Chapter 211: Turning Against Each Other

“Night Maiden, sister!”

A surge of shock and emotion overwhelmed her heart. Tears streamed down Shuling’s cheeks as she closed her eyes. Although she didn’t want this, she understood it was the only way.

The sword left her body, blood splattered, and in an instant, eternity was etched forever, preserving the brilliant moment when the flower of life bloomed magnificently.

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, transforming the moment into eternity, forever capturing the brilliance of this life’s bloom.

Night Maiden fell from the massive rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the violent flames, gently enveloping the once-still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness had no more chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty demoness into the deepest abyss of the Nine Netherworlds.

On the Fire Island, the women had been driven to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or let me give you a hand. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix could fully ascend the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his long, powerful arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped the tears from her eyes, his fingers tenderly brushing over the tear stains, handling her with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, flashed a look of ecstasy in her eyes. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left utterly stunned.

She… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild, untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight-fitting attire, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, Bold Three. Yet, he had gained a touch of tenderness and lost some of his wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in turn, gave each of them a uniquely flirtatious yet gentle attention.

“Bold Brother, you worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had only been a moment. The Jade Fan, in an instant, had replaced her expression with a flower-like smile, her graceful body fluttering over like a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s figure. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted, scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure, then glancing at the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a chance. Kill these wretches, and return with me to the Nine Nether City to pursue our grand plan!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, and a demon beyond a demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere. Even with her powers, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the shift in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of Qiao San’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her certainty of victory began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in mid-air. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, making the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique pale in comparison.

The oppressive atmosphere was already suffocating, and Qiao San added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor filled the heavens and earth as he stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating. “Wretched woman, don’t think you can control me with the child! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment, but the outnumbered demoness decided against risking it. After a brief contemplation, she turned and left without a word, riding her cloud away.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit did not stop her departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be overly merciful, warning of endless future troubles.

Despite the women’s reasonable words, Qiao San remained unmoved. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident, hands-behind-his-back posture remained unchanged.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her life hanging in the balance.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s resilience, he would recover quickly, barring any complications.

“Look, the Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who were particularly thorough.

“Indeed, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Right, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Holy Lord!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the Book Spirit. We need to leave quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and returns, we’ll be in trouble! Hehe… We can study her more later!”

“Wench, no—”

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion overwhelmed her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, turning that instant into eternity—a moment forever etched in memory, capturing the brilliant bloom of life’s flower.

Night Maiden fell from the massive rock, powerless, sinking into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the brutal flames, gently enveloping the once-still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness had no more chance to wreak havoc. The flames licked at her, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the Nine Netherworlds.

On the Fire Island, the women had been pushed to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, taunting with a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their desires. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix could fully ascend the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down toward him.

“My dear Ghost Maiden, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the phoenix’s back opened his long, powerful arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his tender fingers brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, utterly enchanted. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left speechless, their jaws dropping.

They… they had never seen this side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild, untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, rugged attire, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. Yet, there was now a touch of tenderness, a reduction in his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the phoenix landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, true to his nature, gave each of them a bit of his uniquely flirtatious tenderness.

“Bold Brother, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though the events seemed long, they had transpired in mere moments. The Jade Fan, now wearing a radiant smile, fluttered over like a delicate bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the fire blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan paused, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure, then glancing at the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, a wave of inexplicable resentment rising within her. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a way out. Kill these wenches, and return with me to the Nine Nether City. Together, we’ll achieve greatness!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you now that there’s always a mountain beyond the mountain, a demon beyond the demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air. Even with her powers, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the shift in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of Qiao San’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-unshakable confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in midair. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, overshadowing the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique.

The oppressive atmosphere was already suffocating, and Qiao San added insult to injury. The light of the Tai Xu Divine Armor filled the heavens and earth as he stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating. “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use our child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your burial ground!”

“You… Fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. She glared at the rogue, but, unwilling to risk her life, she turned and left without another word, riding her cloud into the distance.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit didn’t stop her departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged caution, warning against leaving such a dangerous enemy alive.

But Qiao San remained unmoved by their reasonable concerns. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, he stood tall and composed, his hands behind his back.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her life hanging in the balance.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s resilience, he would recover quickly, barring any complications.

