The Sixth Book of the Sixth Chapter Breaking the Cauldrons and Sinking the Boats

  "Bang", the knocking sound was a bit jarring in the dead of night. The door wasn't locked, and there were no footprints on the dusty ground.

  Hearing the knock on the door, Sun Si Miao's shadow on the window paper seemed a bit stiff. He hesitated for a moment and didn't open the door immediately. "Who?" Sun Si Miao's voice sounded a bit nervous through the door.

  "It's me." - Me, I don't understand why I visited Sun Si Miao in the middle of the night, what kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd.

  The old mouse suddenly crouched down, staring intently at the medicinal herb garden in front of the door. He pulled out a few herbs and examined them, then dug up the nearby soil and excavated dozens of herbs with their roots intact. After carefully comparing them, his face revealed an extraordinary expression. I was quite surprised - could this digging expert have made another discovery?

  With a creak, the light poured out of the open door, casting a warm yellow glow over the dimly lit herb garden. Little White Rabbit hopped out, winking at me with its big eyes, and then swiped at Mouse Brother with its fluffy paws, sending him tumbling to the ground. Seizing the opportunity, it snatched the herbs from his hand and stuffed them into its mouth for a big crunch.

  "Sun's doctor's residence is quite lively, it's so late and there are still guests." I said with a hint of meaning.

  Sun Si Miao's face showed her usual arrogance, and she didn't respond. On the other hand, Xiao Bai Tu was very enthusiastic, constantly sticking out his tongue at me and smiling slyly.

  "I slowly said: 'Won't Dr. Sun invite us in to sit for a bit?'"

  Sun Si Miao said impatiently, "I don't have time to idle around. If there's nothing else, please leave, I need to rest." He pushed the door and was about to close it. I stuck my foot in the doorway and chuckled, "Why is Old Sun being so partial? Who is that noble guest inside? Could it be someone from Night Flowing Ice King's faction?"

  Sun Si Miao's face changed: "I don't understand what nonsense you're spouting! Get out, or else don't blame me for not being polite to you!" With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Dog leapt out and bared its snow-white sharp teeth at us.

  The old mouse straightened up and leaned over to whisper a few words in my ear. I was startled, and said in a low voice: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

  Old Mouse nodded in agreement, and a flash of insight struck me. Sun Si Miao, the mysterious black shadow, and the masked monster - there was an invisible thread connecting them. After a moment's thought, I smiled faintly at Sun Si Miao: "I never expected that the great doctor, apart from healing illnesses, is also skilled in digging tunnels. Now I understand - with Dr. Sun's personality, how could he have come all the way to Zhen Hua Valley just for a single Tai Qing Golden Elixir Pill? It turns out there was another purpose."

  "What did you say? I didn't understand a word." Sun Si Miao said with a stern expression.

  I gazed carefully at his changing expression, and I was even more convinced that my guess was not wrong. Holding up the few stalks of herbs handed over by Mouse, I asked calmly: "The herbs on this empty land are growing well, but only these few roots are withered to death. Does Dr. Sun know what's the reason?"

  Sun Si Miao was taken aback: "You also dare to discuss medicinal herbs with me? You overestimate yourself!"

  I ignored his sarcasm and continued to speak: "Because their roots were broken, they withered and died. But these medicinal herbs have deep roots in the soil, how could their roots be mysteriously broken? It's clear that someone has been secretly digging underground tunnels and accidentally damaged the roots of the herbs. How about it, Sun God Doctor, do you need me to continue?" I deliberately looked up at Meng Tan and said with a profound meaning: "The hour of the tiger has passed, perhaps King Night Flowing Ice is listening to our conversation."

  Sun Si Miao's face turned increasingly ugly, I pushed open the door with a loud creak. I plopped myself down in a purple embroidered chair and shouted: "Sun God Doctor! Can't you show some masculine elegance? At least offer me a cup of tea!"

