"Hahaha. I've been looking for it for such a long time, but finally I get it so easily!" Seeing that her technique was successful, Lan Ruo laughed out loud, "Last time I made a mistake, not only did I not catch the soul, I even lost the Immortal Tying Rope. The grandma told me to offer forty-nine souls, but I only got a few after half a month. I was planning to cast a technique to store these souls here tonight, but I didn't expect to find it! "
Seeing my confusion, Long Fei hurriedly typed out an explain, "The Dragon King's Great Hall has a water attribute. It can nourish souls."
So that was the reason. I nodded my head. Seeing the Immortal Tying Rope in Lan Ruo's hands, I knew that we were in an adverse situation. I had never expected Lan Ruo to be able to get the Immortal Tying Rope. I looked at Long Fei, who had obviously seen the items in Lan Ruo's hands, and his face instantly changed.
"I never thought that there would be so many Immortal Tying Ropes here." Lan Ruo laughed, "Giving it to the grandma should be enough to compensate for my previous mistakes. No, it must be more than that. Maybe she will give me some rewards."
When Lan Ruo said this, I understood that she gathered souls for these days to make up for her past mistakes. From her tone, it seemed that she was alone here, and she had accidentally obtained the Immortal Tying Rope. However, according to Long Fei's words, the Immortal Tying Rope had not been injected with the Formless Donations, which meant that it was merely an ordinary rope, so it shouldn't be a problem for Lan Ruo to take it back. It was just that Long Fei could hardly explain it to Zhang Quan.
Seeing Long Fei's anxious expression, I tried to type and comfort him, "We cannot defeat her right now, but if there is no Formless Donations in the rope, it's useless. Maybe she really won't take it away, so why don't we wait for her to leave and quickly find Zhang Quan or Zhang Chi Hang to think of a way?"
Hearing me say this, Long Fei thought for a while and was about to type a reply to me on his phone, but we suddenly heard Lan Ruo calling out.
"Eh, why is there something strange with the Immortal Tying Rope?" Lan Ruo shook the Immortal Tying Rope in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "Why does it feel like it is an empty shelf with no mana? If I give this to grandma, she won't let go of me."
Hearing Lan Ruo's words, I couldn't help but look at Long Fei in satisfaction, thinking that my guess was right. If we were lucky, Lan Ruo would probably put the Immortal Tying Rope back in case being discovered by others.
At this time, Long Fei's expression became even more anxious, and he hurriedly typed on his phone. Liu Shuai and I looked at his phone in confusion.
Soon, he typed a message on the cellphone, "She has another way. She can —"
Before Long Fei could finish typing, Lan Ruo muttered to herself, "Looks like I can only use that method to try. Come out — —"
As she said that, Lan Ruo reached her hand out and took out a small bottle that sparkled brightly. I recognized that it was the bottle Yan used to use to store Zhou Yuan's soul, I couldn't help but think back to the scene when Zhou Yuan's soul cried out in despair that night, and then thinking back to how Zhou Yuan looked without a soul, I couldn't help but sigh.
Just when I was thinking about that, Lan Ruo opened the bottle and poured out the shining soul inside.
"Why did not she draw a formation on the ground?" I was curious. I remembered that Yan poured Zhou Yuan's soul on the ground after drawing a formation on the ground that I didn't recognize to protect the soul.
Thinking about it this way, I understand that Yan's job is to completely protect the soul, naturally he had to protect it at all times. However, Lan Ruo was ruthless. Of course she wouldn't pay attention to these details. She won't care whether the soul was injured or not.
Just as I was thinking this, the soul had already reached the ground. Just like last time, there was a glowing 'person' on the ground. When I looked at it, my face changed. Seeing me like that, Liu Shuai strangely touched me and typed, "What did you see?"
It was only then that I remembered that Liu Shuai had lost all of his mana and could no longer see the soul. Thus, I couldn't bother to ask myself why I could see the soul, as I typed out a few words to Long Fei while trembling with anxiety, "Can you let Liu Shuai see the soul too?"
When Long Fei saw the words, he nodded and used his finger to touch Liu Shuai's forehead. After that, Liu Shuai's eyes became clear, and he also looked outside, but when he saw the soul on the ground, he couldn't help but be surprised, then he turned his head and made a mouth posture to me.
