The four of them started arguing about who she was, and suddenly turned to glare at Qinger: "You tell us, who exactly are you?"
Huh? Xiang Xueer blinked in confusion and glanced at Lian Cheng Xue, answering with a frown, "Hehe! I, I am Gui Bian, and he is Exorcism!"
"You see, I told you it was Gui Bian and Exorcism," Skin and Bones said proudly, extending his hand with a smile. "Come on, everyone give me two silver coins; three people together make exactly five taels." After saying this, the three of them reluctantly began to pull out their silver coins.
What? Two silver coins from each person, and three people make five taels? Qinger shook her head in disbelief: My goodness, this IQ! A normal person wouldn't be able to figure that out!
She was waiting for them to finish quickly so she could get out, but unexpectedly, they soon started arguing again over the silver coins. How long would she have to wait for them to finish?
In the end, Xiang Xueer couldn't hold back any longer. "Are they going to argue forever? It's almost dawn! I'm a ghost now; if I go out, I'll turn to ashes!"
Yes, that was the most critical point! Xiang Xueer simply took out several shiny silver coins from her pouch and tossed them to the four of them. "I say, gentlemen, could you please let me out first? You can count the silver later, okay? Or I can just give you all my silver now."
The four of them turned to look at her, their eyes lighting up instantly. They happily stuffed the silver into their clothes and eagerly opened the big red door together.
A smile finally appeared on Xiang Xueer's face. It's great to have money! She sighed inwardly; people say money can make ghosts push the millstone. I think it's more like money can make the millstone push ghosts!
She and Lian Cheng Xue finally walked out of the Underworld's big door. As soon as her tense emotions relaxed, she felt a wave of comfort wash over her. The few people who had been anxiously waiting outside rushed out from behind the trees when they saw someone coming out.
Duck had sharp eyes; even though the person was dressed as a Ghost Messenger, it recognized Xiang Xueer immediately and hugged her leg excitedly: "Sister, you finally came out! I've missed you so much!"
Xiang Xueer patted Duck's head with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry! I came out safely, and Lian Xiong is with me too; look!"
"Huh?" Li Yunyang focused his gaze and realized that this Ghost Messenger was actually Lian Cheng Xue in disguise. He shook his head with a smile: "You're something else, Dead Girl! We were worried sick here, and you just put on some makeup and brought him back."
"By the way," Qingtian said as he stared at her round belly with confusion. "What happened to your stomach? It didn't seem this big when you went in!"
Xiang Xueer chuckled and pulled up her skirt; an AK-47 was strapped around her waist. "What kind of Ghost Messenger carries a gun? If I don't hide it away, won't it give me away?"
"Hahaha!" Ling Zhu covered her mouth and burst into laughter, "Haha, I thought you were pregnant! How could it be so quick? You just went in for a day!"
Li Yunyang, Qingtian, Lian Cheng Xue, and Duck all stared at her with wide eyes. Seeing this, Ling Zhu quickly shut her mouth, "What’s wrong? It was just a joke, wasn’t it funny?"
"Boring!" Duck rolled his eyes at Ling Zhu, "Ling Zhu, don’t make jokes like that anymore. My sister can only have children for me."
"Who wants to have children for you!" Xiang Xueer’s forehead bulged with veins as she swung a fist at him, "Nonsense! Let’s hurry back to the inn; it would be troublesome if that Black Wuchang comes after us!"
Ling Zhu looked up at the sky, "You're right, it's almost dawn. We need to quickly bring Lian Cheng Xue's soul back to life. Let’s go!"
The group quickly returned to the inn. Lian Cheng Xue walked into the room where his body lay and turned to Ling Zhu, nodding, "I’ll enter the body now; I’ll leave the rest to you!"
"Don't worry!" Ling Zhu nodded confidently. Once Lian Cheng Xue's soul entered his body, she clasped her hands together and poured all her inner strength into him. Ten colorful little orbs appeared in the air, swirling around him.
"This is Lian Xiong's three souls and seven spirits," Lan Ran Qingtian said as he watched the colorful beads circle around before entering Lian Cheng Xue's body.
Ling Zhu was already sweating profusely but finally smiled as she saw the corners of her mouth lift. Xiang Xueer walked over and asked, "How is it?"
Ling Zhu nodded, her expression slightly pale as if she had used a lot of energy. The two women stared intently at Lian Cheng Xue, whose eyes were tightly closed. They noticed that the glaring wound on his chest was slowly starting to heal.
Li Yunyang was overjoyed. In no time at all, Lian Cheng Xue's wound completely healed, and the pale color of his face gradually returned. He slowly opened his eyes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lian Cheng Xue reached out to touch his chest and smiled. Xiang Xueer helped him sit up, "How does your body feel now?"
"Mm!" He nodded and stretched his limbs. He never imagined that someone could come back to life after dying; he probably just took a two-day trip to the Underworld.
"Ling Zhu, are you okay?" Duck looked nervously at Ling Zhu sitting nearby, her face looking very pale. The others quickly approached her. Xiang Xueer frowned and asked, "Hey, are you alright?"
"I'm fine; it seems I need to rest for a few days!" Ling Zhu forced herself to stand up, "I used a lot of spiritual energy. I’ll go rest now; just call me if anything happens!"
Xiang Xueer supported her back to her room and said, "Just rest; you've really helped with Lian Xiong's situation!"
"There's no need for such polite words; he is also my companion!" Ling Zhu replied, causing Xiang Xueer to smile knowingly. "Yes, it's great to have companions!"
After sending Ling Zhu into the room to rest, Xiang Xueer stood at the door, unable to calm down for a long time. She placed her hand on her chest, determined that the Witch inside her must not come out again and harm the people she cared about.
She needed to expel the Witch from this body as soon as possible. However, before that, she couldn't be around Li Yunyang and the others anymore. She looked through the crack of the door and saw several smiling faces. It seemed she had to keep her distance from them for now!
Returning to her room, Xiang Xueer packed her belongings and quietly left the inn. She didn't know when this ticking time bomb within her might harm everyone; she had to deal with the Witch before she could return to her friends.
With that thought in mind, she headed towards the summit of Sky Beyond Mountain. Her next goal was to find the Lizard Spirit and force the Witch out of her body completely!
As she made her way up Sky Beyond Mountain, Xiang Xueer prepared to search for the Lizard Spirit in a cave. Before she could reach it, she heard intense fighting nearby.
What was going on? Xiang Xueer quickly hid behind a rock wall. Sure enough, in front of the Thorns, two figures were fiercely battling it out. She focused her gaze and saw one was a Heart Demon, while the other was an elderly man with a white beard.
Who was this person? He had an ethereal presence. Xiang Xueer stared at him for a while, feeling like she had seen him in a TV drama before. After a moment, she slapped her palm: "Ah, Supreme Old Lord! Haha!"
"Feng Qingyang, what do you want?" Heart Demon glared impatiently at the old man in front of him. Xiang Xueer looked at him in astonishment: "Ah, no wonder he has such an imposing aura; he is the leader of the Holy Ten Exorcists and Li Yunyang's master."
"Hmph! Demon, once I deal with you, I will go seal that Demon Lord!" Feng Qingyang had no intention of engaging in nonsense with them and raised his hands to prepare for a powerful move: "Exorcism Essence: Crimson Lotus Dragon Flame Fireball!"
