"I, your father, give me the medicine!"
The glaring words seemed to hide Chu Bainiu's evil intentions. Gongzi Ling was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Chu Bainiu!" Gongzi Ling clenched his fists, tearing the letter in his hand into pieces. He glared at the snickering Chu Song.
Chu Song held back his laughter and pretended to be wronged. "Gongzi … I already said that my father gave me the letter. You were the one who took it." She knew that her father, Chu Bainiu, had been friends with Young Master Peacock for many years and knew Gongzi Ling's temper well. He knew that Gongzi Ling would definitely ask for the letter, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of Gongzi Ling.
But because the letter was meant for Chu Song, Young Master Ling had no way to argue after being taken advantage of. His expression changed a few times before he exhaled deeply. Exhaling, Gongzi Ling regained his usual demeanor. He rolled his eyes and said, "What letter? I took your letter in time? "
Chu Song pouted slightly and said, "Didn't you just rip me apart …" But she quickly realized that Gongzi Ling was just trying to save face. He had to swallow this loss and pretend nothing had happened to prevent Chu Bainiu from laughing at him in the future, so she stopped herself from speaking.
"Do you understand now? I never asked for a letter from you, nor did I see what was written in it!" Gongzi Ling warned sternly.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Chu Song answered while holding back his laughter. Inside, he could not stop laughing. Father and Gongzi Ling are both famous people. Why are you acting like children?
Then he asked, "What about my father's request for the purple jade ointment?"
The corners of Gongzi Ling's eyes twitched again, but he changed his tone and said, "You were the one who gathered and refined the medicine. How you handle it is your own business. I never asked!"
Gongzi Ling lied to himself. He was clearly trying to deny this memory. Chu Song held back his laughter and said, "Alright, then I'll make the decision and give the medicine to father."
Xie Lingyan and Zuo Feiying had never seen the letter and were confused. But seeing that the matter was settled, they were excited.
Gongzi Ling also stood up to stretch his muscles and said, "The three religions and six paths have all been here. I have made my stand clear, so there is no need for us to waste our time here. Zhao Ya, leave some demons behind to guard the place, then let us return to the villa." Then, he said to Xie Lingyan and Zuo Feiying, "If you two girls want to get the medicine, then come back with me!"
"Many thanks, Young Master!" Zuo Feiying secretly nudged Xie Lingyan with her elbow, looking as if her plan had worked. Xie Lingyan rolled her eyes at her, but when she thought about how she would be able to go to Jinxiu Villa again, she couldn't help but look forward to it …

On the other side, after Di Ling Tian, Hu Li, and Xue Wanlu met up with the humans (demons) who were waiting at the Buddha's knee, they left the Lingyun Mountain Buddha. On the way, they shared the information they obtained.
"Gongzi Ling also wants to interfere in the fight for the Heavenly Book. He really is a person who causes three feet of waves even when there is no wind!" Yan Shiyuan shook his head helplessly when he heard that Gongzi Ling also wanted to fight for the Heavenly Book.
Jialan Bingrong's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she asked bluntly, "Why does he want the Heavenly Book?"
Hu Li sighed, "Well, although he didn't say it clearly, it's not hard to guess. Back then, Gongzi Ling almost turned the world upside down in order to find a way to resurrect the dead, but in the end, he couldn't find it. Now that the Heavenly Book has appeared, I'm afraid he's going to be restless again."
Di Ling Tian said, "Although Gongzi Ling said that he's the only demon involved in the fight for the Heavenly Book, with his ability, he's still a variable that's hard to guard against. I wonder if the Demon World has a way to eliminate this variable?"
Hu Li frowned and thought for a long time, but he still said helplessly, "Gongzi Ling purposely maintained a neutral position. As a demon, as long as he doesn't collude with the people from the three religions, the Demon World doesn't want to fight with him. Moreover, Gongzi Ling is not someone easy to deal with. The Demon World is too far away from Shu Land, and it's beyond our reach. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. "
Seeing the Demon World's attitude, Di Ling Tian said thoughtfully, "If Gongzi Ling doesn't want anything, then he's almost flawless. But now that he's looking for a way to resurrect the dead, maybe that's his weakness!"
Hu Li raised his frosty white eyebrows, "Heaven Dao Master seems to have a way?"
Di Ling Tian's eyes became solemn, and he said solemnly, "I do have some ideas. Speaking of resurrection, it reminds me of the monster that died a few times. He had some grudges with Gongzi Ling, and now, the Samsara has coincidentally found his whereabouts!"
At the side, when the Lion King who had been dejected like a muddle-headed old man heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura skyrocketed. He locked his eyes on Di Ling Tian and said, "You're talking about my second brother?"
"That's right, it's him, one of the Seven Evils that became sworn brothers with the Lion King in the past, and now the God of Venomous Poison in the Five Wonders of the Medical Venomous Poison Casting Divination …" Di Ling Tian turned around to look at the Lion King and said word by word,
"The Hundred Calamity Undying Gu Xuanren!"

Kunlun Mountain, the Truth Temple occupied by the Animal Path.
