I Swear I'll Kill Her, or I'll Fall into the Avici Hell and Never Be Reborn! (Third Update)

Seeing Fang Ningshuang again, Luo Zhou couldn't hold back his sorrow!

Fang Ningshuang hesitated, then said, "You look like you're about to die, you gloomy wretch. I almost want to kill you!"

That was what she said, but she didn't have the slightest killing intent.

In fact, she hadn't shown any killing intent all day.

The day passed peacefully. The Purple Cricket didn't eat.

If the Blood Parrot said it wouldn't eat, then it wouldn't eat.

As they were parting, Luo Zhou suddenly said:

"Let's take a gamble!"

"What for?"

"Our minds are connected. I'll help you bear it all..."

Fang Ningshuang was as if trapped in purgatory, sinking deeper and deeper. At this rate, she was doomed to die!

"Our minds are connected? No way. You really want to sleep with me? And you want me to have your baby?"

Luo Zhou was speechless. "What are you talking about?"

"Will you do it or not?"

"I'm asking you, will you or won't you?"

Fang Ningshuang was silent for a long time. Then she said firmly, "I'm willing!"

With that, she reached out and touched Luo Zhou.

Luo Zhou clasped both her hands. In an instant, it was as if they had merged into one!

Using Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil and Dead Spirit, Luo Zhou fused with Fang Ningshuang!

He had done this countless times before, using it to obtain all the information about the Woodworm Devil.

This time, though, he didn't want to gain anything. He only wanted to share Fang Ningshuang's pain.

If one person's pain was shared between two, perhaps it would lessen a little!

Suddenly, Fang Ningshuang smiled and said:

"So you don't actually like me. We're not going to have a baby!"

Luo Zhou shook his head. "I've never even joined a sect. To you, I'm illiterate.

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

I'm just an orphan. How would I understand all those twists and turns..."

"Does someone who's been caught in the rain hold an umbrella for others?"

At that moment, Fang Ningshuang was perfectly lucid, no longer in that muddled, half-conscious state she'd been in before.

Her madness was gone, along with her innocent nonsense. Instead, she was sharp-minded and utterly calm, with nothing but calculation in her eyes!

This was the real Fang Ningshuang, a heaven-born darling!

Luo Zhou didn't know why this had happened, but seeing Fang Ningshuang like this made him very happy. Sharing the burden had worked!

June 28, sunny!

After sharing the burden yesterday, Luo Zhou had returned to normal too!

There were still five days left, but Luo Zhou wasn't worried in the slightest!

He'd deal with Liu Changlong on the first of next month, then kill the old Crocodile Dragon when it rained!

Even if he died, what was there to fear?

What joy was there in life? What fear was there in death?

He happily went to the garden behind the City Lord's Mansion again.

But he hadn't expected Fang Ningshuang to be waiting there already, standing silently.

"Morning!"

"Morning!"

After greeting her, Luo Zhou was overcome by grief!

Yesterday, the burden-sharing had failed!

Fang Ningshuang had completely fallen apart!

Luo Zhou was only a young boy, foolishly trying to use his supernatural ability to defy the Heavenly Dao.

He had failed.

The only reason Fang Ningshuang had lasted this long was the Heaven-Changing, Fate-Reversing spell Immortal Nan Chun had cast.

What Luo Zhou had done yesterday had disrupted the spell, so Fang Ningshuang was about to collapse and die.

"Luo Zhou, don't be sad. This is a good thing for me," Fang Ningshuang said calmly.

"From yesterday until now, this has been the clearest I've been in three years. This is the real me, Fang Ningshuang!"

"I don't want to go back to that muddled state. I'd rather die!

I've already said goodbye to my family!

Luo Zhou, you young man I once slept with—don't be sad!"

At that, Luo Zhou started crying. Tears streamed down his face, beyond his control.

Fang Ningshuang didn't care in the least. She barked:

"Do it already. Don't hesitate!"

At her words, the Blood Parrot walked out step by step, moving toward Luo Zhou against its will!

"Luo Zhou, kill it! Blow its head off!"

Luo Zhou looked at her, about to speak...

But the Blood Parrot spoke first. "If I die, you'll die too!"

The voice belonged to Immortal Nan Chun, but it was horribly twisted.

The Blood Parrot had been formed from Immortal Nan Chun's Golden Core domain, so of course it sounded that way.

"We'll die together!"

"Luo Zhou, don't disappoint me!"

Fang Ningshuang was utterly calm, resolute, and unshakable!

