Hearing Ma Xiaotong's voice, Zhang Feng's eyes instantly became serious. He grabbed Ma Xiaotong's hand and said:

"What's wrong?"

"Have you found that scum?"

The only one who could make Ma Xiaotong so nervous and anxious was probably none other than the Evil Cultivator with a cross tattoo on his hand.

However, Ma Xiaotong shook her head at Zhang Feng and said:

"No."

"No?"

Zhang Feng was stunned: "Then what's going on?"

In Zhang Feng's puzzled gaze,

Ma Xiaotong raised her hand and brought her pale wrist in front of Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng took a glance, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is..."

He quickly reached out and grabbed Ma Xiaotong's wrist.

A wrist that should have been all pale white now seemed to have a kind of light pink spot.

Moreover!

The feeling of her arm under his grip, the muscle and skin tissue wasn't as tight as before; it even felt a bit saggy!

Ma Xiaotong nodded at Zhang Feng and said in a panicked voice:

"My body... seems like it's starting to decay..."

That's right...

A body will inevitably decay.

Even if it's kept frozen, the same situation will occur, just at a slower rate.

This is also one of the main reasons why malicious spirits harm people.

Because only when a malicious spirit's cultivation reaches a certain level can they ensure that the body they possess can exist longer in this world.

If not, these malicious spirits have to quickly find a new body before their current one decays for possession.

But this body belongs to Ma Xiaotong herself!

Ma Xiaotong would never abandon her own body!

Zhang Feng's brows slowly furrowed:

"This is bad...."

"How could I have forgotten about this!"

Actually, Zhang Feng shouldn't have forgotten these things.

But last night's various bizarre magical operations by Ma Xiaotong had made his mind a mess.

Now, this was indeed a critical problem.

He hadn't even brought Ma Xiaotong to find that Evil Cultivator, and Ma Xiaotong had already started decaying.

If he took the pale Ma Xiaotong around, he could still explain, but if it was a decaying corpse, it'd be over.

There's no way he could really find a new body for Ma Xiaotong, is there?

It's not impossible; maybe he could unlock all skins...

Ahem!

This is definitely not what Zhang Feng was thinking.

He frowned and asked Ma Xiaotong in a low voice:

"With your current cultivation, how long can you hold on?"

Ma Xiaotong replied without hesitation:

"At most, by this afternoon, I'll start to smell..."

"What?!"

That's not acceptable!

Now, even Zhang Feng was a bit anxious.

"You need to absorb the Yang Qi of a living person and convert it into the Yin Qi you need to stabilize this situation, right?"

Ma Xiaotong nodded: "Yes!"

He couldn't let Ma Xiaotong harm other innocent people, so it had to be him!

With this in mind, Zhang Feng heroically raised his hand and said to Ma Xiaotong:

"Alright, I'll transfer some of my Qi to you, and you focus on absorbing it."

Zhang Feng's powers hadn't fully recovered yet.

So, giving his Qi to Ma Xiaotong would undoubtedly bring unimaginable depletion to himself.

He might even enter a weakened state.

But at this point, what's the point of thinking about it?

He can't let Shen Xing'er wake up to find her sister decayed!

That's not acceptable.

However.

With a "snap," Ma Xiaotong grabbed Zhang Feng's big hand.

In his puzzled gaze, Ma Xiaotong said:

"Actually, Brother Zhang Feng, I have another win-win method that could reduce your consumption and help me stabilize my body."

Zhang Feng paused.

There's such a method?

As the heir to the Celestial Master, how come he didn't know?

"What method?"

Zhang Feng was a bit expectant, hoping to learn new knowledge!

But in the next moment.

Ma Xiaotong once again tied up her long hair.

Zhang Feng's eyes instantly shrunk:

"You... what are you doing?!"

"It's just as you think!" Ma Xiaotong said it as if it were justified!

"No, you..." Zhang Feng was about to stop her.

But Ma Xiaotong didn't give Zhang Feng any chance, quickly saying:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang Feng, I tried it last night, and there's no problem with this method!"

"Brother Zhang Feng, you don't want Sister-in-law to know I'm a corpse, right?"

"And I'm quite hungry, too."

"Noooo!!!"

In Zhang Feng's "extremely unwilling" howl.

He was pressed tightly against the bedroom door by Ma Xiaotong.

"Xing'er is still sleeping inside!"

"Mmmm—"

Enough.

Ma Xiaotong wouldn't answer his questions anymore.

Zhang Feng could only close his eyes "in despair."

As time passed....

Shen Xing'er woke up.

Seeing Zhang Feng not by her side, Shen Xing'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, got out of bed, and murmured:

"Where did Brother Zhang Feng go?"

This murmur made Zhang Feng's eyes instantly open wide at the door.

Looking down, it was too late.

With a "snap," he tightly grabbed the doorknob. The moment he grabbed the handle, he felt a force emanating from the room.

Fortunately, Shen Xing'er's strength was far less than Zhang Feng's.

Seeing that she couldn't open the door, Shen Xing'er sobered up a bit:

"Huh?"

She tried again.

It still wouldn't budge.

Then Shen Xing'er puzzledly knocked on the door twice and called out:

"Brother Zhang Feng, are you outside?"

Zhang Feng was gritting his teeth at that moment!

His eyes kept flickering, as if saying, can you hurry up a bit?

But Ma Xiaotong couldn't see it at all.

"Ugh..." Zhang Feng could only muster the courage and reply:

"I'm here!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's voice, Ma Xiaotong obviously breathed a sigh of relief, then asked:

"Then why can't this door open?"

"Brother Zhang Feng, are you holding the door?"

"I'm not, it's not me!" Zhang Feng's voice sounded a bit flustered.

"It's because...."

"Yes!"

Zhang Feng's voice seemed a bit urgent:

"It's because the lock is broken, I'm having someone fix it!"

"It'll be fixed soon, don't worry!"

"The lock is broken?" Shen Xing'er slightly curled her lips:

"But I remember, I didn't lock the door last night?"

"I locked it! But it wouldn't open..." Zhang Feng let out an awkward sound again and again.

"You locked it? Then how did you get out?" Why is Shen Xing'er so clever this time?

Little did she know how "miserable" Brother Zhang Feng was at the moment!

"I locked it this morning..."

"You go back to sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's fixed!"

Zhang Feng urged Ma Xiaotong continuously, also urging himself.

No one knew how long had passed!

Finally!

Zhang Feng took several deep breaths to calm his mind.

After confirming that everything around was normal, he turned and opened the door.

Shen Xing'er was right at the door the entire time.

Seeing the door open,

Shen Xing'Er darted out in one swift move, shouting:

"Why did it take so long, over an hour!! I couldn't hold it in anymore!"

Then she rushed into the bathroom.

At this time, um....

Zhang Feng looked at Ma Xiaotong with a face full of resentment.

Meanwhile, the content Ma Xiaotong saw Zhang Feng's look and simply spread her hands, saying:

"Brother, don't look at me like that~"

"I wasn't the one who determined how long it took!"

Zhang Feng: I @#...￥#!

Damn, this was the first time I've been at such a disadvantage!
