"Hey," Wang Niu said with a hint of helplessness as he glanced at Ruoxi, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart.
The child looked at them and spoke up, "Alright, Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Queen of Heaven, stop talking and come with me to a place."
Wang Niu and Ruoxi were taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Okay, we'll go with you."
Upon hearing their response, the child beamed with joy, nodded at them, and then walked ahead.
After walking for a while, Ruoxi's expression grew increasingly troubled. Wang Niu noticed this and quickly supported her, asking, "Ruoxi, are you alright?"
Ruoxi smiled at Wang Niu and replied, "I'm fine. But what about you? Why does your face look so pale? Didn't I give you a Protective Pill?"
Wang Niu was momentarily stunned and touched his own face. Was his complexion really that bad?
The child walking ahead heard their conversation and turned to look back at them. "What's wrong with you?"
Ruoxi furrowed her brow, glanced at Wang Niu, and then told the child, "It's nothing. Just keep going."
The child looked at them curiously but shook his head and continued walking. Ruoxi's gaze returned to Wang Niu as she placed her hand on him. She asked, "Do you want me to transfer some energy to you?"
Wang Niu shook his head; he had the protection of the great dragon and should be fine.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" Ruoxi still felt uneasy.
Wang Niu firmly replied, "No, I'm fine, Ruoxi."
With a sigh, Ruoxi said to him, "Alright then. If you start feeling unwell, make sure to tell me immediately."
Wang Niu nodded and continued to follow the children. After walking for a while, he suddenly noticed something strange about their surroundings. He turned to Ruoxi and asked, "Ruoxi, where are we?"
Ruoxi paused for a moment, looking around. All she could see were trees, and hanging from those trees were heads.
"This is Turning Back Cliff," Ruoxi replied.
"Turning Back Cliff? What kind of place is that?" Wang Niu's confusion deepened.
Ruoxi thought for a moment before explaining to Wang Niu, "Turning Back Cliff is the first gateway to the Underworld. Although we have already entered the Underworld, there are still some things we need to be cautious about. Do you understand?"
Wang Niu nodded, grasping the main point of Ruoxi's words. He then asked her, "What should we be careful about?"
Ruoxi pointed at the strange objects hanging from the trees and said to Wang Niu, "Do you see those heads? If one of them turns around to look at you, do not meet its gaze. You are different from us; you are a mortal. If those heads manage to absorb your Yang Qi, it will be troublesome."
Wang Niu felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
He nodded at Ruoxi and said, "I understand. Don't worry."
Just as they were speaking, a sudden chill swept through the air in front of them. Ruoxi seemed to sense something and immediately warned Wang Niu, "Be careful, something is coming."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Niu heard a sound and said to Ruoxi, "Is it those heads?"
No sooner had he spoken than the heads that had been facing away from them all turned around. Wang Niu quickly covered his eyes, and at that moment, Ruoxi reached out her hand to shield his eyes.
At that moment, a child approached them. The child paused in surprise and looked at Ruoxi and Wang Niu with confusion. "Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Heavenly Empress Sister, what are you doing?"
The child was very puzzled.
"Everything's fine," Ruoxi sighed in relief and continued speaking to the child, "By the way, is there any way to transfer these Heads?"
The child paused for a moment before replying to Ruoxi, "Yes."
Soon, a mass of black mist appeared in the child's hand, instantly shrouding all the Heads. Ruoxi took a deep breath and said to the child, "Thank you. Otherwise, your Heavenly Emperor Uncle might be in trouble."
Upon hearing this, the child's expression shifted from confusion to surprise as they asked Ruoxi, "Queen of Heaven, has Heavenly Book Uncle encountered some trouble?"
Ruoxi nodded at the child and said, "Yes, he has run into a serious problem. It could be quite severe."
The child's face showed a hint of worry as they looked at Ruoxi. "So, you can't tell anyone, okay? If you talk about your Heavenly Emperor Uncle, it could be fatal."
