Ye Xin stood in mid-air, looking towards the city gate from afar. That direction was Yang Xiaoxiao's hiding place.
She flew back to the pile of stones and lifted the barrier that remained on them.
Yang Xiaoxiao's body trembled slightly, and she raised her head from between her legs. She looked at the person who came, and said with a hoarse voice and a sad smile, "Benefactor, is it resolved?"
Ye Xin landed, nodded, then shook her head, "The monster has been dealt with, and the only ones left are the dead citizens."
Yang Xiaoxiao got up from the ground. Her legs were numb from curling up for a long time. Her body swayed and she fell heavily to the ground.
Ye Xin reached out his hand in time, but was gently pushed away by her.
Yang Xiaoxiao stood up again and looked at Ye Xin with red eyes, "My benefactor, I can do it myself, what do you need me to do?"
Ye Xin withdrew her hand and pointed behind her, "Let me ask you again, are you sure you want to see your family one last time?"
Yang Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, "My benefactor, I want to see my family for the last time."
Ye Xin still couldn't bear it, so she simply described the miserable state of the city residents to her. "Even though they are no longer what they used to be, do you still want to see them?"
Yang Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from her face and expressed her determination with actions.
"Yes, I want to see it."
Ye Xin's attempts to persuade her were fruitless, so she had no choice but to take Yang Xiaoxiao to find her relatives.
Yang Xiaoxiao walked step by step on the stone slabs, looking at the street next to her with tears in her eyes. This was her hometown, where she had lived for seventeen years.
Mom and Dad, I am an unfilial daughter and ultimately failed to fulfill our promise.
She returned to the prefectural mansion with a familiar route, and with trepidation, she pushed open the bloodstained door. But just as she took a step, Ye Xin called her out.
She looked back in confusion, her eyes full of bewilderment.
"Don't go in, there's no one inside." Ye Xin pressed his aching temple, turned around and left.
Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't hide her disappointment. Her parents were not at home, so how could she find them in such a huge crowd of people?
Ye Xin thought for a while, walked up and pulled out a strand of Yang Xiaoxiao's hair, letting the hair lead them to find someone.
The two followed the hair all the way back to the street where the magic circle was.
Although Yang Xiaoxiao had made sufficient preparations, she was still frightened and unable to move when she saw the appearance of the citizens.
Ye Xin kept an eye on Yang Xiaoxiao. If she really couldn't bear it, she would knock her out and take her away.
But Yang Xiaoxiao surprised Ye Xin. After her initial fear, she overcame her inner fear with her strong willpower.
She walked nervously to where the hair was hovering and recognized her parents among the crowd.
After just one look, Yang Xiaoxiao's newly built defenses collapsed. She knelt before the two charcoal-like corpses and kowtowed loudly, "Dad and Mom, I'm late. I'm unfilial."
Seeing that she was knocking her head harder and harder, Ye Xin quickly pulled her up and said, "Okay, okay, if you knock your head again, you can lose it."
Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes were red with tears, her head buried in her hands, sobbing silently.
Ye Xin patted her shoulder and sprinkled some soothing powder on it.
Under the effect of the powder, Yang Xiaoxiao slowly calmed down. She shrugged her head and apologized to Ye Xin for losing control. "My benefactor, it's my fault. I still couldn't control myself."
Ye Xin gently wiped away the tears from Yang Xiaoxiao's face and comforted her softly, "You are very brave to have come this far. Emotions are innate, and it is normal that you can't control them."
Of course, there are also some people who have no emotions, like her original body.
"See your parents one last time! It's time for them to go."
Yang Xiaoxiao raised her head and engraved the appearance of her parents into her mind.
Dad and Mom, rest assured and go to your next life! My benefactor has already avenged you. If there is an afterlife, I will continue to be your daughter.
After Yang Xiaoxiao said goodbye to her family, Ye Xin prepared to send them to be reincarnated.
The citizens of the city were killed by the fallen demons, and their souls were completely corroded. If they were to reincarnate like this, the reincarnation pool would not be able to absorb all the power of the fallen demons.
And once there is a leak, someone will be reincarnated with these evil forces, and when they are born again, it will be an overwhelming disaster.
Since the traditional reincarnation method was not working, she could only use an unconventional method. However, this method was quite dangerous, and she didn't know if the intermediate world could withstand it.
Ye Xin was floating in the sky, touching the stars on his arms to summon the stars themselves.
She closed her eyes, and the scepter in her hand began to heat up. The sky above her head, which was still relatively clear, suddenly dimmed, and countless stars appeared.
The star at the top of the scepter suddenly emitted a warm yellow light, which attracted the stars in the sky. They streaked across the sky like meteors and all landed near the stars.
Ye Xin raised the scepter in her hand above her head. The stars on her arm and the scepter's starlight intertwined. She slowly opened her eyes, and the starlight in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"In my name, grant all living beings the power of purification."
Behind Ye Xin, the stars in the sky suddenly exploded. They turned into countless starlights and penetrated into the bodies of the citizens, purifying the power of fallen demons in their bodies.
Under the warm yellow starlight, flesh grew on the shriveled bodies of the citizens, and their exposed internal organs returned to their original places.
They regained their appearance before death, and all looked up at Ye Xin in the sky with a relieved smile.
Ye Xin waved the scepter in his hand again, and the power of the brilliant stars covered the sky above the city. The bodies of all the citizens became transparent and disappeared on the spot little by little.
Yang Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to them, seemed to sense something. She turned around and met two burning gazes. They waved to Yang Xiaoxiao and then disappeared.
Yang Xiaoxiao knelt down and kowtowed to them three times respectfully.
Dad and Mom, take care.
.........
Ye Xin came down from the sky only after everyone had left. She took back the stars and leaned against the wall, looking very tired.
Damn! She was so exhausted that all her elemental power was almost drained away.
Yang Xiaoxiao helped Ye Xin sit down, "My benefactor, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Ye Xin leaned against the wall and sat quietly for a while. After feeling the elemental power in his body was replenished, he and Yang Xiaoxiao left.
As for the magic circle on the ground, after the two left, it turned into dust and was buried underground.
Before leaving, Yang Xiaoxiao ran home. Not long after, she ran out of the prefectural government office carrying a large package.
Yang Xiaoxiao was panting. She put down the package and took out a large bag of gold and silver jewelry from it.
"My benefactor, I know these things are far from enough to repay you for saving my life, but this is the only thing I can offer you right now. I hope you can accept it."
Ye Xin took the heavy package and took a quick look. It was full of girls' gold and silver jewelry, and ten silver bills with a face value of ten thousand each were placed on top.
She picked out a few exquisitely crafted hairpins, returned them to Yang Xiaoxiao, and looked at her jokingly, "Do you want to practice?"
Ye Xin said something completely irrelevant, which petrified the nervous Yang Xiaoxiao.
Cultivate? Can she do it?
