finally broke free from his stiffness, abruptly leaned back, and raised his hand to frantically wipe his face, as if trying to remove that icy, slippery sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Deity of Beauty\" became even more interested in his intense reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she not retreat, she leaned in closer instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That flawlessly unreal face almost touched the tip of Lu Yuan's nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her starry-sky eyes drifted between his flushed ears and his tense jawline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she was admiring a vivid painting she had just added color to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not harming you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with letting me hold you for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan: \"？？？？？\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could bear it no longer and, disregarding any damn danger, pressed his hands firmly against her icy shoulders, pushing outward with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get off me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the \"Deity of Beauty\" leaned back slightly with the force of his push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But like a roly-poly toy, she only pulled back a few inches, not truly leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her starry-sky eyes blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a hazy, watery layer of amusement rippled in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flirtatious, drawn-out trailing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So useless~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't push me away, so you just know how to be fierce with me~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly, her three thousand strands of glazed hair cascading like a waterfall, her tone actually carrying a hint of grievance and coquettish complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the starlight swirling in her eyes and that faint, elusive curve at the corner of her lips were all filled with the teasing and cunning of a cat toying with a mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan could tell, this woman was just messing with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being toyed with like this continuously, Lu Yuan was genuinely starting to get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Yuan really couldn't handle this woman, then so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this never going to end?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Yuan, somewhat annoyed, was about to do something, the next second, he heard a playful laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lu Yuan felt a lightness on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the \"Deity of Beauty\" had actually let go of Lu Yuan herself, floating in mid-air, looking at Lu Yuan with a half-smile, her voice melodious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a familiar scent~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan was stunned, the annoyed expression on his face hadn't yet faded before turning to vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar scent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Deity of Beauty\" floating in mid-air gently twitched her nose, her starry-sky eyes slightly narrowing, no longer focused on Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they turned towards the deep night sky in the southwest direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was the direction of Fengtian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her suspended posture was elegant and light, the phantom of the glazed lotus beneath her bare feet flickering uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint light flowing around her body blended with the moonlight, making her appear increasingly perfect to the point of unreality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This scent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She murmured softly, her trailing tone drawn out, carrying a dreamlike ethereality, very familiar~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her face, looking at Lu Yuan, the teasing and cunning in her eyes faded mostly, replaced by a deeper, almost instinctive inquiry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gaze swept over Lu Yuan, yet seemed to penetrate him, looking towards a more distant place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Deity of Beauty\" pointed in the southwest direction towards Fengtian City, muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan followed the direction she pointed, the night was thick, the mountain ranges undulating like ink stains, he could see nothing but deeper darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop being a riddle-speaker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Deity of Beauty\" did not answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly descended, still hovering three inches off the ground with bare feet, floating lightly half a circle around Lu Yuan, her hair and skirt moving without wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She approached Lu Yuan again, but this time did not press against him, merely stopping at a distance that made him feel pressured but without actual contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, ethereal breath brushed past Lu Yuan's cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She examined his face carefully, as if making a final confirmation, or as if... remembering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were so fierce with me today, don't come begging me in the future~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, this movement still carrying a hint of girlish naivety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a lazy nasal sound, the swirling radiance in her starry-sky eyes seemed to quicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her red lips curved, that smile regained three parts playfulness, yet tempered with seven parts unfathomability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the time comes, I'll have to make you beg me properly before I agree~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her words finished, the light around her suddenly brightened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an explosive burst of aggression, but a restrained, rule-level hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom of the glazed lotus beneath her feet bloomed layer by layer, supporting her form as it slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight seemed drawn, gathering around her like gauze or silk ribbons, illuminating her like a jade statue about to ascend to the moon palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, hold on!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan instinctively shouted to stop, damn it, finish what you were saying before leaving!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Deity of Beauty\" paused in mid-air, slightly lowering her head to look down at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't bear to see me go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lu Yuan could speak, she chuckled lightly, her voice ethereal and echoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her form transformed into a flowing, shifting glazed light, like a reverse-flowing starry river, suddenly shooting into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, only a faint glimmer remained at the horizon, then completely merged into the night, leaving no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a single sentence remained from all directions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be good~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little thing, big sister has some things she absolutely must handle~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll come find you after I'm done~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about you just don't come back?