When Ji Xiuzhu heard Cui Yunshen's words, his pupils widened instantly, as if he thought he had heard it wrongly.

She held Bai Ze in her arms and asked, "You mean, you threw this guy away once before?"

Cui Yunshen scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this and said, "Yes, you fainted just now and couldn't free your hands, so you threw it aside. Unexpectedly, this thing found it by itself."

After Cui Yunshen finished speaking, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue at Bai Ze in Ji Xiuzhu's hand.

When Bai Ze saw this, his eyes first narrowed, and then he instantly became angry.

It danced and growled at Cui Yunshen. If Ji Xiuzhu hadn't been holding it, it might have rushed up and bit Cui Yunshen.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Bai Ze, who was making a threatening move in front of him, and felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.

She said to Bai Ze: "Don't glare at him, he didn't mean it. But... I'm curious, how did you know we came in?"

After hearing Ji Xiuzhu's words, Bai Ze immediately stopped struggling, and a hint of human grievance flashed in his eyes.

It turned its head and looked at Ji Xiuzhu with a tearful face, occasionally making a whimpering sound from its throat, as if accusing something.

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bai Ze's aggrieved look.

"You little thing, you are quite human. Okay, I will let you follow me reluctantly, but you have to play your role. Otherwise, you will be a burden and I will have to take care of you all the time."

When Bai Ze heard this, he understood what Ji Xiuzhu said and trembled all over.

Ji Xiuzhu pretended to be unaware and took Bai Ze into his arms.

At this moment, the runes on the rock wall suddenly glowed with golden light, so bright that people could not open their eyes.

Although Ji Xiuzhu had a veil covering his eyes, it was of little use against such strong light.

After the golden light disappeared, Ji Xiuzhu slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did I realize that there seemed to be something unspeakable at the end of the cave.

Cui Yunshen looked towards the end and his hair stood on end instantly.

He approached Ji Xiuzhu, grabbed Ji Xiuzhu's arm, and shook it continuously, saying, "Shishishi, Master, there seems to be a coffin in there!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu narrowed his eyes instantly.

It’s not that she wasn’t afraid of what was in the coffin, but the coffin looked so festive that she couldn’t be afraid even if she wanted to.

It was more like a grocery box than a coffin.

Ji Xiuzhu observed the coffin calmly.

The coffin was made of wood all around, but the coffin was covered with various vines and some weathered old clothes.

Ji Xiuzhu slowly approached the coffin. She always felt that there was something inside that was attracting her.

She gently stroked the vines on the coffin. The moment her hand touched the vines, she suddenly felt a powerful force surging in her heart.

Then, the lid of the coffin slowly opened by itself, and a ghostly fire emanated from inside the coffin.

Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen stood facing each other, then looked inside the coffin in surprise.

At this moment, there was a beautiful woman lying quietly in the coffin. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as white jade, yet so delicate that it could be broken by a touch.

Since Ji Xiuzhu came here, she has never seen such a beautiful woman, of course, except herself.

Seeing the woman so close, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and gently touch the woman's cheek.

In an instant, as Ji Xiuzhu's fingertips touched the woman's cheek, the woman's eyes slowly opened.

The woman just stared at Ji Xiuzhu, and then her eyes were filled with anger.

"It's you, you vicious woman! How dare you hurt my son's life!"

So, as soon as she finished speaking, the woman wanted to take advantage of Ji Xiuzhu's unpreparedness and thought of a winning move, which was to strangle Ji Xiuzhu's neck.

But the next second, as soon as his hand reached out, it was bitten by Bai Ze in Ji Xiuzhu's arms.

The pain spread from the wound and the woman couldn't help but scream.

Then, the glowing vines around began to spread rapidly, and then wrapped around the woman's body until she was wrapped like a silkworm cocoon, and then the crazy behavior stopped.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu quickly took a few steps back.

She stared at the tightly wrapped woman, her mind constantly searching whether she had met this woman before. She could see that this woman was not a good person, so she thought about how to deal with her.

Bai Ze also jumped down from Ji Xiuzhu's arms at this time, and then he hopped to the side of the silkworm pupa on his short legs, circled around it a few times, and kept sniffing it.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Bai Ze nervously, not knowing what it was going to do. Suddenly, Bai Ze opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of flame, burning the silkworm pupa.

The flames burned quickly and a woman's scream of pain was heard from inside the silkworm cocoon.

Ji Xiuzhu understood that Bai Ze was trying to save her face, but the matter had not been clarified yet, and it was inappropriate to treat a woman like this.

Then, she made a gesture with her fingers, and a water-summoning talisman was instantly formed in the air. Then, columns of water emerged from the talisman, and then, those columns of water attacked the silkworm pupae that were burned by Bai Ze.

After a while, the water column put out the fire set by Bai Ze.

Then, Ji Xiuzhu picked up Bai Ze.

"Well, you little thing, I haven't even asked for any useful information yet, and you're planning to set fire to the body to destroy all evidence. Tell me, have you discussed this with that thing?"

Bai Ze was stunned when he heard this.

Why does it recognize every word Ji Xiuzhu said, but doesn't understand what they mean when they are put together?

It was clearly trying to help Ji Xiuzhu just now, so how could it be discussed beforehand?

This woman obviously wants to wrongly accuse it!

Thinking of this, Bai Ze instantly became angry, and then he saw it struggling around, trying to break free from Ji Xiuzhu's restraints.

But it never expected that Ji Xiuzhu had held the back of its neck very tightly, so it tried to break free for a long time in vain.

So, it roared at Ji Xiuzhu, constantly venting its grievances.

But in Ji Xiuzhu's view, its behavior was just the whining of a puppy who had done something wrong, and was trying to beg its owner to let it go.

"Alright, stop struggling. No matter how much you struggle, I will never let you go. After all, you almost killed someone I could question."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he hugged Bai Ze tightly to his chest, and then restrained Bai Ze's limbs, making him unable to move.

After seeing Bai Ze obedient, Ji Xiuzhu turned and walked towards the vine cocoon that wrapped the woman. She asked softly, "Who are you? Why are you here? And why do you call me that when you see me?"

Perhaps it heard Ji Xiuzhu's words, or perhaps Bai Ze's fire just now burned the vines.

In an instant, a crisp sound was heard, and then the vine cocoon that imprisoned the woman was instantly torn into pieces.

After the vines shattered, a woman was seen standing facing the wind, her eyes deep.

The woman glared at Ji Xiuzhu and had no intention of answering him.
