I can rewind time to prevent death

This woman was utterly merciless. As her body and newly regrown head were burned with a sizzling noise, she couldn't help but let out a piercing scream, yet she still lunged at the Lantern Woman.

The Lantern Woman hadn't expected that her opponent, looking like that, wouldn't dodge but instead pounce, and she was hit squarely.

On the neck of the Black Dress Woman, three heads simultaneously grew and furiously started Ripping Bite at both the Lantern Woman and Jia Sheng.

The flames spread like a sea, completely covering the area, and the figures of the three strangenesses were no longer visible.

Yan Junze could feel the burning sensation from the flames. However, there was still some distance between him and the battlefield, so he moved his body further into a corner and stared unblinkingly at the sea of flames before him.

About four to five minutes later, the whole mass of burning flames began to recede, visibly shrinking rapidly until, at last, not a trace of fire was to be seen—it had all been absorbed by Jia Sheng's mouth.

Jia Sheng looked disheveled, with a flame flickering in his mouth before he closed it and swallowed the fire.

The battlefield revealed was no easier on the Lantern Woman; her neck was almost completely severed, hanging off her shoulder. Her scalp was lifted, and she sat weakly on the side, bracing herself with one hand on the ground.

Jia Sheng's head was tilted beside the Lantern Woman, staring fiercely straight ahead.

On the ground in front of the two strangenesses, one could only see a charred black dress spread out, with the shapes of limbs and a head discernible around it. Beyond that, the Black Dress Woman's figure had vanished.

Now, it seemed she had been annihilated.

Yan Junze noticed that the Lantern Woman's Spirit seemed unable to retract and immobilized, whereas Jia Sheng's head was also unable to float up. His expression was angry, but powerlessly tilted to one side, looking like an easy target.

Information about task completion quickly surfaced in his mind.

[Special Preference, Hair-raising (Medium), completed, received 1300 points of Different Dimension Energy]

"It seems, it's my turn to enter the fray," Yan Junze murmured as he crept out of the corner below the stairs and carefully approached.

"Ning Ji, have you found your husband's body?" Yan Junze spoke up as he drew near.

The Lantern Woman came back to her senses, turned her body, and looked towards the headless corpses scattered around.

The murderous-looking Jia Sheng snapped, "No need to look, my body isn't here; that kid is deceiving us!"

As he finished speaking, his gaze shifted towards Yan Junze, but to no avail, for his head had no power to float up — he could only stare in frustration.

Yan Junze thought for a moment, walked behind Jia Sheng's head, bent down to grab his scattered long hair, and lifted Jia Sheng's head.

"What are you doing?" the Lantern Woman immediately panicked.

Walking up to the Lantern Woman and maintaining a certain distance, Yan Junze stopped in his tracks, put Jia Sheng's head down at his feet, and then stepped on it, saying, "You wanted to find your husband, and I have found him. Yet not only do you not thank me, but you also moved in with your husband into my dream, coming to me every now and then for Jia Sheng's headless body. Tell me, should I thank you or should I kill you?"

"You cannot kill me," the Lantern Woman coldly replied.

Yan Junze looked around and had to admit that in this dream realm, he indeed could not kill these two strangenesses.

Even though it might seem that he could kill them now, whether he could truly end their lives was still uncertain.

If he could summon the Black Spirit Mallet, then perhaps it might be possible, but with his current capabilities within the dream realm, he simply couldn't do it.

"Let's do this," Yan Junze suggested in a tone open to negotiation, "Your husband has been dead for over eight hundred years. There's no way to find his body by any means. Look, there are plenty of headless corpses here, both male and female. How about you let your husband pick any one he likes?"

The Lantern Woman was taken aback and didn't speak, instead directing her gaze towards Jia Sheng's head.

Now in the midst of negotiation, Yan Junze felt that his posture with his foot on Jia Sheng's face was somewhat inappropriate, so he slowly took it off while managing to squeeze out an awkward yet polite smile.

Feeling the pressure on his face lessen, Jia Sheng knew that the Lantern Woman was waiting for his decision. He hummed through his nostrils, bearing the footprint on his face, and said, "I might take a look."

"Please do," Yan Junze gently rotated his head, "Once you've made your choice, you can leave my dream realm."

The Lantern Woman's expression softened slightly, but she slowly shook her head, "We won't leave, but if my husband is satisfied, I can help you eliminate another strangeness in your dream realm."