Suddenly, the child's complexion turned pale as they responded to Ruoxi, "Okay."
At that moment, a mournful voice echoed in their ears.
Ruoxi froze and looked at the child, asking what was happening.
"Oh no, it's the Wicked Woman imprisoned in hell!" The child's face went white as they quickly ran ahead.
Ruoxi sensed a dangerous aura and didn't dare to stay still. She immediately grabbed Wang Niu and started running. Before long, they were following closely behind the child.
"What happened?" Ruoxi asked.
The child's expression grew more serious.
"It's like this: this Wicked Woman was captured in hell by my parents. Previously, she had done terrible things to harm others. If she manages to escape from hell again, it would definitely be dangerous."
The child continued to quicken his pace.
Wang Niu paused for a moment before saying to Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, let's hurry up. Maybe we can catch her before that Wicked Woman comes out."
Ruoxi nodded and replied to Wang Niu, "Alright, don't worry. We won't let that Wicked Woman out."
Before long, they gathered at the entrance of Hell.
At that moment, something strange was happening at Hell; black mist swirled in front of the door.
"Oh no," suddenly, the child's face turned pale.
Ruoxi furrowed her brows and asked the child, "What's wrong? Is the Wicked Woman coming out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud explosion erupted, and the entrance to Hell was blown open.
The child's expression worsened.
"Oh no, the Wicked Woman is out!" The child's face turned grim.
"What should we do?" Wang Niu began to panic.
The child looked at Wang Niu and said, "Heavenly Emperor Uncle, I heard my father say that you have a dragon's power. Can you summon it? As long as the dragon can suppress the Wicked Woman."
Suddenly, an evil female voice echoed in their ears.
"Hehe, I, Xi Wushuang, have finally come out. You all shall die!" At that moment, a mass of black mist appeared before them, and then a woman stepped out.
Only then did they see the woman's face clearly. She was incredibly beautiful, but there was an aura of wickedness about her.
"Be careful," Ruoxi warned Wang Niu and the child.
Wang Niu and the child nodded at Ruoxi. They noticed that the woman's speed was astonishing; in no time at all, she stood before them.
The woman's gaze first shifted from the child to Ruoxi. When her eyes landed on Wang Niu, he felt a shiver run through him. For some reason, he sensed something very strange about her presence.
"What's wrong?" Ruoxi noticed Wang Niu's unease and communicated with him telepathically. Wang Niu was taken aback and looked at Ruoxi in confusion. Her words echoed in his mind, and it was then that he realized that voice truly belonged to Ruoxi.
Wang Niu shook his head. At that moment, the woman's gaze became meaningful. "I didn't expect the Heavenly Emperor to end up like this."
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Ruoxi's face turned pale. How could this woman know Wang Niu's true identity?
Wang Niu was equally taken aback by the woman's words. Observing the expressions on Wang Niu and Ruoxi's faces, the woman smirked and said, "However, you will both die here today."
With that, a cloud of black mist surrounded Wang Niu and Ruoxi. For a moment, Wang Niu felt a surge of anxiety. He nudged Ruoxi and asked, "Ruoxi, what should we do now?"
Ruoxi glanced around and noticed the pervasive black mist emanating from the woman.
She closed her eyes, and suddenly a strange scent wafted into her nose. When she opened her eyes again, it seemed she had come up with a plan.
"I know what to do."
As soon as Ruoxi finished speaking, Wang Niu saw her rush toward a certain direction. At first, he had no idea what lay ahead, but as time passed, he caught sight of the woman's figure.
Wang Niu quickly understood what was happening when he heard the woman's piercing scream.
Then, he felt an intense heat radiating from his body as the giant dragon emerged.
In that instant, the black mist surrounding him dissipated.
Suddenly, for reasons unknown to her, the woman fell to the ground just as the giant dragon charged toward her.
"No! This is impossible!" The woman's words barely left her lips when she saw the dragon rushing at her.
