Bai Lingmiao laughed, laughing so loudly and joyfully that she seemed to want to vent everything accumulated in her heart through laughter.

In all the time he had spent with Bai Lingmiao, Li Huowang had never seen her show such an expression.

"Give me the sword! Give me the sword now!!" Li Huowang trembled as he walked towards Bai Lingmiao, who was holding the sword.

But just as he walked up to her, Li Huowang saw the white-haired girl raise her right hand and stab the long sword straight towards his chest.

As the sword rose, Li Huowang's chest instantly opened up, exposing his constantly beating heart to the cold air.

The next moment, Bai Lingmiao leaned in, tightly pressing against Li Huowang, and the blood gushing from his body quickly stained her light-colored clothes red.

"Ah..." Bai Lingmiao's face showed a hint of relief.

Looking at the unfamiliar Bai Lingmiao in front of him, Li Huowang was about to speak when he saw her tilt her head and kiss him.

A few breaths later, Bai Lingmiao slowly raised her head to look at Li Huowang again, her mouth slightly upturned as she laughed once more.

Trembling, Li Huowang held Bai Lingmiao's face, struggling to speak. "Miao Miao, please don't do this."

Like Lv Xiucai before her, the evil spirit on the Purple Spike Sword had ultimately changed Bai Lingmiao's personality.

Bai Lingmiao's expression gradually converged, as if she had turned back into the gentle girl she used to be. She asked shyly, "Senior Li... is this okay?"

Just as a glimmer of hope appeared in Li Huowang's eyes, Bai Lingmiao's shyness was instantly replaced by excitement. "Hahaha! How could that be possible! What are you daydreaming about?"

"I don't want to go back to being that kind of self-pitying ghost! I don't care about anything now! Honestly, I feel so free! And besides, look at you, and then look at me! We're such a perfect match! Hahaha!!"

As she spoke these crazy words, occasionally something only seen in the fairy world, like furry ears or a few snake scales, would appear on Bai Lingmiao's face.

Hearing her say so many shocking words, Li Huowang, with an expression of extreme pain, hugged her tightly. "Miao Miao... I'm sorry."

Bai Lingmiao leaned against him, closed her eyes, and smelled the strong scent of blood on Li Huowang's body, showing a hint of comfort on her face. "Li Huowang, you can go back to Niu Xin Village now. Everyone is waiting for you."

Li Huowang let go of Bai Lingmiao, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar face with a complicated expression.After struggling for a long time, he said to the other person, "Don't worry, this is all my fault, I will find a way to make you return to your original state."

But he didn't expect that as soon as Li Huowang finished speaking, Bai Lingmiao's expression suddenly became fierce. She raised her slender and soft right hand and reached directly into Li Huowang's chest, gripping his hot heart.

"Did you even listen to what I said? I'm talking about feeling free! Who are you to decide what kind of person I become?" Bai Lingmiao slightly raised her sharp black fingernails and gently inserted a pointed tip into Li Huowang's heart.

The next moment, more than a dozen tentacles drilled out of Li Huowang's body and tightly wrapped around Bai Lingmiao's arm, preventing her from going any further.

"Li Sui, stop this." With Li Huowang's painful command, Li Sui's tentacles slowly retracted.

Bai Lingmiao, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, pulled her hand out of Li Huowang's chest and then wiped the blood off her hand on his body.

After finishing this, Bai Lingmiao quickly leaned forward and snuggled up to Li Huowang like a little bird.

However, her words were full of thorns. "Don't think that I'm stuck with you for the rest of my life. I'm not married yet, and I'm a living person, not a pendant on your body."

Li Huowang looked at Bai Lingmiao with a complex expression. He was no longer as excited as before. Since the incident had already happened, what should he do now?

Just as Li Huowang was struggling, the others arrived. They first looked at the heartless corpse on the ground and sighed before turning their attention to Bai Lingmiao.

Bai Lingmiao was not at all intimidated and stared back with a bold attitude.

"Erxian, as the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. Your wife has a bad temper. If you really want to live together, you'll be fighting every day." Tuoba Danqing spoke in the tone of someone with experience and gave Li Huowang some advice.

Bai Lingmiao was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Huowang.

Obviously, he didn't think it was a good time to talk about this.

"Hey, Danqing, do you think this is the time to talk about this? Let's go back quickly. I'm exhausted." The previous actions made Li Huowang look weak and shaky, as if he could collapse at any moment. The group of people walked forward in a messy and embarrassed manner.

With Bai Lingmiao's support, Li Huowang kept recalling Bai Lingmiao's every look and smile from the past.

"No, I can't let Bai Lingmiao become like this. There must be a chance to turn her back!" Li Huowang said firmly in his heart.How could I be afraid of such a small evil spirit entering my body when I have been seeking for such impossible things in my heart?

Li Huowang, who had made up his mind, quickly turned his head to look at the other people around him. If he had been like a headless fly in the past, then perhaps these people around him might be able to help him with this matter.

However, it was not convenient to ask now since Bai Lingmiao was right beside him.

On the way back, no one spoke, and everyone was thinking about their own matters.

Walking slowly, coupled with the previous interruption, they were not surprised that they did not reach the nearest village when night fell.

There was not much to say next. They gathered firewood to make a fire, and the group of people rested around the bonfire.

Bai Lingmiao and Li Huowang slept in each other's arms as they had in the past. It had been a long time since they had felt this way.

However, it was obvious that both of them were suffering from insomnia. Under the illumination of the bonfire, their eyes met.

Looking at Li Huowang who was staring at her, Bai Lingmiao's mouth curled up slightly. She leaned over to Li Huowang's ear and whispered mischievously, "Why are you staring at me? What, do you still want to have sex even though you're injured like this?"

Li Huowang took a deep breath and held Bai Lingmiao in his arms with a heartache.

Bai Lingmiao lifted Li Huowang's flesh and burrowed her head in, kissing the beating heart. "Don't worry, I'm still the same Bai Lingmiao who shared life and death with you before."

"I haven't forgotten any of the things we've experienced on this journey, almost nothing has changed. The only difference is the way I think about things."

"But... after all, things have changed..." Li Huowang's tone was somewhat self-blaming and helpless.

"Oh? So you dare to say that you, Li Huowang, have not changed at all on this journey? You have changed too, alright?"

"I've changed?" This thought flashed through Li Huowang's mind, and then he shook his head vigorously. "No, I haven't changed. I'm still Li Huowang."

"Is it interesting for you to deceive yourself like this?" Bai Lingmiao gave Li Huowang a blank look.

"You've changed much more than I have. The Li Huowang of the past would never have cut off his own fingers or gouged out his own eyeballs on a whim."

"So, is the past Li Huowang the real Li Huowang, and the current Li Huowang not Li Huowang?"
