When Yang Ji saw Tantai Jin carrying a person over, he hurriedly said, âYour Majesty, everything is ready.â
âMmm,â Tantai Jin said.
He placed Su Su into the weak water. The weak water now was only enough for a very shallow layer, barely enough to immerse Su Suâs body.
The hem of her clothes wasnât wet, and her white dress looked especially gorgeous in the weak water, like pieces of silver1, and her soft cheeks were exposed.

He looked at her for a moment, his expression cold and harsh.
An old Daoist in black Daoist robes bowed towards Tantai Jin, âYour Majesty, donât worry, nothing will go wrong2.â
This old Daoist was actually the one who Su Su had killed at the bottom of the river. He had obtained a spiritual weapon during his adventures in the past3, so when he was collected by the Soul Eating Flag, heâd barely managed to not be torn apart.

Right now, itâs blood ran cold5. It had just wanted to forcefully wake Su Su up, when in the next moment, it was submerged in the weak water.

Curved Jade: âŚâŚ
The weak water was where no living thing could survive, one was unable to use spiritual energy in it. Even the Clam Princess could only endure the pain to find Ming Ye.
Curved Jade couldnât do anything now, unless it also wanted to melt in the weak water, but Little Master would be stuck here forever. Otherwise, right now, as a jade bracelet, it couldnât even see or hear.
What will happen?
*****
Tantai Jin was holding a white worm in his palm.
Yang Ji looked excited, âThis is our tribeâs sacred item, the Omnipotent Gu! This subordinate is definitely not mistaken. Your Majesty, why is it here?â
Tantai Jin examined the Gu worm and casually replied, âI picked it up.â
Yang Ji stopped asking and instead excitedly explained, âThis Omnipotent Gu is the mother Gu of all Gu worms. Legend has it that it can cure all types of poison, making one invulnerable to all kinds of Gu.â
Tantai Jin curled his lips up into a smile, but Yang Ji couldnât help feeling like this smile was a little cold.
Tantai Jin clenched his fingers tightly and sure enough, he saw Yang Jiâs face pale, looking extremely pained.
The young man mischievously chuckled, âJust kidding.â

Tantai Jin opened his hand and coldly scrutinized the worm in his palm. He thought he knew whoâd given this to Su Su. She actually met that person, and they were willing to give her such a good thing. Whatâs their relationship?
No wonder the Spring Knot Silkworm in Ye Xi Wuâs body didnât attack her, it turned out to be because of this little thing.
Unfortunately, the effect of the Spring Knot Silkworm would last until death once planted in her body, as heâd destroyed the only antidote. Even with the Omnipotent Gu, it could only guarantee that the Spring Knot Silkworm wouldnât attack, but it couldnât remove it.
âWill she come back again?â the young man coldly asked.
The old Daoist said, âYes, this poor Daoist doesnât dare to deceive Your Majesty.â
Tantai Jin placed the Omnipotent Gu back into the jade box and threw it back into Su Suâs arms.
Yang Ji spoke in surprise, âYour Majesty?â
The young man said, âAll out.â
Yang Ji hurriedly went out. The old Daoist went into the Soul Eating Flag and flew into a dusty Chinese scholar tree6Â wood box. In the secret chamber, only Tantai Jin and Su Su were left.
It wasnât dawn yet, and it had been raining all night outside, bringing a pure and fresh smell of earth.
Tantai Jin sat by the weak water in the darkness of the secret chamber.
He was certain that no one else could see him right now

Tantai Jin fished Su Suâs hand up from the weak water.
Neither of them had the body of a demon, so the weak water wouldnât harm them, but instead, it dripped from her fingertips like pieces of silver raining down from the heavens.
He slowly took her delicate palm and placed it on his neck, his breathing a little shaky.
The young boy, no, right now he should be considered a young man. It was just that he was too pale and frail, so no one treated him as an adult.
He bit the corner of his lip as hard as he could to control his rapid moans, gripping her delicate fingers, imitating the act of her choking him.
Only until he couldnât breathe did he slightly loosen his hand.
The webbing of the young girlâs thumb was red from his roughness. He heavily gasped as slight moans came from his throat.
He lowered his head to look at the unconscious young girl, his fingers caressed her lips.
âDonât like it? Thereâs nothing you can do about it.â
The young manâs fingers probed into the young girlâs petal-like lips. After a long time, he maliciously yet contentedly smiled.
*****
In the dream, light and shadow intertwined, and a voice kept calling out for Su Su.

