265: Chapter 265

Iris's eyes welled up with tears as she watched helplessly while her savior's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, yet she could do nothing.

The other nuns huddled together, weeping bitterly, choking back sobs until they nearly fainted.

Xiao Bai also hadn't expected that these fellow Disciples, who had fought each other for a lifetime, would end things by perishing together.

After the Lich King died, the sacrificial cauldron slowly cracked open.

"No, how could this be!"

"The High Priest is the eternal True God; she will not die."

The four great priests refused to accept this fact, and immediately after, their bodies exploded, with black blood constantly gushing out from within.

Subsequently, the fleeing Witch Clan subjects and a large number of poisonous insects rapidly dissolved, and the entire stronghold turned into ruins.

A torrential downpour began under the clear sky, as if intentionally trying to wash away the venom in this area.

A seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky, and all grudges turned to dust.

Gui Jianchou found a stone tablet from somewhere and asked Xiao Bai to come over and take a look.

It was inscribed with the life story of the Lich King in the Ghost Sacrificial Script, which only Gui Jianchou could understand.

More than ten thousand years ago, Abbess Lichi, who had left the Sect in resentment, arrived at the Heavenly Abyss and got lost in the miasma-filled jungle.

She accidentally obtained the sacrificial cauldron left behind by Shebishi, one of the twelve ancient Ancestral Witches.

From it, she forged two sharp daggers, naming them the Calamity of the Lich.

It was precisely because of this sacrificial cauldron that Abbess Lichi, filled with hatred, awakened the corpses sleeping deep underground.

Afterward, she settled down in this jungle and resurrected the Witch Clan using mysterious and unpredictable witchcraft.

"If not for the Divine Nun of the North Sea choosing to perish together, how difficult it would have been to completely eradicate the Lich King."

"Perhaps in another few hundred or thousand years, she would have resurrected again."

The sacrificial cauldron shattered into countless pieces scattered on the ground. Xiao Bai was also very wary of the Witch Clan; if not for Huo Linger's Samadhi True Fire...

...even Xiao Bai would be unable to kill a ten-thousand-year-old corpse demon, let alone the Lich King.

Being able to win but unable to kill is a very painful thing.

After all the fragments of the sacrificial cauldron were collected, Huo Linger used her Samadhi True Fire to completely incinerate them, cutting off any possibility of this evil race resurrecting.

After countless years of evolution, Lichi forcibly resurrected the Witch Clan, which required the flesh and blood of thousands of living beings to nurture, making it even more evil than the Soul-devouring method developed by the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor back then.

Bai Ling looked at Xiao Bai with a reluctant expression.

"Father, can I go with you to train in the outside world? The Elf Kingdom is too comfortable."

"Of course you can, but you must ask your mother's opinion. If she doesn't object, I have no problem with it."

Xiao Bai took out a token: "Take this, and you can contact me at any time."

"You should take the elves back first; let us part ways here."

Bai Ling led the Elf squad in bowing to Xiao Bai: "Goodbye, Captain."

After a simple farewell, Gui Jianchou returned to Ghost Emperor City. Over the past dozen years or so, under his governance, the Ghost Clan had changed its original Cultivation System and no longer needed to devour Souls to increase their Cultivation.

Xiao Bai also specifically asked Huo Linger to select ten Yin-attribute Spiritual Qi beads for Gui Jianchou to take back and absorb slowly, warning him not to be too hasty.

Twelve years ago, Gui Jianchou already possessed the strength of a Peak Level 9 Ghost King.

Now that the Spiritual Qi in the Lower Realm is thin, having abandoned the previous Cultivation System of devouring Souls, his Realm had stagnated.

Coming out with Xiao Bai, he wasn't treated poorly; he was gifted ten Spiritual Qi beads that were more suitable for him to absorb.

As for whether he could elevate his Cultivation to the Emperor Realm, that would depend on his own fortune.

After returning to Pan Si Mountain, under Iris's guidance, Xiao Bai successfully obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pearl.

This was also something the Divine Nun of the North Sea had promised before her death, so the Disciples dared not object.

"By the way, you have been staying in the temple on Pan Si Mountain, which belongs to the territory of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan. Why were you captured by the Lich King?"

Iris recalled carefully in her mind.

"Early in the morning, the Senior Sister received a message from the Abbess, telling her to lead all the Junior Sisters to gather by a lake."

"The Fox Clan guards escorted us to the teleportation array to leave the territory, but when we arrived at the designated location, we were abducted by a cloud of black mist."

As the Marrow Cleansing Pearl left its original position, the entire temple vanished in an instant.

