My heart was filled with excitement, but I immediately realized that Lao Ai was talking about the finished Yi Mo bead, not the semi-finished one in my hands. No matter how powerful it was, it had nothing to do with me.
I smiled wryly, "When I got the Yi Mo bead from the Mo family, it was already a semi-finished product.
Those people only gave me a week's time, they wouldn't have enough time to go to the Mo family to find the real Yi Mo bead … I think we should forget about it, saving people is more important. "
I wasn't stupid, although I wanted to take the fatty's place and suffer, I didn't want to die in vain if I could save my own life.
But Uncle Lin said that the people from Mount Longhu only gave me a week's time, he must have already spent one or two days on his way here. If we went to the descendants of the Mo family in Macau, even if we got the Yi Mo bead, I'm afraid we wouldn't have enough time to save people.
After saying that, I didn't care about the presence of the fatty's father and directly stepped forward to hug Lao Ai, saying goodbye to her.
Lao Ai dodged to the side and avoided my hug, then without waiting for me to react, she directly reached out to me and asked, "Do you still have the Profound Yin Liquid I gave you last time?"
I was stunned, I didn't understand what she meant, and subconsciously took out the small bottle of Profound Yin Liquid and handed it to her, replying, "There's still about half a bottle."
Lao Ai nodded and softly said, "It should be enough."
After saying that, she reached out again and said to me, "Take out your semi-finished Yi Mo bead as well."
After getting the Yi Mo bead, she reached behind her and took out a small white porcelain bowl from who knows where. She directly threw the Yi Mo bead inside, then opened the small bottle's cap and poured half of the Profound Yin Liquid into the small porcelain bowl.
After seeing her actions, I vaguely understood what she meant, and asked in surprise, "You can turn this Yi Mo bead into a finished product?"
Lao Ai carefully placed the white porcelain bowl on the stone bench, then nodded to me, "Yes."
I really guessed it!
I immediately became excited, and said to Lao Ai with a grin, "That's great, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lao Ai seemed to be angered by my words, glanced at me, and replied snappily, "Who told you to be in such a hurry, getting ready to leave before I even finished talking, where would I have the time to tell you?"
The usually cold and silent Lao Ai suddenly made such a reproachful expression, it had a special charm, and I was momentarily dazed, unable to say anything for a long time.
Thinking back, I realized that ever since I returned to the Fire God Temple, Suanni seemed to be completely different from before. In the past, when she spoke, she would be expressionless. Now that she was talking more, the liveliness in her expressions and words seemed to be getting stronger, as though she was slowly adapting to her surroundings.
In the past, Lao Ai was noble and ethereal, like a fairy in a painting. Although I liked her very much, every time I looked at her, it was unreal. It was as if I was looking at a fairy in the sky. Even if she was my wife, I didn't dare to have the slightest thought of profaning her.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt that the distance between us had decreased by a lot. It wasn't just the distance between us, but the distance between us. She seemed to have suddenly descended from the clouds, and stood in front of me with a smile.
In reality, she was indeed standing in front of me, and was extremely close to me. I didn't know what I was thinking, but I suddenly stretched my head out and kissed her on the cheek.
At this moment, Lao Ai seemed to be preparing to say something, but after being suddenly kissed by me, her mouth instantly froze. The trace of hidden bitterness on her face instantly disappeared, and a crimson cloud floated onto her face, making her originally extremely beautiful look even more indescribable.
Looking at her, I was intoxicated, and couldn't wait to pull her into my embrace. But since Lin Acheng was still here, I didn't have the nerve to go over and hug Lao Ai, but I still looked at her with infatuation.
Lao Ai wasn't as thick-skinned as me, and had already lowered her head. After staying silent for a while, she frantically picked up the white jade porcelain bowl that she had just placed on the stone bench, and passed it to my hand. Avoiding my gaze, she softly said, "As long as you soak it for a night, and use a drop of your blood to nourish it, this Yi Mo Pearl will become a real Yi Mo Pearl … We shouldn't stay here for long, let's head back first."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly walked back to her residence.
Seeing her suddenly reveal the appearance of a little girl, I was both happy and amused. Carrying the white jade porcelain bowl, I followed her with Lin Acheng.
This place wasn't far from Lao Ai's residence, and after walking for a while, we approached the stone room that she lived in.
Right at this moment, Lin Acheng, who had been standing next to me in silence, suddenly spoke, "Third Baby …"
I was stunned, and stopped walking. I turned to look at Lin Acheng's solemn face, thinking that he had most likely seen the scene of me kissing Lao Ai, and wanted to persuade me that humans and ghosts were different paths.
