Liao Zhong gripped her hand tightly, seemingly reluctant to recall previous events, and said in a suppressed tone: “That old woman just knows how to torture me, she’s simply a devil. I can’t deal with her. Let’s go, quickly, if she comes back we’ll be completely done for!”
Liao Zhong was gripping too tightly. Although they were soul bodies, Xie Hua inexplicably felt a sticky sensation on her hand. If Luo Mingbai hadn’t repeatedly warned her not to let go, she would have wanted to wipe it off.
She said, “I heard everything earlier. Your wife has waited for you for so many years, and her difficult life making her irritable and aged is quite normal.”
Liao Zhong impatiently said, “Can I be blamed for that? It’s not like I deliberately made her wait! Besides, you’ve also waited for me for many years, and you haven’t said anything!”
Xie Hua stared at him in disbelief. Liao Zhong might have realized his tone was too harsh, cleared his throat, and softened his voice: “Anyway, I know you’re kind. I was wrong before, momentarily lost my mind. I’ll treat you well in the future. Don’t worry about past events. Let’s go quickly.”
Xie Hua took two deep breaths, telling herself to stay calm. At this moment, she heard a voice softly ask near her ear: “Is it okay?”
Though there was clearly no one else around, the voice was gentle and warm, as if right beside her – it was Luo Mingbai’s voice. Xie Hua’s mood immediately calmed, and she answered: “Okay.”
A red path suddenly reappeared before her, tilting straight to the sky. Luo Mingbai said, “Then quickly walk along the path, don’t look back, don’t pay attention to the sides. Come back first if anything happens.”
Hearing “come back first,” Xie Hua’s nose suddenly felt sour, and she responded with a choked “hmm,” grabbing Liao Zhong and running along the path.
Liao Zhong ran with her, and they soon understood why Luo Mingbai had told them not to look at the sides.
The Yin-Yang realm is a completely ethereal world, mainly supported by consciousness. Leaving the path is like shedding everything in this world and being reborn. Any hesitation would increase the weight of Liao Zhong’s soul and slow their steps.
