Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Looking at the four empty instant noodle bowls on the dining table, Li Yelai felt a pang of guilt.

Li Yunyan's curse not only affects humans, but also other plants and animals.

Even a sprouting garlic clove would appear as a bizarre, deformed thing to Li Yunyan. It might even have a few eyeballs growing out of it.

Therefore, even if Li Yunyan could cook, she still couldn't enter the kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator was like opening a monster blind box. Even if she overcame her fear and suppressed her discomfort, she still couldn't tell what kind of vegetables she was holding.
In the past, Li Yelai would rush home to cook or bring some vegetables for his younger sister.

When Li Yelai is not around, the doll or cheese living next door will cook an extra dish. Take good care of Li Yunyan.

But now, Cheese has gone out on an investigation and hasn't returned for months. And Li Yelai and the doll... *cough*.

This left Li Yunyan, who was alone at home, with no choice but to tearfully show off four buckets of instant noodles.

"Sorry, little sister."

"You're really something, staying out all night. It's already the afternoon of the second day," Li Yunyan said with a strange expression.

Yesterday evening, Li Ye went next door and didn't come home.

Li Yunyan guessed that her brother had been dragged away to eat by Doll Sister, and didn't think much of it.

But even late at night, during supper time, my brother still hadn't returned.

Li Yunyan chuckled, a little excited and gossipy.

'It really is the Li family patriarch manifesting himself!'

Although those two guys forgot about their adorable, hungry little girl, let's forgive them this time.
Then came breakfast and lunch.
Having developed a spoiled palate, Li Yunyan was getting a little irritated after eating four bowls of instant noodles in a row.

Seriously, bro?

Your emotional intelligence is shockingly low; I almost wish I could step in and take your place.

And now, they've gone this far? It's been over ten hours already!

You follow the Myriad Manifestations Path, not the True Martial Path. Even if you've undergone some enhancements, your physique doesn't need to be this strong, does it?

Now, she has finally seen her brother come back.

Hmm. An older man who was clearly not fully awake, with some strange red marks on his neck and disheveled clothes.

Wow, you're really something, bro!
"It's almost four o'clock, brother. You didn't just wake up, did you?" Li Yunyan asked sarcastically, seemingly implying something.

As expected, Li Yunyan had already guessed what was going on. Li Yelai looked somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, I asked the branch office for leave for you this morning when I saw you weren't back yet," Li Yunyan said. "You should at least repay me, right?"

As she spoke, she patted her stomach.

"Okay, what would you like to eat?"

“Even if we don’t have a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, we should at least have four dishes and a soup, right? But we’re out of food at home. Why don’t you go to your sister-in-law’s to cook?” Li Yunyan said with a strange expression, emphasizing the words “sister-in-law”.

"Okay. I'll bring it over when it's ready." Li Yelai nodded awkwardly and turned to leave.

And then he watched as Li Yelai closed the door.

Li Yunyan muttered to herself, "When Sister Cheese comes back, she'll probably be furious. She just went out and her house was robbed. If that happens, there will really be bloodshed. I'll have to handle things carefully. I can't let them become hostile to each other."

On the other side, Li Yelai turned around and went back to the doll's room.

The doll had already risen, and she had put on a white T-shirt, covering her alluring body. But the long, slender, and fair legs that were visible beneath the T-shirt still exuded a unique kind of temptation.

She had wanted to wear the frog mascot costume to take care of Li Yunyan, but the pain when she lifted her leg forced her to abandon the idea.

She leaned against the wall as she walked out of the bedroom, looking at the mess in the living room and the bloodstains on the sofa.

The doll's face flushed slightly. This subconsciously reminded her of the absurdity of the previous night.
If it weren't for the pain she was experiencing, she would still feel a sense of unreality.
I was really brave last night.
If given another chance, she probably wouldn't be able to muster the courage she had yesterday.

Upon learning that Li Yelai was going to the kitchen to cook, she decided to go and help.

But now she has difficulty sitting up, and after walking a few steps she trembles in pain.

As a sixth-level expert, her physical strength was naturally not low. She had also undergone the baptism of crimson sap.

But she also lacks Li Yelai's rapid regeneration ability.

Therefore, she is still wounded.
“You’re still injured, so leave this to me.” Li Yelai helped the doll up.

The moment he touched the girl's body again, his sleepwalking daze and sense of unreality finally disappeared.

Looking at the shy girl in front of him.

He suddenly felt a sense of awe, realizing that this was the woman who belonged to him, his partner.

Although it has been less than a day since he truly understood the doll's feelings for him, things have already progressed to this point.
The unbelievable turn of events left Li Yelai's mind reeling for a moment.

