It was raining heavily outside, and snow-bright snake-like lightning tore through the night sky, instantly rendering the earth white. Lightning illuminated the entrance of the cave, reflecting in the Bai Mei’s jade like eyes.
She looked at Wu Rong with a dazed gaze, fear and terror still covering her face like maggots on a corpse. She had been immersed in a dark nightmare for too long, the torment, pain and despair made her gradually forget everything, filling her heart with hatred and making her fall completely into the darkness. When Wu Rong looked deeply into her pupils, her jade-like gemstone eyes were beautiful but lifeless.
Just like a baby elephant that was restrained since childhood, even if it grew up to have the strength to break free from everything, it would still be tied by that rope. Bai Mei had worked hard and prayed, but in the end she found that she’d never be able to break through and be completely free. There was no future and no way forward. Her life was torn apart by the torment. Even though they had left the Zhou Family Mansion and the prison, she felt that everything was unreal, like in a dream.
She had imprisoned herself, as long as there was no longer any hope, she would not be hurt anymore.
“You are already dead.”
Wu Rong said slowly. He saw her pupils suddenly constrict, her face becoming even more frightened, ghostly pearl-colored tears rolling down her cheeks. Wu Rong’s tone was still not the slightest bit moved, but his calm and cold face had a calming power. Bai Mei gradually stopped her tears, looking at Wu Rong sadly yet with a glimmer of hope, and listened carefully.
“You are dead, you are free.”
In fact, Bai Mei was imprisoned when she was still alive, and she was not at peace after her death. But when she heard Wu Rong say this, a trace of cautious joy appeared on her face. Maybe it’s because she fantasized about death countless times while she was tortured. To her, death was an easier word than life.
Wu Rong’s strength was a little low, and Yin Qi was rampant in his body. After realizing that it could not break through Wu Rong’s body, the Yin Qi began to blend into his body. This was another unbearable pain, as if thousands of sharp needles were piercing every muscle and blood vessle in his mortal body. Even his breath smelled bloody. He didn’t have much patience anymore and tightly pursed his thin lips, turning his head in Zhou Jin’s direction: “He is your living child, your baby.”
“Baby, my baby…”
Bai Mei seemed to have regained some sanity, her eyes became clearer and she was still a little apprehensive when she looked at Wu Rong, but there was something more in her. That was the nobleness hidden deep within her bones. Even if they fall into the abyss of cruelty, some people could still retain their inherent nobleness. Bai Mei, who was raised by the church since she was a child, still had a pure and clear temperament, like a gem that had been cleansed of dirt and shone once again.
“Police… officer… Thank you, thank you.”
She murmured. The circles of her eyes were red and her lowered eyelashes couldn’t hide the sadness in her eyes. She looked at Zhou Jin who was unconscious and her sight blurred, as if she was looking at another person through him.
“Baby, my baby.”
“My baby…”
At this moment, Bai Gu, who was always on guard with Wu Rong, looked out of the cave, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said in a low voice, “Look, cousin!”
“Fu-daozhang came!”

Did Fu Qing come? Wu Rong didn’t remember revealing his whereabouts. Then why did Fu Qing, who was supposed to be in the Seven Treasures Buddhist Hall, come here?
Did he notice Bai Mei or his Ghost Qi, or was he chasing someone? Wu Rong held Bai Gu’s hand firmly, signaling him to leave the cave now. People from the police station might come soon. If they found out that they were with Bai Mei and Zhou Jin, it would be very hard to explain. The entrance of the cave was narrow and had an upward slope. If Wu Rong and Bai Gu wanted to leave, they had to pass through Bai Mei.
“Baby, my baby.”
Bai Mei murmured softly, her tone full of tenderness and love. It was only then that Wu Rong realized that she had hugged Zhou Jin in her arms at some point, hugging his upper body like a baby, coaxing him in a low voice, and patting his back with a soothing hand. Wu Rong felt something was wrong when he saw it. Zhou Jin’s lips were white and his face was dark, as a human, being hugged by the resentful ghost Bai Mei showed that his Yang energy was exhausted.
