Even hybrid monsters have their day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thinking of this, Xu Ruwen's lips curled into a wicked smile. He made several hand gestures in front of his chest, then lightly waved his index and middle fingers in front of his eyes. Instantly, his eyes flashed with silver light, and spiritual energy poured out.

Geng Miaowan felt her consciousness fading again. Xu Ruwen's face gradually blurred, replaced by a stunningly beautiful face. She knew this must be some kind of magic Xu Ruwen had used again, but for some reason, upon seeing that face, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

The water vapor within her body began to swirl again without her suppression, and with the large amount of spiritual energy that Xu Ruwen had just released, the two different streams of spiritual energy began a fierce battle within her body.

"Infinite Temptation?" The voice from within the purple mist exclaimed in shock, "How does he know this technique!"

What surprised him even more was that, through his mental connection with Geng Miaowan, he saw that the person she saw after being under the influence of Infinite Temptation was actually her! How could this be?

At this moment, Geng Miaowan could no longer hear the sound coming from Bu Ziwu, and was still immersed in an indescribable sadness. The water mist in her body gradually weakened. Although it was not yet absorbed out of her body by Xu Ruwen, a small part of it had begun to move with Xu Ruwen's spiritual energy.

Seeing this, a thin wisp of purple mist emanated from the purple fog and swirled into it. Geng Miaowan felt a jolt in her spirit. An indescribable pain shot through her body, and she cried out "Ah..." regaining consciousness, but her body remained immobile.

"I can help you break free from his control, but you have to promise me one thing," the voice from the purple mist said.

"well……"

Seeing that Xu Ruwen was about to kiss her again, she would agree to anything, whether it was one thing or ten or a hundred, without hesitation.

After receiving her reply, Ziwu did not act immediately. Instead, she remained silent for a while before speaking, "Now, regain control of the spiritual energy in your body and let it enter the thing on your wrist, making contact with the spiritual energy inside."

Oh right, how could she forget that? Lemo said this thing could save lives in a crisis. But, "spiritual energy?"

"It's these white water droplets."

"Ah..." From beginning to end, she never thought that the water mist in her body was spiritual energy, because the water mist was so different from the spiritual energy that Xu Ruwen released, and even more different from the spiritual energy that came out of the purple mist.

She wasn't surprised for long. She quickly regained control of the spiritual energy in her body and slowly guided it towards her wrist, where it soon reached its destination. As soon as it touched the object on her wrist, the spiritual energy seemed to gain its own consciousness and enter it.

Instantly, the air around Geng Miaowan underwent a dramatic change, and a powerful aura surged forth, directly confronting Xu Ruwen.

Xu Ruwen was startled by this sudden change, but before he could even release Geng Miaowan and escape, he was struck by this energy. Although this energy was enormous, it did not cause any real harm; it only impacted the opponent's mind.

"Undercurrent Explosion? You're actually a Guardian?" Xu Ruwen steadied himself. He had dealt with quite a few Guardians over the years and knew most of their members, but he had no idea when this little girl had appeared. Not only did she lack the aura characteristic of a Guardian, but her cultivation level was also only at the Qi Refining stage.

He had truly misjudged her; he had actually thought this girl was a hidden master. He suddenly felt like he'd been tricked. For a man of his stature, with his Seven-Tailed Fox cultivation already at the Divine Travel stage, to be outsmarted by such a little girl—he simply couldn't swallow this insult.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruwen looked at Geng Miaowan and a moment of darkness flashed in his eyes, as if he was about to spit fire. "I never thought that someone who claims to be a guardian of justice would do such a thing as attacking people from behind. Fine, let's settle our old and new scores together."

After saying that, he readjusted his internal energy, trying to gather his spiritual power to end the little girl's life.

Normally, Xu Ruwen wouldn't have taken the minor undercurrent attack seriously. However, the crucial point was that when he cast his charm spell, his mind was fully open, especially after changing it to Infinite Temptation, which placed his mind in a completely exposed state. This sudden attack severely damaged his mental strength, making it impossible for him to suppress the chaotic spiritual energy surging within him due to the interrupted spell. He was in a very bad state.

However, it's not visible on the outside.

Looking at Xu Ruwen, who was completely unharmed, Geng Miaowan inwardly grumbled, "This Le Mo stuff is really useless. It was supposed to save my life." The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that, after being disturbed by this energy, she regained control of her body.

"Um...you must have made a mistake. I...I'm not a guardian...well, let's say goodbye forever..." Seeing that Xu Ruwen looked like he wanted to devour her, she quickly ran away without looking back.

After running a few hundred meters, Xu Ruwen's voice came from behind, "Let's see where you can run to!" It was still that clear and gentle voice, but at this moment it sounded like a death knell to Geng Miaowan's ears.

She quickened her pace, desperately calling out in her mind, "Purple Mist, Purple Mist, help me quickly."

A clear, cool voice rang out, "Haven't I already helped you?"

That's called helping, it only involved saying one sentence, okay? However, Geng Miaowan obviously didn't dare to speak to Ziwu like that, since she needed her help now. She changed her tone, with a hint of pleading, "Um... this hero, good man, please save this humble woman..."

"Luan Hao." A voice suddenly came from within the purple mist.

"what?"

"My name is Luan Hao."

"Ah...that...that..." Geng Miaowan actually wanted to say that in such a critical moment, who cares what your name is, as long as you can lend a helping hand, that's enough, but she just couldn't say a complete sentence.

She suddenly remembered the person she met on her journey of reincarnation that day; the voice that came from the sky back then must have been Luan Hao. It turned out that the person residing in her body was that alluring man in purple.

In that brief moment of distraction, Xu Ruwen had already caught up with her and blocked her way.

Xu Ruwen looked at Geng Miaowan with a sinister glint in his eyes, "Although you're just a minor Qi Refining stage cultivator, it's better than nothing. I'll use you as a snack for now."

Geng Miaowan stammered and backed away, her eyes darting left and right, trying to find a way to escape. "Ah, um...um...is there some misunderstanding between us...I...I'm not a guardian at all."
