Chapter 140: Imprisonment and “Rescue”

“You’re making me angry.” At this point, Yucui Zi was already in front of me. With its “anger declaration,” its cold and shady hand, like a poisonous snake, actually pinched my neck.

I’m very big right now, aren’t I? How could one of its hands possibly be around my neck? I was already in a state of extreme fatigue, so my thinking had also become slow and even a bit messy.

So I saw that the palm of Yucuizi’s hand that grabbed my neck was so huge that it was “instantly enlarged.” Even the soul must follow certain rules. It’s not like you can change into whatever you want. It’s like a person’s soul can’t turn into a dog or a cat, right?

However, this change did not surprise me at all. It only shows that the soul power of this Rakshasa has reached an extreme, and it can make such changes at will.

Yucuizi pinched my neck like this, slowly pulling my body. A king, the absolute king of that vast, old forest is now being dragged by a ghost. Isn’t it embarrassing?

I felt the anger of the stupid tiger, an anger that would rather die than be subdued. I calmed him down, telling him that this was the advantage of having four legs. If you lose one leg, you can still stand on three. If you lose two legs, you’ll have to kneel down! This is not the worst thing that can happen, so don’t be angry. We… we still have to wait for an opportunity.

Yucuizi’s hand slowly tightened, and it pointed to my cold mouth: “I am the marshal of the city lord, and I am also a demon. The crime you committed against the city lord cannot be easily forgiven with death. You must give your value.”

What value could I possibly have? I was already a very lonely bachelor at this point, and I was just waiting for that opportunity!

Yucuizi stared at me, and suddenly a charming light burst from her eyes, like a wave of flowing crystal water, so intoxicating.

Is it here? I know very well what a demon is, and this demon is a Rakshasa? I barely summoned all my strength and the strongest will in my heart to avoid its eyes. I knew that if I looked at it again, I would be completely lost.

“Can you avoid it?” My body was still being dragged, and another cold hand was placed on my tiger face. I remember that if I am not mistaken, there was a wound on the cheek there that was once scratched by Yucui. At this time, there was a sharp and piercing pain there, indicating that the vicious ghost Rakshasa had already pinched her fingernails into my wound, and then slowly turned my head.

I sneered to myself, looking at the ghosts who had gathered to worship Yucui. Their marshal had used a single move to subdue this arrogant tiger.

I have to admit that Yucuizi’s power is seemingly light and floating, but in fact it carries an infinite amount of spiritual power, which is absolutely suppressing to me, who is already weak. No, even if I fight with it in its prime, I will lose! One of its moves can suppress me! Just as a ten-year-old child’s martial arts moves are exquisite, can he beat a strong man in his prime? Can he win in a strength contest?

I finally deeply understood the words of Yucuizi. Outside, its power was far inferior to that in the Ghost City, especially in this hall. It had never shown me such powerful spiritual power outside, and it mostly used charm. It seemed to like charm very much, including now.

Therefore, my remaining power cannot be wasted on Yucui. It is shameful to waste it in this crisis, but how can I allow these red-robed ghosts to be pleased?

That was now… My head had been slowly moved by Yucui toward it, and at that moment, I suddenly roared into the sky, bursting with the last of my strength to break free of Yucui’s hands, and then swung a claw toward the ghosts that had gathered, worshipping their marshal.

The last of the gathered spiritual power exploded, and a huge shadow of a tiger’s paw appeared in the air in an instant, with five similarly cold and gleaming tiger claws reaching out and fiercely clawing at the gathered ghosts!

At such a close distance, such a sudden explosion… it should always seriously injure a few ghost generals, or even kill one or two, right? I felt a great sense of relief in my heart, looking at this group of ghost generals who had no time to react, and suddenly I wanted to laugh wildly at the sky!

But I couldn’t, because I saw Yucuizi make a move. It wanted to save me. With its speed, if it deliberately tried to save me, it should be able to reduce the power of my final blow by a lot. How could it succeed?!

