The soul returning process went smoothly. Shen Mengxi was confused for a bit when she woke up, but then she turned sideways to look beside her pillow.

The little white cat was leaning forward and lying on its side, eyes closed, as if it was just sleeping. Shen Mengxi extended her finger to lay on top of its nose, her eyes widened as she stared at the cat for about half a minute, before lowering her hand and gathering it into her arms.

Cen Yuebai put away the remaining materials of the paper talisman and lightly said, "It died long before you entered its body."

"I know." Shen Mengxi stroked the cat's little body and sniffed, "I just thought..."

Su Yu handed her a tissue and clumsily comforted her, "Don't cry, we'll give it a good burial later. If you like cats, I'll buy you another one..."

"I don't want a cat bought by you." Shen Mengi took the tissue and wiped away her tears. After glaring at Su Yu, she looked at Ye Zhizhou and said, "Second brother, thank you." After saying this, she looked at Cen Yuebai, paused, and said in a small voice, "Thank you too, Second sister-in-law."

Shen Zixia saw that everything went smoothly, so he was in the middle of taking a sip of water to ease his mood when he directly spat out his water. Cen Yuebai paused in the middle of putting away the paper talismans. He turned his head to look at Ye Zhizhou, and in turn, Ye Zhizhou also stared at Cen Yuebai for a bit before shooting him a pleased and smug look. He walked forward to pat Shen Mengxi on the shoulder. "Well done, Mengxi!"

Shen Mengxi smiled shyly.

Su Yu looked at Ye Zhizhou's hand, which was resting on Shen Mengxi's shoulder, and felt an acid reflux rise to his chest. However, at this time, his identity wasn't suitable to do the same, so he could only bitterly bite a handkerchief in his heart.

Shen Zixia took a deep breath, turned around and then left the room. So be it, this way is good.

The pair of brother and sister went through the hospital discharging formalities the next day. After they got home and settled down, Ye Zhizhou went to the police station.

Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were very depressed. When they saw him come in, they just glanced at him indifferently before looking away.

"I can have my sister drop the charges against you." He sat opposite the two and explained the situation straightforwardly, "But I have conditions. Firstly, you guys can't harass my sister ever again. Additionally, you have to follow me to go somewhere tonight."

Zhang Lin and Cao Yu looked at each other. After communicating with their gazes for a bit, Zhang Lin replied, "The first condition, we agree. As for the second... We have to know where you're taking us."

"Yes." Ye Zhizhou agreed very easily, took out a pamphlet from his pocket and set it in front of the two people. "Recently, a new club opened in the south part of the city with a secret bar in it. I heard that you guys always wanted to see it. I'm a good person, so I'm willing to take you guys there to experience it. Don't worry, I promise that you'll leave looking the same as when you entered, not a hair will be out of place."

The two men looked at the pamphlet, looked at each other again, and then agreed to his request without hesitation. It was just going to the bar. Since the other side has made such a promise, they'll just go. Anyway, they're two big men who aren't afraid of any loss.

That evening, Ye Zhizhou threw the two into the bar and let them have front seats to watching several passionate male/male performances. That's right, the secret bar was a gay bar. There were regular large-scale performances and mixers—tonight was a mixer. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, as two straight men going in, who knows what kind of impact this would have on their spirit.

Three hours later, the two men came out of the bar with pale faces. Their clothes were a little messed up. They were probably teased by the enthusiastic bar guests inside.

Ye Zhizhou leaned against the car and greeted them with a smile. He asked gently, "How do you guys feel?"

"You actually brought us to this kind of terrible place!" Zhang Lin took the lead in expressing his anger. He rushed forward, wanting to grab onto Ye Zhizhou's collar to beat him up. "Damn it! I was almost forced by a man! He actually wanted to get me drunk!"

Ye Zhizhou blocked his hand and pushed it away, sneering. "Isn't that what you wanted to do to my sister?"

Zhang Lin choked on the rest of his words. Cao Yu's expression became distorted, the look in his eyes changing many times, but in the end, he didn't say anything. His face became more composed and steady and then he opened the car door to get in first.

"It's different!" Zhang Lin finally choked out this retort.

"What's the difference?" Ye Zhizhou looked at him directly and asked coldly, "Isn't this your usual practice—to pour drinks and then drag them to bed when they're drunk? Why is it that you get angry when this happens to you? When you do this to others, why do think that they're perfectly willing to and deserve to be taken advantage of by you? You're human, but others aren't?"

"It's just different! What other people, you only care about your sister! Actually, I don't have any ideas about your sister! It's all because of Fan Lang..." Zhang Lin stopped his sentence midway and his expression changed. He got into the car and shouted, "What's your purpose? I know I acted like a beast and not as a human before! I won't do it again in the future!"

Ye Zhizhou pulled open the driver's door and got into the car. He took out a picture of Fan Lang from his pocket and turned around, stretching out the hand with the photo in front of the two people while sending out his spiritual strength to wrap around them. He slowed down his voice and said, "I know that Fan Lang's soul was in my sister's body previously. You said that you only had ideas about my sister because of Fan Lang, so now, look at this picture and imagine what it would look like if you did things with him... Tell me, do you really want to do stuff with Fan Lang?" Fighting wasn't the purpose. The thoughts of these two rich generation idiots won't be changed so simply. Pulling out the soul flags was the main point.

In their mind, they couldn't help imagining the scenes that they saw in the bar, and then, the people who were performing these actions in the scene became themselves and Fan Lang... Zhang Lin and Cao Yu twisted their faces and looked out of the window one after another with wrinkled faces and pursed lips—a picture of disgust.

