The moment the talisman was affixed to her body, she was able to glimpse the true form of the floating smoke.
It was a blazing, eerie green flame, and in the center of the flame was a large eyeball.
"Wow, that's really great! Human emotions are like a delicious meal."
"Hehe, tasting the tears of sorrow is like drinking a jar of fine wine~"
Xing coldly looked at Fuyan: "You made the little girl cry, is that interesting?"
Fu Yan looked slightly annoyed: "What if I asked you during your mealtime?"
Is it meaningful to eat a lot of protein and carbohydrates? What would you think?
"This is very interesting for Suiyang, who enjoys stimulating human emotions."
"Don't forget our deal: I will only leave your body once I have achieved my goal."
Xing said calmly, "You can keep showing off until Su Jinyan arrives."
"Floating Smoke, there are only two endings awaiting you—imprisoned in the furnace of creation, or swallowed by illusion."
Fu Yan scoffed, "Hmph, I'm waiting."
"At worst, I'll just be locked in the Creation Furnace and devoured by the Illusionary Aura?"
"The Ten Kings Bureau wouldn't be so foolish as to raise a tiger that will eventually become a threat."
"Also, you don't naively think that Suiyang has no countermeasures, do you?"
"The moment I leave you, if I so choose, will be the moment your life comes to an end."
"You will burn everything like firewood, leaving not even ashes behind."
The tail came closer and lowered its voice.
"Hey, little girl, go and comfort Huo Huo."
"This guy's crying is more annoying than a mosquito's intermittent buzzing."
"Although Fuyan's trash talk was exaggerated, it still hurt her fragile heart. Go and comfort her."
Xing: "Why don't you go and say a few words of comfort to her?"
Tail grumbled, "Huh? You expect me to comfort you? Dream on."
Just then, a familiar voice reached Xing's ears.
[I am Su Jinyan. I know you are trapped in the illusion created by Suiyang.]
The mechanical bird cannot detect anything within the illusion.
An uninvited guest has arrived at the Netherworld Palace. She appears to be a messenger and is a rather beautiful older woman.
She seemed reluctant to see me, nor did she want to be my enemy; she just kept running away.
However, allowing an envoy of unknown origin to remain in Luofu is too dangerous; I must find out her background.
As for you and Huo Huo, there's no need to worry. Xueyi and Han Ya have already gone to rescue you.
Upon hearing this, Xing couldn't help but pound on the wall.
"Damn it, so it turns out that the envoy really couldn't find this place?"
"Did I miss a golden opportunity to turn things around?"
"System, System, are you there, System?"
The so-called "system" did not respond and seemed to have left her.
Floating Smoke and Tail were both stunned, exclaiming in unison, "Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tail asked with some concern, "You haven't let that idiot Fuyan influence your brain, have you?"
Thinking of this, Tail couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Tsk, what if something really happens to you?"
"Floating Smoke will definitely be used by that guy to feed Huanlong."
Fu Yan scoffed, "Don't joke around. One or two of you, trying to fool me?"
"What is Su Jinyan's background, and what qualifications does he have to make decisions for the Ten Kings Division?"
The tail looked at the floating smoke as if it were looking at an idiot:
"You've really been out of touch with the outside world for too long; you don't even know such an important person."
"That guy is the special envoy appointed by the Ten Kings to reward good and punish evil, and he is in charge of the four departments of the Ten Kings of Luofu: 'detention, imprisonment, punishment, and interrogation'."
"Ha, do you think he's qualified?"
Fu Yan trembled slightly: "Ten Kings Envoy? When did Luofu acquire such a powerful Ten Kings Envoy?"
Tail scoffed, "Even Huanlong was subdued by that guy."
"You're nothing but a fragment. Although the characteristics of Suiyang can't kill you, that guy has plenty of ways to torture you."
Fu Yan took a deep breath and fell into a long silence.
The prolonged lack of information caused oversights in her plans.
If that's the case, then getting involved with this gray-haired girl was a mistake.
With a sarcastic tone, he said, "Oh, why are you so quiet now? Aren't you scared?"
"Why isn't your mouth, which's been soaking in manure, talking? Are you choking on something?"
Fu Yan retorted sarcastically, "Enough already! You're nothing but a cowardly fox, the tail of the little judge."
"You're not even a dog, yet you dare to comment on me?"
Its tail circled the floating smoke: "Get anxious, get anxious. The more arrogant you are, the more guilty you are."
Fu Yan, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shrieked, "Enough! So what?!"
"Even if he were the Ten Kings, this little girl's life and death are still in my hands, let alone his special envoy."
"If I were him, I would definitely compromise."
Tail said no more, its eyes filled with sarcasm.
Fu Yan's heart sank.
In fact, Fu Yan knew very well that the higher the position and power of a person, the less likely they were to be threatened by her.
Although Fu Yan had never met Su Jinyan, she could tell from his words that he was no ordinary person.
If they were imprisoned in the Furnace of Creation, that would be better, as there would always be a chance for them to see the light of day again.
Even today, the Immortal Ship has no way to completely destroy Suiyang.
However, if it were to be devoured by a powerful sage like Huanlong, the weak sage would, without any mishap, lose itself and die.
This is also what Floating Smoke fears the most.
Xing walked up behind Huo Huo and comforted her:
"I'm sorry, Huo Huo, are you alright?"
"You're a judge, so pull yourself together."
Huo Huo was still sobbing: "Perhaps if it were another judge here, you would be saved, but why is it me?"
"Although I understand that a kind person like you wouldn't say such harsh words."
"He must have been possessed by that evil spirit to speak so recklessly, but, but I can't refute a single word he said."
"I've always been shy since I was a child. Ever since I was possessed by the tail, my life has been like a nightmare."
“When I was in school, people would always ask me, ‘How did your tail get set on fire?’”
"Walking in the crowd, I feel as dazzling as if I were under a spotlight."
The tail shrugged up to Huo Huo and snorted, "Oh, you're blaming me now?"
"If you had obediently let me eat you back then, would you have to be so troubled?"
Huo Huo rubbed her little pearl with a wronged expression: "Waaah, later, later when I entered the Ten Kings Division, everyone was acting strangely."
"I thought I had found my home, but the work of the Ten Kings Division is just too dangerous."
"Every day I have to fight all sorts of monsters, demons, and ruthless villains..."
"I...I'm really not suited for this job. If I can get back alive, I'll submit my resignation to the Ten Kings Division."
"It just doesn't make sense to let someone who fears Suiyang subdue him. I'm really sorry, I can't help you."
Xing gently shook her head and comforted him, "It was the paper doll left by Huo Huo that helped me. Thank you."
Huo Huo smiled through her tears: "It's so good that I could help you."
The tail said in a harsh voice, "Did you hear that? Stop crying. You're useful, and the paper figures you left behind are also very useful."
"I can't stand it! If I could regain my freedom, the first thing I'd do is swallow that bastard Fuyan."
"I'll eat you up in one bite, you little coward who cries all day long."
Fu Yan said in a strange tone, "What a pity, Master Tail is not what he used to be."
"If we still had the power we had back then, let alone breaking through this [Ghost Wall] illusionary barrier."