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, Luo Yan Slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorched earth plowed over by thunder and fire appeared even more dead and desolate under the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in the lee of the slope, a cluster of campfire danced, becoming the only living source of light and warmth in this darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire was set up by Wang Cheng'an and Xu Erxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used nearby remnants of withered tree roots that hadn't been completely burned, the wood dense and slow-burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sparks that burst with crackling pops carried a charred, bitter smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several sharpened branches were stuck beside the fire, skewering hard, dry ration cakes, licked by the fire's tongue, the edges gradually turning golden brown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan sat on a relatively flat stone by the fire, holding a branch, poking at the fire absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan sat a bit farther from him, hugging her knees, her gaze somewhat lost on the flames, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Jiji sat in the shadows opposite her, his face half-hidden in darkness, only his gaze occasionally shifting towards Lu Yuan and Shen Shulan visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Erxiao was busy splitting open the slightly softened cakes, stuffing them with scallions and smearing them with bean paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first handed a piece to Lu Yuan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lu, have something to tide you over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Yuan reached out to take it, he heard Xu Erxiao blink and ask curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lu, were you just having your yang energy sucked by her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lu Yuan could be sure of, absolutely not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, those whose yang energy and essence are drained often become listless and weak, while Lu Yuan was completely fine now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan beside him, after pondering carefully for a while, suddenly looked at Lu Yuan curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle-Master, I've heard that some mountain spirits and wild charms that have gained power, after achieving proper fruition, experience human 'true flavor' or 'proper aura' for the first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like being drunk, they need to sleep it off for a while to digest it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does hers... count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shen Shulan's words, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though silent, his mind was churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan's words actually enlightened Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"Deity of Beauty\" was essentially an object gaining spirit, then forced into becoming a \"deity\" through malevolent methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she was tempered once more by the Patriarch using the most orthodox Thunder Techniques combined with incense and prayer power, gaining \"new life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was equivalent to forcibly elevating her to a realm even she herself was unfamiliar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her greedy pursuit of the aura on Lu Yuan might truly not be evil spirit energy draining, but more like an instinctive \"completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to borrow some kind of vivid, warm, \"orthodox\" human Dao aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stabilize this newly obtained, still flickering and unstable \"divine status\"....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking carefully, something still felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she fixate on him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Lu Yuan had two problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was this question: why did she have to choose him?...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question Lu Yuan had been pondering ever since the \"Deity of Beauty\" left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patriarch didn't kill her, instead helped her separate from the malevolent seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant, at the Patriarch's level, she was no longer considered an \"evil entity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in reality, that was indeed the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's own spiritual sense and the [Vanquish Demons and Exorcise Evil] system confirmed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't a trace of malevolent energy left on her, pure like a piece of glass just out of the kiln.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had obtained fortune, succeeded in proving her Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps what she said was true: the one who harmed people was Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she was a \"newborn\" deity named \"Beauty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A newborn deity, in theory, should go seek incense offerings, protect a region, accumulate merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this woman... seemed completely unaware of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attention at the time was entirely focused on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after leaving now, she also didn't seem to be going to seek any incense offering sites....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter reeked of strangeness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan dared to swear to heaven, besides the sweat smell from not bathing for days, he absolutely had no divine power protecting his body, no merit golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what exactly did she want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... the Patriarch did something, making her have to cling to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't be that his Patriarch thought he had too few wives, and manifested to give him a wife, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes no damn sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Lu Yuan thought very seriously and rigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one possibility....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's mind became unprecedentedly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patriarch's meaning was for him to... guide her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a newly born deity, her mind like a blank slate, understanding nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she needed a guide to lead her onto the right path, to become a true deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were truly the case, for the region beyond the Great Wall, having an additional super-powerful deity for protection, able to protect a land, would be a tremendous blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lu Yuan himself, the merit of guiding a deity was immeasurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her behavior just now....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't seem like a mind as blank as a slate....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, she was very good at teasing people!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all of this was just Lu Yuan's speculation based on the current situation, and while his mind was still in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether this was actually the case....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The specifics still needed to be asked of the old man or Celestial Master He Xun upon returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, after such a major event, Lu Yuan should immediately return to Fengtian City now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to find Celestial Master He Xun and get a clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Celestial Master He Xun also couldn't figure it out, then he would need to rush back to Zhenlong Temple immediately to seek answers from his old man master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to him, those two knew the Patriarch's temperament and nature in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, right now, it truly wasn't possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time for this mission was really too tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he handled one Nurturing Malevolence Site every two days, by the time he rushed back, the Celestial Master Grand Ceremony would already be halfway through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making this round trip, time simply wouldn't be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan thought, better to quickly finish dealing with the remaining Nurturing Malevolence Sites, then return to Fengtian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, this \"Deity of Beauty\" was strange, but....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, she harbored no hostility, it would be fine to ask after returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stood up, looking at Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an, who were stuffing food into their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, just have a little something to tide you over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pack up, we'll go near the next Nurturing Malevolence Site to have a proper full meal and rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an, without a word, immediately began packing their belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing the two, Lu Yuan turned to Tan Jiji, slightly cupping his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tan, are you still coming with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Tan Jiji only said he wanted to come help, but didn't specify for how long—whether to eradicate one Nurturing Malevolence Site or all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Tan Jiji also stood up, an awkward smile on his face, cupping his hands in reply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't be going with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally, I wanted to help you, to repay you for helping our Punishing the Netherworld Tan Family eradicate the Malevolent Deity of the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family, but now....