After hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Ya Zi immediately realized what she meant and nodded, saying, "Well, should we go back to the hotel now?"

"Let's go back to the hotel. Why stay out when we have a place to stay?"

Yue Jiuling took out her phone to check the time and said, "I'll set up a barrier first, and then check the situation tomorrow. Oh, and I should also call Hao Zhu; I need to have him come too."

After infusing the bamboo with spiritual energy, Yue Jiuling set up a barrier in the bamboo forest to prevent anyone from finding out that there was a spiritual bamboo there. After the barrier was set up, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi returned to the hotel.

The next day at noon, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi had just finished their takeout and set off. They had already notified Hao Zhu before they left. Fortunately, Hao Zhu was free recently, and he came out as soon as they called him. When they arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw Hao Zhu waiting outside.

Upon seeing Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi in the distance, Hao Zhu said anxiously, "Miss Yue, Young Master Long, there's a barrier..."

"Oh right, I forgot about the barrier, haha, sorry~"

When Yue Jiuling saw Hao Zhu standing outside the bamboo forest, she felt a little strange. But she didn't expect that it was her own barrier that was blocking Hao Zhu from the outside.

"Sorry, I forgot you can't enter this barrier either."

Yue Jiuling released the barrier she had set up the night before, then went inside and looked at the half-cut bamboo, saying, "Go check if it's ready yet. Let's wait outside."

Hao Zhu nodded, and then couldn't wait to enter the bamboo's space. After a while, the half of the bamboo that had been silent suddenly began to emit a faint light, and it also emitted some spiritual energy. Then, the ordinary bamboo around it turned much greener.

"Oh, it looks like it's done!" Yue Jiuling exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this. "Wow~ if it's done, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Ya Zi, standing to the side, was also a little puzzled. He asked curiously, "Yeah, why haven't they shown up yet?"

Just as the two people outside were still wondering what was going on, Hao Zhu, who had entered the bamboo space, emerged with a smile. He happily announced, "Miss Yue, Young Master Long, my friend has regained consciousness!"

"Looks like he's really awake now, so why isn't he showing himself yet?"

When Yue Jiuling heard Hao Zhu say that the bamboo spirit had regained consciousness, she asked him why it hadn't manifested yet. Hao Zhu replied, "Ah, it's like this. Because your demonic power isn't quite compatible with his, he's still digesting and integrating it, so he can't manifest yet. But he should be able to manifest in a few more days. Don't worry, I was able to talk to him just now. He's already awake, but he still needs a little rest."

"Oh, I see. I thought it had failed."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling understood, but she could also comprehend it, since her attributes were different from those of the bamboo, and she did indeed need time to digest that spiritual energy.

"In that case, we'll head back now, and leave the rest to you."

After seeing that the bamboo spirit had recovered, Ya Zi said to Hao Zhu, "Call us if you need anything, we'll be leaving now."

"Okay, thank you."

Hao Zhu also needed to take care of his friends, so he didn't keep Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi and let them leave the bamboo forest directly.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yue Jiuling followed Ya Zi away. On the way out of the bamboo forest, she said, "Where do we go now? It's so boring having nothing to do~"

Ya Zi didn't really know where to go, but staying in the bamboo forest wasn't a good idea either. This place was more suitable for the bamboo to play in, but staying in the hotel would be boring, so she didn't know where to go for a while.

Just as he was about to turn around and discuss with Yue Jiuling where to go, he suddenly saw a person taking a selfie by the roadside. After seeing that person, Ya Zi suddenly had a sudden idea and said, "Hey, Jiuling, why don't we go find Feng Meng? Is he already filming a movie?"

"Yeah, he's already filming. What? Are you going to be an actor too?"

"No, I've got an idea! Let's become stuntmen or extras. We're just idling around anyway, might as well earn some extra money?"
