When Song Mengmeng woke up from her deep sleep, she was already at home in Shanghai.
She slept for quite a long time, after all, the puppet race was purified and transformed into power to nourish her, allowing her soul power to advance two levels with some remaining.
It will take quite a while to digest so much power.
She slowly propped herself up from the bed, glanced at the sky outside (it seemed to be almost evening), and then checked the time...
Goodness, I slept for almost half a month.
The little girl got out of bed, thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Emperor Yan. She then stood up and wandered into the kitchen, intending to find something to fill her stomach.
The King of Hell returned incredibly quickly.
She had just stepped into the kitchen when she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms.
"She's finally awake."
Feeling the little girl nestled softly in his arms, Yan Di, who had been on edge, finally felt relieved. Although he knew that Song Mengmeng's unconsciousness was a normal part of the advancement process, but...
But I still can't help but worry.
Only when I saw that she was truly safe and sound did I feel relieved.
"I'm fine." Song Mengmeng turned around and hugged Yan Di's waist, pressing her ear to his chest and whispering to comfort him, "I'm just a little hungry. I didn't expect to sleep for so long."
The girl was still a little embarrassed to talk about it now.
She was held by Yan Di, and the two snuggled together for a while. Seeing that Song Mengmeng was hungry, and since it was dinnertime, Yan Di decided to take Song Mengmeng out for dinner.
After thinking for a long time, the little girl finally decided to eat hot pot.
The two went to a private restaurant that Yan Di frequented. While eating, Song Mengmeng asked about the aftermath of what happened in Guixu.
Emperor Yan didn't hide anything and quickly told Song Mengmeng everything that had happened afterward in a few words.
The Void had completely collapsed, and Shuten-dōji and his companions had returned empty-handed. However, Shuten-dōji's obsession with reviving Yamata no Orochi prevented him from giving up his belief in continuing his efforts.
He seemed quite optimistic, saying that the world is so big that if one path doesn't work, there will always be another one!
The destruction of the Puppet Clan's last breeding ground is a tremendous loss for them! Although they may face retaliation and counterattacks from the Puppet Clan, they have also lost their final chance to turn the tide!
All that's needed now is to find and eliminate the remnants scattered throughout the world, and the crisis this race poses to the world can be resolved.
"Hu Yue came to see you a few days ago, but you weren't awake yet, so I didn't agree to her request." Yan Di placed the sliced meat he had cooked into Song Mengmeng's dipping saucer and whispered about something else: "She has now returned to the Special Case Team, but because her boss doesn't get along with her, her work isn't progressing very smoothly."
In fact, Yama's statement was rather conservative on this point.
Hu Yue's current situation is not just unsuccessful, it's downright obstructed and she's hitting walls everywhere!
"But you don't need to worry about her. She should have thought of this when she went back to work. She knows how to deal with the person who caused her trouble. Her current forbearance is just laying the groundwork for a future counterattack!"
Seemingly worried that Song Mengmeng might be uneasy, Yan Di added a reassuring remark to the little girl sitting next to him.
The internal strife within the Xuanmen sect did not arise overnight.
There will always be some conflicts and contradictions between factions.
Song Mengmeng and her group previously attacked the Maoshan Sect, bringing it down from its high position within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect). In the end, the Maoshan Sect was disgraced and its entire faction is now unable to hold its head high within the Xuanmen.
Although it is said that the Maoshan Sect brought this upon itself and has no one else to blame, some people within the Maoshan Sect would not want their own sect to be at fault first.
All they could think of was the malicious targeting by the Qingcheng Mountain faction.
Among them was Guo Ruihuai, the former chief disciple of the Maoshan Sect, who was hailed as the light of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
Having lost both his parents at a young age, he was discovered by the sect leader who happened to pass by and brought back to the Maoshan Sect. And the sect leader was indeed right about him; Guo Ruihuai's talent was truly astonishing.
At just seventeen years old, he had already defeated many members of other sects who were considered his elders in the Xuanmen Grand Competition, becoming the champion of the competition.
Everyone originally thought he would follow the path that many esoteric sects would choose, join the special case team, and become a member of the functional agency.
But to everyone's surprise, he did not choose that path, but instead chose to continue his cultivation and went into seclusion in the back mountains of the Maoshan Sect.
He remained hidden for more than ten years until recently when the Maoshan Sect encountered trouble, at which point he emerged from his secluded cave and re-entered the world to take over the mess that the Maoshan Sect was facing.
For the Maoshan Sect at present, the most important thing is naturally how to restore its reputation.
Therefore, when faced with the olive branch extended by the higher-ups, Guo Ruihuai did not refuse, but readily agreed and became the leader of another group at the same level as Hu Yue.
As someone who was promoted by the new leader at this time, Guo Ruihuai was naturally more favored by the higher-ups than Hu Yue.
Moreover, because of the previous incident involving the puppet clan, the higher-ups were extremely angry with Hu Yue. Although they had no choice but to reluctantly invite her back due to pressure, they would still inevitably make things difficult for her.
