After transmigrating into the body of the Jade Rat Spirit, I became Nezha's adopted sister.

"Enough talk! Let's go!" Nezha didn't even turn his head, his voice coming through the chaotic fluctuations of demonic energy, "Let's meet up up there!"

Before he finished speaking, he thrust his spear fiercely at the giant eyes. The crimson spear light and the scarlet gaze collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar! The entire underground space began to collapse on a massive scale!

Bai Yeying knew that staying would only be a burden, so she gritted her teeth, turned around, transformed into her original form, and ran frantically along the passage.

Behind them came continuous, deafening crashes and angry roars, shaking the passageway and causing rubble to fall.

She didn't know how long she had been running; her mind was a complete mess, with only one thought remaining: "Get up! Get up quickly!"

Finally, the dim light of day appeared ahead, along with the familiar cliff face outside the cave entrance.

After she crawled out using both her hands and feet, she transformed into human form and discovered that the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) was still wrapped around her waist.

Looking back at the cave entrance, I found that it was completely blocked.

Looking down, the battle in the Black Wind Ridge ruins valley was nearing its end. General Bear and King Yellow Wind seemed to have suffered heavy losses and retreated with their remaining troops. The Dragon King of Azure Wave Pool and the figure in the gray mist had also disappeared. Only a few minor demons were still rummaging through the ruins.

Deeper tremors were emanating from underground, causing a stir among the remaining demons.

Bai Yeying lay on the edge of the cliff, her heart pounding, staring intently at the collapsed cave entrance.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling as long as a year.

Just as she couldn't resist the urge to revert to her original form and dig a hole to go inside,

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a section of the mountain below exploded! A crimson streak of light, like a meteor flying in reverse, shot into the sky, carrying with it scorching air and flying debris!

The red light faded, and Nezha's figure landed steadily on the edge of the cliff. His red robes were stained with some dust and had a few shallow tears. His breathing was slightly unsteady, but his phoenix eyes were still incredibly bright, even carrying a hint of unfulfilled sharpness.

He casually dusted off his sleeves, glanced at Bai Yeying, and frowned habitually: "Didn't I tell you to go up? What are you still standing here for?"

Bai Yeying looked at him, opened her mouth as if to say something, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

The relief of surviving the ordeal, the lingering fear from the terrifying scene, and the indescribable emotions she felt upon seeing him unharmed all mixed together, making her eyes a little sore.

"I...I'm afraid of you..." Her voice was slightly hoarse.

"What are you afraid of?" Nezha interrupted her, his tone still harsh. "That kind of thing can't keep me here."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over her slightly reddened eyes, seemingly a little uncomfortable. He turned his face away to look at the gradually calming ruins below: "I've temporarily driven that thing down there back, but the seal has been broken, and it will come out completely sooner or later. We can't stay here any longer; we have to leave immediately."

He raised his hand to recall the Hun Tian Ling that was still wrapped around Bai Yeying's waist, his movement natural and fluid.

"So what do we do next? Should we just wipe them out completely?" Bai Yeying thought that the thing couldn't be left alive, otherwise it would become a major problem sooner or later.

Nezha didn't seem to care much, and glanced at her disheveled appearance again: "Let's go back to Trapped Sky Mountain first. I will bring heavenly soldiers to surround and wipe out what's down there."

"Mm!" Bai Yeying nodded.

Nezha said no more, his Wind-Fire Wheels swirling with flames beneath his feet: "Let's go."

The crimson light enveloped the two once more, propelling them towards Trapped Sky Mountain, leaving the still turbulent ruins of Black Wind Ridge far behind.

In the night breeze, Bai Yeying quietly raised her eyes, looking at the tall and straight back of the young man in front of her, and the red ribbon fluttering in the wind.

It was already past midnight when we returned to Trapped Sky Mountain.

Nezha landed near the cave entrance and loosened his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon).

Bai Yeying's tense nerves finally relaxed as she stepped onto solid ground. She turned to Nezha and bowed earnestly: "Third Prince, thank you for today."

Nezha glanced at her and saw that her face was covered in dust, her hair was slightly messy, and her usually bright almond eyes were now veiled with weariness.

He looked away, his tone still nonchalant: "What are you thanking me for? It's better for you to avoid causing trouble yourself."

He paused, as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at her tired appearance, he finally said only, "Go and rest." With that, the flames of his Wind and Fire Wheels flickered slightly, and he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Bai Yeying said instinctively.

Nezha paused, turning to look at her.

Bai Yeying hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Um... is that thing underground in the Xuan Yin Sect really alright? Should I...?" She wanted to offer to help, but thinking about her own limited abilities, she swallowed the question back.

"Mind your own business." Nezha interrupted her, his tone devoid of emotion. "If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The Heavenly Court will handle this matter; don't meddle."

These words were blunt, but Bai Yeying felt much more at ease after hearing them. Yes, it was his duty; he knew better than she did what needed to be done.

"Oh," she replied, lowering her head.

A brief silence spread under the moonlight. The night wind rustled through the treetops.

"Um..." Bai Yeying raised her head again, mustered her courage to look at him, her eyes shining brightly in the night, "I...I will work hard to cultivate and not cause you any trouble."

She spoke earnestly, with a fierce determination to win.

Nezha looked at her; the moonlight outlined her earnest face, and the light in her almond-shaped eyes was almost dazzling to him. He turned his face away and hummed in response.

"Good to know." He said this and then disappeared into the night with a flash of crimson light.

Bai Yeying stood there, gazing in the direction he had disappeared. After a long while, she let out a soft breath and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.

Inside the cave, Cuiluo waited anxiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return safely.

Bai Yeying briefly explained the situation, omitting the most dangerous parts, only saying that the treasure hunt would be chaotic, so she returned early.

After washing up, Bai Yeying lay on the familiar stone bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She always felt like she had forgotten something, but what was it?

Wait! Her eyes widened suddenly.

Huang Wu! She forgot about Huang Wu at the Demon Gathering Valley!

The situation was urgent, so Nezha took her and flew away without even thinking that there was a weasel spirit waiting for her!

..................

As night deepened, a cool mountain breeze blew, causing the few tufts of yellow hair on Huang Wu's head to sway wildly.

He squatted by the secluded rocky cliff, hugging his knees, watching his wife and the legendary Third Prince, who could stop children from crying at night, turn into a red light and disappear into the horizon, feeling like crying but having no tears.

"Madam...wife..."

He futilely stretched out his claws towards the already empty night sky, his voice scattering in the wind.

We finally got to see the Lady and the Third Prince, but... that's it?

Huang Wu pouted, feeling utterly wronged. He was Madam's most capable intelligence agent and most loyal follower! Yet Madam had forgotten about him.

The Third Prince was so fast that he disappeared in a flash, and he didn't even have time to shout "Wait for me!"