  Sun Si Miao let out a cold snort and waved her hand. The little white rabbit handed me a cup of fragrant, steaming green tea and touched my floral skirt with its fluffy paws. Wow, this rabbit must be male, looking at its lustful expression, it probably really thinks I'm a beautiful flower spirit girl.

  I dodged the salty pig hand of Little White Rabbit, leisurely sipped a mouthful of tea, and glanced around with my eyes. On the small stove in the corner of the house, medicine was being brewed with a gentle simmer. The female demon on the bed occasionally turned over, letting out one or two painful groans. Sun Si Miao's medical skills were indeed impressive, as the female demon had originally been tortured by Ye Liu Bing to the point of losing all human form, but now she could move about. However, her entire body was still pitch black, making people feel nauseous at a single glance and unwilling to look again.

  In the room, there were only two people for sure. Where did that black shadow hide? I cast an inquiring glance at Gan Zhen, who shook his head slightly, clearly having found nothing.

  Sun Si Miao lowered his head to drink tea, ignoring me. I wasn't in a hurry to speak either. After half a day of stalemate, Sun Si Miao finally couldn't bear it: "What do you want from me?"

  I cleared my throat and said leisurely, "I'm not here to look for you. I'd like to meet the mysterious guest hiding in your house. Or maybe I can put it more specifically - a goblin who wears a mask, is good at digging tunnels and painting."

  Sun Si Miao's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed out. The subtle changes in her facial expression were all caught by me. I knew I was right, that mysterious black shadow was the Masked Monster! If it weren't for Mouse Gong Gong discovering the tunnel digging marks here, I wouldn't have even dreamed that the Masked Monster would be involved with Sun Si Miao.

  "You're here to deal with Ye Liu Bing!" I thundered, not giving Sun Si Miao a chance to catch her breath: "You took advantage of your medical skills to sneak into Mu Huang Yuan and secretly collude with the masked demon, thinking we wouldn't find out? But before you even arrived, the masked demon had already told us everything!"

  "Bang", Sun Simiao's teacup fell to the ground, her face turned iron blue: "Impossible, he absolutely cannot tell you!"

  The room fell silent, and I exchanged a glance with Gan Ningzhen and Hai Ji. Of course, I was just bluffing, but Sun Si Miao's response was self-incriminating.

  A low, mournful sigh rose from the bed, surprisingly coming from the half-dead female demon's mouth. "Old Sun, you've been deceived, she was just making wild guesses about you." The female demon slowly sat up from the bed, and with a wave of her sleeve, the lamp on the table immediately went out. The room was plunged into darkness, but the female demon suddenly opened her eyes, which shone with a fierce light in the blackness.

  I was stunned, Night Flowing Ice's wife wasn't on her last breath, how did she suddenly become so spirited? From the sound of it, she seems to be quite familiar with Sun Si Miao. Dammit, could it be that they're having an affair? Sun Si Miao came all the way to bury Flower Abyss, could it be that she's here to give Night Flowing Ice a green hat?

  The female demon's fingers poked out of her sleeve, and with a few casual taps, four red and green talismans lit up in the southeast corner. On them were painted the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise. The talismans shone brightly, and the Azure Dragon and White Tiger seemed to be swimming around inside, as if alive. The female demon said faintly, "The Four Spirits' boundary has been set up; now we can speak freely."

  My heart skipped a beat, this female demon's gesture of drawing talismans looked very familiar.

  "Little Flower Spirit, don't you recognize me?" The female demon's mouth seemed to smile yet not smile as she reached out and peeled off a face, revealing that it was just a lifelike mask. Underneath this face was actually a child's mask with a wide grin.