If the 'strategists' found out, they would probably suspect that the doll had been possessed.

For example, both were leading the Jiangdong troops. Sun Quan, who should have been hunted down, suddenly became Xiang Yu. Zhang Liao's mindset was probably not very good.

Li Yelai only just realized the doll's feelings for him.

From the doll's perspective, this is a year-long unrequited love.

The doll blushed and nodded. Her face remained delicate, but the redness around her eyes hadn't faded, like a touch of eyeshadow, radiating a captivating beauty. She appeared both ethereal and alluring.
Li Yelai lifted the doll into his arms, feeling the softness of the girl's body, and his heart trembled.

'She looks like she's only wearing a T-shirt?'

Li Yelai tried hard to calm herself and suppress her racing heartbeat. She carried the doll to a chair next to the dining table, and, worried about her injury, even placed a soft cushion underneath.

The doll's face was still flushed as it sat in the chair watching Li Ye return to the kitchen.

After hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and hooked the unique spiritual energy threads of the Divine Path, retrieving the communicator from the coffee table in the distance.

Then, he secretly took a picture of Li Yelai, who was busy in the kitchen.

It was also sent to the [East City Branch Strategist Strategy Group]
[Let me tell you a secret, this is my boyfriend ヾ(▽)ノ]
In the photo, Li Yelai, wearing an apron, wields a kitchen knife, his movements a blur of motion. His already handsome face, coupled with his serious expression, is undeniably captivating.
Yes, she wanted to show off a little but was also a bit shy, so she only dared to share her joy with her close girlfriends.

The strategists, however, could only smile helplessly when they looked at the photo.

[This one is great, much better than your previous ones.]
[This child.]
[Okay, okay, he's your boyfriend.]
[Where did you two go on your date today?]
[How's it going?]
[Have you held hands?]
The strategists comforted the doll as if it were a child.

This made the doll's face even rosier, and she couldn't say anything directly for the time being.

She couldn't very well say that she forced herself on them and hurt them both, could she?

[Anyway, this is my boyfriend ヽ(°▽、°)]
[Haha, good, good!] The strategists joked as always.

Li Yelai spent some time preparing four dishes and a soup.

They divided it into two portions, one for the doll and the other for Li Yunyan.

"Brother," Li Yunyan said, eating a chicken leg without any regard for appearances, "remember to eat more too, you need to nourish your body. I remember someone in the branch bought tiger penis wine or something, remember to buy some." "You're really thoughtful," Li Yelai muttered.

"Then why are you still here?" Li Yunyan asked.

"What?" Li Yelai looked puzzled. This is my home. Where else would I be if not here?
"No?" Li Yunyan widened her eyes and retorted, "You're not going to have dinner with your sister-in-law, are you trying to freeload at my place? No way, I refuse!"

After saying this, Li Yunyan pushed Li Yelai out of the room and watched him return to the dollhouse before clicking her tongue in disapproval.

"Holy crap, these straight men are going to make them suffer."

She slammed the door shut, as if kicking her brother out.

After finishing her meal, the doll blushed and whispered, "Xiao Ye, I want to take a bath; I smell."

This made Li Yelai's face turn slightly red.

The two of them did indeed possess a subtle scent. Furthermore, their physical strength was exceptionally high, and their sense of smell was extremely keen, making the scent quite strong.

When she was undercover in the church before, Hongzhuang had used heather flower extract to disguise this scent.
"Okay, I'll take you to the bathroom," Li Yelai replied, his voice a little hoarse for some reason. He picked up the doll and headed towards the bathroom.

So, after a period of time...

Li Yelai carried the tired and sleepy doll back to the bedroom, gently placed it on the bed, and covered it with a quilt.

"I need to go out for a bit," Li Ye said. "You go to sleep first."

"Come back soon." The doll, now even more exhausted after her bath, spoke in a barely audible voice.

"it is good."

Seeing that the doll had fallen asleep, Li Yelai let out a breath of stale air.

If the doll hadn't been injured and not yet healed, the bath would probably have taken even longer.

Then, golden spatial fluctuations rippled around Li Yelai. He took out a new set of clothes from the Ark space and put on the black trench coat.

After locking the doors and windows of the room, I left the family apartment.

As the cold night wind blew in his face, Li Yelai felt the restlessness in his body gradually subside.

He finally understood why so many people could be corrupted by ecstasy. This chaos truly is all-pervasive.

If she stays with the doll any longer, her injuries will likely worsen.
However, Li Yelai's purpose wasn't solely for this; he did indeed have other matters to attend to.

Last night was the Jing family banquet. He and Jing Lin had agreed to contact each other and discuss things after the banquet.

So, Li Yelai picked up an SUV from the logistics department of the East City branch. He planned to go to the safe house to meet up with Jing Lin.

