Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

"Hello, do you want to exchange spirit coins? Or do you want a Heart Demon Package?"

At the spirit coin exchange office next to the Heart Sea, Shi Ning was on duty today.

And what was very rare was that Shi Ning was not accompanied by Xiao Chanchan.

Shi Ning was unable to answer the questions Mo Ling asked last night. As her relationship with Xiao Chanchan was gradually revealed, she gradually discovered that her emotions were a little abnormal. She seemed to really treat Xiao Chanchan as her own daughter.

So even though she still didn't know how to overcome the inner demon calamity, she still accepted Mo Ling's suggestion and tried to stay away from Xiao Chanchan for a while.

Perhaps when Shi Ning no longer faces his inner demon with a doting heart, he will be able to see the way to break through the inner demon calamity.

"Huh? Shi Ning is on duty today? Where's Mo Ling? How can he let his wife work while he goes out to play?"

The customer at the counter joked.

"He and Master Zhengguang are studying a special case, so he asked me to help temporarily."

Shi Ning said.

"Oh? I see. I have seen many people go to see Master Zhengguang these days. They have worked hard. Where is your daughter?"

The guest asked again.

"She's at home, so I won't bring her out for work. Do you want to exchange spirit coins or buy the Heart Demon Package?"

Shi Ning smiled and helped the guest exchange some materials.

"Huh? Why is it Shi Ning? Don't you need to take care of your daughter?"

The second customer came to the counter and asked about Xiao Chanchan as well.

"I'm helping Mo Ling run the stall today, so I'll let Xiao Chanchan play at home by herself."

Shi Ning continued to smile and completed another business deal.

"Is it Shi Ning? Where's your daughter..."

When many guests saw Shi Ning, the first thing they asked was about her daughter.

Everyone seemed very surprised that Shi Ning actually left her daughter at home alone without taking her with her.

Shi Ning was also very surprised. When did Xinmo's popularity become higher than his own? When everyone met him, they always asked about Xiao Chanchan instead of chatting with him.

Obviously, many of the guests were friends of Mo Ling and Shi Ning, and they often met and had gatherings in the past.

"Good morning, Shi Ning, how come you have time to help Mo Ling run the stall today?"

Director Mu Xin of the Yanling Library also came to the spirit coin exchange office.

"Mo Ling wants to discuss a case with Master Zhengguang, so he asked me for help."

Shi Ning answered.

"Is Xiaochanchan home alone?"

"Yes, she is already a 9-year-old girl and can do some things independently. It won't be a problem for her to come out for a day."

"That's great. You can relax for a while. You've been focusing all your attention on your daughter this past year. It must have been hard."

Hearing what Director Mu Xin said, Shi Ning's heart was suddenly touched.

Among so many guests, Director Mu Xin was the only one who cared about Shi Ning instead of Xiao Chanchan.

"Thank you, Director. I don't know why everyone only asked about Xiao Chanchan when they saw me today. Thank you for caring about me."

Shi Ning thanked Director Mu Xin.

"Because in the past year, you have devoted all your heart and soul to Xiao Chanchan. When she is happy, you are happy, and when she is sad, you are sad. When people see you, they naturally talk about the topics that you care about most."

Director Mu Xin said.

Shi Ning was stunned for a moment.

Is that so?

She couldn't even remember how she had gotten along with other immortals in the past year.

It seemed that in this year, she was indifferent to everything except Xiao Chanchan.

Director Mu Xin left, and other customers lined up to the counter. While working, Shi Ning thought about what she had been doing this year. After a morning, she sighed heavily.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Mo Ling took a drink and came to the counter, looking at Shi Ning with some worry and some doting.

"I'm not tired, but I just realized that I haven't paid attention to anything except Xiao Chanchan in the past year."

Shi Ning said.

"It's okay. If Xiao Chanchan is really our child, we will naturally devote all our energy to taking care of her during her growing period."

Mo Ling comforted.

"But Xiao Chanchan is not our child, it is just a demon in our heart."

“Because you’re practicing.”

This time, it was Mo Ling who persuaded Shi Ning instead.

"No, I think I really spoiled her too much. Even now I am always worried about whether Xiao Chanchan is doing well at home. This love for the child has deteriorated. I rely too much on my inner demons."

Shi Ning took the initiative to say this, which made Mo Ling feel much more at ease.

"It's okay, honey."

Mo Ling held Shi Ning's hand and continued:

"Now that you have realized this, we can change our mindset, stop relying on our inner demons, and find a way to break through them. Don't worry, I will always be with you!"

Shi Ning nodded and said thank you.

The two decided to take a break, hung a sign at the spirit currency exchange office indicating that they were taking a temporary break, and went to the grilled fish stall to have lunch.

Mo Ling ordered a very sumptuous meal. This was the first time he and Shi Ning had eaten alone at the grilled fish stall since it opened. Although they had eaten at the grilled fish stall several times before, there was always a demon around him.

The two of them chatted with laughter, full of happiness. Until the delicious dishes were served, Shi Ning's expression suddenly changed a little.

"what happened?"

Mo Ling asked.

"I thought of Xiao Chanchan. I wonder if she had a good meal at home."

Shi Ning said.

"Didn't you leave lunch for her? Don't worry, she listens to you so much that she will eat on time."

Mo Ling said.

"But I only left a lunch box for her, and now we are eating a feast, which doesn't seem fair to her..."

"Stop it, dear."

Seeing that Shi Ning couldn't help but worry about Xiao Chanchan's every move, Mo Ling couldn't help but interrupt her.

"Xiao Chanchan is a demon in your heart. As long as you don't eliminate it, she will always exist in your heart. It won't matter even if you don't eat for a few years. And the grilled fish stall is there every day. We can just bring her there to eat next time. There's no need to miss a good meal just because she's not here."

Mo Ling's tone was not harsh, but full of concern and persuasion, but it did not sound so pleasant to Shi Ning.

She frowned, said nothing, and lowered her head to eat. The meal was ultimately spent in silence.

After lunch, Mo Ling and Shi Ning separated again and went to work separately. But Shi Ning became more and more restless, missing Xiao Chanchan more and more, and even wanted to cry, as if he had been separated from his child for a whole year.

After persisting for another 2 hours, Shi Ning finally couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly left the spirit coin exchange place and ran to Mo Ling.

"Honey, I want to go back."

Shi Ning said with tears in her eyes.
