My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

Grandma Bai felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she asked Grandpa Bai to take care of the outside world. Then she brought Shi Erye to her studio.

The room was closed. It was a little dark. The shelves around were filled with all kinds of books, bottles, jars, and strange things...

Grandma Bai didn't turn on the lights, and in the dim light, she explained to Shi Erye the solution she had come up with.

"My dear, I'll tell you clearly. Ever since your mother told me about your situation, I have looked up many ancient books, but I still can't find a way to crack it..."

Before Grandma Bai finished her words, Shi Er's face turned pale. She knew that this matter was difficult to solve. But she still held out hope. Now that Grandma had revealed the truth, her heart inevitably sank to the bottom...

"My dear, don't be so sad. I haven't finished talking yet. Listen to what I have come up with and see if it is feasible. I will always be with you, help you and support you!" Seeing her granddaughter's ugly face, Grandma Bai quickly explained.

"Grandma, please tell me. No matter what method it is, I want to try it with all my strength." Shi Erye looked at Grandma Bai with firm eyes and said.

"Okay! I thought that all the worlds have their own passages. It's unrealistic to search for them one by one. You are destined to travel to that world and have blood. This means that you have become the medium for the two worlds to connect. Otherwise, how can you travel back and forth between the two worlds? It's just that we haven't found a way to trigger the time passage. Grandma asks you, do you have any items from that world with you?"

"Hmm... Yes, but I can't take it out now." Shi Erye quickly thought of the shared space between her and Ming. Unfortunately, since she came back, she tried countless times. She could sense and see the items inside, but she couldn't take them out or put them in. It was as if there was an invisible wall separating her. Shi Erye told her grandmother about this situation.

"Ah~! In this case... don't worry. As long as you can still sense it, it means your bond with the other side has not been severed. Next, let's try my method. However... my method is very dangerous, uh... you..." Grandma Bai showed some reluctance on her face.

"Don't be afraid! Grandma, please! I can bear it, I will cooperate!" Shi Erye was anxious, holding Grandma Bai's hands tightly and begging.

"Hey~! All right! The method I'm going to use is the soul extraction method in ancient witchcraft. So far, I haven't used it. Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have only summoned souls. This soul extraction is to extract the soul alive. According to records, it is extremely painful and risky. We can't act too hastily, and we must be safe. I'll set the time to one stick of incense. When one stick of incense is up, no matter where you are, whether you have found him or not, you must return immediately. Do you understand clearly?" This is related to the safety of the two people's lives. Granny Bai repeatedly explained the interests involved to Shi Erye.

"Okay! Grandma, I've remembered it! Let's get started quickly!" Shi Erye urged nervously and excitedly.

"Okay!" Grandma Bai stood up and responded straightforwardly.

She lit the lamp in the middle of the room, which had been prepared long ago. A smell of animal fat, mixed with a sweet and fishy smell, hit her face.

Then, she took out an ancient black knife and a pure white jade cup with gold edges. "Come, cut your finger and put the blood in this jade cup." Grandma Bai handed Shi Erye the knife and cup.

Shi Erye took the knife without saying anything, and slashed it with a sharp knife, cutting his palm. The bright red blood soon dripped all over the jade cup.

"Enough! Enough! Bandage it up!" Grandma Bai carefully snatched the jade cup and knife. She took out the prepared medicine and bandaged her granddaughter. "Oh, it's just a cut finger! Look at you, you've got your hands injured before you even go to the battle. Oh!..." Grandma Bai complained distressedly.

"Grandma, it doesn't hurt. What else do you want to do? I can hold on!" Shi Erye seemed to really not feel any pain. He took the gauze from Grandma Bai's hand and wrapped it around several times. He didn't even frown.

"Hey~! Okay! Now, I'll take you there. Remember my instructions to you! Don't forget that you still have Tianbao and Libao waiting for you here!" Grandma Bai knew that her granddaughter was already extremely worried. If she didn't let her see her partner, she might go crazy. But she still had to remind her verbally. She was afraid that she would be emotional after she went there. Fortunately, she also had her concerns here. Grandma Bai felt relieved.

"Yes! I know!" When he mentioned his two treasures, Shi Erye's surging emotions were suppressed a little. His mind also became clearer and more rational.

Upon seeing this, Granny Bai turned around and added the blood to the forty-nine oil lamps placed on the ground.

"Okay! Come here and lie in the middle. Think about the place you want to go in that world. When you wake up again, a wisp of your soul will appear there. Remember! No matter whether you can find him or not, you must think of this place immediately when you hear my call. Return quickly!"

"Yes!" Shi Erye nodded and lay down as Grandma Bai said.

Grandma Bai stopped talking nonsense. She immediately sat cross-legged in meditation. She formed seals with her hands and chanted a spell quickly. As the spell was chanted faster and faster, Shi Erye felt a splitting headache and unbearable pain all over her body. It was like the pain of being skinned. She clenched her teeth and thought about Ming in her heart. She didn't cry out in pain. In her mind, she unconsciously thought of the world of two people with Ming by the lake.

