Lin Ziqing's collar was seized directly, leaving his whole body dangling in midair like a salted fish being shaken back and forth.
Though he was already in a ghostly state to begin with...
"Whoa there, look at you... getting worked up again!" Lin Ziqing waved a hand, wearing an expression of complete indifference. "I already told you, what does this have to do with me? Of course they're all dead. They don't even have a chance to reincarnate."
"╮(*╯3╰)╭ Can't be helped. Someone had to make sacrifices. So what if you lost your Dao companion? If you want women, aren't they easy to find anywhere?"
"There are quite a few girls on Immortal Burial Star. If you need—"
The veins on Lin Heng's forehead bulged. "Lin Ziqing, you're courting death!!"
He drew back his right fist and threw a punch, intending to kill Lin Ziqing outright.
"Stop."
At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Lin Heng froze, then abruptly turned around.
Xiao Muyu stood there... no, more accurately, she floated there.
Her entire body was semi-transparent, not much different from Lin Ziqing's.
Fine motes of light continuously peeled away and vanished from around her, like an ice sculpture slowly melting.
"Xiao... Xiao Muyu?"
Lin Heng instinctively released his grip and hurried over.
Lin Ziqing hit the ground with a thud, rubbing his neck and coughing twice. He muttered something under his breath, but no one paid him any attention.
"Y-you're still alive?"
Xiao Muyu floated up to him of her own accord. Her gaze was clear and cool, yet softened by a tenderness he had never seen before.
"Of course. I was never that easy to kill. If you kill Lin Ziqing, then they really won't be coming back!"
"Ah... you mean my Master and the others?"
