"no"

Dou Shiliu retorted directly. She looked down at Hou Rong, somewhat startled, and then turned around and disappeared instantly.

The next day, rumors spread that the Gu Niang from the Demonic Sect had interfered with the martial arts tournament and cruelly murdered many martial artists.

Dou Shiliu: "..."

She was quite speechless. She had already said it wasn't her, yet they kept spreading the rumors.

Dou Shiliu shook her head, looking embarrassed, and then asked the waiter to bring up the breakfast. Luckily, she was confused about her appearance, otherwise the man in white would probably have come after her.

Hou Rong is easy to coax, but she's a bit afraid of people. Now she likes to stick close to her. The crystal buns looked crystal clear, and Dou Shiliu fed one to Hou Rong.

"Host, there are visitors from outside."

Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered as he turned and gazed out the window. The people in Qiuyuan Village must be getting restless too.

After feeding Hou Rong, Dou Shiliu told him to follow her obediently. Hou Rong nodded. The clothes that Dou Shiliu bought yesterday were delivered today. Dou Shiliu picked out one and helped Hou Rong put it on. Then Dou Shiliu stuffed the rest of the clothes into her space.

After getting dressed, Dou Shiliu led Hou Rong out. There was a small grove nearby where no one approached, so Dou Shiliu naturally headed towards it.

"Sister, are you going to meet someone?"

Hou Rong looked up at the bamboo forest above, where the wind rustled through the leaves, which swayed in the breeze and brought a chill.

"Um"

Hou Rong blinked, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, but she held Dou Shiliu's hand tightly as she stepped on a newly fallen bamboo leaf.

Dou Shiliu looked up, "Long time no see."

The bamboo leaf instantly transformed into a person.

Yin Ying approached with a smile, "My lord."

Dou Shiliu's eyes conveyed: "Clearly, you won."

Yin Ying smiled, then, addressing Dou Shiliu, "Thank you, Master."

If it weren't for Dou Shiliu's help, she probably would have been devoured by her sister. Dou Shiliu shook her head: "Because she meddled in things she shouldn't have."

Shao Ying disturbed her training and secretly made countless small moves, so Dou Shiliu naturally couldn't keep her around any longer and simply let Yin Ying accept this body.

"Yan Zhiyun is from the Ninth Heaven."

Yin Ying stared at Dou Shiliu. Qiu Yuan and Jiu Chongtian did not contact each other and did not disturb each other. Qiu Yuan witnessed the birth of Jiu Chongtian.

Yin Ying began, "And...", then hesitated for a moment, "Qiu Yuan's true form is gradually falling into a deep sleep."

Dou Shiliu's eyes darkened: "Did they stop it?"

Yin Ying smiled bitterly: "My lord, this is not something I can interfere with. Only you can save Qiu Yuan."

Have you investigated the cause?

"My lord, you and the Nine Heavens cannot be together."

Dou Shiliu laughed: "Is that why Qiu Yuan gradually fell into a deep sleep?"

Hou Rong couldn't understand what Dou Shiliu and Yin Ying were saying. He couldn't see Yin Ying's face, but he could hear her voice.

Yin Ying nodded: "I suspect so."

Qiu Yuan, her true form. Qiu Yuan is asleep, while her true form is awakening. It seems that Yan Zhiyun knew that Dou Shiliu was about to wake up, which explains why her journey has come to an end.

Yan Zhiyun is preparing to face her true form.

Dou Shiliu sighed, "I'll be going back to this world soon."

Yin Ying nodded: "I hope my lord will hurry."

As soon as the bamboo leaves fell, Yin Ying's figure disappeared.

"Host, she's gone."

Dou Shiliu nodded, her eyes falling on Hou Rong beside her, a hint of contemplation in her eyes, her true form.

And...her inner demons.

I wonder if her inner demons can fight against her true self.
