Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Yuwen Bao, just say it, what exactly do you want?" Looking at Yuwen Bao blocking her path, Wen Ying's tone couldn't help but turn icy.

Wen Ying had known Yuwen Bao for many years. Both of them were servants of the 'Mystic Yin Immortal,' and they knew each other inside and out. Therefore, Wen Ying knew that Yuwen Bao's reason for stopping her must be for some scheme.

"Straightforward, truly straightforward, Wen Ying, you really do understand me!" Hearing Wen Ying's words, Yuwen Bao grinned, then said, "Wen Ying, my dear sister, you are indeed as straightforward as ever. We've worked together for so long, knowing each other inside and out. I know I can't hide anything from you, so I'll just be direct. As long as you hand over that thing to me, I'll consider letting you and this pretty boy in your arms live. How about it?"

As he spoke, Yuwen Bao glanced with slight contempt at Ling Zizhe, who was heavily injured, but quickly turned back to Wen Ying, his eyes full of anticipation.

Hearing his words, Wen Ying's heart jolted, her eyes flickered, and she pretended to be confused, "Yuwen Bao, what do you mean? I don't understand! What do you want me to take out?"

"Heh heh, Wen Ying, my dear sister, let's not play these empty games between us. You can't hide it. Back then, when you sneaked into the master's treasury, besides taking away your natal soul, didn't you also pilfer some of the master's collected treasures?" As he said this, a strange smile appeared on Yuwen Bao's face.

Seeing this, the fear finally showed on Wen Ying's originally calm expression. She knew that she probably couldn't hide it any longer.

Watching Wen Ying's rapidly changing expression, Yuwen Bao became even more excited, sneering, "Actually, the master has said to me more than once that you have been very diligent in your work over the years. He even considered returning your natal soul to you, allowing you to regain your freedom. Whether you choose to leave or stay at that time, he wouldn't force you.

Saying this, Yuwen Bao couldn't help but give Wen Ying an extremely greedy sneer.

His sharp gaze seemed to want to see through Wen Ying's body.

Yuwen Bao guessed correctly. Back then, when Wen Ying went to the 'Mystic Yin Immortal's' treasury to retrieve her plundered natal soul, because she was indignant, she stole several treasures from the many magical artifacts that the 'Mystic Yin Immortal' had spent many years collecting, as a reward for her many years of service to the 'Mystic Yin Immortal.' She hadn't even mentioned this to Ling Zizhe.

Therefore, when Ling Zizhe heard Yuwen Bao's words at this time, and then looked at Wen Ying's blushing face, he immediately guessed seven or eight parts of the truth and couldn't help but sigh, "Wen Ying, haven't I advised you to turn over a new leaf long ago, and you also promised me? But why are you still doing such thieving deeds?"

Ling Zizhe had been fond of upholding justice since he was a child and had extremely high moral character, being called a model of a generation's gentleman. Wen Ying had initially been attracted to the aura of righteousness in him, which made her yearn for him.

Therefore, when Ling Zizhe heard that Wen Ying had once again engaged in such deceitful and swindling acts, he felt angry. Originally seriously injured, he couldn't help but cough violently again.

Seeing this, Wen Ying became anxious and hurriedly patted Ling Zizhe's back to make him feel better, but she didn't say anything, as if she had tacitly acknowledged the matter.

Seeing this scene, Yuwen Bao couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Pretty boy, there are many more things you don't know. The sins this bitch has committed in her life are probably impossible to repay in ten lifetimes. If you marry her, you'll probably have to go to hell with her after death! Hahahaha..."

Yuwen Bao had worked with Wen Ying for many years, so he naturally knew how much blood debt Wen Ying carried on her body. Seeing Ling Zizhe's righteous appearance at this time, he couldn't help but feel that these two, one righteous and one evil, were a perfect match, and he felt incredibly amused.

Hearing these venomous words, Wen Ying's face changed again, and she said angrily, "Yuwen Bao, how dare you say that? Believe it or not, I..."

"Alright, Wen Ying, you don't need to waste words with this kind of person." At this moment, Ling Zizhe covered his injured chest and stood up, walked to Wen Ying's side, and said softly, "I told you before that I would spend a lifetime with you to wash away the sins of this life. If it's not enough, then add the next life, the next next life... You won't leave, and I won't abandon you!"

Hearing Ling Zizhe's incomparably gentle words, Wen Ying was deeply moved as if her heart had been pierced. Unconsciously, her face was already covered with two lines of tears.

However, Yuwen Bao, who was on the side, felt like vomiting when he saw the two of them like this, and said unhappily, "Enough, I don't have time to watch you lovebirds putting on an act! Wen Ying, I know you took a lot of good treasures from the master when you left. As long as you are willing to hand them over, then I will spare your lives and let you take your pretty boy away. But if you don't hand them over, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

Yuwen Bao finally issued his final notice.

In fact, the reason he deliberately didn't kill Wen Ying and the others first, but drove them here, was because this place was already far away from the 'Mystic Yin Immortal's' spiritual awareness coverage area.

So even if Yuwen Bao killed people and seized treasures here, the 'Mystic Yin Immortal' would not know.

Thinking of this, a smug sneer immediately rose in Yuwen Bao's heart. He was simply proud of his wit.

Hearing Yuwen Bao's notice, a look of hesitation couldn't help but appear on Wen Ying's face.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough cough..."

Just as Wen Ying was hesitating, Ling Zizhe, who was on the side, coughed violently. He was tottering, probably unable to hold on any longer.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ying couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She knew that Ling Zizhe was seriously injured and could no longer withstand the desperate escape.

Looking at the extremely weak Ling Zizhe, Wen Ying finally made up her mind. She planned to hand over the magical artifacts she had stolen from the 'Mystic Yin Immortal.'

Sighing helplessly, Wen Ying waved her left hand, and a black wooden box sealed with a yellow talisman appeared in her hand.

Seeing this box, the greed in Yuwen Bao's eyes became even stronger. With a strange smile, he was about to reach out to take it.

But just as his hand had only stretched out halfway, a burst of 'rumbling' sound suddenly came from a distance. Yuwen Bao was startled and couldn't help but look up.

However, as soon as he glanced at it, the look of surprise in his eyes quickly transformed into a thick fear! His body couldn't help but tremble!