I knew what he wanted to say. This soul was the third person I saw at the opposite table last night, other than A Zhe and Ye. It was the "ghost girl" who looked exactly like Ye.
"Ye," Lan Ruo looked at the soul on the ground and said to her with a smile. "I helped you fulfill your wish. How are you going to repay me?"
Ye? Was this soul Ye? Then who was that girl last night? I felt a bad premonition and looked at Liu Shuai. Liu Shuai told me to keep silence and continue listening.
"Thank you so much," Ye slowly stood up and bowed towards Lan Ruo with teary eyes. "Last night, I went to see A Zhe and that new me. The new me was very obedient, I can tell that A Zhe really likes her."
"That's good. Speaking of that, you did it on your own accord." Lan Ruo smiled as she looked at Ye's soul.
It turned to be more strange to me. It was obvious that Ye knew that her own body was no longer with her own soul, but unlike Zhou Yuan's soul, Ye was extremely calm about this matter, completely unlike the performance of Zhou Yuan's soul at that time.
"Yeah," Ye's soul nodded, then she lowered her head and looked at the floor. "In the past, I was too willful. I always wanted A Zhe to care for me, but I was too stupid, and I couldn't express myself. There were many times that I couldn't even say a few words. I could only vent my anger on him, and we argued countless times over it, but I know that I really love him. Only after we broke up last time did I know that he was so important to me. I cannot be without him. The new me is pretty obedient. Her words can make A Zhe calm. So, I am satisfied if A Zhe could be with me, no matter whether my soul is in that body or not."
As she spoke, a few drops of light dripped down from Ye's face. It was probably because she was crying.
Hearing this, I finally understood that it was probably because Ye loved A Zhe a lot, while she couldn't express her feelings but only act rashly. Thus, the two broke up, and somehow she met Lan Ruo, who probably expressed that there was a way for her to change herself. So they made a deal. Lan Ruo obtained Ye's soul. As an exchange, she promised to keep Ye's flesh body and A Zhe together. I shook my head at the thought. What kind of person would do such a stupid thing for love? Thinking about it another way, wasn't Zhou Yuan doing this kind of deal because he was unsatisfied with his own abilities at work? One was for work, the other was for love. It was impossible to make it clear.
I looked at Liu Shuai, and Liu Shuai probably understood it too. He smiled bitterly, and only Long Fei was confused by the conversation. He probably didn't understand the emotions in mortal world.
At this time, Lan Ruo continued, "Since your wish has been fulfilled, I will use your soul and pour it into this rope. I will promise you that if A Zhe is in trouble in the future, I will save him once more."
"Alright." Ye's soul kneeled on the floor, "My heart died at that night. If you didn't help me, A Zhe wouldn't have changed his mind. Thank you so much for helping him in the future."
Oh my god, only now did I realize what Lan Ruo was trying to do. There's no Formless Donation in the Immortal Tying Rope, so she planned to use Ye's soul as a 'drive' to activate the Immortal Tying Rope, and then give it to the so called "grandma" as a credit to make up her mistakes. Lan Ruo was so ruthless. Not only did she deceive Ye's soul, but she also poured her soul into the Immortal Tying Rope. Although I was not familiar with Ye, I felt pity for her when I heard these words. The point was, Ye was so infatuated. It was meaningless even if A Zhe loved her body without her soul.
"That's good." Lan Ruo took a candle from the table and bent down to draw something on the ground. I stood up on my tiptoes and looked at it. It was some kind of array formation. Lan Ruo drew while saying, "Relax, there won't be any pain. I will put the spirit of a rabbit into your body, and you will be as obedient as a little rabbit. A Zhe will love you forever."
Ye was already speechless. She watched Lan Ruo drawing on the ground in a daze. Lan Ruo straightened up after drawing for a while, and raised her arm to wipe her sweat. "I'm so tired. I would not have been in such a sorry state if my vitality was not greatly damaged in the last battle."
Just then, another glass bottle fell out of her clothes and fell onto the floor, breaking into pieces. Then another soul came out. Liu Shuai and I looked and were stunned at the same time. Wasn't that A Zhe?
