Chapter 47

The giant snake's inner elixir had a significant effect. After a while, Linglong had slowly woken up. She looked at me and the disheveled ghost in front of her, and first took defensive action. She thought for a while before letting down her guard.

"Thank you, sister." She seemed to remember the whole story and said weakly.

"You're welcome. Look what this is?" I took out the Huiyang fruit.

When she saw the Huiyang Fruit, she excitedly sat up from the bed, but she didn't expect that her wound would be affected and she fell down again.

I put the Huiyang fruit in her hand, she held it tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

I didn't understand why she was crying so hard, so I pulled the disheveled ghost out. When I reached the door, she said, "Please forgive me, sister. I was just a little excited when I saw Hui Yangguo. I'll apologize to you later."

"What are you talking about, sister? Isn't this what we agreed on from the beginning?"

"We agreed on that at the beginning," she murmured.

The disheveled ghost and I left her room, leaving her to recuperate on her own.

As for Liu Danchen, he still had to rely on the disheveled ghost. He picked some herbs from the mountains and fed them to Liu Danchen, who was now fast asleep.

"Thank you." I said to the unkempt ghost.

When he heard my thanks, his face was full of smiles, even a little shy.

I thought about how lonely he must be, trapped in the Zhaiyang Mountain, conversing only with animals all day. My heart ached, and I wanted to help him. But unlike demons, which can roam freely, the shaggy-haired ghost, once transformed in Zhaiyang Mountain, is confined to its boundaries. It's a rule. I can only use the power of the Feather Stone to purify him, remove the mark on him, and free him from his confinement. But that's a profound technique, and I haven't mastered it yet.

"Here, this is for you." I took out a leaf of the soul-resurrection grass.

He was looking at me with wide eyes, seemingly a little unconvinced.

"Do you want it or not? If not, I won't give it to you."

He carefully took the soul-returning grass leaf.

I don't know what use the Soul-Returning Grass is to him, but it can restore human energy, and the giant snake guarded it with its life, so it shouldn't be any bad.

Just as he was looking at the soul-returning grass with joy, Linglong pushed open the door and came out.

At this time, she has regained her spirit, and I can even feel that her demonic power has become stronger.

When the shaggy-haired ghost saw her, he quickly shrank behind me.

Linglong noticed the shaggy-haired ghost's actions and said, "Haha, from now on in Zhaiyang Mountain, I'll protect you."

I also comforted him and said, "Don't worry, she is my sister too, you don't have to be afraid."

The disheveled ghost then came out timidly.

"I accept you as my sister." Linglong only now truly recognized me.

But I didn't guard against her from the beginning. I have been like this since I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Where is that young master?" Linglong asked when she saw that there were only two of us.

"Senior Brother Danchen?" I looked at her.

She nodded, then said, "I haven't thanked him yet."

"Did you thank me?" I said.

She paused when I asked her that, then seeing my malicious smile, she said, "Do we sisters need to thank each other?"

"Hahaha." I looked at her and laughed.

The disheveled ghost next to me obviously didn't know what I was laughing at and looked at me in confusion.

"He's lying in bed and hasn't woken up yet." I said, pointing to the room.

Linglong heard me say this and walked towards Liu Danchen's room. I followed her in. She stood in front of Liu Danchen's bed, exhaling pink mist from her mouth. When the mist dissipated, Liu Danchen slowly opened his eyes.

When it comes to healing, demons are still better than us humans. Liu Danchen now has a rosy complexion, which is no different from when he was healthy.

He stared at Linglong in a daze.

"Brother Danchen, your eyes are wide open." I shouted, destroying the charming atmosphere in the room.

Liu Danchen was awakened by my sudden shout and smiled awkwardly at Linglong.

Linglong looked at Liu Danchen charmingly and said, "Thank you very much for today, sir."

"Miss Linglong, you're welcome." Liu Danchen got up from the bed and bowed to Linglong.

"Sister, you are so amazing! Now you can't tell at all that Senior Brother Danchen was injured." I said standing by.

"Little sister, don't mess around." Liu Danchen glanced at me.

"Hehehe." Linglong didn't say anything, just looked at me and Liu Danchen and laughed.

Linglong healed Liu Danchen's injury in one go, so he and I didn't dare delay and prepared to continue our journey overnight. When I explained this to Linglong and the disheveled ghost, the disheveled ghost was a little reluctant to let me go so soon.

Linglong was also surprised and asked: "Why are you leaving so soon?"

"We have important matters to attend to, so we have to leave as soon as possible," said Liu Danchen.

In the end, Linglong and the disheveled ghost escorted us out of Zhayang Mountain. Liu Danchen kept looking back. Seeing his lost look, I said, "You're not falling in love with her, are you?"

Liu Danchen was startled by what I said and covered my mouth to stop me from talking.

"She is a real vixen. Aren't you afraid that Master Zhang will break your legs when you return to Baiyun Temple?" I said, pulling his hands away forcefully.

Liu Danchen was stunned when I said this. It seemed that Linglong left a deep impression on Liu Danchen.

"Little sister, please don't talk nonsense in front of the master," he said.

"Then it depends on your performance." I seized his little weakness and teased him.

After leaving the border of Zhaiyang Mountain and looking at the busy streets, I felt like I was back to the real world. I asked him, "Where are we going next?"

"Go to Sichuan." Liu Danchen said without hesitation.

In this way, we changed buses many times along the way. I was very carsick and finally had to take a train to Sichuan.

Looking at the green train in front of me, I felt a little excited. After all, this was my first time taking a train.

The train was packed, and tickets needed to be checked before boarding. Fortunately, Liu Danchen and I sat next to each other, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to find him.

It took us a day and a night to reach Sichuan. The landscape here was completely different from our hometown. All we could see were high mountains and steep cliffs, and in the mornings there was thick white fog. As the train passed over a bridge, I looked down at the roaring river below, and I was really afraid of falling in.

Shu was a very new place for me. I kept asking questions along the way. Liu Danchen became annoyed by my questions and covered his head, pretending to sleep on the chair.

He ignored me, so I played by myself.

When we arrived in Chengdu, Liu Danchen and I got off the station.

I had never seen the customs and culture of Sichuan before, and I was dazzled for a moment.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Let's go to Mount Emei first." Liu Danchen said.

Mount Emei isn't located in Chengdu, so we took a bus to Leshan. After finally arriving, I was too exhausted to climb again, so I stayed the night at the foot of the mountain. Many of the inns here are owned by farmers. The landlady served us a bowl of steaming hot wontons. I don't know if it was because I was hungry or because they were so delicious, but I devoured it in a hurry. Seeing how quickly I was eating, the landlady kindly gave me another half bowl.

I looked at the proprietress embarrassedly and buried my head in eating again.

Little did I know that this was the best meal I had during my trip to Sichuan, and the subsequent experience completely exceeded our expectations.
