Unfortunately, Juxi's speed is still too slow, even with the agility boost from Bailing, his speed is still no match for Juxi's evasiveness.

Hmm, that's the tricky part about him, just like the Black Warrior! Hei Tong once again thought of his defeat against Qianjiu, and he must have a deep understanding of this.

"Uncle, although I don't know what your relationship is with that woman, or even the history between you two! But I understand your feelings, you should let go... shouldn't you?"

"..."

"I'm telling you, Uncle, you've suffered enough, just like you said! But... do you still want to continue bringing this pain to more people?"

"...pain... it hurts so much!"

"It worked!"

Hei Tong's emotions suddenly became excited. Things seem to be not as bad as he imagined, there is still some hope for redemption.

As long as Juxi's willpower can resist the Core Spirit, he has a chance to recover!

On the contrary, if he fails, he can also weaken the Demon Emperor to some extent, increasing Hei Tong's chances of winning.

"What?! Hei Tong found something amiss, "Has the Core Spirit inside him ceased to exist?"

"Wuwuwuwu..."

Hei Tong realized that he couldn't sense the Core Energy inside him anymore, which means there is only one person inside him now... himself!

Juxi has gone berserk... No, his appearance hasn't changed, but his will is resisting his own inner demons.

This is the first time Hei Tong has witnessed such madness. The monster inside him has awakened!!!

...

Juxi's consciousness has plunged into darkness, including meeting everyone... he is silently recalling every bit of everyone.

Juxi knows that he can no longer distinguish between himself and others.

"Yeah, it's nothing!"

Juxi shook his head, denying it in one breath... no, what is he actually expecting?

After settling the bill, the two walked out of the cafe together. At this point, only scattered drizzles remained, and many people put away their umbrellas.

"Ah, the rain stopped! I'm Yuanhui... you already know that quite well, what's your name?"

"Tsubaki Kyu Juxi."

"Great! We'll meet again, Juxi! Hahaha, goodbye!"

Well, still so surprisingly optimistic, Yu Nai is still cold and ruthless towards strangers (those with bad relationships are considered strangers), and Yuanhui is still easily blending in with everyone like before.

Yuanhui skipped back.

"Wait! We're too cool to just leave, let's exchange phone numbers and email addresses first!"

"Oh." Juxi felt his head starting to ache with that bursting sensation again, feeling like the food in his stomach is about to come out.

What Juxi never expected was that when he took out his phone and looked at the screen, there was a contact with the nickname "Yukari-chan" in his contact list.

His heart instantly became mixed with various emotions, should he...?

"Hey!"

A big hand waved in front of Juxi's eyes, "Are you okay? You're zoning out."

"Yeah, sorry, I didn't notice..."

"Huh? Are you really okay?"

"I'm really really fine!"

Yuanhui smiled faintly and waved, saying, "Then goodbye!"

"Ah! Goodbye~"

After saying goodbye, Juxi hurriedly rushed back home, thinking along the way about how to dial this number. Got it! I'll dial it and let the other person speak first, how clever of me!

Undoubtedly, Juxi in this world had already met Youxiang long ago.

But how should Juxi face this new her? It made him very worried. Perhaps his place in her heart had already been taken by another man.

Juxi didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

He took a shower, turned on the TV, and tuned in to some entertainment programs. The late night comedy show was just two idiots fighting, so he turned off the TV and lay on the bed.

Juxi muttered to himself, looking at his phone, "Should I dial this number or not?"

Hmm~ mmm~!

It's better to dial and ask, but...

It's definitely more comforting to confront her face to face, or maybe... Youxiang is working at a nightclub? Thinking of this, Juxi frowned.

How is that possible! Just thinking about it, it's impossible for Youxiang with that personality to do such a sleazy job. But what is it that is making Juxi so anxious about this phone call?

Finally, he gathered up the courage and dialed the number!

"Hello, this is the Shinomiya residence, who is this?"

The strong magnetic voice of a woman answered the phone.

Strong winds and heavy rain blocked Juxi's footsteps, but he still headed straight towards the place he longed for, conveying his unaccepted intentions.

Ignoring the gazes of others, he ran between the streets without an umbrella.

Youxiang~!!

The anticipation in his heart was completely occupied by Youxiang, and even his heart was filled with deep longing for her.

The surge of emotions broke free, and no one understood the burden Juxi bore. He let the raindrops hit his cheeks, bearing a pain that would never heal.

