I knew I couldn't sleep. I was about to bite the tip of my tongue to clear it, and my legs, which were already numb with pain, began to hurt like ants eating at their bones.

At the same time, my legs swelled rapidly, and the strips of cloth I had tied to them sank into my skin.

I grinded my teeth and grabbed the triangular-edge knife to remove the strips of cloth on my legs.

I don't know how far my legs will swell.

I knew that the existence of the strip of cloth would greatly hinder the flow of blood from my swollen legs.

I no longer cared if the triangular-edge knife would cut my skin, as I removed the strips of cloth covering my legs, adding new knife wounds to my legs.

As I finished removing the strips from my legs, my legs began to bleed, and they stopped swelling.

I immediately linked my heart to Gui Yan and told him what happened to my legs. Gui Yan coldly told me that if I stuck a hole in my finger, my legs would swell to the point of bursting apart.

If I don't block the hole in my finger, I'll die of blood.

After hearing Gui Yan's explanation, the despair in my heart calmed down immediately. I was already on the verge of death, afraid that it would be useless.

After Gui Yan finished speaking, he flashed out from the Linlang Bowl s, glanced at the puddle of blood on the ground and coldly asked me if I should recognize him as my master.

I shook my head and leaned my back against the wall as I looked at Gui Yan. I asked him in a trembling voice, 'When I die, where will he go?'

I'm in pain. I want to shift my attention away from the pain before I die.

Both sides were desperate for survival. Between the swelling of my legs and the death of my dried blood, I chose to dry out and die.

Gui Yan shifted his gaze away from me and stared at the ground without saying a word.

Thinking about Ah Yin in the Linlang Bowl, I removed the formation that I had previously set up around myself, and told Gui Yan, after I die, the Linlang Bowl will be in a ownerless state.

There was a formation that prevented ghosts from entering and exiting the cave. If he was not afraid of the formation, he could bring Linlang Bowl to a concealed location.

Although Linlang Bowl s could not recognize ghosts as their master, Linlang Bowl s were the best place for cultivation.

Hiding in the Linlang Bowl not only made it more convenient for him to cultivate, he could also hide his body to avoid being tracked by the ferryman.

After I finished speaking a long time, I was so tired that I couldn't catch my breath.

My legs were bleeding more and more slowly, and I knew I was on the verge of drying up.

I look forward to Gui Yan taking the Linlang Bowl away, I don't want Ah Yin to be trapped in the cave forever.

"Hmph, the most venomous one is the heart of a woman. Stop lying to me." Gui Yan continued to stare at the ground as he spoke.

"If I lie to you, will you live?" Gui Yan's words made me at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

I know that Gui Yan would say that the most malicious of women would be the Ghost Mother, without a doubt.

Gui Yan did not answer my question. He only glanced at me before turning his head to the side.

"No one is born with a venomous heart. There are external reasons why a venomous heart would turn into a venomous heart." Recalling my mother's Ghost Mother legend, and Yu Kexin, I sighed in my heart.

"Stop pretending to be a good person, you said that you didn't lie to me, then you will die right now in front of me." Gui Yan stared at me, his eyes filled with a brutal light.

"Okay, after I die, remember to take the Linlang Bowl away." Hearing Gui Yan's words, I didn't have any additional emotions in my heart. I picked up the triangular-edge knife on the ground and moved towards my neck.

I no longer have a way out. Seeing that I was about to die, I was willing to use my early death to exchange for Ah Yin's smooth exit from the cave.

As the ice-cold triangular-edge knife made contact with my neck, I closed my eyes and tears fell from my cheeks.

I worked so hard to live, but finally died in the prime of my life.

"No!" Ah Yin's sudden appearance caused the triangular-edge knife to fall from my hand and only cut the skin on my neck.

"Scram!" Immediately! " I crawled towards the triangular-edge knife and coldly ordered Ah Yin.

I don't want Ah Yin to appear and make my death worth nothing, and even more so, I don't want Gui Yan to harm Ah Yin again.

Just a little bit more and I would have been able to use my early death in exchange for Ah Yin's smooth exit from the cave.

"I want to stay with you, why are you talking so loudly?" Ah Yin used his ghost power to lift my body and started to wail.