  Wow! Ye Liu Bing's wife turned into a mask demon in the blink of an eye! The two beauties and Mouse Gong were also stunned. My mind was racing, and I suddenly shouted: "Sun Si Miao took advantage of the opportunity to treat the disease, swapped Ye Liu Bing's wife with you, and the half-dead female demon would not arouse Ye Liu Bing's suspicion. At that time, no matter how you want to deal with Ye Liu Bing, it's up to you. Sun Si Miao, you're a doctor, but for personal gain, you disregarded medical ethics. Did you destroy Ye Liu Bing's wife?"

  "Nonsense! She's been put in the underground tunnel for recuperation!" Sun Si Miao said furiously, suddenly standing up and blocking the door. The Heavenly Dog made a move as if to pounce. I flashed my body and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gan Ningzhen and Hai Ji, rolling up my sleeves. I clenched my fist: "What? Want to kill us to silence us?"

  The masked monster waved his hand: "Old Sun, don't worry, since she dared to come to the door, she must have come prepared. Now that the hour of the tiger has passed, although I set up a forbidden boundary, making too much noise will inevitably attract the attention of Ye Liu Bing Di." He calmly said to me: "Little clever ghost, tell me your purpose for coming here."

  I burst out laughing and sat back in my chair with a swagger: "It's so much easier talking to smart people. My conditions are simple, you can go ahead and take care of Night Flow Ice, it has nothing to do with me. However, the time of action will be decided by me, and it must be the day after tomorrow. If you don't agree, that's fine too, I just need to keep my mouth shut. But if I were to blabber on and reveal your secrets to Night Flow Ice, that wouldn't be good."

  "A few days ago, you said you wanted to cooperate with me and deal with Ye Liu Bing together. Now, you're speaking as if you have nothing to do with it." The masked demon sneered: "You really are unpredictable."

  "You've got to adapt to changing circumstances." I smugly picked up my teacup, seeing the other person's meticulous plan, and knew they wanted to get Night Flowing Ice into trouble. Using someone else's knife to kill is of course better than doing it yourself, and in the future when Mo Sha Tian comes looking for revenge, he won't be able to find us.

  The masked monster's eyes rolled over: "I heard that the day after tomorrow is the wedding of Princess Huatian and Ye Liu Bingdi. You want us to take action the day after tomorrow, no doubt you want to ruin the big wedding. But on that day, you said you were going to save someone from prison. However, as far as I know, there are no flower spirits imprisoned in the dungeon." The tone suddenly turned sharp and severe: "Who are you? If you want to rescue people smoothly, don't interfere with our business. Once you provoke me, none of you will be able to leave alive, let alone rescue anyone!" The tone softened, speaking warmly: "Think carefully, one Ye Liu Bingdi is enough for you to suffer, why bother making another powerful enemy?"

  I secretly called him a ruthless hand, the old monster spoke briefly, and with a few words, he turned the tables on us. His tone was both soft and hard, and I wasn't intimidated at all. I immediately put on a smile: "Sir, you're being too serious, we're all smart people, if we fall out, it won't do anyone any good, it'll only benefit Ye Liu Bing."

  "That's right, everything can be negotiated!" The masked monster and I exchanged a glance, bursting into laughter at the same time. In my heart, I cursed: "Old fox!"

  "But, if you want to cooperate with us, you need some weight." The masked monster said lightly, giving Sun Si Miao a wink. Sun Si Miao let out a low shout, and the Tengu suddenly pounced on me.

  After talking for half a day, I still have to rely on my fists. My arm transforms into a shield and meets the heavenly dog's sharp claws without hesitation. Although Yuehun said that the heavenly dog is a divine beast, this small and insignificant dog I really didn't take seriously.

  "Boom", a shocking surge of power came, I was struck like lightning, my vision went black, and I was blown far away, landing on the flower rack in the corner of the house, with my internal energy churning non-stop. That little beast is so strong! Tian Gou took advantage of the momentum to launch a counterattack, pouncing over like lightning, his long snout exhaling hot air that almost sprayed onto my face.