Lin Acheng was my elder, and he had watched me grow up. If he really wanted to persuade me, I really didn't know how to reply.
While I was hesitating, Lin Acheng finally spoke. He sighed, "… Don't let her down."
After saying that, he immediately lifted his foot and walked into the stone room in front of us.
I was stunned on the spot, a little dumbfounded by his words.
Lin Acheng's cultivation base might not be as high as mine, but his knowledge of metaphysics was definitely not worse than mine. The saying that humans and ghosts walk different paths was a golden rule for us metaphysicians. Everyone knew that if a human and a ghost stayed together, they wouldn't have a good ending. I really didn't expect that Lin Acheng would give his blessing to me and Huahua.
After my parents had passed away, I didn't have any relatives. Of course, I didn't regret marrying Lao Ai, and other people's opinions didn't matter to me. However, after seeing Lin Acheng today, I was a little worried.
But now, it seemed that Uncle Lin supported me and Lao Ai.
The corners of my mouth curved into a smile, and I didn't worry anymore. I lifted my foot and walked into the stone room.
Tong Tong was circling around Lao Ai, asking her where she had been these days. Lao Ai also smiled and talked to her. Seeing this, I heaved a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, when Lao Ai left, her face didn't look right. I thought that she had something against Tong Tong. Now, it seemed that I was overthinking. The two of them smiled and talked to each other, and they looked like a pair of sisters. They couldn't be more intimate.
Lin Acheng stood next to the little zombie, frowning and gazing at him.
I put down the porcelain bowl in my hand and walked to Lin Acheng. When he saw me, he asked, "Did you raise this little zombie?"
I nodded, but before I could answer, Lin Acheng said, "It's strange. It looks like an ordinary raised zombie, but why is its Yin energy so strong?"
Hearing his words, I was slightly shocked. Ghouls were different from Tong Tong's Heavenly Birth Ghost Infant. Heavenly Birth's miraculousness could be seen at a glance by those who had cultivated to a certain realm. However, ghouls were different, especially those that had yet to awaken their spirits. They looked no different from normal zombies. Even if a Heavenly Teacher were to casually look at them, he wouldn't be able to see any clues.
It was also the reason why the Heavenly Masters hadn't paid attention to the little zombie in the Imperial Tomb of the Shang Dynasty.
Lin Acheng's cultivation base wasn't bad, but he hadn't reached the Heavenly Master realm yet. How could he see that there was something strange about the little zombie?
I felt strange, but Lin Acheng was someone I trusted. I didn't want to hide it from him. I smiled and answered, "He's not an ordinary raised zombie. He's a ghoul."
"A ghoul?"
Lin Acheng was surprised. Then, he frowned. "It's normal for a ghoul to have such a huge amount of Yin energy. However, a ghoul's Yin energy should be pure. However, I can smell an ancient aura from this little zombie … Something's not right."
Ancient aura?
Instinctively, I sniffed and couldn't help but laugh. I didn't know what Lin Acheng meant.
Lin Acheng frowned and pondered for a while. He didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. He shook his head and said, "Perhaps it's just my misperception … Let's not talk about this. Tonight, I will meditate outside the stone chamber. Tomorrow morning, when the Yi Ink Bead is ready, we will depart. What do you think?"
I had already made up my mind to save the fatty. I didn't have anything else to say, so I nodded.
Lin Acheng didn't say anything else and directly left.
After he left, I went to the little zombie and sniffed him. Let alone the ancient aura, the little zombie was a strange creature. His entire body was clean, and I couldn't smell any strange smell.
Looking at the little zombie, I was a little worried. It wasn't because of what Lin Acheng had said, but because the little zombie had been behaving strangely these days. When he was with me, he kept staring at me. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. I didn't know what he was looking at.
While I was thinking about the little zombie, Bi 'an came to me.
I recalled her shy and beautiful appearance, and remembered that we were going to sleep together tonight. I suddenly felt a panicked and expectant feeling in my heart.
However, my desire didn't last long. Bi 'an asked me, "You … Don't you think it's strange?"
I was surprised. "What's strange?"
Bi 'an answered, "This person … came back to life here. I remember the last time he came here. From what you said, you haven't seen him since then. At that time, you didn't even enter the Fire God Temple. How did he know that you came here to avoid trouble?
Moreover, he was so sure that you were here that he immediately came to find you. "
I was surprised. I was worried about the fatty's safety, so I didn't think about this.
