Chapter 79 Changes
Going out?
Hu Li was stunned for a moment when he heard Yu Sheng's words, then quickly wiped the remaining bowls with his tail, and then picked up a tail to wipe the sesame paste on his mouth: "Okay, I'll take care of it now..."
Yu Sheng's eyes twitched as he looked at the girl: "I'm not in such a hurry - you just use your tail to wipe your mouth?"
Hu Li looked down at the sesame paste on the tip of his tail and then reacted. He put his tail into the sink and scrubbed it. After washing, he shook it vigorously in front of Yu Sheng.
"I'm used to it..." She muttered quietly, "I forgot that there are better things at home."
"It's okay, it's not a big problem," Yu Sheng wiped the water off his face, "Also, next time when you're shaking off the water, pay attention to the people around you - and the electrical appliances."
"Ah, sorry, benefactor!" Hu Li realized that he had splashed water all over Yu Sheng's face, and immediately came over in a panic, using his other dry tail to randomly rub the latter's face, while wiping it, he asked, "Then... where are you going? Do you need to fight?"
"Stop, stop, stop. I can wipe it myself—" Yu Sheng fumbled to block the tail that was rubbing against his face, and spit out two silver-white fluffs from his mouth. "We need to go back to that valley, but we don't need to fight this time."
Hu Li stopped moving instantly and stood there tensely.
The nervousness and fear in her eyes certainly could not be hidden from others - in fact, Yu Sheng knew that this would be her reaction before he opened his mouth.
But precisely because of this, he felt that he must let Hu Li see the strange changes in the valley at this moment.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He took a step forward and gently touched the fox girl's hair. "I know you are resistant to that place, but some strange changes have taken place there, and I think it is necessary for you to see it with your own eyes. Don't worry, you won't be trapped there again."
Hu Li stared at Yu Sheng in a daze. After several seconds, she nodded stiffly, as if she had used up great courage to make this decision.
Yu Sheng then pulled her back to the restaurant, and brought along the little doll that had been waiting for a while. After opening the door leading to the exotic land in the valley, the three of them (although the number of people was not high) stepped in.
The sunlit valley came into view, a fresh breeze blew across the valley floor, the rocks and wastelands in the distance were bathed in the light of the sky, and after the night fell, everything looked so bright and vivid.
Even the devastation left after the "feast" seemed...soft and reassuring because of the sunlight.
Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulder, staring at the scenery in the valley with wide eyes. She was stunned for a long time before she blurted out, "This is really like Yu Sheng getting into the alchemy furnace - this is weird..."
Yu Sheng instantly forgot what he wanted to say, turned his head and looked at Irene on his shoulder with a complicated expression: "Can you please stop using me to create allegorical sayings?"
"Then explain to me what's going on first—" Irene raised her hand and pointed at the valley in front of her, "The entity-the breath of hunger has completely subsided! I feel that this place is no longer the original 'foreign land'!"
"It's no longer the original foreign land?" Yu Sheng noticed what Irene said, and his expression changed slightly, "What does this mean?"
"The environment has completely changed. I don't know if you can feel the difference in the 'atmosphere'. This place now has a kind of..." Irene said, frowning slightly, turning her head to look up and down at Yu Sheng several times, and then hesitantly continued, "It has a kind of your atmosphere, or... the atmosphere of No. 66 Wutong Road."
Yu Sheng: “……?”
While Yu Sheng was stunned, Hu Li looked around nervously for a long time. She was tense when she just passed through the gate, but now her face was filled with confusion - she did not have the strange and precise "perception" ability of foreign lands like Irene, but as a fox demon, she had an instinctive perception of those things in the environment that had threatened her before.
The entity-hunger has truly disappeared from here completely, and there is no sign of regeneration after so much time.
Just then, Yu Sheng's words interrupted Hu Li and Irene's attention: "I want you to see more than this."
As he spoke, he squatted down on the spot and stretched his hand towards the bumpy dirt ground in front of him.
It is full of grooves and traces of corrosion left over from the Entity-Hungry tentacles that once fed on it.
Hu Li and Ailin didn't understand what was going on, but they subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu Sheng's finger.
They saw that the soil there was slowly beginning to surge.
They heard a slight friction sound coming from deep in the soil.
The ground began to heal, gullies were gradually filled, and corrosion was rapidly eliminated.
There is green appearing between the soil and rocks, delicate and fragile, but those tiny bits of green are enough to make people stunned.
The valley was "healing," which was the only way Erin could think of to describe it at the moment.
She turned her head with a stiff neck and looked at Yu Sheng's face beside her.
