Chapter 681: Chapter 681: I’m Too Weak_1
The next day was a bright, clear day. The radiant sun had already made everything outside the window shimr, quickly driving away the chill of the night and welcoming in the animating sumr.
When Qin Sisi woke up, she glanced at Lin Shan Shan, whose expression was peaceful. This instantly put her mind at ease, and she left the room to make so ginger soup in the kitchen, only then gently waking up Lin Shan Shan.
Lin Shan Shan slowly opened her eyes in response to Qin Sisi’s gentle call, and saw Qin Sisi’s concerned smile. lazily rubbing her eyes, she said in a child-like, sulky manner, "I’m still sleepy!"
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but chuckle, but her mood completely relaxed. This action, this tone, was undoubtedly the real Lin Shan Shan.
After much coaxing, Qin Sisi managed to get Lin Shan Shan up and cajoled her into drinking the ginger soup.
Lin Shan Shan looked sowhat better. She glanced at Qin Sisi and hesitated before saying, "Sisi, I had a really strange dream. It was a bit... scary."
Qin Sisi pursed her lips, patted Lin Shan Shan’s hand, and gently said, "No need to speak, I already know."
"You know?" Lin Shan Shan asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
Qin Sisi sighed and said, "Shan Shan, that wasn’t a dream, it was real. Fortunately, you were with , otherwise you would have been in big trouble. Rember, never to wear any unknown items."
Lin Shan Shan stared at Qin Sisi, and then sothing clicked in her mind. She looked down at her wrist, which was bare, devoid of any jewelry.
"Was it that silver bracelet?" Lin Shan Shan exclaid, her face expressing sudden realization.
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "Correct, there is a very fierce ghost in it, so you must rember what I told you."
Lin Shan Shan pouted and said with a touch of grievance, "I found it at my sister’s old house. It looked pretty, so I thought it was sothing she once wore. How could I have thought it was dangerous?"
Qin Sisi comforted her by wrapping an arm around her shoulders, "Alright, it’s all over, you’re safe now."
Although the incident ca to an end, Lin Shan Shan had been possessed for a while, and her body had lost a lot of its Yang energy. Qin Sisi asked her to stay for a couple more days.
After Lin Shan Shan fell asleep that night, Qin Sisi talked it over with Ye You, "Can I give my mahogany bracelet to Lin Shan Shan? I won’t be at ease once I leave and I feel the bracelet no longer holds much significance to ."
The bracelet had only served as an early warning against ghosts at the very beginning, but then it seed to always remains silent and hardly noticeable.
Ye You explained, "This bracelet can deter ghosts. It can also sense the heart’s intents of its wearer. The more fear its owner feels, the more powerful the force it will emit for protection.
Once you had the Divine Dog’s Fury, you had the ability to defend yourself. You rarely felt fear when facing ghosts and those with malicious intents found it difficult to approach you. Hence, the bracelet lost its practical value.
Since you worry for Lin Shan Shan, giving it to her is also good."
Understanding the value of her bracelet, Qin Sisi gave Lin Shan Shan the mahogany bracelet she’d worn for a long ti the next day. She told her not to despise it for its lack of beauty. It was a Soul Warding Spiritual Artifact, and with it, she wouldn’t have to fear those unclean things anymore.
Having been attacked by a ghost, Lin Shan Shan was already very scared and, as such, showed no distaste for the bracelet’s lack of beauty. She accepted it gratefully, put it on her wrist, and decided that she would never take it off.
After one more day, noticing that her body had mostly recovered, and having also been summoned to work by Southern Company, Lin Shan Shan said goodbye to Qin Sisi and caught a train back to the south.
Before leaving, the two made a promise to share news of their boyfriends with each other if they had one, and to et in person to congratulate each other when they got married and had children.
Whereas Lin Shan Shan was laughing and joking about this, Qin Sisi felt a sense of sorrow.
She had already found her love, but she was unable to share it with Lin Shan Shan.
If she really went to the Demon Sacred Realm with Ye You on the fifteenth of July, it would be extrely difficult for her to return to the Human World. This farewell could be the last one between her and Lin Shan Shan.
Lin Shan Shan passed through the ticket checkpoint, she turned back, and waved at Qin Sisi with a bright smile.
Qin Sisi also waved back, but as soon as Lin Shan Shan turned around, she was instantly reduced to tears.
Goodbye, Shan Shan.
Goodbye, my best friend.
Upon returning ho, Ye You, noticing Qin S’isi’s low spirits, could, of course, guess so of the reasons.
He hopped over to Qin Sisi and whispered, "Actually, if you beco powerful enough in the future, you should be able to freely shuttle between the Demon Sacred Realm and the Human World."
Qin Sisi stared at Ye You in astonishnt, not knowing what to say.
Ye You continued, "I’ve seen so information about the Human World in so books in the Demon Sacred Realm. This implies that a long ti ago, soone from there had co to the Human World and had even lived here for quite a while."
Qin Sisi hesitantly asked, "Then why is it so difficult for you to return to the Demon Sacred Realm?"
Ye You paused, a look of embarrassnt in his eyes, and after a mont replied, "I’m still too weak."
"You’re weak?" Qin Sisi was filled with disbelief.
If even Ye You was weak, then what was she?
A tiny shrimp in the vast ocean?
She knew Ye You was trying to comfort her, but facing this comforting ssage, Qin Sisi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
As long as you have enough magical power, you can shuttle freely between the Demon Sacred Realm and the Human World.
Well, it sounds very promising.
But with her limited lifespan, she didn’t dare to believe that she could have such luck and talent to touch the threshold of advanced magic.
In the end, Qin Sisi sighed heavily and stopped worrying about the issue, considering it was sothing for the very, very distant future.
The most important thing for now was that they still had to collect five more Soul Powers.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, in the middle of the night, Ye You released the palace maid ghost nad Wanwan.
Having been allowed two days to think things over, she probably had realized there was no hope of coming back to life and had let go of that thought. The malicious look in her eyes seed to have faded a lot.
That night, Wanwan had looked sly and grim. Qin Sisi had been angry and anxious, so to her Wanwan was naturally hateful.
At this mont, Qin Sisi, who was feeling calm, looked at Wanwan’s beautiful features and was taken aback to discover that she was quite a pretty and elegant woman.
Qin Sisi kindly asked, "Have you thought about your story and your wish?"
Wanwan nodded, her voice soft as she replied, "I have thought about it, but before that, I want to understand what task you intend for ."
Having stayed in the palace for many years and having witnessed the backstabbing and hidden motives among a large group of won, Wanwan was extrely wary. She knew that nothing cos free and that Qin Sisi must need sothing in return for her help.