[The probability of Zhang Lin, Cao Yu and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fifth and sixth spirit flags have been removed. Congratulations to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]

Just provoking them a little and two soul flags were pulled out. It seemed like the two's trip into the bar today was really enlightening. Ye Zhizhou turned off the system prompt in satisfaction and mercifully took back his spiritual strength.

The picture in their brains gradually disappeared. Zhang Lin calmed the nausea in his heart and shouted, "We're just brothers with Fan Lang, brothers! Oh, I understand now! We were wrong! We'll be good people in the future! Shen Zihao, you're too cruel!"

Cao Yu wiped his face. He moved his lips and whispered, "My mother is right. I've been really stupid these years..."

Ye Zhizhou turned back around and started the car. He said, "As long as you guys understand, good people get rewarded. Bad people go to heaven. In the future, don't always think of doing bad things and taking advantage of girls. Is it hard to be a good man? And if you're straight men then stay straight men, don't randomly bend, others will be very troubled."

Zhang Lin beat the back of his chair and after cursing under his breath, swore in his heart that he would never provoke the Shen family again.

At the darkest time of midnight, Cen Yuebai took Ye Zhizhou to the place where Fan Lang had his car accident.

"This is it." Cen Yuebai shone the flashlight around him, rubbing the paper talisman in his hand while observing the direction of the dispersing ashes. Afterwards, he turned around and faced the flashlight to the deep woods near the road. "The body is in that direction. The invading soul probably awoke from the fighting traces we found before and then consciously entered Fan Lang's body, which happened to have had a car accident nearby. The soul merging probably only started after arriving at the hospital."

Ye Zhizhou turned on the system scanning function and swept around, frowning slightly. "Then why did Fan Lang's soul enter Mengxi's body?"

"Because that invading soul used the wrong skill. He shouldn't be someone who knows the dark arts." Cen Yuebai turned off the flashlight, took out a red thread and a few copper coins. After fiddling with them a bit, he looked up at the sky. "The soul merging spell is similar to the soul moving spell. It's easy for a beginner or someone lacking a master's leadership to make mistakes. That invading soul's hatred was too strong and couldn't reincarnate. They should've gradually lost their consciousness and dissipated, but by some bizarre accident, they were buried by the people who killed them—in this place of nourishing yin, which made them become more and more powerful."

A place for nourishing yin? Ye Zhizhou looked around at the desolate scenery and couldn't help rubbing his arms.

Seeing this, Cen Yuebai put away the copper coins and came forward to hold Ye Zhizhou's hand, leading him to the direction of the corpse's burial. "Soul merging became soul moving. In order to not let himself dissipate, he would've hidden before the second soul merging. Since he's already done this before, his soul merging target could only be Fan Lang. If I had found this out earlier, I would've waited and been more prepared. It would be much easier to catch him, but unfortunately..."

Trying to hide? Where could a soul hide? And Yin Feiyu could see the color of souls, so why hasn't he been found before?

As if he could see his doubts, Cen Yuebai pinched his hand and said a few words lightly, "The morgue."

Ye Zhizhou was stunned, and then suddenly realized. The morgue was the place with the most yin energy and souls in the hospital. It would be really easy to hide a foreign soul in there. So in the original plot, during the five years when Fan Lang's soul didn't return to his body, did the invading soul stay in the hospital morgue?

"It should be here." Cen Yuebai stopped in front of a hillside and pointed to a small cave covered by some stones under the slope. "The body should be under these stones."

Ye Zhizhou used the system to scan the stones, and as expected, traces of human bones were detected below them.

"Call the police?" Cen Yuebai turned him around, not letting him continue to face the direction of the corpse.

"In a few days, we'll report it." He shook his head. "I still have some things I don't understand." Yin Feiyu said that Fan Lang's soul was gradually turning black, so it can be seen that the invading soul should be black, and black represents a great evil. According to the information he found, the invading soul seems to have done nothing bad before. The only time he had an evil idea was when he tried to kill his ex-boyfriend's wife, but was instead directly killed.

Cen Yuebai nodded his head to show his understanding and led him back to the road. "I set up an isolation array outside of Fan Lang's ward. The invading soul has been trapped and locked there. As for the progress of the soul merging... The color of Fan Lang's soul isn't pure either. You should be prepared."

Ye Zhizhou's heart sank and his expression became more and more solemn when he heard this. It took more than 20 years for the protagonist's soul to be merged in the original plot, why was it reversed now...

His heart was busy with many things, so he didn't notice Cen Yuebai's little trick as he was driving. He didn't pay attention until the car stopped in front of a villa. He stared blankly and asked, "Where is this?"

"This is the house my master prepared for me for my wedding." Cen Yuebai helped him to unfasten his seatbelt and then got out of the car first to open Ye Zhizhou's car door for him. He leaned over to look at him and said, "This will be our future home. Do you want to go in to have a look with me?"

Although he knew that there would definitely be some harmonious activity occurring after he went in, he didn't care. His lover looked too handsome as he glanced towards him while leaning on the car door, too handsome to the point where he felt suffocated. He's not human if he didn't fall down from this!

"Yes." He got out of the car without any reserve, and his eyes swept over Cen Yuebai's lower body. "You said that you couldn't lose your innocence before finding your fated one. What about now?"

Cen Yuebai chuckled and held his hand. "It's going to belong to you."