These nuns were homeless and looked at Iris expectantly, wanting to hear her opinion.

Under Xiao Bai's secret instigation, Xiao Dong brought his younger brothers and sisters to the scene, and they all knelt before Iris.

"Please, Mother Empress, return to take charge of the overall situation."

"Your children respectfully welcome Mother Empress home."

Facing her own flesh and blood, Iris was deeply moved, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.

Unable to hide the softest part of her heart, tears streamed down her face.

"You are all good children; please, get up quickly. Mother Empress will go back with you."

Iris chose to return to Pan Si Mountain to continue serving as the Spider Queen, and the dozen or so nuns naturally followed her back.

If they chose to continue Cultivating, Iris would build a temple for them; if they wanted to return to secular life, she would not stop them.

Chapter 357: Spider Queen Obtains Many Children, Much Happiness

Having lost the Divine Nun of the North Sea as their backbone, these nuns were suddenly in disarray; they had suffered much hardship and humiliation among the Human Race.

It was certainly impossible to return, so finally, under Iris's suggestion, they rebuilt a temple on the site of the original nunnery.

All expenses were covered by Pan Si Mountain, and these nuns only needed to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in peace.

After laying down the heavy burden in her heart, Iris's condition was clearly much better than before.

Xiao Bai had spoken to the Little Fairy Doctor in advance, asking her to wait a few days before going to find Bai Su, as she was currently repairing her Meridians and could not be disturbed.

Under the careful planning of Xiao Dong and several younger sisters, Xiao Bai inexplicably found himself in a room with Iris.

Having not spent much time alone for over a dozen years, they were indeed quite estranged and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Dong snuck to the window to eavesdrop, and the other younger brothers and sisters followed suit.

"Shh, don't make a sound! Why are you all here?"

"Brother Dong, Father and Mother should have made up by now, right?"

Xiao Dong frowned slightly: "Not really sure. There isn't any sound inside."

A clattering sound came from inside, and Xiao Bei said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming, that's the sound!"

Creak!

The window slowly opened, and a wooden stick ruthlessly knocked on Xiao Dong and Xiao Bei's heads.

Xiao Bai lightly clapped his hands: "Is this the sound?"

Xiao Dong was petrified on the spot, truly wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Father, I..."

Xiao Bai scolded sternly: "Get out of here! You are all at the grandparent generation now, yet you are still as mischievous as children."

"Father, please forgive me; this was all my idea. I will take them away immediately."

Xiao Bai felt a bit distressed. Just now in the room, he and Iris had stared at each other, neither saying a word, just offering shallow smiles to get by.

In this situation, he really didn't know how to proceed, yet he was embarrassed to let down his children's painstaking efforts, so he could only calm down outside for a while.

Hee hee!

The cheeky voice of the Little Cute Girl System rang out in his mind.

[Ying ying, I'm back.]

Xiao Bai instantly became much more alert and asked hurriedly: "Have you finished giving birth? Logically, it shouldn't be that fast, right?"

[How annoying! I am currently on vacation. The Director just called me and said that the previous 'Spreading Branches and Leaves, Many Children, Much Happiness' System had little effect on you and basically didn't work at all.]

[They want to hear the opinion of you, the host. Option A: Raise your level to Level 4 Emperor Realm as compensation.]

[Option B: Transfer this System to one of your other wives.]

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of Iris, to make up for previous regrets.

He hurriedly answered: "BBB."

"Transfer the Many Children, Much Happiness System to the Spider Queen Iris; she needs this the most right now."

[Are you sure?]

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously: "Certain and sure."

[Alright, then I will call the Director back and convey your wishes to him.]

Little Cutie yawned: [Since getting pregnant, I often feel drowsy and want to sleep every day.]

"Then you should sleep."

This time it was Xiao Bai's turn to proactively close the conversation. Less than three seconds later, Little Cutie forcefully reconnected and scolded him severely.

[Pah, you dead scumbag! I took Human Form for your benefit, and I've been carrying your child for ten months, yet you don't have a single word of concern.]

"Then drink more hot water."

Xiao Bai couldn't wait to enter the room to find Iris, needing to think of a somewhat reasonable method.

He definitely couldn't tell her directly that she possessed the System, especially one as suitable for her as 'Many Children, Much Happiness'.

Just after returning to the room, he felt that something was wrong with Iris; she was like she had taken an aphrodisiac, her whole body burning with unbearable heat.

She was constantly switching between her spider form and human form, dizzying Xiao Bai.

"What's wrong with you?"

Iris could no longer suppress the fire of desire in her heart; her clothes had already been torn open.

"I'm so hot, give it to me quickly."
