Shen Tianxing had dealt with Wa Keming of the Five Ghosts Sect, an Evil Dao practitioner. She then used her Divine Sense to check his room, ensuring nothing was overlooked. After confirming this, she quickly returned to the Baorongfeng Building to et with Dugu Zixi.
Once the Life-taking Black Evil Array was broken, the dark clouds and evil aura that had enshrouded the Baorongfeng Building quickly dissipated under the sunlight.
To compensate the Baorongfeng Building’s staff mbers affected by the evil aura, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing joined forces, setting up a defensive formation and a Spirit Gathering Array throughout the building.
The mont these two arrays were established, the employees working inside felt an imdiate easing of their bodies, and the air around them seed to improve.
They gathered and debated among themselves, "Why do I feel so comfortable all over? It seems like the chilly aura from before is gone?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I feel it too, much more comfortable now."
"I feel revitalized as well. I had a headache just now, and now it’s suddenly gone."
Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing shared a smile upon hearing their discussions.
In their eyes was a sense of relief and release, along with a trace of gratification for having thwarted a major disaster before it escalated.
They didn’t even dare to think about what might have happened otherwise.
After resolving these issues, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing went straight to Dugu Juni’s presidential office.
Upon receiving a call from Shen Tianxing earlier, Dugu Juni had rushed over.
But after her arrival, when she called Shen Tianxing, Tianxing told her that she and Zixi were handling the situation and asked her to return to her office to wait for them. They would co to find her after they were finished.
She ended up waiting for two hours.
Only when she finally saw Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing enter, did Dugu Juni let out a long sigh of relief, asking "You two have finally arrived; you really scared . Everything here is okay now, right?"
Dugu Zixi smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Tianxing took the initiative to reassure Dugu Juni with a smile, "Auntie, we’ve handled everything. We’ve also laid out a defensive formation and a Spirit Gathering Array throughout the entire building. Not only will everyone working here be safe, but with the nourishnt of the Spirit Gathering Array, your health will improve, and work efficiency could double."
"Really? That’s wonderful!"
After expressing her excitent, Dugu Juni turned to Shen Tianxing with deep gratitude, saying, "Xiaoxing, I really can’t thank you enough! You’ve saved our entire Dugu Family, thank you, thank you..."
Anxious, Shen Tianxing imdiately replied, "Auntie, Zixi also deserves credit for today’s successes, not just ..."
Hearing her say that, Dugu Zixi, with a gentle smile, interjected, "My modest skills are all because of your teaching. Without you, there would be no Dugu Zixi."
Shen Tianxing looked at him, puzzled.
Then she heard Dugu Zixi transmit a ssage to her, "Foolish girl, we must credit all the achievents to you alone. That way, the mbers of our Dugu Family will owe you a great debt of gratitude. Who would dare disrespect you then?"
Only then did Shen Tianxing realize he was shielding her, desiring to honor her, wanting the Dugu Family to hold her in high regard and not to offend her.
Listening to Dugu Zixi, Dugu Juni wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, Xiaoxing, you don’t need to be humble. If it weren’t for you curing Zixi’s illness, how could he be what he is today? You truly are the lucky star of our Dugu Family!"
The lucky star again!
Speechless, Shen Tianxing accepted their praise, considering her close bond with Dugu Zixi — almost like one entity. Since Zixi was so protective of her, she decided to accept his kindness shalessly.
Subsequently, Shen Tianxing and Dugu Juni followed the original itinerary, heading to the new company to test and prepare the new product for launch.
Dugu Zixi then told Shen Tianxing about Ge Ming’s affairs.
Ge Ming’s noble sacrifice deeply moved Shen Tianxing, prompting him to swiftly fulfill Ge Ming’s wishes, and teach him the ways of Ghost Cultivation so that he could join their practice.
As for the Rockefeller Consortium of the Federal Empire, they would deal with them later that night when they had ti.
After parting ways, Dugu Zixi took the now ghostly Ge Ming, along with Ge Ming’s mortal remains, and found Ge Ming’s family ho as per his instructions.
Before entering the Ge residence, Dugu Zixi released Ge Ming’s spirit and cast a Soul Stabilizing Array on it so that both of his parents could see his spirit.
Perhaps it would be easier for his parents to accept the situation if Ge Ming explained it himself.
Although Ge Ming had lost his physical body, becoming a Ghost Cultivator was a different kind of opportunity.
It was just that his way of existing was now sowhat unique.
After making sure that Ge Ming was ready, Dugu Zixi finally knocked on the door of the Ge household.
The door was opened by Ge Ming’s father, an old man in his sixties, and he had a very kind and gentle appearance.
When he saw the noble and extrely handso Dugu Zixi, along with the shadowy figure of Ge Ming, he was montarily unable to react.
At that mont, Ge Ming’s mother called out from inside, "Old man, who’s there?"
Ge Ming’s father instinctively turned and responded, "It’s Ge Ming, he’s co back with a distinguished guest."
Ge Ming’s mother scolded him playfully, "Then why don’t you invite them in, what are you standing there for?"
Only then did Ge Ming’s father snap out of it and hurriedly said to Dugu Zixi, "Please co in and have a talk!"
The old man then cast another glance at Ge Ming’s spirit, as if sensing sothing, and his eyes imdiately reddened.
Dugu Zixi gave a slight nod to Ge Ming’s father and then entered the house together with Ge Ming.
With tears in his eyes, Ge Ming looked at his parents, and thinking of the eternal separation, he could no longer control his tears and cried out, "Dad, Mom..." but he could not utter another word.
Ge Ming’s father also instantly burst into tears, continuously wiping them away.
It was then that Ge Ming’s mother saw her son’s body, which was just a white shadow, similar to the spirits that appear on TV after soone dies, and she was so terrified that she almost lost her soul.
Struggling to steady herself, she asked him tremulously, "Ming’er, what, what has happened to you? Your mother is old, please don’t frighten ..."
"Mom..."
Ge Ming floated forward, wanting to embrace his mother and cry together, but his arms passed right through her body.
This outco shattered his heart, and similarly caused his mother’s psyche to collapse instantly.
She let out a heart-wrenching wail, "Ge Ming, my Ge Ming..."
Even Dugu Zixi, usually cold-hearted and unemotional, was shaken by Ge Ming’s mother’s sorrowful state, and his heart ached in response.
Ge Ming’s father quickly held onto his wife, and, just like Ge Ming, was sobbing inconsolably.
