"Nangong Yi, you should go and sleep somewhere else—it wouldn’t look good if rumors spread that you’re sleeping at my place!"
Nangong Yi glanced at her, saying lazily, "It’s not the first time. When did you start to care about such trivial formalities?"
His blunt words made Cai Wei blush. She guiltily peeked at Manager Li, getting angry when she realized that he looked indifferent.
Manager Li must have known about the times Nangong Yi had secretly stayed in her boudoir. Otherwise, he would have shown some surprise at Nangong Yi’s words. She had no time to settle scores with him now since Tianjizi was coming. However, after resolving the matter with Tianjizi, she swore to hold him accountable!
Without waiting for Cai Wei’s response, Nangong Yi strode towards the Eastern Room, saying as he went, "We each have a room, if there’s anything wrong, just shout out and I’ll come immediately!"
He moved in assertively, and, due to the imminent threat, Cai Wei had no time to dispute over trivial matters and let him be.
Once Manager Li left, she returned to her room, closed the door and impatiently ran into the Space to seek help from the Divine Beasts.
After explaining her intentions, the three Divine Beasts pondered but none knew Tianjizi’s weakness.
Chang Mei said: "Tianjizi once stole Cihai Zhenren’s Immortal Pill. After the theft was discovered, he cleaned house in a fit of rage. However, after Zhenren ascended to immortality, he reappeared in the Jianghu. This shows he faked his death to deceive Cihai Zhenren. If he can deceive an immortal, it shows how cunning he is. Discovering his weakness won’t be easy."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei’s face fell, and she despondently said, "Does heaven want to destroy me?"
The Great Immortal Turtle calmly said: "Master, you shouldn’t be upset. During your showdown with Tianjizi, you can use your thoughts to draw on the spiritual power of Space to assist you. The fairy spirit’s Qi in the Space will counteract his evil Qi, you won’t lose."
Overjoyed, Cai Wei realized that Space had brought her more and more surprises. If she could use the power of Space to confront Tianjizi, there was no reason why she would lose!
"When Tianjizi comes, I must summon me. I want to fulfill Cihai Zhenren’s heart’s desire, eliminate Tianjizi and clean up the house for the immortal!"
Cai Wei glanced at the white-haired tiger and said, "Don’t worry, even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have asked for your help."
Chang Mei made a squeaking sound and closed his fist the size of an egg a few times: "I want to crush that traitor who betrayed his master and exterminated his ancestors!"
It was getting late. Cai Wei slept in the real person’s bedroom and inspected her Three-Eighth Covers before bed. She also examined the treasure sword she had won before sleeping peacefully.
The time in the Space was three times longer than outside. She slept for eight or nine Shi Chen, which was only three hours outside.
After a good sleep, she flashed out of the Space and returned to the kang, waiting for Tianjizi’s arrival.
Time passed bit by bit. The night grew darker, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Sitting on the kang, Cai Wei had been waiting for two hours. She began to wonder if Tianjizi would come at all when she suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness.
She couldn’t see in the darkness, but a wave of intense Evil Yin Sipirt’s Qi was circling her house. A cloud seemed to hang over the house, and the dense Evil Yin Spirit’s Qi enveloped the house instantly.
Nangong Yi also sensed the anomaly. He jumped up from his dream and rushed towards Cai Wei’s room.
Cai Wei was standing on the floor with a beautiful cold shining sword appearing suddenly in her hand.
"Don’t be afraid!" he said softly to comfort her.
At this moment, Cai Wei felt somewhat moved. The man who still had the patience to comfort her when she was facing a life-and-death situation would not easily be forgotten!
The door opened by itself as though by the wind.
A wave of cold air flooded in, and the room became as cold as an ice cellar. Some items even started to freeze.
Nangong Yi patted Cai Wei’s back, took a step forward, blocking her, pulled out the soft sword around his waist and said sternly, "National Teacher, since you’re here, why not show up?"
A chilling laugh sounded, ghostly, making people’s hair stand on end.
Following the laughter, a black figure floated in from outside and stopped at the entrance. The figure was thin and tall, wearing a gilded mask and a large black robe, covering his body tightly. Only two dry hands were exposed, looking like skinless, fleshless claws, faintly glowing green.
"Miss Cai Wei, you were hard to find!"
The figure said in a ghastly tone, raising a dry hand and motioning to Cai Wei.
Immediately, Cai Wei, as though bound, couldn’t move her body. However, her feet uncontrollably moved towards the entrance...