In an instant, the dragon passed through her body.
The woman let out a wretched cry as she found herself with a massive hole torn through her torso by the dragon.
Her complexion turned terrifyingly pale.
At that moment, a child managed to break free and quickly ran to Ruoxi and Wang Niu's side. "Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Queen of Heaven, are you alright?"
Wang Niu and Ruoxi shook their heads at the child, saying, "It's okay, don't worry."
After that, the child's expression turned particularly grim.
This left Wang Niu momentarily stunned. He quickly turned to Ruoxi and asked, "What happened to this child?"
Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment before placing her hand on the child's forehead. Instantly, her brow furrowed, causing Wang Niu to feel a growing sense of concern.
Could it be that the woman's appearance had caused the child to be harmed?
He gently moved the child. "This is not good."
Ruoxi looked at Wang Niu and said, "Yes, his condition is very bad. Just now, the woman released a large amount of dark energy, which is harmful to children. It goes without saying that he must have inhaled this dark energy. To save him, we must extract the dark energy from his body; otherwise, this child will be in serious trouble."
Wang Niu was momentarily stunned and immediately picked up the child. He turned to Ruoxi and said, "Let me handle it."
Ruoxi's face showed some hesitation because Wang Niu's pallor earlier had made her very worried. If something went wrong while extracting the dark mist from the child's body, it could be dangerous.
But with her current strength, she couldn't do it well either.
She could only nod at Wang Niu and instructed him to stop immediately if anything felt off during the process.
Wang Niu acknowledged her with a nod. Just then, Ruoxi seemed to sense a strange feeling slowly entering her body.
Ruoxi was suddenly stunned, looking at Wang Niu in disbelief.
"Wang Jun, you..." In an instant, Ruoxi felt the power from Wang Niu's hand continuously flowing into her body. Wang Niu smiled and said, "You were protecting me before; now it's my turn to protect you."
After Wang Niu's words, Ruoxi's heart suddenly filled with joy.
"Alright, but everything must prioritize your health," Ruoxi said to Wang Niu.
Wang Niu nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Good."
Then, Wang Niu began to transfer his energy to Ruoxi. After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Wang Niu's forehead.
At that moment, Ruoxi noticed something; her heart suddenly trembled, and she quickly pushed Wang Niu away.
"Wang Jun, what are you doing?" Ruoxi's tone carried a hint of anger.
Hadn't they agreed on this before? Why was Wang Niu still acting this way?
Wang Niu looked at Ruoxi, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He said to her, "It's nothing; I still have Dragon's Guardian."
Ruoxi shot him an annoyed glare, but when she thought about how Wang Niu was doing this for her sake, she immediately softened. "How am I supposed to talk to you about this?"
Ruoxi felt helpless and finally said to Wang Niu, "I'll save him."
With that, Ruoxi took the child from Wang Niu's hands and immediately began to absorb the dark energy surrounding the child.
Wang Niu felt a deep sense of guilt as he watched Ruoxi. His heart ached for her.
If only he were stronger, Ruoxi wouldn't have to go through this.
"Ruoxi, if it gets too much for you, just tell me. Don't push yourself," he said to her.
Ruoxi nodded in response and then said to him, "I understand."
After a while, the black mist surrounding the child was completely absorbed, which instantly put Wang Niu at ease.
Ruoxi let out a deep breath.
Soon, the child slowly woke up. He looked at Ruoxi and Wang Niu and asked, "What happened to me, Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Queen of Heaven?"
Ruoxi sighed and explained the situation to the child. His face turned pale as he listened. After a moment, Ruoxi's gaze remained fixed on him. "Haven't you been practicing again?"
The child froze for a moment upon hearing Ruoxi's words, then awkwardly chuckled and said, "Hehe, it seems Queen of Heaven found out."
Ruoxi felt helpless and gently patted the child's head. "You can't do this anymore. Look what happened just now; you were in danger. What would happen if it were to happen again?"
