Time passed slowly, and the sun reached its zenith.

The spirit was drenched in sweat. It raised its wrist, checked the time, and saw that it was already 1:30 pm.

After climbing for more than three hours, a Taoist temple with an ancient and simple design appeared in front of the spirit.

"We've finally arrived..."

The spirit breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bottle of mineral water from its backpack, unscrewed the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Um, thank you for your hard work."

Qing Ning had just taken a nap, and now, rubbing her eyelids, she sat up in the soul space. "Now it's your turn to rest here. Let me do it."

Lime stepped forward and took control of the spirit body.

The spirit slumped in the soul space and breathed a comfortable sigh of relief.

This is awesome! Damn, this soul space is just like a small room in the outside world.

There's even air conditioning inside!

Televisions, game consoles, everything is available.

Not far from the spirit, there was even a refrigerator filled with drinks.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself..."

The spirit's lips twitched, and it spoke slowly.

"Hey, this is nothing."

Qing Ning pouted and walked towards the Taoist temple, fanning herself with her hand as she went. "It's so hot outside. I regret switching with you. It's much more comfortable inside."

"Alright, you've been feeling comfortable for so long, it's time to get out and exercise."

The spirit rolled its eyes and said.

Qing Ning pursed her lips, reached out, and gently knocked on the door of the Taoist temple.

Not long after, a child's voice came from inside the Taoist temple: "Who is it?"

"Little Taro Ball, open the door quickly, it's me!"

"I love it," said Qing Ning cheerfully.

"Squeak—"

The gates of the Taoist temple slowly opened, and an adorable bald-headed young Taoist boy peeked out, looking at Qing Ning curiously, and said, "Esteemed benefactor, how did you know my name is Yu Yuan?"

Over the years, Qing Ning's appearance has changed, and the young Taoist priest in front of her did not recognize her.

"I am your sister Qingning. Is your master here? I want to take my secret technique."

Qing Ning stepped into the Taoist temple, then squatted down, patted Xiao Yuyuan's head, and said with a smile, "Who shaved your head like that? It looks awful."

"My master is not here; he has gone down the mountain."

Little Taro pouted and said with deep resentment, "It's all his fault. He insisted that getting a haircut down the mountain was too expensive, and that he could do it himself. He made me believe him, and in the end... he shaved it like this."

"Hahahaha, your master is too ruthless! How could he be so cruel!"

Qing Ning was overjoyed, looking at the adorable little Taoist boy in front of her. His head was like a round, white dumpling, so cute!

Qing Ning couldn't resist touching it a few more times, and also pinched Xiao Yuyuan's cheeks.

Qing Ning felt that Xiao Yuyuan's cheeks were smooth and fair, and felt wonderful to pinch.

"Hmm... Sister Qingning, you've possessed someone else's body again?"

The little taro ball grimaced as the lime pinched it, but it still stood there obediently without resisting.

A long time ago, Qingning and he had a very good relationship. Back then, she would often come here and take him out to play.

Little Taro Balls has a very good impression of limes.

However... Qing Ning always came here when she suddenly remembered Taro Balls while on a mission.

This resulted in Little Taro Ball always playing with a stranger, even though that person was his familiar Sister Lime.

But... Little Taro Ball always felt something was strange.

After all, sometimes Qingning is an older man, sometimes a high school girl, and sometimes a tall athlete, which makes it hard for Xiaoyuyuan to adapt, even though he is very happy when he plays with Qingning.

This time, it was a woman who looked like a high school student, and judging by her appearance alone, she was much better looking than the others.

At least he's not a pot-bellied middle-aged man...

"No, this time it's my true form. But this time, Sister Qingning doesn't have a mission. I want to take the secret technique that I have here, and then help another sister come out of my body."

Qing Ning smiled and readily admitted it.

"So that's how it is."

Little Taro Ball nodded seriously, then broke free from Qing Ning's grasp, turned around, and ran towards the house behind her with her little hands outstretched. "Sister Qing Ning, wait for me, I'm going to get your secret technique."

"Okay, thank you, Little Taro Ball."

Qing Ning smiled and waved her hand.

After a while, Little Taro Ball came over, carrying a small black box, and said as she walked, "Sister Qingning, this is for you. You left it here for too long, and it got so dusty. I even wiped it clean for you, and now there's no dust at all."

"Really? It's so clean!"

Qing Ning took the small box and exclaimed in amazement, "It looks brand new! The taro balls are amazing!"

"hey-hey……"

Little Taro Ball scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

Qingning opened the small black box, and immediately, a stream of cyan energy flowed out from inside the box, instantly entering Qingning's mind.

The spirit felt as if it had just been watching a show in its soul space, and then its soul instantly returned to a strange physical body.

What's going on?

The spirit scratched its head, somewhat at a loss.

Looking at the unfamiliar space around him, the spirit stretched out his hand and immediately felt a sense of control over his own arm.

It was as if one's spirit had never left the body.

"How amazing..."

The spirit picked up the mirror on the table, looked at the beautiful face reflected in it, touched it, and disbelief flashed in its beautiful eyes.

"Lime, thank you..."

The spirit took a deep breath, put down the mirror, got up, dressed, and went out after opening the door.

The environment here looks just like a hotel.

I don't know where the lime came from.

But one thing is certain: from now on, there will be no more spirits in the world, only yourself!

A woman named Ya!

[...]

Inside the Xiaokunshan Taoist Temple.

Little Taro Ball, with her hands clasped together, looked curiously into Qing Ning's eyes and said, "I didn't expect Sister Qing Ning to act so quickly. She's already going back? She's a little too impatient."

"Little Taro Ball, I'll come and play with you after I finish this mission. As for the spirit... she's already gone back. Ya, you'd better not rest either, hurry down the mountain and go to the airport. I don't like waiting for people. If you don't take my request seriously... hehe, be careful I'll castrate you."

Qingning looked up at the sky and suddenly spoke.
