Actually, even without Jinchan's answer, Ye Fan understood most of what had happened. Only half of the white light had entered Fujiwara No Chiko's body, the other half had been sucked back into the Evil Soul Gathering Cauldron.
In other words, his beloved wife's soul was not complete.
Even so, he still had to ask Jinchan. He did not understand why his beloved wife had woken up earlier, but why was there no reaction now?
Jinchan slowly walked to Fujiwara No Chiko's side. She reached out and spread out Fujiwara No Chiko's arm to feel her pulse.
After a long time, Jinchan released her hand and frowned.
"How is it, Granny?" Ye Fan asked Jinchan anxiously.
"Her soul is incomplete now," Jinchan said to Ye Fan with a guilty expression. "Of the three souls and seven spirits, only five have been taken back. The remaining three souls and two spirits are still in the Evil Cauldron."
Ye Fan's eyes stared blankly and he stood there without a word.
"This is all Granny's fault. Granny's skills are not good enough," Jinchan said to Ye Fan.
"Granny, this isn't your fault." Ye Fan slowly shook his head. "If it wasn't for you, Granny, Qianzi wouldn't even be able to return a single soul."
Jinchan was silent. She had thought that with the Soul Returning Grass and her own cultivation, she would be able to retrieve Fujiwara No Chiko's soul. She did not expect the Evil Cauldron to be so powerful that she could only take back five of the spirits.
While Ye Fan was on his way to the Northernmost North, Golden Silkworm had carefully studied the Evil Soul Gathering Cauldron. In fact, with her current cultivation base, it was not difficult to open the Evil Cauldron by force. However, the Evil Cauldron was not only powerful, it also had intelligence and a violent temper. If she really did that, she was afraid that the Evil Cauldron would not hand over Fujiwara Chiko's soul even if it was smashed into pieces. At that time, not only would she not be able to save her, her soul would also be destroyed!
"Granny, I want to take the Evil Cauldron to Matsumoto Takeyoshi," Ye Fan said to Jinchan. "I entrust Chiko to your care."
As Ye Fan spoke, his knees buckled and he knelt in front of Jinchan.
"What … what are you doing?" Jinchan did not understand why Ye Fan would suddenly kneel in front of her.
"Get up!" Jinchan said as she started to help Ye Fan up.
"Granny," Ye Fan broke free from Jinchan's hands and kowtowed heavily to the ground. "Ever since Chiko and I met, we have repeatedly troubled you to help us. Ye Fan is eternally grateful. Thank you."
"Child, why are you saying this? Get up! "Jinchan went to help Ye Fan up again.
"Granny, listen to me," Ye Fan straightened up from his kneeling position, his eyes red, "This time, I'm going to look for Matsumoto Takeyoshi. It's very likely that I won't be able to return. If I don't make it back in three days, it means that something has happened to me. But don't worry, even if I have to sacrifice my cultivation, I will save Chiko's soul. When the time comes, please help me summon Chiko's soul and save her life. In the underworld, Fan Er will be able to rest easy. "Ye Fan said as he kowtowed again.
Ye Fan's words made Jinchan's nose sour and her eyes red.
Ye Fan was telling her what to do after his death!
"Child, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Jinchan reached out to pull Ye Fan back.
"Granny, let me finish." Ye Fan stubbornly refused to get up. "If something happens to me, you must find a way to find the Thousand Demons Hall's Hall Master, Nie Qing. He was my best friend in my past life. The Hundred Herbs Pill in his hand can restore Xiao Zhao's human body. For the sake of our friendship in our past life, he definitely won't sit idly by. Xiao Zhao is my adopted sister. I entrust her future to you, Granny. "Ye Fan kowtowed to Jinchan for the third time as he spoke.
"Don't say anymore …" Jinchan's voice began to choke with sobs.
"Wuu …" After hearing Ye Fan's words, Baihu jumped from the wooden bed in front of Ye Fan. As it sobbed, it frantically pulled at Ye Fan's blood-stained robes with its mouth, refusing to let go.
"Xiao Zhao, listen to me." Ye Fan's eyes reddened as he reached out to stroke Baihu.
"Wuu …" When the teary-eyed Baihu saw Ye Fan reach out to stroke it, it instantly let go of Ye Fan's robes. Then, it opened its mouth and viciously bit down on Ye Fan's hand!
"Wuu … wuu …" Baihu whimpered as it frantically swung Ye Fan's hand back and forth.
It couldn't let Ye Fan risk his life and die for nothing!
This scene made Ye Fan unable to hold back his tears. Baihu looked like it was viciously biting him, but in fact, it didn't use any strength at all. It was only gently holding Ye Fan's finger in its mouth!
Even at this time, it was still afraid of hurting him! As Ye Fan thought in his heart, two clear lines of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.
"I won't stop you from going," Jinchan choked with sobs and said, "But you have to bring Xiao Zhao with you."
The scene in front of her reminded her master Tian Can Zi's words. This man and fox had a deep relationship and were each other's saviors.
She wanted Ye Fan to bring Xiao Zhao with him because firstly, Ye Fan would have something to worry about so that he wouldn't die so easily. Secondly, she hoped that Ye Fan could help Xiao Zhao get through this calamity and recover her human body.
Looking at Jinchan, whose eyes were red and her voice choked with sobs, and then looking at Xiao Zhao, who had already turned into a fox and couldn't bear to part with her life, Ye Fan, whose face was full of tears, slowly nodded at Jinchan.
Seeing Ye Fan nod his head, the white fox let out a sigh of relief.
"Granny, take care of yourself. I'll leave everything to you," Ye Fan said as he stood up.
"I'll take care of Chiko. Don't worry," Jinchan said, "As for Xiao Zhao, I'll leave it to you."
Jinchan's words had a deeper meaning.
Ye Fan nodded and then said to Baihu, "Xiao Zhao, let's go."
Baihu jumped onto Ye Fan's shoulder.
Pa! Ye Fan lifted the Soul Congregation Evil Cauldron with one hand.
"Granny, we're leaving," Ye Fan said goodbye to Jinchan.
"Be careful and come back soon," Jinchan choked with sobs.
