The fragrant shoulders, the jade-like back, the beautiful legs, the forward curve and backward jut; using these words to describe Xiao Ling's figure is not an exaggeration. Just as Xiao Ling peacefully took off her shirt, leaving only a cute pink bellyband and was about to take it off to sleep naked, a ghostly voice sounded.

"I died so miserably, you made my death so miserable, you're just going to sleep like that, what about me?"

Xiao Ling's mind buzzed when she heard this voice, because it was very familiar. She had just heard it not long ago and was pondering about this guy's well-being, worrying whether he had really died. Now, hearing his voice naturally gave her a huge fright.

"You, who are you?" Xiao Ling was so scared she shivered, couldn't help but ask with a tremor in her voice.

"Who am I? Have you forgotten? Truly forgetful, made me your scapegoat and then forgot about me. How can you be so heartless and unjust?"

"This... who, who made you a scapegoat, I don't know you." Xiao Ling, feeling some fear, insisted, but still said.

"Really don't know? Then let me remind you, you made me a scapegoat to lure away the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, while you yourself took the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, totally lacking in righteousness. Do you know how heartbroken I am? Do you know how miserable my death was? My body was covered in blood, not a piece unbroken, my head was chopped off, my eyes gouged out, tongue cut off, hands and feet severed, even..."

"Ah, stop, stop, I didn't do it intentionally, not on purpose, I didn't want you to die. I thought you were so powerful and could get away, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiao Ling seemed genuinely scared, and kept saying.

Ye Tianchen's ghostly voice lingered in Xiao Ling's wooden house, perhaps because it was buried underground, the environment was even more peculiar, making it all the more hair-raising. Although Xiao Ling had been living alone for so many years, her mind had become strong and tenacious, but she had never encountered anything like this before. Moreover, she felt a bit guilty inside, hoping that Ye Tianchen hadn't died, but was still alive. After all, she had used him, which is why she was so frightened upon suddenly hearing his voice.

"Sorry, does sorry help? Give me back my head, give me back my limbs, give me back my flesh and blood..."

"Ah, I truly didn't mean it, I just wanted to get the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg to save my mother. I didn't think it would cause your death, don't... If you really can't let it go, after I save my mother, I'll die with you if it comes to that!" Xiao Ling hugged her head with both hands, shouting loudly.

"Save your mother? What happened to your mother?"

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen's voice returned to normal, as if he was standing right in the room. Xiao Ling heard clearly, and was stunned, slowly putting her hands down, finding that Ye Tianchen was indeed standing in front of her, causing her to scream in fright:

"Ah..."

However, before Xiao Ling could finish screaming, she stopped herself, because she saw she wasn't mistaken, Ye Tianchen was standing intact before her, not the blood-drenched, solitary spirit kind of look, but rather a handsome appearance. Could it be that this guy wasn't dead, merely scaring her?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling plucked up courage, and slowly put her hands down, seeing Ye Tianchen sitting on a wooden stool, looking at her with a mischievous smile. Xiao Ling was not a foolish girl, just momentarily stunned because of guilt, but now realized that Ye Tianchen was alive and definitely scaring her. She angrily glared at Ye Tianchen, saying, "Big bully, shameless!"

"Ah? I'm shameless? Hey, you're the ungrateful one, using me as bait to lure the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon and then stole the egg. It's fine you stole the egg, but you ran off yourself too, almost costing me my life!" Ye Tianchen's emotions flared as well, uncontrollably raising his voice.

"I... I'm not ungrateful, I saved your life, it's only fair you helped me a little. Besides, you're fine now, aren't you? Still want to blame me!" Xiao Ling's face blushed adorably, though she wasn't sure how to refute Ye Tianchen.

"If I don't blame you, who do I blame? Do you know how fierce the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon is? I was aware you were using me, yet I helped you get the egg. Sigh, can't understand, disappointed, heartbroken!" Ye Tianchen put on an utterly disappointed expression as he spoke.

