"My husband must hate me for burning you with fire! ...But Qing Ji hadn't realized back then, now Qing Ji already understands her mistake!..."

After speaking, Qing Ji put down the white paper umbrella in her hand, raised her head, and looked at Su Ziyu pitifully.

Sure enough, the acting is still not up to par!

Su Ziyu was caught in a dilemma now, he could only stiffen his neck and say, "You really have the wrong person! I am not your husband!"

"My name is Su Ziyu."

"I come from Huaxia and am not from Fusang."

A tragic scream came from not far away.

Su Ziyu turned his head and saw that the defensive line on Abe no Seimei's side was almost about to collapse.

Originally, the Earthbound Yaksha was not enough to put Abe no Seimei in such a predicament. As the most powerful Yin Yang Master of this era, he naturally had more than just one White Dragon Spirit; his other Shikigami were also quite formidable in battle. However, having provoked many female demons in the past, when the Snow Woman and Momiji Ghost Woman both started attacking, Abe no Seimei's pressure increased tremendously. Even his Shikigami were nearly insufficient, and he himself was desperately dodging and avoiding the pursuit of the two female ghosts.

Jieyi Master was being held at bay by the Red Prajna, a demon that was extremely ferocious and left no survivors in its attacks.

From this perspective, Su Ziyu seemed to be the only one skimming the surface and doing nothing noteworthy on the battlefield.

But who could understand the pressure he felt inside!

Taking this opportunity, Su Ziyu immediately prepared to make his exit, clasping his hands towards Qing Ji in front of him, "My friend needs help! I'll take my leave first!"

"Kyoto is not safe right now."

"Miss, you should leave here early."

After saying this, Su Ziyu's figure swiftly shot out, moving faster than usual, by about thirty percent, directly heading towards Abe no Seimei's location. He planned to charge in, use some powerful attacks, then don the Invisibility Cloak to hide. No matter what, his priority was to shake off Qing Ji first.

"Husband!" A haunting female voice suddenly reached his ears.

Qing Ji's figure appeared on Su Ziyu's right side, gliding with the wind like an immortal in exile, slightly turning her head to look at Su Ziyu beside her, giving a cunning smile, "Husband is going to save them? I can help too!"

Many great demons' flying abilities are not inferior to Su Ziyu's.

After transforming into the White Snake, Qing Ji seemed to have broken through a certain critical point. If other great demons had legendary level strength, then the White Snake-transformed Qing Ji might have gone even further.

He probably couldn't really defeat her!

Su Ziyu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, but fortunately, since meeting him, Qing Ji had always acted timidly and spoke softly as if afraid of scaring him. This was probably related to the last scene in the True Dream Realm. Su Ziyu could confirm that Qing Ji's dream should be different from his; she didn't seem to remember all those dreams from before, but only the one where Su Ziyu cleared the dream for the last time.

If she remembered the previous ones too, Qing Ji's attitude towards him probably wouldn't be so gentle.

The Dream Burrower's methods were amazing!

Su Ziyu didn't know what had happened at the time, but guessed that due to the Dream World, Qing Ji became the White Snake form in front of him. Her demonic and baleful aura had dissipated completely, as if Su Ziyu had dissolved her hatred in the dream, allowing her to transcend the identity of a demon and gain a hint of Eastern immortal spirit.

It's like the difference between a Fox Immortal and Fox Demon; a demon that cannot shed its beast nature and demonic qi cannot enter the gate of the celestial path.

Though she had a hint of celestial aura, Qing Ji's methods remained quite intense. Towards people other than Su Ziyu, she was very ruthless.

It was very much like the Qing Ji from the past.

Clang!

Su Ziyu drew the Meteor Slash from his waist and struck at the nearby evil spirits and monsters, Qing Ji in snow-white clothes followed right behind him, yet she did not rush into action, leisurely trailing Su Ziyu, redirecting her attacks only when the demons overwhelmed. She would then transform into an afterimage, disappearing from sight, and by the time she reappeared, quite a few monsters had been taken down.