Yu Sheng took a long breath and slowly stood up.
Within a few dozen meters around him, the ground has gradually recovered, but this is the limit of what he can do at the moment.
He could sense the subtle connection between himself and the lands in the distance, but he could not simply "activate" or "reshape" them.
But even so, he could feel that what he was doing at the moment had an impact on the entire valley, as if he had planted a seed and started a slow, continuous reaction. He felt that the entire valley was gradually waking up and regaining vitality bit by bit.
"How did you do it?" Irene finally couldn't help but asked.
"I don't know the exact principle, but this should also be a connection established by 'blood,'" Yu Sheng said slowly while thinking, "Since the last incident, I felt that I had established some kind of stable 'connection' with this valley. It's probably because I died too many times in this broken place, and the amount of blood I bled was enough to irrigate the ground... Anyway, after a certain moment, I felt it, just like this."
He pointed to the healed ground beneath his feet.
Irene looked at Yu Sheng's eyes in astonishment and even horror, and after a long pause, she blurted out, "What the hell is your blood?!"
Then she reacted: "Wait! You used your blood to shape my body and smeared it on my painting frame. Doesn't that mean you can also control it..."
"No," Yu Sheng sighed upon hearing this, "If I could control you, would I be kicked by you all night when I sleep?"
Irene thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's true."
Then she looked at Hu Li, who had remained silent the whole time, and said, "Your family is a cultivator, and you have a different opinion. What do you think?"
Hu Li looked at Yu Sheng with admiration: "My benefactor, your magic is profound and can understand the changes in nature. You can be a garden greening immortal!"
Yu Sheng: “…”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He wasn't sure for a moment whether this fox girl was praising him or not, so he just took it as a compliment.
"I shouldn't have expected you to have any opinion," Irene sighed after hearing Hu Li's answer, and poked Yu Sheng's head with her hand. "Anyway, the 'connection' between you and the valley can be put aside for now. The most important thing now is the 'entity' entrenched in this place. It hasn't regenerated for such a long time, I'm afraid it's really gone."
"This kind of thing has really never happened before?" Yu Sheng was a little skeptical.
"Of course not. At least I haven't heard of it," Irene answered without hesitation. "The entity is an 'inevitable phenomenon' in the operation of the alien world, not an independent individual that can be destroyed. As long as the alien world exists, the entity will exist. But then again——"
The little doll paused and looked around subtly.
"Now the 'atmosphere' of this entire valley has changed. At least from my feeling, it is no longer the foreign land that gave birth to the entity-Hunger. If that's the case, the entity-Hunger will really disappear forever..."
Miss Doll frowned, as if she had found a logical explanation, but rationally she couldn't believe it was true.
Hu Li on the side didn't understand what Irene was struggling with. She only understood one thing: that monster seemed like it would never come back.
She reached out and tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve: "From now on, that monster won't come out to hurt people again?"
"It seems so." Yu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded gently, "Unless this valley loses its connection with me and can change back to its previous state on its own."
After hearing this reply, Hu Li stared at Yu Sheng blankly, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.
Then she suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yu Sheng tightly - her strength was so great that Yu Sheng's body, which was many times stronger than that of an ordinary person, creaked instantly. Not only that, she even wrapped a lot of her tail around him: "My benefactor, that's great! That's great!"
Yu Sheng never expected this. The air in his lungs was almost squeezed out at that moment. Not to mention feeling the warmth of the fox's embrace, he felt as if he was being wrapped by seven or eight hydraulic pliers from all directions: "Loose... loose... I'm dying... tail..."
Hu Li finally reacted, quickly let go, and jumped to the side in shock: "Ah! Sorry, benefactor - I got excited and..."
Yu Sheng, who had survived the catastrophe, supported himself on his knees and gasped for breath. It took him a long time to find the strength to wave his hands: "You...how come your tail is so strong!"
"You scared me too!" Irene protested, "You whistled at me with your tail and almost swept me off my feet!"
Hu Li just stood there apologizing so much that his ears were almost touching his scalp...
But you can see that she is still happy.
It was a feeling of complete and reassuring joy that even exceeded the feeling she had when she first escaped from the foreign land.
Yu Sheng had finally caught his breath (and repaired several minor bone fractures in his body). He raised his hand and pressed Hu Li's hair to reassure the girl, then he straightened up and looked into the distance.
Irene noticed Yu Sheng's movements and expression changes in an instant.
The little puppet immediately said to Hu Li: "I think he will have another idea..."
"Do you want to walk further away?" Yu Sheng asked, "What do you think is outside this valley?"
