Feeling that all sounds, demonic energy, and ghostly energy in the cave had disappeared, Yu Ke, Ji Jue, Lang Yuan, and Ling Xi entered one after another.
At that moment, Li Molin sat up and put away the soul-summoning incantation, looking at Liuli with a nervous expression.
After Yu Ke and the others entered the cave, Yu Ke and Ji Jue both looked at Li Molin. When they found that Li Molin's cultivation had indeed dropped by half and his vital energy had been reduced by half, just as the legends said, the two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Lang Yuan glanced at Li Molin, then looked indifferently at Liu Li. Ling Xi, on the other hand, had fixed her gaze on Liu Li as soon as she entered the cave. At this moment, she jumped down and squatted down next to Liu Li, watching her nervously.
The cave was unusually quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
Time passed slowly, and because of the quiet, it seemed to pass even more slowly. Since the soul-summoning ritual had reunited Liuli's soul and body, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed.
Finally, Liuli's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Liuli!"
"elder sister!"
Both Li Molin and Lingxi were overjoyed.
Liuli blinked a few times, her eyes filled with confusion. She stared at the uneven cave ceiling, her mind a complete blank. She frowned and subconsciously began to sort out her thoughts. Gradually, she remembered everything that had happened since she was born, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall what her emotions were when these things happened.
She thought of everyone she had known since birth, but she didn't know how she felt about them.
Grandmother, Monk Jiawu, Bailing, Li Molin, Yu Ke, Ji Jue, Lingxi, Langyuan, and... the little monk.
"Little monk?" Liuli tilted her head, wondering in confusion, "Who is the little monk?"
At this moment, Liuli felt many eager gazes around her. She scanned Li Molin and the others one by one, and after a while, she recognized who they were.
She was somewhat unaccustomed to such ardent gazes and such close proximity, so she sat up and retreated little by little until she sat against the cave wall, hugging her knees, her eyes watching Li Molin and the others with unusual indifference and vigilance.
"Liuli?" Li Molin was taken aback. He moved to walk over, but Liuli frowned and said coldly, "Don't come any closer!"
Li Molin paused, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He asked in confusion, "Liuli, what's wrong? Do you still recognize me?"
Liu Li nodded indifferently and said, "I remember you. Your name is... Li Molin. Don't come any closer. Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
“Okay.” Li Molin felt reassured and nodded gently, “You just woke up, so you must not be used to it yet. Think about it carefully first, don’t rush.”
Liuli lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
Since her birth, everything has gone through her mind. Faint memories flash by, while vivid memories appear clearer. She noticed that in those clear images, she could always see the figure of a gray-robed monk. His name seemed to be... Shi Chan, and she was used to calling him Little Monk.
Finally, all the images froze on the last image in her memory: the monk named Shichan who killed her.
Liuli frowned. She remembered that she had saved the monk's life many times, but the monk had killed her! What right did he have?!
A terrifying aura flashed in Liuli's eyes, and an overwhelming hatred filled her heart, causing her eyes to turn red and her breathing to become rapid.
She suddenly raised her head and asked angrily, "Where is Monk Shichan? Where is that monk? What right did he have to kill me? I tried my best to save him, but he killed me instead. What right did he have?!"
Upon hearing Liuli's words, Li Molin and the others were all stunned. Li Molin hesitated for a moment, then said, "That monk isn't here right now, but don't worry, Liuli, I will definitely catch him and make you kill him with your own hands."
"Okay, okay..." Liuli gasped for breath, calming her anger slightly. She asked in confusion, "Then...wasn't I dead? Where is this...? Am I not dead? I clearly remember dying..."
Looking at Liuli's bewildered and confused face with heartache, Li Molin slowly took a few steps closer to her and said gently, "Liuli, I saved you with a soul-summoning ritual. You won't die, you'll be alright..."
"A soul-summoning spell..." Liuli frowned and pondered for a moment, recalling the soul-summoning spell Li Molin had once told her about. He said that to revive a recently deceased being using a soul-summoning spell, the caster must sacrifice half of their cultivation and vital energy—a very heavy price to pay. So...
A chilling sense of vigilance suddenly swept through Liuli's heart. She looked up at Li Molin and asked sharply, "Why did you save me? What do you want from me?!"
Li Molin was completely stunned. He stared at Liuli in astonishment, and the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger.
Li Molin remained silent for a long time, which made Liuli increasingly uneasy. She frowned and pressed him for an answer: "You sacrificed half of your cultivation and energy to save me. What exactly are you planning?"
At this moment, Liuli was on high alert and wary, her wide-open eyes showing a cold and indifferent expression, completely different from the Liuli of the past.
Yu Ke looked at Liu Li from afar, frowned in confusion, and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Young Master, I just remembered something!"
Li Molin's eyes remained fixed on Liuli; he didn't turn his head and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
Yu Ke frowned and replied, "I seem to have read about the characteristics of the Soul Summoning Spell in the records of divine artifacts. The records say that the Soul Summoning Spell has miraculous effects that can revive the dead. However, in addition to the well-known fact that the caster pays a heavy price, there is also a speculation that since the Soul Summoning Spell is a demonic artifact, if it is used to revive a demon, the difference between the demon and the person before and after might not be too great. But if it is used to revive another being who does not practice demonic arts, it might cause that being to... drastically change in temperament."
