Hearing Lei Youting face life and death so calmly, Pei Yan sighed helplessly and sat cross-legged in front of her. Seeing this, Lei Youting continued to ask, "Tell me, how much longer can I survive?"

"Three days, your soul can last at most for three more days." Pei Yan lowered his head and after pondering for a long time, spoke with difficulty.

"Almost as I expected. Actually, if you hadn't come this time, I would have been at my end soon. It's a bit of solace amidst misfortune to see someone from my hometown before I die." Lei Youting paused here, finally lifted her head to look at Pei Yan, and quietly probed, "Is there really no way for me to live?"

This time, it was Lin Junzhao within Pei Yan who spoke, using Pei Yan's hand to touch Moira's hair, regretting, "It's too late, the ultimate goal pursued by most cultivators in various major planes is immortality, but the hurdle they can't overcome is the erosion of time on the soul. Even if we directly interfere with our original bodies, it's a very thorny issue. You've suffered a lot over the years. That Vlad II had always wanted to completely take over this body and wanted your abilities, so he eroded your soul bit by bit. Now, your soul is already in pieces. If we had rescued you a year earlier, you could have lived for two or three more years." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Damn it!" Pei Yan, regaining control of his body, punched the ground, uttering a muffled sound, remorsefully saying, "When I first knew who you were, I should have forsaken all considerations and torn faces with the Magic Realm to rescue you. But a delay of half a year...'

"What good is rescuing me? It would have just let me live one or two more years in pain." Lei Youting leaned back against the wall dejectedly, watching Pei Yan smile and say, "Did you really keep your promise to me, eliminating the murderer of my father?"

"Dead, if you want to see, I still have pictures of his corpse." Pei Yan nodded in response when she brought this up.

"I believe you. Did he die painfully?" The look of helplessness in Lei Youting's eyes had fully retreated, leaving only anger and hatred.

"Painfully, I used a mechanical insect to attack his heart, and he eventually died of heartache," Pei Yan replied truthfully.

"Lucky for him." Lei Youting then stared into Pei Yan's eyes asking, "Since I was abducted by the Vlad family, Vlad II's soul invaded my body. They collaborated with Shen Yu, attempting to combine the power of the Blood Race with the physical abilities of a psychic and a witch's magic power, to see what effect it would produce. He almost succeeded. Once he completely devoured my soul, he could freely utilize a psychic's powers."

At this point, Lei Youting's expression became serious, and she spoke word by word, "Although he suppressed and sealed my soul, preventing me from accessing information from the outside world, we are, after all, two souls in the same body, allowing me to perceive some external information. I know he holds a grudge against you—you can help me fulfill one wish?"

"Kill him! Kill everyone in his family, let the curse placed upon me by this devil's family rebound on his family, sparing none!" Previously serene Lei Youting used Moira's body, sitting upright and tightly gripping Pei Yan's wrist in an almost frantic plea.

"Ah! I understand! Not one will escape." Pei Yan gripped the other's wrist in return, solemnly promising, "I assure you, not a single person in the Vlad family, young or old, will be spared. This is your revenge and also the revenge of the inquisitors. I will use blood to warn everyone across all planes: recklessly abusing powers in the cornerstone plane leads to blood for blood repayment."

Seeing Pei Yan make a promise to her as he did when he killed Song Yuanming, the crazed expression on Moira's face gradually faded. Weakly leaning back against the wall, she looked up at the ceiling, gasping, "Good, good, I trust you! I trust you! You know, even if you saved me, I don't want to live. It's too painful! I don't understand what wrongs I or my family committed for this misfortune to befall us. Later, I realized that I wasn't wrong, it was them! Villains do wrong without needing a reason. Pei Yan, I asked you how long I could live not because I have any lingering attachment to this world, but because I'm reluctant to die without witnessing the downfall of that family with my own eyes."

"Perhaps I can help you hold on until the day of revenge." Hearing Lei Youting say so, Pei Yan also sighed for this girl's tragic fate. Amidst his sorrow and wandering thoughts, Pei Yan suddenly recalled something, stood up abruptly without bidding farewell to anyone in the room, and hurriedly ran out of the underground chamber, leaving everyone in the room puzzled, looking at each other, clueless.

Pei Yan, instantly teleporting his way out of Yirong Pavilion, burst into the demon race's camp, acutely sensing the location of the Demon God. Amidst the flabbergasted gazes of the multitude of demon race guards, he kicked open a door and rushed inside.

By the time the guards outside reacted and rushed in to stop him, they were halted by a cold shout from the Demon God inside the room, "Stand down, this matter does not concern you."

Pei Yan didn't even glance at the retreating guards flowing away like a tide. In front of him, a graceful Demon God possessing a scholar's body, was currently bowing and holding the hand of a palace-dressed beauty, sketching a lotus on Xuan paper. Witnessing this scene, Pei Yan couldn't help but marvel, not falling short of what Lin Junzhao described as a libertine. Previously, seeing him so attached to his deceased wife's relics, Pei Yan thought him deeply affectionate, yet now upon just entering the Daoist Realm, he eagerly unmasked his true nature.

Ignoring Pei Yan who stood entrenched with criticisms, the Demon God at this moment seemed in high spirits, indulging in the warmth of the beauty leaning into his embrace, impatiently addressing Pei Yan, "What you want is on the table, take it and quickly leave."

Seeing this, Pei Yan walked to the table, picked up the wooden box beside it, opened it, and saw exactly what he desired, laughing cheekily, "How did you know I would come to beg you for this thing?"

"That day on the arena, seeing Moira split into two souls, upon noting that little girl's soul state, I speculated. What foundations your cornerstone plane has are unknown to me. Thinking and thinking, in the end, you would have to come to me to find this item. Calculating your awakening time, it was about that time, so I went to the Holy Hall to fetch it for you. Well, you've got what you wanted, leave now."

"Okay, just please don't sprout an heir of a king's comeback illegitimately for yourself, I am leaving now!" After finishing speaking, without caring about the Demon God's irate expression or the blush covering the palace-dressed beauty's face, Pei Yan mischievously darted out of the pavilion and in a flash was back at Yirong Pavilion.

"Whew, hopefully, this thing might be useful to you."
