"Yes, and I died during the Ghost Festival," Xiao Xuanxuan replied, a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Yan Xi, Yan Xi," Mu Xuanche and Bai Qiling burst through the door.
Seeing Mu Xuanche and Bai Qiling arrive, I immediately felt a surge of joy; I had finally waited for them to come!
Xiao Xuanxuan's eyes widened in anger, her originally narrow and enchanting eyes now round as saucers. "How could you escape my illusion so quickly?! This is—"
Her words abruptly halted as if she realized that what she was about to say was a taboo. She quickly clamped her mouth shut, refraining from uttering the rest.
At that moment, although Mu Xuanche, Bai Qiling, and I all sensed something was off, I was bound and unable to think about what might be unspeakable.
From the moment he entered, Mu Xuanche saw me tied up with the Binding Rope of Immortals and instantly erupted in fury. How could someone he cared for be treated this way by a female ghost?
Without hesitation, he formed a hand sign, and a blinding orange light shot toward the Binding Rope of Immortals around me. I thought that the rope would loosen under Mu Xuanche's spiritual power, so I struggled a bit. However, to my surprise, it didn't budge at all.
I knew how powerful Mu Xuanche was; my own spiritual power paled in comparison to his. It was natural that I couldn't break free, but I couldn't believe that even Mu Yan couldn't undo this rope.
How could Mu Xuanche possibly regard such a trivial thing as the Binding Rope of Immortals? Yet here we were; he had failed to unravel it.
Grinding his teeth in frustration, Mu Xuanche refused to accept defeat and increased his spiritual output once more.
A denser beam of orange light shot toward the Binding Rope of Immortals.
What was going on? Why was this happening?
Mu Xuanche widened his eyes in disbelief as he saw me still bound. His heart raced with anxiety.
At that moment, Bai Qiling suddenly spoke up, "Mu Xuanche, stop using your spiritual power. I've observed that this Binding Rope of Immortals has some tricks to it. The more spiritual power you exert, the more it absorbs to strengthen itself. Simply put, we absolutely cannot use our spiritual power. From my judgment, whatever you use to attack this Binding Rope of Immortals, it will absorb that as well!"
Hearing this, Mu Xuanche shot a fierce look at Xiao Xuanxuan, who unexpectedly covered her mouth with her hand painted in red and laughed with a bright voice.
"Hahaha, Brother Bai really knows his stuff! With such a quality man around, I, Xiao Xuanxuan, would feel sorry for myself if I didn’t pull you down to keep me company."
Bai Qiling mocked her with a smile, "Sister Xiao has her own tricks too. Pretending to call the boss to invite us out for dinner, but it turns out she set this up and was waiting for us here. One can't say she lacks cunning!"
After a pause, the sarcasm grew thicker. "If I, Bai Qiling, don’t send the beautiful Sister Xiao off to reincarnation, I’d feel sorry for her affection towards Bai."
Mu Xuanche remained tense and silent.
Xiao Xuanxuan's eyes widened slightly, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. "Brother Bai thinks too highly of me. I, Xiao Xuanxuan, am not someone who enjoys setting traps for others. However, I’m a smart person; I know how to seize opportunities. As for reincarnation, you needn’t worry about that, Brother Bai. My affection for you is something you can certainly handle."
I keenly caught onto Xiao Xuanxuan's mention of "seizing opportunities." What opportunity? Could it be that today’s lunch gathering was real and that Boss Wang truly called us? But where is Boss Wang now?
Thinking of this made me ask, "Xiao Xuanxuan, since you're seizing opportunities, then Boss Wang must be in your hands now. What have you done with him?"
Xiao Xuanxuan heard my question but didn’t respond; instead, she turned to Mu Xuanche. "Look at your girlfriend; she’s only known my Junfeng for a short time and is already concerned about him. Tsk tsk. I know my Junfeng is excellent; you better keep an eye on her. My Junfeng is rich, considerate, and doesn’t put on airs—how many women are envious?"
Her words ignited my anger. "Do you think everyone is like you? Just because you see someone and fall in love doesn’t mean that's the case for me! I'm concerned about the safety of our client! Excellent and considerate? How long have you enjoyed that?!"
