Chapter 295 Some are happy, some are sad
They confirmed that the girl in their arms had fallen into a deep sleep.
The melodious flute music, as clear as a spring, from Wen Jin's lips slowly subsided.
His gaze fell on Huali's profile, and he quietly withdrew the hand that had been patting her back.
The real breaking of the curse has only just begun.
Huali is a cautious and vigilant person. If this Gu is planted through contact, she will definitely sense it.
He had investigated the area several times before but had not noticed anything unusual.
This reminded him of a special kind of spiritual energy fluctuation—sound.
It's not an attack, but rather a provocation of lust, a variation of decadent music.
The killing intent in Wen Jin's eyes was almost tangible.
Even the mighty Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
What if Karin hadn't met him...?
The mere assumption caused even the flowing night wind to wail in anguish.
Wen Jin took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent for the time being.
His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and with fluid movements, the intricate and complex magic array solidified. Wen Jin's palms faced down, and the array hovered faintly above Hua Li's heart.
The primordial essence silently spread from the Demon Lord's palm, transforming into a thin, visible mist that carried the aura of the soul's origin, and descended towards Hua Li's heart meridian and dantian.
Displacement! The formation rapidly began to rotate in reverse!
The fiery heat within Huali's body was instantly drawn away by the powerful essence and continuously transferred to Wen Jin's body.
As Wen Jin frowned in frustration, Hua Li unconsciously rubbed against his clothes and drifted into a deeper sleep.

Linfeng County.
A rare look of irritation crossed Qi Ran's eyes.
Not only is Fu Yan's favorability rating slow to rise, but it's also causing Li Yuan and Zhan Li's to fluctuate.
When Mu Feng's shadow came looking for her, Qi Ran had just exchanged points for goodwill points. Even if she went, she couldn't cure Madam Mu's illness, so she had no choice but to avoid seeing him.
Qi Ran rubbed her throbbing temples: "Xiao Tong, the missions in this world are too difficult. It's hard to complete them by just earning points on my own. Can't headquarters think of a way?"
She sighed and stood on the third floor of the inn, gazing out from the railing. "I remember a mission participant had a similar experience before. Headquarters used a 'Luck Siphon Field' on her to forcibly increase the Luck Child's favorability."
Qi Ran's voice carried a longing she herself didn't realize, "What about us? Even if we exert less effort, it will still be better than what we are now."
Xiao Tong: "I completely understand the host's concerns. If it were just the host as the mission taker, it would be fine, but now that there's Hua Li, the difficulty has indeed increased. However, the 'Qi Siphon Field' is a high-level external intervention. Moreover, it's not applicable to every small world."
Qi Ran paused for a moment, "How will we know if we don't try? Request permission."
Xiaotong: "Okay."
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the system paused for a few moments before speaking again: "Host, the application has been rejected. Headquarters cannot approve any form of external intervention protocol for the current small world."
Qi Ran's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. She pressed on, "Why? What's the reason?"
Xiao Tong paused for a moment, then said, "The reason can be categorized as a conflict of underlying rules."
"Is there a problem with the items in the shop? Or is it conflicting with some kind of rule of this world?" Qi Ran thought for a moment, then her expression changed to one of understanding.
"That explains it. I was wondering why Wen Jin remained unmoved after so much goodwill. Is this the reason?"
Xiao Tong denied it, "That's not the case. The items in the mall are without defects. The energy projection path is also unobstructed."
"Preliminary analysis suggests that the anomaly lies at the receiving end—the individual will of the target task."
"They have become more resistant to external guidance, or rather, their 'anchoring' of their own emotional flow has exceeded the highest value of all historical cases in the database."
"Anchoring?"
"Yes, their emotional feedback mechanism seems... to no longer follow the 'routine' we're familiar with. And the favorability points redeemed in the mall are essentially an 'acceleration' or 'amplification' of this emotional feedback."
“If they themselves begin to subconsciously reject such ‘catalytic inputs,’ acceleration and amplification will not occur.”
Without soil, how can there be growth? Without a fuse, how can there be an explosion?
Qi Ran: "......"
What is Ranran thinking about?
A clear and gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind me, like a pebble thrown into a deep pool.
Qi Ran turned around and saw Wen Tingyun, dressed in a blue robe, sitting in a rosewood wheelchair where the window frame met the fading twilight.
"Tingyun, what brings you here?" She quickly composed herself.
"It's rare to see you so lost in thought," Wen Tingyun tilted his head slightly, a genuinely gentle smile on his handsome face. "Why don't you tell me about it?"
Qi Ran laughed along, "It's nothing, it's just that Yunshang Yinyu's competition is coming up soon, and I can't help feeling a little nervous about going on stage to perform."
Wen Tingyun's smile remained, but a quick, probing glint flashed in his deep eyes.
"It's alright. Ranran is beautiful and intelligent, and she will surely amaze everyone." He opened the fan in his hand, his tone still relaxed and casual, as if he were just casually mentioning an unimportant name: "Speaking of which, the judges for this year's Yunshang Yinyu competition, including the young master of Linfeng County, are also among them."
Seeing Qi Ran looking over, Wen Tingyun smiled and teased, "Ranran is probably going to attract another admirer."
Qi Ran was taken aback and gave him a reproachful look. "Young Master is a gentleman of upright character, not someone who judges by appearance."
Her gaze naturally fell on Wen Tingyun's legs. "Once I gather the four divine artifacts and enhance my spiritual power, I will be able to heal your legs." Qi Ran stood beside Wen Tingyun, looking down at him. "Tingyun, don't worry. I will do what I promised you."
Wen Tingyun raised his eyelashes and looked into Qi Ran's bright eyes, which were filled with concern and promise for his "future," as well as an air of self-righteous "foresight."
She probably didn't even realize it herself, but that instinctive sense of superiority stemming from her all-knowing insight.
Wen Tingyun tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair.
"With such kindness, Tingyun is deeply grateful."

"Stop with the nonsense!" Hua Li sneered at Ao Bai, who had been fooling around all night. "If you can't take it anymore, let's get out of here as soon as possible!"
The steward, feeling utterly helpless, exclaimed, "Even King Meow Meow went to work! Was I playing? I was searching for lost beauty!"
After wandering the streets and alleys yesterday, it became even more certain that it must have been here sometime ago.
But when I tried to think about it further, my memories seemed to be sealed away, leaving me with no clue whatsoever.
Actually, it originally wanted to come back last night, but halfway across the water, it saw two people kissing, which scared the Meow King so much that it jumped into the water and dog-paddled away.
It's still a baby, and babies can't see this.
Before Huali could say anything more, Wen Jin had already walked over from behind.
The misty rain of Jiangnan is only a fleeting moment.
The beauty, pain, and murderous intent of last night evaporated along with the moisture from the lotus pond.
Wen Jin changed back into his dark-patterned robes, his black hair slightly damp, and he exuded the chill of the lake.
Huali's finger, pointing at Ao Bai, twitched slightly, looking somewhat awkward.
If you're wondering which company is best at crashing, then...
The entire army was wiped out! Completely wiped out!!
Wen Jin seemed not to notice Hua Li's hesitation, reached out and took her hand, his expression natural, "Let's go."
Huali secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Let's go!"
The matter is settled; it's time to settle accounts.
