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

The man was startled, not expecting that Qiao Yi was on guard.

But she was determined to let Joey die here.

With his other hand, he formed a mudra with his index and middle fingers, and the doors and windows of the entire house closed instantly, with talismans pasted on the doors, windows, and roof.

Thick blood flowed down the talisman.

But she underestimated it.

Instantly, the body felt a piercing pain.

A sharp spear emerged from his chest.

The surrounding tables, chairs, and benches were all pierced by the spear.

Joey was ultimately one step ahead of her.

"When...you didn't lose your memory?! Impossible...you could only get out by breaking through the chaotic space of the Candle Dragon and losing your memory..."

Unfortunately, you're mistaken.

Joey gripped the sword firmly in both hands and slashed at her fiercely.

In an instant, all the talismans pasted on the room were shattered by Qiao Yi's yang energy, the house exploded, and cracks appeared on the face of the standing man.

"You want to kill me here, and weaken me through the Candle Dragon, so you must be very afraid of me. Tell me, you coward! We've never met before. Do you really want to kill me just because I broke the Yin formation you set up in Shiqiao Village?"

The other person didn't say anything, and a piece of skin on their face completely shattered and fell off.

The woman immediately covered it with both hands.

I was extremely anxious and afraid.

But Joey still saw the upper half of her face and froze for a moment.

"Everyone! Take screenshots!"

"Ah...ah?! Yes!"

Even the system was surprised.

It's because... the half of that guy's face that was showing looked exactly like Joey's.

Only the glimpse of white peeking through the crack told Joey that her hair was silver-white.

"who are you?"

At the same time, Joey asked the system a question using her consciousness.

"Tongtong, there is only one 'Joey' in each world, right? I am the Joey from the system's ghost-catching world who died and transmigrated into the body of the Joey in this world, the one in the coffin in Stone Bridge Village."

"Correct!"

"In that case, an ordinary woman couldn't possibly have a derivative like Hanazono. So who is this guy, and why does he look just like me?"

Joey was shocked.

Once the "second brother-in-law's" appearance is broken down, revealing the true face of the villain, at this moment, the villain has no chance to use magic to transform into someone else's appearance.

Qiao Yi stepped forward again, "White Hair...you know the Derivative Flower Dye? You've even been setting up formations to gather Yin energy for the Derivative Flower Dye. What exactly is your relationship with me!?"

The person continued to cover their face.

He sneered, "Of course, it's because I want you dead!"

With a mournful roar of a beast, the black, white, and red colors finally began to recede from the corridor, allowing the colors from outside to shine in.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear and bright.

Joey knew that Zhulong had been found by Huaran and had been completely defeated.

The strange woman clicked her tongue.

"Consider it me giving you five severed limbs. You still have five left... no, even if you only have one left, it doesn't mean I lost!"

Then the system said again: "Baby, Qiao Zan's indiscriminate attack is coming! Dodge quickly!"

Joey immediately turned away and jumped to the other side.

Then a huge fireball came rolling rapidly from a distance, striking the villain and hitting the Qiankun Spear that Joey had set up, allowing the guy to escape.

The person's voice could still be heard from the sky.

“Joey…you don’t have a fourth life. I could kill you in the previous two lives, and I can do it again in this one!”

"You saw my face, so I'm not at a loss, because at least you don't know my identity. As for the Taoist nun who knows my identity, she will turn back into the fetus in her womb. Next time we meet, I will find the Taoist nun's reincarnation and let you see her corpse!"

The previous two lives?

Damn it, she had a second goal this time, which was to find the reincarnation of the Taoist nun!

Joey angrily smashed a nearby rock.

"Damn it! Jozan really did come to help her! If it weren't for that fireball, she wouldn't have been able to escape!"

Joey then asked the system, "You captured the upper half of that woman's face, right? Compare it to the image; is it my face?"

"Yes……"

The system was also surprised.

"If you didn't look exactly alike, I wouldn't have been stunned just now..."

Joey bit her lower lip, feeling as if the world was endless.

As soon as one puzzle is solved, another one pops up.

It will never end.

Qiao Yi told herself to calm down and went to Hua Ran's side.

A colossal creature lay before Hua Ran, with eyes the size of copper bells, a crimson body, and vertically elongated eyes.

It is Zhulong.

However, it was not as ferocious as described in the book. It was severely injured by its own yang energy, and after hiding in the maze, it was dragged out by Hua Ran and was already on the verge of death.

"Hana-ran, have the severed limbs returned?"

"Mmm! Both hands are back, and this time I can feel them. Touching the baby's little bumps feels real! My wife... do you want to touch them?"

But Hua Ran quickly pulled her hand back.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have acted like a child with my wife at this time..."

Qiao Yi took Hua Ran's hand and kissed it.

Hua Ran immediately shuddered as if she had been electrocuted.

"My wife...please..."

"It's alright, the matter of Yunxian Village is now over."

As soon as Zhulong moved, Qiao Yi quickly shielded Hua Ran behind her.

"Are you still struggling?"

"No...I want...I want to see Master..."

Zhulong stared at Qiaoyi, its eyes slowly clearing from cloudy to bright.

Soon, large tears began to flow.

“Master…it really is you, my master…”

"I?"

“I…I can never go back to your side, Master…I did something wrong, I can no longer serve you…It was all her conspiracy…We can never go back to the past…Master, you can never return to your former glory…”

Hua Ran frowned. "What are you talking about? Let me tell you, you deserve what you've done. Don't try to mislead my wife with strange words!"

Qiao Yi suddenly thought of Qiao Dawang, that glutton.

If the cubs of Taotie recognize their master after being defeated, then what does Zhulong mean by that?

Suddenly, Zhulong's eyes widened, staring straight ahead.

"They...they've all come. The people I've eaten, the souls I've imprisoned, they've all come looking for me...I will be annihilated, and the world...will cease to exist..."

Hua Ran turned around but saw nothing, only sensing a chilling aura.

Joey sensed it too.

"This is the backlash of resentment. The ghosts in the maze were all devoured by it. Only a huge number of them could support a maze. But now that Zhulong is about to die, they naturally do not want to let go of this opportunity. So even if they are destroyed, they will use their meager strength to pull Zhulong into the abyss."

Soon, Zhulong cried out, as if he were being devoured by a thousand ghosts.

Before long, the light in Zhulong's eyes went out, his soul dissipated, leaving only an empty shell.

Just as Joey was about to say something, Inugami's exclamation came from not far away.

"Sister... Sister, don't disappear!"
