Even hybrid monsters have their day

At this moment, Jin Mo was entangled by Heng Yihao, and Bu Luoyuan was helping him hold Heng Yihao back. Mu Yuebin, the only one who saw this scene, was too far away to help. All four of them could only watch helplessly as the spell was struck towards Geng Miaowan.

Xu Ruwen turned to leave after casting his spell, but suddenly heard a sharp shout from behind Geng Miaowan, "Xu Ruwen, where are you going!" Then a pink figure darted past her. A moment later, several more figures 'whooshed' past her.

But not a single person stopped to help Geng Miaowan dodge the attack.

Geng Miaowan didn't have time to think about who these people were. Her first reaction was to dodge to the side. Although she moved quickly, the aftershocks of the spell were still enough to hurt her. She was already prepared for the pain when she heard the purple mist in her body speak again, "Huangfu Aoxuan, are you still not going to make a move? Do you want to die?"

Immediately afterward, another somewhat childish voice rang out in dissatisfaction, "Do you need to tell me!"

Before Geng Miaowan could figure out what was going on, Xiaobai, who had been cuddling at her feet, suddenly turned around and firmly pinned its limbs to the ground.

He stretched his body, tilted his head back, and let out a roar unlike any other towards the ball of magic.

"Aww..." The spell hit Little White squarely.

"Ah, Xiaobai!" Geng Miaowan exclaimed, but what happened in front of her surprised her so much that she didn't even have time to close her mouth.

Although the spell was aimed directly at Little White, it didn't hit it; instead, it swallowed it whole. After swallowing the spell...

He burped, swayed, and returned to Geng Miaowan's side with a smug look on his face.

Geng Miaowan was stunned.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.

Even the one who performed the spell, Xu Ruwen, was stunned.

What the hell is this little thing?

How could it swallow the spell of a master at the Divine Ascension stage without any harm? Geng Miaowan quickly picked up Xiaobai and checked it over thoroughly, afraid that it might be injured somewhere.

The battle continued. After a moment of stunned silence, the newly joined fighters engaged Xu Ruwen in combat. Xu Ruwen was already at his limit, being simultaneously attacked by a master at the peak of the Demon Core stage and four Bone Refining stage cultivators. Although he was two realms higher than them, he was exhausted from expending most of his energy fighting Jin Mo and the others for half a day.

By the time Geng Miaowan's attention shifted from Xiaobai to the fight, Xu Ruwen had already been subdued by the group that had appeared later. Heng Yihao had also returned to normal, and they were currently arguing with the new group.

Because they were quite far apart, she couldn't hear very clearly. After several rounds of arguing, a very alluring woman came up to Geng Miaowan in a victorious manner and said, "Little girl, you did well, and that little guy did well too."

Then, she leaned close to Geng Miaowan's ear and whispered a few words before leaving with her entourage and Xu Ruwen, looking arrogant and haughty.

Xu Ruwen didn't show any frustration at being caught. As he passed by Geng Miaowan, he smiled wickedly and said to her, "Little girl, I'll remember this debt."

Geng Miaowan didn't take his words to heart. After all, he would be in the underworld and she in the human world; they would likely never see each other again. She dusted herself off and planned to thank Jin Mo and the others before leaving.

"What did that witch say?" Bu Luoyuan came to her side and asked her angrily.

“She said…” She glanced at the other three. Although they didn’t ask aloud, they all looked at her with the same expression. She stammered, “She said I should follow her, that I have no future with you guys…”

"What? That vixen actually dared to say that!" Bu Luoyuan's words seemed to spit fire.

Heng Yihao was also furious, shouting in a rough voice, "That shameless vixen! Not only does she always steal our credit, but this time she even tried to pull someone away right in front of us! This is outrageous!" He then put his arm around Geng Miaowan's shoulder and continued, "Miaowan, let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't listen to that vixen!"

"Following your brothers will only lead to a bright future. Following that vixen will only bring you no future; she's full of evil intentions."

Geng Miaowan wondered when she had ever said she wanted to follow them. She struggled, but couldn't break free from his bear-like paws, and could only let him hold her.

Mu Yuebin looked at Jin Mo,

"Captain, we've been following Xu Ruwen for so long, and now Diao Lanrong has snatched him away like this. I'm really not happy about it."

Bu Luoyuan: "Yes, I'm not reconciled either!"

"I'm not reconciled either!" Heng Yihao chimed in. "What Diao Lanrong? I think she's just a shrew, no, a shrewish demon!"

Jin Mo's expression wasn't very good either. In order to catch Xu Ruwen, that old fox, they had been lying in wait for several years and had gone to great lengths to force him to this remote and impoverished place. They even went so far as to exploit innocent people against their conscience, but at the last minute, they were snatched away by Diao Lanrong.

Thinking about it, he also felt somewhat aggrieved. But he had nowhere to vent his frustration. Just as Diao Lanrong had said, if it weren't for her and her men's timely intervention, Xu Ruwen would have definitely escaped again.

She actually knew that it was Geng Miaowan's undercurrent that injured Xu Ruwen, which shows that the woman had been hiding in the shadows from beginning to end, and only appeared after they had exhausted his strength. Such forbearance is something that not an ordinary person can do.

What a clever trick – the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Jin Mo could only accept her bad luck; nothing good ever came of running into that woman.

He composed himself and tried to calm them down, "Let it go. It's not the first time anyway. Like she said, if she hadn't shown up, Xu Ruwen might have gotten away again. As long as we catch him, it doesn't matter who caught him. We can go back and hand in our mission, and that will be the end of our job."

Mu Yuebin, Bu Luoyuan, and Heng Yihao all rolled their eyes secretly. They were clearly seething inside, but pretended to be magnanimous. However, they all tacitly refrained from saying anything, and each packed their belongings, preparing to return home.

Geng Miaowan approached Jin Mo and thanked him, "Captain Jin, I was able to escape danger thanks to you all this time. Now that you're going back, I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, she planned to leave with Xiaobai.

"Wait, you can't leave yet." Jin Mo stopped Geng Miaowan, who was about to leave, and said, "I hope you can come back to the Underworld with us one more time."
