"Nine Spirits? Nine Spirits? The Moon Nine Spirits?!"
Just as Yue Jiuling was still engrossed in her 'memoir', she suddenly felt someone shouting at her and shaking her shoulders forcefully. As she was shaken, everything she saw vanished instantly, and she immediately snapped out of her reverie.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
As soon as Yue Jiuling came to her senses, she saw Ya Zi, Ye Dongfeng, and Yin Ni standing in front of her, all three of them looking at her with strange expressions.
She looked at them, a little bewildered, and said, "What are you all doing? Why are you all staring at me like that?"
Ya Zi frowned and looked at Yue Jiuling, saying, "What was wrong with you just now? You were holding that stone and you were like you were in a trance, not moving at all. We called you for a long time before you came back to your senses. We were all scared and thought you were possessed."
Ya Zi was quite worried when he saw that Yue Jiuling was acting strangely, but fortunately he was able to wake her up later.
Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling looked down at the object in her hand with a puzzled expression. However, when she saw the familiar white stone in her hand, the memories she had just witnessed instantly resurfaced. She received the memories with slight surprise, and then it seemed as if she remembered something else.
Ye Dongfeng and Yinni were relieved to see that Yue Jiuling had come to her senses. Yinni sat back down and said, "It's good that you're alright. I knew it. Dongfeng's old things weren't anything special, but you insisted on looking at them."
Ye Dongfeng was actually a little worried about Yue Jiuling. In his eyes, although Yue Jiuling was quite powerful, she was still a demon after all. So he said, "Jiuling, why don't you stop watching? I'm afraid you might get hurt."
Yue Jiuling was no longer lost in thought. She gripped the small stone in her hand, shook her head, and gave a "I'm fine" smile, saying, "It's nothing, I was just spacing out. But Dongfeng, can I have this small stone?"
When Yue Jiuling asked Ye Dongfeng, although she smiled and used an inquiring tone, Ya Zi still noticed that her hand was still tightly gripping the small stone, as if she had no intention of returning it to Ye Dongfeng.
Upon seeing this, Ya Zi felt a little strange, because he couldn't understand why Yue Jiuling would suddenly want a small stone. However, although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't say anything and just quietly observed Yue Jiuling's emotions.
When Ye Dongfeng heard Yue Jiuling ask if he could give her the stone, he was taken aback. He said with some surprise, "I don't actually know which elder left this stone. However, it has very little spiritual energy. Giving it to you is not impossible, but why do you want it? Is there anything different about it?"
Knowing that Ye Dongfeng had agreed to give her the stone, Yue Jiuling opened her palm and examined it. She casually offered a reason, saying, "Hehe~ Actually, I just feel a connection with this stone. I liked it the moment I saw it. I feel like it's familiar; maybe we've met before~"
"Fine, take it if you like. I don't need it anyway. A little pebble isn't even as good as my copper coin sword."
Ye Dongfeng was quite generous. Although the items were sent by his maternal grandfather, he was only interested in some of the more useful magical artifacts, so he let Yue Jiuling take the stone.
Okay, thank you!
Yue Jiuling happily returned to her seat with the stone, while Ya Zi, seeing that everything was alright, lay down on the table. He said to Yue Jiuling, "We're leaving in two hours, so wake me up later!"
"Okay, you can rest now. I'll wake you up when it's time."
Yue Jiuling knew that Ya Zi was also tired, so she told him to rest assured, while she herself was still studying the small stone with her head down.
It was less of a study and more of a plaything. The little stone was about the size of a glass bead and not very round. It was actually oval and looked a bit like a bird's egg at first glance.
The small stone is white, a very clean, pure white without any impurities, and there is a small hole drilled through the middle of the stone.
Looking at the small hole, Yue Jiuling thought of the scene she had just witnessed. She remembered that the woman had used a small rope to string the small stone together and hung it around the little black cat's neck.
Thinking about this, Yue Jiuling gradually began to ponder, recalling some things from long ago.
She remembered that before she gained sentience, she was a stray cat wandering around. But now she seemed to remember that a long time ago, she often followed someone, but she couldn't remember why she ended up alone.
However, she always felt that this memory was a bit strange, and suspected that it might be wrong. But when she touched the small stone, she also felt that maybe she really did have a master in the past. After all, so much time had passed, and it was very likely that she had forgotten.
Just as Yue Jiuling was holding the small stone, looking troubled and struggling to think it over, her phone suddenly rang!
'Ding-ling-ling~'
Yue Jiuling's phone was on the table, and Ya Zi was lying opposite her, so when the phone rang, Ya Zi was woken up.
When Yue Jiuling reached for her phone, she saw that Ya Zi had also looked up. She said apologetically, "It's okay, you can go back to sleep, I won't disturb you."
When Ya Zi saw Yue Jiu Ling say that, he lay down again.
