A look of surprise appeared on Tom's face when he heard what Zhang Heng said, especially when he saw Zhang Heng searched their bodies. After confirming that they only had one long-range weapon with them, he walked to the side of the road and picked up the glass bottle. Tom could not help but ask, "How are you going to deal with us?"
"I'm not going to deal with you. Otherwise, I would've killed you just now," Zhang Heng said. "I told you that I'm just an irrelevant passerby."
Tom wanted to say something but hesitated.
"The people here just helped me. So, I can't let you take her away." Zhang Heng shook the bottle in his hand. The swallowtail butterfly inside looked very scared, lying motionless at the bottom of the bottle. When it returned to Zhang Heng's hand, it spread its wings and flew again, looking rather excited.
Zhang Heng opened the bottle cap and let the butterfly fly out. However, for some reason, it did not immediately return to its human form. Instead, it remained in butterfly form on Zhang Heng's shoulder.
Zhang Heng took a step forward, but he stopped after a few steps. Except for the man he knocked out earlier, the other three became nervous when they saw Zhang Heng.
"Why? Did you change your mind again?" asked Tom nervously.
"No. I just want to ask you to pass a message to your leader. No matter what you want to do, there's no need to drag Sai Ji into this mess."
Zhang Heng did not look back after he finished speaking, continuing to walk to the gate.
After he walked about twenty meters away, he heard Tom's voice behind him again. "This is war. In order to win the final victory, we will do everything necessary."
Zhang Heng did not comment, but he had already walked far away, leaving Tom and the others looking at each other.
Half an hour later, in the hotel's executive suite.
Sai Ji had put on her clothes again, and she expressed her gratitude to Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus. However, her face was red, and she wanted to say something. Zhang Heng knew what she wanted to say, so he agreed in advance.
"We have nothing to do for the time being. We can accompany you until your husband comes back."
"Really? Thank you so much." Saiji finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhang Heng's words. She was a timid person to begin with, and she was scared by the oil painting and what happened in the park. She was afraid that someone would kidnap her after Zhang Heng and Ms. Succubus left.
The three played a few rounds of Fight the Landlord in the house. After that, Saiji and the succubus talked about the new clothes and foundation. Zhang Heng, who had nothing to do, went to the bedroom next door.
For the past two days, he had been running around for the extra 24 hours every day, busy solving all kinds of problems. Now that he had some time to relax, he took the opportunity to catch up on his sleep.
…
When Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, the sky outside was completely dark.
And he found that there was another person beside his bed.
Sai Ji was wearing a white dress, sitting on the edge of the bed on his left, holding his palm. The moonlight shone through the window, enveloping her whole body. She looked like a beautiful oil painting. Zhang Heng couldn't help but take another look at her. It was also at this time that he noticed a pair of transparent wings on Sai Ji's back. The moonlight rippled on them.
At this moment, Sai Ji's brows were tightly knitted. It seemed that she had encountered a very difficult problem, and she looked very tired. She realized that Zhang Heng had woken up, and she was taken aback. Subconsciously, she withdrew her hand.
But soon, her expression became serious again. "You have an amulet on you. It was made by a very powerful person to protect your soul. It was placed in your body when you were very young."
"Yes. Is there a problem?" Zhang Heng realized that Sai Ji was trying to help him solve the problem of his soul.
"It has lost its effect," Sai Ji said.
"I know."
"No, I mean it has completely lost its effect. Just now, the last trace of its power disappeared," Sai Ji said. "This means your soul is now unprotected."
"And then?" Zhang Heng's expression didn't change much after hearing the news.
"Then, I can feel that an evil and powerful existence has targeted you." Sai Ji's eyes showed a touch of fear when she said that. "No, I should say that a part of its soul has always been sleeping in your body, in your blood. Because of the amulet, it couldn't find any chance to attack you. Now that it has awakened, I almost lost my mind when I looked into its eyes. No one can resist that kind of madness."
"Can you help me repair the amulet?" Zhang Heng asked calmly.
"Unfortunately, I can't." Sai Ji shook her head, and she then explained, "It's not difficult to make a soul amulet. The problem is that a person can only have one soul amulet in his life. If it is destroyed, there is no way to replace it."
"It seems that I have to think of another way before I can control my body." It was a matter of life and death, but Zhang Heng's tone was unusually calm. "How much time do I have?"
"About a week, but with your spirit and willpower, you might be able to hold on for two weeks." Sai Ji sighed. "I helped you resist a soul attack just now, and I almost used up all my divine power. The attack will only be more violent, and I won't be able to help you anymore."
Sai Ji's words also explained why she looked so tired now.
"It's okay. I'm grateful that you gave me one last good night's sleep," Zhang Heng said as he put on his clothes.
However, Sai Ji did not go out immediately. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, "You asked me about blood transfusion."
Zhang Heng stopped what he was doing.
"If it's possible, it might be your only hope," Sai Ji continued. "Unfortunately, my power is too weak. I can't withstand the madness and destruction in your blood. Of course, Trista can't either."
"It's okay. I still have time. I can find someone else."
"It's too late. It's hard to find a powerful god who is willing to exchange blood with you in such a short time." Sai Ji seemed to have finally made up her mind. "My husband, Cupid, should be able to accept your blood. When he comes back, I will help you beg him. Although this will severely weaken his strength, with his love for me, there is a high chance that he will agree."
"The war between the new and old gods has begun. Won't this put you in danger?"
"After I help you exchange blood, we can hide temporarily like the succubi," Sai Ji said. "As long as we don't directly participate in the war, we should not be in too much danger with our strength."
