"Sister Xiaoqing, please save me quickly. I don't want to go to the Yama Palace with the Black and White Impermanence..." Xu Xian knew that Xiaoqing was proficient in Taoist magic, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. He only hoped that Xiaoqing could rescue him and bring him back to the world of the living.
Xiaoqing glanced at Xu Xian and said unhappily, "You are so smart and you are asking for trouble. In the end, you still need me to save you."
"Sister Xiaoqing..." Xu Xian didn't know what he had done wrong to offend Xiaoqing. Seeing Xiaoqing angry, he couldn't help but feel very uneasy.
"Stay aside and don't make a sound." Xiao Qing waved her hand and ignored Xu Xian. Her eyes fell on the Black and White Impermanence. She walked forward and said straight to the point: "I want to take this idiot's soul away. Do you want to let him go now? Or do you want me to go to the Yama Palace and ask your Lord of the Underworld for the return of his soul?"
"This..." The Black and White Impermanence looked at each other, looking embarrassed, and no one could make up their mind.
"Well, if you don't answer, I will just assume that you agree that I can take this idiot's soul away—" Xiaoqing was anxious to return to the mortal world to see Bai Suzhen, and she didn't have the patience to argue with the Black and White Impermanence, so she simply waved her hand and ordered the three messengers Black Face, Blue Soul and Yellow Soul: "—Take him with you, let's go." After that, she spun around, a flash of light passed, and she disappeared in an instant.
"Mr. Xu, come with us." Black Face and Blue Soul carried Xu Xian on the left and right and flew with the wind, while Huang Po followed closely behind them.
"We...are just going to let them go like this?" Hei Wuchang pointed at the group of people who left one after another and turned to look at Bai Wuchang.
"What else can we do?" Bai Wuchang spread his hands and said helplessly: "You know that the Third Princess Long just now even our Lord of the Underworld had to hide from her, how can you and I afford to offend her? All right, brothers, let's go back to the underworld, and leave it at that." Bai Wuchang patted Hei Wuchang on the shoulder, then walked first towards the direction of Yin Yang River. Hei Wuchang had to follow, and the two figures gradually disappeared in the mist...
In Bao'an Hall, Bai Suzhen had already woken up. She propped herself up, still feeling a little dizzy and thirsty. She was about to get out of bed to get some water, but someone had already handed a cup of water to her. Bai Suzhen took the cup of water, a smile spread across her lips, she took a sip of tea, and gently called out, "Qing'er..." She was stunned the moment she raised her eyes, and after a long while she asked in surprise, "Ziying? Why is it you? Where's Qing'er?" She looked around, but didn't see Xiaoqing, and felt inexplicably disappointed. "Ziying, where is Qing'er?" She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows with her fingertips, her eyes returned to Ziying, and she asked out loud.
Ziying replied: "The princess went to the underworld to rescue Mr. Xu."
Bai Suzhen paused and asked in surprise: "What happened?"
Ziying then told Bai Suzhen the truth about how Bai Suzhen showed up after drinking and how Xu Xian was frightened to death. Bai Suzhen was silent for a long while and asked, "So Qing'er went to the underworld to intercept Xu Xian's soul?"
"Yes." Ziying nodded: "The princess went with Black Face, Blue Soul, and Yellow Soul."
Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment, stood up and walked out of the house, "Take me to see how Xu Xian is doing." Ziying took a few quick steps and led the way.
The two came to the room where Xu Xian was. Bai Fu was guarding the bed, casting a spell to protect Xu Xian's body temperature so that his body would not cool down and become stiff.
Bai Suzhen walked forward, stood beside the bed, looked down at Xu Xian's body on the bed, and slowly her face became solemn, "Bai Fu, no need to cast spells." Suddenly she raised her hand and said to Bai Fu. Xu Xian's limbs had gradually become stiff, and Bai Fu's spells had no effect on him, and it would be futile to continue casting spells.
Bai Fu finished his practice, with a slightly tired look on his face. It was obvious that the spell he had just cast had consumed a lot of his energy.
"Ziying, how long has Qing'er been in the underworld?" Bai Suzhen cast a protective barrier over Xu Xian. Ziying stood behind her, thought for a moment, and said, "About half an hour."
"It's been so long..." Bai Suzhen frowned, and a look of worry flashed across her usually calm eyes.
Ziying comforted her, "Miss Bai, please rest assured. The Third Princess will definitely succeed in bringing back Mr. Xu's soul."
Bai Fu quickly echoed, "That's right. I believe the Third Princess and Heimian will be back soon. Miss Bai, please rest assured."
Bai Suzhen stared at Xu Xian's body, sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm not worried that Qing'er won't be able to bring back Xu Xian's soul, but the longer the soul is out of the body, the smaller the chance of returning to the world. Xu Xian's physique is weak, and his soul can't be out of the body for more than an hour. If Qing'er can't bring his soul back in time and misses the time, then I'm afraid that even if Xu Xian's soul is brought back, it will be too late to save him and it will be of no use."
"What should we do?" Ziying and Baifu looked at each other and became anxious.
Bai Suzhen murmured: "Now I can only hope that Qing'er can come back in time..."
"Don't worry, sister. This idiot Xu Xian won't die." Just as Bai Suzhen finished her words, a ray of light suddenly flashed across the room, and Xiaoqing appeared in front of everyone, tall and graceful.
Ziying Baifu was suddenly overjoyed, and his spirits lifted. At the same time, he shouted, "Princess!"
"Sister, you're awake." Xiaoqing rushed to Bai Suzhen in three or two steps, her eyes and brows full of joy.
"Qing'er." Bai Suzhen smiled, and her frown finally relaxed. She reached out and pulled Xiaoqing over, carefully looking her up and down. After a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes and stared at Xiaoqing, and asked in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Why did you go to the underworld by yourself? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Xiao Qing smiled and shook her head, "We intercepted Xu Xian's soul before we even reached the underworld, and we didn't encounter any trouble."
"That's good." Bai Suzhen helped Xiaoqing tidy up the messy hair on her forehead, looked into Xiaoqing's eyes, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Qing'er..." She pursed her lips and blamed herself, "It's all my fault that I lost my vigilance and drank the realgar wine by mistake. I showed my true form and scared Xu Xian to death. I also caused Qing'er to suffer. It's all my fault..."
"Sister, how can I blame you? If anyone should blame someone, it should be Xu Xian!" Xiaoqing grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand and clenched it tightly. She turned her head and glared at Xu Xian on the bed. "If it weren't for this idiot's meddling and coming back, how could sister scare him? This idiot looks so stupid, he deserves his bad luck. Humph, if I didn't want you, sister, to owe him anything, I wouldn't bother to go to the underworld to save him."
Looking at the childish Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen couldn't help laughing and tapped her upturned nose lovingly: "You, why can't you treat Xu Xian calmly?"
Xiao Qing curled her lips and muttered, "I was very kind not to tie up the guy who had illusions about you and throw him into the river to feed the fish."
"Qing'er..." Bai Suzhen sighed helplessly. She really couldn't do anything about Xiaoqing. "By the way, where is Xu Xian's soul? Didn't you bring his soul back? Where is it?"
"Behind them... Blackface and the others will be here soon."
