Chapter 225 I just don't want to be abandoned by the squad leader again.
The female demon is not looking for someone who is alone.
She found the courtyard where Yu Cinian and Tang Xi were by following the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
At that time, someone was sitting on the ground using protective clothing as a cushion, flipping through a book on metaphysics.
One of them squatted not far away, teasing ants while reciting a simple beginner-level spell.
Tangxi was seen holding a piece of pork jerky in one hand and a stone in the other.
She first put the pork jerky on the ground, and soon an ant came along.
Seemingly having caught a whiff of a large shipment, the ant quickly returned to report.
However, by the time it arrived with its swarm of ants, Tangxi had already replaced the pork jerky with stones.
The ant army had no choice but to return home in a grand procession.
Tangxi replaced the stone with pork jerky, and the ant that had previously been spying on the military situation saw it again and went back to inform them.
Once the main force arrived, Tangxi replaced the pork jerky with stones.
Repeat this several times.
When the ant returned, one of its legs was broken; it had clearly been badly beaten by the group.
Even Yu Cinian couldn't help but exclaim, "You must be from out of town."
Tangxi turned her head, her small face behind the mask expressionless.
His eyes asked inquiringly: What do you mean?
Yu Cinian: "Wherever I go, it's like leaving the province."
Tangxi: "..."
When the female demon arrived, Tang Xi was clenching her fists, considering where to start to beat up Yu Cinian.
"Which of you is the stinky Taoist priest?" The female demon floated in mid-air, her thick, long hair trailing straight to the ground, exuding a ghostly aura.
Tangxi and Yu Cinian exchanged a glance, seeing the understanding in each other's eyes.
They came to see Lin Sui.
But if you say Lin Sui is a stinky Taoist priest, Yu Cinian would disagree.
The squad leader is clearly fragrant.
Yu Cinian was about to get up, but perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, he couldn't get up on his first try.
Tangxi glanced at his feet with a tense expression; they had been so badly injured before that he had to use a wheelchair.
Then they remembered Lin Sui's firm attitude, insisting that they stay here.
Tang Xi seemed to understand something, ran over quickly, grabbed the ghost-headed horizontal sword, and looked up at the female demon: "That's me, so what? You think you can kill me?"
She stood with her back to Yu Cinian, blocking his way, as if he didn't exist. Her speech was exceptionally fluent as she spoke to the ghost.
"You?" The female demon squinted at the petite girl who looked like she couldn't lift a finger, her eyes full of suspicion.
Yu Cinian laughed too: "Tangxi, you've gotten too big for your britches."
"You...don't...believe me?" Tang Xi's eyes changed, turning cold. "Don't...forget! I just...saved you!"
You don't believe me? Don't forget! I just saved you!
Tangxi felt that she had been looked down upon.
She had been looked down upon many times.
It is precisely because of that contempt that they act so recklessly.
She has to teach them a lesson.
But I didn't expect...
Tang Xi gripped the hilt of the horizontal sword tightly, her eyes growing even colder.
If Yu Cinian really sees her that way too...
Tangxi was panting heavily.
She didn't know what to do.
She wanted to break ties with Yu Cinian... No, they weren't really friends to begin with; at most, she would never speak to him again.
But this would put Sui Sui in a difficult position, and she might also be very sad.
So she didn't know what to do.
Yu Cinian behind him continued to laugh: "No, even if it were Si Xingran, Lu Xiang, or Li Ye, no matter who stood here, I would still say the same thing."
After all, this female demon was clearly different from the previous vengeful spirits.
However, as he looked at Tangxi's back, he couldn't help but think of how Lin Sui usually coaxed them.
Yu Cinian spoke slowly, as if learning to speak: "Thank you for saving me just now. You're amazing."
Tang Xi's eyes widened slightly.
Shark fin can actually say thank you?
Her grip on the ghost-head dagger tightened and loosened repeatedly, looking rather bewildered.
After a long pause, Tang Xi finally managed to say, one word at a time, "No... thank you!"
Compared to the somber tone just now, his voice had clearly become more cheerful.
That's great, no need to make things difficult for Sui Sui!
Yu Cinian also let out a soft breath.
If the squad leader finds out that he has offended Tang Xi, the squad leader will definitely ignore him.
Seeing the two of them engaging in polite interaction as if nothing was amiss, the female demon's face darkened.
She finally understood why a vengeful spirit couldn't defeat a mere ordinary person.
These people don't even respect ghosts.
The female demon instantly gathered thick black ghost energy in her hands, and after merging them into one, she roared and charged towards the two like a ferocious black dragon.
But halfway there, the black dragon encountered an obstacle.
A layer of arc-shaped barrier shimmered with golden light, flowing with a rich aura of spiritual energy.