"Husband is mighty!"

"Husband is brave!"

"Husband, be careful!"

Qing Ji held the white paper umbrella to shield Su Ziyu, occasionally issuing a sweet-sounding compliment. Just when Su Ziyu was getting closer to Abe no Seimei, a gust of chilling wind suddenly blasted over, Qing Ji's expression changed instantly, opening the white paper umbrella, transforming into a pale blue shadow trying to protect Su Ziyu.

—"Spiritual Protection Field!"

Su Ziyu reacted swiftly. When sharp ice spikes appeared before him, he already activated his Spiritual Protection Field.

The ice spikes halted ten centimeters before him, then tinkled to the ground.

Snow Woman.

Initially appearing as a gentle beauty, the Snow Woman now transformed into a demon-like form, her previously black hair turned crystalline white, her turquoise eyes devoid of emotion, suspended ten meters in mid-air, surrounded by drifting snowflakes.

"Alert! Alert!"

"You've entered the range influenced by [Ice and Snow] Spiritual Qi!..."

The surrounding temperature began to plummet.

Within a single breath, Su Ziyu felt the temperature around him drop below zero, his exhaled breath turning into visible mist, the ground icing over in frost, his body feeling slightly stiff, evidently impacted by the adverse effects of Spiritual Qi.

"Husband."

"Are you cold? Let me warm you!" As Qing Ji's voice emerged, Su Ziyu immediately felt a surge of warmth flooding over, quickly dispelling the chill, even causing a slight, uneasy heat.

The Snow Woman maintained a wary expression, studying Qing Ji with cold enmity, "Qing Ji! You're a demon too!"

"Why are you helping them?"

Qing Ji didn't even glance at the Snow Woman in mid-air, her eyes remained on Su Ziyu, speaking calmly, "Human or demon. What does it have to do with me?"

"I've only come here for my husband."

"Now that I've finally found him, naturally I want to be by his side forever."

"If my husband finds you troublesome."

"Then naturally, I shall rid him of this trouble."

Once Su Ziyu's breath returned to normal, and the frost around him melted away, Qing Ji turned to give the Snow Woman a proper look, eyeing her stony, unfeeling form wistfully, "If I hadn't met him, wouldn't I be like her?"

Thinking this, a sudden joy erupted in her heart, her gaze upon Su Ziyu becoming increasingly tender.

"Hmph!" the Snow Woman snorted coldly.

Su Ziyu had initially anticipated a fierce battle ensuing, but unexpectedly, the Snow Woman, with no hesitation, turned and transformed into a flurry of snowflakes, disappearing from sight.

She fled!

The Snow Woman left decisively, catching even Su Ziyu off guard.

Such a clever demon.

Sensing trouble, she fled swiftly, not even greeting Momiji Ghost Woman from afar, electing for a prompt exit herself.

"Hee hee!"

"What a pity! It seems I won't be able to claim Lord Abe no Seimei's life tonight!" Momiji Ghost Woman's figure flashed, appearing dozens of meters away, casting a slightly irritated glance at the dispersing snow, sweeping her gaze over Su Ziyu and Qing Ji in front, giggling, she tossed Abe no Seimei a flirtatious look, her tone soft but gaze icy, "But no mind."

"The day Lord Abe no Seimei's life runs out, I shall visit once more!"

A cascade of red maple leaves fell.

Then Momiji Ghost Woman's figure vanished from the spot, seemingly using some peculiar escape technique.

Boom!

The massive body of the Earthbound Yaksha broke through a building to appear before them, the next moment, the gazes of Su Ziyu, Qing Ji, Abe no Seimei and others all fixed on it.

A formidable pressure bore down upon them.

The Earthbound Yaksha wore a bemused expression, glancing around, a hint of confusion surfacing as it contemplated life's existential questions.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