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me following you, even if it doesn't count as holding you back, truly serves no purpose...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout this day, Tan Jiji felt everything happening before his eyes was just too outrageous!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly outrageous!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Jiji's initial reasons for following along had two considerations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he thought Lu Yuan's strength was still shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Yuan had slain the Malevolent Deity at Mangniu Village, but Lu Yuan himself said at the time that the Malevolent Deity wasn't eliminated by him, but by his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Tan Jiji didn't look down on Lu Yuan either, deep down still thinking Lu Yuan had some skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even thinking that, Lu Yuan was so young, around twenty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how skilled, how much could he really have??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, looking at today...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lu Yuan was damn too skilled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't just ordinarily skilled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not only was he himself highly skilled, his ability to call for help was even more damn impressive!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Jiji had lived so many years and had never seen or heard of anyone in the Daoist community beyond the Great Wall who, when inviting a Patriarch, could summon such a massive, swarming crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching tonight, Tan Jiji felt his first reason for insisting on coming along was utterly laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan simply didn't need any help from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even for carrying the big chest, Lu Yuan had Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the second reason....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was Shen Shulan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this was the most important reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better damn well leave!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past two days, Tan Jiji really couldn't bear to watch anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanted to leave ages ago!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan, looking at the embarrassed Tan Jiji before him, immediately returned the courtesy with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old brother, don't say that. If it weren't for you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan tried to recall any useful deeds Tan Jiji had performed along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really couldn't remember anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the journey, besides following along to eat and drink, Tan Jiji had hardly helped at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when breaking the illusion formation at the kiln site earlier, this guy was just an observer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purely came along for a tour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Lu Yuan stood there awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn mouth, say something!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Yuan felt extremely awkward, Tan Jiji, not minding at all, waved his hand with a smile, packing his things while saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Priest Lu, no need to make excuses for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This trip, I truly didn't help at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, it's really shameful. When I first came along, I was thinking if you encountered the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family's methods again, I, as a successor of the Punishing the Netherworld Tan Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Might be able to help you with something based on the Punishing the Netherworld Tan Family's understanding of the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in the end....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old brother, don't say that!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you forget the grand formation I set up earlier? Without your help, how could that formation operate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really was thanks to you!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Tan Jiji simply ignored Lu Yuan's remark, completely immersed in his own world, giving a self-mocking smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, I didn't even know something as important as the malevolent seed could be separated from the Malevolent Deity's body....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Tan Jiji waved his hand, walking alone into the night, not looking back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Priest Lu, I've learned much. We'll meet again if fate allows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family's matters, I really can't tell you. Our Ten Families have a blood oath, so I can't inform you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Tan Jiji finished speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly let out a loud shout, shaking the entire Luo Yan Slope:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wait a moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shout startled everyone, making their bodies jolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look at Lu Yuan with bewildered expressions, not understanding why he suddenly acted this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, an expression of disbelief was plastered on Lu Yuan's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had been pondering two problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first problem was the one he had considered before: why the \"Deity of Beauty\" clung to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the second problem....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan had been pondering the \"familiar scent\" mentioned by the \"Deity of Beauty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This problem, Lu Yuan had really been thinking about for a long time just now, but couldn't figure out what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the first problem, one could still find some clues and deduce something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether it was right, at least there was some thread to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these words were truly baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No thread at all, one didn't even know where to start thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what around him could make a deity like the \"Deity of Beauty\" feel familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Southwest direction....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengtian City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to say....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Yellow Braised Chicken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, both were considered \"deities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was obviously an unrelated connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter, Lu Yuan hadn't figured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now, as Tan Jiji finished speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly seemed to find a thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"Deity of Beauty's\" original form was the Malevolent Deity nurtured by the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the direction the \"Deity of Beauty\" pointed....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't Fengtian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather... Zhenlong Temple!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent on him....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could be connected to the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid it could only be Gu Qingwan!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the Yansheng Coins pressed on the major acupoints all over Gu Qingwan's body, that technique clearly originated from the Commanding Ghosts Liu Family....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Qingwan's body... could there also be a malevolent seed??!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must go home!!\u003C\u002Fp>",3190,"2026-06-06T14:45:54.833Z",1,"novelbin.me","c47ab04bb3231dcf9c779d4ea986af667755e6f5b9a94b91aab0885cc00c2e00","the-invincible-female-ghost-is-a-bit-of-a-hopele-chapter-124","the-invincible-female-ghost-is-a-bit-of-a-hopele-chapter-122",241,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-invincible-female-ghost-is-a-bit-of-a-hopele-cover.jpg"]