The female demon was both shocked and overjoyed.
So there really was such a powerful Taoist priest!
"Hahahaha..." The female demon was not afraid at all, but instead threw her head back and laughed wildly, "It's really heaven helping me, heaven helping me!"
"As long as I eat this stinky Taoist priest, my strength will definitely increase greatly. Then, I can escape this awful place and kill all the filthy people in the world!"
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
A clear, resonant voice rang out, followed by a talisman drawn in the air, bearing a shimmering golden seal, which slammed down powerfully towards the female demon.
Knowing that the visitor was hostile, the female demon quickly mobilized all her ghostly energy.
The dense ghostly aura transformed her into a dark shadow, like a cloud of condensed mist.
The dark figure not only forcefully resisted the encirclement of the spirit talismans, but also showed a tendency to devour them.
"Miss Lin, be careful, this demon is very powerful." Mao Yang clutched his aching chest, looking disheveled as he was helped up by the fluffy furry man.
If he didn't also have a pay-to-win substitute doll, it would be a real question whether he could have survived until Lin Sui found him.
Lin Sui remained completely calm, slowly making a hand seal.
In an instant, the talisman shone brightly with golden light, squeezing out the ghostly energy.
Then, like a blanket or a rolled-up scallion, it wrapped up the female demon.
"Aaaaaah!!!" The bound female demon struggled incessantly, letting out a shrill scream.
Lin Sui ignored her and set up a demon-locking array using talismans and cinnabar.
After finishing, she looked up and gestured to Tangxi: "Come on, Tangtang, throw her over here."
Tangxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran to the area below the female demon.
The talisman-wrapped female demon filling rolled pancake fell from mid-air and was grabbed by Tangxi, who was standing on tiptoe.
Mao Yang, who was just about to say that ordinary people can't catch ghosts: "..."
Oh, she seems to have the ability to see ghosts, so she's not exactly ordinary.
Tang Xi, as if lifting weights, threw the female demon into the magic array with a powerful throw: "Go, you!"
As soon as the female demon entered the magic array, the array immediately activated, rotating and absorbing the black energy from her body little by little.
"Ah—" The female demon, whose black energy had been absorbed, let out another inhuman howl.
As the black energy was continuously absorbed, the vengeful spirits it devoured split off one by one.
As more and more people from Luohua Village emerged, the female demon's power weakened, eventually transforming her back into an ordinary earthbound spirit.
The woman slumped down in the magic circle, her bloodshot eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.
"What kind of monster dares to covet our Master Lin? Are you the leader of the Axe Gang? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
Si Xingran said lazily, playfully patting Li Ye on the shoulder: "Right, Chief?"
One sentence was enough to darken the faces of both the human and the ghost.
Li Ye's temples throbbed; he had a premonition that King Gigi would repeatedly bring up this shameful dark history of his and lash out at him.
The woman's face also contorted; she opened her mouth as if to say something.
Lin Sui waved his hand at this moment: "The losing team's MVP can express your impotent rage later. Let me deal with my family matters first."
woman:"???"
Lin Sui walked straight up to Yu Cinian and said calmly, "Get up and walk a few steps so I can see you."
These words not only startled Yu Cinian, but also made the others look at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Xiang followed over, arms crossed, and glanced at Yu Cinian sideways: "What kind of trouble have you caused now?"
Yu Cinian lowered his eyes and did not answer.
He looks rather well-behaved like this.
He silently stood up, and with a natural expression, lifted one foot to start walking.
Lin Sui's face darkened, and she directly stopped him: "Your foot injury is clearly still very serious, why are you being stubborn?! Do you want to be crippled before you're satisfied?!"
She scolded Yu Cinian angrily.
The commotion also attracted Si Xingran and Li Ye.
Both of them had injuries on their hands, but they were different; one hand was injured, and the other was injured.
In short, it will not easily touch the wound and cause secondary damage.
Yu Cinian, however, was different.
His injury was to his foot, which requires him to move around frequently.
Thinking it was the dampness seeping from under his feet, Yu Cinian glanced down and saw that the edges of his white sneakers were clean and there was nothing there.
Lin Sui still managed to find out.
A hint of annoyance, along with a touch of dark smugness and smugness, flashed across Yu Cinian's light-colored pupils.
Yes, the injury on her foot still hurts, but Yu Cinian is very good at enduring it.
Therefore, he walked steadily from the hospital to Luohua Village without letting anyone see that he was enduring pain—even though he was actually very afraid of pain, and his melancholy and depression were also due to pain.
Fortunately, being afraid of pain and being able to endure pain are not contradictory, and he thought no one would find out.
But Lin Sui still found it.
