It wasn't until Shi Xi looked at the sunken wall that she felt a complete loss of strength, as if all the power in her body had been drained away.
No wonder Ruan Jingshan was exhausted.
As he was thinking this, he was about to collapse from exhaustion when Qi Tingsong caught him.
Qi Tingsong frowned, looking at Shi Xi's exhausted appearance. He guessed that Shi Xi must have gained some insight from seeing Ruan Jingshan use the Ghost Card, which was why she was like this.
He handed Shi Xi a glass of warm water and couldn't help but say, "You shouldn't waste your energy like this."
Shi Xi took the drink, catching her breath slightly. "I just suddenly wanted to try it."
Ruan Jingshan, who was standing on the sofa, silently withdrew his hand.
When Shi Xi fell, he instinctively reached out to help her up... but quickly realized something was wrong.
He's only the size of a palm now.
Ruan Jingshan jumped onto Shi Xi's lap, then flipped over and went into the pocket, with most of his body inside and only his head sticking out.
Then he reached out and tugged at Shi Xi's sleeve, "You're tired, you should... rest first..."
Shi Xi thought he looked like a real-life figurine, so she couldn't help but tap Ruan Jingshan's head.
Ruan Jingshan didn't dodge; he just stood there.
She looks very well-behaved.
Qi Tingsong's gaze turned cold. He picked up Ruan Jingshan with one hand and said to Shi Xi, who was drenched in sweat, "You're covered in sweat."
"Take a shower before you sleep, or you'll catch a cold."
Shi Xi felt that he smelled bad, so he avoided Qi Tingsong's hand that was about to help him up, saying, "No need."
"I can do it myself."
"By the way, talk to the guest room department tomorrow and see how much compensation we need," Shi Xi said to Qi Tingsong. "I'll pay it."
Qi Tingsong shook his head, "No need."
He said, "This is the Qi family's property."
Although the Qi family is a family of metaphysical scholars, they also have some other businesses, and this is one of them.
Shi Xi waved her hand and went into the bathroom. After taking off her clothes, she discovered that the bracelet on her wrist had developed fine cracks... It seemed to be unable to withstand her unrestrained consumption.
Shi Xi remembered that Qin Budu had checked with him before he left to see if he was wearing the bracelet.
In the original story, Qin Budu was a diviner, and he must have foreseen all of this before asking the question.
...
Qin Budu put down the purple wreath he was weaving and stood up from the greenhouse.
Just as he left the greenhouse filled with purple flowers, he heard his assistant, who was standing guard outside the door, say, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Ji is back."
Upon hearing this, Qin Budu subconsciously reached for the Bodhi seed bracelet on his hand, but found nothing. He then remembered that he had already given it to someone. He looked at his assistant and asked, "Why is it a day earlier than expected?"
Ji Ruwen said he would be back in three days when he left, but it's only been two days now.
The assistant thought for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke, "...Perhaps things went relatively smoothly."
Qin Budu didn't care. After leaving the greenhouse, he went to the garden, where the endless roses looked like burning fireballs in the sunset—each one of which he had planted and carefully cultivated himself.
He sat in the middle of the garden, and seemingly on a whim, did some mental calculations—
"It's broken."
He chuckled helplessly and said to his assistant behind him, "Bring me the Bodhi jade, I'll make another one."
Although he couldn't see it, Qin Budu's carving knife didn't stop for a moment, as if he had already memorized it.
...
As soon as Shi Xi entered the bathroom, Qi Tingsong threw down Ruan Jingshan.
He frowned, wiped his fingers clean with a tissue, and then looked down at Ruan Jingshan—
"Forget about him..."
"mine."
Qi Tingsong's eyes held undisguised warning and disgust.
"Don't forget, you are just a spirit now."
