This villain has become a ghost

Jing Tan immediately said, "...Finally, we found a way to fight poison with poison in the Poison Mist Valley of Zhongding Mountain. There is a poisonous thorn bush in the Poison Mist Valley that can perfectly restrain the poison in Nangong Mingzhu's body."

Yue Liuyun frowned and said, "So we want to take him to Zhongding Mountain?"

"Yes."

But the battle has not stopped yet, and the rest of the people are too busy to deal with it. The Imperial Guards and the Yulin Army have not been eliminated. Ling Chaomian is trapped in the palace, and Nangong Qianshang has not returned. Her soul is useless and can do nothing.

The young man seemed to read her thoughts and said softly, "Don't worry, my friend. I have a solution."

Hearing that there was a solution, Yue Liuyun gradually calmed down and asked, "Thank you very much... What should I call you?"

The aura emanating from this young man is very mysterious, and he has a temperament that transcends the world. He must not be an ordinary person.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Young friend, you can just call me Jiuzun."

Jing Tan said to Yue Liuyun, "This friend is a ruler like me, but he is much more powerful than me. He is a ruler of the cultivation world and knows real magic."

Yue Liuyun was shocked: "...Six."

The people from the neighboring cultivation world, when they come to this world where there is nothing, are simply like cheats.

Yue Liuyun asked seriously, "Then why don't you just save him directly, and why do you have to ask me for help?"

Jiu Zun said, "After all, we are not from the same world. If Heaven finds out and sends down a divine punishment, I can still say nothing, but that friend named Nangong Mingzhu will surely be utterly annihilated."

It turned out to be the case.

Yue Liuyun asked carefully again: "So, your method is..."

Jiu Zun said: "I can make your soul materialize..."

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang echoed from the sky, like the roar of the sky, shaking the entire space. Then, the space suddenly shook violently, and a deafening "boom, boom—" thunder was heard.

Yue Liuyun barely managed to stand still and sighed, "I guess this is something fate won't allow, right? It seems to be threatening us now."

"Yes."

Jiu Zun frowned slightly, and a bit of sharpness appeared on his gentle face, as if he was thinking about how to destroy this thing.

Jing Tan looked at Jiu Zun with some concern: "Your injuries haven't healed yet. If you fight against the destiny of our world again, you might really die."

"It's okay. You have helped me before. I have no reason to sit idly by." Jiuzun said.

Jingtan said, "Thank you."

Yue Liuyun also bowed solemnly to him and said, "Thank you very much."

"You are in spirit form, so it will be much easier for me to block the heavenly punishment for you," Jiu Zun said solemnly, "but... fate will still have an impact. I can materialize your spirit, but it is not your original body. There is a high probability that you will lose all five senses."

Yue Liuyun asked, "What happens after that? Will I die?"

"Afterwards, I will still pull you into this space and protect your soul from being damaged," Jiu Zun said seriously, "You will not die."

Hearing this, Yue Liuyun nodded and said, "As long as you won't die, let's get started."

Jing Tan was curious for a moment and asked, "If he was going to die, would you still save him?"

Yue Liuyun thought about it seriously, and finally came to a conclusion.

"will not."

Jing Tan was shocked and asked in disbelief, "But I remember that Nangong Mingzhu seemed to like you very much..."

In the stories he had read, because of love, one party would make unconditional sacrifices for the other, staying together through life and death. Why was it that this wasn't the case with Yue Liuyun...

Yue Liuyun was silent for a while before she said with a complicated expression, "I can also feel his love for her, but..."

"I never responded to him."

"Because...we are not from the same world."

"Besides, unwavering devotion, vows of eternal love, sharing life and death...are just scenes from stories and myths. No real relationship can withstand such blows. I also never believed that there could be such undivided, unchanging love in this world."

"I won't gamble my life and all my feelings on an uncertain variable."

Even though, she actually had a good impression of him.

Even though she really, really, really wanted him to survive.

Even though she was in excruciating pain the moment she thought he was dead.

But she still loves herself more.

Jingtan was stunned when he heard this, and nodded as if he understood.

Jiu Zun was very impressed with Yue Liuyun and sighed, "Young friend, your clarity and rationality are unmatched. You are very suitable to be a ruler. I only know two people who refused to become rulers because they were too obsessed with love. It has prevented me from retiring and I am still busy today."

Yue Liuyun raised an eyebrow and said, "The world where our ancestors came from is the world of cultivation, so naturally there are many talented people."

Especially for the ruthless path, the graduation rate is infinitely close to zero.

Jiu Zun smiled slightly and said no more.

Yue Liuyun closed his eyes, prepared for the possibility of losing all his senses in a short while, and said, "Let's get started. I'm ready."

Although Jingtan knew Yue Liuyun would not be afraid, she still added something to reassure her: "Even if you lose all your five senses, my voice will still appear in your mind. I will show you the way."

Yue Liuyun said: "...Okay."

-

The crimson fox fur was covered with snow. Nangong Mingzhu's eyelashes trembled slightly. He endured the pain and struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, his pale lips sobbing.

He can't die yet.

He had promised someone that no matter what happened, he would find a way to live well.

He has even heavier responsibilities on his shoulders.

He wants to live his best.

He raised his hand with distinct knuckles, fumbled for the hilt in the cold snow, and used all his strength to support himself to stand up.

"Moon...Moon Flowing Clouds?"

There was complete silence between heaven and earth, snowflakes drifted slowly down from the gray sky, dancing in the cold wind that howled past with a biting chill.

The mountain streams were frozen by ice and snow, no longer flowing, with only the occasional gurgling sound coming from beneath the ice. The forests shrouded in snow gave people a feeling of coolness and melancholy, as if time had stood still here.

He waited a long time for a response.

The world is vast.

And his heart also became quiet.

The pain coming from my internal organs... has never been so unforgettable as it is now.

She disappeared after all.

Although the vast expanses of snow in front of him stung his eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into darkness again.

His body trembled involuntarily, his thoughts became confused, everything in front of him became blurry, a buzzing sound echoed in his ears, the bone-chilling cold made his limbs stiff, and the distorted and deformed scene before him made him about to fall down again.

Suddenly, in the dim darkness, a familiar breath seemed to slowly approach him. He fell into a warm embrace unexpectedly, with the soothing fragrance of plum blossoms lingering on his nose.
