123: Go away, I'm too lazy to teach you!

Under Chu Yuan's command, the three of them were unable to disobey. They formed a defensive triangle, holding daggers and began stabbing each other.

"Ah~"

"It hurts so much~"

"Be gentle!"

"..."

The three of them screamed continuously, wailing non-stop.

Chu Yuan grew annoyed and coldly shouted, "Shut up, no noise allowed."

As soon as he said this, the three instantly fell silent, but the pain on their faces intensified.

Originally, wailing could somewhat distract from the pain, but now... this person was too ruthless.

Purple Rhyme stood trembling to the side, not daring to speak.

More than half an hour later.

The three collapsed to the ground, their soul bodies flickering, showing signs of imminent dissipation.

Chu Yuan's expression slightly chilled. "Purple Rhyme, find a way to help them recover. Before I'm satisfied, these three are not allowed to die."

Purple Rhyme's body stiffened slightly, and she respectfully replied, "Understood!"

When the three Ghost Kings heard this, their soul bodies were even more on the verge of collapse from fright.

That kind of suffering just now was truly unbearable for ghosts; they didn't want to live!

But just as they were about to entertain thoughts of suicide, they instantly rejected them.

However, they clearly knew that the rejection was not their own will... In an instant, the three of them felt their hearts turn to ashes. This time, they had truly encountered a ruthless person.

One of them quickly said, "Sir, sir, I am willing to trick Night Mantis and the other two into coming. Please, sir, grant me a swift death!"

Hearing this, the other two quickly echoed, "Sir, I am willing too!"

"Sir, please give us a chance!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan glanced at the three of them, thoughtfully stroking his chin.

Then, he spoke, "You need to endure this punishment for three more days."

"After three days, you can die whenever Night Mantis and the other two arrive."

Hearing this, the three of them stiffened, then slumped to the ground.

In the end, they still couldn't escape death.

The three exchanged glances, looking at Chu Yuan as if to speak again, but upon seeing Chu Yuan's cold gaze, they instantly fell silent.

"Sir, we understand."

Compared to endlessly enduring this punishment, they could only accept this degree.

They felt that if they said more, the duration might even be extended.

"Alright!"

Chu Yuan said coldly, "You will guard here, not allowed to damage a single blade of grass or tree, execute my orders daily, and repent to them."

With that, Chu Yuan carried Little White and turned to leave, his back looking somewhat forlorn.

Purple Rhyme glanced at the three, warned them in a low voice, then quickly followed.

Returning to Xiao Huang Village.

Chu Yuan tidied up his wooden house and sat in the courtyard with a sorrowful expression.

Little White, in human form, sat beside him, holding his hand and comforting him, "Chu Yuan, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Don't be too sad."

Chu Yuan sighed softly, "It's only because my strength was insufficient that I couldn't change their fate."

"Back then..."

Listening to Chu Yuan's rambling, Little White took a deep breath and comforted him:

"Hearing you say that, it seems the destruction of Xiao Huang Village was inevitable. You just didn't succeed in stopping it. You're already very powerful."

"Is that so?"

Chu Yuan was noncommittal, his gaze drifting into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Purple Rhyme hesitated, then said, "Master, this servant girl is more familiar with Myriad Ghost Cave. Let this servant girl go and capture those two."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan looked up at her, but shook his head and said, "It's not suitable for you to go. Given our current situation, we might not be strong enough to confront Myriad Ghost Cave. Let's wait for this matter."

"If those three can trick Night Mantis and the other two into coming, that would naturally be best."

"If not, we'll figure out a way later, slowly planning our moves."

Hearing this, Purple Rhyme said no more and respectfully retreated to the side.

At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Little White, where did you capture Purple Rhyme and the others?"

Little White blinked, calculated silently for a moment, then said, "About three hundred thousand li to the southwest."

Chu Yuan looked up at Purple Rhyme, who quickly replied, "Master, it was ten thousand li outside Myriad Ghost Cave. I was just about to return then."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Are there any hostile forces in Myriad Ghost Cave that we can exploit?"

Purple Rhyme shook her head. "Master, no. Since a change occurred ten thousand years ago, all Saint Realm experts on Cangyuan Continent have vanished."

"After that, although the four races and Human Race often had friction and casualties, they rarely actively sought trouble."

"There seems to be a certain balance between the two sides, as if they are all waiting for something."

"Therefore, it is impossible to instigate a major war between two forces."

"Moreover, besides Myriad Ghost Cave, Yuheng Divine Continent also has six other forces: one eccentric, two devils, and three demons. The Human Race's Haotian Alliance dares not move, and there is rarely friction between the other forces."

Hearing this explanation, Chu Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking it was a bit difficult to handle.

"Since that's the case, we can only find a way to abduct those two, and then deal with Myriad Ghost Cave later."

Purple Rhyme said no more.

Chu Yuan sighed softly, "If only that Jade-Faced Ghost God could be injured and we happened to encounter him."

"Pfft!"

Little White chuckled, "Chu Yuan, that's a nice wish, but how can a God Realm expert get injured so easily?"

"And, for him to be injured and you just happen to encounter him, isn't that a joke?"

Chu Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile, also thinking he must have been foolish to think that way.

"Chu Yuan, I'm hungry!"

Suddenly, Little White looked up and said sweetly to Chu Yuan.

Hearing this, Chu Yuan raised his hand and patted her head, smiling faintly, "Today's great hero is Little White, you certainly deserve a reward. Wait a moment!"

"Hehe, Chu Yuan, you're the best!"

Little White quickly nodded, her small face full of smiles. What was it about her that was so healing?

Chu Yuan's mood relaxed a little, and he took out some ingredients to prepare dinner.

The dead cannot be brought back to life; the living must eventually continue to live.

Although it was his failure to kill Night Mantis that led to everything later, he had tried his best, hadn't he?

One couldn't always dwell on trivial matters, could they?

Purple Rhyme walked over. "Master, what do you need to do? This servant girl can help you."

Chu Yuan looked up at her and casually asked, "Have you ever cooked?"

Purple Rhyme's pretty face flushed slightly, and she shook her head, "No, but I can learn."

But upon hearing this, Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "Since you haven't cooked before, then just stand aside. I'm too lazy to teach!"

Hearing this, Purple Rhyme's expression stiffened, and she respectfully retreated.

Seeing this, Little White's lips curved slightly, and she gave Purple Rhyme a half-smile.

"Your master, ah, doesn't need help. He's afraid you'll cause more trouble."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and her small face also subtly flushed.

Purple Rhyme lowered her head and remained silent.

Not long after.

Fragrant aromas wafted out, and Little White's big eyes blinked, frantically swallowing saliva.

Beside her, Purple Rhyme was also in a similar state.

She was secretly astonished: "Master's Culinary Skills, they're too good!"

What kind of earthly delicacy was this? It smelled too good!

Chu Yuan's strength was now greater, and his control over the Chi Xiao Spiritual Flame was more skilled, so he stir-fried three dishes simultaneously, and they were all ready at the same time.

He withdrew the flame, plated the dishes, put away the cooking utensils, and brought them to the table.

Taking out two pairs of chopsticks, "Eat quickly!"

Little White was not polite, taking a pair of chopsticks and digging in heartily.

Chu Yuan was about to sit down, but after glancing at Purple Rhyme, he threw out a pair of chopsticks.

"Eat some too."

"Thank you, Master!"

Purple Rhyme had thought there wouldn't be any for her, never expecting happiness to come so suddenly.

Little White looked up at the two of them, said nothing, but simply sped up her eating.