“Hey, look! The Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew everyone’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave poor Qiao San on the ground as they gathered around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox women, who scrutinized her with great interest.

“That’s right, isn’t the Book Spirit supposed to return to the scripture? Why hasn’t she gone back?”

“Exactly, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Saint Lord, don’t you think?”

“Hmm, now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s pick up the Book Spirit and get out of here. If that Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’re in trouble! Hehe… We can study her more closely once we’re safe!”

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, turning an instant into eternity, forever capturing the moment when the flower of life bloomed brilliantly.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the brutal flames, gently enveloping the already still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Fire Island, the women had been driven to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear voice, like a spring thunderclap, rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix had fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down toward him.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his long, powerful arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped the tears from her eyes, his tender fingers brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly into everyone’s memory. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, flashed a look of ecstasy in her eyes. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left speechless, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.

She… they had never seen this side of Qiao San before. They had never imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight-fitting outfit, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. But now, he carried a touch of tenderness, a bit less of his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in turn, gave each of them a bit of his uniquely flirtatious tenderness.

“Bold Brother, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though this all seemed to take a long time, it happened in mere moments. The Jade Fan, in an instant, replaced her expression with a charming smile, her lithe body, with its unparalleled beauty, flitting over like a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s figure. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted her steps, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure, then glancing at the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a way out. Kill these wretched women, return with me to the Nine Nether City, and we’ll achieve greatness together!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you now that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, and a demon beyond a demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere. Even with her power, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the change in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her certainty of victory began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in midair. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, making the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique pale in comparison.

The heavy atmosphere was already suffocating, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Tai Xu Divine Armor suddenly filled the sky. He stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating as he said, “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use the child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your burial ground!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’re something else!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. She glared at the rogue with hatred, but the lone demoness was unwilling to take the risk. After a moment of thought, she turned and left without a word, riding her cloud away.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit did not stop her departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to show mercy, warning of endless future troubles.

To the women’s reasonable words, Qiao San remained unmoved. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident stance remained unchanged.

The women finally sensed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her life hanging in the balance.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous recovery, he would soon be fine.

“Hey, look, the Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who scrutinized her with great interest.

“That’s right, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Exactly, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Saint Lord!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s pick up the Book Spirit. We need to leave quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’re in trouble! Hehe… we can study her more when we get back!”

“Stop!” A clear, powerful shout rang out like spring thunder. Light flashed from the crevice, and a crimson bird soared amidst the flames. Upon the divine bird’s back stood a tall, wild figure.

Qiao San has returned! Qiao San, the rogue with the Ten Sun, has returned with even greater power!

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, transforming the moment into eternity—a moment that forever captured the brilliant bloom of life’s flower.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the raging flames and gently enveloped the Ten Sun Pearls, which had already ceased their motion.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames licked at her, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the Nine Netherworlds.

On the Island of Earthfire, the women had been driven to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan and taunted in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their desires. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or let me give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned. The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix had fully ascended the cliff, the Ghost Princess, tears streaming down her face, leapt into the air and threw herself toward him.

“My dear Ghost Lady, I’ve made you worry. Now, watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his long, powerful arms and caught the reckless ghost. Gently, he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, his tender fingers brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly into everyone’s memory. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, flashed a look of ecstasy in her eyes, while the Fox Queen and the other women stood agape.

She… they… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. Never had they imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could also be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight-fitting attire, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. Only now, he carried a touch more tenderness and a little less wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, without missing a single one, bestowed upon them the uniquely lustful yet gentle affection of a man.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had all happened in mere moments. The Jade Fan, in an instant, had replaced her expression with a blooming smile, her graceful figure fluttering over like a delicate bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the Earthfire blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve already helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted her steps, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure as he stood with his hands behind his back. She then glanced at the women who clung to him, and a sudden, inexplicable resentment surged within her. The once-patient princess of the underworld lost her composure and, through gritted teeth, said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a chance. Kill these wretched women and return with me to the Nine Nether City. Together, we’ll achieve greatness!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that just because you’ve gained Gou Xin’s power, you can look down on everyone. I’ll show you now that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, and a demon beyond a demon!”

