After approximately 15 minutes, Zhong Kui's array was completed, and the snow-white, jade-like tooth within the array had turned to gray, losing its luster.
"It's done. Bai, you should keep this well. It will recover on its own over time and can ward off evil and misfortune," Zhong Kui said, handing over the jade tooth.
"It's wasted with me. In your hands, it can serve its greatest purpose," Bai Ruozhu refused to accept it.
Zhong Kui thought for a moment and said, "Bai, you still have dealings with the Western Regions Royal Family. If they refuse to relent, it's better for you to handle this artifact."
Bai Ruozhu thought this made sense. If she needed to return it eventually, asking Zhong Kui for it again would be awkward.
She didn't hesitate and stored the jade tooth into her Space.
Unnoticed by her, Xiaohui drifted out from Xiaohei's head, took a breath towards the jade tooth, and drew away a streak of black Qi, seemingly solidifying its form somewhat.
