I don't know how much time passed, but the girl swallowed all the broken beads in her mouth and then looked at me with a grin.
I was slightly taken aback when I heard this, because the girl said "for us," not "for me."
In other words, this time the girl has included both me and Lei Jijian in her calculations.
Lei Jijian quickly reminded me to ask for more, otherwise it would be a real shame.
I didn't reply, because the girl could hear both my telepathic communication with Lei Jijian.
The girl digested the information for a very long time, and finally, with a slight wave of her hand, her guardians appeared behind her.
That's when I noticed that each of the two guardians was holding a box, which was bronze in color.
The material looks a bit like wood, but the color has a metallic sheen.
What surprised me most was that there was a special mark on the top of each box.
I will never forget that mark; it was the Beast God.
I never expected this girl to take the Beast God's things as a gift.
"Master! You must thank that person properly for me! This gift is far too precious!"
Lei Jijian spoke to me again, and this time I could clearly hear a sob in his voice.
I rolled my eyes. Was this guy really that agitated?!
"Alright, brother, that bead wasn't really suitable for you, after all, it's a dragon from our manor!"
The girl looked up and gave me a slow explanation, but I gleaned a great deal of information from her words.
The dragons in the manor? That means there are many, many strange beasts in this manor.
However, even the girl didn't recognize all of these strange beasts; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked me what they were in the first place.
Secondly, the items dropped by the strange beasts we hunted in the mountain villages were of no help to me.
"Alright, brother! Take your things and go back to your palace to rest. Leave this to me. Just remember, don't go out before dark!"
"You two take your brother home!"
The girl tilted her head and gave instructions to the two protectors on her left and right.
The two guardians on the left and right nodded vigorously, and then walked to my side at the same time.
The two of them bowed slightly, making a gesture of invitation.
I glanced back at Song Chao. He was alright now, but I was still a little worried about his safety.
The main problem is that this girl is really terrifying, and she's also a little unpredictable. I'm really worried that something might happen to Song Chao if he stays here.
"Don't worry, the offering has already done its job. I will treat my brother's friends well from now on!"
The girl's voice was still so gentle that it made me feel a little dazed.
I have no choice but to nod and obey the girl's arrangements.
"Don't worry, Senior Chen, I think this girl will treat me well!"
Song Chao also spoke slightly, which reassured me.
And so, the two guardians, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed my arms and led me back the way we came.
On the way, I tried to ask the two protectors about the manor, but neither of them was willing to speak.
If it weren't for their low shouts earlier, I would have thought they were completely mute.
This time, we got back to the palace much faster than when I came; it took about 5 minutes.
"Finally back! Mr. Chen, please be careful! If our king is going to absorb your yang energy again today, you must be prepared!"
As soon as they entered the palace, the two guardians on the left and right spoke at the same time.
What these two protectors said made my eyelids twitch wildly!
Good heavens!
This is some kind of Mission Impossible game! I originally trusted the girl quite a bit, but I didn't expect that the protector would say that the girl had been absorbing my yang energy.
"I know Mr. Chen probably won't believe it, but he'll know once he experiences it!"
The two guardians seemed to have anticipated my reaction, and then, with a slight upturn of their lips, they pointed to my lower abdomen.
With some skepticism, I placed my hand on my lower abdomen and closed my eyes to begin feeling it.
Then I was a little surprised because I was astonished to find that the yang energy between my dantian and lower abdomen had almost completely disappeared.
When I first came here, I clearly remembered that my yang energy was quite abundant.
There's only one possibility: the girl was absorbing my yang energy last night.
I recalled that when the girl was unconscious last night, her little feet were resting on me, and I could feel their coolness.
Holy crap, so this girl had been absorbing my yang energy all along using this method! That's so sneaky!
"Alright! Regardless of the truth, we've reached a point where we can leave it at that. Mr. Chen, please make your own judgment!"
The two guardians looked at me seriously, and then simultaneously handed the box to me.
"The final decision rests with you, sir!"
The Right Protector continued to speak.
I remained silent for a long time before putting down the scepter, stretching out my hands, and taking the two boxes.
"Then we won't bother Mr. Chen any longer. Please remember what we said!"
After giving their reminders, the two guardians quickly left the room and closed the door.
I cautiously began to ask Lei Jijian for his opinion.
"What's there to think? It's not like it's absorbing my yang energy. Master, relax a bit. Anyway, you can replenish your yang energy sooner or later, it's not like you'll miss out on a little bit!"
Lei Jijian's irritating look really gets me hooked.
But it must be admitted that Lei Jijian was right.
The most urgent task now is to absorb the contents of the box as quickly as possible.
Suddenly I felt the booklet on my body react.
I was overjoyed that the booklet had finally received a new response after such a long time, which made me extremely happy.
I put the two boxes aside, then carefully took out the booklet and checked the information inside.
"No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction!"
There was only one sentence on the title page of the booklet.
My brows furrowed into a deep frown. This wasn't the first time the booklet had acted as a riddle-maker; several times it had been speaking in ways we couldn't understand.
I shook my head helplessly and put the booklet back in the mirror.
Only then did they carefully open the two boxes.
Goodness, these two boxes contain two completely different things.
The box contained an arm that was about half a meter long.
However, this arm was wrapped in dragon scales, and when I touched it, it was still warm.
Then I remembered that I seemed to have something similar inside my body.
