"Cut!" The Masked Man saw Qingtian and Li Yunyang suddenly appear, seemingly with no intention to start. With a turn, he moved like the wind, disappearing through the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
Ling Zhu and Duck, who followed closely behind, didn't see anything clearly; they only felt a cold breeze rush past them, barely noticing someone had passed by.
"Damn it! He actually ran away." Lizard Spirit was just about to retrieve Jing Yue's body, but this group of people had disrupted him. At that moment, he felt anger and hatred.
He turned to look at Jing Yue, still frozen inside the Millennium Ice. He punched the Ice Pillar, blood flowing from his fist. From Xiang Xueer's perspective, the blood looked more like tears flowing from Jing Yue's eyes.
Lan Ran Qingtian glanced at the frozen Ice Pillar and shook his head. "It's useless; this is Millennium Ice. You don't need to exert yourself; we can't break it."
"Why?" Xiang Xueer slowly walked over to Lizard Spirit's side, hesitated for a moment, then patted his shoulder. "If Jing Yue really wakes up and sees you being used because of her, she won't be happy!"
"How do you know?" Lizard Spirit turned to Xiang Xueer, looking at her with confusion. Xiang Xueer smiled. "Although I don't like the Witch, I still know this: she has feelings for you. A woman like that requires patience."
Xiang Xueer turned and walked toward the cave entrance. "Lizard Spirit, I'm just like you; I don't want to think about the Witch being in my body. But right now, I have something more important to do. So, after I handle this matter regarding souls, I'll come find you!"
That's right; what's most important now isn't herself but Lian Cheng Xue. She left the cave, already planning a significant action in her mind.
The group finally left the mountain top and headed back toward the inn. Along the way, a few people beside her noticed that Xiang Xueer was silent and could no longer hold back.
"Hey, Dead Girl!" Li Yunyang blocked her path, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Xiang Xueer.
Xiang Xueer slowly raised her head and looked at the four people beside her. "I know what you want to ask; the Witch has already told me about Lian Cheng Xue. So now I just want to tell you: I’m going to save Lian Cheng Xue!"
"What? Save Lian Cheng Xue?" Duck's eyes widened in surprise. "Sister, are you okay? Lian Cheng Xue is already dead! Are you in shock or something?"
Ling Zhu also advised from the side, "If it were possible to save her, I would have done it already. I know this matter has hit you hard! But she has been dead for almost two days now; at this point, she has already gone to the Underworld."
Xiang Xueer stood in place, her big eyes looking at Li Yunyang and Qingtian. Suddenly, both of them frowned, shocked in their hearts: "No, it can't be, Shirley, you don't mean to...?"
Xiang Xueer revealed a smile at the corner of her mouth: "You are right, I want to venture into the Underworld again. Lian Cheng Xue died because of it, and I will snatch his soul back from the Underworld."
"No way!" Qingtian immediately rejected her idea. This was simply too crazy. Although Lian Cheng Xue was also a good friend of theirs, venturing into the Underworld was no joke.
Last time was a lesson; it was already a miracle that they both came out alive. Moreover, that Rakshasa King had already shown them great mercy. If they ventured in again, they would not only fail to save Lian Cheng Xue but might not even make it out themselves.
Xiang Xueer's gaze was firm; no matter what Lan Ran Qingtian said, she would not waver: "Li Yunyang, Qingtian, you taught me what it means to be a friend. It is through you that I learned there are still trustworthy friends in this world. I, Xiang Xueer, have lived for over twenty years and have never felt so much like a person as I do today. Beyond slaughter, there is trust, sincerity, and true feelings in this world. Lian Cheng Xue died because of it; I will not sit idly by. Even if it costs me my life, I will bring him back. No matter who it is, if anything happens here, I will do the same!"
"For a friend, I would risk everything!" Xiang Xueer recalled a line from a Jin Yong drama; indeed, she finally grasped its essence. Ling Zhu felt moved in her heart, and Duck was even brought to tears.
"Big sister, I'm glad I didn't follow the wrong person!" Duck rushed over to hug her leg and rubbed against her: "But big sister, it seems you made a mistake; how could you have lived for over twenty years!"
"Ah!" Xiang Xueer suddenly remembered that in this world she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She pointed at her chest: "My mind is very mature!"
"Oh!" Duck stared at her chest for a long time: "Oh, you meant your mind; I thought you were talking about your flat chest!"
Xiang Xueer’s forehead bulged with veins as she punched Duck on the head: "Damn Duck, if you dare say I'm flat-chested again, I'll send you to the King of Hell!"
"Wow, that hurts!" Duck covered his head and started crying. Seeing her furious expression, he quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, big sister! I like flat chests the most!"
Lan Ran Qingtian and Li Yunyang sighed. They understood this girl's temper too well; once she set her mind on something, even ten oxen couldn't pull her back. It seemed she was determined to venture into the Underworld!
Li Yunyang slowly stepped forward and patted Xiang Xueer's shoulder: "Since you're going, then Qingtian and I will go help."
Standing aside, Ling Zhu immediately agreed, "Count me in as well. Although my skills are average, I can still help a bit."
"No!" Xiang Xueer quickly rejected the three of them, already having a plan in mind. "None of you should go. This time, I will act alone."
"What?" The others frowned instantly. Li Yunyang and Qingtian were determined not to indulge her this time. "What kind of joke is this? You going alone? Do you know what Underworld is like? Even if everyone went to help, we might not be able to rescue Lian Xiong."
Xiang Xueer had a different idea. Confidently, she took out a Jade Token from her pouch, which had the character 'Yan' engraved on it. "I will go by myself; I have my own plans."
"What is that?" Ling Zhu craned her neck to look at the token in her hand. Xiang Xueer explained, "This was given to me by the Rakshasa King back then. At that time, he was poisoned severely and handed over the token that commands Underworld to me in order to capture the Serpent Empress."
"Really? This little Jade Token can command Underworld? Is that true?" Duck joined in, looking at the Jade Token with surprise and then grinning mischievously. "Wow, big sister, I didn't expect you to keep this a secret!"
"What secret? We didn't use the token back then; we were in a hurry and forgot to return it." Xiang Xueer put the token away. "I plan to return the token to Yan Wang and sneak into Underworld to rescue Lian Xiong. If there are too many people, it won't be convenient for action and could easily raise suspicions about our motives!"
"I see!" Li Yunyang and Qingtian finally understood Xiang Xueer's intentions. It turned out this girl had quite a clever mind. However, since the token wasn't given back to the Rakshasa King, perhaps it was indeed our good fortune that we still have a way out.
"Let's head back to the inn; we can discuss the plan in detail later!" After Xiang Xueer finished speaking, the others nodded and finally returned to the inn. By now, it was already bright outside, and they could only wait until nightfall to enter Underworld.
Xiang Xueer sat by the bed in the room, looking at Lian Cheng Xue's already cold body, feeling very distressed. Li Yunyang walked in and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Don't worry; as long as we can bring back his soul, Ling Zhu said she can restore the three souls and seven spirits."
"Mm!" Xiang Xueer held Li Yunyang's hand and leaned against his chest. "I know, but I'm always worried that one day this Witch might awaken again and kill all my friends around me. What should I do then?"
