Everyone followed Li Xiaonan's gaze towards the "person" behind the tree, and they couldn't help but gasp in horror.
What kind of monster is this? It's truly hideous!
The robust, bluish-gray figure was covered in terrifying sores, with a bald head topped by a pair of blood-red eyes, sharp ears, and fangs. A pair of Flesh Wings sprouted from its back, making it look even more demonic than the demons themselves.
"Brother Xiaonan, he... he's so ugly!" Lu Nishang quickly covered her eyes, unable to look any longer.
Li Xiaonan frowned as well. Could this be the one who helped him?
"I..." The voice was chillingly cold and filled with sorrow.
The creature suddenly covered its mouth with its hand, eyes wide with surprise. It stared blankly at its own hand, where sharp white fingertips protruded from bluish-gray skin.
It touched its face and stumbled back a step, its Flesh Wings colliding with the Banyan Tree behind it.
The branches trembled, and several leaves fell from the air as a gust of wind blew through, carrying a strange, foul odor.
This grotesque figure was Luna, who had rushed out from deep within the Green Fairy Trace forest. Unfortunately, she had long since lost her former appearance. If a mirror were placed before her now, she wouldn't recognize herself.
Li Xiaonan slowly approached Luna and cupped his fists in salute. "May I ask your esteemed name, senior? I will never forget the great kindness you have shown me."
"I... my name is... An... A Chou..." It wiped away tears from the corners of its eyes, and as it smiled widely, its expression only added to its grotesqueness.
Seeing him alive should make me happy. Those beautiful girls must be his wives; they look so blissful. If only I could return to my former self... If only I could stand by his side... How wonderful that would be...
"Thank you, A Chou Senior!" Li Xiaonan nodded.
Yun Moyu approached gracefully, a hint of fragrance trailing behind her, finally bringing some relief to Li Xiaonan's senses. "Xiao Nan, Ling Kui Sister..."
Li Xiaonan sighed and stepped aside, waving his hand to reveal the body of Ling Kui.
"Ling Kui Sister!" The women cried out in anguish, their faces etched with sorrow.
Li Xiaonan smiled faintly, but it was more painful than tears. His trembling hand caressed Ling Kui's body, tears silently falling onto the ring on her left hand.
Everything was unspoken.
"Boss! I'm back!" Chen Yaojin wiped his mouth as the dark mist surrounding him thickened, hinting at a trend that surpassed "Feeding the People with Mist."
He saw Ling Kui lying on the ground and gasped. Although he no longer needed to breathe, he whispered, "Boss... how about I go to the Underworld and bring back Sister-in-law's soul?"
Li Xiaonan shook his head with a smile. "What good would that do? Her body is completely destroyed; all that's left is a pool of blood. Humans and ghosts are on different paths. If I forced her to survive in the cultivation world as a Ghost Body just to keep her by my side, that would only harm her... In the end, it's still my fault!"
"Xiao Nan..." Yuan Xian'er frowned slightly but didn't know what to say.
Lu Nishang bit her lip and clenched her small fist. "Brother Xiaonan, think of something! Little Year died too, right? And it’s been several months since then. Didn’t you bring him back? You can definitely save Ling Kui Sister! As long as we fix Ling Kui Sister's body, I can put her soul back!"
Li Xiaonan shook his head helplessly.
Little Year Although dead at first, the body was intact. With a little modification, it could be revived, but Ling Kui... was left with nothing but skin. Even if it were to be remade...
Yes! Remade!
His lips twitched as he took out various materials from the Soul Ring, but his smile froze instantly.
What the hell! It's all stones and herbs—how am I supposed to save Ling Kui with this? This isn't going to create a flesh-and-blood body. Am I supposed to conjure up an Iron Man? Damn! This is completely different!
Flesh and blood? Ling'er is a dragon. In the Starry Illusion Continent Cultivation realm, there is only the Spirit Weapon that belongs to the Old Dragon. If I were to skin and dismantle my Father-in-law, maybe I could save Ling Kui, but if I really used such a defiant method, Ling Kui would probably die of anger upon waking.
A dragon! Where else in the Starry Illusion Continent can I find a dragon?
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath and sat coldly on the ground, every word from the 《Star Mirage Legend》 floating before his eyes.
To the north of Qinhuang Islands, shrouded in mist, lies the Underworld Demon Sea. It is said that beasts that die there do not truly perish; they transform into undead beasts, and the Demon Sea Supreme is ruled by the Black Dragon Jiao Wang.
Legend has it that he was once a Dragon Immortal from the celestial realm, but was framed and killed. His corpse fell into the Underworld Demon Sea, transforming into an immortal undead beast, unifying the Demon Sea, making it a realm within realms.
Li Xiaonan slowly opened his eyes, having made up his mind. This might be the last hope to save Ling Kui.
He formed a spiritual incantation in his heart and summoned Nine Phoenix.
“Little Jin, you take them back to Qingyu City. I have some matters to attend to!”
“No! Xiao Nan, we want to go with you!” Yun Moyu shook her head, staring intently at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan sighed and gently hugged her. "Don't worry, I will be fine. I will save Ling Kui. Just stay in Qingyu City and wait for me, okay?"
"But..."
Li Yanrong took Yun Moyu's hand and lightly patted it. "Mo Yu, let's listen to Xiao Nan. What we need to do now is to increase our cultivation..."
The mention of increasing their cultivation made the group of girls shiver slightly.
That's right! Only by raising their cultivation could they protect themselves and help Xiao Nan!
The girls nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute.
"Go on, Yanrong. Thank you for taking care of them," Li Xiaonan forced a smile and gently kissed her forehead.
