Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

I've never even heard of it!

The pronunciation of each verse left Lu Yingqiu and the other two dumbfounded.

Ye Yuchan waved her hand, "Oh dear, that's a bit more troublesome, it's easier to confuse that so-called incarnation of resentment~"

Lu Yingqiu silently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Then... what about the second half?"

“You should also take note of this; it is five words.”

"Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon".

Zhang Ruoxue scratched her head in confusion: "Yu Chan, have you gone mad? What kind of species' language are you speaking?"

"This is called chemistry! It was a required course for us back then."

"What kind of study?"

"Oh, don't worry about it."

Ye Yuchan glared at Zhang Ruoxue with annoyance, while at the same time, her spiritual energy began to circulate slightly within her body.

However, she pretended nothing was wrong and repeated it.

"Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, remember that, don't forget it."

"Okay... okay."

Lu Yingqiu could only barely remember the pronunciation of those five characters; as for their actual meaning...

How could she possibly know!

"In short..."

Ye Yuchan silently turned her back, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"From now on, everyone... leave this area."

"Come back in five minutes and give the password!"

8. Decryption

in the dark.

If I had to describe it, it would definitely be "a black with seven colors."

Yes.

Countless colors are faintly interspersed within the somber black, yet at its core, it is pure black, allowing glimpses of other hues within its deep hue.

This is how this realm of nothingness appears before people's eyes.

just.

Within this so-called colorful black, there is a patch of white that stands out incongruously.

There was clearly no wind, yet the white long robe swayed gently.

The young man with black hair and black eyes stared solemnly ahead with his signature dead fish eyes.

In the center of its eyeballs, what is reflected is an extremely dark phantom.

Although it was in a boundless void, the blackness of that shadow was even purer.

That's right.

It is a more extreme and pure black that stands out even more in complete darkness.

It twists and turns, seemingly trying to prove to people that it is alive.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The black voice sounded like a human throat being torn apart, hoarse and shrill.

Yun Ping stared fearlessly at the dark mass that probably no one in this world would dare to look directly at, his expression cold and his tone icy.

Why are you still alive?

Why can't I live?

"Your soul is shattered and your body is destroyed; you should not still be alive."

"...Hahaha~"

[Black] suddenly laughed.

The laughter was particularly ironic; it wasn't just a simple fake laugh.

The black mass twitched twice, gurgling strange sounds: "Soul, soul, body, body..."

"Your perspective shouldn't be limited to just this."

What exactly are you?

Referring to the other party as "thing".

It was because Yunping realized that the black mass in front of him had completely transcended the realm of humanity.

Even if it was once a human, even if it had an unforgettable memory with him as a human, Yunping still believed that it was not human at all.

"That's really too much... calling someone 'thing' or something!"

"You used to call me 'Little Sweetie' just the same way."

Yunping: "..."

His lips twitched, but the icy coldness on his face did not melt away.

"answer me."

As if giving a command, he sharply asked the dark mass, "Why aren't you dead yet—"

"Ye Xuanqiu".

……

……

……

Ye Yuchan wasn't really sure about the code.

Putting aside whether those five minutes could truly cause the memories of the vengeful spirits among them to become disordered... it's questionable whether there are even vengeful spirits among them.

Although Lu Yingqiu's guess was correct, what if after exchanging the secret code, they found that no one was a problem?

Does that mean the remaining manifestations of resentment are not among them?

If that's the case, wouldn't they have to go find that vengeful spirit that's hiding somewhere again?

It feels... getting weirder and weirder.

Strolling across the vast and desolate grassland, Ye Yuchan raised her head and looked at the dark sky where there was no starlight or moonlight at all, her chest heaving with suppressed emotions.

She let out a long sigh and then recalled what she had just done.

A method that came up on the spur of the moment, and it's uncertain whether it will succeed.

Under the guise of simply using coded messages, she secretly issued instructions to others through telepathy.

"I hope it will succeed."

Will the initial guess based on personal feelings lead to this trap?

If it doesn't work, Ye Yuchan doesn't know what to do.

……

Five minutes are almost up.

She turned around, calculated the time it would take to get back to where she started, her heart sank, and her expression hardened slightly.

Give it a try.

……

When the five-minute time limit expired, Ye Yuchan returned to the agreed meeting point almost as if she had timed it perfectly.

Looking around, he saw Zhang Ruoxue, Lu Yingqiu, and Ning Xuchen... plus himself.

There were four people, and none of them disappeared.

Nothing unexpected happened, which is a good thing for Ye Yuchan.

She could see the cold sweat streaming down Lu Yingqiu's forehead, Ning Xuchen stamping his feet anxiously, and Zhang Ruoxue looking confident, as if she believed she had memorized the code.

In Ye Yuchan's eyes, everyone's expressions perfectly matched their respective personas.

"Let me ask you something first—"

She raised her hand, drawing everyone's attention.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Yuchan said loudly, "Everyone, do you remember why we came back here?"

Start with the most basic questions.

"Give each other the password."

Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen, the master and disciple, spoke almost simultaneously.

Zhang Ruoxue was a beat slow to react. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yingqiu and the other person beat her to it, so she could only nod blankly.

Ye Yuchan glanced at Ruoxue, a clear look of suspicion on her face.

"Since that's the case—"

She let out a long sigh.

Let's begin and put forward our own ideas.

That idea, whether it's correct or not, with an unknown probability of success, is completely unknowable.

Ye Yuchan took another deep breath of cold air, her words echoing across the vast grassland.

"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron!"

And then there was the coded message that arrived as scheduled.
