"Senior, there's only one way to lure out this Earth Binding Spirit." As he spoke, a small knife appeared in his hand.

Dong Xiaoxiao frowned. It couldn't be that he wanted to kill her and release Ye Hanyi, right?!

"I really don't know what you're thinking all day. This brat just wants a drop of your blood."

Just as Dong Xiaoxiao was thinking of how to reject the offer, she was met with Ye Hanyi's heartless taunt.

She subconsciously looked at the blade in his hand and asked, "Why does he want my blood?"

Ye Hanyi snorted coldly, "He wants to lure me out."

A drop of blood was enough to draw Ye Hanyi out. Dong Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at first and didn't have the time to ask Ye Hanyi why.

"I need a drop of senior's blood to draw out the Earth Binding Spirit," the Crane Forest explained.

"Why can my blood lead to the Earth Confining Spirit?"

"In principle, senior's blood cannot draw out the Earth Binding Spirit, but senior's soul has something else attached to it. This is the first time that you've come here and the Earth Binding Spirit sensed something that was threatening him, so it attacked you."

Dong Xiaoxiao understood. She needed a primer to let the Earth Confining Spirit know that she was provoking him and make him appear.

Since that was the case, Dong Xiaoxiao had no reason to refuse. She stretched out her hand and the Crane Forest deeply looked at her face. Then, she cleanly cut her finger.

A sharp pain arose as fresh blood gushed out.

Ye Hanyi instantly became on guard. Dong Xiaoxiao felt his movements and suddenly thought, "The one who wants to compete with the Earth Binding Spirit isn't her, but Ye Hanyi!"

She turned her head to look at the Crane Forest, who lowered his head without a word and collected the blood from her finger into a small bottle.

Reaching out to take the tissue from Shuyi Huanhuan, she frowned and said, "Shouldn't a drop of blood be treated with needles? Why do you have to use a knife?"

"I only have a knife in my hand," Lin said without changing his expression.

She originally wanted to say something, but at this moment, Ye Hanyi's slightly nervous voice sounded out, "Be careful, that thing is coming."

The air around her suddenly dropped as if someone had turned the air conditioner down to its lowest level. Dong Xiaoxiao was standing by the wall, but a strong gust of wind blew past her, causing her to sneeze violently.

Crane Lin handed the bottle of blood to Shuyi Huanhuan. "Take good care of it. No matter what happens, don't let go of this bottle."

With that, he rushed towards Dong Xiaoxiao without waiting for her to speak. Dong Xiaoxiao clutched her arms tightly and looked around vigilantly.

Ye Hanyi clenched his teeth and said, "This Crane Forest was too ruthless. Not only will this Earth Binding Spirit attack me, even the slightest carelessness would severely injure your soul."

"Now is not the time to talk about this, what should I do now?!"

It was impossible to not blame the Crane Forest, but the most important thing right now was to remove the Earth Binding Spirit. Otherwise, she and Ye Hanyi would really die together.

"Senior sister, move out of the way!"

While Dong Xiaoxiao was deep in thought, the Crane Forest suddenly rushed out and stuck a talisman in the air. Miraculously, the talisman was like a magic trick, floating in the air without moving at all.

The surroundings returned to silence.

He Lin suddenly turned to her and apologetically said, "I'm sorry senior sister, I was inconsiderate enough to let you be frightened."

Dong Xiaoxiao was scared witless by Crane Lin's apology. For a moment, she thought he really didn't know that Earth Bind Spirit would attack her.

There was a gentle breeze blowing outside the window. Dong Xiaoxiao thought that it was about to end. She let out a sigh of relief and turned around to walk towards the frightened Shuyi Huanhuan.

"Roar!"

"Dong Xiaoxiao, quickly dodge!"

It was too late.

The wind blew away the runes on the Earth Confining Spirit's body. Slowly, a black object appeared in the air. Before anyone could react, the black shadow charged towards Dong Xiao Xiao Xiao.

Another soul entered her body.

Dong Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. Her empty eyes were like a puppet that had lost its consciousness.

At this moment, Ye Hanyi grasped the initiative of his body, and his absent-minded eyes instantly regained their former luster. His eyes narrowed, and he coldly said, "You overestimate yourself."

He closed his eyes and pulled out the black shadow from his mind. He looked coldly at the Crane Forest, and Ye Hanyi picked up the yellow talisman from the ground, placing it mercilessly on top of the shadow's head.

In a split-second, strong gales blew in all directions. The black shadow seemed to have suffered a great deal of pain as it struggled continuously, slowly revealing its original appearance in the air.

"Ye Hanyi, let me out!" Dong Xiaoxiao woke up at this moment and subconsciously fought with Ye Hanyi for the right to use his body.

Not to mention that the Crane Forest was here, even Ye Hanyi's battle with the Earth Confining Spirit had most likely damaged his elemental energy. If the Crane Forest were to make a move again, the consequences could be imagined.

Ye Hanyi wasn't being hypocritical. He readily relinquished the initiative in his body. What happened next, he only needed to quietly watch.

While they were talking, the Earth Binding Spirit slowly revealed itself to be a man.

A man who looked very simple.

A bold idea flashed through Dong Xiao Xiao's mind. She turned her head to look at Shu Yi Huan in surprise.

Shu Yi Huan looked at her for a moment before shifting her gaze. She was obviously shocked. Her mouth trembled as she said, "Father?"

As expected ?

This Earth Binding Spirit was actually the long-lost father of Huanhuan.

After the initial shock, Mother Shu did not have any other reactions. From this, it could be seen that she had long since known of the death of Shu Cheng. However, she had not expected that Shu Cheng would remain here as a vengeful spirit.

"Dad, it's me! "I am Huanhuan!" Shu Yi Huan couldn't hold herself back any longer. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was a ghost, she still threw herself at the side of Shu Cheng without hesitation.

The originally sinister gaze of Shu Cheng was now filled with joy as he watched. The resentment in his surroundings had almost dissipated, and he used a pair of turbid eyes to look at Shu Yi Huan.

The corner of his mouth slightly trembled, "Huan ?" "Huanhuan ?"

Mother Shu was already sobbing.

This sudden, tender scene left Dong Xiaoxiao and Crane Lin at a loss. The two of them looked at each other. Could it be that this was the wish of the Earth Confining Spirit?

Meeting Shuyi Huanhuan?

However, was it really that simple?

For some reason, Dong Xiaoxiao felt uneasy in her heart. She felt that the warmth was one-sided, and that there would be a bloody storm coming after it.

"Who is he?" Ye Hanyi's voice was heavy.

Dong Xiaoxiao was shocked by his tone. "What happened?"

She heard Ye Hanyi's voice change from heavy to angry, and it carried a thick killing intent.

"I'm asking you, who is he?"

"He's Shu Yi Huan's father. It seems like his wish is to see Shu Yi Huan again. We can rest assured now."

Ye Hanyi's expression was as calm as water. Scenes flashed through his mind. He squinted his eyes, ignoring the fact that Dong Xiaoxiao was controlling his body, and began to attack Shucheng frantically.
