The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Princess Huachao forced the evil spirit out of Yang Shilin's body, and black and purple mist swirled in the thatched hut, unwilling to leave for a long time.

When the evil spirit saw Ling Mi coming towards it, it let out a “whoosh” and broke through the window and fled towards the village.

"Monster, if you have the guts, don't run away! I'll beat you so hard that even your ancestor won't recognize you!" Ling Mi chased him into the yard and cursed.

The Sixth Princess was afraid that the little flower fairy would continue to chase after it, so she called out softly, "Ling Mi, come back. Don't chase after that evil spirit anymore. You'll be in danger if you continue."

Yang Shilin, who was standing in front of Princess Hua Chao, let out a light breath, but he had not yet regained consciousness.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet? Isn't there no evil spirit in his body?" Ling Mi asked, landing on the princess' hair.

"Perhaps the evil spirit has been in the body for too long, and it has consumed too much of the vitality. Let's wait and see."

Princess Hua Chao stood up and prepared to go see Mother Yang, but suddenly she felt dizzy and lost her balance and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ling Mi was so frightened that she trembled.

"Nothing, just got up a little too fast and felt a little dizzy."

"I think it's because of too much spiritual energy loss. Let's go back home quickly."

Princess Huachao stood up again and walked towards the old woman's room, muttering to herself: "The young master hasn't woken up yet, how dare I leave? I'll go see his poor old mother first. We'll go back home as soon as the young master wakes up."

"elder sister……"

"Don't worry, Lingmi. I will keep my word this time."

The Sixth Princess came to the bedside of Yang Shilin's mother, but saw that the old lady had white hair, a haggard face, a dirty face, and was skinny.

"Alas! She is such a pitiful person. I wonder how she managed to survive these years."

The "Spirit Pearl" in the princess's hand flickered and slowly circled in her palm.

"Sister! You must never abuse your spiritual power like this again. You have just used up the 'magic elixir' to treat Yang Shilin, and now you want to use the 'magic elixir' to treat this old woman's eye disease. What are you doing?" Xiao Hua was heartbroken and tried her best to dissuade her.

"It's okay. My spiritual power will recover in a short period of time, but their illness cannot be cured in this lifetime. Let me alleviate her pain a little."

Princess Huachao ignored Lingmi's pleading advice and urged the "magic pill" to slide across the blind old lady's eyes.

A dazzling aura lingered over the blind eyes, but blood dripped from the corners of the princess' lips.

The colorful glow of the clouds is flowing, and the glow of the "magic pill" is gradually fading.

"puff……"

The Sixth Princess suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and her face turned pale instantly.

Ling Mi hurriedly protected the "elixir" of Princess Hua Chao, only to see a tiny crack suddenly appear on the elixir. Then, only a faint light remained on the elixir, appearing and disappearing like a firefly.

"Ah! What should we do? The consumption of the 'elixir' is so great."

The spiritual honey flashed three-colored petals, and a "rainbow spiritual light" appeared, pushing the Sixth Princess' "elixir" into her body.

"We must hurry back home without delay. Only the Water God's 'Golden Silk Green Dew Armor' can save you now!"

Ling Mi pulled the princess up and wanted to go back, but Hua Chao panted and said to the princess: "Ling Mi, listen to me first. I can't use my spiritual power to go back to the Water Palace now. Why don't you go back first and I will follow slowly."

"Sister, it's all my fault that I didn't stop you in time. Now that you're in this state, how can I abandon you?"

"Then you protect me, and we'll go back home now."

The princess forced herself to stand up and walked to the door of the hut. Suddenly, she heard a lot of noise outside the yard. The lanterns and torches made the small hut as bright as day. The old mulberry tree in the yard swayed strangely in the firelight.

An old man stood in the crowd and shouted into the house, "Yang Shilin, is Young Master Yang here?"

Someone in the crowd accused, "Father, don't call me Young Master Yang anymore. Three years ago, the Yang family had a demonic incident. That night, the village was covered with dark clouds, there was a violent storm, ghosts were howling, and demonic energy was rising to the sky. The Yang family was in the middle of the demonic energy, and overnight Yang Shilin turned into a stupid child. Tonight, another demon killed eight people from our clan, and we chased him and fled here. How can people not suspect that Yang Shilin is possessed by a demon? Why are you still calling him? It's better to just burn down this thatched house, maybe the demon can be destroyed."

"That's not necessarily true. We saw that evil spirit killing people just now. It was so powerful that it killed several people in the blink of an eye. How could a fire kill that evil spirit?"

The elders raised their torches and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet. We have watched Yang Shilin grow up. He is kind and honest. Even though he is stupid now, he only begs for food from the families in the village and has never hurt anyone. The evil spirit tonight just fled to the Yang family. No one knows what happened. Let me call Yang Shilin out and ask him first."

"Yang Shilin! Young Master Yang, come out and talk..." the elders shouted loudly into the thatched cottage again.

The crowd behind him was angry, and everyone held up torches.

"Yang Shilin, come out! Yang Shilin, come out..." everyone shouted in unison.

The Sixth Princess behind the thatched hut was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly and hid behind the blind old woman's bed.

"Sister, it seems that the fox demon that escaped just now murdered and framed her. That demon is so abominable."

"Now I can no longer use my spiritual power. I can only hide first. We will go back home after they leave." Princess Hua Chao used a magic trick in her hand to restore the thatched hut to its original state.

After shouting for a long time, Yang Shilin did not come out. The elders of the village bravely held up torches and prepared to go into the house to check.

"Elders, please don't go in. What if the evil spirit is inside?" A young man in the village said worriedly.

"I'm not afraid that Yang Shilin won't hurt me. I talked to him at the entrance of the village in the evening." The elders of the village insisted on going into the house to check despite the villagers' dissuasion.

Princess Hua Chao hurriedly hid in the painting of ladies hanging beside the bed, only to see an old man coming to Yang Shilin's bed, looking around with a torch in his hand, and then patting Yang Shilin who was lying on the bed.

"Yang Shilin, wake up..."

"Ah...sleep well, sleep well!" Yang Shilin stretched lazily on the bed, slowly got up, stood by the bed and stared at the old man in surprise, and asked in surprise: "Why are the elders of the village in my house? Why are you lighting a torch to wake me up? Is there something important that I can help with?"

The elders were so frightened that they took several steps back, sat down on the ground and exclaimed: "You...you...how did you recover overnight?"

Seeing this, several villagers standing outside the thatched hut ran out of the yard.

"Ah! Yang Shilin is not stupid. It would be strange if this weren't some evil spirit doing something strange!"

When the villagers saw the miserable appearance of the few people who had fled in panic, they immediately began to cry out in surprise.

"Kill him quickly, kill him quickly..."

"The elders of the village, please come out quickly..."

"Kill that monster..."

Outside the house the crowd was in chaos.

Yang Shilin stepped forward to support the elders and asked, "Why are the elders so afraid of me? Why do those people outside want to kill me?"

"You...are you Yang Shilin?" The elders of the village looked at the young man in front of them and asked.

"How come you suddenly don't recognize me? I am Yang Shilin, the scholar! I have a blind old mother, and my father is a teacher in this village!"

"Son! Who is outside the house?" The old lady's low voice came from the half-hut.

But the old woman exclaimed again: "Ah...how come my blind old woman can see things suddenly tonight!"

When Yang Shilin heard his old mother calling him, he didn't bother to say anything more to the elders in front of him and ran quickly to his mother's room.

The elders in the village were so frightened that their legs went weak and they tumbled out of the thatched hut.
