Chapter 22: Predestined Encounter

  Tang Bing Xue stared at me for a while before asking: "Is knowing the answer really that important?"

  "If I didn't know, it would be a knot in my heart. Although I don't know if I will continue to live after resurrection, I don't want to guess what every day." I still stick to my own thoughts.

  "Alright, I'll tell you!" Tang Bingxue frowned and said to me, "The incident eight years ago gave Wang Xiaoya eight years of ghostly power. Over the years, she has absorbed the yang energy of many people, including Zhang Bao and Wang Hui's. If she adds yours to that, she will become extremely formidable. As for the nine-tailed fox mentioned by Wupo, once it appears, it will necessarily look for you. If it can't find you, there will be a massacre of living spirits. Relying on Wupo's power alone is probably not enough, and my master, Jiuquan Daoist, won't help."

  At this point, I felt a little sad and asked Tang Bingxue: "Do you want me to be a scapegoat? Save them first and then let the two of them kill me?"

  "Of course not!" Tang Bingxue said to me with a bit of helplessness and anger, "You really are an idiot, if I wanted you to be a scapegoat, why would I bother rescuing you like this?"

  "But didn't you just say that earlier!"

  Tang Bingxue sighed and said to me, "It's too tiring to talk to you, this stupid melon. Alright, I'll tell you straight out - you're not an ordinary person, or else Wang Xiaoya would have gotten rid of you long ago. You have both yin and yang energy in your body, and if I put it in a more mystical way, you're spiritually connected. What I want is for you to come back to life and join us in dealing with the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit and Wang Xiaoya. Is that clear enough this time?"

  "Am I possessed?" I wondered...

  "Yes, eight years ago it was also because of the three of you that caused trouble. Suffered the revenge of the nine-tailed fox spirit, resulting in the earthquake three years ago where everyone in the village died, and now those people are all gone. And you, out of redemption, should help too. Moreover, a big beauty like me comes to save you every day, can't you be a little moved? Once the nine-tailed fox spirit comes out, it's really unimaginable what will happen. Since I'm a Taoist cultivator, I should take on the responsibility, and since you're a medium, you must have some special abilities."

  Tang Bingxue is really a quick-witted person, she told me the pros and cons of things clearly. Moreover, what she said actually made me have a hint of longing, I nodded to her and said: "I believe you Bingxue, but what puzzles me is that I won't be able to cast spells either, and my courage is quite small, how can I become a medium?"

  "Ability can be inspired, but for specific things, you have to ask the witch. I don't have that ability yet, so I won't waste words with you now. You choose: either resurrect or continue being a discarded ghost between the yin and yang realms."

  Tang Bing Xue had her hands clasped behind her back, staring at me with an expression that was as serious as could be!

  If one's IQ is above average, they would choose to be reborn, and I'm no exception. I said to Tang Bingxue, "Of course, I'll choose to be reborn. As you said, the calamity was caused by me, and thanks to Miss Tang's repeated rescues, whether it's for redemption or responsibility, I should choose to be reborn."

  Tang Bingxue smiled at me and said, "You still have a conscience, since that's the case I'll help you resurrect. Before that, let me tell you something. This time, resurrecting you took a lot of effort on my part, so you'd better cherish it."

  Then I stood on one side as Tang Bing Xue said, waiting for her to cast her spell...

  She first took out some white candles from her body, surrounded my corpse in a circle, muttered to herself, and slowly approached that body of mine. At this time, several gusts of wind blew up, all of which were small whirlwinds, I don't know if it had anything to do with her spellcasting.

  At that time, I was still wondering what she wanted to do. But when her mouth approached the lower jaw of my body, I understood that she was going to give me a deep kiss again. When she approached my flesh and blood mouth, she spat out something like an incantation from her mouth and kissed it onto mine.

  Being kissed by a beauty is a delightful thing, being forcefully kissed by a beauty is an exciting matter. Tang Bingxue has done both to me twice, yet I haven't enjoyed it even once. This really is quite unfortunate.

  After sending the talisman into my mouth, she started sitting cross-legged with her legs and shouted: "Where is Zhao Xiaolong......"

  At this time, my body involuntarily began to approach my flesh, her mouth continued to shout the same words, my soul was forced by a strong force to go back into my body!

  As I approached her location, she grabbed me with both hands and slammed me heavily to the ground.

  I don't know how long it's been, maybe a long time or perhaps just a brief moment. I slowly opened my eyes to see Tang Bing Xue smiling at me. I quietly pinched my skin and indeed felt pain.

  "Have I really come back to life?" I looked at Tang Bing Xue with some incredulity.

  "Of course!" Tang Bing Xue felt a surge of joy, but looking at her face, it didn't look too good. It was very pale and helpless, you could tell that she had no strength left.

  I immediately got up and touched the wound on my forehead, and there was still fresh blood. I asked Tang Bingxue: "Are you sure you're okay? But your face doesn't look too good."

  "It's alright now. The result of the spell I cast earlier won't cause any harm, you'll be fine after a rest. What I restored was your state after being hit, so that means you're human now."

  Tang Bingxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to me, although she didn't say it outright, but I could tell that this time she had really exerted herself.

  "It's hard to say, but I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have already died, been trapped in the hidden town, or perhaps been taken away by your master, Jiuquan Daoist, and become one of his ghosts."

  My current mood is a completely different feeling, I've only heard of rebirth after death but never seen it before, and now it's actually happening to me. Without any hesitation, I directly knelt down on both knees and paid respects to Tang Bingxue.

  Tang Bingxue helped me up at this time, smiling and saying: "Are you proposing again? Stop messing around and get up quickly, I still have something to say to you."

  "Uh-huh!" I nodded.

  She let out a soft sigh and suddenly changed her serious expression, saying to me: "The two realms of yin and yang, the Taoist arts and witchcraft, the cultivation of ghosts and spirits. The departed souls and spirits involved in this are particularly numerous. Now, if I say too much, you won't understand it anyway. You will gradually come into contact with these things later on. But what I want to tell you is that abilities have no limits; they all surpass one another like mountains. Humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters are all the same in this regard. Although you possess the conditions for spiritual communication, you still don't possess this ability. Therefore, in the days ahead, you must slowly come to understand it. Also, don't mention to anyone that I was the one who saved your life and brought you back from the dead. You must promise me this."

  "I promise you, I've taken note of all these, but just teach me slowly and I'll learn from you well in the following days."

  Tang Bingxue shook her head and said to me, "This won't do, I have to return to Master Jiuxuan Daoist's side. What I just told you was my parting gift. I can only help you regain your yang energy, the rest is up to you."

  "Snow, you're not kidding me, are you? Look at myself?"

  "Yes, look at yourself, first find the witch, this is the most important thing, my ability is shallow, I can only help you return to the world of the living. The rest of it, you still need to find her to understand, also now you have become an ordinary person, you must follow the laws of the yin and yang realms. And don't mention to her that you died before, nor say that I saved you."

  Suddenly becoming so proper, Tang Bingxue still has a lot of style, but what she said is making me feel a bit helpless. I thought we were going to be together, but in the end, I was abandoned by her again. Is it destined that I will always be alone?

  "Alright then, Ice Snow, I'll go find the witch as you said. But when will we meet again?" Although it was a bit helpless, but could only say so to her.

  Tang Bingxue smiled slightly and said to me: "This is hard to say, maybe it's very short or very long, depends on fate."

  "Alright, I hope we have a good connection from now on, so tell me your contact information, what's your phone number?"

  Tang Bingxue burst out laughing at this moment and said to me: "Have you ever seen a cultivator use a phone? My contact information is that those who are destined will meet."