He accidentally stumbled over a protruding brick on the muddy road, and his phone flew several meters away, stopping in front of a house's gate!

"Who put this here... Master Juxi?"

A maid dressed girl was clearing a clogged drain in the courtyard and noticed Juxi's phone on the ground. Following the phone, she saw his disheveled state.

"Master Juxi, please come inside and change quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Feeling dizzy and nauseous, Juxi suddenly felt no raindrops above his head. The maid girl put the umbrella over him and didn't leave.

The girl's face was pale but not cold, and her mouth was unrestrained.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Yuqing, don't you remember, young master?"

The girl's complexion didn't have the normal color that a normal person should have, but Juxi no longer cared about those details.

Since it's the Shinomiya residence, Arashi Yukari must be living in this house. Juxi just needs to wait, and Youxiang will appear by his side.

Juxi quietly reassured himself in his heart: Don't worry! Besides staying at her own home, she won't be traveling for too long, right?

"Come inside quickly, if the miss sees young master in this state, I'm sure she will scold me."

The girl pulled Juxi's sleeve without saying a word and dragged him into the house. After sitting on the sofa, she immediately brewed tea and handed him a towel.

Yuki gave Juxi an indeterminate amount of warmth and affection, even though sometimes she could be a trouble, they would still understand and forgive each other.

Before this, Juxi may have been a total mess, or maybe a nonchalant playboy!

Yuki had always seemed so distant, and Juxi, acting coy like a girl, had never mustered the courage to express his true feelings in front of her. He loved her like a younger brother loves his older sister, but he never truly revealed his emotions, watching her suffer and die in that merciless world.

But once his departed soul left his body, it regained its radiance and was granted a chance to be reborn. Yet, why did he reminisce about so much? Could it be because of that girl, or...

"It's me, buddy."

That voice, sounding exactly like Juxi, echoed in his mind, making him exclaim in astonishment, "Who are you!?"

"Don't worry about who I am because I am you!"

At the end of the sentence, a Juxi, almost identical in speech but wearing tight-fitting clothes, stood before him. Step by step, he approached until Juxi could almost feel his genuine breath. Juxi could not believe the reality in front of him.

"Have you unraveled the uncertainties in your heart now?"

That Juxi wore a peculiar smile, a personality almost the opposite of Juxi's.

"Are you... me?"

"...Haha."

"Or... am I you?"

"Neither."

The other Juxi disappeared without a trace, and the world suddenly turned pitch black.

Hei Tong's surroundings were like a tornado, trapping Juxi deeper and deeper...

The cloudy sky seemed different, like a dark curtain moving across, gradually obscuring the already scarce sunlight.

Hei Tong and Juxi remained at odds, but Hei Tong could no longer suppress his fear.

Helplessly, he watched as black smoke enveloped Juxi's entire body, eventually transforming into an armored dinosaur.

The core spirits within Juxi gradually solidified, eventually forming a massive black dragon!

"Roar!"

With this transformation, the core energy within Juxi rose once again.

Hei Tong felt a strong sense of danger, especially since the size of the monster had now expanded to the size of a building.

As the monster grew larger, the capacity of Juxi's core energy also increased, but he was still not conscious of attacking.

Although the safe zone had not yet been affected by any disasters, the crowd was in complete chaos. Everyone was petrified by the sight of the gigantic creature in front of them.

Suddenly, a monster appeared, so massive that it covered the entire sky. The city was filled with panic.

While Juxi continued to grow, the city turned into a chaotic scene of chase and stampede, with numerous violent incidents occurring.

Bai Xunxiang and her group noticed the dragon that was about to take off, with broad wings that were almost fully formed.

"This can't go on like this!"

Hei Tong clenched his teeth and his hand, holding the bracelet, was soaked with sweat.

He knew the precarious situation they were in. If they didn't take action soon, the situation could spiral out of control!

"Everyone, quickly spread out and find a way to keep this dragon on the ground. If it flies, we won't be able to deal with it!" Bai Xunxiang shouted.

"Keep... keep it on the ground?!" Hei Tong wondered if he misheard, as Bai Xunxiang actually said something so terrifying.

Keeping it on the ground might indeed make it easier to deal with, but Hei Tong knew very well that Bai Xunxiang and the others had no idea how terrifying this dragon was!!!