She gasped, as if she was suffocated. She covered her chest and subconsciously called out, âCurved Jade?â
It was flooded with guilt, âItâs Curved Jadeâs fault for not constantly monitoring the situation. Now, weâre in a small border town in Cangzhou. A woman picked you up and brought you back.â
Su Su touched her jade bracelet, and sure enough, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. The wooden bed was mottled, and it seemed like the family wasnât rich.
âWe arenât in Mohe City anymore?â
âWe were already here when I regained consciousness,â Curved Jade said.
Curved Jade told Su Su the general situation sadly, âIn the future, if Little Master isnât willing to interact with the young Devil God, Curved Jade will help Little Master even at the risk of my life!â
Su Su shook her head instead, âI donât blame you.â
She was the one who was too stubborn. Dad, Hengyang Sect, and all beings in the Three Realms, she would make sure nothing happened to them. Curved Jade did nothing wrong, as it indeed couldnât rashly use its spiritual energy to prevent her from interacting with Tantai Jin.
Removing the evil bone wasnât only Curved Jadeâs mission, but also her top priority. She touched her body and found that both the Omnipotent Gu and Soul Extinguishing Tear were still there.
She said, âCurved Jade, you did nothing wrong, continue to be dormant.â
How could she rely on it for everything? Recklessly going to Tantai Jinâs side and ending up being bound by the weak water rope was only because she didnât think things through.
Now that the weak water rope was gone and a section of her memory was empty, she was surprised to find that she didnât know when sheâd left Mohe and come to Cangzhou.
Cangzhou was close to Yuzhou, and belonged to the territory of Great Xia.
Before sheâd fallen into a coma, Xiao Lin was stationed in Yuzhou.
Su Su pushed open the door and the harsh sunlight shone in. A woman with a flowered scarf wrapped around her head was chopping fodder for pigs in the yard.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, her eyes instantly lit up.
âLady, youâre awake!â
She wiped her hands on her apron and looked at Su Su like a piece of fat meat7.
Su Su could see her greed at a glance.
She touched her earrings and indeed found that they were missing.
Su Su didnât speak and didnât intend to argue with the woman.
âAunt, what month is it now? Howâs the situation between Yuzhou and Mohe?â
The corners of the womanâs mouth were cracked and she replied, âItâs already the eighth month. Yuzhou was lost, and it was said that the tyrant of Zhou Kingdom created a group of ruthless8Â monsters. Our King Xuan defended the city for a month and then had no choice but to retreat to Cangzhou.â
In an indignant tone, she cursed9Â and said, âThe war has started here too. My poor unfortunate son is a soldier in Cangzhou, I donât know when heâll be eaten by that little tyrantâs demons.â
Su Su didnât expect that in the blink of an eye, one month had passed after being shot in the shoulder by the invisible arrow.
Tantai Jin had conquered Yuzhou by relying on either the corpse demons or some other demons, and Xiao Lin had retreated to Cangzhou.
Su Su looked grave, and for the first time, she realized that Tantai Jinâs thoughts were more profound than sheâd imagined. He was so good at deceiving people that now, when she recalled their time together, she actually couldnât tell what was real and what was fake.
He didnât bat an eye when he killed demons, but sometimes, he was much too weak.
A cold sweat broke out on Su Suâs back as there emerged a sense of lingering fear.
I mustnât go back to him until Iâm strong enough, she thought.
