"So what do you want?"

Tanlang looked at Yue Jiuli with slight nervousness; he was still quite afraid of her.

Yue Jiuli noticed his nervousness, and without disappointing him, she smiled and approached him, saying, "I don't want anything, I just want to make Qiyou a little happier~"

Not long after Yue Jiuli jumped out of the hotel window, she heard a chaotic commotion coming from the fifth floor, with loud noises and bright lights.

"Heh~ It's been too long since I've done these things, I'm a bit rusty now~"

After completing the mission, Yue Jiuli sent a message to Yue Jiuling and left the border city.

In the human realm, when Yue Jiuling received Yue Jiuli's message, she was having a late-night snack with Ya Zi at the night market. That's right, Ya Zi had already returned from the divine realm.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Ya Zi saw Yue Jiuling laughing happily after receiving a message, so he asked her, "Is something good happening?"

"Yes, it is indeed a good thing. Qi You's great revenge has finally been achieved."

While typing a reply to Yue Jiuli, Yue Jiuling forwarded the message to Qingcheng in the demon realm. She looked up and smiled, saying, "Jiuli finally took down that Tanlang guy. Now Qiyou can rest easy."

"Oh? It's all sorted out. That's definitely a good thing."

After learning about this, Ya Zi laughed and said, "By the way, is there still no news from the bamboo forest? Qi You's injuries should be almost healed by now. How are he and that little rabbit doing?"

"Well, the bamboo forest is still the same as before. I'll have to go back and take a look later. As for Qiyou, I heard from Qingcheng that he and Rourou are very close now. It seems like they're serious."

When the topic turned to Qiyou and Rourou, Yue Jiuling was quite happy. She said while biting into a slice of grilled fish, "They're both adult demons now, so let them play by themselves. I won't get involved in this."

"Haha~ That's true, I hope I can drink wedding wine soon~"

Ya Zi took a sip of her "happy water" and said, "But you still need to deal with the bamboo forest as soon as possible. After all, we don't know when the case of the giant centipede will be closed. If we have to go back by then and the bamboo is not ready, it will be troublesome."

“Yes, Jiu Li has gone to the Demon Realm, so there’s no one here. I promised Hao Zhu I would help his friend recover, so I can’t just leave like this. I have to get things done before I can go.”

Speaking of bamboo, Yue Jiuling was also very troubled, because after so long, the bamboo spirit still hadn't woken up. Even when Feng Meng said he heard voices last time, it was only once, and he never heard from it again, which made Yue Jiuling very distressed.

"Tsk, it's all Jiu Li's fault. How could she have been so careless back then?"

Yue Jiuling took a bite of the chicken leg indignantly, then gulped down a mouthful of orange juice and said, "Oh well, I guess I'm just unlucky. But I think I need to give it some extra nutrition soon, otherwise it really won't do."

Upon hearing this, Ya Zi knew what Yue Jiuling was planning to do. He thought for a moment and said, "How about I do it?"

"No need, I'll take it. I owe them something, after all."

Yue Jiuling refused to come.

What she meant by adding nutrition was actually channeling spiritual energy into the bamboo, so that the bamboo spirit could recover sooner.

Not long after finishing their late-night snack, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi returned to the bamboo forest. The crows, both large and small, were already resting in the bamboo forest, but they were immediately awakened when they sensed people entering. However, they relaxed their guard after seeing that the visitors were Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi.

The big crow flew over to Yue Jiuling's side and cawed twice, saying, "Caw caw~ What are you doing so late at night?"

Yue Jiuling raised an eyebrow at the giant crow: "What do you care what I want? I'm not here to see you anyway."

"Ugh~ Fine then, you guys are bored, whatever you want~ I'm ignoring you all, ugh~ I'm going to sleep~"

The big crow went back to rest, while Yue Jiuling squatted down next to the half-cut bamboo to look at it.

Because Yue Jiuling's main soul had no connection with the bamboo, she couldn't enter the space inside the bamboo like Yue Jiuli. However, after touching the bamboo, she could tell that the bamboo spirit was still asleep.

"I've started. I'll try to see if I can wake it up."

Yue Jiuling said to Ya Zi.

She first extended her palm towards the bamboo, then calmly and focused her mind to utilize her spiritual power. At the same time, a change occurred within her: her black eyes turned into green vertical pupils, her casual clothes vanished, replaced by a red ancient costume, and her black hair gradually grew longer, stopping only at her calves.

Ya Zi looked at Yue Jiuling's 'transformation' with slight surprise. At this moment, Yue Jiuling, dressed in red, was even more captivating to him than usual. However, he remained silent and stared intently at the person in front of him.

This outfit was actually Yue Jiuling's previous appearance, but the transformation only lasted for less than a minute before Yue Jiuling returned to her previous appearance.

When her long hair was cut short and her red ancient costume transformed into casual wear, Yue Jiuling smiled slightly and said, "Oh dear, it's been so long since I've done this. I miss it a little~"

She withdrew her hand from the bamboo and said, "Alright, I've already given a lot of spiritual energy to the bamboo. Under normal circumstances, it should be able to absorb it all and become clear by tomorrow."
