Journey to the West: After the Great Sage listened to the advice, the three realms were all confused

Chapter 1261 Why did he treat me like this?

"What do you mean I can't learn it? You didn't even try to teach me... Besides, what kind of relationship do we have? You don't have to be so petty, do you?"

Lou Yishen was somewhat unconvinced and muttered under his breath.

Sun Wukong, who heard these mutterings, pretended not to hear them.

He coughed lightly, his eyes drifting slightly as he said, "However, although I can't teach you anything, there are some things I do need your help with."

Lou Yishen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. If he wasn't going to teach him, so be it! At worst, he would just secretly learn a little bit while assisting him.

Upon realizing this, Lou Yishen immediately perked up and took the initiative to ask what he needed to do.

Upon hearing these words, Sun Wukong nodded and quickly told him what he needed.

Actually, the main problem is that the space isn't big enough. We need to move the furniture in the room to one side to make room for the formation.

After clearing out a sufficiently large area, Sun Wukong set up a spirit-gathering array within it.

As Lou Yishen watched the array that instantly appeared beneath Sun Wukong's feet, moving without wind, with a gentle yet highly perceptible spiritual energy swirling within it, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

No wonder Sun Wukong said he couldn't learn it!

This guy set up the formation with just a thought, without needing to chant any incantations or anything, and activated it directly.

Who can tell anything from just looking at it?!

Lou Yishen sat down to the side, looking somewhat melancholy.

Then he saw Sun Wukong gather the collected, gloomy remnant soul in his palm and place it in the formation.

Because the Yin Youyou spirit's body is not stable, Lou Yishen can actually see very limited things.

But he could clearly feel that, in an instant, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees.

It's obvious without much thought that their souls have been extracted.

Lou Yishen, who was actually a little scared, covered his eyes with his hands, but couldn't help peeking through the gaps between his fingers to see what was going on.

Sun Wukong, standing to the side, was speechless at the sight of the other party's utterly incompetent and playful nature.

He didn't pay much attention to Lou Yishen; he just muttered a few complaints and then shifted his focus.

As he murmured softly, the gloomy remnant soul placed in the center of the formation was gradually being replenished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even so, several hours had passed by the time the gloomy soul was fully restored.

They worked straight from evening until midnight.

Now, only one last step is needed to awaken the consciousness of Yin Youyou's soul. Without much hesitation, Sun Wukong took out a bottle of water from his pocket.

Opening the porcelain bottle caused the intense yin energy emanating from the Yellow Springs water to cause the indoor temperature to plummet once again.

Fortunately, Lou Yishen had sensed something was wrong beforehand and left the room under the pretext of keeping watch for Sun Wukong.

Otherwise, I guess I'd have to freeze for a while longer.

Unaffected by this, Sun Wukong took out a drop of Yellow Spring Water and added some other ingredients to it.

Only then did he drip the tainted Yellow Spring water into the gloomy soul.

This is to use the water of the Yellow Springs to stabilize the newly grown soul of Yin Youyou, making it more robust.

At the same time, because Sun Wukong added the ingredients, Yin Youyou wouldn't have gone berserk and turned into a vengeful ghost because she couldn't withstand the power of the Yellow Springs water.

Then, he could begin to regain his gloomy consciousness.

He gathered a radiant light at his fingertips and gently touched the space between Yin Youyou's eyebrows. Yin Youyou's soul, which had been listless and dazed, instantly shuddered.

As a glint appeared in Yin Youyou's eyes, she seemed to finally realize where she was, looking around in confusion.

"Where am I? What happened to me?"

Yin Youyou looked at her slightly transparent hands and feet, then at Sun Wukong, who inexplicably gave her a great sense of oppression, and murmured a question.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Don't you remember? You're dead now."

"When I found you, you were just a remnant of your soul, and even your body was just a few fragments."

Yin Youyou's first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief, followed by the realization that Sun Wukong was joking with her.

But looking at Sun Wukong's serious expression, she knew perfectly well that he wasn't joking with her.

Is she really dead?

It was at this moment that her memories of the time before her death belatedly entered her mind.

Recalling the cause and horrific nature of her death, Yin Youyou was overwhelmed with shock. She screamed, her eyes turned bloodshot, and a surge of malevolence rose within her.

However, upon seeing Yin Youyou's appearance, Sun Wukong did not hesitate at all. He immediately conjured a fly swatter and slapped Yin Youyou's cheek hard.

Yin Youyou, whose berserk state was interrupted by this brutal method, collapsed to the ground, her cheeks instantly swelling up.

"What are you doing! Don't you know what it means to cherish a beautiful woman?" Yin Youyou looked at Sun Wukong with a face full of resentment. This guy really went too far.

Doesn't this person know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face? Even if she's become a ghost now, you can't treat her like this, right?

Shaking off the fly swatter he'd conjured, Sun Wukong shrugged nonchalantly: "Your appearance just now terrified me, so I resorted to some extreme measures, and it worked quite well!"

Indeed, you can see that Yin Youyou was directly stripped out of her berserk state, and there was no trace of ferocity left on her body.

"So, how exactly did you become like this? Was it done by those fake law enforcers?" Sun Wukong asked directly.

It would have been better if Sun Wukong hadn't said this; the moment he did, it became so eerie and unsettling that it made me feel terrible.

She sighed, her expression becoming even more dejected, and knelt on the ground drawing circles.

“Those imposters were puppets… The one who killed me was Pale. I’ve seen that mark on Pale before…” he murmured in a sinister tone.

The marks she referred to were actually marks she accidentally saw when the puppets attacked her unprepared.

The reason she knew it was a pale puppet was simply because when the pale puppet was being made, he played a prank and secretly drew a mark on it.

Actually, the puppets were made a long time ago.

Since returning from the exploration, Pale has rarely used the puppets he used before, and even less so have he made any new ones.

Therefore, when Yin Youyou accidentally saw the markings on the puppet, she didn't actually react immediately.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already died on the spot, and then became completely dazed and confused.

Looking back now, Yin Youyou doesn't know how to describe her feelings.

"...But I don't understand. I've never offended Pale, so why is he treating me like this?"
