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

The barrier shattered with a "crack".

Fox phantoms emerged from the severed hand on the dog god's body, emitting cries like those of a crying infant.

It hissed at Joey, revealing its gaping maw.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

Joey scoffed.

"Go ahead, do you think you can fool me like this?"

The vines converged and continued forward, forming a large, thick trunk. Finally, a huge fox broke through the vines and ran towards Joey.

It has a lithe and agile figure, and a body as solid as a mountain.

Joey gripped the hilt of her sword and darted past in a flash, "whoosh."

She had already appeared behind the dog god.

The dog god stared blankly ahead, motionless.

Hua Ran whispered, "My mistress?"

Joey flicked the Foundation-Building Sword in her hand, and the sword transformed into yang energy and dissipated.

Inugami staggered, and the severed hand on his back fell off, breaking in two.

This time, the infant's cry never came again, and the dark aura on the severed hand completely dissipated.

Vines also spread from the dog god's body.

Just as the dog god was about to fall, someone caught him.

"Be careful."

A very peaceful voice.

Inugami knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

In his blurry vision, he saw that it was his sister, his master.

Hua Ran was startled.

"My lady, that nun's soul hasn't left yet..."

Joey raised her index finger and shushed everyone.

She also knew that it was troublesome that the nun's soul hadn't left.

I'm afraid that if she stays for another fifteen minutes, the nun's soul will dissipate.

When the time comes, she will be reduced to ashes and unable to be reincarnated. Though the world is vast, she will never exist again.

But there are many things that she can't do just because you ask her to.

They have their own ideas and principles.

Qiao Yi came to Hua Ran's side and told him not to disturb the dog god and the Taoist nun.

Hua Ran nodded and showed all the chicks in her arms to Qiao Yi.

“My lady, look, I have protected you very well.”

"They're perfectly fine if you don't eat them."

"Humph~"

Hua Ran leaned softly into Qiao Yi's arms, even deliberately pulling Qiao Yi down to sit, and then completely collapsed into her embrace.

Joey told him to be quiet.

Hua Ran grabbed Qiao Yi's hand and covered her mouth.

He didn't care whether I spoke or not.

It's quite nice to be close to my wife like this. The key is that my wife is radiating a lot of yang energy right now, and I'm absorbing a lot of it too.

As for the dog god, his almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears as he held the Taoist nun's hand, unwilling to let go.

"elder sister……"

"Sister, I don't actually hate you... Even if you poisoned me, I still want to stay here and keep watching you..."

As Inugami spoke, he slowly knelt on the ground.

He said he had seen his physical body and that it was very well protected by his sister.

Even his sister used the last bit of her yang energy to protect him.

He deeply resented that for so many years, despite living in the same village as his sister, he hadn't spoken to her properly because of his resentment.

So many years have been wasted.

The Taoist nun smiled and shook her head.

"It's okay. It's true that I didn't explain enough to you. At the time, I only wanted to protect you, so I didn't think too much about it. Besides, if I didn't tell you, you would really get poisoned and others would believe it."

The dog god's slender body shrank to a tiny size, even after the Taoist nun touched his face.

He looked aggrieved with tears in his eyes, and tried to lean forward so that the Taoist nun could touch his face a little more.

It's like when it doesn't have a human form, its owner touches its fur and its head.

“Sister, you shouldn’t have died. You did so many good deeds. You were the most promising young person in the Taoist temple… You were clearly helping them…”

The nun's eyes also reddened.

She crouched down and patted Inugami on the shoulder.

"This is fate, my calamity, I can't escape it. We are destined to be together. It will be better for you to follow Miss Qiao in the future than to follow me."

Hua Ran rolled her eyes in Qiao Yi's arms.

Well, here comes another burden.

However, Hua Ran knew that this burden didn't like the wife, but liked that Taoist nun.

So it's not too bad.

Then look at the dog god; he suddenly embraced the Taoist nun.

It was as if he had merged himself into the nun's body.

But both of them were just souls.

They simply cannot draw warmth from each other.

"Itsuki said in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry."

"Sister, I want to be with you forever. I'll go wherever you go. If only you could really poison me... then I could be reincarnated with you... What if I can't find you after you're reincarnated? What if someone bullies you and I can't protect you?"

The Taoist nun continued to stroke the dog god's head, only saying repeatedly, "No, it won't happen."

After a while, the dog god suddenly kissed the Taoist nun boldly.

He's very tough, as if he's used up all the toughness he's ever had in his life.

He kissed her carefully, but without any lust.

Suddenly, he bit the nun's lip, leaving a tooth mark on her soul.

After kissing her, he suddenly pushed her away into the distance.

Behind the Taoist nun was a dark entrance, which was actually the final resting place that was about to close.

"Sister, go and be reincarnated!"

After saying that, he turned and disappeared.

The Taoist nun stood at the dark entrance and bowed to Qiao Yi.

"Inugami, please trouble Miss Qiao with your help."

Once everything had calmed down, Hua Ran asked, "Where did that stupid dog go?"

"He must have returned to his physical body. He's been separated from his body for a long time, so he'll probably need to sleep before he wakes up."

Joey looked at the severed hand.

The severed hand, split in two, still remained smooth and supple.

Joey wanted to keep the severed hand and study it slowly.

Just as she got up and took two steps, Hua Ran suddenly felt dizzy and her vision went black.

He raised his hand to grab Joey's sleeve, but his hand had no strength.

It barely grazed the fabric of her sleeve before she fell forward.

"Master Wife...Master Wife..."

Hua Ran opened her mouth wide, but could only make very faint sounds.

The scattered chicks kept chirping, attracting Joey's attention.

When she turned around, she saw that Hua Ran had completely collapsed to the ground.

"Flower dyeing!"

Joey no longer cared about anything else and went over to pull Hua Ran into her arms.

Hua Ran's vision became even more blurred, and he reached out to smooth Qiao Yi's furrowed brows.

Tell her you're fine.

But even his hands fell limply to his sides.

Finally, his head lolled to the side, and he lost consciousness completely.

"Hua Ran, Hua Ran! Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Joey thought there was something wrong with the wound on Hua Ran's abdomen.

However, when they lifted Hua Ran's clothes, they found that the wound on Hua Ran's abdomen had not reopened at all, and was actually healing remarkably well.

"strangeness!"

Qiao Yi picked up Hua Ran around the waist and ran towards her residence.

She didn't know if the yin energy from the severed hand was too strong, causing it to impact Hua Ran.

But my own yang energy should be enough to protect him.

Joey is now going to take Hua Ran away from here.

The system said in Qiao Yi's mind, "Baby, don't panic, you're too flustered."

"I don't!"

The system sighed.

Such a rebuttal is nothing but panic.

What Joey didn't know was that the severed hand, which had been split in two, actually moved twice.
