Han Sen took Dragon King's advice and followed his instructions . He tried to extract the thing from his body .
But it turned out Han Sen didn't have the thing inside him . He initially thought Dragon King must have gotten something wrong or had taught him incorrectly . But when Han Sen tried it on Zhang Yuchen and the others, the method worked . For some reason, the thing just couldn't exist inside Han Sen's body .
Dragon King was shocked by the discovery, too . He expected Han Sen to show much appreciation and reward him; little did he expect that Han Sen wouldn't even need such knowledge .
"Not bad . " Han Sen still gave him a small compliment for the tip .
While Han Sen might have been okay, there were still many humans inside Immortal Shelter . He wanted to save as many of them as he could . Han Sen went out to find Zhang Yuchen and many of the others, and he helped them break the contract with their spirits .
With Han Sen's reputation and status, and the backing of Dry Bone King and Baby Ghost, everyone was freed except for Qiu Ping . Everyone else had signed a contract with a royal spirit, but Qiu Ping had signed a contract with Qing Jun King directly .
Han Sen sent them all to his underground shelter, while he remained inside the Sky Tree . This was because Qiu Ping was still under contract, and Han Sen wanted a few more goodies before leaving . If the tree grew, everyone there would be food—super creatures included . And with seven mighty super creatures there, Han Sen thought it'd be a waste .
One more question lingered on Han Sen's mind, as well: who left him the slip of paper? He asked all the humans he had rescued, but none were likely candidates .
"Did a king spirit or super creature write it, maybe?" Han Sen didn't have a clue, much to his annoyance .
But Han Sen was also willing to stay due to Little Angel's finished evolution . Seeing the halo ring's buff, Han Sen knew she had to be incredibly powerful .
And with Disloyal Knight also there for backup, it gave Han Sen the courage to hang around .
In his private room there, Han Sen was practicing when all of a sudden, someone barged through his door . It was Qing Jun King, and she approached with great anger .
She immediately shouted, "Where did you hide Zhang Yuchen?!"
"You are a king spirit, aren't you? Why do you care so much about a human?" Han Sen responded .
"That is none of your business . Give him to me!" Qing Jun King said .
"I don't have him," Han Sen said .
"Do you really want me to become your enemy?" Qing Jun King asked .
"I'm not your enemy, but it's true . I really don't have him," Han Sen said .
"Fine . " Qing Jun gave Han Sen one last cold stare, then marched out .
Dry Bone and Baby Ghost had arrived just in time to see the commotion . Dry Bone looked at Han Sen and said, "You really made her mad this time . "
Han Sen asked, "Why does she care about him, a human, so much?"
Dry Bone answered, "You may not understand . It has to do with her practice of a skill; it is called 'Love . ' Humans can become far more emotional than spirits, so Qing Jun selected Qiu Ping and Zhang Yuchen as her target for this . If Qiu Ping kills Zhang Yuchen on her behalf, and she then kills Qiu Ping, her practice with the skill will be complete . But . . . "
Dry Bone King broke out in laughter .
"But what?" Han Sen asked .
Baby Ghost continued the speech, saying, "But Qiu Ping is smart . He genuinely liked her, but he wasn't willing to kill Zhang Yuchen for her . He knows about her plan, and he has known for a very long time . He just pretends he doesn't know anything . This entire thing has been going on for twenty years . She has grown impatient, over the course of that time, due to her being unable to finish the skill herself . "
Dry Bone then said, "She knows she has failed, but she is a spirit . Pride is as important for her as it is for us . She will never admit it . Now that you have sent him away, though, the slim chance for a future success may have well-and-truly disappeared . It angers her, and she won't let you slip away so easily . "
Han Sen now fully understood why she cared about the humans so much .
"What do you think she'll do? What can she do? Is she going to try to kill me with her seven super creatures?" Han Sen wondered out loud .
Qing Jun King was only a spirit with nine of her gene locks open . With Little Angel ready to be unleashed, Han Sen wasn't afraid at all .
"She can't do that . Mister Immortal won't allow her to hurt anyone . The extent of her command starts and ends with manual labor . They aren't her pets or anything," Dry Bone reassured Han Sen .
Han Sen knew Sky King needed them as food, so it was likely true . He wouldn't allow them to kill each other over squabbles of their own .
"Then what is there to worry about?" Han Sen said .
Dry Bone King answered, "To be honest, me and Baby Ghost don't have what it takes to fight her together . "
"She is that good?" Han Sen was surprised upon hearing this .
"Yes . Why else would she be the one in charge? It's why you need to exercise some caution and be careful," Baby Ghost replied .
"Thanks for the information, you two . I'll definitely try to be more careful," Han Sen said . After sending Dry Bone and Baby Ghost away, Han Sen noticed another slip of paper on his table .
"Did one of them just leave this without me realizing it?" Han Sen looked on the back of the paper first and saw another Nine-Life Cat symbol .
