"Let's go back!"
Lin Yu glanced back and gently picked up Shen Manshu.
In the Half-Step Duochen Manshu, she was in a soul state, able to run and jump, but not in the outside world. Although her legs were beginning to recover, she still couldn't walk.
Feng Jiu then stepped forward and picked Liu Siyun up.
Shen Manshu blushed. "Why didn't you hug her? Hug me instead."
While inside, Lin Yu clearly showed great concern for the girl.
She felt that their relationship was unusual.
Lin Yu looked somewhat embarrassed, wondering why this woman would ask such a strange question.
Everyone's awake now, if I don't hug you, who else should I hug?
Do you want Feng Jiu to carry you?
After all, no matter how you look at it, he and Shen Manshu are closer, so neither of them will feel so awkward.
However, in Shen Manshu's view, Lin Yu seemed to care more about her.
...
Shortly after the group left.
brush!
Several dark figures flashed in and out of the mountains.
With a few leaps, several figures suddenly appeared under the big willow tree.
"Young Master, the Edo Tensei Stone was in this area at the time, and we lost contact with Queen Fukuda!" one of the ninjas reported to Orochi Shikamaru.
Shikamaru frowned, took a few steps forward, and arrived at the tomb.
He looked at the tomb, then at the willow tree, and then gently brushed his eyes with two fingers.
When he opened his eyes again, they were bloodshot, with tadpole-like patterns flowing silently within them.
After a moment, the red light faded, and his eyes returned to normal.
However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Interesting. I didn't expect that the Great Xia would also have a third space like the Wasteland!"
“The Impure Earth Stone can only sense the spirit body. At this moment, her spirit body has entered another space, so naturally you can’t find her!” Yamata no Shikamaru shook his head again and couldn’t help but sigh.
The subordinate beside him frowned and asked, "Young Master, do you have a way to enter this space?"
Orochi Shikamaru shook his head. "It might be possible with a secret technique, but I don't want to take the risk! These kinds of spaces are usually guarded by powerful deities, some even as strong as the Totem Serpent! I, Orochi Shikamaru, won't do anything I'm not confident about!"
His subordinate immediately looked bewildered. "But if we want to enter the secret realm, we need to use this demoness's Thousand Birds Technique..."
Orochi Shikamaru sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it! But we don't need to rush. Let's send people to guard this place first. I don't believe she'll stay inside forever! Also, I've been observing the Changbai Dragon Vein recently and discovered that it secretly aligns with the Big Dipper Star Technique. Every stage will reveal some weak points, and we can find the loopholes to enter the secret realm! I predict that the next loophole won't be long before it's exposed, perhaps around the new moon and full moon in the near future!"
"So ga!" The subordinate exclaimed with admiration, "Young Master, you truly deserve to be the heir of our number one feng shui family, the Orochi family. Your feng shui skills are far superior to those of the Old Madam!"
Orochi Shikamaru waved his hand, "No need for flattery. I know my own limitations. I'm far inferior to my grandmother. To secure this opportunity to help the clan, she sacrificed half her life's worth of magical power and made a death pact with the gods to finally awaken the Orochi. Such a sacrifice is beyond our reach! If we fail to obtain the sacred treasure this time, we will truly be letting down my grandmother's sacrifice! I will also have no face to be the heir of the Orochi clan!"
...
It was already late at night when Lin Yu took Shen Manshu back to the hospital.
After escorting Shen Manshu to the ward door and personally placing her in a wheelchair, Lin Yu said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest. I'll send more people to the hospital. What happened today will never happen again!"
Hearing these heartwarming words, Shen Manshu blushed.
However, there was one question that had been bothering her all the way, and now that Lin Yu was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask it.
"Dr. Lin, what exactly is your relationship with that girl named Liu Siyun?" Shen Manshu asked, her head bowed and her face flushed.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "She's my friend, yes, a very good friend!"
friend?
Upon hearing this, Shen Manshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now!" Lin Yu said.
"Then, shall I take you?"
"No need, it's not convenient for you anyway. Get some rest, and I'll come back to give you acupuncture when I have time!"
Lin Yu smiled and offered a word of comfort before leaving with Feng Jiu.
Shen Manshu watched the two leave and couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss! Miss!!"
Just then, the maid Xiao Huan rushed out of the ward.
Shen Manshu frowned slightly and said irritably, "What's wrong? What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorderly!"
Xiao Huan, her face beaming with joy, gasped, "Lord, Lord Marquis has woken up!!"
"What?" Shen Manshu's body trembled, then her face lit up with immense joy. "Quick, push me in!!"
In the hospital ward.
Shen Shi'en lay quietly on the hospital bed, his eyes half-open, staring at the ceiling, slowly focusing.
"Dad, you're awake? You're finally awake, sob sob sob!"
Shen Manshu came to the bedside, took her father's hand, and burst into tears.
Hearing her daughter's cries, Shen Shi'en's consciousness gradually returned, and her vision gradually became clearer.
He turned his head, raised his hand slightly, and touched his daughter's head. "Manshu, my good daughter, Daddy thought I would never see you again..."
