At this moment, hearing Qing Dai suddenly say this to me.
A way to permanently extend life and longevity?
My heart trembled.
This idea wasn't something I hadn't considered before, I had even asked my master.
But my master's answer was.
“Impossible.”
Because my situation was very special.
It had to do with my own destiny.
Born to attract yin and ghosts, it was sheer luck I had lived this long.
Now, only one wick remained, and my own lamp oil had long been "eaten away."
The only way to salvage it was to go to the lamp and add other lamp oil.
This "lamp oil" was the yin-fortune and merit of those ghosts and spirits, used to extend my life.
To solve it permanently, once and for all.
At present, it was impossible.
Seeing Qing Dai's serious expression, I hesitated for a moment.
Then I smiled.
“It’s fine, wearing the ghost fortune money is also good, I’m used to it anyway.
Qing Dai, it’s almost dawn.
You all should leave quickly!
Otherwise, you’ll be scorched by the sunlight…”
I spoke calmly.
Although in my heart I truly wished to find a way to completely resolve my current situation.
I also felt it was somewhat unrealistic.
Rather than making a futile effort, it was better to put my mind on something else.
Hearing my calm and gentle words, Qing Dai said no more.
She merely gave me a deep look and left me with a faint smile.
With a flick of her sleeve, her entire being instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished before my eyes.
The moment Qing Dai disappeared, her ghostly subordinates also turned into mist.
They vanished on the spot.
Those twenty ghost cavalry, their leader shouted to me.
“General, your subordinate bids farewell!”
Saying that, he reined in his horse.
“Haa!”
A neighing of horses.
The leading ghost cavalryman turned his mount.
The sound of hooves “tap-tap-tap” sounded.
After a few steps, they vanished into thin air from everyone’s sight…
In an instant, inside and outside the entire demonic palace, Qing Dai and the ghost warriors she brought had all departed.
It was as if they had never been there.
I looked at the spot where Qing Dai had disappeared.
My heart was complex and filled with emotion.
The life curse was lifted, I should have been happy.
But now, for some reason, I couldn’t be happy.
Instead, there was a faint sadness, and infinite gratitude towards Qing Dai…
“Old Qin, stop looking, they’re gone!”
Old Mo’s voice pulled me back to reality.
I turned my head and saw Old Mo, Uncle Master, and others walking towards me.
“Old Qin, Uncle Master, Aunt Yun Xia, Qiu Xi…”
“Alright, the life curse is lifted.
Your master and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
Uncle Master said with a smile, filled with relief.
“Yes! This near-death experience was worth it.”
Aunt Yun Xia also smiled kindly.
Xia Qiu Xi handed me a water flask.
“It’s been so long, have some water!”
My mouth was a little dry.
I nodded slightly.
“Thank you!”
Saying that, I took the water flask and took a sip.
As I swallowed while drinking, the muscles in my neck ached.
I was covered in injuries, my blood had dried and blackened on my skin.
I looked like a bloody person.
I drank a few mouthfuls to moisten my throat.
The horizon of the mountains and forests had already revealed the first rays of sunlight.
Unknowingly, the sun had already risen.
We had stayed in this demonic palace for an entire night.
I handed the water flask back to Qiu Xi and then said.
“It’s already daylight!
Uncle Master, Aunt Yun Xia, is the demonic palace inside and out pacified now?”
Uncle Master grunted.
“While you were breaking the life curse, the three major forces swept through the entire demonic palace.
Except for a small number of demons who escaped, the vast majority have been eliminated.
Even that corpse-ghost heaven embryo was completely devoured by the Grey family’s forces!”
“Ah? Devoured?”
I was a little surprised and looked up into the demonic palace.
I noticed that the tall corpse-ghost heaven embryo was indeed no longer there.
Seeing my surprise, Old Mo chimed in.
“Don’t even mention the corpse-ghost heaven embryo, not even the bone fragments of those demonic Taoists were left behind.
Wherever they went, nothing grew…”
While I was in disbelief, I turned to look in the distance.
Just then, I saw Hu San Tai Nai, Hui Shi Ba, and other fox and rat clan demon immortals walking towards me.
Seeing them approach.
I quickly took two steps forward.
“Grandma Fox, Master Shi Ba, all the immortals…”
I cupped my fists and spoke.
The Uncle Master and the others beside me also cupped their fists in greeting.
Even the leader of the Daoist Alliance would not dare to underestimate these two major forces.
Hu San Tai Nai chuckled.
“Little Qin! Grandma truly didn’t expect you and the Nine Saint Princess to have such karma.
But it’s good now, the life curse is lifted, and you no longer have to suffer from it.
Since everything is settled, Grandma will return to Fox Mountain.
Xiao Mei, come here!”
“Grandma!”
Xiao Mei replied respectfully.
Hu San Tai Nai patted Xiao Mei’s head and said.
“From now on, you will continue to follow Little Qin in the mortal world and learn.
Observe and learn the knowledge of human society.
Understand humans.
Also, you can help humans with what they call ‘science and technology’ that allows them to travel through the sky and sea…
Perhaps in the future.
It can bring new avenues and development to our fox clan…”
“Grandma, don’t worry, Xiao Mei understands!
Xiao Mei watches human television every day.
I will learn from it and live up to the expectations of the fox clan.”
Xiao Mei replied respectfully.
I must say, although Hu San Tai Nai is an old fox from the mountains.
She still has a certain understanding of current human society.
After all, scientific and technological civilization has made human society change rapidly.
However, seeing Xiao Mei’s face of feigned seriousness, my face twitched involuntarily.
I didn’t want to expose this fox spirit.
This little fox, when watching TV, either watches cat-ear girls and fashion shows, or that segment of "Animal World"; when spring arrives and all things revive, it’s the season for animals to reproduce…
Every time, she’d turn red in the face, and I couldn’t say anything to her.
