The formerly eerie and expressionless face shattered, revealing a truly horrifying visage…
No… perhaps it couldn't be called a face! The entire head was covered in countless pained expressions – shock, terror, fear, agony, despair, resentment, anger… numerous faces with differing emotions, gathered in small, dense clusters on Salen’s face, disgusting and hideous!
“Ah!! You slut, how dare you… I’ll kill you!”
Jin Bao’er, who had just been struck, lay on the ground, weak and sweating profusely from the pain. Yet, her will to survive wouldn't let her pass out. The spiritual energy within her quickly soothed her pain, but it couldn't immediately restore her.
Seeing Salen roaring in rage, clutching his face, she disregarded everything else. She struggled to get up, her body aching severely!
In that very moment, both of them had attacked simultaneously. Her objective was to tear off Salen's mask, to expose his carefully concealed side to everyone… the ice blade had directly slashed through Salen’s facial mask, revealing the unknown beneath.
“Boom!!”
Countless eyes on the faces suddenly opened, searching for Jin Bao’er’s location. The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage spread wildly, shaking the surrounding ghost cultivators to the point they couldn’t even muster the strength to flee!
Then, in the next second, all the tiny eyes fixed intensely on Jin Bao’er’s position, filled with immense malice and killing intent!
Jin Bao’er didn't hesitate, having already turned to run, but was stopped by the oppressive pressure, falling from mid-air and kicking up dust! Before she could even feel the pain in her body, an extremely cold aura rushed towards her. Instinctively turning her head, she met the gaze of a face covered in densely packed small expressions, which now uniformly displayed a bizarre smile…
“Found! You!”
Her heart seized instantly, freezing her in place! Her blood ran cold! An indescribable, eerie sensation overwhelmed her.
Following this, a disgusting laugh reached her ears. She felt a sharp pain in her neck as she was lifted directly into the air!
The pain on her face became clearer, and a deathly feeling of her soul about to vanish flooded her mind…
Was she going to die? This time, she’d truly disappear, wouldn’t she?
With hollow memories! A contract she didn’t remember! Revenge half-fulfilled…
So be it. Su Xianzhi was destined to suffer in the ghost realm, and Lou Yun, having lost his beloved, would live a life worse than death. She had, in a way, avenged her past life! Death… didn't seem like much anymore!
Gradually, she stopped struggling. Her eyes closed gently, allowing the other to begin absorbing her power…
Vaguely, she seemed to hear a sharp cry, accompanied by the roars of demonic beasts, engulfing everything!
It was familiar, but she couldn't recall it! She probably didn't know them, her consciousness was already fading…
Salen’s gloomy gaze swept towards the sky. He seemed to sense that astonishing power and accelerated his absorption of her energy. The moment he finished absorbing it, he would devour her soul along with her, making her one of the countless expressions on his body…
The phoenix and tiger in the sky, having sensed that familiar spiritual energy fluctuation, were already excited. Sensing the power gradually vanishing, their hearts filled with worry. With a roar, they charged with all their might!
At this moment, Salen frowned, looking at Jin Bao’er, who had lost all resistance. For the first time… he had absorbed so much soul power, and for the first time, he encountered such a situation! This woman’s power seemed inexhaustible; just as he was about to finish absorbing it, a surge of spiritual energy would suddenly emerge…
What exactly was she? How could she possess such terrifying power?
No one noticed the transparent jelly clinging tightly to Jin Bao’er's back…
Only when the two threatening auras in the sky were about to descend did Salen finally realize something was wrong. He slammed Jin Bao’er heavily onto the ground…
“Ouch… it hurts, it hurts!”
A childish cry of pain came from behind her. Salen finally saw the jelly that was gradually becoming visible. The most prominent pale pupils on his face revealed a strange understanding.
“Heh, it’s you? So it was her who sneaked into the Ghost Crystal Mine!”
He hadn't noticed the Demonic Ghost Flower earlier, thinking Jin Bao’er had dispersed his gray mist with her own spiritual energy. Only now did he finally realize.
The jelly landed and transformed into a little girl, rubbing her backside. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes, but she held them back, her eyes red as she glared at Salen…
Big sister said no crying! She wouldn't cry!
But it hurt so much! Her little bottom felt like it had split in two! Wuwu… Big sister is so heavy! The mean man is so fierce, so scary! And so ugly!
In less than three seconds…
“Waa!! It hurts so much! You ugly, ugly bad person! My bottom hurts! Wuwu… Baby is going to die!”
She couldn’t hold back any longer! Her innocent and heart-wrenching cries instantly echoed through the surroundings, stunning everyone who was still alive…
How many years had it been since the ghost realm had seen a child? This little doll looked no more than five years old, her aura almost imperceptible. Yet, she could completely disregard the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage and throw a tantrum on the ground…
Couldn’t they see they were all pinned to the ground, unable to move!
Salen, seeing this, became extremely irritable and scolded her harshly.
“Shut up! If you keep crying, I’ll lock you up again, and you won’t come out for thousands of years!”
His words instantly stunned the little girl. Tears still clung to her lips, and her large black and white eyes were filled with astonishment! Then she asked, confused…
“Thousands of years… how long is that?”
Although Jin Bao’er's consciousness was fading, she could still hear the sounds around her. With Salen no longer draining her power, she quickly regained consciousness. As her eyes slowly opened, the first thing she heard was their conversation!
For a moment, she felt like laughing but couldn't.
Salen grew furious, his ghostly aura intensifying!
“Thousands of years is like five times the duration of your previous confinement!”
Upon hearing this, the baby’s eyes widened, filled with terror.
“No, no, no, baby doesn't want to! No, no, no!”
Just then, Jin Bao’er regained some strength. She quickly pushed off the ground to steady herself, simultaneously grabbing the little girl beside her. With a leap, she put ten meters between herself and Salen!
She then knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, her aura extremely weak.
“Big sister, you’re awake? That’s great!”
The little girl, though suddenly grabbed, wasn't flustered. Seeing Jin Bao’er, she was overjoyed and rushed into her arms…
Spiritual energy flowed into her dantian at this moment. The little girl hugged her tightly, shrinking into her embrace fearfully. Clearly, she wasn’t as simple-minded as she appeared. Perhaps… she was stalling for time for Jin Bao’er to recover her strength.
Thinking this, her gaze became complex. In this world, after losing her memory, she seemed to have gained a sense of responsibility!
“Mm… Be good, baby! Big sister will take you out of here!”
