Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 253 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (25)

The most important thing for him now is dealing with Zhao Ruyi.

He's waited so many years, he can't afford any mistakes.

So, that very night, Bai Tan went to find Yuan Zhou.

He claimed that he had found the location of the vengeful spirits in the harem, and that if he could drive them away and give himself a day and a night, he could restore peace and tranquility to the palace forever.

Yuan Zhou stroked the painting on the wall with his hand, his back to Bai Tan, his voice low, "I understand what the abbot means. It's not that I don't believe in the abbot's abilities, but if something happens to the abbot who has come all the way to the palace, I can't bear the responsibility."

Bai Tan didn't take these words seriously, but he was still a little unhappy to hear them, since no one likes their abilities to be doubted.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, he might have chosen to just slap them.

"Your Majesty need not worry. This humble Taoist priest may be unskilled, but he is indeed quite adept at dealing with some ghosts and demons."

Yuan Zhou raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I am pleased with what you say, Abbot. I will wait here for your good news."

Although it is said that Bai Tan's Taoist skills are unparalleled in the world, he felt that this unparalleled skill was bound to fail this time.

He looked at the portrait on the wall, a hint of regret in his eyes.

The beautiful woman in red was stunningly beautiful, enough to topple kingdoms and cities.

It's impossible to say that Yuanzhou has any feelings for Zhao Ruyi. He just feels as if he is in a cage.

His actions were completely unrestrained, and Zhao Ruyi's appearance shattered his perception of a monotonous life.

But he also knew that no matter how beautiful a bird is, it will lose all its beauty in a cage.

Moreover, he might find such people interesting occasionally, but over time, he'll only fear that he'll become addicted and unable to break the habit.

Besides, this bird has wings. It can fly away and doesn't want to stay here.

The scene shifts, and Yuanzhou issues an imperial decree ordering the people in and around the Cold Palace to leave for a few days.

Shen Yun naturally heard the decree as well, and Qi Mo, worried about her, wanted to stay outside the Cold Palace to guard her.

But this proposal was ultimately rejected.

With his mediocre skills, he'll most likely be discovered. Then all his efforts will have been in vain.

Da Mei and Xiao Shunzi also returned. They were exceptionally brave, and upon hearing the news, they didn't hesitate for even a moment.

Although Shen Yun felt that these two were of no use coming back.

Bai Tan stood at the door, holding a whisk in his hand.

When Shen Yun saw Fu Chen suddenly fall into deep thought, could Bai Qin really not sense it?
This whisk clearly belongs to one of the eunuchs serving Yuanzhou.

It was clear that Bai Qin was so engrossed in his own world that he couldn't extricate himself and didn't notice anything amiss.

2345 tapped the large screen in the system space, then gritted his teeth and redeemed something.

[Host, the purchase is complete.] The items in the system shop are so expensive!

2345 couldn't help but complain.

Shen Yun ignored it and just leaned closer to take another look at Bai Tan.

"The gatekeeper seems to be in a bad mood lately!"

Bai Tan: How could that be? He's probably going crazy with joy.

Shen Yun took out a jar of black sesame seeds from somewhere, looked at him with pity, and gave him a suggestion.

"Unless you absolutely need to, you should let your hair down and stop braiding it."

A question mark slowly surfaced in Bai Qin's mind?
Then I had a bad feeling.

"These black sesame seeds are the best for your hair. If you don't take care of them now, people will doubt your identity when you first visit." A bald Taoist priest seemed quite puzzled.

Bai Tan's eyes were filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth. What angered him most was that he had actually understood.

Even the deceased Lu Qian had never hated him this much.

I just feel jealous.

Now, if it weren't for the need to spare Zhao Ruyi's life, he would have wanted to chop her up and smash her to pieces.

Ancient prescriptions state that to refine that elixir, seven rare herbs must be added, and he only found the seed of one of these herbs two years ago.

To make it grow, you must feed it a soul.

It just so happens that it can be used in medicine this year.

If it had happened earlier, the State of Zhao wouldn't have taken so long to perish.

"Princess Ruyi should worry about herself." Looking at her current appearance, Bai Tan revealed a smug smile.

"I originally thought that as long as Zhao Jixiang pushed her down, Princess Ruyi would unconsciously absorb the power of the jade pendant and pray for revenge."

"But it makes no difference now. In the end, Princess Ruyi has become the person I wanted her to be."

Bai Tan stroked his beard, looking disdainfully at the two men blocking Zhao Ruyi's path. "I'm in a good mood today and don't want to argue with you. As long as you leave voluntarily, I won't pursue the matter."

Xiao Shunzi had no expression, but Da Mei's entire body suddenly changed.

It looks exactly like Shen Yun now.

However, Shen Yun was faking it, but Da Mei had truly become like this.

"Old Taoist, do you still remember me?" Da Mei looked at him fiercely.

"You killed my child." Da Mei said each word slowly and deliberately, her voice seemingly tinged with blood.

Bai Qin's expression was inscrutable. After a long while, he said, "So it was you. You didn't die."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing her body with a scrutinizing gaze. Originally, he really didn't intend to kill them all.

But now, it's something I have no choice but to do.

Since it hasn't been completely destroyed, why can't we just endure it?
Seeing Bai Tan slap Da Mei, Shen Yun quickly grabbed Da Mei by the back of her neck and threw her behind him, while frantically trying to wink at the two of them.

She was already planning to escape unscathed, but now two burdens have appeared – this is unacceptable.

However, it was obvious that these two couldn't read her mind.

Shen Yun hurriedly said to Bai Tan, "These two have a grudge against me. Can you let me handle them?"

Bai Tan thought about it for a while before realizing that Zhao Ruyi had no idea about his current situation.

But that's fine too. If a cat catches a mouse too easily, it's no fun at all.

Shen Yun picked up the two items, one in each hand, and whispered, "You two, stay away from me and don't get in my way."

Da Mei looked at her in confusion, and it took her a long time to realize what she meant. Then she left with Xiao Shunzi without stopping.

"Has Princess Ruyi finished dealing with this?"

Despite the bright sunshine, it was terribly cold around here.

Bai Qin loosened his collar, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, and slowly opened it, a wisp of black smoke slowly rising from it.

A look of confusion appeared in Shen Yun's red eyes. What was this thing? It looked a bit like the black mist that she was disguised as.

"Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Often, the most inconspicuous things can resist the strongest things."
