Lin Xi looked down and saw, "A little sprite formed from the earth's energy in the mountains."

The sky is yang, the earth is yin, and both heaven and earth possess spiritual energy. The mountains are constantly bathed in the essence of the sun and moon, and over time they have developed self-awareness.

This consciousness is called the Earth Qi, and in ancient times it was also called the Mountain God.

In this degenerate age, a mountain god actually exists on this small hill.

The yellowish-brown clouds were arrogant, saying, "This mountain is mine, this road is mine, and without my permission, you humans cannot enter or leave."

Ji Heng rolled his eyes. "Me and this...big shot, we're just here, aren't we human?"

He didn't know what to call the woman next to him, but calling her "boss" was always a safe bet.

Whether I can go home tonight depends entirely on the boss.

The yellowish-brown cloud of mist snarled, "Ji Heng, you traitor! You liar!!"

"And you too!"

The mist conjured two dead fish eyes and glared at Lin Xi. "Woman, I'm angry, and the consequences will be severe. Without my orders, you won't be leaving this mountain!"

He rolled his eyes. "If you play games with me, I might be merciful and let you out..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jin jumped onto the yellowish-brown cloud and punched it three times.

The clouds howled, "Ah! What are you doing?"

Little Jin hit even harder, "Master, I'll teach this guy how to behave properly first."

The yellowish-brown clouds darted about, but could not escape the little paper figure's palm.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am the mountain god, you can't hit me!!"

Xiao Jin snorted, "You're the mountain god, but I'm the mining god."

Back in the day, he owned three gold mines, five silver mines, six copper mines, and ten iron mines; that entire mountain range was under his control.

Unfortunately, when I woke up after a nap, all those mines were gone.

Xiao Jin slammed his fist down, yelling, "You little mountain god, how dare you be arrogant in front of me!"

The yellowish-brown clouds were being suppressed and beaten, causing his color to fade. He quickly begged for mercy, "Brother Jin, Brother Jin, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Xiao Jin then stopped, dragged Yunwu to Lin Xi's side, and grinned with his standard smile, "Master, what should we do with this guy?"

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and examined the little thing on the ground.

It is not easy for the earth's energy to take shape in the mountains, yet the small hill next to the cemetery actually contains earth energy.

This place is no longer suitable for those with earth energy. Without incense and merit offerings, those with earth energy will soon dissipate between heaven and earth.

Of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), Linxi is just missing a small paper figure.

She patted the little cloud, "Now that you have consciousness, would you like to follow me?"

The yellowish-brown cloud blurted out, "I am a mountain god, and I would never follow a human."

With a single glance from Xiao Jin, a yellowish-brown cloud of mist uttered a sweet, childlike voice, "Master, I'm willing to follow you and Brother Jin~"

There's an old saying that goes, "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

Jin Ge's master exudes a faint purple aura; following her is definitely the right thing to do.

Lin Xi took out a piece of yellow paper from her bag, cut out a small paper figure, blew on it, and the paper figure stood up on the ground.

I glanced at the yellowish-brown clouds.

The little paper doll wore a yellow dress and had two buns on her head. She looked very lifelike, except that she had no eyes.

The mist, quite perceptive, slipped inside the little paper figure, bounced twice, and sweetly chirped, "Thank you, Master~"

Lin Xi patted his head and said, "From now on, you will be called Xiao Tu."

"Okay, Master." Little Tu was no longer as arrogant as before and stayed obediently by her side.

Lin Xi glanced at Ji Heng, "What's going on between you and him?"

Xiao Tu answered truthfully, "Master, I was so bored that I wanted to find someone to play with me. Ji Heng agreed to play games with me, so I brought him to the mountains."

Ji Heng retorted, "When did I agree to play games?"

Xiao Tu's face was full of grievance. "That day in my dream, you promised me, and you even took my flowers."

Ji Heng recalled the strange dream, "So it was you who was behind it."

Lin Xi glanced at them a few times, "Explain yourself more clearly."

Ji Heng began to cry and complain.

Lin Xi pieced together the whole story through him and Xiao Tu.

Three days ago, Ji Heng accompanied a friend to the cemetery to pay respects, and afterwards he had a dream.

In my dream, the little girl was standing alone by the roadside, holding a flower in her hands, looking very pitiful.

Ji Heng asked, "Little sister, where are your mom and dad?"

The little girl said, "I don't have a mom or dad."

Ji Heng thought to himself, "What a pitiful child."

The little girl held out the flowers in her hand. "Brother, I'm so lonely. Would you like to play games with me?"

Ji Heng couldn't bear it, so he accepted the flower, saying, "Brother is willing."

Then, Ji Heng opened his eyes and saw a yellowish-brown mess, which startled him greatly.

Xiao Tu pouted, "Master, I'm a good person. He only did it after he agreed."

Ji Heng shouted indignantly, "That's fraud! You're using an innocent little girl to gain my sympathy!"

Xiao Tu: "I didn't."

Ji Heng: "You do."

Lin Xi interrupted their pointless argument, "Xiao Jin, Xiao Tu, you two go back and rest first."

She turned the colorful bracelet, and Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu turned into two streams of light and disappeared instantly.

Ji Heng was dumbfounded; this world was too magical.

However, he realized one thing: the woman beside him was a big shot, a super big shot, and he had to stick close to her.

Ji Heng tentatively asked, "Boss, can I go home and visit my family before I reincarnate?"

Lin Xi said, "You're not dead yet. I came here tonight to take you home."

Xiao Tu wanted Ji Heng to play games with him because this guy had a pure soul.

In other words, Ji Heng was extremely simple-minded.

"real?"

This huge surprise left Ji Heng completely bewildered. He stammered, "Boss, you came all the way to this godforsaken place just for me?"

Lin Xi nodded. "You could say that."

She was after Ji Heng's money.

Master said that mentioning money was too direct, so Lin Xi gently reminded him, "I saved you, you must repay me."

Ji Heng nodded frantically, "Definitely, definitely..."

What could possibly be worth a big shot staying up all night to come up the mountain and rescue him?

Money is too ordinary, and jewelry is too tacky.

Could it be that the big boss is after him?!

Ji Heng secretly glanced at Lin Xi.

Upon closer inspection, the boss has delicate features, a well-proportioned figure, and fair skin.

If... it's not impossible.

"What are you grinning about? Get out of here!"

Lin Xi gently pushed him, and Ji Heng fell face-first into the mud, rolling three times on the grass and getting a mouthful of dust.

He silently shed tears, "Boss, please be gentler next time."

"So weak, hurry up and catch up."

Lin Xi withdrew her hand and left first.

Ji Heng touched the injury on his face and immediately dismissed the thought, hoping that the big boss wasn't after his people.

He's just an ordinary mortal, unworthy of the big shot.

The big shots can only be admired from afar, not disrespected.

Seeing Lin Xi walking further and further away, Ji Heng used all his strength to chase after her.

"Boss, wait for me—"