Hearing Ruoxi's words, the child lowered his head in shame.
"You must practice diligently," Wang Niu added, also patting his head.
"Okay, Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Queen of Heaven, I will definitely practice hard," the child replied earnestly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruoxi and Wang Niu reached out their hands and pulled him up.
"Alright, let's leave for now."
"Mm-hmm. By the way, Queen of Heaven, Heavenly Emperor Uncle, is that Wicked Woman really dead?" the child asked curiously.
His gaze shifted to the large hole nearby.
At the same time, Ruoxi and Wang Niu looked over as well. They nodded at the child and said, "Yes, that wicked woman has been dealt with."
The child was momentarily stunned by the words, but then immediately burst into cheers.
Ruoxi looked at the child helplessly and said, "So now, are you going to take us to see the soul we are looking for?"
Upon hearing this, the child quickly nodded and said, "Sure! I'll take you to see it right away."
With that, the child led them to a peculiar place.
It was a strange area, surrounded by greenery, which puzzled Wang Niu. In front of them was a massive pool of water, its surface a vivid green. Additionally, many dark shadows swayed within the pool, deepening Wang Niu's confusion.
"What is this place?" he asked, looking curiously at the child.
The child turned back to meet Wang Niu's gaze and replied, "This is the Soul Pool. The Underworld is different now; those Wandering Souls are drawn into this pool."
Wang Niu found the child's words quite strange. He looked at the child and asked, "How do you know this?"
Ruoxi, hearing his question, glanced over and explained to Wang Niu, "It's not about how he knows; it's just how it is."
Feeling somewhat awkward, Wang Niu chuckled and said to Ruoxi, "So are we going down there to search for Uncle Chen's soul?"
Ruoxi nodded in response and said, "Yes, I sensed that Uncle Chen's soul is down there."
"Really?" Upon hearing Ruoxi's words, Wang Niu immediately descended into the pool.
Seeing this, Ruoxi followed him down.
"Wang Niu, with so many souls here, how do we find Uncle Bai's soul?" Wang Niu asked Ruoxi.
Ruoxi paused for a moment before responding, "I don't know either. But Wang Jun, we can rely on our inner feelings."
Wang Niu felt a bit helpless and nodded, deciding to follow Ruoxi's words and began searching.
At that moment, Wang Niu suddenly sensed something and quickly turned around. He saw a shadow flash before him, seemingly the spirit of Uncle Chen.
Wang Niu was overjoyed and hurried towards the spirit, but just as he reached out to grab it, the spirit vanished inexplicably. Then, many more shadows appeared in front of him, causing him to tremble with excitement. He shouted to Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, just now, I saw Uncle Chen's spirit!"
Upon hearing his words, Ruoxi rushed over and asked him, "Wang Jun, what did you just say?"
"I said I saw Uncle Chen's spirit! It just passed right by me," Wang Niu exclaimed, his expression filled with excitement. This left Ruoxi puzzled. She looked around and noticed that there were many spirits nearby, but none of them carried the aura of Uncle Chen. This made her heart uneasy. She said to Wang Niu, "Wang Jun, you must have seen it wrong. I didn't sense Uncle Chen's spirit at all."
Wang Niu grew anxious upon hearing this. He shook his head at Ruoxi and insisted, "No, I really sensed it! Uncle Chen's spirit went that way," pointing in another direction.
Ruoxi followed his gaze.
At that moment, a child approached them, looking at Ruoxi and Wang Niu. "Heavenly Emperor Uncle, Queen of Heaven, what were you talking about just now?"
Wang Niu recounted what had just happened to the child. The child paused for a moment before replying to Wang Niu, "Yes, Heavenly Emperor Uncle, you weren't mistaken; that was indeed what you were looking for."
As soon as the child's words fell, Ruoxi was taken aback and her face lit up with excitement. She asked the child, "Is what you just said true?"
The child looked ahead, and suddenly his expression became quite complex.
