Just before falling asleep, Qiqi was still wondering if she would dream about that well again.
And I actually dreamed about it!
This time, she felt a little closer to the well.
She was still outside the barrier, but this time she could see a mark on the barrier clearly.
Qi Qi's pupils contracted, and she blurted out, "The Heaven-Slaying and Demon-Sealing Formation? How could this be? How could this formation appear here?!"
Qiqi was shocked and confused!
The Heavenly Demon-Sealing Array was a formation that her master had asked her to study.
Not long after the formation was successfully researched, the master disappeared.
Could it be that when her master asked her to study the Demon-Sealing Array, it was to seal the demon at the bottom of the well?
Was the master's disappearance also due to this?
However, the Heavenly Demon-Sealing Array is not only a trapping array, but also a killing array.
Trapped within, even a demon lord would gradually be reduced to nothingness under the array's attacks.
If the demon in the well is truly the one sealed by the master, there's no reason why it should still be alive after a thousand years!
But if it wasn't his master, then who could it be that knew this Heavenly Demon-Sealing Array?
There are too many things that Qiqi can't understand.
She walked around the barrier and was quite certain that this was the Heavenly Demon-Sealing Array she had created.
But what kind of thing can survive for so long inside this formation?
She even sensed that the demonic energy emanating from the well was denser than it had been the day before.
This also means that the thing in the well has not only not disappeared, but is even gradually awakening.
Even the Great Demon-Sealing Array of All Heavens couldn't handle this demon; if it were to awaken...
Qiqi simply couldn't imagine what kind of hell it would be.
When I came out of the dream, it was already daylight outside.
Having spent the entire night studying the monsters in the well, Qiqi hadn't been able to get a proper rest, resulting in her looking haggard when she came downstairs after finishing her morning lessons.
"Qibao, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Madam Ji was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Madam Ji the Third.
Seeing Qiqi come down, he quickly got up and went to help her.
Then I saw my little girl looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and I felt so sorry for her.
Madam Ji also came forward with concern, "Qiqi, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
Having not seen her son for several days and not knowing how his treatment was going, Madam Ji couldn't contain herself and came early in the morning.
Qiqi nestled in Madam Ji's arms, her chin resting on her shoulder, looking utterly listless.
Despite feeling unwell, she still managed a sweet smile for Madam Ji, "Third Aunt, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."
She looked up at Madam Ji and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Mommy, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
She didn't sleep at all last night, and she'll probably need to eat six meals today to recover her energy.
"Yes, the kitchen has reserved it for you. We'll have someone bring it up to you right away."
Mrs. Ji carried her toward the dining table, and the servants had already started bringing the food that had been kept warm in the kitchen to the table as soon as they saw her come downstairs.
These are all foods that Qiqi likes to eat: chicken porridge, steamed buns, beef patties, and the like.
Mrs. Ji placed Qiqi on the dining chair, looked at the table full of delicious food, and took a deep breath.
The aroma of the food soothed my anxiety.
Madam Ji kept piling beef patties and steamed buns onto the plate in front of her, and Qiqi, no longer caring about elegance, ate the beef patties in her left hand and the steamed buns in her right, taking big bites.
"Eat slowly." Madam Ji took a tissue to wipe the grease from her mouth, feeling a little worried. She had never seen Qiqi eat so quickly before. "Qi Bao, are you feeling unwell?"
"Wow, that's delicious." Qiqi quickly stuffed the beef patty into her mouth, her cheeks bulging out.
Then her little hand reached out to the next one without stopping; she was really hungry.
After stuffing herself with five beef patties and seven xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), Qiqi finally slowed down her eating pace.
His complexion also visibly improved.
Seeing this, Madam Ji's anxiety eased slightly.
She was genuinely worried that Qi Bao might be feeling unwell, but she was afraid they would worry and didn't want to tell them.
It seems that Qi Bao was really too hungry.
A whole table of food was eaten up by Qiqi, more than she usually eats.
There was so much food that even Madam Ji was a little worried, afraid that Qiqi would get too full.
Fortunately, the little girl looked normal. After eating, she seemed to have recovered her energy and was full of vitality, showing no signs of discomfort.
Madam Ji asked the maid to come and clean, and then invited Madam Ji the Third to sit down on the sofa again.
As soon as she sat down, Madam Ji couldn't wait to speak, "Qiqi, your brother Jinsu's eyes..."
Ji Jinsu was sitting next to her and couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom, Qiqi only gave me acupuncture a few days ago, how could it be so fast? You're putting pressure on my sister."
Ever since Qiqi gave him acupuncture, she has required him to have gauze wrapped around his eyes day and night.
When Madam Ji came over in the morning, she was startled to see the gauze on his eyes, thinking that his eyes had become more serious.
No matter how he explained, she wouldn't be convinced and insisted on asking Qiqi herself.
During this time, Ji Jinsu was very happy staying at his fifth uncle's house, fearing that if his mother asked such a question, it would make his fifth aunt and little sister uncomfortable, and they would not allow him to continue living there.
"I was worried too, and I didn't mean to put pressure on Qiqi. I was just asking to find out what was going on," Madam Ji quickly explained, afraid that her fifth sister-in-law and Qiqi would feel uncomfortable. "Sister-in-law, Qiqi, please don't misunderstand. I really didn't mean to distrust you."
She genuinely just wanted to know about her son's situation; she didn't mean to pressure or distrust Qiqi.
Madam Ji was also a mother, so she could understand Madam Ji's feelings.
Hearing this, she smiled gently and patted the back of Madam Ji's hand. "Third Sister-in-law, I understand. Xiao Su's eyes are a worry for you. You can't sleep peacefully until it's resolved. Qi Bao, you should talk to your Third Aunt right away."
"Okay." Qiqi had already guessed that her third aunt was there to find out about Ji Jinsu's condition when she saw her arrive, so when she heard her aunt ask, she immediately replied, "Third Aunt, actually, Brother Jinsu's eyes are much better now. He'll be fully recovered in about four more days of acupuncture. Brother Jinsu should be able to see some blurry images now, but he's been blind for too long, and opening his eyes abruptly would be bad for his eyes. That's why I had him wrap his eyes in gauze to prevent him from opening them unconsciously and getting hurt again."
"So that's how it is!" Madam Ji breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qiqi with gratitude. "Qiqi, thank you for taking care of Xiaosu's illness."
