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

But Joey's cool demeanor lasted less than three seconds.

Because she didn't control the heat well.

The yang energy caused the fire emanating from the Foundation-Setting Sword to be too intense, burning even the most crucial screen.

She was desperately trying to put out the fire.

He kicked over the screen and then started thrashing about.

"Quick, quick, give me water, it's on fire! Without this screen, how can I see the person behind these things?"

The system was also confused.

“Baozi, you’re using your usual yang energy. Oh! I forgot, you’re now all yang. Your body is yang without the ability to see yin and yang, so naturally your yang energy is stronger than if your eyes are open but your body is unharmed. Therefore, with the same amount of yang energy, the flames of the Foundation-Setting Sword are larger than in the previous world.”

"Yes, I didn't expect that either..."

Qiao Yi turned around and saw that Hua Ran was still standing there blankly, so she hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly, bring me that pot of tea."

Hua Ran rolled her eyes.

I thought to myself, can't you just stay in my heart a little longer?

The wife's performance just now was absolutely breathtaking!

But he obediently did as he was told, and even helped step on the screen to put out the fire.

Finally, the screen was saved.

Joey breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK OK."

She looked up and saw Hua Ran smiling at her; in that instant, it felt like a gentle spring breeze.

Hua Ran was a little shy and swayed her body.

Her tender red lips opened and closed, as if she were saying something.

For some reason, Joey was stunned.

It was as if my soul had been sucked away.

The system sighed, "Baby, baby! Although it's not appropriate to bother you right now, listen carefully to what they're saying. The fox spirit is saying that your face is covered in ash, ash from the burnt wood of the screen!"

Joey immediately shook her head.

Looking at Hua Ran again, he was indeed pointing to the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to.

In the end, I could only give an embarrassed smile.

He even poked her chest with his hand.

"Little girl~ wipe your face~"

Gan!

"Tongtong, you've come at just the right time. I was just lost in thought about the screen."

"You'd better think about the screen. Ah... the seventh anomaly disappeared automatically, leaving only a red dot on the map."

Joey looked at the screen again, and there was a line of blood-red words on it.

North of Shiqiao Village.

"Oh? So you're willing to meet me now."

Joey looked up at the sky and took a deep breath of the polluted air.

"They all don't want me to see the truth, but I'm determined to see it."

She and Hua Ran arrived at the north side of Shiqiao Village.

There was a dilapidated wooden hut, and a woman in a Taoist robe was already standing at the door.

The Taoist nun had only a hint of black aura around her, but her eyes were very clear.

Unlike the dead deer and weasel we saw before.

"you……"

"Miss Qiao, don't let my appearance fool you. I'm no longer targeting you. The incident with the screen was just a test. You were able to pass it, which means you're stronger than me. Only then can you solve the mysteries that I haven't been able to solve."

She then looked at the flowers behind Qiao Yi.

He bowed to Hua Ran.

"Young master, please forgive me if my magic just now frightened you. My skills are not very good, and the magic was not very impressive."

Hua Ran was initially quite enthusiastic.

He came over and started yelling at me.

You've prevented my wife and me from sleeping together!

Seeing how polite the other person was, he also gave a small bow, saying, "Those little tricks won't scare me."

Joey couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

In the darkness of night, in the desolate wilderness.

The Taoist nun got straight to the point.

She said that Joey was the woman with the most yang energy she had ever seen in all the years she had been here.

"It's fortunate you came. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to protect these souls. There's a monster suppressed at the bottom of this mountain that will suck them away."

She shifted slightly, and behind her stood a row of souls.

There was Granny Shen, who had recently passed away, and some women dressed in Taoist robes holding whisks.

The Taoist nun said that she had protected all these souls.

She couldn't protect Wang Po's daughter who died a few days ago.

It was encircled and taken away by a black bubble.

"That monster seems to be looking for food, and souls are its food. Over the years, I have become the eighth anomaly, firstly because I was amassing a trap due to my lack of skill, and secondly because I am here to guard these souls and prevent that monster from gaining nourishment."

Joey thought it over and over, and realized that what the Taoist nun and the dead deer said made sense.

She asked, "The monster you're talking about, is it a fox spirit?"

"It's not a fox spirit!"

Joey raised an eyebrow. So sure?

The Taoist nun explicitly stated that she had also seen the phantom fox emerging from the fox statue.

The white-robed priestess mistook it for a fox spirit, but whether it was or not, she didn't want to investigate.

She lingered here after her death and witnessed the fox phantom bursting the black bubble.

It was because of this that she was certain the monster was not a fox spirit.

"Moreover, I saw one of the monster's claws. It was very large and dark green. At first, it transformed into the color of stone, making it unrecognizable. Later, I discovered that it was moving, and that's when I realized it was a living creature. It was at the bottom of the fox's underground palace."

Hua Ran felt disgusted by what he heard, so he ran behind Qiao Yi again.

He was holding onto one of Joey's arms.

Joey felt it was inconvenient, so she pulled her arm out.

Enraged, Hua Ran turned around and kicked the stone on the ground.

The Taoist nun added, "Miss Qiao, have you never seen the external shape of this mountain before?"

"Yes... I was born here and have never left."

The Taoist nun glanced at Qiao Yi, seemingly trying to discern the truth from her expression.

However, she gave up quickly.

She said, "The reason I came in is because there is a halo around this mountain that ordinary people can't see, but people with the ability to see ghosts can."

"Then, looking at the mountain from the outside, the shape is also very strange. Originally, this village was nestled in the mountains with two narrow exits, one in front and one behind. But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that due to a mudslide, the rubble at the top of the mountain blocked the paths on both sides, turning it into..."

Joey chimed in, "A coffin, a naturally formed coffin, that's the kind that gathers the most yin energy."

"Correct."

Joey thought for a moment and then let out a long "Oh".

"I've figured it out, it's a triple loop."

It's very simple to explain.

Whether it was the white-robed priest performing sacrifices to the village women or drawing pictures to gather yin energy, it was all to accumulate yin energy for the fox spirit in the fox statue.

The constant flow of yin energy allows the fox spirit to gain power without doing anything, thus suppressing the monsters below.

Without these yin-gathering activities, the fox spirit would have to obtain yin energy on its own in order to fight against the monster.

Where does yin energy come from?

Then blood rained down from the sky, drowning the villagers.

It instantly gained a large amount of Yin energy and suppressed it all at once.

"okay."

Joey snapped her fingers. "I know everything. Now, I'll take all the souls you're protecting, including you, and guarantee you won't be captured. Are you willing to come out of this depravity?"

The Taoist nun pondered for a moment.

"According to you, if I stop possessing the strange phenomena, the fox spirit will kill everyone in the village to gather yin energy, then wouldn't that mean..."

Joey smiled.

“Let him come. If even one innocent person in this village dies, I’ll write my name backwards.”