  Hai Ji let out a cry, and the golden Pulse Slashing Knife rapidly chopped towards the Heaven Dog. The Heaven Dog didn't even turn its head, and with a swing of its sharp claws, it slapped the knife energy into pieces. I was both shocked and frightened, and I leapt into the air, performing the Enchanting Dance. My body flipped over, my legs spinning around, and with precision, I kicked the Heaven Dog's back.

  It received two heavy kicks, but the Tian Gou was fine. It turned its head and bit my skirt with its teeth. I took advantage of the situation and slapped it with a palm, the center of which was a bright white. I wanted to use the Taizhen Changsheng Yao Shu (a magical technique) to hit it back into its fetal form. "Bang", the center of my palm accurately hit the top of the Tian Gou's head. The Tian Gou let out an angry roar, its black fur standing on end, and its front paws scraped against my arm as they swept across, tearing open my sleeve with a ripping sound, revealing several bloody marks.

  I hastily retreated, almost startled out of a cold sweat. Had I made a mistake? Even the Taizhen Changsheng Yao Shu was ineffective against it! By my ear, Yuè Hún's lazy voice sounded: "Except for its nose, the Tiān Gǒu's entire body is as hard as gold soup, and no spell can harm it. This guy has innate divine power, and can even lift a mountain. Don't try to compete with it in brute strength."

  It's been a while since I've had to deal with this kind of thing, and you're telling me now?! I'm using my charming dance, dodging and weaving to avoid the heavenly dog's repeated attacks. This beast is too ferocious, its movements are fast, its strength is great, it's pressing down on me so hard I can barely breathe - no wonder it's a monster from the same era as Moon Soul. All I can do is stare tightly at its long snout and wait for an opportunity.

  In the midst of all this, I couldn't help but sneak a peek at the masked monster, who sat silently on the bed, sizing up Haizi and Gan Ningzi, no one knew what kind of evil plan he was brewing.

  The Tengu suddenly retreated, its four claws scratching the ground, its red nose emitting a dazzling light, its whole body trembling violently, its joints creaking loudly, and it let out three loud cries in succession.

  "Be careful, it's going to transform!" The voice of Yuè Hún became extremely solemn.

  Under my tense gaze, the Tian Gou slowly stood up on its hind legs, the dog hair on its face falling off and becoming smooth like a human face. The black fur all over its body was flat and covered, transforming into a suit of shiny black armor. Its front paws clenched into fists, turning into two round iron hammers. If it weren't for its hind legs still being dog legs, I would have thought the thing in front of me was a person.

  Chapter 5 (Part 2) of Volume 6: Burn the Boats and Sink the Ships

  Let out a roar, swung his iron hammer and struck it at me with all his might.

  "Wow, it can transform! Is it a monster or a divine beast?" I hastily retreated, the wind sound of the iron hammer was like thunder, shaking my ears.

  "Not all beasts can cultivate into demons. For example, the Tian Gou, even if its power is strong, cultivating for tens of thousands of years, it still cannot completely transform into a human form, and will always be a wild beast that cannot speak." Yue Hun's voice was tinged with a hint of sadness: "This is fate."

  I suddenly thought of Tsukumogami, this guy also didn't have a human form. However, the urgent situation in front of me made it impossible for me to think too much, and I could only rush around in exhaustion. The tengu's iron hammer swung wildly, creating countless hammer silhouettes all around, if not for Mai's dance-like dodges, I would've been smashed into a meat paste long ago.

  "Bang", the twin hammers of the Tengu clashed, like a thunderclap on a clear day, shaking my body out of control. "Bang bang bang", the twin hammers struck each other more than ten times, like a series of exploding thunderbolts, continuously striking me. In an instant, my mind went blank, as if I had suddenly lost consciousness. The Tengu swung its hammer and struck, sending a blue flash of lightning shooting out from the edge of the hammer, straight at my chest.

  The vast mist suddenly swept over, striking the lightning. At the critical moment when life and death were at stake, Gan Ning rushed out with his sword to block the attack for me. I came back to my senses, took advantage of the momentum, and spat out a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire. The flames grazed the tip of Tiangou's nose, causing it to howl in pain.

