It's possible that they had no idea that the two were actually so familiar with each other.

"How can you blame us for this?"

Seeing their sacred Buddhist disciple being questioned in this way, the believers were indignant and retorted angrily, "If that girl was your young lady, why didn't you make it clear from the beginning?"

“That’s right, we Buddhist disciples are never the kind of people who are unreasonable.”

Other believers also defended the Buddhist disciples, saying, "You had so many opportunities to explain, why did you keep it a secret?"

"How could we dare to say that? This is your territory, and we're being stopped from getting in. Who knows if you'll do anything to the young lady?"

The zombie subordinates retorted without backing down, "You've locked the young lady up inside. Who knows if it's a trick of yours? What if you turn on us in desperation?"

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

Upon hearing these clearly slanderous words, the believers immediately became enraged and showed signs of taking action again.

"What, you think you're in the wrong and you still want to hit people!"

Humans were nothing more than food to these zombie subordinates. If it weren't for the difficulty in dealing with the girl, they would have already shown no mercy.

"Alright."

At this moment, the girl finally came to her senses. She scolded her zombie subordinates and then said to the Buddhist disciples, "They are ignorant. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days."

"It's nothing."

The Buddhist monk shook his head, then looked at the girl with some regret and said, "One thought can turn you into a demon, one thought can turn you into a demon. Being chosen by the Buddha shows that you are a person with a special destiny. I hope you can keep this opportunity in mind, as it will surely help you in a critical moment in the future."

"I understand, thank you."

Upon hearing these words, the girl suddenly thought of the lotus pond dream and the fat monk. She looked up at the Buddha statue again, then turned and led everyone away.

Although the girl's story had caused a slight ripple in the area, it was quickly forgotten by everyone because it failed to achieve final success.

As for the girl, after experiencing this ordeal, her mindset changed greatly. She no longer wanted to stay in the mortal realm and soon led her people back to the demon realm.

She also managed her time very well, returning to the Demon Realm on the night of the second day, just one day ahead of schedule.

The first thing she did after returning was to switch back to her original body.

Looking at her body, which still resembled that of a young girl, she, who had previously felt a sense of rejection, now found herself completely at peace.

And there's a hint of fondness about it.

She reached out and touched the face of her own body, feeling as if the skin had come to life, delicate and fair, and pleasant to the touch.

"So, my face is this beautiful."

The girl smiled with relief and returned to her body with peace of mind.

Yu Shiqie, who was originally trapped in the small black space, also felt a pulling force, and when she came to her senses, she was back in her own body.

"Let's go."

After standing in front of Yu Shi Qie for a while, the girl finally shook her head and handed her over to the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket, asking him to take her away.

The middle-aged man in the yellow jacket was somewhat surprised by the girl's decisive action, but he was mostly pleased. It seemed that after this incident, the girl had matured overnight.
