Li Yuan’s pupils narrowed slightly, and using a gap, he walked out from the fake cave.
In the moonlight, his shadow was normal, without the slightest hint of strangeness.
He continued to hide in the shadows, trying to see more life.
After several attempts, he successfully saw a maid hurrying through the courtyard.
The maid was as usual, carrying a freshly cooked soup.
The steam from the soup was rising, and the maid’s shadow gradually beca clearer as she walked on the ground.
Small figure, with two long ears...
Such a shadow stretched long and distorted in the moonlight, clearly a rabbit.
The rabbit shadow seed eager to crawl out from the ground, its furry paws holding sharp claws, and when its profile opened its mouth, it revealed a mouthful of pointed teeth...
Similarly, the characters "10~11" floated above the maid’s head, while "10~13" floated above the rabbit’s head...
The "13" kept flickering, but the range of its jumping was large, sotis as low as "11," and at most up to "50."
The maid, with a deanor of "going to serve the master," walked into the depths of the courtyard.
But imdiately afterward, the sound of unlocking shackles, "clang," ca from the depths.
Followed by the sound of soone speaking in a mad babble.
"Awoo, awoo..."
"Good wine, I, Tie Sha, who have road the social world for years, was actually defeated by you."
"I, the Blood Saber Ancestor, am ashad. I was defeated, defeated."
"Have to look at Sect Leader Yu, indeed."
"Holy Fire Palace, ahahaha, awoo awoo..."
Though the mad babbler’s voice was sharp and strange, sotis calling himself "Tie Sha," other tis "Blood Saber Ancestor," Li Yuan could clearly sense that it was Yu Chaoyin.
Why had Yu Chaoyin gone mad?
Or was he pretending?
...
A mont later...
The maid who had been feeding ca out.
The door to the depths of the courtyard wasn’t locked, just a gentle push would open it.
In other words, Li Yuan could easily et Yu Chaoyin.
"If I see Yu Chaoyin, then... I can understand everything that has happened here.
It would save a lot of trouble.
So, I should..."
Li Yuan pulled "Thousand-Mile in a Line," and directly returned to Cloud Mountain Path.
The place he appeared was still the small house in the wind and snow.
Beneath the small house, it was bustling, with the laughter of girls frequently heard, and among them, Tang Nian’s voice.
Li Yuan shook his head and quickly headed for the Black Market Ghost Realm.
The reason he returned was that he thought of sothing: both the Lotus Sect and Xinghai had human skin handcuffs, and Yu Chaoyin, as the Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Sect, was valuable for control.
If they cuffed Yu Chaoyin with the human skin handcuffs, what would happen?
Li Yuan never acted rashly, so he returned.
In no ti, he appeared in the Ghost Realm.
"Dad, back so soon?" Xiaozhao had just set up her easel, the new painting had just gotten a stroke, "Where’s the candy?"
Li Yuan said, "For safety, Dad didn’t buy you candy this ti, next ti..."
"Aww..." Xiaozhao obediently continued with her painting.
Li Yuan directly found Lady Yan and asked about his suspicion.
Lady Yan in Cyan Robe sat in an ancient house and said, "Just as you guessed, if soone bound with human skin handcuffs is cuffed again, they’ll go mad."
Li Yuan pondered, "Yu Chaoyin has gone mad but hasn’t died, which ans... they’ve set a trap around Yu Chaoyin, waiting for to visit.
After all, if I returned, I would surely seek out Yu Chaoyin for answers, and that would be stepping into the trap.
They might not know who I am, but how could a tiger allow anyone to sleep beside it?
The Lotus Sect and Xinghai left this little trap to find , then either subdue , or... just kill outright."
After thinking a while, he asked, "Sister Yan, I just saw so unusual scenes.
The sparrow’s shadow was a mouse’s.
The maid’s shadow was a rabbit’s.
Aside from these, both the sparrow and the maid seed to possess only their original strengths... what is going on?"
Lady Yan in Cyan Robe replied, "Appearance arises from the heart, everything is a beast.
This is a thod of killing discovered over many years in the Miracle Beast Garden of Fujiang Ghost Street.
The curse of the Miracle Beast Garden is special; it can let your desire slowly turn into a beast. The more you struggle, the more terrifying the beast becos.
If you do nothing, the beast grows too.
When it grows to a certain point, the beast will consu you.
This curse is very terrifying, almost unsolvable.
Because beasts born from your own desires will inevitably be stronger than you.
The sparrow and the maid you saw should both be infected with this curse."
"Even sparrows can be infected..."
"Yes."
"If the mouse shadow behind the sparrow eats the sparrow, can the mouse shadow exist independently?"
"It can’t, it’s just a curse.
Unless... there are other ways.
For example, the Ashoka Tree from the flower shop."
"Ashoka Tree?"
Lady Yan said, "If you aren’t going outside, why not co to bed early, and we’ll talk more in bed."
"Alright."
Shadow Blood surged out from Li Yuan, burning Yin Makeup, and he forcibly heated a barrel of water in the Ghost Realm. After bathing and changing, he got into bed.
Because Lady Yan was a ghost, she didn’t need to bathe.
After a round of sweet and warm marital routine, Li Yuan held Lady Yan tighter in his arms, nestling close beneath the sheets.
Lady Yan continued, "The Ashoka Tree can absorb a person’s mory and seal it up.
Within this sealed mory, desire is naturally included too.
When the sealed desire encounters the Miracle Beast Garden curse, it can forcibly create a powerful beast far superior to itself.
The weaker the desire, the weaker the beast, but it will never be weaker than the person themself.
