"Of course you can, but sis, now that the stone monster has shrunk so much, does that mean you've subdued it?"
Liu Zhan watched as Yue Jiu Nian put the stones away and asked curiously.
Yue Jiu Nian shook her head and said, "No, this stone has a special connection with us, so I want to take it with me. Don't be afraid, it won't eat people."
When Liu Zhan heard Yue Jiu Nian say that, he didn't want Yue Jiu Nian to know that he was actually a coward. He pretended to be brave and said, "Okay, actually I'm not that scared now. I was just frightened by its appearance when I first saw it."
Yue Jiu nodded and gave him a push: "Oh, it's good that you're not afraid. Let's hurry up, it'll get dark soon if we can't find the cave."
They set off again to find the cave. Because they kept getting lost before, Yue Jiu Nian asked Liu Zhan to try his best to remember the route so that they wouldn't get lost again.
"Um, I remember the cave entrance wasn't very big, and there was a large rock at the entrance, but it was long and tall, and there was a tree next to it..."
As Liu Zhan walked, he recalled, "Tsk, why can't I find it?"
As Yue Jiu listened to Liu Zhan's description, she also began to look around. Suddenly, when she turned around to look behind her, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a tall rock diagonally opposite the cave they had been in, with many green plants wrapped around it.
Yue Jiu Nian grabbed Liu Zhan, who was continuing to walk forward: "Hey, look back, isn't that the stone you're looking for?"
Liu Zhan looked back in confusion at the direction Yue Jiu Nian was pointing and said, "Hey? It looks a bit like that. Let's go check if it's there."
Yue Jiu Nian was also a little excited: "Let's go back. No wonder we've been looking for so long. It was actually nearby. We never even thought of looking here, so we wasted our time."
The rock they saw was indeed long and narrow, and there was a tree next to it. After the two of them crossed the tree, they saw the cave behind the tree.
"Phew~ Finally found it!"
As soon as Yue Jiu saw the cave, she immediately rushed inside without hesitation. Liu Zhan saw her running so fast and followed behind her, saying, "Hey, slow down, it's a bit messy in there."
What Liu Zhan meant by "chaotic" was actually that there were a lot of rocks in the cave. When Yue Jiu Nian saw that the cave was full of broken stones and looked like a disaster area after an earthquake, she felt very uneasy.
Actually, the cave is quite long. The part in front of the entrance is still quite clean with no rocks, but after going in, it's all rocks.
"How could this be? This is the exact location!"
As Yue Jiu entered the cave, she saw a corner and began to search through the rocks, trying to find something underneath.
Seeing Yue Jiu's actions, Liu Zhan stopped her and said, "You don't need to look anymore. There's nothing here except your short sword. When those people brought me here, this place was still very clean. They searched here, but they didn't find anything. So in the end, they used explosives to blow this place up. These stones are what they blasted out."
Upon hearing Liu Zhan's words, Yue Jiu Nian stopped searching, because she couldn't sense her own true form's aura here at all. She asked Liu Zhan, "How did you find my short sword? Where was it?"
"Yes, it was over there. Those people were afraid of dying, so they tied me up with a rope and used a flashlight to let me go in and scout the way. I was very scared at the time."
"Hmm, it seems I stepped on the short sword when I got to this spot. Your short sword is two swords joined together; it's quite thick, and it startled me."
Liu Zhan pointed to a spot in front of him and said, "Later, when I saw that it was a weapon, I secretly picked it up and hid it. Those people didn't notice. After they saw that there was no danger, they came in and checked it out. They even blew this place up. Now that I think about it, they were probably looking for that tomb, but they just looked in the wrong place."
Yue Jiu Nian took out her pair of short swords to look at them. In fact, the short swords were two identical swords, but they used the same scabbard, so they were indeed a bit thick when put together.
"Okay, so you really didn't see anything since you were the first one to come in?"
Yue Jiu walked into the cave. When she reached the end, she saw that the end was blocked by stones. She remembered that she had sealed it off herself years ago. It seemed that she had found the right cave.
"Hey, where did they go? How could they disappear?"
Yue Jiu Nian really couldn't figure out where her soulless true body had gone. Could it have been picked up by someone?
Fortunately, although they don't know where the real body went, they can still be sure that the real body is currently safe or intact, because if the real body were destroyed, the several split souls would definitely be able to sense it.
Seeing Yue Jiu Nian's disappointed look, Liu Zhan comforted her, "Hey, sister, don't be sad. It's okay if you lost it. I'll just buy it back for you later. You saved me, and I'll repay you."
Liu Zhan still thought Yue Jiu Nian was looking for some valuable item, so when he said that, Yue Jiu Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, she could only nod haphazardly. She couldn't very well tell Liu Zhan that she had lost a corpse.
"Alright, let's go down the mountain then."
In the end, Yue Jiu Nian decided not to search anymore and to go down the mountain first. Anyway, once all the divided souls were found, she could still summon her true body back. It would just be more troublesome to summon it back.
