Chapter 131: Forging Immortal Bones

“The Deity truly cares for his beloved child.” Liu Hanxi smiled, stopping Bai Lie, who was consumed by sorrow.
“What makes you say that?” Bai Hao actually chuckled.
“A mere ghost of a single person, with the identity of a deity, why should I care? Anyway, within three to five days, someone will catch her and take her to the underworld or disperse her. Why bother using my magic to bring her into the Langxian Realm? Isn't it precisely because this ghost is my son's sweetheart! If she is left outside and hasn't even been seen by her beloved before being dispersed, wouldn't my son be heartbroken?” Liu Hanxi answered.
“I stayed because I found her fun.” Bai Hao glanced around and shook his sleeves, and Ji Ya tumbled out.
“Bai Lie!”
“Xiao Ya!”
The two called each other's names pitifully and rushed forward, but both ended up empty-handed. The scene was enough to break the hearts of those watching.
Liuhanyi and Baihao stepped back and walked to the lake's edge.
“I just want to... see you once, talk to you, and then leave. I won’t drink that soup; I want to remember you, for all eternity, no matter if you are a cat spirit, a feifei, or a divine lord.” Ji Ya smiled, revealing her small tiger tooth.
“Xiao Ya, don’t rush, don’t rush, wait for me, I will walk with you. I won’t drink that soup either; I want to remember you for all generations.” Bai Lie gently opened his mouth and slowly spat out the broken jade beads from his mouth.
Both people standing by the lake were startled, especially Bai Hao. He thought Bai Lie was just speaking in anger; this cat's shattered jade beads were equivalent to celestial bones, and if they were broken, no god could repair them!
This scene once again tore at the wound in Bai Hao's heart. His wife, Bai Lie's mother, misunderstood him as having fallen in love with someone else, and in her heartbreak by the lake, she crushed her shattered jade beads, became a person, drank the soup, and would never remember him for eternity.
At this point, Bai Hao felt disheartened and had no interest in the position of the Holy Sovereign, leading Bai Lie to hide in this place.
At this moment, Bai Lie's posture, his white attire and white hair, were exactly the same as they were at that time.
White Hao leaped in front of White Lie, clutching his shattered jade bead in his hand, already in tears.
“Father, it's useless, it's the same. If you don't return it to me, the bead will leave my body in seven days, and I will also perish; if you return it to me, I will definitely shatter it,” White Lie said with a bitter smile, reaching out towards Ji Ya, even though he couldn't grasp her hand.
```htmlJi Ya stood quietly to the side, watching the person she loved willing to give up his celestial bones; she was already content. Just as Liu Huanxi was also looking at Bai Lie, she stepped back.
A few people smelled the fragrance of the herbs, and now it was Liu Huanxi's turn to be surprised. As she looked around, she heard a soft chant in her ear; Ji Ya was reciting a spell for herself. She had just secretly taken the herbs from her own corpse.```
“Xiao Ya!”
“Knowing your intentions is enough…” Ji Ya smiled happily, just like the first time she had tasted the big pork knuckle he had secretly saved for her.
Liu Hanxi snatched away the herbs she had ignited and recited the Soul Binding Incantation. She crouched down, and several colorful threads emerged from her body, in orange, purple, and blue. These threads flew towards Ji Ya, gently wrapping around her, and the once-faded soul began to regain some color.
```html“Master, please don't…” Ji Ya was pulled down to sit, and the two sat facing each other.
“Is this person also a priestess?!” Bai Hao asked in surprise.
“She's the Sacred Phoenix Priestess,” Bai Lie replied.```
“God Lord, I bind Xiao Ya's soul with my own soul, three lives in total, please think of a solution.” Liu Hanxi said softly.
Bai Lie was also taken aback. At first, he didn't know what kind of magic this was. Hearing Ji Ya chanting the spell, he feared for her soul. Now seeing that Liu Hanxi had pulled her back, he had just breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize it was a soul binding technique.