And she had already discovered it, which is why she left him there and forbade him to move.
Yu Cinian lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, her long eyelashes appearing exceptionally soft: "I just don't want to be abandoned by the squad leader again."
"When did I abandon them..." Lin Sui was about to retort angrily when she suddenly remembered that she had faced the evil god alone, hadn't she abandoned them all?
And even longer, longer ago...
Lin Sui just couldn't get angry anymore.
She remained silent for a long time, then finally took a deep breath and said, "Take off your shoes and let me see."
Yu Ci Nian hesitated for once.
He knew the wound on the sole of his foot was a bloody mess from being scraped by a rock, and the second injury hadn't been treated in time, so he feared it might have become even more infected.
He didn't want to show it to Lin Sui.
I'm worried that she'll be even angrier if she sees this.
"What are you dawdling for? Do your feet smell?" Si Xingran said with a pungent tease.
Yu Cinian narrowed his eyes, a knife hidden in his smile as he glanced at him: "Paper dolls don't have smelly feet, thank you."
Finally, under Lin Sui's stubborn yet calm gaze, Yu Cinian took off his shoes in public.
Then you can see that the white bandage wrapped around his foot is already soaked with blood.
Tangxi clicked her tongue in surprise.
No wonder the tracking talisman led them to Yu Cinian first.
The man was injured on the sole of his foot, yet he insisted on going up the mountain with them. By the time they arrived, his wound had reopened and was bleeding, but he seemed not to feel any pain, only smiling at Lin Sui with his eyes crinkled.
What a cruel person.
Lu Xiang wasn't surprised at all.
If it were her, she would also rather endure it than not keep up with Lin Sui's pace.
Lu Xiang glanced at Lin Sui and saw another layer of anger rising in her eyes. She quickly reached out to Li Ye: "Quick, medicine for the wound."
Yu Cinian then unwrapped the bandages under Lin Sui's watchful gaze.
The open wound had scabbed over, and the gauze was forcibly torn off, leaving it bloody and mangled again.
Despite being afraid of pain, Yu Cinian remained smiling and even comforted Lin Sui, saying, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Anyway, it definitely wasn't as painful as when Lin Sui fought the Cave God alone.
Yu Cinian thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It would be even better if my pain could alleviate the captain's pain."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye, who was disinfecting and applying medicine to him with cotton swabs, unconsciously tightened his grip a little.
"Hiss..." Caught off guard, Yu Cinian couldn't help but gasp.
Lu Xiang chuckled: "Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?"
Yu Cinian wasn't angry; he just looked at Lin Sui with a pitiful expression.
Lin Sui: "...You deserve it, you have to endure the pain."
That's what she said, but her hands honestly slapped a pain relief talisman on his leg.
Only then did he prepare to go back and deal with the matter of Luohua Village.
Turning his head, he saw that Tangxi was still holding that introductory book on metaphysics.
Lin Sui thought of something, took the book, turned to the page on ghost control techniques, and handed it to Tang Xi: "Forget about everything else, just learn this."
Tangxi already possesses the ability to see ghosts, making her a perfect fit for learning ghost-controlling techniques.
She used to kill people with ghosts a long time ago, which was a deal with the ghosts, and she had to pay the price herself. But it's different after she learned the art of controlling ghosts.
This was the metaphysical route that Lin Sui quickly devised for her after discovering that she had no other means of self-protection.
She also believed that Tangxi would be happy to agree.
Sure enough, Tang Xi's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the words "Ghost Control Technique".
This is practically a mystical technique tailor-made for her!
Lin Sui smiled when she saw this.
She walked back to the woman in a few steps: "What were you trying to say? Go ahead."
Woman: "...What the hell are you talking about! If you want to kill me, just kill me! Why all the nonsense!"
Lin Sui shook his head: "Your daughter has already paid a price she shouldn't have to pay, I have no need to kill you too."
The woman was taken aback: "Daughter?"
Lin Sui: "Your daughter came back, didn't you know?"
The woman looked completely stunned.
Clearly, she was unaware of it.
Lin Sui understood.
It seems she guessed correctly. On the night Lin Siyao and Luo Rulan arrived, the vengeful spirits of Luohua Village, including this woman, were unknowingly trapped inside a wooden doll made of peach wood.
The woman snapped out of her daze, stared at Lin Sui, and asked, "You said she paid a price, but what price did she pay?"
"Shouldn't you have guessed this already?" Lin Sui said. "Otherwise, how do you think those two human traffickers who kidnapped you died?"
"No, it's impossible."
The woman shook her head in disbelief, then roared like a madwoman, "I don't like her! I like my son, and her older brother Luo Yaozu! I hate her to death, why should she come back!"
