Yuxi looked at the person lying on the ground. Before she could react, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her palm.

"Oh my god, you're biting me again!" Yuxi looked down and saw Xuan Ce biting his hand and going crazy again.

Yuxi tried to shake him off, but Xuan Ce bit his palm tightly, his teeth piercing through it and biting right at the metacarpal bone. No matter how hard Yuxi tried to shake him off, he couldn't, and he cursed in pain.

"That's enough! Can you please sober up? What are you going to do if you don't change your habit of going crazy all the time?"

At this time, the village was noisy again. Yuxi was afraid of being besieged by these people, so she carried Xuan Ce on one hand and went to Lanling Wang's residence.

"I'll go find your master to teach you!"

……

"Lanling King! Where are you?"

"What are you doing?"

"Your apprentice won't let go of me, please save me..."

Lanling Wang jumped down from the second floor and stood beside Yuxi. He saw that Yuxi's hand was bitten to the point of bone and couldn't help but frown.

Lanling Wang immediately raised his hand and tapped Xuan Ce lightly on the back of his neck, and Xuan Ce fainted.

Yuxi quickly recited [Treatment] to herself.

"Phew... saved."

Yuxi complained, "Ah... You won't let go unless you knock him out? He's like a mad dog... He's so poisonous."

Lanling Wang looked at Yuxi like an idiot and said, "You are such an idiot! Didn't you know to knock him out after being bitten?"

"How can I think so much!"

"Besides... I can't possibly knock him out every time he goes crazy."

"Can't this habit be corrected?"

"change?"

"Humph... It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature, you know?"

Yuxi frowned in confusion: "How can they be so naturally conditioned? Are all demon-blood hybrids like this?"

Lanling Wang responded solemnly: "Being mixed-blood often means that one's temperament is unpredictable."

Yuxi was even more suspicious: "Even if his personality is unpredictable... he wouldn't attack his own people."

"He tends to lose control once he gets blood on him."

"Maybe he went through something to become like this."

A trace of sympathy flashed in Yuxi's eyes: "Maybe you are right... According to Xuan Ce, his brother is normal."

Lanling Wang thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, maybe there's a way to contain it."

Yuxi quickly asked: "How to contain it?"

"The pain will bring him back to his senses. His neck is extremely fragile."

After saying this, Prince Lanling quickly jumped to the second floor and soon returned with something in his hand.

Yuxi took a closer look and asked tentatively: "Is this... a collar?"

Lanling Wang smiled gently and revealed the secret of the collar: "There are several cleverly designed small spikes inside this collar."

He went on to explain: "When a person is angry, his neck will involuntarily become thicker, and these small spikes can give him painful stimulation."

"The pain may help him regain some sanity."

Yuxi's eyes widened, her face full of confusion: "How can you have such a thing?"

Lanling Wang responded casually: "Oh, I just saw it at an ordinary market. I thought it was interesting so I bought it. I originally wanted to use it for Black Panther."

Yuxi's eyes flashed with complex emotions: "Can a black panther wear such a small collar?"

"You... don't want to bring this to Xuan Ce, do you?"

Lanling Wang's eyes seemed to see through his thoughts: "Go and try it and see if it's suitable."

Yuxi hesitated for a long time, but finally followed Lanling King's instructions and put the collar around Xuan Ce's neck.

He felt mixed emotions and whispered, "I'm sorry, little brother. I don't have any other choice..."

Lanling Wang seemed satisfied with the size of the collar: "I didn't expect it to be so suitable."

Yuxi also nodded, but her heart was filled with helplessness: "I hope this can help."

After completing all this, Yuxi felt a deep sense of fatigue. He felt a strong sense of sleepiness from the bottom of his heart, as if the high tension just now was released all at once.

He breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and let sleepiness gradually swallow him.

Yuxi muttered softly, as if even his own voice was tired: "I seem to have not slept for two days..." He felt as if his body had been drained of strength, and the world before his eyes became a little blurry.

"Prince Lanling, I'm going to rest for a while." Yuxi's voice was a little weak.

Lanling Wang responded softly, with a caring tone: "It's time for you to rest~"

Yuxi nodded: "Wake me up if anything happens."

