"Transaction?" The Lizard Spirit couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly, scrutinizing the man before him. This person not only refused to show his true face, which naturally indicated a fear of being recognized, but dared to come to him for a transaction, surely he must have reliable information.
Seeing that he still hesitated, the Masked Man spoke directly, "I think you already know the whereabouts of the Witch's soul, but you certainly don't know where her body is hidden by the Demon Lord."
Body? The Witch's body? The Lizard Spirit's eyes widened in surprise. Yes, the Demon Lord had separated the Witch's soul from her body many years ago. He had searched for over a hundred years to find the location of Jing Yue's soul, but he had no idea where the Demon Lord had hidden her body.
If he could find Jing Yue's body, then the Witch's soul residing in Xiang Xueer's body could return to her original form. The Lizard Spirit felt a surge of excitement, even unable to hide the thrill on his face.
"What do you think?" The conditions offered by the Masked Man were indeed very tempting, but the Lizard Spirit remained cautious and asked, "Why should I believe you? Unless I see Jing Yue's body with my own eyes, I won't agree to any terms!"
"Hahaha!" The Masked Man let out a few cold laughs, turning around and waving his hand, enticing the Lizard Spirit to follow him. "Fine, but you should think carefully; my conditions are not that simple!"
"Hmph!" A cold light shot from the corners of the Lizard Spirit's eyes. "As long as it can bring Jing Yue back to life, I will agree to any terms!"
A sinister glint appeared in the Masked Man's eyes as they left Tianshan Peak one after another.
That night, the area around the inn was quiet. Xiang Xueer lay in bed listening intently when suddenly she heard a soft creak from the door of the room across from her. Alertly, she rolled out of bed and walked to the door, peeking through the crack.
She saw Ling Zhu push open the door and glance around mysteriously. After confirming that no one was watching, he quickly left the inn and headed towards the outskirts.
Sneaking out in the dead of night must mean something was up. Xiang Xueer followed closely behind; she was determined not to let Ling Zhu escape tonight.
Ling Zhu walked towards a ruined temple in the outskirts and disappeared inside in an instant. Xiang Xueer observed her surroundings and hid at the entrance of the ruined temple. Surprisingly, there was still light inside at night. Turning her head, she immediately recognized a familiar figure.
It was indeed Heart Demon. Hmph! This lady guessed correctly; Ling Zhu is one of Heart Demon's subordinates. At this moment, Ling Zhu knelt on one knee before Heart Demon and reported, "Master, the princess is no longer in danger; everything is under your control!"
"Well, Ling Zhu, you did well this time!" Heart Demon said, "I will recommend you in front of the Demon Lord. When the Demon Lord returns to the world, you will surely be reused."
Ling Zhu shook her head vigorously, pleading, "Master, Ling Zhu doesn't want any reemployment; I only ask you to return my husband to me. Please!"
Husband? Heart Demon captured Ling Zhu's husband to force her to serve him. No wonder Xiang Xueer cursed inwardly, "This despicable Heart Demon is truly shameless!"
Heart Demon fixed a cold gaze on the desperately pleading Ling Zhu and sneered at her, "Ling Zhu, I once told you that it's best not to make too many demands; otherwise, you will never see your husband again in this lifetime!"
Ling Zhu clenched her fists tightly and slowly stood up. "Heart Demon, I have done everything you asked me to do, but you have no intention of releasing my husband!"
"You are right!" Heart Demon let out a chilling smile. "It seems that after being my subordinate for a few days, you have learned quite a bit! Hahaha!"
This foolish woman, negotiating with a demon while expecting honesty. Xiang Xueer couldn't help but shake her head; she deserved it for bringing this upon herself. Just as she was about to leave, an unexpected dramatic scene unfolded in the Ruined Temple.
Ling Zhu took a step back, pulled out the Luring Demon Pot from her waist, aimed it at Heart Demon, and shouted, "In that case, I will kill you first and then go find my husband myself!"
"Oh? That depends on whether you have the ability!" Heart Demon maintained its calm demeanor but its expression darkened as it glanced at the Luring Demon Pot in Ling Zhu's hand. "Where did you find this?"
"Bai Ling Mountain!" Seeing Heart Demon's expression change, Ling Zhu realized it was somewhat afraid of this artifact and boldly shouted, "Heart Demon, hand over my husband and spare your life!"
"Hmph! You dare threaten me!" A wave of Killing Intent appeared on Heart Demon's gloomy face. "Ancient Artifact: Luring Demon Pot. I didn't expect you to find this. However, do you think having it means you can defeat me? Dream on!"
Wow, what an intense battle! Xiang Xueer leaned against the windowsill and peeked through the gap. Ancient Artifact: Luring Demon Pot—what exactly is it? It seems like a very powerful treasure.
The battle situation suddenly became somewhat unpredictable. Xiang Xueer pursed her lips and became excited, murmuring, "Will Heart Demon win, or will Filling win?"
"I bet on Filling!" A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her. Xiang Xueer turned around to find Li Yunyang had somehow followed her, nearly causing her heart to leap out of her throat.
Wow, scaring someone to death! When did this guy come over? Xiang Xueer quickly covered his mouth with her hand and whispered, "How did you follow me here?"
"Mmm mmm!" With his mouth blocked, Li Yunyang made muffled sounds before pulling her hand away. "You two sneaking out at night made me worry, so I followed!"
"Cut it out! You're worried about Filling, aren't you?" Xiang Xueer retorted angrily, still upset about what had happened earlier. Li Yunyang's face turned red with anxiety as he pointed at the moon with two fingers. "Do you still not believe me? I am wholeheartedly devoted to you! I said it a thousand times that day at Cloud Summit!"
Xiang Xueer suddenly recalled their passionate kiss at the mountaintop that day. In a moment of weakness, she had kissed this brat who was even younger than her. Truly, one misstep could lead to eternal regret.
She sighed inwardly. It seemed she had indeed been feeling a bit desperate lately; without a man's company in her life, things were tough. It was as if she was being forced into abstinence.
Just as she was thinking this, a fierce battle broke out in the Ruined Temple. Ling Zhu faced off against Heart Demon. They quickly turned to watch the two fighters. Ling Zhu opened the Luring Demon Pot in her hands and aimed it at Heart Demon. At the same time, vines shot out from her sleeves and wrapped around Heart Demon's arms.
Heart Demon’s eyes twitched violently as the wind from the Luring Demon Pot swirled furiously, seemingly trying to suck Heart Demon inside. Suddenly, Heart Demon moved swiftly, and the ropes binding its arms fell to the ground; it had vanished without a trace.
Ling Zhu was startled and wanted to turn around to find Heart Demon's shadow. However, before she could react, a figure appeared before her. With a swift motion, a jade flute struck the back of Ling Zhu's neck with a loud crack.
"Ah!" Ling Zhu screamed in agony and immediately knelt on the ground. The Luring Demon Pot fell from her hands and rolled away as she froze in place, as if her entire body had gone numb.
