【Seeing this, Ye Yu’s heart suddenly jolted.】
【Red Resentment Threads?】
【This was Ying Naiyan’s famed ghost technique — how could it appear here?】
【In the next moment,】
【A figure appeared before him — it was his wife, Ying Naiyan.】
【Before Ye Yu could ask what was going on,】
【Ying Naiyan grabbed him and pulled him away from the scene.】
【On the way out, Ye Yu asked in a low voice, “How did you come here?”】
【Ying Naiyan pressed forward with effort, not looking back as she said, “Without you, my heart is uneasy, I cannot close my cultivation.”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression stiffened.】
【Originally, Ying Naiyan had already reached the early completion of the Heaven Ghost Realm, so Ye Yu advised her to enter seclusion to attempt the mid Heaven Ghost Realm breakthrough.】
【He planned to quietly leave Kuhan City during this gap and deal with the trouble Xiao Jibo posed.】
【He clearly saw Ying Naiyan enter her seclusion place, but unexpectedly she was discovered — quite embarrassing.】
【But things had come this far; there was no time to explain.】
【Feeling the terrifying aura rapidly approaching from behind,】
【Ye Yu suddenly stopped and transmitted through mental sound, “You leave first. After I deal with him, I will come find you.”】
【Ying Naiyan did not reply but tightly grasped his right hand, showing her wish to stay.】
【Ye Yu slightly frowned and said sternly, “If you stay, I will be distracted.”】
【Ying Naiyan smiled softly, gently stroking Ye Yu’s face with one hand.】
【“Don’t try to persuade me to leave. You know me — wherever I am, I must be with you. Even if we die together, I am willing.”】
【Ying Naiyan’s voice was light but «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» full of determination.】
【Xiao Jibo’s aura was so thick with ghost energy that it was incomprehensible.】
【So she instinctively thought Ye Yu wanted her to leave so she wouldn’t be tainted by this karmic retribution and could live well.】
【But if Ye Yu really died, how could she live alone?】
【For so many years, Ying Naiyan had been used to being by Ye Yu’s side, even if doing or saying nothing, just sensing his presence was enough.】
【This habit was ingrained in her bones — impossible to give up!】
【A true “die together” — before, Ye Yu always thought this only existed in novels.】
【Never thought he would see it with his own eyes — truly touching.】
【“Don’t worry, I will fulfill that wish for you both!”】
【Xiao Jibo chased after them, and when saying this, his tone paused as he slightly raised a finger toward Ye Yu and continued,】
【“Of course, there is another choice.”】
【“Tell me, exactly how did you obtain the Divine Control Mind Technique? Tell me, and I can let you die more cleanly! How about it?”】
【Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward, shouting coldly, “No way!”】
【In the next moment, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Diagram appeared before him.】
【He grabbed it firmly — as long as he infused ghost power, it could instantly activate.】
【“I’m really puzzled! I’m so merciful, why would you reject so decisively? Could it be...”】
【Before Xiao Jibo finished,】
【A black lightning bolt suddenly fell, striking him and instantly smashing him to the ground.】
【This sudden change caused Ye Yu and Ying Naiyan to both freeze slightly and glance at each other, each thinking the other had attacked.】
【But in their eyes was confusion.】
【“What? You didn’t move? Then who else could it be?”】
【Before they could think further,】
【The mountain below roared and collapsed, and a black beam of light descended from the sky.】
【Soon, a woman wearing purple palace robes slowly walked out.】
【Her exquisitely beautiful face was still sleepy, giving the impression she hadn’t fully woken.】
【But looking carefully, she inexplicably exuded a lazy and seductive charm.】
【At that moment, the image of a “Sleeping Beauty” was perfectly embodied in Ye Yu’s mind.】
【Damn! What the hell!】
【I’m really puzzled — who is she? Who?】
【Xiao Jibo’s angry roar came from below.】
【The place where he was had already become a huge pit.】
【Slowly struggling to get up, his face no longer cold but filled with endless fury.】
【“So disrespectful!”】
【“Even resorting to sneak attacks, leaving no chance to defend!”】
【“Damn it, too hateful!”】
【“No matter who you are, you’ll die here!”】
【Xiao Jibo slightly raised his head, trying to stand upright,】
【but small black lightning bolts still jumped around his body!】
【For a moment, even the ghost energy inside him could not gather smoothly.】
【This bizarre situation deeply shocked Xiao Jibo’s mind!】
【What exactly was happening?】
【On the other side, the woman in palace robes slightly frowned, a look of disdain on her face, black lightning flashing on her wrist.】
(This small detail — let’s see who still remembers it!)
【She murmured, “Too noisy!”】
【Then casually pointed, and countless black lightning bolts appeared from nowhere, roaring downward.】
【All fell upon Xiao Jibo.】
【Seeing this, Ye Yu instinctively recalled the scene during his tribulation.】
【It really was like a heavenly tribulation, each strike fiercer than the last!】
【But it shouldn’t be!】
【Lightning is the purest Yang, the hardest substance, the nemesis of all ghost creatures — how could ghosts wield it?】
【This made no sense at all!】
【Not only did Ye Yu think so, Ying Naiyan also found it incredible.】
【How could ghost creatures control lightning?】
【After several breaths, countless black lightning bolts had all fallen,】
【Forcing the area below into a thunderpool.】
【Xiao Jibo’s aura was completely undetectable.】
【Ye Yu’s expression grew serious as he approached the palace-robed woman and asked sternly, “May I ask, who are you, fellow Daoist? Why do you help me?”】
【She did not answer.】
【Instead, she closed her eyes and fainted, collapsing onto him.】
【This stunned Ye Yu completely.】
【Instinctively, he opened his hands and said incredulously, “A setup? Is this a setup?”】
【“I didn’t do anything!”】
【“I don’t accept this framing!”】
【Ying Naiyan hurried over and pulled the palace-robed woman to her side.】
【“Hmph, no one can just take advantage of my husband’s favor!”】
【Ye Yu said seriously, “Wife, she’s setting me up, I really didn’t touch her!”】
【Ying Naiyan nodded seriously, then used ghost energy to check her condition.】
【She found that the woman wasn’t unconscious but had entered deep sleep again.】
【When she reported this,】
【Ye Yu was stunned.】
【Could it be like this?】
【Wait, Xiao Jibo’s aura hadn’t completely vanished!】
【Ye Yu’s figure flickered and swiftly descended.】
