"Okay, in that case, thank you very much."

Hao Zhu thanked him with relief.

Having said that, they had already arrived inside the bamboo forest. Yue Jiuling saw her divided soul still surrounded by a flock of noisy, cawing crows, so she called out to her, "Jiuli~"

"Huh? Why are you back again?"

When Yue Jiuli saw Yue Jiuling, she was quite surprised, because she thought Yue Jiuling wouldn't be coming back tonight.

"Why are you back? And why are you here too?"

When Yue Jiuli saw Hao Zhu also following Yue Jiuling, she was quite surprised. However, after Yue Jiuling placed her hand on her forehead, she understood everything.

"Hehe~ Sorry, I had no choice back then, so I borrowed the bamboo to possess my body in desperation. But I don't need its help anymore, so I'll be able to leave here soon."

Yue Jiuli looked at Hao Zhu with a little embarrassment and said.

She now knows everything from Yue Jiuling, so she still feels quite embarrassed in front of Hao Zhu.

"It's alright. My kin are slowly recovering now, which puts my mind at ease."

Seeing that a solution had been found, Hao Zhu didn't really blame Yue Jiuli.

Seeing that things had been discussed openly, Yue Jiuling squatted down next to the bamboo to observe it, saying, "Actually, if things continue like this, it should heal very quickly, so you don't need to worry."

Ya Zi also looked at the bamboo and said, "That's what they say, but if it recovers, it will definitely become a spirit bamboo. You all have to keep a close eye on it, otherwise someone will come and snatch it away."

Hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling understood what he meant. She raised an eyebrow at Yue Jiuli and said, "By the way, didn't you say you were going to keep watch here tonight? Well, you'd better be careful then~"

"Tsk~ Jiuling, what do you mean by this? Tell me quickly, I already know you definitely know something, so tell me now~"

"Hehe, I know, but I'm not telling you. Just wait and see if anyone comes tonight~"

Yue Jiuling deliberately didn't tell Yue Jiuli what she knew, because she felt that revealing it would ruin the experience. However, she also gave Yue Jiuli a small hint: "By the way, don't worry, you can protect this bamboo. Don't worry~"

Hao Zhu, listening to their conversation, asked with some confusion, "What do you mean? I know about the two times a demon came looking for Lingzhu before, but it left without finding her. Is it going to come again tonight? How do you know that?"

"Hao Zhu, don't worry. Actually, I'm not entirely sure if it will come again tonight, but even if it does, it definitely won't succeed. Just relax."

Hearing Yue Jiuling's assurance, Hao Zhu, who was initially a little worried, became less concerned and nodded, saying, "Alright then, I'll trust you."

After looking at the bamboo, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi left the bamboo forest, while Yue Jiuli remained inside.

Watching Yue Jiuling's departing figure, Yue Jiuli called out to her, "Jiuling, when you see Feng Meng later, remember to ask him to order takeout for me and have it delivered here!"

Yue Jiuling listened to her words from the front, then turned her back to her and gave an 'OK' sign to indicate that she remembered.

"Sigh~ It's a little boring, but there's nothing I can do. I have to protect the bamboo tonight, since I owe it to it."

Yue Jiuli squatted down on the ground, brushed aside the bamboo leaves beside her, and sighed.

The little crow that had been flying around her suddenly became excited, cawing around Yue Jiuli: "Caw caw caw~ The King is coming back soon, the King is coming back soon, I can sense it~"

"Hmm? Your king is coming back?" Yue Jiuli looked up at the sky after hearing the little crow's caw and said, "How long has your king been gone? Why is he only coming back now? Doesn't he get tired of fighting all the time?"

"Wow, it's alright~ The King has been gone for almost two days. He went to fight for our own good, because if we don't defeat the Eagle Clan, we Crow Clan won't dare to be careless for even a day~ Oh dear~ Look, the King has really returned."

"Wow wow wow~"

"Wow~"

As the baby crow cawed, the other crows seemed to sense that the adult crow was about to return, and they all started cawing loudly as well.

"Wow wow wow~"

Yue Jiuli was getting annoyed by the cawing of a large flock of crows. She looked up at the sky and said, "Do you all have to be so agitated? So what if you're back? Ugh, it's all so noisy!"

Yue Jiuli found the crows too noisy, so she decided to move away. But before she could leave the flock, she heard a familiar voice from the sky: "Wah wah~ Ahahahaha, this great king is back~"

As the sound appeared, Yue Jiuli also heard a 'bang' sound, and then saw a dead cow being 'fallen from the sky'!

After the dead cow fell, all the crows around rushed up to grab the carcass and eat it.

"Tsk~ It really is a big crow~ By the way, where did you get this cow from?"

When Yue Jiuli saw this, she knew that the big crow had returned. She just didn't expect that the big crow would bring back a dead cow for the crows in the clan to eat.
