Seeing that it didn't say it needed his help with the treatment, Qin Luo pretended to be nonchalant.
I just kept asking it when it would leave.
Ti Yuan said she still had some things to pack and could only leave early the next morning.
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo didn't say anything more.
In this situation, we have no choice but to accept whatever it says.
There was nothing I could do but obey.
Then, Ti Yuan asked about interesting things happening in the human world.
Since Qin Luo had nothing better to do, she told it many folk tales.
Ti Yuan listened with great interest, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Qin Luo even wondered if she was overthinking things.
A demon whose mouth waters at the mere mention of pastries and candied hawthorns.
How bad could it be? Tengteng also felt sorry for pricking it.
She even considered asking Qin Luo to take a look at it, but seeing how engrossed the two of them were in their conversation...
Thinking that Ti Yuan was a thousand-year-old demon, she should be fine.
She didn't mention it again until Ti Yuan suddenly stiffened all over.
With only its two eyeballs able to move, Qin Luo realized that the poison it had been poisoned with hadn't been neutralized yet.
I quickly used my wood-based abilities to protect its heart meridian and then used my healing powers to detoxify it.
Ti Yuan was poisoned and turned into a hardened plant demon, but she didn't blame Teng Teng at all.
Instead, they became even more determined to obtain it, having lived for over a thousand years.
They never took any plant toxins seriously.
But what I didn't expect was that such a small vine was so poisonous.
It was exactly what the demon wanted; Tengteng felt extremely uncomfortable being seen by it.
It burrowed directly into Qin Luo's clothes, which Qin Luo assumed was out of guilt.
He then ignored it and cured Ti Yuan of the poison.
She even apologized to it again on behalf of Tengteng, but Tiyuan showed great magnanimity.
He simply said he didn't care and left the side hall under the pretext of packing his things.
The reason it said it would leave tomorrow was because it wanted its physical body and demon soul to completely merge.
Retrieve the magical artifact that Ming Yi placed at the bottom of the lake, because Qin Luo used it to break the seal.
She will inevitably be injured by the restrictions, or even die.
The auspicious beast on the lake will certainly not let me go.
So he prepared to retrieve the magical artifact that night, ready to deal with it.
But now, with the vine's poison, it felt that relying solely on magical artifacts might not be enough.
We need to think of another way; once Ti Yuan leaves...
Qin Luo then pulled Tengteng out.
"Teng, why did you suddenly prick it? Did you sense something?"
Teng Teng scratched at the leaves with her vines, unsure if she was imagining things.
"It was too enthusiastic towards me. It even tried to touch me just now, and the look in its eyes made me feel uncomfortable all over."
Qin Luo recalled Ti Yuan's attitude and also felt it was somewhat strange.
"Could it have some ulterior motive? But it doesn't seem like it. I see a genuine longing for the outside world in its eyes..."
Her words left Tengteng quite confused.
After all, Ti Yuan really doesn't look like a bad demon.
"Maybe I'm being too sensitive and don't like being touched by demons. We'll be able to leave tomorrow. If there's anything you don't understand, ask us after we meet up with Zai Zai."
"You're right. I wonder what our little one is doing now, and if he misses us a lot."
"It's definitely helping you get revenge!"
Qin Luo smiled as soon as she thought about it.
"Yeah, the Gu Diao is definitely going to get a really bad beating, hahaha~"
As they were talking, they heard a demon outside asking to see them.
Then, Junhuai walked over with Yue Dai.
"Doctor, where is Ti Yuan? Isn't it here?"
Seeing Le Dai's hurried manner, Qin Luo knew they had come because of the Gu Diao's words.
"It left not long ago; it said it went to pack its things."
Upon hearing this, Junhuai felt very strange.
Ti Yuan has already retrieved her main body, so logically her belongings should have been taken away as well.
What else is there to tidy up? But it didn't show it on its face.
"Alright, then Le Dai and I will go look for it. You all rest first. There's a succession ceremony tonight, and all the spirits from the bottom of the lake will come. I hope you can attend too!"
"Okay, we'll definitely go."
After nodding, Junhuai left with Le Dai.
They did not appear until the succession ceremony began that evening.
The same goes for Ti Yuan; Qin Luo and Tengteng both found it very strange.
Could it be that there's some great treasure they're trying to take away, and the three demons haven't finished collecting it yet?
Strange as it may be, it's ultimately their private matter.
Neither of them would presume to inquire, and as time passed...
The moon was almost in the middle of the lake, but the three demons still hadn't appeared.
Not to mention Qin Luo and Tengteng, even the spirits were anxious.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a change of lake owner? Why haven't the old and new owners arrived?"
"Who knows? Maybe the former owner has changed his mind?"
"No way, could they have started fighting somewhere and that's why the ceremony was delayed?"
"You know what, you really can't believe it, it's not impossible!"
Just as everyone was discussing this, a sudden tremor startled all the spirits.
"Did your jinx come true? What do we do now? Whose side should we take?"
"Is there even a need to choose? Of course, we should help our old master, since he's the most powerful!"
"Yes, yes, and our former master has been incredibly kind to us, so we mustn't let him down at this crucial moment."
"If you don't want it to feel disheartened, why are you still calling for its former master?"
"Bah! What new master or old master? It's the Lake Master! Let's go, let's go to the epicenter!"
"Let's go, let's go..."
Seeing that all the spirits had left, Qin Luo and Tengteng naturally followed.
As soon as the group of demons reached the forbidden zone at the bottom of the lake, a whirlpool suddenly exploded before their eyes.
A column of water, shrouded in a dark gray demonic aura, shot skyward, and Junhuai was thrown out of the whirlpool by Tiyuan.
