Hell.
After Qingtian explained the situation to Li Yunyang, he began looking around for her. “Hey? Where is Dead Girl?”
The two exchanged glances. “We don’t know either. After she went to hunt down the Serpent Empress, she suddenly disappeared. We came back to rescue you first, so we haven’t found out what happened to her.”
As soon as Lian Cheng Xue finished speaking, Li Yunyang noticed Platypus sitting nearby in a daze. He approached and lifted it up, asking, “Hey, what did Dead Girl say when she gave you Snake Gallbladder? Did she mention where she was going?”
Platypus pouted and shook its head. “No, big sister isn’t big sister anymore. I don’t know where she went.”
What a mess! Li Yunyang frowned as both of them shook their heads. “Forget it. When we find her, this Duck will just babble nonsense. I don’t think it knows anything either, so let’s search for ourselves!”
The group returned to the forest where Xiang Xueer had last appeared. Aside from a pool of blood and some AK-47s, crossbows, and daggers left on the ground, there were no clues—no sign of the Serpent Empress's body either.
They decided to follow the traces left by the Serpent Empress; as long as they found her, they would surely uncover Xiang Xueer’s whereabouts.
