Since it was said by a disciple of the righteous path who had already entered the sect, it was not a rumor. Even if those hundreds of demon god spirits were not the best, their cultivation was equivalent to that of a fourth-level expert. With such assistance, how could the righteous path possibly win?

Perhaps only the Xuanyuan Sword can turn the tide, but why is there still no sign of the Xuanyuan Sword appearing until now?

Zen Master was deeply worried and stopped speaking for the rest of the time. Even when others spoke to him, they had to call him several times before he would respond.

A dozen or so young people thought he was terrified by the demons and made fun of him.

And so, dusk finally fell. The group of young people stopped what they were doing, said goodbye to Shi Chan, and went home.

Shi Chan stood there alone for a long time before finally stepping onto a path leading to the temple of the holy monk, looking worried.

When Shi Chan arrived at the Holy Monk Temple, it was already very late. At this time, everyone in the town was eating at home, so the temple was naturally very quiet.

When he pushed open the temple door, the first thing that caught his eye was the woman sitting cross-legged on the left side of the main hall entrance.

Seeing that slender figure, Shi Chan's worries subsided somewhat. He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and slowly walked over.

Liuli turned around when she heard the voice, pouting and asking unhappily, "Shichan, why are you so late? The mayor's wife has called me several times to go home for dinner. I know you always come here first, so I've been waiting until now."

Before the Bodhi tree sprouts, she will still call him Shichan, just for his peace of mind.

Looking at Liuli's complaining and coquettish face, Shi Chan felt a momentary daze, as if he were seeing her before her rebirth. His heart, which had been worried all day, unconsciously relaxed and warmed a little.

Since arriving in Magpie Bridge Town, he felt that the Liuli of the past had returned. She had remembered all the beautiful emotions, and she often showed a sly and playful smile, her bright eyes often smiling into crescent moons.

This glass is really beautiful.

"Sorry, something came up and I'm a little late." Shi Chan walked to Liu Li's side and looked down. He saw a small, shallow pit that had been dug in front of her, still damp from being watered. He smiled and said, "The Bodhi tree still hasn't sprouted?"

"What, are you in a hurry?" Liuli raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously, "Can't wait to marry me?"

Shi Chan didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. He sat down cross-legged next to Liuli and said in a gentle voice with a smile, "Yes, I can't wait."

"Hey, don't sit on the floor," Liuli said, frowning. "Go inside and get a cushion, otherwise I'll be the one washing your clothes if you get them dirty."

Previously, Liuli wore clothes formed from spiritual energy, which were not afraid of getting dirty. At most, they would get torn during battles, and she could simply use her spiritual energy to change into a new set. But now, she and Shichan wear coarse cloth clothes from the mortal world, which require washing when they get dirty, which is quite troublesome. Liuli spent several days learning how to wash clothes from the mayor's wife, but she still doesn't get them very clean.

Before Shi Chan could speak, Liu Li glanced down at his clothes and sighed softly, "Never mind, sit wherever you like, it's all dirty anyway."

Shi Chan had been busy moving planks all day, so his clothes were naturally not very clean. He looked down at his dirty clothes, shook his head and smiled.

Shi Chan leaned his head against Liu Li's shoulder, closed his eyes, and unconsciously furrowed his brows again, whispering, "Liu Li, I'm so tired..."

Liuli gently embraced him and asked softly, "What's wrong? Was the work today tiring?"

How tiring can the life of an ordinary person really be? It's only the heart that gets tired.

After a moment of silence, Shi Chan responded softly, "Hmm."

Liuli's voice was unusually gentle as she whispered, "There's no rush to build the wooden building, so why are you exhausting yourself like this, silly monk?"

Zen Master remained silent for a long time.