As soon as Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air. Even with her powers, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed any change in the space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-unshakable confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in midair. Her aura was no less than that of the Jade Fan, overshadowing the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Formless Technique.

The oppressive atmosphere was already suffocating, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor suddenly filled the heavens and the earth. Standing beside the Book Spirit, he radiated killing intent as he declared, “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use our child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Now, get lost, or this place will become your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got some nerve!”

The Jade Fan Princess nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment, but the isolated demoness was unwilling to take the risk. After a brief contemplation, she turned and, without another word, rode the clouds away.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit did not stop the Jade Fan’s departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the other women urged them not to be overly merciful, lest they leave behind endless trouble.

Qiao San remained unmoved by the women’s reasonable words. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident stance remained unchanged.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her life hanging in the balance.

Amidst the cries of shock, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and, reassured by the resilience of the Ten Sun Body, knew he would recover quickly as long as nothing unexpected happened.

“Look, the Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to abandon the poor Qiao San and instead gather around the Book Spirit, scrutinizing her with great interest, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who examined her in great detail.

“Right, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Exactly, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Holy Lord!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, my daughters, let’s pick up the Book Spirit. We need to leave this place quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’ll be in trouble! Hehe… we can study her more closely once we’re back!”

“My dear Youniang, I made you worry again. Let your husband avenge you!”

The man on the divine bird spread his long, powerful arms, catching the fearless ghost spirit. Gently he wiped away the tears from her eyes, his tender fingers carefully tracing the tear streaks.

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion overwhelmed her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, turning the fleeting moment into an eternal memory, forever capturing the instant when the flower of life bloomed brilliantly.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the raging flames, gently enveloping the once-still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment strong enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty demoness into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Fire Island, the women had been driven to the edge of the fissure. The Jade Fan, her power surging, gently waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their desires. Now, I’ll give you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the fissure, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, escorted by flames. On the bird’s back stood a tall, wild figure.

Qiao San was back! The Ten Sun Rogue had returned with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix could fully ascend the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the phoenix’s back opened his strong, slender arms and caught the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his tender fingers carefully brushing over the tear stains.

Though the moment was brief, it was etched clearly into everyone’s memory. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, while the Fox Queen and the others were left speechless.

She… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild, unruly Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight outfit, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. But now, with a touch of tenderness and less of his former wickedness, the women couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.

As the phoenix landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in his usual flirtatious manner, gave each of them a bit of his unique, roguish charm.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had only been a moment. The Jade Fan quickly replaced her expression with a charming smile, her graceful body fluttering over like a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s figure. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan paused, scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure and the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, and an inexplicable resentment surged within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a way out. Kill these wretched women, and return with me to the Nine Nether City to pursue our grand plan!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a mountain beyond the mountain, and a demon beyond the demon!”

As soon as Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air. Even with her power, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the change in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-unshakable confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in mid-air. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, making the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique pale in comparison.

The heavy atmosphere was already suffocating, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor filled the heavens and the earth as he stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating. “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use our child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, you’re really something, Bold Three!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. She glared at the rogue with hatred, but the isolated demoness was unwilling to take the risk. After a moment of thought, she turned and left without a word, riding on a cloud.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit didn’t stop her departure, but the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be too lenient, warning of future troubles.

Qiao San remained unmoved by their reasonable words. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared, his confident stance didn’t waver.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed to the ground with a thud. As the rogue embraced the earth, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her fate unknown.

Amidst the cries of shock, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous power, he would recover quickly as long as nothing unexpected happened.

“Hey, look! The Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave the poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox women, who were particularly enthusiastic.

“That’s right, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Yeah, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Holy Lord!”

“Hmm, now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

………………

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the Book Spirit and get out of here quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’ll be in trouble! Hehe… We can study her more when we get back!”

She… she… none of them had ever seen such a Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild, unrestrained rogue Qiao San could possess such deep, tender feelings.

Although the lustful blood mark on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight outfit, half-loose hair, and loosely fastened leather belt all proved he was still the same rogue Qiao San. Only now he carried more tenderness and less lechery, making the women weep with joy at this transformation.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San responded with his uniquely masculine, slightly lustful tenderness to each one.

