Chapter 37

Due to extreme fear, He Shuangshuang tightly wrapped her long legs around Ye Bufen's waist, her arms hugging his neck, and buried her head in his chest.

Her eyes were squeezed shut as tightly as possible, not daring to look around even once.

This made Ye Bufen a bit awkward. With such a beautiful woman clinging to him like a koala, in such an ambiguous posture, it would be unnatural for a man to have no thoughts.

"Alright, get down. With you like this, I can't move at all."

"Not getting down, not getting down, it's too scary!"

Ye Bufen had no choice but to cast another spell to close her third eye, then said, "Alright, open your eyes now. You can't see them anymore."

He Shuangshuang slowly opened her eyes. Everything was dark, and she could no longer see those terrifying things, which made her feel a bit better, but she still clung to Ye Bufen.

"Are those monsters still there?"

"They should still be there!"

Ye Bufen said helplessly.

"Then I'm not getting down. It's too scary here. You have to take me away quickly."

At this moment, He Shuangshuang no longer looked like the fierce woman she was before. She was like a frightened little girl, tightly hugging Ye Bufen's neck.

"How can I move with you like this?"

"I don't care. Who made you scare me?"

Seeing that He Shuangshuang refused to let go, Ye Bufen had no choice but to lift her up a bit. The posture was no longer as awkward, and he could finally move his legs.

But then he found a new awkwardness. With her position raised, He Shuangshuang's full, high chest was getting closer to his face.

Not only was the alluring fragrance filling his nostrils, but the captivating view was right in front of him.

Now was not the time to take advantage of the situation. He had to force his gaze away and carry He Shuangshuang like a child, preparing to leave.

Just then, his expression tightened, and he stopped in his tracks.

Not far away, a huge blood-red skull suddenly appeared, floating in the air with countless evil creatures swirling around it, clearly the king of this place.

Compared to the other evil creatures, this one was far too powerful, giving Ye Bufen a sense of oppression.

He Shuangshuang asked in surprise, "Why aren't you moving? Hurry up!"

"Shh, something powerful is coming."

Ye Bufen's true qi

raged within him, driving the yang qi in his body to protect He Shuangshuang as well.

The blood-red skull floated in the air, about the size of a bulldozer, surrounded by countless black mists.

Its two hollow eyes seemed to absorb all light, and its dark mouth looked like a cave, emitting sharp howls.

At this moment, a sharp howl sounded, and the blood-red skull issued an attack order. The surrounding blood mist surged forward like a mad rush, charging at Ye Bufen.

Although these things couldn't break through his protective true qi, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Individually, they posed no threat, but with so many attacking together, the strain on him was significant.

"We can't stay here any longer. We must retreat immediately."

While defending against the attacks of the evil creatures, Ye Bufen quickly retreated toward the entrance of the neighborhood.

The blood-red skull, like a calm commander, did not attack personally but continuously directed the surrounding evil creatures, wearing down Ye Bufen's strength.

"This thing is truly terrifying. It seems to have some intelligence."

Ye Bufen thought to himself that he must break the Yin-Yang Gathering Array here, or else when these evil creatures grow to a certain level, they will bring disaster to the entire Jiangnan City.

He Shuangshuang, nestled in Ye Bufen's arms, felt this was the safest haven compared to the terrifying darkness around her.

Seeing his serious expression, she knew they must have encountered some unknown danger.

As they were almost at the edge of the neighborhood, the blood-red skull, clearly unwilling to let its prey escape, finally launched a personal attack.

With a sharp howl, its body suddenly grew larger, and its dark mouth seemed to have infinite suction, lunging at Ye Bufen and He Shuangshuang.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Bufen's Nine Yang Palm struck out fiercely, the whistling palm wind hitting the blood-red skull.

With a loud thud, the surrounding air trembled violently.

This blood-red skull was clearly far more powerful than the other evil creatures. Although it was pushed back by Ye Bufen's palm, it didn't seem to be seriously injured. It spun around and attacked again.

Under its leadership, the surrounding evil creatures became even more ferocious, charging forward like a tidal wave.

Ye Bufen pushed the blood-red skull back several times, but he could only repel it, not weaken its strength.

Moreover, the yin qi here was too dense, constantly replenishing the blood-red skull's energy while depleting his own.

Now, He Shuangshuang was much calmer and asked, "Are we in big trouble?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll take care of it soon."

Ye Bufen flicked his finger, and a greenish flame flew out.

This was the alchemical fire that could only be used after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Although its main function was to refine pills, it was also a powerful weapon against all evil creatures.

However, condensing the alchemical fire consumed a lot of true essence, so he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

The blood-red skull's large mouth was constantly emitting suction. The alchemical fire was immediately sucked into its mouth.

"Ahh..."

The blood-red skull suddenly let out a painful howl. The black mist surrounding it instantly weakened, and its size shrank by half.

Clearly, this alchemical fire had inflicted significant damage on its core.

Seemingly sensing the power of this person, it dared not continue to tangle and turned to disappear into the darkness.

Ye Bufen sighed in relief. Fortunately, he had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage. If he were still at the Qi Condensation stage, encountering this thing would have been a real problem.

Of course, this was also because he hadn't prepared enough. If he had more talismans and magical artifacts, dealing with this level of evil creature would have been easier.

Without the blood-red skull's interference, he quickly took He Shuangshuang out of the Peach Blossom Paradise neighborhood. Ten minutes later, they were back under the bright streetlights of the city.

Ye Bufen patted He Shuangshuang's elastic back and said, "Miss, we've arrived. You can get down now!"

He Shuangshuang, still a bit nervous, asked, "Are there no more of those things here?"

"No, for now, they can't leave the Peach Blossom Paradise neighborhood too far."

Confirming that they wouldn't encounter those things again, He Shuangshuang jumped down from his arms. After being in his embrace for so long, she felt a bit of lingering attachment.

Thinking about how she had clung to him like a koala, her face turned red.

To ease her embarrassment, she quickly asked, "How did you make that flame just now?"

Ye Bufen said, "It's a spell. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it."

He Shuangshuang asked again, "Can you use spells too? Are you a doctor or a mage?"