At this moment, Xiao Ling glanced at Ye Tianchen and said nothing, but moved to the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, holding it in her arms tightly, looking earnestly at Ye Tianchen as she said, "I didn't want to use you, but I had no other choice because it's very important to me!"

"This Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg is very important to every Martial Artist, important to me too. It's a necessary material for cultivation, even comparable to the Immortal Elixir, of course important!" Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ling and said.

"No, it holds a different meaning for me, I've exhausted every means to obtain it, not for something else, but for my mother, I want to use it to trade for my mother's life…" Xiao Ling said with a firm gaze at Ye Tianchen.

"Your mother's life? I find this hard to believe..." Ye Tianchen said probingly.

"Believe it or not, just wait until tomorrow. Once I've saved my mother, given your cultivation realm, killing me would be as easy as flipping your hand. I have no reason to lie to you, and you don't mind waiting just one day." Xiao Ling looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Xiao Ling. He already knew some things when he arrived. Regardless, such a girl, living alone for so long, and Xiao Ling's cultivation realm wasn't high. Surviving in such an environment is truly not easy. Ye Tianchen didn't have a dire need for the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, just some curiosity. Wanted to see if the egg was as Xiao Ling described, holding a wisp of Immortal Energy, capable of healing nearly incurable "Tao injuries," just curious, nothing more. Regarding solving the issue with two Superpowers clashing in his body, Ye Tianchen had thought about it, but it wasn't absolute. The egg's existence was unknown before, yet he got this far; let it be as if nothing was known!

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen gently waved his right hand, and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, tightly held by Xiao Ling, flew into Ye Tianchen's hand in an instant. Xiao Ling was shocked, hurriedly trying to seize it back but was blocked. Her cultivation realm was far inferior to Ye Tianchen's, easily confined by the aura of Martial Arts True Qi emanating from him, unable to move a step. Despite this, Xiao Ling didn't give up, stubbornly moving forward and loudly said, "Don't destroy it, I beg you, give it back to me... That is my life, that is my mother's life..."

Holding the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, Ye Tianchen ignored Xiao Ling and probed a powerful Divine Thought into it. As soon as Ye Tianchen's Divine Thought entered, he was taken aback, for he sensed a truly extraordinary force inside this egg. This force was very powerful; just a trace, yet overwhelmingly so. Ye Tianchen could clearly feel that this force did not belong to this Martial Arts World. Could it really be the Immortal Energy from the Immortal World? If the Immortal Energy truly exists, then it would indirectly prove the existence of the Immortal World? If the Immortal World exists, it undoubtedly gives countless cultivators immense hope; it's the most exciting thing imaginable. Countless cultivators, countless heavenly talents have died without ever seeing the hope of Eternal Life in the Immortal Path, but in the current world, these cultivators are waiting, waiting for a chance, ultimately they're just ants under this Martial Arts World. If at the end, there is still no Immortal Path, it would be a dead end!

"Such a powerful force, could there really be Immortal Energy inside?"

Everyone has curiosity, especially holding an object that possibly proves the existence of the Immortal World. It's shocking, wanting to see the truth. Unknowingly, Ye Tianchen's right hand formed a blade shape, releasing a powerful force manifesting as a blade, aiming to cut down on the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg.

"Don't..."

Suddenly, Xiao Ling shouted, snapping Ye Tianchen out of his curiosity-induced trance. He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ling, seeing her struggling, her lips already bleeding from biting. She wasn't Ye Tianchen's match, her cultivation realm far inferior, yet she hadn't given up, constantly struggling. Seeing Ye Tianchen about to break the egg, she couldn't help but scream, tears uncontrollably flowing from her eyes.

"Don't, don't destroy the egg, it's the only bargaining chip to save my mother..." Xiao Ling cried as she said.

Seeing Xiao Ling cry, especially such an elf-like girl, it moved anyone to some degree. Even a stone would likely feel a twinge in its heart seeing such an adorable girl weep. Ye Tianchen felt the same and was reluctant to break it! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.
