After all, the two of them had previously been in a relationship of Charitable Giving.

Now, they were supposed to be all square.

But she was still asking Xu Lei for help, which made him feel a bit strange.

’It’s like breaking up with your girlfriend, only for her to ask you to help her chase a new guy.’

So, Xu Lei didn’t agree right away.

"I know you’re probably not feeling great about this."

Jingchun was a smart woman, and she naturally understood Xu Lei’s mindset. Knowing she was indeed asking too much, she couldn’t help but say, "I... I have to trouble you. I’m begging you to help me.

If you need some form of compensation?

I... If I have it, I can give it to you.

Dharma Gates, Magical Artifacts... you..."

"I want one more night of your Charitable Giving,"

Xu Lei said. "I don’t want anything else. How about it?"

"How could I possibly agree to that?"

Jingchun was startled. "I just said that we—"

But Xu Lei had already stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her tightly.

"We’ve already had three children together, anyway."

Seeing her struggle a little, Xu Lei kissed her again and said, "It’s not like we haven’t engaged in Charitable Giving before. What’s the big deal?

Besides, as you know, I’m not short on ordinary Magical Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques.

As for the better ones, the Daoist Sect Cultivation Techniques, I can’t even practice them.

And your Magical Artifacts... you need them yourself. You’d never give them to me."

"Don’t, Hui Chi, don’t."

Jingchun fell silent for a moment. Then, she pushed against Xu Lei’s chest, but without any real force. She bit her lip and said, "Fine... all right. Then... just one last night.

After this, we really can’t be like this anymore.

We have to go back to how things were supposed to be."

"All right."

Xu Lei said, "As you wish."

「Seven days later.」

Xu Lei, Zhao Xin, and Jingchun once again gathered in the stone chamber where Hui Lu’s coffin lay.

As Xu Lei gazed at Jingchun’s exquisitely graceful figure, his mind couldn’t help but drift back to what had happened seven days ago.

Although he had engaged in Charitable Giving with Jingchun many times over the past five years,

he didn’t know why, but that time felt completely different.

’Maybe it’s because I knew it might be the last time I’d ever perform Charitable Giving for her.’

And sure enough, since that night, Xu Lei hadn’t even touched Jingchun’s hand.

Jingchun had spent several days preparing. Today, she was finally going to officially awaken Hui Lu.

The three of them sat cross-legged, forming a circle around Hui Lu.

"Master, are you sure this Soul Summoning Dharma Seal is going to work this time?"

Zhao Xin asked as she reviewed the Ancient Spirit Immortal Dharma Seal that Jingchun had taught them. "Have you figured it all out?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

Jingchun said. "I’ve figured it out, completely figured it out!

This is a Soul Summoning Dharma Seal!

It definitely won’t veer off into Soul Transfer again!"

"In that case,"

Xu Lei also spoke. "let’s begin.

You can rest assured, I will do my utmost.

I..."

"Hui Chi, you don’t need to say anything more,"

Jingchun said. "If I didn’t trust you completely, I wouldn’t have asked for your help."

Xu Lei had been about to say more because of the kind of relationship he’d once had with Jingchun.

He was worried she might think he wouldn’t give his all during the process, or that he might even try to sabotage it.

That was why he wanted to make a special declaration.

He hadn’t expected her to say that.

So, he just nodded.

"Begin!"

Soon, the three of them began to truly channel their Magical Power, forming the Ancient Spirit Immortal Dharma Seal with their hands.

Light flowed from the three Dharma Seals as they resonated and connected with one another.

The eerie energy field, one that dealt with souls, appeared once more.

VMMMM!

And as this energy continued to surge,

an unexpected thing happened: a faint, illusory human figure actually began to coalesce above the unconscious body of Hui Lu.

Its height, build, and facial features were all identical to the Hui Lu in the coffin!

Seeing this, Xu Lei’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow.

Although he was one of the creators of this scene,

he had only activated the Dharma Seal.

When he did so, he was just following the instructions by rote.

In truth, Xu Lei didn’t really understand the underlying logic or the changes in this soul energy.

He was like a student on Earth performing a chemistry experiment.

He followed the procedure from the textbook and got the desired result,

but he only had a superficial understanding of the principles involved.

A man who was supposed to be dead now actually had his soul gathered back together through this method!

It was truly astonishing!
