Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"Yuanyuan!" She tried to grab Lu Yuan, but she failed to catch him. Instead, a warm orange-yellow light descended over her head.

Lu He only felt sweat mixed with blood from her temples flowing down her face. She raised her head tremblingly and saw that pale face again as expected.

The blood from before came out again, and she could even feel the dampness of the blood soaking through the soles of her shoes.

She was so frightened that she dared not move. Just when she thought she was going to die, the ghost shopkeeper actually "floated" past her and went straight to the group of villagers.

"Tell me...are you staying at the hotel or not..."

boom--

The thunder outside sounded at a very opportune moment. The group of people could no longer bear it and started to scream and run outside in a swarm. Some of the slow runners were knocked down by the people behind them and had no time to stand up so they could only crawl out using their hands and feet.

The lively scene of fighting and killing just now suddenly dispersed, and the first floor became quiet. Only Lu He, who was still stubborn and dared not move, and the waiter with half of his neck broken and his head tilted were left.

"Yuanyuan..." Lu He came back to her senses and ignored the ghost behind her for the time being. She found that her brother had disappeared since he let go of her clothes.

She was anxiously looking for him when she saw Lu Yuan coming out from somewhere holding the hand of another child. He looked at her excitedly, "Sister! This little brother is so funny. He can even play hide-and-seek."

Lu He looked worried, not knowing whether to cry or be glad that Lu Yuan was okay.

The waiter turned around, still looking lifeless, and said, "You...can continue to stay...I don't want any money."

After he finished speaking, he moved his eyes, which had long lost focus, and looked at the boy following behind Lu Yuan, "Yueyue... likes to play with him..."

Lu He looked at the boy with a big hole in his chest that Lu Yuan brought out, and he couldn't help but feel a heart attack, and unconsciously protected Lu Yuan tightly.

Although it is difficult to get along with ghosts, Lu Yuan also realized that the ghost father and son did not seem to have any intention of eating people for the time being.

The waiter was about to float back after saying this. Lu He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for what I did just now."

After saying that, she and Lu Yuan bowed to the father and son.

The waiter paused for a moment, but didn't turn around. He went straight back into the house. Then, the little ghost named Yueyue also disappeared on the spot.

It started raining again outside, so Lu He had no choice but to take his brother back to the house.

The store finally became quiet again in the second half of the night.

Of course, Shen Qiao didn't know about these episodes. Wang You set up a barrier in her room, allowing her to sleep until noon the next day.

This retaliatory sleep effectively relieved fatigue, and at least my mind was clear.

Zhang Wan stayed with her all night, and now that she had woken up, she returned to her sea of ​​consciousness.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and checked his recovery status—he was at the Great Perfection of the Soaring Cloud Realm. He was a whole realm lower than his previous peak.

But think on the bright side...at least I've recovered a lot more than when the ceremony just ended.

She slowly guided the spiritual energy in those spiritual veins to circulate in circles. Ever since Wang You helped her clear the blockage, she no longer felt that sense of obstruction when practicing.

After a few small cycles of circulation, her dantian gradually filled up. She gathered her spiritual power, exhaled, and opened her eyes again.

The sky was clear outside and sunlight was pouring in through the window.

She got out of bed, tidied the mattress, went to the door and opened it, just in time to meet Lu He who was also coming out of the house.

The two looked at each other for a moment. Lu He saw that she was still frowning unconsciously, but her attitude was not as aggressive as yesterday, as if he simply didn't like her.

"Yesterday...thank you for your companions." Lu He took the initiative to speak, "I am biased. Sorry."

Shen Qiao waved his hands and chuckled, "It's okay, I understand. But there's something I'm actually quite curious about. Can I ask you?"

Lu He nodded, "You say."

"Why did you two siblings rush out of the village?" Shen Qiao asked pointedly.

Lu He was obviously very resistant to this question. Her expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again. "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious." Shen Qiao clasped his hands in front of him and leaned against the door frame with a natural expression.

"Of course, we are just strangers who have met once, so you don't have to tell me."

Lu He stood there, hesitating for a long time, and finally turned his head. "If you also want to go out to sea, I advise you: you'd better give up this idea."

Shen Qiao nodded, accepting the suggestion frankly, but then added, "There must always be a reason for persuading people."

"That's just a scam!" Lu He said excitedly.

"Those first people who encountered the Sirens disappeared within ten days of returning! Since then, at least a hundred fishing boats have braved storms and sailed out to sea, along with hundreds of people! And what happened? Only ten people ever returned!"

After she finished speaking, she held her arms with both hands, still terrified, "You haven't experienced these things, so you have no idea how strange that sea is."

"That's not a 'miracle'...it's a sign of disaster!"

Shen Qiao: “…”

Seeing Lu He's obvious and extraordinary fear, Shen Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and caught the key words in her words...

"'Experienced'?" she repeated, and Lu He, who was originally in a daze, was stunned for a moment.

"Are you one of the people experiencing this for the first time?"

Lu He moved her throat, and she took a step back in fear, almost tripping over the threshold.

"No, I am not…"

Seeing that she was in a tense state, Shen Qiao hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up the idea of ​​directly searching her soul and walked over to reveal his identity.

"We are monks who are here to deal with this matter." As she spoke, she conjured up the ordinary badge she showed to others.

"Don't be afraid. We are just disguising our identities to investigate. We won't force you to do anything."

After hearing this, the nervousness and fear in Lu He's eyes seemed to be less serious.

She looked at the badge with half belief and half doubt. There were a few words engraved on it - the third generation disciple of Tianxing Sect, Shen Qiao.

"You...you are really a monk?" Hope rekindled in her eyes.

Shen Qiao smiled, "It's genuine."

Lu He's eyes turned red, and his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"If you are really an immortal, I, Lu He, apologize for offending you last night." After saying that, she was about to kowtow regardless of anything, but before she touched the ground, she was lifted up by an invisible force.

"It's okay. Actually, I'm not used to meeting people like this." Shen Qiao helped her up and comforted her.

"So... can you tell me about your story now?"

Lu He looked at her, smiled through his tears and nodded, "Of course, I'll tell you everything I know."