“Dear Brother Danda, I was so worried about you!”

Though this all seemed lengthy, it had actually transpired in only a moment. Yushan had already resumed her charming smile, her graceful figure flying toward him like a bird.

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The spirit of the book closed her eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, turning the fleeting moment into eternity—a moment that forever captured the brilliant bloom of life’s flower.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the ferocious flames, gently enveloping the once-still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Island of Earthfire, the women had been driven to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their desires. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or let me give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a tall, wild figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix had fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down toward him.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his strong, slender arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his fingers tenderly tracing the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was brief, it was etched clearly in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, while the Fox Queen and the others stood in stunned silence.

She… they had never seen this side of Qiao San before. They had never imagined that the wild, unruly Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight-fitting outfit, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. But now, he carried a touch of tenderness, a little less of his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around him, and Qiao San, in turn, gave each of them a bit of his uniquely flirtatious warmth.

“Brother Bold, you had me worried to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had all happened in mere moments. The Jade Fan, now wearing a radiant smile, flew over like a graceful bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the Earthfire blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan paused, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure and the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a chance. Kill these women, and return with me to the Nine Nether City to pursue our great cause!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a higher mountain, a greater demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air. Even with her powers, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the shift in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the spirit of the book emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of Qiao San’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her certainty of victory began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the spirit of the book stepped forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in mid-air. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, overshadowing the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique.

The heavy atmosphere was already suffocating, and Qiao San added fuel to the fire. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor filled the heavens and earth as he stood beside the spirit of the book, his killing intent palpable. “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use our child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine! You’re something, Bold Three!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment, but the isolated demoness was unwilling to take the risk. After a brief pause, she turned and left without another word.

Qiao San and the spirit of the book did not stop her departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be too lenient, warning of future consequences.

But Qiao San remained unmoved by their reasonable concerns. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident stance remained unchanged.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the spirit of the book also spat blood, her fate unknown.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous resilience, he would recover quickly, barring any complications.

“Look, the spirit of the book hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the spirit of the book, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox women, who were particularly enthusiastic.

“Yes, isn’t the spirit of the book supposed to return to the scripture? Why hasn’t she?”

“Exactly, it’s so strange! Look, she even resembles the Holy Lord a bit!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the spirit of the book and leave quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and returns, we’ll be in trouble! Hehe… We can study her more when we get back!”

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. Though reluctant, she knew this was the only way.

The blade left her body, hot blood splattering, a fleeting moment turned eternal, forever capturing the brilliance of this life’s bloom.

Night Maiden fell from the boulder, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the raging flames, gently enveloping the once-still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Fire Island, the women had been pushed to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a hand. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear voice thundered like spring lightning. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“My husband!” Before the phoenix fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the divine bird spread his long, powerful arms, catching the reckless ghost. Gently, he wiped away the tears from her eyes, his tender fingers brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, utterly enchanted. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left gaping in astonishment.

She… they had never seen this side of Qiao San before. They had never imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight-fitting attire, his half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, Bold Three. Yet, now he carried a touch of tenderness, a reduction in his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in turn, offered each of them a uniquely flirtatious yet tender touch.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had only been a moment. The Jade Fan, now wearing a flower-like smile, flew over with her unparalleled beauty, light as a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our ties end here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted, scanning Qiao San’s tall figure standing with his hands behind his back. She glanced at the women clinging to him, and the once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure. An inexplicable resentment surged within her, and she gritted her teeth, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a chance. Kill these wenches, and return with me to the Nine Nether City to pursue our grand plan!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, a demon beyond a demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere. Even with the Jade Fan’s power, she hadn’t sensed the change in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-certain confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, her powerful aura freezing the dust in mid-air. Her presence was no less imposing than the Jade Fan’s, overshadowing the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique.

The oppressive atmosphere was already suffocating, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor filled the heavens and earth as he stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating, “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use the child to control me! If I want children, they can bear me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment. Outnumbered and outmatched, the demoness decided not to risk it. After a brief contemplation, she turned and left without a word, riding the clouds.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit did not stop the Jade Fan’s departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to show mercy, warning of endless future troubles.

