intertwined and slowly converged into the sword wound on Baili An’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merit Power of Spiritual Power was as pure as water, gentle as it streamed into the withered and lifeless meridians within his body, like a babbling brook, moisturizing and penetrating his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the storage capacity of the Wish Pearl for Merit Power was extremely limited,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An could clearly perceive that the Spiritual Power, once purified through the pearl and turned into Merit Power, held a unique force and aura that lingered in his body,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing the Blood River of the Abyss to be peaceful and serene, without causing any ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undergoing cultivation through the pearl for the second time, Baili An found it incredibly astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have predicted that the power of the Mohe, which even the heavens and earth feared, could be temporarily suppressed by a mere Wish Pearl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his cultivation practice, Baili An stopped pondering and slowly closed his eyes, beginning to cultivate earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears fell heavily upon the candle stand, forming frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single bean of candlelight emitted its last dim glow before silently going out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room plunged into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the moonlight that managed to seep through an unsecured window spilled in messy beams on his white clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu dozed off lightly and, upon waking again, found its ears perked up and gaze emotionlessly falling upon Baili An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the shadows, a pair of scarlet pupils suddenly appeared, as dangerous and eerie as a demon in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a wind rose upon the ancient mountain path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden window shook and was blown wide open by the gust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight poured in, lighting up the white clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s brow twitched slightly, and he caught a whiff of a familiar yet distant cold fragrance, subtly following the mountain breeze into his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, he could capture scents other than that of fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could pinpoint when he remembered this familiar cold fragrance, his consciousness felt as if it was being tightly pulled and torn to pieces by a gentle hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision began to blur, and an irresistible wave of drowsiness swept over him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green Wish Pearl clattered to the ground, emitting a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s body slumped, falling to the floor as his eyelids became too heavy to hold open, and his consciousness drifted away from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the veil of the night, he fell into a deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the whole house, only Afu Tu remained lucid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadow beneath it, the red glow in its eyes dimmed a fraction, and its perked ears remained raised, adding a touch of deadly aura to its small form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu glanced down at the carrot it had gnawed into a mess in its paw, and a hint of faint irony shone in its red eyes as it suddenly threw the carrot out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow sleeves danced lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean hand caught the tooth-marked carrot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white haze of snow rose in the world beyond the window, and amid the fluttering white snow, a slender figure clad in white stood on the edge of the roof and window, her dark eyes staring at Afu Tu, her expression extremely faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu, too, watched her quietly, its crimson eyes full of ferocity, a display of extreme hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Jing flipped the carrot in her hand, it drew a circle of silver-white sword fire concealing ancient fire mark runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu, as if facing a formidable enemy, crouched low and growled, but the threatening growl held no intimidation before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword fire whipped fiercely onto Afu Tu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gash appeared—so deep that bone could be seen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu seemed to be in extreme pain and fright, cautiously hiding the ferocity in its eyes little by little, not daring to reveal any more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lay on the ground, its gaze icy and ruthless as it watched the woman outside the window, unwillingness hidden in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing stepped over the window sill and walked into the room, her gaze calm and clear, but no longer glancing at Afu Tu on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cold gaze fell upon the bed, observing the small figure with an unreadable expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu’s gaze flickered as it realized that this woman was not empty-handed; in her right hand, she carried a bulging bundle whose contents were unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she said, “I gave you freedom, we established a contract, not for you to show your laughable claws at times like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing glanced lightly at the rabbit, “Now that we’ve left the Chaotic Netherworld Valley, you have to follow my rules, so what’s there to be unhappy about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was indifferent, causing Afu Tu’s fur to bristle; the bloody wounds inflicted earlier were healing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made a continuous low growling sound, as if protesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood Afu Tu’s meaning, scoffed coldly, and did not speak further, but instead extended an arm towards Afu Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu gave her a quiet look, its crimson gaze deep and greedy, a typical look of a dark creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming her intentions, Afu Tu hesitated no longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow underneath it surged with demonic speed, swiftly leaping from the ground, without so much as a glance at Su Jing’s extended arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by its greedy nature, a large black figure towered in front of Su Jing, biting fiercely into her shoulder, greedily drawing the sweet blood within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoulder pain ripped through her, but aside from a slight frown, Su Jing exhibited no other reaction, remaining indifferent to the gnawing shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connected to the shadow at the other end, Afu Tu let out a satisfied and strange squeak, as if its belly had been filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Su Jing’s complexion grew increasingly pale, but she did not speak to stop it, only casting a quiet glance at Afu Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squeaking ceased at once, and the shadow, still unwilling, retreated back into Afu Tu’s small form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Su Jing, her shoulder was now a gory mess, bones starkly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clothes were half-drenched in red, a pathetic and striking sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the bed where Ji San lay mumbling unclear dream talk, clutching a wooden rabbit, rubbing her eyes, seeming thirsty as she woke and reached for water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caught sight under the clear moonlight of a figure in white, half smeared with tragic red, as the fresh blood made the beautiful face look even paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair danced in the air, her features cold, like a mournful ghost in the dead of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, who had just gone through one ghostly fright after another, couldn’t take such a shocking scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to even cry out, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing, taken aback by the girl’s light sleep, felt speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over, touched the wrist of the girl, and transferred a stream of Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her complexion improve after the scare, she then roused her to wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ji San came to, she saw an expressionless, earnest face looking down at her, saying seriously, “I am not a ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infusion of Spiritual Power stabilized the girl’s thoughts somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took several deep breaths, her body trembling slightly, and looked timidly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the warmth from the fingers on her wrist, sure that she was indeed human and not a ghost, she didn’t faint again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Baili An, who lay unconscious on the floor, swallowed, and said softly, “Sister, you’re hurt, your shoulder is all bloody…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing hummed faintly, not caring for the injury on her body, and instead pulled out a small toy from her bundle—a beautifully painted clay pellet drum that made a pleasant rustling sound when shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>",1322,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.480Z",1,"novelbin.me","5c96eca647cf7382bffddb6ffaa0b61ff18d073a5930b4df0d63da60b27a2a70","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-252",null,1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