Lanling Wang smiled and nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Yuxi walked heavily up to the second floor and returned to her room.

In the room, the seedling stones of various colors emitted a charming halo, like stars. He lay on the soft blanket, but couldn't fall asleep. He closed his eyes and replayed what happened today in his mind.

Yuxi hesitated in his heart: "Should I find time to tell Hua Mulan about what happened today?" But then he thought: "But she may not believe me..." He sighed and tried to convince himself: "They are all very strong, and they can handle anything that happens."

"I don't need to worry at all... Just complete your mission, the rest has nothing to do with me."

Yuxi couldn't help but sigh again, her heart full of guilt: "Alas... I killed someone."

Recalling the previous promise: "I promised to let that person go..."

"In the end, he died."

Although killing had become his instinct, he still felt a little guilty when he thought back on it.

I started to reflect on myself: "I seem to have become cruel recently... I want to kill people all the time..."

I couldn't help but worry: "Will it be the same when I return to reality? Will it also be..."

……

Her thoughts gradually stopped and Yuxi slowly fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, Yuxi found herself in a vast desert.

Thick sand fog filled the air, and the sunlight was dim, making it difficult to tell whether it was morning or dusk. In this desolate land, a huge tree stood out on the sand, looking a little abrupt.

"This is where?"

"I was clearly sleeping, how could I suddenly appear here? Is this another dream?"

As I approached the tree, I saw skeletons resting on it, standing quietly on the trunk like crows. When I looked at them, the skeletons actually flew down one after another, revealing a hideous smile.

A rough voice said: "Give me back my life... You are not keeping your word..."

"What the hell is this?"

"Come and get it if you can! If you don't want to kill me, why would I kill you?"

The voice continued, "You are not keeping your word..."

"I didn't mean to do that. I'm so sorry."

The voice became more angry: "I want you to pay with your life!"

"You want me to pay with my life? Then I'll become a ghost and stare at you? Is that fun?"

"May you be born into a good family in your next life..."

"Don't come to me."

Before she finished her words, Yuxi suddenly slapped herself, hoping that this slap would wake herself up.

At the same time, I shouted in my heart: "Wake up!"

However, the surroundings remained unchanged.

"Why can't I wake up?"

"how so?"

"I always have dreams that I know are dreams, but I just can't wake up..." There was a hint of despair in his tone.

I even began to wonder: "Is there someone manipulating me from behind?"

At this moment, two ghosts floated around him, and sharp laughter echoed in his ears.

Yuxi shouted angrily: "Are you sick?"

"I'm an atheist! I don't buy that!"

"Silly——"

He waved his hands to try to disperse the ghosts, but his laughter was still sharp and piercing.

Yuxi covered her ears and ran wildly on the sand, trying to escape from the horrible laughter.

After running for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a city wall.

The city wall was covered tightly with ice and snow, like a cold giant, quietly guarding this land.

“Is this the Great Wall?”

Without a moment's hesitation, Yuxi used her martial arts skills to climb up the Great Wall as light as a swallow.

On top of the city wall, it was quiet and solitude, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently.

Yuxi looked around and called out, "Is anyone there?"

The voice echoed on the empty city walls, but no one responded.

His heart tightened, and he thought to himself: "System, are you there?"

However, the surroundings remained silent.

Feeling anxious, Yuxi couldn't help but slap herself in an attempt to wake herself up.

He cursed under his breath, "Wake up!"

However, reality did not seem to change despite his call. He tried again, but still to no avail.

With a sigh, Yuxi stood on the frost-covered city wall in self-abandonment.

"This seems to be the other half of the Great Wall that has not yet been searched."

Time seemed to stand still, and there was no movement.

Feeling unwilling, he slapped himself twice, but still couldn't escape this nightmarish reality.

At this moment, his eyes fell on a hill on the Great Wall.

There seemed to be something glowing there.

"what is that"

I walked over curiously and found that it was a glowing symbol. Ghosts and gods howled all around, which made people shudder.

An inexplicable fear surged in Yuxi's heart, as if some terrifying existence was suppressed under this symbol.

He took a deep breath and courageously reached out to touch the glowing symbol.

However, just as he was about to touch it, everything in front of him suddenly went dark and disappeared.