To their reasonable words, Qiao San remained unmoved. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his hands remained behind his back, his figure still and composed.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her fate unknown.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous properties, he would recover quickly, barring any accidents.

“Look, the Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, scrutinizing her, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who examined her with great enthusiasm.

“Indeed, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“True, it’s strange! Look, the Book Spirit resembles the Holy Lord a bit!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the Book Spirit and leave quickly. If that wretch Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and returns, we’ll be in trouble! Hehe… we can study her more later!”

“Hmph! Yushan, don’t think gaining Gou Xin’s powers makes you supreme. Let me now show you what ‘mountains beyond mountains, demons beyond demons’ truly means!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly appeared from nowhere. Even with Yushan’s powers, she hadn’t sensed the spatial change, as if this cloud had always existed beside Qiao San.

The clouds slowly dissipated, and Shuling emerged from the void. Without even a second glance, Wang and Yushan understood the source of Qiao San’s confidence. Though Yushan’s expression remained unchanged, her previously unshaken confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, Shuling stepped forward.

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion overwhelmed her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, a moment that turned into eternity, forever capturing the brilliant bloom of life’s flower.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the raging flames, gently enveloping the already still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the Nine Nether.

On the Fire Island, the women were pushed to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“My husband!” Before the phoenix fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down.

“Ghost Lady, I’ve made you worry. Now, watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the phoenix’s back opened his long, powerful arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his fingers tenderly tracing the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was fleeting, it was etched clearly in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, utterly enchanted. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left speechless, their jaws dropping.

She… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, tight outfit, half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, the same Bold Three. But now, he carried a touch of tenderness, a little less of his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women.

As the phoenix landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in his own slightly lecherous yet gentle way, embraced each one.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it all happened in a flash. The Jade Fan quickly replaced her expression with a charming smile, her graceful body fluttering over like a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our ties end here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan paused, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure and the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a way out. Kill these wenches, return with me to the Nine Nether City, and together we’ll achieve greatness!”

“Humph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, a demon beyond a demon!”

As Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere. Even with her powers, the Jade Fan hadn’t sensed the shift in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-unshakable confidence began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in mid-air. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, overshadowing the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique.

The heavy atmosphere already suffocated everyone, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor filled the heavens and earth as he stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating. “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use the child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment, but the outnumbered demoness decided against risking it. After a brief pause, she turned and left without another word.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit didn’t stop her departure, but the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be too lenient, warning of future consequences.

Qiao San remained unmoved by their reasonable words. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared, his confident stance didn’t waver.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her fate unknown.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s resilience, he would recover quickly, barring any complications.

“Yes, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Right, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Holy Lord!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the Book Spirit and get out of here. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’re in trouble! Hehe… we can study her more later!”

The heavy atmosphere already suffocated everyone, and the rogue added insult to injury. The Tai Xu Divine Armor suddenly radiated light filling the heavens and earth. Standing beside Shuling, he overflowed with killing intent: “Wench, don’t think you can threaten this young master with a child anymore! As for children, they can give me dozens. Leave now, or this shall be your burial ground!”

“You… good, good, good you, Rogue Qiao San!”

Princess Yushan nearly choked on her rage. Shooting the rogue one last filled-with-hatred glance, the isolated female demon unwillingly risked nothing further. After a brief hesitation, she turned and flew away without another word.

Qiao San and Shuling did not stop Yushan’s departure. The other women, however, repeatedly warned against such soft-heartedness, cautioning it might leave endless future troubles.

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion flooded her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, a fleeting moment that turned eternal, forever capturing the instant when the flower of life bloomed brilliantly.

Night Maiden fell from the giant rock, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the ferocious flames, gently enveloping the already still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames licked at her, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Fire Island, the women had been pushed to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Now, I’ll give you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear voice thundered like spring thunder. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix had fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down toward him.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his strong, slender arms and caught the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his fingers tenderly brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though the moment was brief, it was etched clearly into everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, while the Fox Queen and the others were left speechless, their jaws dropping.

She… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

But now, he carried a touch of tenderness, a little less of his former wickedness, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, true to his nature, gave each of them a bit of his flirtatious yet tender attention.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had all happened in a flash. The Jade Fan, in an instant, had replaced her expression with a radiant smile, her graceful figure fluttering over like a bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted, her eyes scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure, then glancing at the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a chance. Kill these wenches, come back with me to the Nine Nether City, and we’ll achieve greatness together!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that just because you’ve gained Gou Xin’s power, you can look down on everyone. I’ll show you now that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, and a demon beyond a demon!”

