That freak must really be gone,” he patted his chest repeatedly, face twisted in “scared the baby” expression\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Wang Yu remembered something and rushed to retrieve the iron-essence long knife nearby—but seeing its cracked blade, he frowned, then sheathed it anyway\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then sprinted to the Yin Lady, still face-down and unconscious, and carefully flipped her over to examine her injuries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw her face, he froze, speechless\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clothing was still the Yin Lady’s flowered green dress\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden hairpin in her gray-white bun was still her black wooden hairpin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The withered yellow skin on her neck was still her aged skin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her face—now a jade-like visage of celestial beauty\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An oval face, eyes softly closed, long lashes, a delicate nose and small mouth—features so exquisite they seemed not of this world\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","90c1710cb02b0f3d2f72837a16afaac587886fca5ce82c02905493fd1acc3b73","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-36","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-34",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
