Today is another day that Feng Su and Hao have returned. They spend most of their time in the military camp now, only returning home once a week.
That day, I pleaded with tears streaming down my face for ages. I was so pathetic, and they all abandoned me.
"Sister, Master, we're back."
I looked at the two men in front of me with a smile; life in the barracks had changed them greatly.
"Here, these are the snacks and toys I bought while shopping a few days ago." I laid out all the things I bought with Jiao'er last time on the table, watching Hao and Feng Su eat heartily.
"By the way, Feng Su, don't you like Leng Ning from Qingyuan?" I took out a few wrapped gift boxes and placed them on the table. "These are some clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics I picked out for Leng Ning. You can give them to her; you can't pursue a girl without giving her a gift."
"Thank you, Master."
"Don't mention it, I'm looking forward to the birth of the little phoenix."
Feng Su's face turned red again. After all this time, Feng Su was still so shy.
"Master, does Liu Lieyu have any good boys now?" Feng Su asked while eating snacks.
“Hmm.” I nodded slightly. “You’s barrier is very useful. He and some of Guixu’s ministers have been imprisoned in a courtyard and can’t get out.”
"Master, I want to go and take a look."
"Feng Su, it's better not to go." I thought about how terrible Liu Lieyu was and tried to dissuade Feng Su.
Although Liu Lieyu is currently imprisoned, it does not mean he has lost his aggressiveness. Just like a wild animal in a zoo, you can observe it from a distance. If you insist on going up to provoke it, aren't you just asking for death?
"Master..." Feng Su looked at me with hopeful eyes.
"No, Feng Su, what are you going to do? He's imprisoned now, so we don't need to worry about him anymore."
"Alright." Seeing my serious expression, Feng Su had no choice but to give up on the idea.
After having eaten the snacks, Feng Su put away the gift boxes on the table and said she was going to find Leng Ning.
I nodded in agreement, "Go ahead. But don't go looking for Liu Lieyu."
"I understand, Master. Don't worry, I promised you I wouldn't go."
"That's good."
After Feng Su left, only Hao and I remained in the room, as You went to handle government affairs.
"Let's go, Hao, I'll take you to Sun and Moon City."
Hao scratched his head. "But I want to go back to the Miasma Forest to see them."
"Go ahead," I sighed, a hint of melancholy in my voice. It was a rare treat for them to come back, and now they were all busy with their own things. I felt a bit like a mother watching her children grow up.
Hao seemed to sense my dejection and comforted me, "Sister, next time I'll definitely spend the whole day with you."
I smiled and pinched Hao's soft little face. "Go ahead, I'm fine."
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Hao kissed me on the cheek before skipping away.
After they left, I quietly cleaned up the mess on the table by myself.
Liu Lieyu's situation under imprisonment is becoming more and more stable. As for Guixu, after learning that their Donghuang was imprisoned, they were originally full of vigor and wanted to fight us to the death.
After Ke You sent a letter to Guixu, Guixu immediately went out, as if a flame had been doused with cold water.
"You, what did you write to them?"
“I told you, Liu Lieyu is with me. If you behave yourselves, I will spare his life. But if you keep making trouble, all you will get is Liu Lieyu’s head.”
I couldn't help but chuckle. Now that the hidden dangers of Guixu were gone, with Liu Lieyu as a hostage, they definitely wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
I laughed for a while and then said, "If you really want to kill Liu Lieyu, don't give them his head. There is a sacred spring in Guixu that can bring Liu Lieyu back to life."
"I know."
"You, now that everything is peaceful, can we go to the human world to play?"
"Of course," You Qian smiled. "Where would you like to go?"
"I don't know either." I held You's hand. "Anyway, let's just go and see where we end up."
"good."
"Shall we go tomorrow?"
"OK."
All night I dreamed of the wonderful life on Earth. I even collected and stored some things unique to the Abyss, hoping they might come in handy when I got there.
I spent the whole night in a state of excitement. I was so excited that I refused to sleep. Dark, piercing eyes were staring at me, and then, I really didn't need to sleep anymore.
We tossed and turned all night before finally going to sleep.
"Nu Xin, Nu Xin. Nu Xin." In my hazy state, I heard someone calling my name repeatedly in my ear.
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness, and in that darkness, a pair of slender eyes were staring intently at me.
"Nüxin, Nüxin. Nüxin." The calls came from all directions.
"Who are you? What do you want?!" No one answered me from the air; only a pair of slender eyes in the darkness and a dense chorus of calls like thunder could be heard.
"Shut up, stop yelling!" I yelled, covering my ears.
But it was no use. The sound slipped into my ears through my fingers, and the pair of slender eyes in the sky turned into countless pairs that kept surrounding me!
"Ah!" I screamed and woke up from my dream. I instinctively wanted to hug You, but there was no one beside me. You was not there!
I could vaguely see a figure by my bedside. When I looked up, I saw an extremely fantastical scene. Was it a dream within a dream? Was I still not awake? I raised my arm and bit it hard.
"Oh, Xin'er is awake." Liu Lieyu's slender eyes bypassed You and looked straight at me. When he saw the red marks on my body, a shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes.
I then noticed a cool sensation on my chest, and I quickly grabbed the blanket and covered myself up completely.
I looked at You standing by my bed. You had obviously been startled awake from your sleep. She had just casually put on an outer garment, and even her hair was a little disheveled.
What on earth is going on? I'm completely baffled. Shouldn't Liu Lieyu have been imprisoned? Why is he by my bedside?
How did you get out?
You spoke up. Liu Lieyu really escaped? And he even came to our bedside without a sound. I felt a chill run down my spine. If we were not careful, You and I might die in our sleep.
Liu Lieyu sneered, "Do you really think your barrier can control us?"
You nodded honestly, "Yes, with your strength, you shouldn't be able to break through my barrier, much less appear in front of me silently."
“Brother, you’re still as arrogant as ever.” Liu Lieyu’s narrow eyes were full of sarcasm. “You were just like that last time too.”
My heart leaped into my throat. I silently used my magic to dress myself. On the bed, I held a short knife in my hand, ready to ambush Liu Lieyu at the first opportunity.
You remained silent, then suddenly made a move, so fast that I didn't even have time to react.