They ran into the head of the logistics team's epidemic medical team, who had just come out of the parking lot, seemingly having just gone somewhere to carry out an emergency rescue.

The Plague Doctor Captain is a psionicist with a divine path.

Unlike other powerful deities, she is renowned in the city for her cellular control and flying needle stitching technique.

He has treated countless wounded. Even those whose arms were severed could be reattached as long as they found the plague doctor before the arm became necrotic.

"It's been a long time, Captain Night." The Plague Doctor was still wearing his bird-beak mask.

"Hello, team leader of the epidemic medical team." Li Yelai nodded: "You just went on a mission?"

"Yes, someone was cut in half at the waist, and I tried to save him. Fortunately, I succeeded," the plague doctor said.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your skills are truly remarkable," Li Yelai praised.

"It's alright. Come praise me again when I've cured your captain's brain too. But what about you? What are you planning to do? You're the doll's neighbor, right? Do you know why she took the day off today?" the Plague Doctor chuckled, as one of the strategists. She had just seen Li Yelai's photo.

"I have some personal matters to attend to. And the doll... she's not feeling well, so she might need to take the day off tomorrow," Li Yelai said, coughing lightly and his face slightly flushed.

“Oh, okay, women have their days.” The doctor raised an eyebrow and then nodded.

It wasn't until Li Yelai drove away that this happened.

She suddenly realized, "Holy crap! It's not what I thought, is it?"

Meanwhile, Li Yelai met Jing Lin again inside the safe house.

Upon meeting him, Jing Lin immediately complained, "Damn it, Lao Li! Ye Han isn't coming, so you're not coming either? You don't give me any face at all. You don't even reply to my messages. Now that you're the team leader, you think you're all that!"

"Sorry, something came up last night," Li Yelai grinned. He really didn't plan to go to the Jing family banquet; since Ye Han had chickened out, he wouldn't go looking for trouble.

Moreover, he really couldn't get away last night.

When Jing Lin sent the message, Li Yelai was still locked in the air.

Li Yelai can't exactly transform into a Li Yuanba mask just to break free from the shackles of thin air, can he? *cough*
"What a pity, there was quite a show to watch last night." Jing Lin poured Li Yelai a cup of tea and pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"What's all the commotion? Is someone causing trouble?" Li Yelai asked.

"No, that's not it. It's rare to have so many families gathered together. Several powerful individuals sparred on the spot. The one who reverted to the Divine Bloodline made a move and defeated a family elder from a major city in Sichuan," Jing Lin said. "Although it was just a spar, neither of them used their full strength. But based on my Heavenly Eye's observation and calculations, Jing Liang had an almost overwhelming advantage."

“Jing Liang.” Li Yelai nodded, not surprised at all. A person who had returned to the ancestral bloodline of the Jing family must be quite powerful.

Otherwise, the Jing family wouldn't be so persistent.

"Also, Ye Han himself didn't come, but the Zhao siblings and the Blind Swordsman of Snow Mountain did. The Blind Swordsman of Snow Mountain, a sixth-sense expert, even sparred with one of your official female captains."

The two seemed evenly matched. However, many believed that the blind swordsman would ultimately win. After their sparring session, the female captain turned and left without eating. Many suspected she was a sore loser.

"A female captain?" Li Yelai was taken aback, then asked, "Is she from the Netherworld Path? Is she very tall?"

“Yes, according to my observations, she’s 1.75 meters tall and has a very hot figure. Do you know her?” Jing Lin asked.

"Yes, they should be my friends and teammates."

She was suspected and distrusted by so many people, especially since she was a female captain of the Netherworld. Add to that the description of her physique.

It's Little Mad King.

She probably sought out the Blind Swordsman of the Snow Mountain to spar in order to obtain his tactical intelligence.
"This is a reliable teammate," Li Yelai thought to himself.

"It's a pity you missed the excitement," Jing Lin said regretfully.

Li Yelai had no choice but to nod. Last night, his place was actually quite lively too.
"As for Zhao Lin, she came to me and said that Ye Han had indeed reached a cooperation agreement with the main branch of the Jing family, and that Ye Han had obtained some core intelligence. Unfortunately, she was unable to find out."

"You're a member of the Jing family, don't you know about this kind of core intelligence?" Li Yelai asked.

“Our three lineages have been severely suppressed, brothers.” Jing Lin shrugged.

"But my grandfather also told me some information. There is a palace in the Immortal Palace that only people of the Jing family bloodline can open. That is our family's target this time."

"Only the Jing family bloodline can be activated?" Li Yelai smiled. Excellent! This is indeed very good intelligence! (End of Chapter)
