I picked up this little grass god.

"Sure, but you have to wait a moment. After all, there is too much abyss breath here. We have to clean it up."

Ying agreed to Nashida's request, but first looked around and explained.

"Is that so? Then I'll help too."

Nashida nodded immediately, then raised her hand without saying a word, and the emerald green light instantly enveloped the entire Thousand Winds Temple.

Under the light, the breath of the abyss dissipated bit by bit, and even the cracks in space were repaired and disappeared.

"Amazing……!"

Paimon and Klevi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Okay, let's go."

After easily solving the surrounding abyss aura, Nashida urged Ying.

Ying glanced at Liu Bai and found that Liu Bai nodded slightly, then she agreed.

"Let's go find Wendy."

Then Ying and the others took Liu Bai and Nashida and walked towards the outside of the Thousand Winds Temple.

Nashida held Liu Bai's arm and leaned her head on it.

Liu Bai was very familiar with this intimate look, but...

"Come to think of it, girl, why do your hands taste bitter? I remember they used to taste delicious."

After walking to a place far away from the Thousand Winds Temple, Liu Bai suddenly asked Nashida.

"Hmm... maybe it's because I was just dealing with those pollutants?"

Hearing Liu Bai's question, Nashida looked down at her hands before responding.

"No, girl, that's clearly the smell of the abyss."

Nashida's answer made Liu Bai pause, and the next second he had taken out a purple pet master ball and placed it on Nashida's forehead.

Then, several crystal-like flying swords appeared behind Liu Bai, but they were not directed towards Nashida.

At the same time, noticing Liu Bai's actions, Ying immediately took out the edgeless sword, with water flowing around the sword and aimed it at Nashida.

"Eh? Xiaobai, what are you doing? The Traveler is also..."

Looking at Liu Bai and Ying's actions, Nashida was stunned for a moment, and asked with a confused and helpless expression.

"Yes, Traveler, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly..."

Paimon was also confused when he saw Ying draw his sword and point it at Nashida.

"First of all, you didn't expect me to be outside before you walked out of the space crack. Although you changed into a girl in time, the sound of your high heels betrayed you before you came out. My girl doesn't wear high heels."

Liu Bai held the Pet Master Ball against Nashida's forehead and explained to her where he found the problem.

"If I'm not mistaken... the abyss monsters will extract memories from the earth veins and mimic powerful creatures. This is how you turned into a girl, right?"

Liu Bai guessed so.

This is also the reason why he took "Nashida" away from the Thousand Winds Temple before exposing her, in order to avoid being surrounded by the abyss monsters pouring out of the cracks.

At the same time, Liu Bai gave instructions to the system in his mind:

"System, specify to subdue my girl... No, specify to subdue the guy who pretends to be my girl."

[Give me one second: The host can specify a certain thing. When the host does this thing, nothing will stop you in the next second. Only one thing can be specified per day, and it can be triggered repeatedly.]

[Specified to "subdue the guy pretending to be Nashida."]

As Liu Bai gave the order, the system immediately completed the designation for him.

In this way, as long as I hold the Pet Master Ball, the concept skill [Give Me One Second] will be triggered repeatedly, and this guy in front of me will have no ability to resist.

"Eh? So Nashida is... a monster in disguise?"

After hearing what Liu Bai said, combined with Ying's reaction, Paimon widened his eyes again and spoke in disbelief.

Clavi also opened her mouth, not able to tell that Nashida was pretending.

"Abyss monster...?"

"I'm not a monster from the abyss... Xiaobai, how can you say that to me..."

Hearing Liu Bai's words, Nashida's body trembled, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand and grabbed Liu Bai's wrist, pulling his hand holding the Pet Master Ball away from his head, without being stopped by the concept skill at all.

Seeing Nashida crying in grievance, Liu Bai felt a pain in his heart and subconsciously doubted his own guess.

"I'm really not a monster from the abyss...please don't doubt me, okay..."

Nashida raised her head and looked at Liu Bai aggrievedly.

"Once doubt appears, the gap can never be filled, Xiaobai..."

"And... in fact, I am the master of the abyss."

Suddenly, Nashida's tearful expression turned into a chilling smile.

Although she still looked like Nashida, the ornaments on her head had changed from dark green to purple-black, and her clothes also changed to the same color.

While her hair and pupil colors remained unchanged, the changes in the colors of her hair accessories and clothes made her look instantly cold and evil.

As she appeared in this state, a stronger aura of the abyss erupted in the Thousand Winds Temple behind her. A purple-black column of light shot up into the sky, instantly making the entire sky darker. Like the prelude to a heavy rainstorm, the light between heaven and earth was instantly lost.

It should have been daytime, but it was pitch dark. Ying had to free one hand and use the power of fire to light a flame for lighting.

"..."

Seeing the appearance of "Nashida", Liu Bai, whose hand was grabbed, immediately turned his wrist and threw the Pet Master Ball in his hand towards her.

But "Nashida" did not dodge or evade, allowing the Pet Master Ball to hit her head and bounce off.

The pet master ball bounced and broke into two halves, and then a red light flew over from a distance and sank into the pet master ball.

"According to the records of the World Tree, the last time you used the Master Ball to subdue the Traveling... Prince of the Abyss, you did not release him. The Master Ball has always been bound to him."

"Nashida" reached out and caught the fallen Pet Master Ball, and kindly explained to Liu Bai what was going on.

He had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and would never have thought about it if he hadn't encountered this situation.

"Let go...of my brother!"

After "Nashida" explained, Ying rushed over and swept her with a sword.

However, before the sword got close to "Nashida", black vines appeared out of nowhere and instantly wrapped around Ying, binding her body and limbs so that she could not move forward.

Ying tried to burn the vines with flames, but they were not affected at all. Instead, they tightened around her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Flower Dance Thousand Souls Kill!"

Klevi also reacted, but she did not choose to attack "Nahida". Instead, she wanted to destroy the vines that controlled Ying.

However, as the skill was activated, Klevi, who flashed by, was unable to cut the vines with her spear. Instead, the black vines followed the spear and instantly controlled her when she touched them.

Then, spikes appeared on the surface of the vines and turned into thorns, instantly putting the two controlled people into a state of pain.

However, "Nashida" ignored the two people who wanted to launch a sneak attack on her. Her eyes were on Liu Bai from beginning to end.

However, she knew that the pet Master Ball in her hand was indeed a threat, so she shrunk it to the size of a marble and flicked her finger. The purple ball immediately flew away and disappeared into the sky.

"Wow...how could you do this to your son?"

Seeing the pet master ball being bounced away, Liu Bai suddenly said depressedly.

"Ok?"

Liu Bai's words seemed to make "Nashida" a little confused.

"He is the prince of the abyss. You said you are the master of the abyss, so he is your child."

"..."

Faced with Nashida's doubts, Liu Bai answered as a matter of course. When Nashida was stunned for a moment, he immediately raised his hand towards the distance.

“I picked this up.”

The next moment, the Pet Master Ball returned to Liu Bai's hands.

"Why was she able to ignore the concept skill and stop me just now......"

Liu Bai was confused, but he did not hesitate and directly chose to release the people in the Pet Master Ball.

The pet master ball reopened, and a red light fell on the ground, turning into a hollow.

"fluorescent!"

Kong still didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Ying, whose limbs were entangled by black vines and unable to move, and whose expression was in pain, he immediately took out the golden blade without hesitation.