As soon as Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of thin air. Even with the Jade Fan’s power, she hadn’t sensed any change in the space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-certain victory began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded caused the dust in the air to freeze. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, making the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique pale in comparison.

The heavy atmosphere was already suffocating, and the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor suddenly filled the sky. He stood beside the Book Spirit, his killing intent radiating as he said, “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use the child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Now leave, or this will be your burial ground!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. She glared at the rogue with hatred, but the isolated demoness was unwilling to take the risk. After a moment of thought, she turned and left without a word, riding on a cloud.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit didn’t stop her departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be too merciful, lest it lead to endless trouble.

But Qiao San remained unmoved by their reasonable words. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident stance didn’t waver.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her fate unknown.

Amidst the cries of alarm, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous recovery, he would soon be fine.

“Hey, look! The Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew everyone’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave the poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who were particularly enthusiastic.

“That’s right, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“Exactly, it’s so strange! Look, the Book Spirit looks a bit like the Saint Lord!”

“Now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, let’s carry the Book Spirit. We need to leave quickly. If that Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, we’re in trouble! Hehe… we can study her more when we get back!”

Finally sensing something amiss, the women hadn’t yet stepped forward when suddenly “plop!” Qiao San crashed to the ground. As the rogue embraced the earth, Shuling also spat blood, unconscious and in critical condition.

Amidst a chorus of shrieks, the women flew over. Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse, finally relieved—given the miraculous nature of the Ten Sun Body, as long as no accidents occurred, he would soon recover.

“Hey, look! This time Shuling hasn’t disappeared!”

“Sister Night Maiden!”

Shock and emotion overwhelmed her heart. The Book Spirit closed her eyes, and two streams of tears gushed forth. Though reluctant, she understood this was the only way.

The blade left her body, and hot blood splattered, turning that instant into eternity—a moment forever etched in memory, capturing the brilliant bloom of life’s flower.

Night Maiden fell from the giant boulder, powerless as she sank into the sea of fire. Her pure blood, like drifting crimson clouds, miraculously passed through the raging flames, gently enveloping the already still Ten Sun Pearl.

“Wretched woman, no—”

Night Maiden suddenly transformed back into Gou Xin, her resentment strong enough to destroy heaven and earth. But the demoness no longer had the chance to wreak havoc. The flames surged, dragging the once-mighty sorceress into the deepest abyss of the underworld.

On the Fire Island, the women had been pushed to the edge of the chasm. The Jade Fan, her power surging, lightly waved her white jade fan, speaking in a condescending tone, “I’ve always enjoyed helping others achieve their desires. Now, I offer you two choices: either jump down yourselves, or I’ll give you a little push. Hehe…”

“Stop!” A clear, thunderous voice rang out. A flash of light emerged from the chasm, and a fiery bird soared into the sky, its flames cheering it on. On the bird’s back stood a wild and untamed figure.

Qiao San had returned! The Ten Sun Rogue had come back with even greater power!

“Ah, my husband!” Before the phoenix had fully ascended the cliff, the tearful Ghost Princess leaped down.

“My dear, I’ve worried you. Watch as I avenge you!”

The man on the bird’s back opened his strong, slender arms, catching the reckless ghost. He gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his fingers tenderly brushing over the tear stains with utmost care.

Though only a moment had passed, this scene was vividly imprinted in everyone’s minds. The Ghost Princess, hearing the long-lost affectionate address, sparkled with joy, intoxicated by the moment. The Fox Queen and the others, however, were left speechless, their jaws dropping.

She… they had never seen such a side of Qiao San. They had never imagined that the wild and untamed Bold Three could be so deeply affectionate.

Though the mark of lust on Qiao San’s forehead had faded, his short, rugged attire, half-loose black hair, and even his loosely tied leather belt all proved that he was still the same rogue, Bold Three. Yet, there was now a touch of tenderness, a reduction in his former lechery, bringing tears of joy to the women’s eyes.

