After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Haoyu Continent, Jitian City, in front of a quiet and peaceful house——

Li Wan was about to go out with a bamboo basket in her hand, but when she opened the door, she saw Qin Gu in moon-white clothes blocking the door.

"...Your Excellency." Li Wan's heart skipped a beat, a hint of panic in her eyes, and she bowed to him respectfully.

Qin Gu walked towards her with his hands behind his back, raised his eyelids, and a complex emotion inadvertently flashed across his usually cold eyes: "...Isn't it good now? You can stay with your husband, and no one from the Taoist and Demonic worlds will interfere with you. The two of you can live your lives in peace like this. Isn't this what you pursued in your previous life..."

"Your Excellency...what are you talking about? Wan'er...don't quite understand..." Li Wan lowered her head guiltily, holding the bamboo basket tightly in her hands.

"Jitian City is under the jurisdiction of our Jijian Sect. Everything that happens here, as long as I want, I can know it clearly..."

Seeing that she refused to admit having seen the demons before and pretended to look innocent, Qin Gu's face instantly darkened.

Li Wan didn't say anything for a while, she just lowered her eyes, and recalled that a few days ago, someone from the demon clan came to her and whispered something in her ear:

"...Young master, are you willing to be trapped in this Jitian City forever by the people of the Taoist sect? Are you willing to be monitored by them every day and not be free? Even if you are willing to give up your freedom for Qin Yun, oh no, for Pei Shi, are you willing to stay with him as a mortal? Pei Shi is a cultivator, and his life span is much longer than yours. You are just a mortal now, with only a few decades to live. How can you stay with him forever... But if you return to your father, the Demon Lord will restore your magic power and give you endless life..."

After hearing these words, although Li Wan did not agree directly, her heart was stirred.

The word "lifespan" has long been a hurdle in her heart. Not surprisingly, Pei Shi's lifespan is much longer than hers. If she were just a mortal, she could only be with him for a few decades. But now someone told her that she could gain a long lifespan and stay with Pei Shi forever. With such a great temptation, how could she not be moved!

But it was obvious that her meeting with the demons that day was known to the Taoist master in front of her. At this moment, she not only resented Qin Gu, but also had a little resentment towards Pei Yun in her heart.

"...Your Excellency, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I have to go out to buy groceries." Li Wan suppressed the trembling in her heart and forced a smile.

Seeing that she wanted to go around him, Qin Gu raised his hand and waved his sleeve, and a translucent blue sword appeared to block the door, blocking her way.

Li Wan was shocked by his powerful aura and could not help but take a few steps back before she could catch her breath.

"Wan'er?" At this time, Pei Shi, who was practicing spear in the backyard, heard the noise and came out. He came to Li Wan's side and saw Qin Gu's figure. He unconsciously revealed admiration on his face and asked in surprise, "Why is your Excellency here?"

"...I am here to remind you that the sect has recently discovered that there are demons running around in Jietian City. You'd better not leave this house during this period, especially...your wife..." Qin Gu did not tell you about Li Wan's meeting with the demons.

“Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency.” Pei Shi’s face was slightly tense. After bowing to Qin Gu, he quickly said to Li Wan beside him, “Wan’er, don’t go out for the time being. It’s dangerous outside. It would be bad if the demons found you!”

Li Wan looked up at Pei Shi, then glanced at Qin Gu with a cold look. Her lips moved slightly, and finally she nodded at Pei Shi's worried gaze and walked back to the room.

Pei Shi watched her back as she entered the room, then heaved a sigh of relief and welcomed Qin Gu into the backyard.

Looking at Pei Shi's expectant expression, Qin Gu paused and finally accepted his invitation.

Pei Shi asked Qin Gu for advice in the yard for a whole day. Although Qin Gu was a sword cultivator, he was a top-notch master and it was effortless for him to guide him in the practice of spearmanship.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

After a whole day, Pei Shi felt that he had benefited a lot. Qin Gu was one of the best masters in the entire continent. Many people from the Jijian Sect wanted to become his disciples and seek his guidance, but Pei Shi heard from the Jijian Sect disciples that Venerable Qin Gu had declared that he would not accept any more disciples.

Now that he is spending so much time instructing me, it must be because of what my fifth sister said, that I was the reincarnation of his apprentice.

At this moment, in addition to his admiration and gratitude towards Qin Gu, Pei Shi also felt a trace of envy and jealousy that he himself was not aware of. It turned out that Qin Yun was so important to this Venerable Qin Gu, so important that he was willing to teach him even though he was not sure whether Qin Yun was the reincarnation of his disciple.

"Your Excellency, have some tea."

Qin Gu stared absentmindedly at the respectful gaze and smile on the face of the person opposite him. Memories of the past came to his mind. There was once such a person who kept muttering "Master" in his ear, and he looked at him in the same way. At this moment, the two faces seemed to overlap...

