Even hybrid monsters have their day

If he's here, then where is Haotian? Where did he go? She didn't believe Haotian would let Qiu Pi come here alone to eavesdrop on such confidential matters.

Just then, Huangfu Aoxuan suddenly said, "I sense that my brother and the others are in trouble. The spiritual energy in their bodies is being drained at a much faster rate than before."

"It's Haotian, it must be him!" Geng Miaowan shouted with absolute certainty, and rushed towards the door, but she stopped abruptly about a meter away from the door. She found that she could not take another step forward.

"How could this be?" This discovery shocked her immensely. Seeing the ambiguous smile on Qiu Pi's face, Geng Miaowan suddenly reached out to grab him. "Was it you? What did you do to me?"

Qiu Pi took her hand and gently kissed the back of it. "No matter what I do, it's all for you."

Geng Miaowan withdrew her hand and wiped herself.

Qiu Pi seemed completely oblivious to the disgust on her face. He smiled slightly at her, waved his hand, and the surrounding rock walls receded, replaced by a huge cage. The cage that imprisoned Huangfu Aoxuan and Peng Yuxian were also inside this cage. As the cage appeared, Geng Miaowan felt the spiritual energy within her body surge.

"Wan'er, you didn't expect I would prepare one for you too, did you?...Hehe..." As the cage appeared and Geng Miaowan's face turned ashen, Jiu Pi chuckled softly.

"Qiu Pi, you bastard! You pervert, let me out!"

"Pervert?" Qiu Pi's eyes suddenly turned to her, sharp as two blades. He rushed towards Geng Miaowan. He stopped just as close as possible to the cage, a look of near madness flashing across his face.

"Do you know what it feels like to have someone you can't have? Who made me fall in love with her again and again, only to leave without a word each time? When you made me taste this bitterness of unrequited love again and again, did you ever think about how cruel and twisted you were? Geng Miaowan, when I realized that the scenes in my dreams weren't just illusions, I swore to myself. One day, I will make sure you can never disappear from my side again!"

He looked very hurt. Geng Miaowan never imagined that she would cause him such harm while doing a mission. But even so, it couldn't justify his imprisonment.

"So, you told Haotian about Luan Hao's situation?"

"Yes."

"So it was you who revealed the matter of the Huangfu brothers to Haotian?"

"Yes."

"You placed Huangfu Aoxuan here just to lure me here and force Peng Yuxian to tell the truth?"

"Yes."

"Qiu Pi, you really underestimated you!"

“Yes, you really shouldn’t underestimate me.” Qiu Pi answered her decisively. As long as those shady characters were no longer around her, he was confident he could keep her under control. “This time, I will never let you disappear from my sight again!”

"Qiu Pi, as long as you let me out, we'll wipe the slate clean and I won't hold a grudge against you."

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. As long as you promise to stay by my side and not disappear for no reason again, I'll let you out." He answered irrelevantly. "Think about it carefully yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Don't go, Qiu Pi, don't go!" However, no matter how much Geng Miaowan shouted, Qiu Pi ignored her.

Soon, his figure disappeared from sight, and Geng Miaowan slid to the ground in a daze. What should she do now?

Huangfu Aoxuan and Xu Ruwen also emerged from her sea of ​​consciousness. The group gathered together, trying to come up with a solution, but they couldn't think of anything despite racking their brains.

Suddenly, a clear, melodious laugh rang out, but it was suppressed as if someone was holding back.

"It seems that I have arrived at the right time."

The people inside the cages all looked at the man who had suddenly appeared outside, their faces filled with confusion. Geng Miaowan was the first to stand up. "Who are you?"

"You really have a bad memory. If I'm not mistaken, that ring on your hand should be mine, right?"

"A ring?" Everyone turned their attention to the storage ring on her hand, quickly searching their minds for any connection to the ring.

"You are... that Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Zijian?" Geng Miaowan immediately denied her guess, "No way, why would Zhang Zijian come here?"

But once this thought crossed her mind, she felt that the person in front of her, not only in appearance but also in his gentle and refined demeanor, was exactly the same as Zhang Zijian.

"Could you really be Zhang Tianshuai...?"

Zhang Zijian nodded with a smile, "Thanks to you, I was able to have an epiphany. I said I would remember this favor. Later, I went there to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I never imagined that this debt would last for hundreds of years..."

"Quick, quick, I'll teach you how to open this thing." Geng Miaowan didn't stand on ceremony. She was incredibly excited by Zhang Zijian's sudden appearance. Putting aside whether he could rescue them, the fact that he had traveled all this way to repay her favor made her feel that good people in this world are rewarded.

But now is not the time for sentimentality. "You came at just the right time!"

Xu Ruwen and Geng Miaowan met quite late, so Xu Ruwen didn't know who Zhang Zijian was. Huangfu Aoxuan briefly explained it to him.

Zhang Zijian replied calmly, "No need, I can do it."

Then he began to work on disabling the device, which greatly surprised Geng Miaowan, who couldn't help but ask, "How do you know how to do this?"

His fingers flew across the control panel, his mouth never idle. "I was watching from the sidelines the whole time. I've been practicing spatial transformation lately, and who knew I'd suddenly end up in this space, and then, by sheer coincidence, I saw you being carried back to the Demon Palace by Haotian on Mount Buzhou. So I stayed here, wanting to see what he was up to. Your bead was imprisoned in that cave, and I finally managed to get my hands on it, but it's been severely corroded by immortal energy. I put it in the innermost part, near the demonic energy, where the demonic energy is most abundant and pure, hoping it will help it. When I rushed over to find you, I didn't expect to see Qiu Pi and Haotian eavesdropping on your conversation outside, so I hid."

"You found Luan Hao? Since you knew they had captured Luan Hao, why didn't you tell me sooner? I wouldn't have put Brother Huangfu in danger."

"If I had told you sooner, how would I have known what other cards they had up their sleeve? What if they pulled out a card that neither of us could handle? We'd all be finished." (To be continued.)