  "That's enough." The masked oni glared at Kanata, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. Son Shiyao restrained the tengu, which transformed back into a dog and slipped into Son Shiyao's sleeve.

  The masked monster paused for a moment, then said: "Your skills are not bad, you indeed have the qualifications to compete with Ye Liu Bing. You shouldn't be demons from Mo Xian Tian, right?"

  I panted heavily and said, "Forget who we are for now, can't we just have an open and honest talk?" In my heart, I knew that the old demon had let the Celestial Dog attack me in order to probe our depths. Since entering the Northern Territory, I've encountered many demons, but he's the most cunning one.

  The masked oni and Sun Si Miao exchanged a glance, dryly chuckling: "We've long been open and honest with each other, otherwise how would I have taken the initiative to appear? However, wanting to kill Ye Liu Bing, I don't have that ability, nor do you."

  "Is he really an immortal monster?"

  "It seems you've already explored Dream Pool. Hmm, you're also familiar with flight."

  My heart skipped a beat, and with just one sentence, the masked monster had grasped my several weaknesses. Facing such an old cunning fellow, I really need to be careful with what I say from now on.

  The masked oni continued: "You're right. Yoru no Kōri can't be killed because he's not a flesh-and-blood creature to begin with."

  Haixi shook her head decisively: "Since it's a living demon, how can it not be flesh and blood?"

  "In the entire Demon Realm, only a few monsters knew the true form of Ye Liu Bing. The masked monster stood up and walked slowly to the window, coldly laughing: 'The Monster King Ye Liu Bing is a monster born from the condensation of dreams.'"

  "I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth: 'Condensed from a dream? Are you kidding us?'"

  "The wonder of the world. Far beyond anyone's imagination. Do you understand?" Sun Si Miao glanced at me disdainfully, and the masked demon said calmly: "No matter how high or low a person's magical powers are, they will always dream when they sleep. Dreams are very mysterious things, desires in real life can sometimes be miraculously fulfilled in dreams. A life full of regrets may become perfect in dreams."

  I chimed in, "That's true. In the past, I was very poor, so I often dreamed of becoming rich overnight and drooling over a pile of gold ingots." Old Mouse also echoed, "I often dreamt of beating others until they ran all over the place."

  The masked monster suddenly lost his smile, and then said: "So from this point of view, dreams are the beautiful wishes deep in one's heart. For thousands of years, countless monsters' dreams gathered but did not disperse in the demon world, and after a long time, these dreams took on lives of their own and condensed into Night Flowing Ice. Dreams were originally ethereal and elusive things, so the Night Flowing Ice condensed from dreams would naturally not be flesh and blood either."

  I suddenly realized: "No wonder Ye Liu Bing likes to pursue perfection. It turns out that his true self is a dream!"

  "But dreams are ultimately just dreams, unable to replace reality, and can also be said to be the shortcomings of real life. So Ye Liu Bing was destined to be a tragedy. Ye Liu Bing is always pursuing perfection, because his heart is full of shortcomings. As for Ye Liu Bing's magic, he has three specialties: Ice Charms, Enchanting Fragrance, and the most terrifying Sleep Technique. He uses the Sleep Technique to make the female demon he married fall into a dream state and never wake up, forever maintaining what he calls a perfect posture." The masked demon's eyes were filled with hatred as it spoke.

  "I asked in surprise: 'How do you know Night Flowing Ice so well? Is it because of some deep grudge or hatred between you two?'"

  The masked monster said in a trembling voice, "Because... because." He couldn't say anything more. I was secretly puzzled. Can the old fox also be moved to emotion?

  "Because Ye Liu Bing is his junior, and the female demon who was hung half dead by Ye Liu Bing in the Burial Flower Abyss is their junior sister." Sun Si Miao let out a long sigh and patted the shoulder of the masked demon comfortingly.

