Chu Cha's thin shoulders, wrapped in a loose white dress, trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head, her voice weak and timid.

  "I don't know..."

  A pair of dark, bottomless eyes stared at her, with a bloodthirsty glint in the murky depths.

  Cold sweat soaked through Chu Cha's back, she began to tremble with fear, "Big brother I said...I said it's not enough yet..."

  "Spare my life, please don't kill me..."

  "It's actually me... I'm Qingfeng Pearl..."

  He listened, his eyes narrowing slightly, and grasped Chu Cha's shoulders, pinning her against the tree trunk.

  A faint scent of fresh grass wafted over, and the young man buried his face in her neck to take a light sniff.

  Chu Cha's shoulders trembled slightly due to his sudden movement.

  The boy's warm breath splashed on her side neck, causing a faint flush. The skin seemed to be lightly brushed by feathers, bringing a tingling sensation.

  Chu Cha gently bit her vermilion lower lip, and her bright eyes, like jade, involuntarily took on a thin layer of mist.

  She slightly tilted her head and looked over...

  But can only see the boy's perfect side profile under the moonlight, his forehead and nose bridge form a clear outline, almost naturally born, eyes without worldly emotions hidden in the few strands of black hair falling from his temples, cannot be explored.

  "No spiritual energy of Qingfeng Pearl."

  The young man's voice was calm and emotionless. He slowly raised his head, and a pair of dark, unfocused eyes stared at her neck.

  Then he grasped Chu Cha and lifted her up with one hand.

  Chu Cha grasped the wrists of the unknown person who was choking her with both hands, and kicked her legs weakly.

  The breath of death wrapped itself around her once again, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.

  Her eyes uncontrollably revealed a hint of fear, but she still forced herself to say: "Of course you can't smell it... I was previously severely injured, which made me unable to exert the spiritual power of the Clear Wind Pearl, that's why I transformed into this human form..."

  The nameless head slightly tilted, the hands that had been choking Chu Cha's throat slowly loosened.

  Chu Cha heavily fell to the ground, but couldn't even cry out in pain, she greedily took big breaths of fresh air.

  Just now almost...almost thought I was going to die again...

  After she calmed down a bit, he continued in a hoarse voice:

  "If I weren't Qingfeng Pearl, how could an ordinary human like me possibly provoke so many monsters to pursue me with such ferocity, and get hurt by them in the process?"

  "And as Qingfengzhu, I can see through everyone's desire for what I bring to them."

  "Those monsters that were chasing me just now, they crave for me to give them power."

  "And you, want me to help you cure your eyes."

  The more Chu Cha spoke, the more affirmative her tone became, and even she herself almost believed it.

  During this time, she kept observing the young man's face, and his expression remained unchanged, without any ripples or fluctuations, as if everything she said was irrelevant to him.

  But Chu Cha's heart still let out a sigh of relief.

  Nameless didn't mean to take action...

  It seems that impersonating Qingfeng Pearl is still a viable path!

  After all, Qingfeng Pearl is now the only obsession of Wu Ming.

  He can kill the only person in this world who knows where Qingfeng Pearl fell, but he won't kill Qingfeng Pearl itself.

  The young man slowly crouched down, his pair of black eyes without focus rolling around several times before finally locking onto Chu Cha's eyes.

  No matter how many times she looked at them, those dark eyes that were so deep no light could penetrate made Chu Cha uncontrollably want to tremble.

  His tone was flat and even, enunciating each word clearly: "Eyes."

  Chu Cha knew what he meant was asking her if she could cure his eyes.

  But she's just an imposter!

  Of course not.

  So can only continue to bluff...

  "Big brother, I'm currently unable to wield the Clear Wind Pearl's spiritual power. I still need to absorb the essence of the sun and moon for 49 more days before it can be restored. You see..."

  The boy didn't move.

  Chu Cha's heart skipped a beat, and she began to carefully move her body backwards, her eyes involuntarily filled with fear and tension...

  If it is...

  If she's still thinking of resorting to violence, then the Thirty-Six Stratagems' "retreat is the best option" would be her last chance; absolutely cannot end things unclearly here.

  It wasn't until after a few gasps for air that the young man in white finally slowly stood up.

  With stars and moons on his shoulders, and wind and dust at his belt.

  "Keep up."