The long passageway passed through an airtight room, appearing dark and deep.
This place was originally prepared for the blood sacrifice of the hungry ghosts that had just awakened, but more than a month ago, Ying Feiyang caused a ruckus here and released the demons that had fallen into a state of blood hunger due to cultivating the Hungry Ghost Devouring Technique, causing a civil war between the Animal Path and the Hungry Ghost Path.
Now, there were still red and white things that could not be washed clean on the walls, and the faint smell of blood was a reminder of the tragedy at that time.
At this moment, a deformed and ugly dwarf was stumbling along the passageway. If one only looked at his appearance, who would have thought that this dwarf was the king of beasts that ruled the Animal Path, the Path Master of the Animal Path, Wanshou Chun.
It had been more than a month since the incident in the Animal Path, and Wanshou Chun's injuries had mostly recovered. His arm that had been cut off at the elbow had also been reattached. However, every time he passed by this place, he could not help but think of the culprits that caused all this, the man and woman. He thought of their sword and saber that seemed to be able to cut through the rules of time and space. This caused Wanshou Chun to feel a dull pain from the wound at the joint of his elbow.
However, Wanshou Chun also knew that although Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyue's sword and saber had defeated him that day, the one who had truly almost taken his life was someone else —
The person he wanted to see today.
At the end of the passageway was a prison cell. Wanshou Chun opened the stone cell door, and the weak light from the fire illuminated a thin and small figure huddled in the corner of the wall.
The person's clothes were ragged, and he was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. His childish face was now ashen and bloodless, as if he had not seen the light of day for a long time. He looked tired and dispirited.
The light that he had not seen for a long time shone in, causing him to raise his hand to block the light, and his figure huddled in the corner a little more. When his eyes adjusted to the light, his pupils gradually focused, and reflected the figure of Wanshou Chun in front of him.
His originally lifeless eyes instantly flashed with panic, fear, despair, and finally, the will to live.
"Master … Master Wanshou, I have sinned, it is my fault. I beg you, on account of my youth and ignorance, for the sake of my master, spare my life!" The youth kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic, was Chu Bainiu's medicine attendant, Ban Xia.
That day, Ban Xia had repaid Wanshou Chun's kindness with enmity, and robbed him of his beast qi. Soon, Ban Xia was no match for Ying Feiyang, and was pierced through the chest by a sword.
After that, the underground palace collapsed, burying both of them under the rubble.
Chu Bainiu had secretly massaged Wanshou Chun's blood circulation, stabilizing his injuries, so when he was dug out by the Animal Path's Daoists, he still had a trace of life left in him.
But in the end, Ban Xia, who was thought to be dead, was still alive. However, when the Animal Path's Daoists dug him out, his entire body was wrapped tightly in silk threads, like a large cocoon.
The Animal Path's Daoists placed the cocooned Ban Xia in a prison cell. It was not until a few days ago that he broke out of the cocoon, and his injuries were almost completely healed.
Wanshou Chun looked at Ban Xia with a complicated expression, then said, "Come out, I have something to say to you!"
Ban Xia was slightly startled, as if he had grasped onto a life-saving straw. He hurriedly kowtowed again with a grateful expression, saying, "Master, please speak, I will tell you everything I know!"
"I'm not talking to you!" Wanshou Chun grabbed Ban Xia's hair and straightened his back. The short Wanshou Chun's gaze was level with the kneeling Ban Xia's. His big and small eyes stared into Ban Xia's eyes, as if he wanted to peer into Ban Xia's soul.
"I'm calling you, come out, Immortal Gu Divine Valley's Xuan Ke!"
Ban Xia's eyes were filled with confusion, but he suddenly clutched his heart and let out a heart-wrenching howl.
There seemed to be a worm wriggling under his flesh, crawling from his heart to the back of his neck at an extremely fast speed. His eyes glazed over due to the pain, but in the next instant, a dark golden evil light suddenly shot out of them.
Ban Xia then opened his mouth and let out a hoarse laugh that did not belong to a youth. "Kekekeke, damned shorty, long time no see, why did you call me out?"

Ling Yun Buddha was not far from Jinxiu Villa, but when Xie Lingyan followed Gongzi Ling to the villa, the sun had already completely set.
At this moment, Gongzi Ling stood alone in the courtyard, facing the wordless grave. Under the silvery white moonlight, he restrained his arrogance, his eyes filled with unprecedented gentleness, as if he was communicating silently with the person in the grave.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You two, come out!"
At the entrance of the courtyard, Zuo Feiying's head popped out first, then she dragged Xie Lingyan out and pulled her to stand in front of Gongzi Ling.
Gongzi Ling frowned and said, "Didn't you go to Chu Song to get medicine? Why did you come here? "
Xie Lingyan furtively pushed Zuo Feiying half a step forward in annoyance. Zuo Feiying saw that she could not avoid it and answered, "Miss Chu Song has already given me the medicine. Zuo Feiying thanks Gongzi Ling here!"
Zuo Feiying bowed gracefully, her expression sincere. Gongzi Ling said, "Giving you the medicine was Chu Song's idea, there is no need to thank me. Also, I have never seen Chu Bainiu's letter. If that cow asks, don't forget!"