  "What?!" I exclaimed. The news was too astonishing, more surprising than a sow climbing a tree - the masked demon and Ye Liu Xing were actually sworn brothers!

  The masked demon gazed out the window at the deep, dark night, as if lost in thought: "Ye Liu Bing's appearance is handsome, and he has always been liked by my fellow disciple. Although I had long warned my fellow disciple that Ye Liu Bing has married countless wives, with a heart as cruel and ruthless as can be. But my fellow disciple said that Ye Liu Bing was a pitiful demon, and insisted on marrying him to become his 97th wife, hoping to change his nature. She even said that I had a narrow mind and ulterior motives. Tell me, isn't my fellow disciple laughable? Isn't it fitting that she has fallen to her current state, with her appearance completely changed?" The demon threw its head back and laughed wildly, grasping the windowsill tightly with both hands, its veins bulging as the sturdy purple sandalwood windowsill crumbled like flour.

  I couldn't help but sigh, and I also guessed the feelings of the masked demon towards my junior sister. Needless to say, he came to avenge Night Flowing Ice. Gan Chen silently said: "Who made her like Night Flowing Ice"

  Even if the night is cold and icy, even if it's bad and poisonous, she still likes it."

  The masked monster was stunned for a moment, saying: "As early as many years ago, I wanted to deal with Ye Liu Bing, but the magic was always one line behind him. With no absolute guarantee, I didn't want to startle the snake. Since Ye Liu Bing surrendered to the Demon Master three years ago, the hope of revenge has become even more elusive."

  "So you let your junior sister suffer for so many years without caring."

  The masked monster spoke calmly: "If I make a wrong move, who will save my master's sister?"

  Ginger is indeed old and spicy, I secretly admire the masked demon, watching with open eyes as his loved one was tortured, yet he endured in silence. He's a ruthless character. I tentatively asked: "May I ask your esteemed surname and given name? Since you're from the same school as Ye Liu Bing, you shouldn't be some unknown minor figure, right?"

  The masked monster didn't answer, and continued: "Heaven doesn't abandon those who work hard. Ye Liuqing took the initiative to find Sun Simiao, finally giving me the opportunity I've been waiting for. Old Sun and I are sworn brothers, so he immediately told me about this matter. I quietly dug a tunnel near the Burial Mound of Flowers, leading directly here. When Old Sun arrived, I took advantage of his chance to treat Shifu's illness and switched places with her. You all already know these things."

  "I curiously asked: 'With your magical power of flowing ice at night, how did you not notice me digging the underground tunnel?'"

  "I'm only active between the hours of hai and zi. Besides, with my magical brush that brings flowers to life, I can deceive even the Night Flowing Ice." The masked monster stretched out its bare hand from its sleeve. In the darkness, the tip of its index finger dripped with colorful liquid, shining brightly with an otherworldly glow.

  "I've said all I need to say." He paused, narrowing his eyes, his gaze sharp as a needle: "Now tell me who you are."

  I let out a hearty laugh: "It doesn't matter who we are, the key is that everyone works together sincerely to get rid of Ye Liu Bing. But Ye Liu Bing isn't a physical body. Aren't we at a loss for what to do with him?"

  "How I deal with Ye Liu is my business. However, I can promise you that I will make a move on the day of the grand wedding in two days' time, provided that you all follow my arrangements."

  He also left a hand, not willing to tell the truth. It's really a headache to cooperate with such an old fox, and it's not good to be used by him as a gun. I looked at Haiji and Gan Ningzhen inquiringly, and Haiji said softly: "You are in charge." Gan Ningzhen nodded slightly.

  "Alright, it's settled then! Let's take action the day after tomorrow!" I thought for a long time and finally made up my mind to agree to his request. Without relying on the masked demon, we would have had a hard time rescuing Jū Danmei, so we might as well temporarily trust him.

