Chapter 57 - What Happened?

Looking at Chao Bai’s serious and determined expression, Kong Rui finally realized that this person was telling the truth and he didn’t think that he was confessing or something.

He had long treated Kong Rui’s body as his possession!

What he wanted was a complete body with a soul!

Kong Rui immediately felt uncomfortable. She frowned and glared at Chao Bai as she said, “Return my body to me!”

Chao Bai revealed a smug smile. “No! Your body is in my hands now! I want to take back your soul as well!”

Kong Rui stared at Chao Bai. She knew that he wasn’t just saying that. He might really have a way to extract her soul from Li Ling’s body!

Kong Rui’s expression turned ugly, but she knew that she was no match for the other party.

Just as Kong Rui was thinking about how to escape, Chao Bai suddenly said, “Don’t you want to erase the mark that was planted in the Demon Abyss?”

Kong Rui’s eyes lit up when she heard Chao Bai’s words.

She rushed forward and grabbed Chao Bai’s hand with both hands. “Can you? Can that mark be erased?” she asked anxiously.

Kong Rui had long discovered that after her body entered the Demon Abyss, some kind of mark had been planted. This mark gradually deepened as she stayed in the Demon Abyss.

Most of the demon beasts in the Demon Abyss were trapped in the Demon Abyss because of this mark. Only a few like her, whose marks hadn’t deepened, could freely enter and exit the Demon Abyss. This was also the reason she could appear on Spirit Mountain.

However, even if she could leave the Demon Abyss for a while, she couldn’t escape the restrictions of the mark. Once she left the Demon Abyss for a long time, her body would begin to fester from the mark and eventually turn into a pool of blood.

…

“What happened here?” Hong Ling sounded confused and cautious.

“Sister Hong Ling, save me!” Zi Xuan called out to Hong Ling from the roof.

Hong Ling looked up at Zi Xuan and frowned. “Why are you there?”

As Hong Ling spoke, the red satin in her hand shot towards Zi Xuan’s waist. She wrapped it around Zi Xuan’s waist and tried to bring her down.

Unexpectedly, although Hong Ling exerted strength, Zi Xuan’s body showed no signs of moving.

Hong Ling’s expression changed slightly. “You met a mage?”

Zi Xuan stuck out her tongue. “I’m not sure, but there’s a high chance!”

“You’re not sure?” Hong Ling became even more baffled.

“I’m not sure because I didn’t think he was so powerful the last time I saw him!” Zi Xuan said indignantly.

“By the way, you’ve also seen him before. He’s the white-robed youth we met on the street last time!” Zi Xuan added enthusiastically.

When she heard Zi Xuan’s words, Hong Ling’s expression turned ugly. “I told you not to provoke him!”

Although Hong Ling was reprimanding Zi Xuan, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Although she could tell that the white-robed youth was extraordinary, since he was able to nail Zi Xuan to the roof and Hong Ling couldn’t easily untie Zi Xuan, it meant that his strength probably wasn’t inferior to hers!

Hong Ling formed a seal with one hand and muttered a few words before rolling the red satin towards Zi Xuan’s waist again.

This time, Hong Ling wasn’t in a hurry to pull the silk. Instead, she tapped at a few illusory spots beside Zi Xuan before pulling the silk off.

Zi Xuan’s body was finally freed from the roof.

As soon as Zi Xuan landed, she quickly exercised her limbs and sighed. “What an excellent viewing angle. It’s just not very comfortable!”

Hong Ling rolled her eyes at Zi Xuan before asking, “What’s with the people on the ground?”

The reason she came was that she heard that someone was causing trouble in this restaurant, and she and Zi Xuan had arranged to meet in the restaurant.

Hong Ling was afraid that Zi Xuan had caused trouble in the restaurant, but she didn’t expect to find Zi Xuan nailed to the roof when she arrived.

Zi Xuan looked at the wailing people on the ground, then at Nie Yin and the other two who were lying on the ground. Then, she shrugged and said, “I don’t know which girl that white-robed youth took a fancy to, but he insisted on taking her away. These people wanted to stop him, but they were beaten up. The rest of them were just watching from the side and were caught badmouthing her…”

Although what Zi Xuan said sounded unpleasant, it was the truth.