As the divine bird landed, the women gathered around, and Qiao San, in turn, gave each of them a uniquely flirtatious yet gentle attention.

“Brother Bold, you’ve worried me to death!”

Though it seemed like a long story, it had only been a moment. The Jade Fan quickly replaced her expression with a charming smile, her graceful body fluttering over like a delicate bird.

With a wave of his hand, the rogue who had returned from the flames blocked the demoness’s path. The Jade Fan’s thousand charms were met with Qiao San’s icy words, “Jade Fan, stop pretending. I’ve helped you achieve your goal. Our relationship ends here. Leave!”

The Jade Fan halted, scanning Qiao San’s tall, confident figure and the women clinging to him. The once-patient princess of the underworld suddenly lost her composure, an inexplicable resentment rising within her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Bold Three, for the sake of our child, I’ll give you a way out. Kill these wretched women, and return with me to the Nine Nether City to pursue our great cause!”

“Hmph, Jade Fan, don’t think that gaining Gou Xin’s power makes you invincible. I’ll show you that there’s always a mountain beyond a mountain, a demon beyond a demon!”

As soon as Qiao San finished speaking, a multicolored auspicious cloud appeared out of nowhere. Even with the Jade Fan’s power, she hadn’t sensed the change in space, as if the cloud had always been by Qiao San’s side.

The cloud slowly dissipated, and the Book Spirit emerged from the void. Without needing a second glance, the Jade Fan understood the source of the rogue’s confidence. Though her expression remained unchanged, her once-certain victory began to waver.

Before Qiao San could speak, the Book Spirit took a step forward.

Her moon-white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the immense pressure she exuded froze the dust in mid-air. Her aura was no less than the Jade Fan’s, making the princess’s still-unmastered Heavenly Heart Technique pale in comparison.

The heavy atmosphere was already suffocating, but the rogue added insult to injury. The light of the Taixu Divine Armor suddenly filled the heavens and the earth. Standing beside the Book Spirit, he exuded a murderous aura, saying, “Wretched woman, don’t think you can use the child to control me! If I want children, they can give me a dozen. Get lost, or this place will be your grave!”

“You… fine, fine, Bold Three, you’ve got guts!”

The Jade Fan nearly choked on her anger. Her hate-filled gaze lingered on the rogue for a moment, but the outnumbered demoness decided not to risk it. After a brief contemplation, she turned and left without another word.

Qiao San and the Book Spirit did not stop the Jade Fan’s departure. Instead, the Fox Queen and the others urged them not to be too merciful, warning of endless future troubles.

Despite the women’s reasonable words, Qiao San remained unmoved. Even as the Jade Fan disappeared from sight, his confident stance remained unchanged.

The women finally noticed something was wrong. Before they could approach, Qiao San collapsed with a thud. As the rogue hit the ground, the Book Spirit also spat blood, her life hanging in the balance.

Amidst the cries of shock, the women rushed over. The Fox Queen checked Qiao San’s pulse and sighed in relief. With the Ten Sun Body’s miraculous recovery, he would soon be fine.

“Look, the Book Spirit hasn’t disappeared this time!”

The Ghost Princess’s exclamation drew the women’s attention. Their natural curiosity led them to leave the poor Qiao San aside and instead gather around the Book Spirit, examining her closely, especially the eighteen fox maidens, who were particularly enthusiastic.

“Indeed, isn’t the Book Spirit the spirit of the Ghost Scripture? Why hasn’t she returned to the book?”

“True, it’s strange! Look, the Book Spirit resembles the Saint Lord a bit!”

“Yes, now that you mention it, especially the eyes…”

“Alright, girls, pick up the Book Spirit. We need to leave quickly. If that wretched Jade Fan realizes she’s been tricked and returns, it’ll be disastrous! Hehe… we can study her more closely once we’re back!”

“That’s right! Isn’t Shuling the spirit of the Ghost Sutra? Why hasn’t she returned to the sutra?”

“Exactly! How strange! Look, Shuling looks somewhat like our Holy Lord!”

“Ah, now that you mention it, it’s true! Especially the eyes…”

“Alright, my daughters, pick up Shuling. We must leave here quickly. If that wench Yushan realizes she’s been tricked and comes back, things will be terrible! Hehe… We can study her more later!”
