"Although this Lamp Wick might help someone hang on for a while, once the energy contained inside is depleted or the wick is pulled out, that person will immediately stop breathing."
"However, you can't just remove the Lamp Wick whenever you want. Once it's been taken out even once, it basically ruins the Ghost-Sucking Lamp's path to evolution. Removing the wick causes permanent damage to its foundation."
Qiao Sang froze for a moment. "Didn't you say earlier that a Ghost-Sucking Lamp without its wick was like a person without a heart and would die immediately? You also said the human body wouldn't be able to take it."
Liu Yao: "..."
"It will die, and the human body indeed won't be able to endure it. It's just a matter of sooner or later," Liu Yao said, forcefully trying to save face.
Qiao Sang didn't question it further and asked, "Then how long can the Lamp Wick stay inside a human body at most?"
Seeing that Qiao Sang wasn't dwelling on the matter, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone relaxed. "Probably around three days."

Based on when the Ghost-Sucking Lamp had disappeared, it had clearly been more than half a month...
"What if the Lamp Wick has stayed inside a human body for around half a month?" Qiao Sang asked after thinking for a moment.
Liu Yao fell silent before answering, "That should be impossible. After three days without replenishment, the Lamp Wick's energy will run out. Once it stops working inside the human body, the person will die on the spot."
"And without its Lamp Wick, the Ghost-Sucking Lamp won't be able to replenish its internal energy and will soon be unable to hold on either."
