"Damn it! I feel like I've lost at least three-fifths of my spiritual power. That thing is terrifying! It can actually absorb our spiritual power!"
Hidden against the little cabbage, she said with a hint of fear.
Ye Dongfeng also said, "Damn it! No wonder that person turned into a dried corpse. I was almost crippled too! If it weren't for Jiu Ling's move just now, I would definitely be dried into a dried corpse as well."
Mu Xiaoyi and Bai Xinyi helped each other up. Mu Xiaoyi said with lingering fear, "Yes, thankfully we had Jiuling. But what exactly is this thing? It's terrifying. I feel like a lot of my cultivation has been drained away."
Yue Jiuling helped them back into the car and said, "Actually, I don't know what it is either, but it has such a strange and evil aura and can absorb other people's spiritual power, so it must be extraordinary. Fortunately, my Netherfire can restrain it, otherwise you would probably have been drained of your spiritual power and turned into dried corpses."
"Tsk~ How come it's like a monster from TV shows, able to suck people's spiritual energy and life essence?"
Ye Dongfeng leaned back in his car seat and said, "I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm completely drained. I probably won't be able to recover without taking a few days off."
Upon hearing this, Yinni gave a wry smile and said, "Come on, I'm the one who's injured the most, okay?"
Bai Xinyu looked at Ye Dongfeng speechlessly and said, "No, we're both weakened in spirit power right now. If we all stay home to recuperate, who's going to deal with this damn thing? Dongfeng, you're not planning to have Jiuling come out and do all the work by herself, are you?"
After Bai Xinyu finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyi and Yue Jiuling also looked at Ye Dongfeng with disdain, as if they were cursing him for going too far.
Even Xiaobaicai said accusingly, "Brother Dongfeng, isn't this a bit much? That thing is so scary, how can you let Sister Jiuling deal with it by herself?"
Seeing that he seemed to have angered everyone, Ye Dongfeng immediately explained, "What? Oh dear, you've misunderstood me. I'm saying this for Jiu Ling's own good. Long Er just sent me a message saying he'll probably be back tomorrow."
Bai Xinyu squinted and said, "Oh, so it's Long Er who's back. But what does Long Er's return have to do with you having to go to work alone?"
Mu Xiaoyi also said, "Exactly, what does it have to do with anything?"
Even Yinni disagreed, saying, "Even if Long Er comes back, it's still inappropriate for us to slack off. Dongfeng, you've gone too far this time."
Yue Jiuling sat to the side, waiting for Ye Dongfeng to give her a reasonable explanation. She smiled sinisterly and said, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll stew you for a midnight snack. You actually want me to go out and work alone. You've gone too far."
When Ye Dongfeng heard Yue Jiuling say she was going to stew him, he wasn't scared at all. Instead, he laughed in a very sly way. He said in a cheeky way, "Hehe~ Jiuling, haven't you and your good partner Long Er not seen each other for a while? I'm giving you two a chance. You must miss each other a lot after not seeing each other for so long. So why don't you two go to work together and have a date or something?"
As soon as Ye Dongfeng finished speaking, everyone else understood and chimed in, "That's right~ We almost forgot about that~"
Bai Xinyu immediately pretended to be very weak and said, "Oh dear, I suddenly feel unwell all over. Jiuling, I'm sorry, I'll probably be going into seclusion to cultivate tomorrow, so I won't be able to go on the mission with you."
Hidden and Mu Xiaoyi, looking as if they were about to die, said, "Oh dear, I can't go on this mission anymore. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate immediately. Jiu Ling, it seems we can't go on the mission together. You and Long Er will have to carry it out."
Seeing that everyone else had become movie stars, Little Cabbage weakly said, "Me, I can't do it either. I'm afraid of that thing."
Yue Jiuling was so angry at these drama queens that she almost laughed. She wanted to hit them but didn't dare to. In the end, she had no choice but to drive them back herself and said, "You guys are really something, saying whatever comes to mind. Let me tell you, Long Er and I really have nothing going on, we're just good friends. You gossips, please stop making such a fuss."
Ye Dongfeng, lying on his side playing on his phone, said, "Oh dear, Jiuling, are you shy?"
Yue Jiuling wasn't initially shy, but his words made her feel a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said, "Alright, actually, I have Netherfire, and with Long Er coming back to help, you guys should be able to go into seclusion. But please, don't get any wild ideas, okay?"
"Oh, so you mean you agree to go on a date with Ryuji, and we can go home and rest now?"
Ye Dongfeng teased Yue Jiuling in his usual cheeky way. Yue Jiuling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yes, I agree, but it's a mission. Please remove the word 'date' from the list."
"Oh, okay, if you agree, I'll remove it."
After Yue Jiuling agreed to let them rest, everyone in the car looked at her with smirks and sometimes teased her, making Yue Jiuling wonder whether she should beat them up first while they were injured.
Finally, the car returned to the management office. Yin Ni, weak and exhausted, helped Ye Dongfeng out of the car. Then, Xiao Baicai took them back to their dormitory. Bai Xinyi and Mu Xiaoyi also went home. Before leaving, they asked Yue Jiuling to remember to ask for leave for them tomorrow.
"Go ahead, I'll ask for leave for you guys tomorrow. But aren't we a bit overwhelmed by injuries this time? We've never had so many people ask for leave together before."
Bai Xinyi nodded miserably and said, "That's right, this is the first time I've discovered that there really are monsters that absorb other people's spiritual power."