  "A pact sealed with a high-five!" The masked oni raised her hand, and we high-fived to confirm our alliance. She then went around and high-fived each of the three mermaids, making a promise not to go back on their word. Sun Simiao watched this scene unfold before her eyes, a hint of a pleased smile floating onto her face.

  I suddenly felt a bit off. A burst of colorful light flashed before my eyes, birds chirping and beasts roaring, the four corner pillars of the house - azure dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and black tortoise - suddenly broke free from their seals and flew out, rushing towards me, Mouse Lord, Hai Ji, and Gan Zhen at a speed faster than lightning. The one that pounced on me was a white tiger, baring its teeth and claws, coming with great ferocity. I let out an angry roar, my fist secretly containing the Hun Dun Jia Yu technique, intending to strike the white tiger back into its symbol form.

  My fist had just touched the White Tiger, and in an instant, it transformed into a wisp of white smoke. It drilled into my palm, and in the blink of an eye, a tattoo of the White Tiger appeared on my hand. The color was very light, almost imperceptible to the naked eye. I felt a sense of foreboding, but all I could hear were the soft gasps of Hai Ji and the others. Mouse Gong and Hai Ji had respectively been imprinted with the tattoos of Zhu Que and Xuan Wu, while only Gan Ning was leaping about inside the house, lightly fluttering and shaking her head and tail as a green dragon chased after her relentlessly.

  "It's useless, you've already made a pact with him by hitting your palms together, and you're bound by the Four Spirits' oath. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you can't escape being possessed by the Four Spirits. Moreover, the Four Spirits have already secretly resonated with your spirits, so you won't be able to harm them." Sun Si Miao said calmly.

  Indeed, Gan Zhen's Three Thousand Weak Water Sword struck out, and the Green Dragon was pierced by the sword energy as if it were air, without a single hair being harmed. No matter how Gan Zhen dodged and weaved, the Green Dragon pursued him like a parasite on bone, relentlessly chasing after him. In the narrow space, I could only see two figures darting about like bullets, rapidly shuttling back and forth, making my eyes dizzy.

  "Good!" The masked oni couldn't help but applaud: "Such skills are top-notch even in the Northern Realm! However, no matter how powerful your magic is, it's still hard to dodge the Azure Dragon's possession."

  I was furious and indignant, bursting into a torrent of curses: "You treacherous, good-for-nothing old bastard! You shameless, sneaky hybrid! The moon is bright in front of the bed, I'll screw your mother! Your words are worthless, your whole family's guts are rotten!" The filthy language I'd learned since childhood poured out like a flood.

  The masked monster stared blankly: "I've lived for tens of thousands of years, and I've never seen anyone as good at scolding as you. The four spirits' possession is just to prevent you from breaking your oath, and it won't harm you in any way. After the day after tomorrow, the four spirits will automatically disappear." His expression turned solemn: "Young friend, our interests are the same, I absolutely have no intention of harming anyone!"

  The old fox seemed to be right, although possessed by the white tiger, I didn't feel uncomfortable. Gan Zhen suddenly let out a light sigh, standing still, the green dragon flashed into her jade palm like lightning. On her forehead, a faint fragrance had already begun to seep out.

  "Able to hold out against the Four Spirits for so long, you're the first. I suppose your reputation precedes you in the North." The masked demon scrutinized Gan Zhen deeply: "You can rest assured, as long as you don't go back on your oath, the Four Spirits won't erupt."

  Gan Ning's expression was indifferent, not saying a word. Hai Nu directly called him despicable. I hated it so much that my teeth were itching, but now, I can only endure his control. As for him, no wonder the old fox was willing to hand over his grudge with Ye Liu and Bing Qing. It turned out that he had already made preparations long ago.

  Until now, the masked monster slowly and carefully told his planned plan. In the dark, staring at his cunning and flashing eyes, I suddenly realized that this monster is more terrifying than Ye Liu Bing!