Xiao Xuanxuan, who had been feeling quite pleased with herself and even dared to provoke my relationship with Mu Xuanche, suddenly had her eyes turn crimson after hearing my words. Xiao Xuanxuan was furious!
As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized I had made a grave mistake.
I shouldn't have provoked Xiao Xuanxuan when our side was at a disadvantage. My actions shattered the previously calm situation, and with a swift motion, Xiao Xuanxuan unleashed a brilliant red beam of blood towards me.
Mu Xuanche couldn't rush over in time and had no choice but to quickly summon the Devouring Blade and throw it to block the attack while moving swiftly toward me.
The Devouring Blade glimmered with a ghostly blue light, clashing against the vibrant red beam of blood.
The Devouring Blade was a top-tier magical artifact! How could a mere Vengeful Spirit spell compete with it?
Before long, the vivid red beam was visibly consumed by the Devouring Blade at an astonishing speed. Xiao Xuanxuan pursed her lips, and dark golden symbols began to appear around her eyes.
I watched as she rapidly formed hand seals, her speed so fast it was dizzying.
At that moment, Mu Xuanche and Bai Qiling had already reached my side. Bai Qiling stood in front of me, holding the Asura Chains brought by the burly man in a defensive stance, while Mu Xuanche wielded the Devouring Blade and aimed a strike at Xiao Xuanxuan, who was still forming her hand seals.
Mu Xuanche didn't use any spiritual power for this strike; he feared that Xiao Xuanxuan might absorb his output like the Binding Rope of Immortals did.
The physical lethality of the Devouring Blade was unmatched by ordinary artifacts or weapons. This strike wasn't meant to harm Xiao Xuanxuan but rather to interrupt her hand seal formation. The complexity and speed of her hand seals exceeded Mu Xuanche's expectations; it was clear that this technique was not simple!
Mu Xuanche's considerations were thorough, yet even with such careful planning, he couldn't stop the power of Xiao Xuanxuan's hand seals.
Mu Xuanche couldn't believe his eyes as his Devouring Blade was deflected back at him.
At that moment, Xiao Xuanxuan had already completed her hand seals. With a swift motion, she spread her hands apart and pushed toward the three of us.
A Dark Golden Barrier surged forward, adorned with countless dark patterns and symbols that shifted chaotically as the spiritual energy within it flowed.
As the barrier approached, we realized we had no means to resist it, for it bore a striking resemblance to the Binding Rope of Immortals.
We found ourselves cornered in a space of about ten square meters, trapped by the encroaching barrier.
Xiao Xuanxuan smiled triumphantly, pleased with her success.
However, it seemed that this barrier had drained her of nearly all her spiritual energy, leaving her looking somewhat weak.
Suddenly, a pink figure appeared at the entrance—an enchanting girl wearing a Pink Princess Dress with a hairpin in her right-side hair!
Bai Qiling recalled that this girl had helped them in an illusion and assumed she was friendly. He called out loudly from within the barrier, "Sister, you should leave quickly; this is not a place for you."
To his surprise, the girl merely smiled politely without responding to Bai Qiling's words and continued walking toward the entrance.
She approached Xiao Xuanxuan leisurely, tilting her head and gazing into Xiao Xuanxuan's sparkling eyes. "You're running late. Time outside isn't on your side. Stick to the plan and don't make any random changes. Hurry up and take care of your matters; otherwise, the adults will be angry."
What?!
I, Mu Xuanche, and Bai Qiling looked at the girl in surprise. So they were all in cahoots?
"Sir... who is this person?" It turned out that Xiao Xuanxuan indeed had a hidden backer, and judging by the current situation, this person was quite unfathomable.
The girl casually raised her hand and injected some spiritual energy into the barrier. In an instant, the dark golden runes began to flow even more vigorously!
It seemed she was using her spiritual energy to reinforce this strange barrier.
Xiao Xuanxuan showed no signs of being upset by the child's criticism; instead, she slightly bent forward and said, "Understood. Please inform the sir that I will handle it soon."
To my astonishment, Xiao Xuanxuan actually held this girl in high regard. Who exactly was she? I widened my eyes in confusion.
