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

Of course, Joey wanted to capture the fox spirit, because if the fox spirit and the female ghost were working together, eliminating one of them first would be a perfectly normal approach.

She put two fingers together, and a row of talismans appeared from her sleeve.

These talismans were strung together, forming a chain that directly bound the fox spirit.

But Joey also found it strange.

This fox spirit is nothing like the spirits I've captured before.

He has abundant yin energy.

And he actually protected that infant ghost.

"Did you agree to absorb the infant ghost together, which is why you didn't eat it yourselves?"

"What? I don't eat those things, I don't eat ghosts..."

The fox spirit attempted to heal her wounds using magic.

But something even stranger happened.

His wounds will not heal.

"Well!"

In contrast to yin and yang, he even vomited blood.

The flow of qi and blood becomes even more vigorous.

"Strange... what exactly are you?"

Joey raised an eyebrow. "Can't you tell? I'm a Taoist nun, a Taoist nun who specializes in catching ghosts and monsters."

"But how could a normal person have such a strong yang energy as you?"

You should know that he had fought against Qiongqi, one of the Four Fiends, and had not been at a disadvantage.

And the Qilin is also included.

This woman's yang energy is clearly superior to that of the Qilin.

Joey gripped the Foundation Sword again, pointing it directly at the fox spirit.

"Speak! Where is that female ghost? Why did she set up a barrier here? Is it not for revenge, but for some other purpose?"

The fox spirit raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "How would I know?"

"I do not……"

Before she could finish speaking, Joey's sword was already piercing the fox spirit's calf.

Blood flowed down his beautiful clothes.

"you!"

The fox spirit swallowed her painful groan and looked at Joey with bloodshot eyes.

Joey remained indifferent.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense, I just want a definite answer."

The vixen bit her lower lip and glared angrily at Joey.

"Who exactly are you? I have cultivated for a thousand years and have never seen a Daoist nun like you before..."

Joey grabbed the vixen by the collar.

They simply lifted the man up.

"Tell me, where is your ghostly lover?!"

The vixen went limp and fell into her arms.

It carries a strong lotus fragrance.

Joey was startled, feeling strange all over, her body burning with heat, and she almost couldn't calm herself down.

This vixen is using seductive arts on her!

And it truly bewitched her, who possessed a pure yang constitution!

Before this, all spells should have been ineffective against her!

Qiao Yi pulled Hua Ran up even harder, poured water down his throat onto the bed in the guest room, and then pressed down on him.

"You used a charm spell on me, trying to distract me?!"

The fox spirit was also enraged.

"I didn't! What woman is worthy of my using seduction magic? Bah! I'm ashamed!"

The fox spirit's forehead was sweaty; his two wounds were not healing, and he was grimacing in pain.

He had never suffered such pain before!

Because he rarely gets injured, and even when he does, the injuries heal immediately; this situation has never occurred before.

"My legs hurt... I can't stand up."

Joey's face darkened further.

"If you still won't talk, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and infused it with spiritual energy, then approached the fox spirit directly.

The heat from the palm gave the fox spirit a fleeting illusion.

She... could burn me to a crisp.

"Will you talk or not? You only get one chance. If you miss it, don't blame me for making you suffer the most!"

The fox spirit's mouth opened slightly, and after only a moment's hesitation, Joey's burning palm struck him squarely in the chest.

In an instant, his vision went black, and he felt like he was really going to be burned to death.

In the moment before his mind went blank and he lost consciousness, he thought, "Why is this woman so disobedient—or rather, so disobedient to the fox?"

If his thousand years of cultivation are destroyed because of this, he will haunt this woman even as a ghost!

Wait a minute... This woman has such high yang energy, can he really not let her go even if he becomes a ghost?

It might be completely destroyed...

Then the fox spirit was plunged into complete darkness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a dimly lit place.

Not in a house, but even... in a cave!

"how do I……"

He tried to get up, only to find his hands wrapped in ropes made of talisman paper.

"This...this isn't over yet!"

Furthermore, the fox spirit discovered that there were talismans stuck to her abdomen and calves.

It looks like I received some kind of temporary treatment.

However, the treatment was very perfunctory.

Joey sat down to meditate by the candlelight.

With eyes closed and hands raised, seemingly casually resting on his lap, he was actually creating a protective barrier around the cave.

The fox spirit couldn't help but mutter, "Weren't they going to kill me? I thought I was going to see my great-grandmother!"

Joey closed her eyes and said, "I was originally going to kill you."

The fox spirit immediately blinked, "And then at that moment, you realized I was innocent? But you can't just let it go like that—stabbing me and slashing my leg!"

Before he could say anything, Qiao Yi said, "But just as I was about to kill you, that female ghost ambushed me, clearly intending to save you."

what! ?

The vixen was practically pressing her philtrum.

Is that female ghost a bastard?!

She actually saved him at such a crucial moment? He doesn't even know who she is; doesn't that just make it harder for him to clear his name?!

The fox spirit was so angry that she started coughing!

"She's sick! I'm innocent. The reason I protected that baby was because I didn't want the baby to be absorbed by the female ghost! I wanted to take the baby out, but I found that the child couldn't get out, I don't know what was holding him back. And then...and then you came!"

Joey frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

She was about to speak, but coughed first.

The fox spirit then realized she was injured.

"Were you attacked by a female ghost?"

Joey neither nodded nor shook her head, and didn't say a word.

Because she still didn't believe in this vixen.

What's also strange about her is her attitude towards that female ghost.

Why was she able to attack herself?

I have already created a barrier around my physical body.

She shouldn't be able to get in.

Could it be... that female ghost wasn't just an aggregate of resentment, but something else entirely?

Tsk! If only she had kept a part of her soul inside her body, she would have known exactly what was going on.

hateful!

Joey took another breath and turned to look at the fox spirit.

This time, the Foundation-Setting Sword disappeared, replaced by the Qiankun Spear.

She pointed the tip of her Qiankun Spear at the fox spirit's face and said, "She saved you, how long are you going to keep lying to me? Tell me, where is that female ghost hiding!"

"I...I really don't know..."

The next moment, the fox spirit was in excruciating pain all over her body.

His entire body was surrounded by flames, a low concentration of yang energy, not enough to kill the fox spirit, but enough to cause him pain.

There's no problem with yin and yang being in harmony, but the premise is that the amounts of the two are equal.

Otherwise, it's torture.

"Ahhhh!"