As she thought about it, her consciousness began to fade away. When she woke up again, she actually arrived at their secret base.

"I... am back again! Ming!? I'm back!" Shi Erye jumped up happily. She took a deep breath and controlled the urge to shout loudly. She had not forgotten the situation in the southern border when she evacuated. The situation was still unclear. It was better to be cautious. The most urgent task was to find Ming as soon as possible. Thinking of her grandmother's instructions, Shi Erye began to get anxious.

Her mind was working rapidly. She placed her right hand on the mark on her chest and tried to sense it. As expected, she could sense Ming's location. In an instant, surprise filled her brain. She quickly ran towards the direction she sensed.

At the same time, Ming, who was desperately looking for his partner, also sensed her presence. The invisible wall seemed to have collapsed. He seemed to be able to touch his partner's real body. It had temperature and breath... It was no longer illusory.

Unable to hold back his inner ecstasy, he flashed towards the location he sensed. Yes, in the process of searching for Shi Erye, he had advanced again. With his current strength, it is no exaggeration to say that he can defeat all opponents in the southern and northern borders. If it weren't for the fact that his partner hadn't been found yet, he would have long ago eliminated all the traitors left in the southern border!

The two of them had a tacit understanding and created a beautiful two-way journey together. Uh...but the scene of this meeting was not very beautiful.

"Ah~! Huh~ Retreat! Retreat! Retreat..." Shi Erye looked at the savage who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was terrified to the extreme. He closed his eyes and waved his hands.

"Ye! Ye! It's me! It's me!" Ming carefully hugged Shi Erye, who was showing his fangs and claws, and explained.

"Ming? You are...Ming?" Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Erye mustered up his courage and tentatively opened his eyes. "Oh my! Oh my! You are really my dear! How did you become like this?" Looking at his partner with untidy beard, disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, Shi Erye was stunned for a moment.

"Well...it's just...I haven't washed for many days..." Knowing that his partner loved cleanliness, Ming lowered his head guiltily.

"Wuuuu... You have no idea how sad and upset I was these days when I couldn't find you. I felt like I was about to go see the Beast God. But I told myself not to give up. You must still be waiting for me! It must be my persistence that moved the Beast God. We are finally reunited! How great! I never want to be separated from Ye again! Sob... sob..." Ming expressed the pain of missing you these days.

Um... this... I should thank my grandma first! "Hey~! Okay! Okay! Stop crying! When you cry, the dust on your face will turn into black lines." Shi Erye joked, not disliking him. He hugged Ming and wiped his tears carefully.

"I miss you too!" After wiping Ming's face, Shi Erye took the initiative to kiss him and said, "But now is not the time to be happy. I came here this time thanks to my grandma. It was she who sent me back. We only have half an incense stick of time."

Ming then carefully observed his partner. He found that her palms were wrapped like dumplings. He couldn't help but blame himself. Ye must have endured a lot of pain to find him. Thinking about it, his heart was as painful as a knife. The tears that had stopped flowing out again.

"Oh! Stop crying and listen to me." Shi Erye couldn't help sobbing and said, "When we were halfway through the evacuation that day, I felt something was wrong. With Haha leading the way, I didn't worry about safety. The accident happened when we were exiting the cave. As soon as we exited the cave, we found that we were back in my hometown. Later, I searched for the cave many times but couldn't find it. In desperation, my mother found my grandmother and used ancient witchcraft to send me back. I thought, since witchcraft can send me back, then it can definitely take you to my hometown. Anyway, we have nothing to worry about here. It's better for us to all go back to my hometown. What do you think?" Shi Erye expressed his thoughts and looked at Ming expectantly.

"Okay! I'll listen to you! It's just that the way you came here was too risky. Next time I'll bring everyone to find you. We also have a witch here. I'll go find him then! Promise me that you won't do anything that will hurt yourself again! Leave everything to me, okay!?" Ming held Shi Erye's injured hand and kissed it.

"But……"

"Ye~! Be obedient!" Ming hugged Shi Erye tightly. Not wanting to waste every second they were together.

"Okay~!" Shi Erye compromised in Ming's hug and kiss.

"Xiao Ye~! Good boy~! My girl~!" Grandma Bai's call came into my mind, over and over again, becoming more and more urgent.

Shi Erye pushed Kaiming's arms away. "Grandma is calling me! I..."

"Go back soon! Take good care of yourself at home! I will come to you soon! Believe me!" Ming also felt the fluctuations in his partner's soul. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he had to say goodbye with a smile for her safety. But his expression, which was pretending to be relaxed, was still very stiff.

Shi Erye tried not to cry. Looking at her lover, she didn't want him to worry. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She thought about what Grandma Bai had said. She buried her head in Ming's chest because she didn't want to see Ming's painful eyes when he saw her disappear.

Ming also hugged his partner tightly until his arms were empty and without warmth. Ming stroked his chest, the tears left by his partner. He covered his eyes and moaned in pain. It took him a long while to come back to his senses.