The fingers hanging behind his back moved slightly, and a ripple somehow arose deep in his heart.

"… Your Excellency?"

Qin Gu came to his senses, the sadness and longing in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he returned to his usual indifference. He took the teacup and took a sip, then avoided his gaze uncomfortably and said lightly:

"That's all I'll tell you today. Don't go out for a while. These resources will be enough for you to use for a while. I'll come back when you can go out."

After saying that, he handed him a space ring.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Gu didn't stay any longer. He nodded and left the house.

At night, Li Wan saw Pei Shi sitting in the hall, concentrating on wiping his spirit spear. She thought for a moment and walked over to sit beside him. After a moment of silence, she said, "Husband, let's leave here!"

"...What did you say? Leave here! Why?" Pei Shi raised his head and asked in surprise.

"I think we should go back to the Loose Cultivator Alliance! I feel too constrained staying here..."

“But staying here is the safest, and the environment here is much better than in the Loose Cultivator Alliance. It should be freer…”

Pei Shi was very confused by her words. When he was in the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he had to take missions and leave every once in a while. Once he left, Li Wan never went out except for basic necessities. At that time, the elders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance would keep an eye on them from time to time.

"Free? If you're really free, how come you can't even leave the house!" An incongruous sneer appeared on the usually gentle face.

Hearing the complaints and sarcasm in her tone, Pei Shi was even more surprised. It was the first time he saw Li Wan speak in this tone, and this sarcastic attitude was directed at Venerable Qin Gu.

"Wan'er, Venerable Qin Gu is doing this for our own good. He is not stopping us from going out. He just wants us not to go out for the time being. He is also afraid that we will encounter the demons..."

"Demons! Demons!" Li Wan stood up impatiently, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out. "We have never encountered demons attacking us since we came here from Beiqizhou. It has always been Pei Yun and this Venerable Qin Gu who have restricted my freedom. What have I done wrong! Did I kill someone from the Taoist sect? Why do they lock me up here..."

Li Wan became more and more excited as she spoke, and by the end her voice had risen several times. She shook off Pei Shi's hand, her eyes welling up with red.

"...Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" Pei Shi hugged her shoulders with both hands and said with a worried look on his face.

"Let's leave, can we leave here?" Li Wan pleaded with sobs.

"…If we leave, what will we do if we encounter demons?"

"...I am originally the young master of the demon clan. If I return to the demon clan, I will have endless life and I can be with you for a long time. Isn't that good?" Li Wan finally expressed her fantasy. She stared at Pei Shi with longing in her eyes.

Pei Shi frowned and looked at the person in front of him with an expression of disbelief, as if he was meeting her for the first time. He let her go, took a few steps back, but pursed his lips and said nothing.

"...You think this is not good? You don't want me to stay with you for a long time?" Li Wan's smile gradually faded.

"I said... if you become possessed by the devil, we will die together. If you think your life span is shorter than mine and you are afraid that you cannot stay with me, then... on the day you die... I will go with you..." Pei Shi looked at her without blinking and said resolutely.

On the other side, in the villa on Blue Star——

Pei Yun was teleported out by Wang Yuanmao just after she had killed the soul-devouring demon. As soon as her soul returned to her body, Luo Rufeng beside her realized it and happily grabbed her hand: "Yun'er."

Pei Yun regained consciousness and told Luo Rufeng and Qin Meng about her experience in the Demon Tower.

"That means the soul of the soul-devouring demon has been destroyed by you..." Qin Meng said.

"That's right, but the 'seed' in my mind has also disappeared. I guess I can't enter the Demon Tower. I suspect that this 'seed' may be the evil method practiced by the Soul Devouring Demon, which is mainly used to possess and devour souls. Once his soul is destroyed, this 'seed' will naturally dissipate..."

"This also means that the 'seeds' in the minds of those mortals who were tricked into the Monster Tower by the game will also dissipate. It seems that the people in the Special Management Bureau don't need to worry about it..."

"But... we killed the soul-devouring demon's soul, but let Wang Yuanmao escape! He controls the demon tower, and we don't know where he went..." Luo Rufeng said.

“Your Excellency, don’t worry about this. I deliberately delayed a little while chasing the Soul Devouring Demon, and quietly left a tracking mark in the tower. Wang Yuanmao will definitely not be willing to abandon the Demon Tower and run away. As long as he takes the Demon Tower with him, we will be able to find him soon…”

"Then notify the Special Management Bureau as soon as possible and have them report it. Try to catch him within the country. Once we get the Demon Tower, I estimate that the power of time and space in the Time and Space Disk will be almost collected, and we will be able to go back soon!"

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng both nodded with joy on their faces.
