My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Even without the system saying anything, Joey sensed something was wrong.

The shattering of my own barrier was not due to any external force or magic, but because the space itself was devouring and eroding something.

The simultaneous passage and reversal of time inevitably lead to a collision, and this collision of time possesses the power to annihilate one's soul and spirit.

Bubbles are the product of collisions.

The system said, "According to monitoring, a large number of bubbles will fall soon, attacking indiscriminately. Even if you have a lot of yang energy and a fast hand seal speed, you can't consume it indefinitely..."

Joey took a deep breath.

The man with a birthmark on his face continued to cry for help.

"Master...save me!"

Joey whispered.

"Don't make any noise!"

"This is Zhulong, there's nothing you can do! No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the God of Time?"

The man was furious.

The one thing he hadn't considered was how powerful Hua Ran was!

How could a fox spirit possess such power?

Isn't he the little fox from Shiqiao Village whose limbs were nailed down and sacrificed?

Joey scoffed.

"Besides the Zhulong, Yeming and many other strange beasts also control time. A chaotic Zhulong would never kill me."

Joey had one hand behind her back and the other hand gripping the man's collar.

“Tell me anything about your master, and I’ll let you live if I find it useful.”

The man hesitated for a moment.

But after just one glance, he immediately shook his head.

“If I tell you, I’ll only die faster! If I pledge my loyalty now, my master will realize my worth, keep me by his side, and save me!”

He slapped Joey's hand away and ran to the side.

Joey sneered.

"Obsessive."

The system added, "Yes, he's seen so much, doesn't he know that his master is a ruthless person?"

The next moment, a large water bubble fell from the sky, and the man was unable to dodge it and was hit directly by the bubble.

My entire soul is slowly melting away.

"Do not……"

He was still calling for help.

"Master, save me...Master! You can see clearly, you know I didn't say anything, why won't you save me!"

From the legs to the hands, the man was eventually reduced to just his head.

He finally spoke to Joey.

"She... in a red dress... red..."

He uttered only four words before disappearing completely.

He is no longer in this world.

This is what it means for the soul to be scattered.

Joey touched her chin with one hand and muttered something.

"His master is a woman."

"Baozi only has a 'red dress'? What if it's not his owner's? What if... then he's a pervert..."

Joey shook her head.

"He said his master knew how good he was, and that his master would keep him by his side. In this world, only women would want to keep a man by their side."

Of course, the other person may also be attracted to the same sex.

However, judging from the various behaviors of men with birthmarks, the probability is basically zero.

"Tongtong, although the collision of the passage of time and the reversal has the power to destroy the soul, it cannot be completely aligned. As long as it is, there will be cracks in space, and I will use all my yang energy to break through the cracks."

"But... if you force your way through, you might experience a spatial rebound that could cause you to lose your memory."

Joey raised an eyebrow; she instantly understood.

Meanwhile, Hua Ran was still struggling to support Qiao Yi's body.

His face was deathly pale, and sweat began to drip from his chin.

She exuded vulnerability.

The fox's alluring eyes lost their sparkle.

But Hua Ran never once considered giving up on his wife.

The dog god paced back and forth to the side.

"You can't go on like this, you won't last more than a few days!"

“I can…and a few days is enough. My wife will definitely be back in a few days. This time won’t affect the baby.”

Hua Ran took a deep breath.

"As long as my wife returns and gives me back my yang energy, everything will return to normal."

Now, Hua Ran is expending her own physical body to replenish Qiao Yi's yang energy.

His arms, legs, and abdomen had noticeably shriveled up.

The blood in the body is also draining the yang energy obtained from the outside world.

Therefore, the entire talent pool is pale and powerless.

“You don’t need to worry about me… Instead of focusing all your attention on me, you should keep an eye on the surroundings and see what Zhulong is up to. That way, I can concentrate on helping my wife.”

But the dog god knew that the newly found physical body needed yang energy to strengthen it.

Besides, we haven't even found all the flower dyes yet.

Now, instead of using the yang energy he had absorbed from the outside, he used the remains he had just found to supply Qiao Yi with them.

"You'll die if you do that! Your soul will be scattered!"

"I can't... cough cough, cough!"

As Hua Ran spoke, she felt her blood rushing to her head.

He immediately slumped to one side, spitting out blood.

Because it happened so suddenly, Hua Ran's hand left Qiao Yi's body, and because of coughing, he fell to the ground.

He didn't care about anything else, and with blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, he shuffled back to his wife's side.

Joey's body withered quickly because of a temporary lack of yang energy.

Hua Ran's eyes immediately welled up with tears upon seeing this.

He then placed his hand on Joey's chest.

The grief of my wife's passing is still lingering in my mind!

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! My dear wife, I didn't mean it, I promise it won't happen again!"

"You absolutely cannot die this time, you absolutely cannot!"

Inugami was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean this time... Did you two know each other before?"

Hua Ran shook her head, then nodded.

There's a feeling of wanting to speak but being moved to tears.

It was as if this was a taboo he himself couldn't mention, and tears kept flowing.

“I… I may have known my wife in a past life.”

It makes sense that we knew each other in a past life; that's why seeing her brings a soul-stirring attraction.

She was in a good mood, and so was I.

She was sad and angry, but I was even sadder and angrier than her!

"I might be a sinner. The image of me murdering my wife keeps flashing through my mind. It's very possible that I really did kill her in a past life..."

As Hua Ran spoke, she laughed through her tears.

"But she loves me. In this life, she still came to find me and love me. So I absolutely... absolutely will not let anything happen to her again!"

Upon hearing this, Inugami decided not to scold Hanazon anymore.

He helped Hua Ran sit up on the bed.

But the next moment, as Hua Ran was about to stand up, "crack" sounded and one of his legs broke.

The excruciating pain made Hua Ran's body go limp.

But he bit down on his arm, swallowing the pain.

"Hua Ran! Your limbs are broken; you can no longer supply Qiao Yi with yang energy!"

Suddenly, a strong wind picked up outside.

The girl in her room suddenly stared blankly.

She saw the dragon's whiskers dancing not far away through the small window.

"What is that?!"

She was amazed.

Meanwhile, in a house far away in the dilapidated temple, the guardian bottle that Joey had left behind suddenly shattered.

Qiao Dawang revealed a wicked smile.

"She withdrew all her yang energy?"
