After Lin Shanshan and Dou Dou left, Luo Xiu let out a long sigh of relief and then lifted the blanket to get out of bed.
There was a certain intense reaction just when he was about to go through with Lin Xiyue.
And he was only wearing a pair of shorts.
If he had been caught, it would have been too awkward.
Lin Xiyue's face was flushed as she rolled her eyes at him, saying coyly, "I really don't know what goes on in your mind all day."
Luo Xiu walked to the side and placed the wooden box on the table, asking, "Who's calling you so flirtatious? Even in broad daylight, you come to seduce me."
"You're the flirt."
"Still talking back? I'll deal with you tonight."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but think of Luo Xiu's vigorousness, her pretty face turned pale, clearly a bit intimidated.
In the past, whenever she battled with Luo Xiu, it was almost always a one hundred percent win for her.
But ever since Luo Xiu emerged and refined the Hongmeng Holy Body, she began to understand the taste of defeat.
From the night before last, there was no time she didn't end up crying and begging for mercy first.
"Honey... I was wrong, can I rest for two days?"
Luo Xiu, having regained his male dignity, wore a proud look on his face, grunted, and then stared at the wooden box on the table asking, "Xiyue, what kind of treasure do you think it is?"
Lin Xiyue walked to the table, shook her head, and said, "I wasn't there at the time, I don't know what treasure they got."
Luo Xiu said no more and directly opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, a blinding spirit light burst forth!
When the spirit light subsided, Luo Xiu focused his gaze and found inside a mask and a stone.
Lin Xiyue leaned in, her jade hand lightly tucking her fragrant hair behind her ear, beginning to observe seriously.
Luo Xiu stared at her profile, his gaze falling on her fresh red lips, which reminded him of freshly picked morning strawberries, tempting him to take a taste.
Suddenly, he asked, "Xiyue... how about tying up your hair?"
"Why tie it up?"
Luo Xiu said, "I suddenly want to talk back."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue turned and shot him a glare, "I think you're asking for a beating."
Luo Xiu shrugged, "You just talked back, why can't I?"
Lin Xiyue's face turned cold, "Talk properly."
Luo Xiu wisely chose to shut up.
A joke is just a joke, but if he kept this up, he'd definitely get beaten today.
...
After carefully observing for a while, Lin Xiyue said, "These two items seem ordinary, but I feel there's something terrifying concealed within them."
Luo Xiu pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, this stone should be a Shariputra, from Wutian Lingzi."
Lin Xiyue was surprised, "A Shariputra? Like in 'Journey to the West Afterstory'?"
Luo Xiu nodded, "Something like that."
And continued, "As for this mask, I can't tell exactly, but I sense a hint of evil, probably from that Night Devil."
He then reached out and picked up the Shariputra from the box, trying to connect with it using his Divine Sense.
With the connection of the Divine Sense, Luo Xiu suddenly felt his mind blur, and his Divine Sense entered a golden space.
The space was filled with countless mysterious runes.
After roughly scanning with his Divine Sense, Luo Xiu said to Lin Xiyue, "Inside, there are many Daoist Divine Abilities, and waves of the Power of Laws; I'll transcribe those runes and let you all see them later, take whichever suits you."
"Okay." Lin Xiyue nodded, then asked, "And this mask?"
Luo Xiu reached out and picked up the mask, once again unleashing his powerful Divine Sense.
But this time, his Divine Sense encountered layers of obstacles, making it difficult to penetrate.
When he finally forced his way through, he had already spent most of his Divine Sense, feeling dizzy and light-headed.
Just probing required as much Divine Sense as using "Reincarnation."
At this moment.
Luo Xiu's Divine Sense entered a pitch-black space.
In this space, apart from the darkness, there was nothing else.
"Escape! I must escape!"
"Kill them all!"
Suddenly, a hoarse shout came from deep within the darkness.
Along with it were sounds of fierce battling, the clash of metal, and the sound of blades slicing through flesh and bone...
"We must fight through! Find them!"
"Damn Nightwatchers, you'll die by my sword!"
"..."
"The eternal night is upon us, and the Ten Thousand Realms will be obliterated!"
"Ai Hongye, your spark can't ignite this night sky!"
"..."
"Transcendence! It's the only way!"
"..."
Listening to these nonsensical, even chaotic dialogues, Luo Xiu increasingly frowned.
He thought this must have been a great battle from long ago, one in which Ai Hongye participated.
While he was pondering, a strangely bright gray light suddenly appeared visibly in front of his Divine Sense.
The gray light was like a pool of mud, exuding an utmost evil aura, within it could vaguely be seen a grotesque and ugly face.
A hoarse voice came from within the gray light, "Kid, it's you!"
Luo Xiu lightly frowned.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar to him.
"Are you the Buddha Killer?"
"Heh... don't compare me with such trash. The Buddha Killer is just Wutian Lingzi influenced by my devilish nature; it can't be considered the real me."
"Kid, with your strength, you are qualified to know my name."
"Firstly, allow me to introduce myself... I am Ye Wuyi, one of the strongest in the Night Domain."
Luo Xiu, not wanting to waste words, said, "While you still have the chance to talk, give me a reason not to burn this mask."
"Wait!"
Ye Wuyi suddenly panicked and hurriedly said, "This is the ultimate treasure of the Night Domain—Natuoyasi's Gaze."
"You may call it the 'Gaze Mask.'"
"By wearing it, you can temporarily possess the power of the Ancient Demon God 'Natuoyasi.' And being able to enter here and meet me indicates your Divine Sense is strong enough to use it."
"However, wearing it requires you to pay a certain price."
Luo Xiu asked, "What price?"
"Sacrifice of life essence." Ye Wuyi said, "After you wear the mask, every life form you kill will have its Blood Essence Vitality absorbed by the mask."
Luo Xiu laughed lightly, "If I'm not mistaken... once enough Blood Essence Vitality is absorbed, you and that 'La Tuoyashi' will reconstruct a Dao Body and reappear in the world."
"Yes."
Luo Xiu was somewhat surprised, "Admitting it so straightforwardly?"
"Because you're not dumb, I can't fool you."
Luo Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Then let me ask you one more question."
"Ask."
"If I use the Indestructible Divine Flame, can I burn this mask?"
"Hehehehe... too bad, you won't get the chance."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's heart sank, and he hurriedly withdrew his Divine Sense.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the mask in his hand flew onto his face voluntarily.
"Hahahaha..."
Ye Wuyi laughed maniacally.
"By sacrificing you alone, Natuoyasi can reconstruct a Dao Body and return to the world!"
"..."
