The young cultivator swept the young woman into his arms and said:
"Once we get home, I'll arrange our wedding. Then, Xiaohui, you'll be my wife-Sun Xiao's wife."
The young woman hugged the young cultivator tightly and said excitedly:
"Brother Sun!"
At this sight, Ninth Madam suddenly frowned and said:
"Why did Sun Xiao, this Inner Sect Disciple of Fenglei Cave, choose such a sordid way to leave Three Paths Village?"
Heavenly Lord Xuanbei said dismissively:
"As long as he gets out alive."
Ping'an, however, asked in confusion:
"Eloping with a villager of Three Paths Village counts as escaping Three Paths Village?"
Ghost King Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"He can't elope and escape with a villager who has already died in Three Paths Village. If that's all he does, he'll certainly suffer the backlash of Three Paths Village's Netherworld Edict."
Daoist Fengzhu nodded at this and said:
"This lad must have something else in mind."
At these words, Ping'an's heart tightened, and a bad premonition rose within him.
Then, under the three's distant gaze, Sun Xiao of Fenglei Cave fled through the alleys of Three Paths Village toward its outskirts with the villager Xiaohui.
Along the way, Xiaohui helped Sun Xiao evade the villagers' questions several times.
She also helped him find a small path out of the village.
Seeing this, Ninth Madam frowned and said:
"Sun Xiao really did plan this in advance. Without Xiaohui, he wouldn't be able to leave the village at all."
Ping'an frowned and said:
"But he'll definitely have to abandon Sister Xiaohui before leaving the village. Otherwise, he'll suffer the backlash of Three Paths Village's Netherworld Edict."
Old Daoist Huang said thoughtfully:
"If he abandons Xiaohui, she'll very likely turn into an evil ghost and turn on him as well."
