Chapter 613: It's Beautiful to Want
Li Juexing was somewhat helpless about Xue Ziye's persistent pursuit, but he had to admit that his words made sense.
He just made eye contact with that old man; who knows if he'll get entangled with him because of it?
Since he had dragged the other party into this mess, Li Juexing hesitated for a moment, but then decided not to refuse again and boarded the plane with Xue Ziye.
It would take three or four hours to get from here to City A, even by plane, and those three or four hours felt like several years to them.
Xue Ziye was alright, at least he had a good night's sleep before coming. Li Juexing and the other two had stayed up all night, and should have closed their eyes and rested well after boarding the plane.
But their tense nerves made it impossible for them to sleep, especially as the sky outside seemed to be getting darker. Li Juexing couldn't help but think of Ye Wanxi's words, "Get back to City A before dark, or the consequences will be unimaginable." He was afraid that if he was delayed by just a few seconds, he wouldn't even have the chance to get off the plane.
After several hours of waiting, the plane finally landed safely.
Li Juexing and his group packed their things immediately and rushed out as fast as they could.
Prior to this, Li Juexing had only had two brief phone conversations with Ye Wanxi, and since Ye Wanxi wore a mask the entire time she entered the airport, Li Juexing couldn't recognize her at all.
But his silly younger brother could see them just the same way, and charged towards them from afar like a wild horse.
"Brother, are you alright? I heard from Miss Ye that you were on your way back again..." Li Weiming's words trailed off, "Brother Xue, why are you also with my brother..."
Li Juexing coughed lightly and pushed away his silly younger brother who was hugging him tightly: "It's a long story. What about that Miss Ye?"
"I'm here."
Li Juexing and the others looked in the direction of the sound and then discovered a person standing not far behind Li Weiming, dressed in casual clothes, wearing a hat and mask, whose face could not be seen at all...
"Miss Ye?"
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi responded, walked up to the group, and held out her hand, "The amulets you have."
Li Juexing and the other man were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and hesitantly handed the amulet to Ye Wanxi.
In just one day, these two amulets had become a source of comfort for them.
As soon as the talisman was handed over, both of them felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts. Moreover, whether it was just their imagination or not, as soon as the talisman left their hands, they felt a chill run from their backs to the back of their heads, making them want to hug their arms and shiver uncontrollably.
Ye Wanxi took the talisman, glanced at it, wiped away the yin energy that had stained it, and then casually made a new magic seal on it before handing it back to Li Juexing and the other person.
The moment they touched it, Li Juexing and the others clearly saw a flash of light on the simple yellow talisman. Then, a comfortable warmth spread from their palms to their limbs and bones, dispelling the chill from their bodies and giving their pale faces a little more color.
“This talisman…” Xue Ziye stood to the side, dumbfounded. It took him a long time to find his voice. He stared at Li Juexing with burning eyes, “Brother Li, what do you think?”
"I feel great." Li Juexing's tired and dull eyes seemed to be injected with vitality, and he returned to his usual bright and energetic appearance.
“When I got off the plane, I felt a little cold. But now…” Li Juexing clenched the yellow talisman in his hand as if he were grasping a lifeline, “I don’t feel cold at all, and I feel very energetic.”
My back doesn't ache anymore, my waist doesn't hurt, I feel great, and I have a great appetite!
Hearing him say that, Xue Ziye became even more certain that the talisman was a good thing, and secretly asked, "Brother Li, do you have any extra talismans? Could you give me one for protection?"
Li Juexing: "..." So young, yet so full of dreams!
"Xiaoming bought this talisman from Miss Ye, and it's the only one I have left..."
As Li Juexing spoke, he winked at Xue Ziye, signaling him to go and beg Ye Wanxi directly.
The talisman maker is right in front of us. As long as we please her, we won't have to worry about not getting good things.
Xue Ziye's eyes brightened slightly: "This one..."
"My last name is Ye."
"Miss Ye, where is the talisman that Brother Li has..."
"have."
"Then can I..."
Xue Ziye looked expectant and nervous. Li Juexing felt bad and couldn't help but say, "Miss Ye, my friend encountered that vengeful ghost on the road today while taking us to the airport. Could you give him a talisman for protection? I'll buy one from you."
As Li Juexing was about to take out his phone to pay, Ye Wanxi smiled, took out a peace charm from her inventory and handed it to Xue Ziye: "Here's a peace charm for you. Put it on today's payment."
The two were overjoyed, but Li Weiming looked around nervously and whispered, "There are too many people here. It's not a good place to talk. Let's go back first. Brother, Mom and Dad are still waiting for you at home. They haven't even eaten much since they didn't see you come back safely all day."
Li Juexing looked apologetic, but before he could speak, Li Weiming turned to Ye Wanxi and said, "It's getting late, Miss Ye, why don't you come back with us? We can have dinner together and check on my brother's situation to see what's going on."
Ye Wanxi was already curious about the family's frequently changing fortunes, and even if Li Weiming hadn't mentioned it, she had originally planned to go to his house to take a look.
"Um."
Li Weiming was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to his parents, telling them that he had picked up his brother and was now preparing to take Ye Wanxi and the others back with him.
When the Li couple heard that Ye Wanxi was also coming, they suddenly became nervous and hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare a few more main dishes, for fear of neglecting their guest.
When Ye Wanxi arrived, she was met with the strange sight of two elders standing at the door, forcing smiles as they welcomed them.
"..." So, are you welcoming me or not?
However, upon meeting him, Ye Wanxi noticed something amiss.
The two members of the Li family were unaware of Ye Wanxi's thoughts. Upon seeing Li Juexing return safely, pure joy couldn't help but appear on their faces.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
After a long day of travel, Li Juexing was finally back in a familiar place, and his heart could finally settle down.
"Auntie, Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you. Although the journey was a bit dangerous, thanks to the talismans Xiaoming gave me before I left and Miss Ye's help, it was all alright."
As Li Juexing spoke, he turned to look at Li Weiming and Ye Wanxi, and said apologetically, "Before I left, Xiaoming had repeatedly tried to stop me from going on this business trip, and warned me that I absolutely, positively should not go near any mountainous areas. I was ignorant and didn't take it seriously. I wasted your efforts and almost harmed Uncle Wang who was traveling with me."
