After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

The inner demon curled up into a ball, keeping his place in the singer's heart.

Even though he was extremely dissatisfied with being treated as a plaything by lowly mortals, he could only feel helpless and furious.

Jiang Qingfeng took small steps closer, looked at Chaoge hesitantly, and glared at the inner demon fiercely.

"That... Tong Yao...?"

Chaoge lowered his eyes and clenched his palms slightly.

"Spit it out."

Jiang Qingfeng: “???”

The dark grey shapeless body of the inner demon twisted fiercely for a moment, and finally, reluctantly, a large red ball was spit out from its misty body.

The 'ball' hung quietly in the air for a few seconds, then suddenly broke apart with a slight 'pop' sound.

What followed was a thin, curled-up figure that came into view.

Her long black hair wrapped around her body and her face was buried between her knees, a very insecure and defensive posture.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingfeng called out, "Tong Yao?"

no respond.

Jiang Qingfeng bravely moved closer and continued to call, "Tong Yao?"

Listening to Jiang Qingfeng's calls, the inner demon couldn't help but stand up and sneer, to express how stupid Jiang Qingfeng's useless efforts were.

The kind soul that was about to be completely refined by it was just a channel for transmitting power. How could a lowly mortal actually dare to talk to an object?

If nothing had gone wrong with the Evil Spirit King Xiaoyu, how could it be so powerless in the face of this woman?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and the louder the demon in my heart snorted.

Chaoge's cold gaze suddenly shifted to the inner demon that made the noise.

Inner Demon: “…”

Clever.

Quiet.

A good demon will not suffer a loss in front of him!!!

Chaoge had no expression on his face. He directly extracted most of the purified power of the inner demon and injected it into Tong Yao's body.

The nourished soul suddenly moved slightly.

The jet-black hair fluttered in the night wind, and the pale girl opened her dead eyes.

"Tong Yao!" Jiang Qingfeng forced a smile and lowered his voice, "Are you okay?"

Tong Yao maintained the same movement as at the beginning, her expression calm, like a statue.

Jiang Qingfeng had no choice but to look at Chaoge and Ji Heyi for help.

Without waiting for Chaoge to speak, Ji Heyi sighed, "Let me do it."

He approached Tong Yao, observed her carefully for a moment, suddenly raised his eyebrows, whispered something in her ear, and then quickly stepped away.

It was visible to the naked eye that Tong Yao, who was originally like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly blinked her eyes, and her numb and lifeless pupils fell on Jiang Qingfeng.

Jiang Qingfeng: "Eh???"

After giving her an admiring look, Jiang Qingfeng quickly asked, "Tong Yao, are you okay? Do you remember who I am?"

There was a ripple in Tong Yao's eyes and she took a step back.

Seeing her move, Jiang Qingfeng immediately signaled, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the bad guy who hurt you has been caught!"

The girl glanced at the inner demon who was now as quiet as a chicken. After being stunned for a second, she lowered her head and still said nothing.

In the silence, Ji Heyi spoke.

"You said nothing, and kept the truth to yourself," Ji Heyi said calmly, as if they were just chatting. "The people who love you are puzzled by your broken body, and the fool who came to help you with all his heart falls into crisis again and again..."

Fool Jiang Qingfeng: “???”

Ji Heyi's eyes were empty, as if he had no emotions, and it seemed like he didn't understand Tong Yao's behavior at all.

"It has come to this, and you are still immersed in your own emotions, self-righteously concealing it, pretending to be a great sacrifice. Are you still sighing in your heart that you are really a hero?"

The content of these words was harsh and ironic, but because Ji Heyi's expression was so calm and composed, it was difficult to tell whether he was being sarcastic or stating facts.

Jiang Qingfeng almost dropped his jaw in shock, and everyone's eyes fell on Ji Heyi.

After spending an evening together, I didn't expect that you would be such a sharp-tongued person!

Tong Yao, who had her head lowered, had red eyes, and almost instantly, glaring bloodstains slid down from the corners of her eyes.

She cried silently, her lips opening and closing, trying to make some sound.

"I…I didn't…didn't."

No, she didn't mean to hide it.

The world had long been distorted in her eyes, and she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

I don’t know whether the person in front of me is good or bad, and I don’t know whether I am in the real world or an illusion that is exactly the same as reality.

Blood and tears fell in large drops, and the world before her eyes was covered with a layer of bright red mist. Tong Yao's voice was so low that she almost murmured, "I... can't tell..."

My mind seemed to be swept by a storm, and all my clarity and rationality were gone, leaving only endless emptiness and numbness.

She curled up again, hugged her legs tightly, and tried to hide herself.

"She's in this state, there's no way she can tell the truth." Ji Heyi turned his head to look at Jiang Qingfeng beside him. This kind-hearted fool squad leader was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Really...

Ji Heyi seemed to be thinking about something.

They are not familiar with each other, but they are willing to risk their lives to find out the truth. Is there such a kind of feeling between people?

Just as he was thinking about the "truth", his palms suddenly felt cold.

When she turned around, she met Chaoge's eyes behind the white veil.

"Try this."

She had been silent just now because she was constantly searching for a useful magic weapon in her huge space.

There were so many things that it took me a long time to find this bead.

"I think it's called the Dream Pearl, I can't remember clearly. It can restore Tong Yao's sanity." Chaoge explained.

During those years, she went crazy from time to time. In order to save her life, many people, known or unknown, would offer her treasures.

This bead was the one she had casually thrown into the space before.

Ji Heyi looked at the colorful beads in his hand and suddenly asked, "Is there a limit to the number of times it can be used?"

If I can only use it once... I feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Chaoge thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I forgot."

Everyone: "..."

"Don't worry about it," seeing Ji Heyi was stunned and didn't move, Chaoge added, "I have a lot more."

Ji Heyi touched his chest, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and two words popped up in his mind - cute!

He coughed softly, pulled out a piece of talisman paper and was about to gather his spiritual power when his hand was grabbed by someone.

Chaoge was half hugging him, almost sticking to Ji Heyi's back.

"It's not a big problem that the body can't absorb spiritual energy," Chao Ge said in a low voice in his ear, "Fundamentally speaking, so-called cultivation is about how to use spiritual energy."

"If the meridians cannot store spiritual energy, then learning to control them can achieve the same effect."

The two hands were folded together, with coldness and warmth combining together.

"Perception." Chaoge's fingers passed across Ji Heyi's palm, and bits of golden light suddenly gathered and flew around his hand.
