Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Cheng Huang looked at the man in front of him who was in pain but unwilling to hurt others. There was no sympathy on his handsome face. He just said, "I want your vitality."

"Okay." After hearing the price Cheng Huang wanted, his father finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed without hesitation.

"However, I want to see the letter that my daughter has successfully left Tiandu."

"As you wish." After Cheng Huang finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared in the prison.

My father was so excited that his wound was affected. He covered his chest and coughed uncontrollably. As he coughed, he burst into laughter and looked up at the top of the prison cell. He laughed and tears came down his face.

Nanzhi, whose body had long since collapsed, sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

The scene in front of him changed, and Nanzhi heard Cheng Huang's voice.

He said, "Hello."

Nanzhi looked up, and she in the prison also raised her head.

Then she saw the change in Cheng Huang's eyes, like a spring breeze melting snow, and warmth appeared in the eyes of the cold and ruthless monster.

It turned out that Cheng Huang first went to find her father, who was more obsessed than her. When he rescued her from prison and sent her out of Tiandu City, he temporarily changed his mind and fulfilled her wish.

Then the screen changed again.

Cheng Huang returned to the prison and stood in front of his father again.

When his father asked him if he had rescued his daughter, he regretted it and said, "I promised your daughter that I would help you overturn the case. You will be able to get out tomorrow morning and be reinstated."

The father looked shocked, then angrily said, "I don't need it! I don't need it!!!"

Then, he pleaded with Cheng Huang: "Can't we just stick to what we agreed on? I'll pay the price! Don't hurt my daughter!"

Grabbing his father's body as he was about to kneel down, Cheng Huang grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"Your daughter doesn't need to pay any price." Cheng Huang lowered his eyes, his voice as calm as still water: "But I asked for your price, so I can't give it up. I came here to ask you to change the price."

"Change the price?" Father asked in confusion, "You don't want my vitality?"

"Nanzhi can't live without her father." Cheng Huang looked at his father with indifferent eyes and said calmly: "If you want her to be well, you must first ensure that you are well."

My father was very smart and perceptive. He immediately said sternly: "Humans and demons have different paths..."

Cheng Huang didn't let him finish, but said, "The price I want you to pay is that I will choose an object you own as my future home."

Regardless of whether my father agreed or not, the price was set.

After Cheng Huang left, near dawn, Nanzhi saw Chen Shui walk into the prison.

Nanzhi wanted to stop it, and she tried her best to stop it, but it was of no use. She could only watch her father being banged against the wall by Chen Shui until he died.

In the end, all her father left her was a private house and the ancestral jade pendant around his waist.

……

After Nanzhi fell into a memory illusion, the streets lined with shops were filled with yellow and red demonic power.

The vortex of demonic power he unleashed could not be resisted even by Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen combined. When Cheng Huang attacked again, wanting to kill everyone, Wen Xiao and Zhu Yan, one demon and one demon, sensed the Bai Ze Order.

Bai Ze Ling sensed the two people's compassion and desire to save the world.

Golden rune power flowed around the two of them. Wen Xiao raised his hand to catch the wooden flute formed by the branches of the Jianmu sacred tree. Zhu Yan formed a seal with his hand, and the runes condensed from the golden Bai Ze divine power wrapped around his fingertips.

Wen Xiao played the wooden flute, and Bai Ze's magical power instantly imprisoned Cheng Huang.

No matter how Cheng Huang struggled, he could not break free from Bai Ze's divine power.

Wen Xiao and Zhu Yan activated the Bai Ze Order. It was hopeless to seize the Bai Ze Order and resurrect the first generation goddess, but Cheng Huang still did not want to die because of the obsession in his heart.

He can't die!

If he died, there was no guarantee that Nanzhi would not commit suicide to repay him for everything he had done!

Cheng Huang returned the demonic power that he had attached to all the dolls, and in an instant Pei Siheng turned into an ordinary doll.

In the face of Pei Sijing's anger but inability to stop the pain, all the demonic power that Cheng Huang had retracted suddenly burst out, and a burst of scarlet demonic energy fought fiercely with Bai Ze Ling, exploding the power of Bai Ze imprisoned in Cheng Huang's wrist!

The powerful demonic power destroyed the entire place in an instant.

The demon-hunting team, forced to defend themselves, saw a wisp of red demonic energy heading towards Nanzhi, who had suddenly appeared on the street, and finally merged into the jade pendant hanging from her waist.

Calm returned to the surrounding area.

Zhu Yan, Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao, Pei Sijing and Bai Jiu surrounded the southern branch.

Due to the scene change, Nanzhi, who was forced to close her eyes under the strong light, just opened her eyes and saw Zhu Yan's enlarged handsome face in front of her.

"Azhi, are you okay?" Zhu Yan asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Nanzhi shook her head: "I saw my father's memory."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhuo Yichen beside Zhu Yan one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was fine.

"Is the matter resolved?" Nanzhi asked. "Where's Chenghuang?"

"The matter has been resolved." Wen Xiao held Nanzhi's hand and smiled at her reassuringly: "Zhao Yuanzhou and I have activated half of the Bai Ze Ling in our bodies, and Cheng Huang..."

Bai Jiu pointed to the jade pendant on Nanzhi's waist and said, "He's in your jade pendant, Sister Shen."

Nanzhi was surprised and looked at the jade pendant around her waist. Then she thought, "I saw in my father's memories that Cheng Huang went to find my father first. My father made a vow to him to rescue me from the dungeon and send me out of Tiandu. The price was his own life force."

Zhuo Yichen was shocked: "So my uncle was murdered by Cheng Huang?!"

"No." Nanzhi shook her head. "Cheng Huang changed his mind after seeing me. He fulfilled my wish without charging any price. In exchange for the price my father had to pay, I asked him for an item as a place to live."

Nanzhi took off the jade pendant from her waist and said, "I think it's this one."

Holding the Shadow Hunting Bow tightly, Pei Sijing reached out to take Cheng Huang Qishen's jade pendant, but when she was about to get close, Wen Xiao grabbed her wrist.

She looked at Wen Xiao with sad and angry eyes.

Wen Xiao empathized with Pei Sijing's hatred and pain, but still explained to her, "Sister Pei, this is the only relic left to Nanzhi by her father, and it's been passed down from generation to generation."

Pei Sijing was unwilling to let Cheng Huang escape, but she still withdrew her hand.

"Is there any way to force him out?" Zhuo Yichen asked.

Zhu Yan shook his head: "He was just seriously injured by Bai Ze Ling. If he doesn't want to come out, no method will work."

After looking at everyone, Bai Jiu asked, "Then...what should we do now?"

Zhuo Yichen couldn't think of any good solution.

Zhu Yan said, "Let's go back."

"Cheng Huang is now in Nanzhi's jade pendant. The case has been concluded. There is no point in staying here any longer."

Before leaving, Zhu Yan quietly put into his sleeve the puppet of Pei Siheng, who had turned into an ordinary puppet after Cheng Huang had taken back his demonic power.