Zuo Feiying had never seen the letter and was still confused, but seeing Gongzi Ling speak so solemnly, she nodded in agreement. Then she bowed again and said, "It is not good to delay Master's matter. Since I have obtained the purple jade ointment, I will take my leave now!"
With that, Zuo Feiying opened the red umbrella and hurriedly left on the wind, looking as if she could not wait any longer. She left Xie Lingyan alone.
"Hey, why are you leaving!" Xie Lingyan had been dragged by Zuo Feiying to find Gongzi Ling to thank, but Zuo Feiying had left her behind and secretly cast her a look that said, "This is as far as I can help you".
Before Xie Lingyan could react, Zuo Feiying had already gone far away, leaving her alone with Gongzi Ling.
Xie Lingyan cursed Zuo Feiying inwardly, but then she saw that under the moonlight, her and Gongzi Ling's shadows were extremely close. For a moment, her mind was in a mess, and she was embarrassed and timid. She turned around and said to Gongzi Ling, "Gongzi … she has left, so I should also take my leave."
Xie Lingyan was flustered and wanted to leave as if she was fleeing, but she heard Gongzi Ling say, "You are a sword cultivator and can't fly on the wind like her. Where are you going so late at night? You can stay here first and leave tomorrow. Besides, since you are here, shouldn't you pay your respects? "
After hearing his words, Xie Lingyan came to her senses and said to the lonely grave with the wordless tablet, "Yes, this is the grave of Gongzi's beloved wife, right? I intruded recklessly and disturbed you, so I should apologize!"
As Xie Lingyan spoke, she bowed to the grave three times, but in her heart, she was envious of the person in the grave.
But when she got up, she saw Gongzi Ling's strange expression and said, "What? You don't know the identity of the person in the grave? "
Xie Lingyan widened her eyes and said blankly, "Isn't she Gongzi's wife?"
"Heh, you guys are quite tight-lipped!" Gongzi Ling sneered and then said, "Forget it, since no one told you, then you don't need to know. Go!"
"Oh …" Xie Lingyan nodded as if she had lost something. She dragged her feet and was about to leave, but after a few steps, she stopped.
There was a desire in her heart, like the magma buried underground erupting, urgent and passionate. It made her want to understand Gongzi Ling, to know his feelings, his regrets, and to experience his past so that in her dreams, he would no longer be an illusory, lofty phantom, but a living creature of flesh and blood that she loved and hated.
"Can you tell me about it?" Under the silver glow, Xie Lingyan turned around like a fairy from the moon palace.
The girl in front of him overlapped with the figure in his memory, and Gongzi Ling was in a trance for a moment. The fearless peacock head avoided the girl's gaze and said, "Forget it, it's not something that can be finished in a short time. It's already late, and you still have to leave tomorrow …"
Hearing this, the light in Xie Lingyan's watery eyes dimmed. She responded and was about to leave again.
However, Gongzi Ling suddenly said, "Three months later, on the eighth day of the seventh month, it will be the anniversary of her death. If you come to pay your respects to her, she will definitely be happy. At that time, I will tell you about it."
Xie Lingyan stopped in her tracks. Like the moon and clouds parting, the darkness on her face was swept away. She turned around and smiled, "Then it's settled. On the eighth day of the seventh month, I will definitely come again!"

In the inner courtyard of Jinxiu Villa.
As the most powerful female demon in the villa, her bedroom was decorated simply. The room was clean and tidy, but there were no unnecessary decorations. Only two pots of water orchids could be considered as decorations.
However, the originally unremarkable room was now displaying a scene that one could not bear to look away from.
A bathtub stood in the middle of the bedroom. Steam rose from it and a fragrant scent filled the air. Zhao Ya's jade-like arms were stretched out on the edge of the bathtub. Her fair peaks were faintly discernible in the water. She was currently bathing.
Her originally dignified and stern face, which made it hard for others to approach, was now moistened by the steam. Her cheeks were flushed, and her cherry lips were plump. With her wet, glossy hair draped over her shoulders, she looked even more charming and moving than usual.
However, there was not a trace of laziness in her eyes as she stared at the ripples in the bathtub. It looked like she was looking at herself, but the reflection on the surface of the water was actually a grave, a demon, and a person.
The conversation between Gongzi Ling and Xie Lingyan in the backyard was reflected on the ripples.
Looking at the conversation between a person and a demon under the moonlight, Zhao Ya's breathing gradually quickened. The calm surface of the water also sensed her emotions, and layers of ripples appeared.
Helplessness, jealousy, shame, pity, anger … many emotions intertwined in Zhao Ya's eyes. Finally, a trace of determination flashed across her eyes.
"Smack!" Zhao Ya smashed the reflection on the surface of the water. Her long eyelashes were still dripping with water. Her eyes were like wildfire in the quiet night, deep and crazy!
"Again and again, I will not allow you to use this face to hurt Gongzi Ling again!"
As she smacked the water, a lock of her beautiful hair fell from her back to her chest, revealing the slender and fair nape of her neck.