She said nothing more. She simply acted—strike!

Such an exceptional prodigy, reduced to an outer-sect maidservant after joining the Heaven and Earth Dao Sect?

Luo Zhou let out a long sigh. In an instant, he took up his spear, activated Nine Bulls' Strength, and hurled it...

The Dragon-Slaying Thrust flashed. With a splat, the Blood Parrot's head shattered!

Fang Ningshuang had suppressed its protective true qi, leaving it unable to activate.

But the Blood Parrot's head slowly began to regenerate...

"You think killing me is that easy?

Your father's killed me before, hasn't he? Heh. What good did it do?

I wield the power of heaven and earth..."

Fang Ningshuang looked at it and simply said, "Die!"

A Curse Master! Fang Ningshuang was a Curse Master!

The Blood Parrot froze, then snarled, "Let's die together, you little bitch..."

With a splat, the Blood Parrot turned into countless streams of blood that splattered in every direction.

Fang Ningshuang shook her head. "Then I'll die. So what?"

With that, she slowly lay down.

"You're always making things up. How could that cloud look like a horse?"

Luo Zhou lay down too. "It really does look like a horse!"

"Remember, send me into the cycle of reincarnation..."

"Don't worry. I've sent plenty of people into the cycle of reincarnation. I know what I'm doing..."

"Oh, right. I'm going to kill Immortal Nan Chun."

"Are you crazy? She's a Golden Core True Person. She'd kill you with a single glance..."

"She's greedy at heart. She was only trying it out.

One insignificant decision ruined your life—everything you had. The seventy people who died in Green Ridge City all died because of her!

Maybe she never thought it was a big deal. Maybe she's already forgotten.

But no one gets to hurt others, laugh it off, and pay no price!"

"I swear, if I don't kill her, I'll fall into the Avici Hell and never be reborn!"

Luo Zhou kept talking, though he didn't even know what to say.

Fang Ningshuang made no sound. She couldn't hear him anymore. She had already turned to blood and vanished completely.

After a long while, Luo Zhou stood up and looked at the patch of grass where nothing remained. He staggered home alone.

Back home, Luo Zhou drifted about in a daze, as if he'd lost his soul. As midnight drew near, a clattering din rose from the courtyard.

The drained Dead Spirits had all arrived.

Luo Zhou hurried over. All seventy-one were there!

The first was Fang Ningshuang, smiling at Luo Zhou.

Overcome with excitement, Luo Zhou rushed toward Fang Ningshuang.

But the Dead Spirits blocked his way. One by one, they gently touched him, passing something to him...

Once they had touched him, the Dead Spirits were freed at last, slowly taking on the forms they'd had in life.

All their hideousness and bloodstains were gone. They had become ordinary people again.

They looked at Luo Zhou with gratitude, thanking him, bowing, and paying their respects.

Luo Zhou gritted his teeth and lit three sticks of incense!

"Everyone, it's all over now. Let it go and enter the cycle of reincarnation. May you return to the world of the living soon!"

They all bowed to Luo Zhou, then slowly dispersed, entering the cycle of reincarnation!

Only Fang Ningshuang remained.

Luo Zhou tried to approach her, but he couldn't get close. It was as if a protective barrier surrounded her.

She waved at him, carefree and unrestrained:

"The sect's mark will still be on me after I'm reincarnated. If I'm still human, and still in the Yin Province World, the sect is bound to find me.

When that happens, we'll meet again!"

He couldn't get any closer. All he could do was gaze at her from afar!

Luo Zhou suddenly called out, "Have a safe journey.

When you're reincarnated, I'll treat you to a huge feast. No more Purple Cricket!"

Fang Ningshuang said, "I'm leaving. I hope we can meet again in our next lives!"

If she was still human, and still in the Yin Province World—but what were the odds of that?

Even if they found her, her previous life would be her previous life. She wouldn't remember anything!

Still, Luo Zhou waved as hard as he could:

"May everything go smoothly. Have a safe journey!"

Fang Ningshuang smiled too, but tears glistened at the corners of her eyes as she slowly disappeared.

Luo Zhou kept smiling, but tears streamed down his face. Farewell!

At last, all the Dead Spirits vanished.

Luo Zhou stood motionless. Before long, his supernatural ability, Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, quietly activated!

Luo Zhou, sensing a Dead Spirit's plea for help. A spirit has committed evil. Punish it!

Punish evil: slay the Woodworm Devil, Full Moon Devil, and Blood Parrot. Reward the good!

Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil complete. Reward granted!
