The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"...Did we succeed?"

There was no answer. Xilin looked at the miserable Ning Feng, wanting to say something but in the end she didn't say anything, she just pursed her lips.

Seeing Xilin's pursed lips, Ning Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling flashed through his mind.

Could it be that...?

"Wait... cough, has something gone wrong?"

That shouldn't be happening!

The altar has been deactivated. According to the cat, those ordinary people would at most just think of it as an unpleasant nightmare and wouldn't be seriously hurt.

If ordinary people are safe and sound, why does Shirin have this expression?

She stubbornly pursed her lips, looking as if she was about to cry but hadn't.

Has something happened to someone connected to me?

who is it?

Staggering toward Xilin, Ning Feng's anxious and flustered expression wasn't entirely an act.

He is not omniscient or omnipotent; he has done his best, but the result may not be what he hoped for.

It's like love, it's like pursuing a dream...

Life is full of disappointments, and often, hard work doesn't guarantee a reward.

!

In his panic, Ning Feng lost his footing and stumbled forward.

Oh no... I'm going to fall.

The brain is aware that it is about to fall, but the exhausted body is unable to react.

Let it fall.

Unfortunately, Ning Feng didn't make close contact with the ground; instead, he was gently supported by Xilin who stepped forward.

"It's okay, everyone is fine."

A slightly hoarse voice, as if suppressing emotions, continued to ring out:

"No one, including the Awakened, died."

If that's the case, then why are you acting like this?

Ning Feng struggled to lift his head as his eyelids grew heavy, and he saw the self-blame and heartache in Xi Lin's eyes.

What are you blaming yourself for? What are you heartbroken about...?

what.

Slowly closing his eyes, Ning Feng finally understood whose figure was reflected in her eyes...

Oh, it was me.

"That's good……"

In the warm embrace, his tense nerves relaxed instantly, and the fatigue and pain that he had deliberately ignored surged up in an instant.

He would not yield to pain and sorrow, but Ning Feng found himself utterly powerless against a gentle embrace.

Fine, if we don't resist, we don't resist.

With his tense muscles relaxing, Ning Feng could no longer support his weight and shifted it onto Xilin.

Shirin is a good woman, in every sense of the word...

She will forgive me.

"We succeeded..."

Hearing the silent laughter of those watching the drama unfold, Ning Feng, now relaxed, saw no need to continue pretending and fainted.

Somewhat helplessly, she hugged Ning Feng's body, and as she smelled the pungent stench of blood, Xilin's expression gradually softened.

"No, you succeeded."

"Go to sleep and get some rest."

She gently touched Ning Feng's brow, and magic formed a new thin film outside the power of light, exquisitely protecting Ning Feng's heart.

Xilin carefully picked up Ning Feng in a princess carry and slowly walked towards the opened spatial rift.

As for what became of that mad priest?

Shirin didn't care.

Since someone had previously tried to stop them, they would naturally deal with those issues.

She was just there to take him home.

That's it.

Chapter 85 The Soul's Destination

"Should we eat first? Take a shower first? Or... eat me first?"

A languid female voice rang out, uttering suggestive words, creating an atmosphere that was exceptionally ambiguous under the dim yellow light.

But despite such blatant temptation, Ning Feng's expression was unusually...

numbness.

I felt completely unmoved, and even felt a little like laughing.

Ha ha.

There's nowhere that's tough except for fists.

"I've come here again, but why shouldn't I be surprised?"

Without even blinking, Ning Feng stared at the black cat wagging its tail and striking poses, lost in thought.

"I somewhat hate myself for starting to get used to all of this."

Not long ago, I was a pure, kind-hearted boy who would blush even if I held a girl's hand.

When did I stop feeling any reaction to these kinds of words?

My little deer who lives in my heart, are you alright?

Although it's really wrong to fall for a cat, you should at least make a move!

At least prove that there's nothing wrong with me!

Ugh.

Fate ultimately dealt a cruel blow to me, a mere cultivator, by arranging for this heartless, despicable cat to come into my life.

It's just too much.

Ignoring the black cat's enthusiastic invitation, Ning Feng turned his head and carefully examined the room.

The wooden house exudes a sense of familiarity and warmth, and the design of its various facilities is something I've only seen in documents before—magnificent yet ancient.

Outside the window stretched an endless expanse of darkness, and from within emanated a palpable sense of oppression…

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, where is this place?"

It has appeared many times, but what exactly is this place?

"Oh? You finally remembered to ask?"

Ok?

An enticing aroma wafted into his nostrils, and Ning Feng knew without turning around that something had changed in the room.

The black cat that had been lying on the recliner disappeared, replaced by a voluptuous woman dressed in revealing clothing, who lay on her side sizing up Ning Feng.

The semi-transparent black veil barely covered the important area, silently enticing Ning Feng to shift his sinful gaze there.

It's hard.

My heart has hardened!

Looking back indifferently at the woman who silently exuded a decadent aura, Ning Feng had many complaints stuck in his throat.

You wicked woman, even if you wanted to flirt with me, you didn't have to be so obvious!

Please put in some effort and don't use corrupted spiritual energy, which I can detect!

And what's most infuriating is that after all that effort, there's still no progress.

It's like for a horse; a good feeder will ensure it gets enough to eat.

The saying goes, "Give grass full marks, never zero marks."

Yes, that's what the horse said.

"Don't show such blatant disgust~ Hahaha, you stingy man."

Ariana smiled and waved, creating ripples that caused the pale pink aura surrounding her to disappear.

But whether it was an illusion or not, at the moment the spiritual energy dissipated, her attraction to Ning Feng suddenly surged.

Dongdong!

Ning Feng felt as if his heart had been suddenly gripped, and he almost lost control of his tense expression.

My heart nearly pounded to its death!

What's happening here?

"This is a special place, but it's too complicated to explain, and you wouldn't understand it in your current state."

"Just think of it as a corner of your soul after we made our pact... Yes, just think of it as our love nest! Oh dear, how embarrassing~"

Ning Feng's temples throbbed a few times. He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to complain, and skipped the topic.

"Is my presence here because you dragged me in?"

Let's get straight to the point, or I'm afraid my blood pressure will spike...