With Ling Kui gone, Li Yanrong subtly became the eldest sister among the girls. She furrowed her brows slightly. "Xiao Nan, you don't have to force yourself to smile. We are the closest people to you; you can let go of everything..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Xiaonan tightly embraced her and burst into tears. The other girls quickly gathered around them, forming a tight circle. The warmth they shared temporarily soothed the wounds in her heart.
"Take care on your journey!" The girls waved as they set off on various magical tools toward Qingyu City.
After sending off Li Yanrong and the others, Li Xiaonan noticed Chen Yaojin silently standing behind her, an indescribable sorrow in her eyes.
"Why do you look so pitiful?"
"Boss... I... I'm sorry..."
Li Xiaonan waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "If we are brothers, there’s no need to say sorry. We can take a hit, but we must never apologize, especially since you haven't wronged me. I'm planning to take a trip to the Underworld Demon Sea to see if I can find a substitute for Ling Kui Flesh —the Black Dragon Jiao."
"Ni Zhi in the Seven-Level Pagoda is currently stable, but I'm worried that the Emissaries of Buddha's Power might not be enough. Keep an eye on him for me. If he can't be converted, just take out his Immortal Infant and eat it."
Chen Yaojin's expression was calm; without saying a word, he slipped into the Seven-Level Pagoda.
A wisp of divine sense lingered beside Ni Zhi, while the rest of the Ghost Power was used to mock Mo Changqing's remaining Immortal Infant.
I must intensify my training. Only with a strong fist can I help my boss; otherwise, I'll only hold him back! I want to become stronger! To be the most capable assistant for my boss!
From that moment on, Chen Yaojin set a grand ambition—to be someone above all others! Well, technically, a ghost...
Li Xiaonan sighed and looked around, suddenly stunned. The Ice Maiden was still sitting on the ground in a daze.
What a disaster! How could I forget her...
What should I do with her now? Should I take advantage of her first and then kill her? No way! That would be beastly! Or should I kill her first and then take advantage? That's even worse...
But if Mo Changqing dies, she would become a person without a master. Should I take her in?
The Ice Maiden was beautiful and had a good figure; her cultivation wasn't weak either. What a pity...
Once a thorn has lodged itself in someone's heart, it's not so easy to remove.
"Ice Sister..."
The Ice Maiden quietly turned her head to look at Li Xiaonan. A gentle breeze lifted her veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face, with two streaks of tears marking her cheeks, adding to her sorrowful expression.
"I... you should go. If you want to take revenge for him, I'll be waiting for you anytime..." Li Xiaonan scratched the back of his head, thinking it was better to let the Ice Maiden go.
A faint, bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Revenge? Why should I take revenge for him? What is he to me? And what am I to him? Are you trying to drive me away? Fine! I'll go! I'll go!"
She trembled as she stood up, wearing a smile while swaying unsteadily as she walked forward.
Tears fell like petals in the rain, and combined with her stunning beauty, Li Xiaonan's heart couldn't help but stir. He grabbed her hand.
"Ice Sister... I didn't mean it that way... I, sigh... why don't you come to Qingyu City instead..." Li Xiaonan said awkwardly as he looked at the Ice Maiden.
She smiled radiantly like a blooming flower and leaped into his embrace.
Li Xiaonan felt two soft masses pressing against his abdomen, causing his face to flush. He looked down at the person in his arms and helplessly reached out to gently pat her bare shoulder.
Her skin felt delicate and smooth to the touch.
He allowed her to hold him, only patting her shoulder lightly without any other actions.
She slightly raised her head and whispered, "I'll wait for you..." before turning and flying towards Qingyu City.
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly. "You wait for me..."
But this statement was not directed at the Ice Maiden; it was meant for the Ling Kui within the ring.
"Chirp!" With a clear cry, Nine Phoenix circled once before transforming into human form and landing gracefully.
Luna instinctively took two steps back.
"Boss, I'm here! Huh? What is that ugly thing? So disgusting..." Nine Phoenix raised an eyebrow in disdain, his red attire exuding an air of dominance and allure.
"Do not be rude! He is my benefactor."
Nine Phoenix was taken aback for a moment, then bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "Please forgive Little Jiu's rudeness."
Li Xiaonan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! I need to visit the Underworld Demon Sea."
He turned to Luna and added, "A Chou Senior, I have important matters to attend to. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
With a flash, Nine Phoenix transformed back into his majestic phoenix form.
Li Xiaonan leaped onto his broad back.
Luna stared blankly at their retreating figures, biting her lip slightly as her wings fluttered and followed in the direction of Nine Phoenix.
Raising his phoenix eyes, Nine Phoenix glanced back and said lightly, "Boss, do you want me to shake him off?"
"Stop!" Li Xiaonan didn't understand why A Chou kept following him, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity deep inside.
"Huh? Oh!" Nine Phoenix was startled and quickly hit the brakes.
A person and a bird hovered in the air, waiting for Luna behind them.
The intense movement caused the blisters on Luna's skin to burst, yellow fluid mixed with blood oozing out.
He gasped for breath, finally catching up to Nine Phoenix.
If it were the old me, I would have flown faster than that bird; now, I can barely keep up...
"Senior A Chou, may I ask where you are headed?" Li Xiaonan inquired with a bow.
In a hoarse and weathered voice, A Chou stammered, "I... I don't know where the young master is going."
"I'm heading to the Underworld Demon Sea."
"What a coincidence! I'm going there too!"
Li Xiaonan raised his arm to wipe away the nonexistent sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself: Can you be any more fake?
