After tidying everything up, Jiang Yuan found that the way back was suddenly clear, and the previously gloomy atmosphere had completely disappeared.
"Sigh, I really did get lost!"
After taking a shower at a well, Jiang Yuan returned to the mud-brick house and saw Ning Yanlan still sleeping with Peppa Pig as her pillow, and remained silent.
"Wow, the fighting outside is so fierce, yet you're sleeping so soundly in your room!" Jiang Yuan felt a backache when he sat down, but Ning Yanlan was fine. Not only was she not bewitched by the evil spirit, but she didn't even wake up. He had to admire her sleep quality.
"Am I at a disadvantage here?!" Jiang Yuan, sitting on the edge of the bed, grew angrier the more he thought about it. He had been drawn out because he saw a figure that resembled Ning Yanlan. "No way, you have to suffer a little too!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan crawled into the quilt where Ning Yanlan was sleeping and shamelessly embraced her as they slept.
Whether it was the unique atmosphere of Tieling Village or something else, the two slept until 10 a.m.
Ning Yanlan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.
"Hmm?" Ning Yanlan seemed a little puzzled when she opened her eyes, thinking to herself, "Did this guy sleep with me again last night?"
"Still pretending to be asleep!" Ning Yanlan didn't even need to look to know that this guy, who woke up more punctually than anyone else, was already awake. "Aren't you going to explain?"
"Good morning!" Jiang Yuan said with a yawn, his arm unconsciously around Ning Yanlan.
"Keep pretending!" Ning Yanlan glared at Jiang Yuan.
"To be honest, you were moaning way too much last night, so I couldn't help myself!" Jiang Yuan deliberately changed the subject.
Speak like a human being!
"Ahem, you were talking in your sleep last night and you were scared, so I couldn't resist holding you and we slept together all night!" Jiang Yuan explained seriously.
"Really?" Ning Yanlan asked with some doubt. "But why don't I remember this?"
“Fear is an instinctive reaction. You know where fear comes from, right?” Jiang Yuan retorted.
"You're really something, all you did was hug her and nothing else so late at night?" Ning Yanlan said with disdain, now having serious doubts about her own charm.
Am I not sexy enough, or are you, Jiang Yuan, too arrogant?
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"What are you looking at? Get up now!" Ning Yanlan said fiercely.
Jiang Yuan was internally devastated. "If I touch you, you call me a beast; if I don't touch you, you call me worse than a beast. Besides, I didn't get back until 4 a.m. last night. Sleeping is the most important thing, okay?"
"Where's Peppa and George?" Ning Yanlan sat up and hugged the two pigs who were still fast asleep. "Hey, aren't they awake yet!"
"It might be at a crucial moment in your advancement!" Jiang Yuan reminded him.
Although the two pigs are still at Tier 2, their attribute points have reached eight, which means that Paige and George have both become Tier 3 boss monsters.
"Give me the bag!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the backpack on the table after getting dressed. Suddenly, she noticed the wooden box on the table and looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise. "You stinky Jiang Yuan, where did you go partying last night?"
"What do you mean, 'go out and have fun'? I've been sleeping the whole time!" Jiang Yuan still wanted to deny it, after all, being tempted by a ghost was too embarrassing.
"Then what is this thing!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the wooden box containing the Heavenly Soul Child. "I didn't see it last night!"
Jiang Yuan deeply felt the embarrassment of not being able to use the storage ring, so he had no choice but to recount what had happened last night in detail.
"last night……"
That's how things unfolded!
Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"You're saying this thing is the culprit that destroyed Tieling Village?" Ning Yanlan's expression turned serious.
"It should be!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Then why don't you throw it away? This thing carries calamity and will bring you bad luck!" Ning Yanlan said immediately.
"What era are we living in? Still so superstitious!" Jiang Yuan laughed. "Once I awaken its spirit, this thing can recognize its master and is no weaker than a substitute doll!"
The Celestial Soul Child is far superior to the Substitute Doll. Jiang Yuan has only tapped one ten-thousandth of its potential. As for its greater uses, they can only be discovered after the Spirit Awakening.
"Right, we need to hurry up and find Xiao Xin. She must have been terrified all night!" Ning Yanlan thought of Xiao Xin as soon as she heard about the substitute dolls, and immediately put Peppa Pig and George Pig into her backpack.
"Keep this with you too, otherwise it's really awkward to carry around a whole box!"
As Ning Yanlan was stuffing things into her storage ring, Jiang Yuan handed the Heavenly Soul Child to her.
"Aren't you afraid I won't return something so valuable?" Ning Yanlan joked.
"I'd love for you not to pay me back, so I'll have an excuse to make you pay!" Jiang Yuan retorted defiantly.
"You wish! You think you can trade me, Ning Yanlan, for just one Celestial Soul Child?" Ning Yanlan pouted. "At least two!"
"Ha ha!"
Just as the old man had said, Tieling Village in the morning was completely different from that at night. The fog had lifted, revealing the road leading to the exit of Tieling Mountain.
However, without the Heavenly Soul Child, Tieling Village can return to normal, or rather, it can't be considered normal anymore. After all, with people dead, the village is empty, and Tieling Village can no longer be considered a village.
At most, it can only be considered a burial ground after a catastrophe, burying those unfortunate people who were born at the wrong time.
If the Earth is destroyed, no one will be spared; the cruel law of survival of the fittest will be reenacted in every corner of the world.
"Look, it's the Storm Squad's vehicle, and there's a tent over there too, they must be there!"
Even from 800 meters away, Ning Yanlan became excited. Jiang Yuan had already noticed, but he was too preoccupied with the loss of the Holy Spirit Stone to be happy.
Paige and George woke up, and just as Jiang Yuan had guessed, both pigs had become Tier 3 Lords.
After waking up, the two pigs started thinking about the Holy Spirit Stone again. Ning Yanlan was naturally very willing to feed them one stone after another. However, under Jiang Yuan's strong request, Ning Yanlan changed her feeding strategy.
