Chapter 196 The Little Fox Transforms into a Human, the Demon Lord is Busy Chasing His Wife - 46
A slight upturn of her lips revealed a subtle, almost imperceptible smile that flashed across her delicate face.
She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Brother Shuo, there are many difficulties in cooperating on this matter."
Despite the predicament he faced, Yan Shuo remained resolute.
For him, watching the flame of life of his beloved gradually die out was a pain a thousand times, ten thousand times more unbearable than being subjected to the torture of being sliced to pieces.
Therefore, even if there is only a sliver of hope, he will try it without hesitation.
He gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence: "No matter how difficult the obstacles, I will pull her back from the brink of death and bring her back to life!"
Hearing this, the woman sighed softly and shook her head helplessly, saying, "Brother Shuo, to be honest, I am now just a lonely soul, without a real body. If you want to use magic to save her life, you must first revive me and obtain a complete true body."
After saying that, she looked at Yan Shuo with a slightly troubled expression, as if waiting for his response.
At this moment, Yan Shuo stood quietly in place like a statue, without saying a word.
After a long while, he seemed to snap out of a dream and asked, "Can't you just tell me exactly what to do, and then find someone else to do these things for me?"
Bai Jingjing shook her head slowly again and replied softly, "Brother Shuo, this matter is probably not that simple. If you want me to be resurrected, the only feasible way is to obtain the demon essence from your wife. I'm sure you have many concerns and worries about this request... But it's okay, I understand your difficulties, so let's just let this matter go."
When Bai Jingjing revealed his deepest, most secret thoughts without reservation, Yan Shuo felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
He unconsciously stretched out his right hand and dug his fingertips deep into his thick, black hair, as if this could slightly alleviate the tangled emotions swirling in his heart.
At this moment, he was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, trying his best to break free, but he could not find the way to freedom.
Although he was confident that he could save Wanwan's life after taking away her demon essence, she might revert to her original form and become a little fox. These were uncontrollable factors, and he dared not take the risk.
"Okay, I promise you! But you must promise me that you will keep Wanwan's person."
Even if Wanwan really does turn into a little fox in the end, he is willing to stay with her, for she is his only wife in this life.
Bai Jingjing was so surprised that he agreed so readily that she almost burst into tears of joy.
"Brother Shuo, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Master, something bad has happened!" Mu Wanwan, who was resting, waved her hand lazily, trying to drive away the jarring noise that kept bothering her.
He muttered to himself, "The flood didn't wash away the Dragon King Temple, so don't bother me!" Anyway, he had nothing to do all day, and even if he wanted to wake up, it was difficult to do so. It seemed that there was no other way but to sleep.
"Master, wake up! Yan Shuo wants to take your demon essence!" Like a thunderclap, Mu Wanwan was instantly jolted awake from her deep sleep.
She sat bolt upright, her eyes wide with shock and anger as she demanded, "What?! You took my demon essence! What the hell does this damned guy want?"
Piggy, standing nearby, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, saying anxiously, "He went to beg Bai Jingjing to save you. But Bai Jingjing said that only by restoring her true form could you be saved! And the necessary thing to restore your true form is demon essence!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan was so angry that her lungs felt like they were about to explode.
He cursed inwardly: "That treacherous Bai Jingjing! She actually set up such a vicious trap to harm me. After all that trouble, her ultimate goal is nothing more than to pave a smooth road for me."
Thinking of this, Mu Wanwan gritted her teeth and asked, "Then, has he already agreed to that woman's conditions?"
Seeing her owner so angry, the piglet was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed as she answered, "Yes, master, he... he actually agreed!"
At this moment, Mu Wanwan clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then slowly asked, "Piggy, if my demon essence is really taken away, what will be the consequences given my current cultivation level?"
The pig quickly checked and said, "Master, if your demon essence is taken away, your cultivation will be completely destroyed, but I will do my best to preserve your human form."
"Okay! Thank you, Piggy. You did have a little bit of skill this time!"
The pig looked at her angrily, "Master, I'm a capable system too, okay?"
Mu Wanwan looked it over from head to toe. "Didn't find anything!"
"However, Master, after we take your demonic essence, you may lose your memory!"
Huh? Amnesia?
"Do I still recognize you?"
The pig nodded vigorously; if even it didn't recognize it, there was no point in doing the task.
"Where is Yan Shuo?"
She couldn't help but ask the person in her heart, even though he was the target of her mission, it seemed that she couldn't have room for anyone else in her heart.
You will forget everyone in this world!
Is there any way to recover memories?
Amnesia isn't scary; what's scary is losing your memory and never being able to recover it—that would be terrible.
“Master, you come from modern society and have come with a mission. How could you possibly forget that so easily?”
Mu Wanwan, who had just been at a loss, instantly vanished.
"Then it's fine. It's just pretending to have amnesia, right? I'm good at this!"
Li Yuan, upon learning that Yan Shuo intended to seize Mu Wanwan's demon essence, tried his best to stop him.
"Demon Lord, you can't be so foolish! She is your wife, the wife you love!"
Yan Shuo pushed Li Yuan, who was blocking his way, aside. The determination in his eyes left no room for argument.
"Li Yuan, mind your place!"
Li Yuan was in tears. Last time, he had listened to Feng Xiangling's words, which led to Mu Wanwan sinking to the bottom of the river and barely escaping with her life.
Before he could enjoy his good days for long, his demon essence was taken away to save Bai Jingjing.
If he hadn't stopped it this time, he would never have forgiven himself.
"Demon Lord, I'm afraid you'll regret this! Today I'll risk my life to prevent you from taking Madam's demon essence and offering it to Bai Jingjing."
Seeing that Li Yuan was stubborn and uncooperative, Yan Shuo knew his worries. If it were any other situation, he would definitely have given Li Yuan a beating.
