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

"It's nothing, don't make any sudden movements, don't aggravate the wound."

Joey hugged Hua Ran back into her arms.

She has been unusually close to Hua Ran lately.

This practice of spraying breath on the other person's face is now quite common.

Joey didn't look out of place at all.

Hua Ran blew air into Qiao Yi's neck.

"Hmm, my wife, what were you thinking about just now?"

"I'm thinking... how can I prevent you from getting hurt because of me again."

Hua Ran pursed her lips, trying to distinguish between the real and the fake.

However, he soon found himself staring at Joey's profile in a daze.

"My lady, you are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful woman in the world..."

Joey chuckled.

"You're beautiful too, you're the most beautiful... fox in the world!"

"You... hate it!"

Hua Ran reached out and poked Qiao Yi's little face.

He thought that his wife probably hadn't noticed anything.

He felt a little relieved.

At this moment, Joey's attention was not on this, because the system had given her a disgusting task.

"Baozi, stop right there. You have to choose one of the two tasks."

"Ahem, either... you two take a bath naked in front of everyone and kiss, or... within five hours, you make the vixen open her heart to you."

Joey was about to curse.

The system added, "You know that the location system doesn't usually release many tasks, but when it does, the rewards are huge. Completing this task will reward you with one Memory Recall Pill. Note: This is the opposite of the Amnesia Pill. If you accidentally take the Amnesia Pill, you can use the Memory Recall Pill to recover your memory."

"Who would accidentally eat that!"

But Joey thought about it for a moment.

The original mission was for her to go to Wuming Mountain and obtain the Demon Mirror, but before the mission was completed, she learned a lot.

For example, the fact that Hua Ran is a state of soul.

The system also stated that once you arrive in this world, the system's tasks will be guided, although it is currently unclear why the system, as a machine, would provide guidance.

While Joey was deep in thought, the system said again: "If you do not select a task or skip it, the system's location function will be affected."

"Are there any penalties?"

"If you make your choice ten minutes later, you'll have to do both tasks..."

Joey almost strained her back.

She staggered slightly, and Hua Ran immediately asked, "My lady, what's wrong? Were you injured again?"

"Oh no, I just couldn't see the road."

Hua Ran angrily twirled her fingers.

I wondered if I had gained weight.

No, I need to lose weight!

Joey thought to herself, "Is there even a choice? Of course I'd choose to open my heart! I don't want to die!"

"late……"

"It hasn't been ten minutes yet, don't try to fool me!"

The system emitted a pitiful sound, probably biting a handkerchief on the screen.

"Is your relationship with them really that untrustworthy? You said, 'Do we even need to choose?' which implied that we don't need to choose and should accept both."

Joey wanted to curse after hearing that!

Even in her own world, she didn't take a bath naked in public.

"Hey, you don't mind kissing my lips~"

"..."

The system said the only benefit is the bathing part, which has a time limit of half a month, so there's no rush.

"Won't I be afraid the society will collapse in two weeks?"

Joey let out a frustrated sigh.

After exiting the fox statue, she saw the woman who had been killing male ghosts earlier standing blankly in the middle of the mountain.

His eyes were somewhat vacant, and the jade pendant he held in his hand had lost its luster.

Joey immediately understood.

"That jade pendant was the one that covered her eyes before, right? Because the broken leg in the fox statue is gone, the receptor for receiving yin energy is no longer there, so this so-called fairyland has returned to its original appearance."

The flowers are dyed without a care.

"She should face reality! Cultivating Taoism and immortality... pshaw, is that something that involves severing love? When my wife and I were in bed together, she was passionate, but I didn't see her being impotent."

"Cough cough!"

Qiao Yi told Hua Ran to stop.

She first put the flower dye on the ground and said, "I'm going to talk to that woman. She can't accept reality and might do something terrible. I'm afraid she'll hurt you."

Hua Ran grabbed Qiao Yi's wrist.

"My lady... how far away do you want to be from me?"

"It's not far. You can sit here. There won't be such a comfortable place any further ahead."

What does Hua Ran want to refute?

He feels uneasy when his wife is too far away from him.

Then Joey added another sentence.

"You're injured, so stay here."

Hua Ran was speechless for a moment.

Injured...

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have made so many wounds.

Hua Ran could only nod.

When Joey arrived at the woman's side, the woman was still frowning, staring blankly ahead.

She even reached out as if to touch something.

Joey immediately interrupted her.

"Illusions cannot be grasped."

"But I haven't abandoned my emotions yet, and my cultivation hasn't improved either."

Joey looked at the woman's feet stepping on the black golden stem flowers, then looked back at the dilapidated house from which the crying could be heard. Dozens of men inside stretched out their pale arms, and the entire exterior wall of the house was flowing with resentful blood.

She said, "You've fallen into demonic possession."

The woman's hand trembled slightly.

She cast another spell, and what emerged from the river was no longer a glamorous male ghost.

Instead, it was a male ghost, covered in wounds and blood.

The woman immediately took a step back after seeing it.

Feigning composure, he crushed the spell, and the male vengeful ghost transformed into bloody light spots, dissipating into the air.

"No...it was you who did it."

"I?"

Joey smiled indifferently. "You know yourself, it wasn't me. You killed him, do you regret it?"

"We agreed that everything we do is for the sake of seeking the truth, for reaching a higher level, and for helping more people. We will never regret it."

"But have you ever considered that you've been deceived? Your 'him' had no choice but to let you kill him, hoping you'd fall into the demonic path slower?"

In her world, the demon is manipulated by resentment, constantly filled with anger and unable to find peace. Over time, her uncontrollable rage grows rampant, devouring her original consciousness and harming both herself and others.

The world is probably similar.

"Have you ever considered that all he ever wanted was to be with you, and that even after his death he kept pleading for your help?"

The woman immediately looked at Joey.

His eyes held a hint of disapproval.

“He’s gone! He has attained enlightenment! Don’t speak as if you’ve seen him before.”

Joey pointed to the dark little river and said, "He was there before I entered the fox statue, he's always been there, but he's gone now. He should attain enlightenment in the future, because he can see clearly, while you can't. The two of you will never be together."

The woman's lips trembled.

She tried hard to suppress her emotions, but her hands trembled more and more, and she couldn't even control her clenched fists.

Before Joey could say anything more, the woman suddenly attacked, turning her hand into a palm that pierced through Joey's chest.

Blood droplets splattered out instantly.

Joey's eyes widened.

Hua Ran was originally idly touching the small flowers around him with his fingertips, but when he saw this, his heart stopped beating instantly.

"Wife master!"
