After much effort, the drought demon was indeed resolved, but the four Taoist priests became attached to her.
Ye Shuang was also glad that she had returned to her original appearance when she came out. When she got rid of them and returned to the village, even if they met again, these people would not recognize her as a child again.
"Isn't the seal supposed to be guarded? Are you all just going to follow me like this?" Ye Shuang looked at the four people who were still relentlessly following her, feeling somewhat helpless.
The four looked at each other again, then knelt down. One of them spoke respectfully once more, saying, "Please, Immortal, choose one of us to serve by your side! Whatever we do, we can help you!"
How could Ye Shuang possibly agree to that? Especially not with another tagalong who needed constant supervision. She didn't want that, okay? So, taking advantage of the fact that they all had their heads down and no one dared to look up, she rode the wind and disappeared from their sight in the next instant.
It was nighttime when she got home. Ye Shuang calculated the days; it had taken her three days to kill just one Qi Refining stage drought demon? Should she learn some sealing techniques? What if she needed them next time?
Like a gentle breeze, Ye Shuang quietly drifted into her bedroom without anyone noticing, transforming back into a child and lying on the bed. The original "Ye Shuang" on the bed turned into a wisp of smoke, finally appearing on Ye Shuang's wrist.
Hearing the noise, Bai Xue, who had been lying at the foot of the bed, sensed that her real owner had returned. Excitedly, she opened her eyes and wagged her tail vigorously at Ye Shuang, who was resting with her eyes closed.
"Bai Xue, you are a wolf, not a dog." Ye Shuang rubbed the hammer lying on the side of the bed. She had to admit that Bai Xue's touch was absolutely amazing.
Bai Xue whimpered a few times, realizing that Ye Shuang was really tired, so she obediently shut up and lay down again.
Ye Shuang slowly let out a long sigh. It felt good to be able to rest in peace, but the thought that she couldn't make up for the spiritual energy she had lost over the past three days made her feel very uncomfortable.
Why not set up a spirit-attracting array at home? I don't know if it will work, but in this spiritually barren mortal world, it probably wouldn't be as effective as the spiritual energy she absorbs directly from spirit stones, right?
The next morning, Li Mantian had already gone out to farm, while Li Shi stayed home to do housework. Ye Shuang once again lived the pitiful life of only being able to absorb that wisp of spiritual energy every morning.
Well, it's better than nothing.
Life seemed to slowly return to normal, and time flew by so quickly that two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The number of disaster victims is gradually decreasing, and the surrounding barrier is slowly dissipating. This is a sign that there is no spiritual energy. Ye Shuang wants everyone to feel that the outside world is no longer dangerous, and that even without the barrier, they can be as safe as ever.
In the midst of these peaceful days, one day, a familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Father! Mother! Shuang'er! I'm back!"
It's Li Wenyi!
Ye Shuang, who was lying on a recliner in the courtyard, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the door. When she saw that familiar figure, she was certain that it was indeed Li Wenyi who had returned!
However, he chose a rather inconvenient time to enter the house. Li Mantian and Li Shi were still in the fields, and she was the only one at home: "Brother?"
Li Wenyi strode into the courtyard and saw only Ye Shuang staring blankly at him. He chuckled, walked over, and picked her up: "Shuang'er, don't you recognize your brother? Your brother's back!"