Ah Yin's reaction made me feel helpless. I linked my heart with Ah Yin and urgently told her that I was already begging for death, told her that Gui Yan and I had reached an agreement, and told me to return back to the Linlang Bowl.

"I'm not going back. I'm going to stay with you." Ah Yin was very stubborn.

"I am your master, you are defying my wishes!" After saying this, my consciousness started to dissipate.

"No wonder you want me to bring the Linlang Bowl away. After all, you're still pretending to be a good person." Following Gui Yan's mocking laughter, I completely lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness once again, and opened my eyes, I saw that I was lying at the place where I had completely lost consciousness before.

Seeing that I had opened my eyes, Ah Yin was pleasantly surprised, saying repeatedly that I had finally awoken.

Am I not dead yet? Looking at Ah Yin, I couldn't tell what was going on.

Without waiting for me to react, Ah Yin told me that it was Gui Yan who saved me from my injuries and that Gui Yan had already returned to the Linlang Bowl.

Although Gui Yan always had a smelly face, he had a good heart.

Before Gui Yan returned to the Linlang Bowl, he told her to guard me and wait for me to wake up before leaving my side.

I looked at Ah Yin in a daze, unable to digest the information she had provided me.

"Has he gone stupid?" Ah Yin and I looked at each other for a while, the excitement in our eyes replaced by worry.

"Stop messing around." In the end, after I finished digesting the information Ah Yin provided me, my heart was overjoyed.

After slapping Ah Yin's hand to the side, I immediately sprung up from the ground to sit up and inspect my body.

There was no sign of swelling in my legs, and the holes in my fingers were gone.

Not only that, I had recovered my strength, and I didn't show any signs of losing too much blood.

I crawled up from the ground and gave Ah Yin a big hug, telling him that it was good to be alive.

Ah Yin scolded me for not being able to think of a way to make this ghost of hers go through my heart. I smiled and begged Ah Yin for forgiveness.

After Ah Yin returned to the Linlang Bowl, my mind connected with Gui Yan and we thanked each other. Gui Yan let out a cold snort and stopped moving.

I glanced at the blood on the ground and narrowed my eyes.

The large puddle of dried blood on the ground reminded me what I had been through.

When I first saw the ferryman being bitten by a myriad of ghosts, I had sworn that I would not allow myself to die so easily, and even more so, I would not allow myself to be unable to protect what I wanted to protect!

In a short period of time, I've broken my promise several times.

I continued forward. I used what I had learned before, when I met ghosts and killed ghosts, and when I met the black sorcery, I broke through the black sorcery.

As there were no more obstacles in the cave, I continued to move forward for a while. I kept going up.

When I reached the exit of the cave, I saw the ajar stone door.

Light shone through the ajar stone door, and I could hear the wind outside.

The unusual situation at the entrance to the cave made me stop in my tracks.

I stood there feeling uncertain. I only felt that I would be thrown into the innermost part of the cave. I would encounter obstacles along the way, perhaps some people had purposely set up this so-called test.

The stone door was open. As long as I could get out, I had passed the test.

If it's a test, then Aunt Lv is a disciple of Pure Lady Sect and the driver should be a disciple of Pure Lady Sect. No matter how brave they are, they wouldn't dare to test me.

The Aunt Lv and the driver must have received permission from the Aunt Tao to throw me into the innermost part of the cave.

Thinking of this, a sense of humiliation and anger rose up in my heart.

I stayed where I was for a long time. After calming my emotions, I took off my scarf, wrapped it around my waist, and stepped forward.

The scarf was wide, and I wrapped it around my waist. It covered my feet.

Since this might be a test, I couldn't let anyone see that I had been seriously injured.

I smoothly exited the stone door. Outside the stone door, I saw the Aunt Lv and the Aunt Tao, as well as the car I was riding on as well as the driver.

Aunt Tao's face was filled with nervousness, while her expression remained indifferent.

I saw with my own eyes the Aunt Tao and the Aunt Lv, and the speculation in my heart turned into reality.

After I appeared, Aunt Tao relaxed her expression and quickly walked over to me. She grabbed my hand and walked over with her brows slightly raised.

The Aunt Tao asked me with concern if I was injured. I smiled and shook my head, saying that I was fine.

Aunt Tao looked at Aunt Lv with a sigh of relief. Aunt Lv nodded and said that she was willing to admit defeat.