“So this is all forcing me into a corner!” At this moment, Bai Hao felt that these three might be deliberately digging a pit for him to jump into!
Although he had long ceased to care about matters in the Three Realms, it didn’t mean he was oblivious. This person was not only the Wangfei of Yun but also the Shenhwang Witch. If he didn’t give in today, he would offend the Southern Witch and the Shouxia Temple. He feared he would find himself in turmoil for several hundred years. Not to mention that, with his only son being so desperate for life and death, all he could do was sigh and sigh again.
“Master, let go, if you keep dragging it out, you really will suffer. It's actually quite good for me to be reincarnated with Xiao Ya. Remember to go down and ask them to let us be born closer together, so we can meet earlier.” Bai Lie sat beside Ji Ya.
“Don't worry, the Baihao God Lord definitely has a way.” Liu Hanxi expressed great confidence.
“He won't care. If it weren't for his cold heart, how could my mother have left me when I was still in swaddling clothes?” Bai Lie forced a smile, as he couldn't even remember what his mother looked like, but he had heard about her death.
Bai Hao felt a pang in his heart. He had never mentioned this matter to Bai Lie, nor did he dare to bring up his mother, fearing it would cause him pain, and even more that it would hurt himself. But it was precisely because of this that Bai Lie felt even colder in his heart.
He walked silently into the Yongxu Palace, simply not returning the shattered jade beads to Bai Lie.
“Xiaoya, when the master releases you later, you should go to the underworld first. I've made arrangements; they'll let you wait for me to come. Please be patient and wait for seven days.” Bai Lie didn't tell Ji Ya that he would suffer the torment of bone erosion from the third day until the seventh day.
Ji Ya obediently nodded.
Her soul slowly flew into the air, breaking free from Liu Hanxi's restraint.
Bai Lie thought that Liu Hanxi had finally let her go. But seeing Liu Hanxi's panicked expression, he realized something was wrong.
The two noticed that she wasn’t dispersing as a spirit, but was being drawn back as if by some kind of magic, heading toward her physical body!
Ji Ya seemed to be unaware of what was happening. After all, it was her first time dying, her first time as a soul, and her first time descending to the underworld. Confused by the situation, she remained quiet and well-behaved.
As the two were at a loss for what to do, a swarm of glowing green dots, resembling fireflies, flew out from the Yongxu Hall and all landed on Ji Ya's physical form. Her body became covered with these glowing dots, which connected and expanded, eventually forming patches of green light that completely enveloped her entire body in luminous green.
Ji Ya's soul flew into her body.
The two were astonished, not knowing what had happened.
Suddenly, the fragment of the jade bead from Bai Lie also flew out of the hall and came to him.
“I used the fragments of your mother’s jade bead to forge her immortal bone. Later, I’ll go to find Yao Huang to ask for her immortal registry. After all, she’s my daughter-in-law, and I believe he will still give me this bit of face,” Bai Hao explained everything that happened outside from within the hall.
At this moment, the emerald green on Ji Ya's body was gradually fading, returning to its usual color. Looking at her, the injuries had disappeared, and she had undergone a complete transformation, even her clothes had changed to exquisite fairy garments.
White Lie rushed over and gently called: "Xiaoya, Xiaoya!"
Ji Ya opened her eyes slowly, realizing she was in White Lie's arms. Confused, she reached out to touch his face, feeling the real sensation. Then, she deeply sank into his embrace, and the two finally held each other tightly; at last, they could embrace.
```htmlLiuhanxi let out a heavy sigh of relief. She walked to the front of the hall and bowed deeply once more.
“Thank you, God Lord, for your blessing,” she said.
Bai Lie helped Ji Ya up and also came to Liuhanxi's side, bowing and saying, “Thank you, Father Lord, for your blessing.”```
“In the future, I will also bow to the two gods!” Liu Hanxi joked.
Seeing the two holding hands and smiling at each other, she suddenly missed Hua Qingkong very much, really very much.
