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

Joey still clearly remembers the scenes from the baby girl's memory.

Before entering Shiqiao Village, the young Taoist nun had a dream.

In the dream, a white-haired woman appeared, wanting to bewitch her. Taking advantage of the increasingly sinister situation in Shiqiao Village, she hoped the Taoist nun could give her another push.

At that time, the white-haired woman still acted as a deity, bewitching others as she had always done.

Tell the Taoist nun that doing these things is in accordance with the Way of Heaven, and that she will make great progress in her cultivation.

Perhaps one can attain immortality.

The Taoist nun asked a question that seemed very strange to the shadow monster.

Why must one become an immortal?

"Because after becoming an immortal, one can become a god. Once a god is born, the physical body will never decay, and one can exist in the world forever, witnessing the rise and fall of the world. More importantly, this way one can live the life one wants."

The Taoist nun shook her head.

"Thank you for your guidance, but I don't want to become an immortal. I don't want to see the world decay. I only want to decay along with all things in the world and then reincarnate again. This is the natural way in my heart."

The white-haired woman didn't understand.

"You like Inugami, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

The white-haired woman pretended to be very considerate of the Taoist nun, and her tone became gentle.

"The dog god is no longer a mortal. Sometimes things are just unfair. It is a black dog, but it can quickly become a spirit and break the law of lifespan, but humans cannot."

"By doing this in Shiqiao Village, you've become an immortal, and naturally, you'll transcend human lifespan. Wouldn't it be better for the two of you to be together?"

The Taoist nun shook her head.

“Okay, but I want to break through through my own efforts, rather than being told what to do.”

The nun also said that she was very easygoing.

Even the Inugami will one day perish. If she were to remain immortal and only watch others die, she would suffer.

So she rejected the white-haired woman.

The location of the conversation in the dream was the small room where the white-haired woman was about to enter to suppress her heart.

So in the dream, the Taoist nun knew how to get in.

As usual, the white-haired woman exited the dream and sealed her memories.

As with anyone before, there were no flaws whatsoever.

If the Taoist nun does not comply, she will die in Shiqiao Village and become a vengeful ghost. In the end, all the mysteries will disappear as the vengeful ghost's soul dissipates.

That's how it should be.

However, the Taoist nun did not become a vengeful ghost after her death, and instead devoted herself to saving people. It was from this point that things took a turn for the worse.

As Joey recalled these events, the body containing her third soul naturally obtained the heart.

Without a Taoist nun, there wouldn't be enough time to find this path obscured by yang energy, yin energy, snake blood, and deer blood.

Giving Joey a couple of days would be fine.

However, it will become very troublesome within one or two hours.

Therefore, Qiao Yi sincerely thanked the Taoist nun.

At that moment, she stood in the open space and sent her heart back into Hua Ran's body. In an instant, Hua Ran's bleeding stopped and her breath ceased.

His pale face instantly regained color, which was different from the previous recovery.

The current Hua Ran truly exudes a captivating charm, the kind that would mesmerize anyone who glances at her, leaving them utterly drained.

This is the fox's innate allure.

It originates from the heart and flows through the limbs and bones.

Qiao Dawang stared at Hua Ran's face, getting closer and closer.

She couldn't help but murmur, "The fox... is so beautiful."

Inugami quickly patted Qiao Dawan.

"Don't stare too much at his face, or you'll be fooled if you're not careful!"

"Ah...ah!"

Hua Ran slowly awoke, opening her fox-like, alluring eyes, a glint of emerald light flashing in them.

Joey collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Master Wife...Master Wife!"

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired. My yang energy is almost depleted. I did too many things in a short period of time and used the Soul Transfer Technique."

Fortunately, things are coming to an end.

After Joey finished speaking, she pointed to the faceless, black shadow monster.

He whispered, "Zhulong, Qilin... the four of you will take my place and make it... disappear from this world."

After Joey finished speaking, her vision went black.

The system felt terrible.

As far as it knew, Baozi had never been so overworked.

This is almost comparable to the total amount of yang energy consumed by the Ghost King in the system world.

"Baozi, hey!"

Fortunately, Hua Ran had already come to Qiao Yi's side, supported her, and let her lie comfortably in her arms.

“My lady, you don’t need to work so hard anymore. Except for the eyes and tail which are not essential, all my body parts have been recovered. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

As Hua Ran spoke, she lowered her head and kissed Qiao Yi's little mouth.

What appears to be a tender kiss, a reunion after a brief separation, is actually him returning all the yang energy he took from his wife to her.

Even if it doesn't provide much relief, it shouldn't have made the wife so exhausted.

Qiao Dawang looked at the eyeshadow freak and grinned.

“I remember I was just one head short of completely falling into the demonic path and being corrupted by the evil energy. I have to settle this score with you.”

Therefore, Qiao Dawang was the first to be targeted.

In human form, it crawled on all fours and ran toward the Shadow Monster.

Without a physical body, the Shadow Monster's abilities were greatly diminished. As a result, it could not even run fast, and was quickly pinned to the ground by Qiao Dawang.

She roared, "I lost... In the end, Hua Ran didn't die, Qiao Yi is still alive, the four beasts returned to their positions, and thousands of years of anticipation came to nothing. I got nothing, I have nothing left!"

Her voice suddenly rose, but quickly turned into a desperate plea for mercy.

Because Zhulong, Qilin, and Jimeng all went over and tore at her body, tearing her dark shadow into pieces.

Joey knew that this was tearing at her soul.

She could feel the pain, and she could also feel the overwhelming fear.

So she kept shouting, switching back and forth between pleading and cursing.

Finally, all four beasts retreated, and the Shadow Monster's body completely disappeared, turning into a speck of light.

Only its head remained, rolling and wailing on the ground.

"Damn it... Is this the fate of the Sun God? Blessed by the heavens! No matter what mistakes I've made, I have a chance to atone and get back on track!"

"And I...and I've worked so hard, yet I was reborn as a shadow monster...It's not fair, it's not fair!"

Joey wanted to speak.

Hua Ran said, "My wife has never done anything wrong. You are the culprit who killed the people of the city! If you hadn't done it, they wouldn't have died."

Still not fair? Your birth was unfair to others!

Hua Ran exhaled and let Qiao Yi rest her head on his coat. He then got up and went to the location of the Shadow Monster's head.

He crouched down and fiddled with it.

"Ah~ So it has eyes~ That's great."

Hua Ran's eyes began to fill with red liquid, like tears of blood.

But Joey knew it was yin energy.

Hua Ran's eyes can captivate and instill fear, which actually originates from yin energy.

Soon, the shadow monster stopped moving and stared straight into Hua Ran's eyes.
