“Hey! Can you really erase my Demon Abyss mark?” Kong Rui looked at her body, which was leaning against Chao Bai.

Chao Bai nodded. “I’ve always kept my word, but if I help you erase the mark, you have to stay by my side!”

Kong Rui blinked and asked again, “It’s said that wiping out the Demon Abyss mark means fighting against the seal left behind by the Venerable who sealed the Demon Abyss. Are you sure you really have the strength to do so?”

Chao Bai raised his head with a fearless look on his face. “Nothing can stump me!”

For some reason, Kong Rui felt that the Chao Bai in front of her seemed a little different from the person who had been lying in the ice coffin.

She couldn’t explain it, but she felt that the person in front of her was more like an immature child!

Kong Rui shook her head and didn’t think about this question anymore.

At the moment, she still had a problem that she urgently needed to solve. “I still have some things to deal with now. I can’t change my body back for the time being.”

When he heard Kong Rui’s words, dissatisfaction immediately appeared on Chao Bai’s face. “Why? You’re mine! Your soul and body are mine!”

Upon hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui felt her head buzz. She didn’t know how to explain it to him.

She took a deep breath. “I’m not yours! You might be controlling my body now, but there’s no way for you to drag my soul back into my body if I don’t want to.”

“I can!” Chao Bai raised his chin even higher. He was very confident in his strength.

Kong Rui secretly gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to restrain herself from punching that annoying face.

How could there be such a stubborn person?!

Or rather, how could there be such a disobedient child?!

Kong Rui really felt that she really couldn’t communicate with Chao Bai normally. He was as immature as a child!

She gave up struggling and said, “I can promise you that after I’m done, I’ll return to my body and… stay by your side.”

“But during this period, you have to protect my body,” Kong Rui said. Then, she suddenly thought of something and immediately added, “You’re not allowed to do anything weird to my body!”

Chao Bai blinked. He didn’t take Kong Rui’s warning to heart. He smiled when he heard her say that she would stay by his side, and the expression on his face became even more pleasant.

“Are you really willing to stay by my side?” Chao Bai confirmed again.

Kong Rui nodded, then thought for a moment and said, “If you’re really worried, you can follow me back to the Li family’s residence!”

Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui in shock. Clearly, he had never thought of this.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Kong Rui asked, “Or do you have other places to go?”

Chao Bai immediately shook his head. “No! I’ll go with you!”

Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui smiled. “It’s settled then!”

Chao Bai also looked relaxed and at ease.

Anyway, as long as she was by his side, it didn’t matter who followed who.

After the two of them finalized the plan, Kong Rui felt a little troubled. “Why are you so fast? Is this the difference in strength?”

Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui in confusion, as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

Kong Rui sighed. “How are we going to go back now? It will take me at least half a day to walk back to the Li family’s residence!”

Seeing Kong Rui’s dejected look, Chao Bai grinned. “I’ll take you back!”

As soon as Chao Bai finished speaking, he picked up Kong Rui’s waist with one hand and frowned as he looked at Kong Rui’s original body. “This is more comfortable.”

Kong Rui couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Keep my body safe! If you break it, I’ll make you compensate!”

Chao Bai immediately opened his interspatial ring and stored Kong Rui’s body inside.

He exerted strength again and hugged Kong Rui’s current body tightly. Then, the two of them quickly left Spirit Mountain.

“Look! What’s that?” Zi Xuan pointed at the distant sky and shouted.

She and Hong Ling were looking around for a way to enter Spirit Mountain when she suddenly saw a white and red figure flash past in the distance.

Hong Ling looked up, but all she saw was a blur. She didn’t see anything.

“Did two people pass by just now?” Zi Xuan asked in confusion.

Hong Ling, however, was frowning at the distant sky. “Let’s go back and take a look!”

Zi Xuan sighed and thought to herself, “People who bear the burden of office willingly are always ordered around!”
