"You brat!" Lady Houtu snapped. "Have you forgotten how he hurt Yingning?"
"Hey!" Du Yu laughed awkwardly. "Calm down first, boss. There's more to what happened with Yingning! I'll explain everything once I'm back. For now, let's get Old Zhan ready..."
Lady Houtu snorted impatiently, then turned to Zhan Qisheng. "I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself. If you can't save Xu Xian, I'll make you taste my wrath."
Zhan Qisheng looked at the woman before him in bewilderment. Just who was she?
Before long, Bai Suzhen and Medusa flew back to Hangzhou City. The moment they landed, Bai Suzhen rushed into the Hall of Rejuvenation with the Lingzhi Herb.
"I brought the medicinal herb back!"
Bai Suzhen froze. Besides the monk and Fragrant Girl, there was now a man dressed in black standing before her.
"You are...?"
"Oh, he's a helper I invited," Du Yu said, stepping forward. "Did you get the Lingzhi? Quick, hand it over."
Still doubtful, Bai Suzhen nodded and handed over the Lingzhi Herb she was holding.
"Can my husband really be saved?"
"There shouldn't be a problem." After taking the Lingzhi, Du Yu said to Zhan Qisheng, "Old Zhan, this is the only Lingzhi Immortal Herb we have. Whatever you do, don't botch it."
"I won't," Zhan Qisheng said as he took the Lingzhi. "With the solution the Heavenly Venerable provided, even the most ordinary cultivator would struggle to make a mistake."
"Good." Du Yu nodded, then addressed the others. "Let's step outside first."
"Outside?" Bai Suzhen shook her head. "I won't leave. I want to stay here with my husband."
Du Yu thought for a moment, then said, "That might not be wise. Have you forgotten that you scared him to death?"
"I...?" Bai Suzhen seemed to suddenly remember this as well.
