C16 (2/2)

To a demonic beast, Spirit Cleansing Bone, dispersing spiritual energy and destroying their spiritual roots was a disaster of the deepest kind. This meant that from now on, it would forever lose the opportunity to cultivate. It would completely become an ordinary animal, going through the short life span, and would unceasingly walk the path of an animal in reincarnation.

If it had never been, there was nothing to lose. However, when one possessed too much of it, he would be completely deprived of it in a single night. That sort of pain was akin to cutting off one's own heart.

Hu Mei forced herself to stand up, and looked straight into Fang Miaomiao's eyes. She grinded her teeth, and revealed a sinister smile: ”You dare?”

God's pardon appeared on Fang Miaomiao's left palm, and said calmly: ”Of course.”

The moment he saw the God's pardon, Hu Mei's pupils abruptly shrank and her breathing became hurried. A streak of blood meandered down from the corner of her mouth.

”You little girl, you really are a Heavenly Master.” ”I won't let you go, I won't let you go.”

Fang Miaomiao's expression remained indifferent: ”Although I'm not the strongest, but I follow the right path, and have never been afraid of anything.”

With that, she bit her finger and drew a blood symbol in the air, then recited a spell: ”Spreading through the Nine Planets, Calming the Universe, God's pardon, Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip, Exterminate the Spirit.”

The Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing Whip then turned into a stream of light and entered Hu Mei's forehead. There was no pain and struggle like he had imagined, but in the blink of an eye, Hu Mei had transformed into a fiery red fox, with a transparent red beast core suspended above her head.

Fang Miaomiao took the beast core in her hand and handed it over to Lu Zhinan, saying, ”Give the rootless water to Wang Bo to consume, and the beast core will naturally restore his body. Three days from now, he will wake up. ”

Rootless water meant rain and dew in the sky that had not yet taken root. This was because it had not been contaminated by earth energy, making it purer and more effective in healing.

Lu Zhinan carefully received the beast core, stared at Fang Miaomiao and said: ”Thank you, Heavenly Master Fang. If not for your help, I am afraid Wang Bo would already be dead. ”

Fang Miaomiao nodded, and accepted his thanks.

Lu Zhinan pointed at the red fox whose eyes were filled with malice and resentment, then asked: ”How will she be punished?”

Fang Miaomiao said: ”Let her go. She is now just an ordinary fox, and has received the punishment that she deserves. ”

Lu Zhinan was quiet for a moment, then nodded: ”This is good, the matter is settled.”

The night closed in.

The bustling Jinling restrained the liveliness and flourishing of the day, more like a woman washing herself clean. She no longer revealed her edge, but was instead gentle and amiable.

Fang Miaomiao and Lu Zhinan slowly walked along the small stone path in the market.

There was a red lantern hanging every three to five steps on one side of the path. The orange glow floated faintly in the air.

It was as if a layer of unspeakable bitterness had been added to the deep serenity.

Lu Zhinan's eyes were deep, and his heart was stifling a little depression, which made him feel bad not saying it out loud.
