The sage was determined to die.

Wang Zhixuan thought Chu Ze would be angry, or at the very least, he should have some emotional fluctuations.

He simply nodded and said, "I know."

That fair, delicate hand lifted him up, and a voice with a fake smile slowly said, "You reap what you sow. I just wanted to give it a try."

Wang Zhixuan was about to say something more, but before he could speak, the hand grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him into a huge pit.

In the blink of an eye, he continued to fall.

Chu Xi watched all this from the sidelines. He was already used to killing, but seeing his brother's methods, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you really have to go to this much trouble to kill someone?"

Chu Ze turned around and looked at him, saying, "Ah, actually I didn't intend to kill anyone."

"Huh?" Chu Xi stared at the bottomless crevice and peered down, saying, "They're still alive? They're incredibly lucky."

Chu Ze smiled but didn't say anything.

……

"I think I made a mistake."

Holding the old tortoise's carcass, Ji Ying muttered to herself, "I shouldn't have killed him first. How could it still be a living sacrifice? Wasn't it a dead sacrifice?"

He sighed softly and said, "Well, let's try anything, even if it's a long shot."

After saying this, he threw the old tortoise into the huge crater that appeared on the ground. The dark crevice seemed to be the earth opening its mouth, swallowing the thing whole in an instant.

At the same time, the girl slowly burped.

Ji Bai turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong? Did you eat too much fruit?"

The girl rubbed her stomach, nodded somewhat uncomfortably, and said, "I probably ate too much."

"But I didn't eat any carbs." The girl rubbed her eyes, feeling a little dizzy. She looked at Ji Bai, drowsiness growing stronger. "I'm so sleepy... my vision is blurry... hurry..."

Before she could finish speaking, her fair cheek was suddenly pinched hard by the person in front of her. Ji Bai's worry was vivid and real. He pinched her, his tone becoming urgent: "Hey, don't sleep, don't sleep..."

He couldn't help but use a bit of force with his hand, and the girl's cheeks turned red instantly.

"Don't sleep." His voice reached her ears clearly. "If you fall asleep, you'll become a different person."

"Fine, let it change. I'm so sleepy..."

After saying that, the girl suddenly realized something was wrong. She reached out and pushed Ji Bai's hand away, opened her eyes abruptly, and her voice was filled with struggle.

"Was I like this before?" she asked.

"You were before..." Ji Bai was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his expression suddenly became tense as he looked at her. There was no other reason than that the armor on his body had automatically wrapped around him and armed him without his control.

"That's how it is," he said.

The girl slapped her face hard, fighting off sleepiness, and said to him, "Phew, so that's how it is. Then I won't sleep anymore."

Seeing that she spoke clearly, Ji Bai didn't say anything more, but just nodded and said "hmm".

The girl pinched herself several times, her expression gradually clearing. She seemed a little hesitant, but still said to Ji Bai, "If I'm still dizzy, you have to pinch me."

"Is this okay?" Ji Bai looked at her and said, "Aren't you very afraid of pain?"

"I don't want her to take over me," the girl sighed.

"Okay," Ji Bai smiled, "you really have changed."
