"Think about how to make the fight more natural," You said, then turned and pulled me aside.
You and I concealed our presence to prevent the locust tree demon from noticing anything.
Shalin and the local landowner discussed something in hushed tones, and then I watched as the landowner handed Shalin an object.
Then, Shalin turned and ran towards the locust tree demon, with the local earth god following closely behind, shouting loudly, "Give my things back!!"
You and I exchanged a glance, then followed closely behind them.
After a few days, the once lush locust tree now looks like rotten wood, lifeless.
It seems the resentment has almost completely drained the locust tree demon. I silently prayed that nothing bad would happen to the locust tree demon.
The two chased each other all the way to the locust tree demon and started fighting. At first, they fought fiercely, but later Sha Lin lost ground.
As the two fought, the local earth god shouted, "Bring out the thing!"
Shalin remained silent, only hurriedly defending against the attacks from the local land.
The local landmines' offensive grew increasingly fierce, and Shalin sustained several injuries.
With a "boom," Shalin fell to the ground as the local land force unleashed its ultimate move, landing precisely at the edge of the barrier, a place where the resentment could reach.
Seeing this, You told me to stay where I was, and he took a fire poker and went to guard the locust tree.
After Shalin fell to the ground, the local earth god went forward and groped around for something. After finding the previous item in Shalin's arms, he got up, cursed, and left.
Sha Lin was injured, but the celestial aura he exuded was absolutely irresistible to any resentment.
Sure enough, not long after the local landman left, black mist began to gather on the trunk of the locust tree.
It seems that resentment is about to manifest!
I covered my mouth, watching everything in front of me nervously. It really worked!
The black mist above the tree trunk grew darker and darker, and it was about to burst out of the wood.
Dark eyes stared intently, the hand holding the fire poker tense, waiting for the resentment to fully emerge.
Half of Yuanli's body was exposed, and it was about to appear completely when You slightly raised the fire poker.
The next second, all the resentment was exposed to the air. Before it could even get close to Shalin, it was completely annihilated by the fire stick in You's hand and turned into a wisp of smoke.
It was a success!
Overjoyed, I ran and jumped into You's arms. "You, you're amazing!" I said, and then gave You a big kiss on the chin.
With a smile, she hugged me tightly and leaned down to kiss my lips.
I was a little shy, since there were other people around.
I nudged You slightly. "Someone's here."
You curled the corners of her lips, looked at me with her dark eyes, and released me as instructed.
Sha Lin, who was lying on the ground, got up after the incident was resolved.
I looked at the decaying locust tree in front of me, feeling a pang of sadness. "You, is he dead?"
You glanced at the locust tree in front of her and shook her head. "Not yet."
After speaking, You stepped forward to transfer his life force to the locust tree demon.
The local landowner also ran back, panting, to see his old friend. He saw You tending to the locust tree's wounds, his eyes slightly red.
With You's help, the locust tree visibly improved.
The tree trunk is no longer withered, and tender green buds are sprouting from the branches.
You withdrew her hand and took a few steps back.
Even though there was no wind blowing, the tree trunk was swaying.
Immediately afterwards, a kind-looking old man appeared from the locust tree.
As soon as the old man came out, he knelt down before You and cried out, "Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life."
"No need to thank me." You's tone remained indifferent.
The old man stood up shakily, clearly showing that this incident had severely damaged his health.
The land behind me stepped forward and joked, "I thought I'd be left with no one to play chess with from now on."
The old man chuckled.
You and I didn't disturb our old friends' reunion.
"Shalin, we're leaving." I turned to say goodbye to Shalin.
Sha Lin nodded, "Respectfully seeing off the Immortal Venerable." He added at the end, "Thank you for speaking well of me before the Heavenly Emperor."
"You deserve it."
After saying goodbye to everyone, we set off again.
It's time to return to the abyss.
When I was in the abyss, I always thought about running out. Now that I'm actually outside, I miss the abyss even more.
"Xin'er, how about taking a stroll in the mortal realm?" You held my hand, a smile playing on her lips.
"No need," I scratched my head. "I'm starting to miss the Abyss."
We've been gone for so long, Feng Su should be worried by now.
"Then go back. Come out whenever you want."
"Okay." I nodded.
Now that we have the Divine Lord's words, we are no longer afraid of Liu Lieyu causing trouble.
We soon returned to the abyss.
As soon as You returned to the abyss, he settled me in and told me to sleep in the palace for a while before he hurriedly left.
We've been gone for so long, there must be a lot of things waiting for You to deal with in the Abyss.
I drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up, I had no idea what day it was.
The empty palace still held only me. I got up from my bed.
This inner palace is far too lonely; there's not a soul in sight. I must tell You about it when I see her later.
I sat on the porch, leaning against a pillar, one leg dangling in mid-air, the other bent and resting on my hand.
As I was thinking, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.
Who is it? These footsteps don't seem to belong to You. I turned around and saw a pretty woman carrying some snacks toward me.
This is. . ?
I stared at the woman's face for a long time before I suddenly remembered that she was Yunling, the messenger who had dressed me when I was pregnant.
Yunling placed the snacks next to me, and I picked one up and asked, "What are you doing here?"
“It was Lord Sun and Moon who sent me to serve you,” Yunling said, bowing slightly.
After saying "Oh," I stopped asking questions and quietly ate my snacks while observing the scenery under the eaves.
Alas, Feng Su is no longer here. I looked in the direction where Feng Su lived.
This guy doesn't miss me at all now.
Before long, I finished the whole pastry.
I can't sit here any longer. You hasn't come, Feng Su is gone, and Hao is nowhere to be seen.
Alright, let's go out for a walk.
I got up, dusted off my clothes, and prepared to go for a stroll in Sun and Moon City.
I rubbed my stomach; I'd eaten something and now I was actually quite hungry.
"I'm going out for a walk. You wait here. If Feng Su or You come back, tell them I've gone out."
"Yes." Yunling bowed slightly but did not say that she wanted to come with me.
After leaving the palace, I went straight to the barbarian mansion, wanting to find Jiao'er.
But I searched the entire Manchu residence and couldn't find Jiao'er anywhere.
Hmm? Jiao'er went out too?
Alas, with my beloved daughter gone, I am left to wander the vast Sun and Moon City all by myself.
I wandered around the streets and decided to have dinner at Yongtai Pavilion.
As soon as I stepped into Yongtai Pavilion, the waiter greeted me and led me upstairs to my familiar spot.
"Miss, it's been a while."
I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I've been held up by some things lately."
