Chapter 3105 - 3106: Bai Zeya

Chapter 3105: Chapter 3106: Bai Zeya

After approximately 15 minutes, Zhong Kui’s array was completed, and the snow-white, jade-like tooth within the array had turned to gray, losing its luster.

"It’s done. Bai, you should keep this well. It will recover on its own over time and can ward off evil and misfortune," Zhong Kui said, handing over the jade tooth.

"It’s wasted with me. In your hands, it can serve its greatest purpose," Bai Ruozhu refused to accept it.

Zhong Kui thought for a moment and said, "Bai, you still have dealings with the Western Regions Royal Family. If they refuse to relent, it’s better for you to handle this artifact."

Bai Ruozhu thought this made sense. If she needed to return it eventually, asking Zhong Kui for it again would be awkward.

She didn’t hesitate and stored the jade tooth into her Space.

Unnoticed by her, Xiaohui drifted out from Xiaohei’s head, took a breath towards the jade tooth, and drew away a streak of black Qi, seemingly solidifying its form somewhat.

"Why are you absorbing Demon Qi?" Xiaohei asked.

"That’s not Demon Qi. Absorbed by Bai Zeya, it transforms and can solidify my fragmented soul," replied Xiaohui.

Xiaohei sniffed the air, finding it indeed wasn’t Demon Qi.

Without intending, it had somehow drawn the jade tooth towards itself, which then straightaway drilled into one of its fangs.

Roar! Xiaohei cried out in pain, startling Xiaohui nearby enough to shiver.

"What happened to you?"

Xiaohei was in too much pain to respond, only suppressing its cries, lying on the ground emitting weak low growls.

After approximately 15 minutes, Xiaohei’s low growls ceased. It rose from the ground and bared its teeth at Xiaohui, revealing a long fang that was incredibly white as jade, gleaming with an eerie cold light.

"Wow, you’ve become formidable. There’s nothing you can’t bite through now, is there?" Xiaohui asked enviously.

Xiaohei shook its head, "It’s a pity there’s only one side, another one would be perfect."

"You’re not satisfied with just one? This one alone is hard enough to find," Xiaohui said disdainfully.

Suddenly, Xiaohei fell silent, realizing it hadn’t consulted its owner before taking the treasure for itself.

However, it honestly hadn’t meant to; it was Bai Zeya who came to find it.

Outside, Bai Ruozhu was unaware of this minor occurrence, while everyone was focused on the Astrologer’s situation. The Demon Qi surrounding the Astrologer had dispersed, and he was slowly regaining consciousness.

"Astrologer, how do you feel?" Ao Song asked nervously.

The Astrologer slowly raised his head, his confused eyes finding focus, "How long was I unconscious?"

"He had lost consciousness earlier, so he thought he’d been asleep the whole time," Zhong Kui explained.

As he raised his head, his left side was exposed, revealing a small area of Demonic Patterns!

"Father, is the Demon Qi not entirely eliminated?" Ao Song asked urgently.

Zhong Kui shook his head, "It’s no longer a threat, but Bai Zeya isn’t all-powerful. It can prevent further demonization but can’t completely purge the Demon Qi, so he must rely on his own efforts thereafter."

The Astrologer took Ao Song’s hand, saying, "It’s my own arrogance in using Demon Qi that caused this trouble, so I should bear the consequences."

"But you did it to save us!" Ao Song exclaimed.

"You’re my wife, your parents are my parents, so saving you all is only natural," the Astrologer smiled. His pale face exuded a sickly beauty, and combined with the Demonic Patterns on one side, lent him a somewhat enchanting allure, even causing Ao Song to blush.