When Yang Qi is exhausted, people will soon die. Wu Rong’s eyes were sharp and he saw a strong Yin Qi emerging from Zhou Jin’s chest, in pieces, like newborn wings. But Bai Mei didn’t notice it, she still hugged Zhou Jin and hummed an unknown foreign song. This was a holy and pure requiem that could bring souls back to peace.
“Quick.”
His heart shrank, as if it had been stabbed by something. An inexplicable and weird sense of solemnity came from the depths of his soul, and Wu Rong immediately ordered Bai Gu. The two stepped over Bai Mei one by one. Bai Gu wanted to push Wu Rong out of the cave first, but it was too narrow for the two men to move. Wu Rong pushed Bai Gu away, leaning on the wall to stand firm.
Without wasting any time, Bai Gu got out immediately and turned to pull Wu Rong. Wu Rong had an unsteady support, when he reached out to grab Bai Gu, his body swayed and when he was about to fall, a hand held onto his shoulder, allowing Wu Rong to regain his footing.
Wu Rong was about to use Bai Gu’s force to go out, but he was stunned for a moment when he raised his head. Bai Gu was in front of him, holding on to the rock wall with one hand and pulling Wu Rong’s hand with the other.
The hand supporting Wu Rong’s shoulder came from behind.
The hand that held Wu Rong’s left shoulder was not big, but it was icy cold.
“Sir”
The English that came from behind was pure and authentic, with a standard pronunciation and so melodious it was indistinguishable from man or a woman’s voice. It was holy and ethereal, like children singing together in a cathedral’s choir. The drawn-out tone became lighter at the end, silky and light like a feather.
Although the voice was almost identical to Bai Mei’s, Wu Rong was extremely sensitive to changes in voice and immediately noticed the strangeness.
This was a young girl’s voice, not Bai Mei’s.
Bai Gu didn’t feel the danger and he pulled Wu Rong with all his might. But Wu Rong’s body suddenly became heavy, and he remained motionless as if he was filled with lead.
“Cousin?”
Wu Rong couldn’t respond, the bone-piercing coldness had quickly spread from his shoulders down to his whole body, and the restless Yin energy in his body was instantly frozen. This feeling was different from their initial meeting with Bai Mei in Zhou Xinhong’s study. Wu Rong’s soul trembled, and it was the first time that he felt a sense of horror and danger that made his scalp tingle and his hair stand on their ends. The God of Death seemingly came at this moment, and the sharp sickle that brought death pressed down on his throat.
A girl’s melodious chuckle sounded, and Bai Gu finally realized something was wrong. Without letting go of Wu Rong, he decisively raised the shaman’s staff with his other hand, biting the tip of his tongue so it was about to spurt blood. But in the next moment, his whole body was stiff, as if he had been turned into a stone statue by Medusa’s gaze. The scarlet lotus pattern crawled up his face like it was alive, and two blood lotus flowers bloomed under his left and right eyelids.
The Yin Qi, which was so strong that it was solidifying, suddenly struck, instantly intensifying the blood lotus pattern on the back of Bai Gu’s neck! And Wu Rong’s whole body was in the center of the Yin Qi’s impact. The thick black Yin Qi condensed and thickened to the point of suffocation, completely engulfing the two like a swamp, invading Wu Rong’s body in an instant.
It wasn’t Bai Mei, it was definitely not Bai Mei who brought this feeling!
“God bless you“
The ethereal female voice sounded behind him again and a boundless pressure from terror descended, the crisis of death enveloped him, piercingly chilling! The Zhong Gu screamed in fear and frantically sounded an alarm in Wu Rong’s mind. But now Wu Rong was completely unable to move as if he had been frozen, and even his consciousness had become rigid, making him unable to even summon the Big Ghost. That extremely cold Yin Qi seemed to be able to cut off their contract, and Wu Rong could no longer sense the Big Ghost.
