trapping me with nowhere to retreat. "You repeatedly refuse to believe what I've said, and you want explanations now""I—""Hmm" he furrowed his brow."...I don't apologize, I did nothing wrong. You did...Whether one is a practitioner of esoteric arts or an ordinary person who does not believe in traditional religions, most have a general understanding of the image of the Black and White Impermanence.

This is the image of a soul-caller most often heard in folk tales. Whenever you hear the words "soul-calling", the image of black and white impermanence will immediately come to mind.

Most of them wore tall hats, their faces were terrifying expressions, and they dragged long tongues like hanged ghosts...

Before I met Bai Wu Chang, my imagined image was similar to this one — because in temples, the images of these deities from the underworld are carved to be terrifying and ugly to evoke fear.

If you were to say that Bai Wuchang was actually charmingly handsome (meaning he had a bit of a bad personality), who would believe it

I've been tricked by Bai Wu Chang quite a few times, and I have a bit of a psychological shadow over him. As soon as I see him squint those phoenix eyes, his thin lips curving into a wicked smile, my heart starts pounding.

"He, he wouldn't hold onto this woman's soul, would he" I nervously grabbed Jiang Qiyun's sleeve.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me: "He knows his limits and will handle things. Let's just wait and see."

“Um, you... do you know something” I found Jiang Qiyun's dismissive attitude rather strange.

In fact, Jiang Qiyun wasn't someone who liked to order others around. Unless it was a particularly special occasion requiring the attendance of deities, big and small, he usually went about his business freely and independently.

When it came to getting things done, it was rare to see Jiang Qiyun simply stand by with his hands in his sleeves, watching the commotion. He was a deity who preferred to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty.

This woman appearing here is definitely not an ordinary case of being lost. If we were to follow Jiang Qiyun's usual style, he might have directly bound the soul and let Bai Wuchang interrogate it.

But at this time, he not only watched the excitement himself but also prevented me from joining in.

I watched from afar, watching Bai Wu Chang, to see how he would toy with this woman who had "stumbled into" his trap.

"...Hee hee hee... Can you see me" Bai Wu Chang's figure was like smoke, languidly leaning against that stone, his tall hat peeking over.

The woman was also terrified, hugging her head and crouching behind the stone. The stone wasn't very big; if she looked up, she could see Bai Wu Chang right in front of her.

They would probably be so scared they'd foam at the mouth, wouldn't they

"Little girl~ what are you doing here in this desolate mountain at three in the morning ~" Bai Wuchang asked with a smile.

The woman buried her head in her knees, sobbing softly: "I... I was just sleeping at home, dreaming of a strange man grabbing me... and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up in pain, I found myself thrown into this cave... there are bones inside... inside..."

"Oh, oh, oh~~ What a pity……what kind of bones are in there~~" Bai Wu Chang said with pity, but his face was full of a relaxed and wicked grin.

The woman suddenly raised her head, her face turned directly toward me. Under the moonlight's frost, I saw a delicate and simple countenance.

In contrast to her facial features, her eyes were striking.

Even in such a disheveled state, her eyes held a glimmer of determination.

"It's human bone, I touched it! I—" She was a little excited, raising her head to look at Bai Wu Chang as she spoke.

The moment she saw Bai Wu Chang, she froze.

I don't know if she was frightened or just dumbfounded, but one thing is certain — she could really see Bai Wu Chang.

Bai Wu Chang's sleeve robe waved, silently and soundlessly floating to the back of the stone. He descended from the sky, hovering right before that woman's eyes.

The fluttering white robes and tall hat gave him a grand and imposing appearance. The air around him seemed to crackle with an eerie energy, making his hair and sleeves dance in the breeze.

I tilted my head slightly, mentally muttering that Bai WuChang's appearance looked like a ghost—even though he was originally a spirit.

The woman looked up at Bai Wu Chang, her face paling and her lips trembling as if she couldn't speak from fear.

Bai Wu Chang seemed quite pleased with her reaction, grinned widely and leaned in slightly, preparing to get closer and continue scaring her.

Suddenly, a faint "tap" came from the mountain crevice. The woman seemed to be stimulated, screaming and jumping up, rushing towards Bai Wu Chang!

Bai Wu Chang was slightly taken aback. He probably hadn't expected this woman to dare approach him.

And strangely, this woman seemed frightened and wanted to hide in Bai Wu Chang's arms, directly rushing into his embrace.

Bai Wu Chang narrowed his eyes, almost imperceptibly raising a hand as if to pull the woman aside.

The result is self-evident.

The woman walked straight through Bai Wu Chang's form, lost her balance and tumbled down. She rolled down the slope of loose stones.

I could not bear it any longer. Ignoring Jiang Qiyun's stop, I quickly ran over and helped the woman up.

"Hey, are you alright!" I held her up with one hand on her shoulder and the other gripping the Zi Xiao Ruyi in my bag.

This woman doesn't seem like a bad person. I didn't feel any malice or evil aura from her.

Bai Wu Chang and Jiang Qi Yun must have already felt it, so they didn't take action against her. Bai Wu Chang even had the leisure to tease her.

Teasing…

I quickly glanced at Bai Wu Chang.

The smile that was always on Qi Ye's face gradually faded. In his slightly narrowed eyes, a cold glint flashed.

Bian Chang's disposition has always been enigmatic and hard to fathom, and his ability to change faces is astonishingly quick.

"I, I'm fine..." The woman cried, clutching my arm like a lifeline. She sobbed, "Someone...someone wants to take me inside..."

"Is anyone here" I looked around, but there was no one else here besides us.

“Woooo……” the woman cried, burying her head in my arm. I looked down and saw that the frayed hem of her torn clothes was snagged on a broken bone. A large centipede quickly crawled out from inside the bone.

"Wow!" I was startled and quickly swatted away the bone. It clattered to the ground, and the centipede swiftly scurried out of the dry grass.

"It's alright, it's alright. It wasn't a person, just a centipede moving its bones. You must have thought someone was grabbing your clothes" I comforted her.

The woman raised her head, crying with tears streaming down her face. She didn't look very old, maybe around twenty years old. Her face was fair and simple; she didn't seem like the type who would be involved in this at all.

"Um... I, can I touch you Why just now… just now it seemed like… I passed through that gentleman…" She looked back at Bai Wu Chang, who had already descended from his hovering position and was walking towards her with an air of composure.

“What’s your name” Bai Wu Chang asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Chen, Chen Ruo," the woman answered honestly.

"Can you see me Aren't you afraid of me" Bai Wuchang smiled and asked in a low voice.

“Well, I… I think I’ve met you before…” Chen said softly.

"Oh Surname...Chen..." Bai Wu Chang touched his chin with a playful interest, grinning mischievously.ce with Jiang Qiyun's robe and carried me away like he was carrying rice.My God..."Bro, you...your shoulders are so hard..." It's hurting my stomach!"Hang in there! I can't carry you over the wall!" M...
