When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"It can be considered both, but it can't be considered either," Dragon Butterfly said.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Then how do we control them?"

"I don't know," Dragon Butterfly said bluntly.

"You don't know?" Lin Xuan was dumbfounded.

Dragon Butterfly opened her eyes, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Do you think I'm omniscient and omnipotent?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Then you're basically saying nothing, aren't you?"

"I don't know how to counter the Minghun Sect, but there is a cultivation style that can counter every other style equally," Long Die said.

Lin Xuan frowned and said, "You mean ghost cultivators?"

"Yes." Dragon Butterfly nodded.

"But there are too few ghost cultivators, and their reputation is too bad. The entire Daqing, or even the entire Zhenwu Continent, may not be able to gather three digits of ghost cultivators," Lin Xuan said.

Dragon Butterfly said, "Then I don't know. I'm just telling you my solution."

Lin Xuan stroked his chin, frowned in thought, and suddenly thought of something.

In his previous life, when he was traveling throughout the entire True Martial Continent, he had heard that there were ghost cultivators in a small border town in Daqing.

However, that town was later destroyed, and no one knows why.

Later, the place became a deserted village, often haunted by earthbound spirits and various evil spirits. Many caravans and even armies would choose to detour when they arrived there.

Based on the timeline, the town should have been destroyed at the end of the year, which means there are still three months until the town is destroyed.

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

If he wants to ask the ghost cultivator for help, he'd better hurry, because that town will be gone in three months.

Moreover, finding the ghost cultivator can not only counter the Minghun Sect, but also help Lin Xuan unlock the mysterious area of ​​the ancient battlefield that was sealed by the earthbound spirits.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Dragon Butterfly, I need your help," Lin Xuan said.

"Speak," said Dragon Butterfly.

Lin Xuan said, "You have already taken the pill I gave you, and from now on your injuries will not affect your cultivation."

"Therefore, I hope that you can protect the Lin family during the time I am away from Qingzhou City."

Long Die slowly finished her cultivation, completely refining the medicinal power within her body. Then, the horns on her head retracted into her body, and the scales on her body faded, making her look more like a human, with fewer of the characteristics of a demon beast.

"Are you leaving?" Dragon Butterfly asked curiously. "Where to?"

"To a very far place," Lin Xuan replied. "I have already made an enemy of the Minghun Sect. If I don't find a way to retaliate, the Lin family will likely face bloodshed in the future."

Dragon Butterfly said, "Fine, since I took your benefits."

"Thank you." Lin Xuan clasped his hands in thanks.

Dragon Butterfly snorted and asked, "No need for pretense. I just want to know, is the pupa still with you?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Of course."

It's not just there, it's already ingrained in my blood.

Dragon Butterfly said, "Take it out and let me see it."

Lin Xuan replied, "I have hidden it in a very safe place. No one will find it."

"I'll show it to you when I get back from there. Otherwise, what if you don't help me guard the Lin residence if I give it to you now?"

Dragon Butterfly was clearly not as cunning as Lin Xuan. After hearing Lin Xuan's words, she also felt that they made sense, so she nodded and agreed with Lin Xuan's statement.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Fortunately, the dragon butterfly isn't very smart, otherwise it would be really hard to fool it.

"Lately, for some reason, I keep dreaming about my husband," Long Die suddenly sighed and said to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he recalled his encounter on the ancient battlefield that day. He asked, "You dreamt about your husband? Could you be more specific?"

Dragon Butterfly said, "He told me that he would be reunited with me soon, but I also know that it was just a dream."

"However, in the past few days, I have been able to vaguely sense my husband's presence. Although it is very faint and fleeting, I am certain that my husband has arrived in Qingzhou City."

Lin Xuan was startled upon hearing this.

Dragon Butterfly's husband has arrived in Qingzhou City? This doesn't seem to be good news for Lin Xuan.

The couple will reunite and then find Lin Xuan to ask for the dragon butterfly pupa. If Lin Xuan cannot produce it, they might disembowel him.

Lin Xuan gasped, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, and asked, "But didn't you say your husband was dead and needed a pupa to be reborn?"

"That's right, but I did sense his presence." Dragon Butterfly also looked puzzled.

Lin Xuan said, "Maybe you're dreaming."

"Perhaps," Dragon Butterfly sighed.

Lin Xuan let out a breath and said, "Then I'll leave the Lin family in your care."

"Naturally." The dragon butterfly slowly stood up, and its scales peeled off piece by piece as if it were molting, turning into tiny golden light and dissipating, revealing its exquisite and perfect body to Lin Xuan without reservation.

Faint traces of scale patterns lingered on her shoulders and neck, shimmering gently with her breath, creating a beauty that was both eerie and striking.

The humanoid form of the dragon butterfly was so clean, its entire body pure white, as beautiful as a work of art.

Lin Xuan was stunned, frozen in place, as if he had been immobilized.

Long Die looked down at herself, then at the dumbfounded Lin Xuan, snorted, and with a flick of her wrist, a gust of wind sent Lin Xuan sprawling to the ground.

Lin Xuan scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, only to see that Long Die had casually torn off a few large leaves and vines and wrapped them around her body, barely managing to cover herself.

For demonic beasts, they are protected by body hair and scales all year round, but when they transform into human form, their body hair shrinks back into their bodies. Although it still serves to protect their bodies and keep them warm, it looks like they are barely clothed to humans.

Monsters do not have the sense of shame that humans have, and they do not feel ashamed of being naked.

But now that Dragon Butterfly wants to integrate into the human world, she naturally has to learn the rules of the human world. Therefore, she also has to learn to dress like humans.

Moreover, with her graceful figure, going naked would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, it's better to cover it up.

"Humans are so lowly; they get aroused just by looking at a female's body," Dragon Butterfly mocked.

Lin Xuan cleared his throat and said, "It's not like you demon beasts don't go into heat."

"We demon beasts only go into heat during the mating season, unlike you humans who go into heat anytime, anywhere," the dragon butterfly retorted.

"I don't want to argue with you about these pointless things. Now, come with me to the Lin residence," Lin Xuan said irritably.

Dragon Butterfly snorted and said, "You go back first. I'll instruct the beasts on how to protect the Beacon Forest after I leave."

"Okay, but remember, you're not allowed to go out in the street without clothes on!" Lin Xuan reminded him.

Dragon Butterfly said, "I know, I don't need you to remind me!"

Lin Xuan snorted and turned to leave the Beacon Fire Forest.

However, he was still worried about Dragon Butterfly.

What if she goes to Qingzhou City wearing just those few leaves? That won't do!

So Lin Xuan hurried to the city, bought some women's clothing, and rushed back to Fenghuo Forest.

As a result, Lin Xuan sensed danger as soon as he reached the outskirts of the city.

Before Lin Xuan could react, there was a whooshing sound as the horse beneath him let out a miserable cry, its limbs snapping and throwing Lin Xuan off the horse.

Lin Xuan was prepared and rolled over to steady himself.

Since the enemy's location was still unknown, Lin Xuan did not reveal himself immediately, but instead lay prone in the jungle, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Young Master Lin, stop hiding, we've seen you."

A clear, ethereal voice seemed to echo from a deep abyss, drifting into Lin Xuan's ears.

Lin Xuan felt a little dizzy, so he immediately focused his mind and shook off all distracting thoughts.

"Mind control technique!" Lin Xuan was startled.

The newcomer turned out to be a soul cultivator.