If he could longer rely on external forces, then he must save himself. Move, move quickly, move quickly, Wu Rong gritted his teeth and tensed his whole body, but the irresistible and terrifying pressure of death still ravaged and spread all over his body. Such a powerful, irresistible force not only froze his body, but also oppressed it. The fear would make people involuntarily admit defeat and beg for mercy, becoming a slave to fear.
But the strange thing was that Wu Rong wasn’t afraid, especially when the cold reached from his body to his soul; his anger far outweighed his fear in the dark. In the depths of his soul, it was as if a lazy beast was sleeping and as it was awakened by the breath of a powerful enemy, it angrily roared. The strange yet familiar cold power was gestating and growing in the depths of his soul, as if something was about to break through the shackles of his soul. Backlashing when being impacted by external Yin Qi with evil intentions.
Boom!
The deafening thunder and the explosive sound of Yin Qi colliding exploded at the same time, and the thick Yin Qi pervading Wu Rong’s body was swallowed up in an instant. The soaring energy and overly full feeling made Wu Rong feel that the energy in his body had reached its peak, and it was as full as a balloon that had been inflated to its limit, like it was about to overflow.
Puff.
Wu Rong’s fingertips suddenly ignited a cold and dark flame.
When the flame ignited, the depths of his ocean of memories surged, and it seemed that fragments of memory that were dusty for many years passed by. But Wu Rong couldn’t care less. The instant the flames ignited at his fingertips, all the dense Yin Qi around him was swept away. He regained control of his body, and immediately drew out the old Miao saber and slashed at the palm that was on his shoulder. When it released its grasp, Wu Rong stepped out of the cave with one step, harshly looking back with his saber in hand.
He faced a pair of indifferent pupils gazing down, one black and one white.
The cave should have been dark and dull, but ‘Bai Mei’s’ eyes were shining. The black and white filaments protruding from Zhou Jin’s chest enveloped the mother and child like gorgeous wings that were constantly growing. The terrifying and cold Qi was coming from Zhou Jin’s chest. Where the black and white filaments were intertwined was a small and delicate shape slowly emerging. An imaginary image of a dual color music box.
In the moment it appeared, the flame at Wu Rong’s fingertips swayed faintly like a dying candle, almost extinguishing. The boundless powerful threat of death came from the music box. ‘Bai Mei’ held it up from Zhou Jin’s chest. The black and white music box and her monochrome eyes were strangely bright.
It was remains of Saintess Vivian!
The current Bai Mei was not Bai Mei, she had been controlled by the spiritual body inside the relics!
Who’d have thought the relics of Virgin Vivian were hidden within the bodies of Bai Mei and Zhou Jin, among which there was even a spiritual body!
Wu Rong’s body swayed slightly, and the pain and fatigue seemed to accumulate to the extreme, rendering him to become unconscious. The cold flames burning at his fingertips drained all his strength, and his body, which was plagued by Yin Qi, could no longer bear any more. The cold flame grew fainter and swayed dimly. In the weak firelight, the black and white filamentous energy gushing from the music box suddenly surged, eager to swallow Wu Rong
It seemed to understand that Wu Rong was an arrow at the end of its flight, and a hint of mockery appeared in its black and white pupils, like a predator playing with its prey, it leisurely waited for Wu Rong to perish.
But the next moment, she saw Wu Rong’s trembling hand wield a saber, cutting a bloody wound on her left arm.
Dingling
A crisp bell sound suddenly rang out from nowhere, and ethereal bloodstained clothes fluttered in the air. The tall and indifferent bloody figure became as clear as an ink painting, and he grabbed Wu Rong from behind, with a grand yet indifferent aura, like a demon king descending into the world.
The author has something to say:
Wu Rong and the Daytime Empress playing poker later on:
The Daytime Empress: I will present the resentful ghost Bai Mei
Wu Rong: I will create the hidden Ghost King Wu Rong, tube.
The Daytime Empress: I have created the Virgin’s spiritual body, bomb!
Wu Rong [throws the Big Ghost card in bloodstained clothes]: Rocket!