At this moment, I gathered my last bit of strength and simply burned my soul power. With the unyielding will in my heart, at the moment when Yucuizi disappeared, I relied entirely on the direction guided by my spiritual sense, which I had always been proud of, and crashed headlong into a place.

It was like crashing into a wall of iron and steel. I felt dizzy, but I was very happy because I had bet right. Yucuizi was knocked away by me, and then I heard the sound of the ghosts crying and howling. How many were dead? Unfortunately, Silu didn’t laugh at this expression.

In the end… the final “conspiracy” was that I deliberately kept the forearm that had not yet released its soul power. When I was tangled with the ghost holding the mace, I deliberately chose to let the forearm that had already “wielded its power” be injured.

At this moment, I was already completely weak and lying on the ground. A force enveloped me, and even if I could break the soul bond, I couldn’t do it. It was Yucuizi! She didn’t have the heart to talk to me anymore. I was completely locked in place, and I couldn’t even close my eyes. My eyes directly collided with Yucuizi’s eyes!

It’s not going to use its soul power to fight me, is it? This was the last thought I had while I was still conscious.

“If you’re not dead, come two more and finish it off. If you don’t die, that’s fine. The rest, go control its companions. If they’re a threat, don’t hold back, just kill them.” Yu Cuizi’s cold words echoed in my ears. Unfortunately, I no longer had any emotions. Yu Cuizi’s eyes were like needles that had penetrated my brain, making me feel an unprecedented sense of comfort. It was like the most exhausted person soaking in a comfortable hot spring, finally able to rest. I just wanted to hold onto this comfort, so why bother with anything else?

And I, who was still clutching my hands together, could not possibly have any emotions, because it would have been impossible to perform the art of the moxa without this special environment. So, where was the energy to feel the outside world?

I wanted to sleep, and suddenly I didn’t think that Yucui was so scary. In fact, it was very warm. It was the warmest thing in the world, and it gave me such good comfort. How could I hurt it?

Even, should I love it? My eyes suddenly became confused, and the Yucui in front of me was like the most lovable person in the world. I couldn’t think of anyone else. My world became a chaos, including two red-robed ghosts walking towards me. One of them kicked me hard, but the pain couldn’t make my eyes shift even a little bit. Even if my life was only left with the last moments, I just wanted to look at it foolishly…

The waves of punches and kicks with anger fell on me, and the pain in my body was not as bad as the comfort and comfort in my heart. Even if I clearly saw in the corner of my eye that four red-robed ghosts rushed towards the group, I didn’t care. Should I care?

The next moment, I fell into a dark abyss. In my entire world, there was only Yucui, sitting high above me like a goddess. She looked at me and suddenly said to me, “Are you willing to do anything for me?”

Its eyes were like the brightest light in the darkness, my only hope in the darkness.

I had already roared countless times in my heart that I was willing, but there was always a weak will that prevented me from saying that I was willing. It was telling me that if I said it, I would be doomed!

What is this will? It is so familiar, as if it has been with me since birth. I was in pain, and Yucizi kept urging, “Are you willing? Are you willing?”

What a sad feeling! This sadness was more anxiety than the pain in my body, so much so that I completely ignored the unusually loud footsteps in my ears.

How could I possibly think in this state, in this absolute mental confinement, why would footsteps enter my ears?

Yucui seemed to be a little anxious, constantly urging me. I no longer wanted to struggle. I looked up and thought I would say yes, which was the most true thought in my heart. But then I saw two green lights suddenly appear in the dark space. What were they?

I was confused, and then I saw that the green light suddenly grew larger, tearing the darkness in an instant. Then the darkness in front of me disappeared, and various noisy sounds entered my ears again. The first thing I saw was a pair of green eyes.

I could even feel a force blocking me and Yucui, and all the memories I had lost came flooding back to me, followed by a soft female voice in my ear: “Brother Bai, you should rest. You’re tired.”
