After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Liu Yunshu and her son were waiting at the entrance of the Ye family's house. Ye Yaoyao was carried down from the carriage, and they quickly surrounded her.

"What's wrong with Yao Yao?"

Liu Yunshu's voice trembled uncontrollably.

There was thunder and lightning but no rain, and the strange phenomenon worried them greatly.

Thunder roared again, and lightning flashed across the sky, but not a single drop of rain fell. How could such a strange sight not make them worried, their hearts pounding in their throats?

"Let's find a royal physician to take a look first!"

Ye Xiumu carried Ye Yaoyao through the door. Having lost a part of her soul, it was unknown what she would be like.

However, Ye Yaoyao's face was pale, and the Imperial Physician looked puzzled after a careful examination.

"The girl's pulse is very steady, and her breathing is long and even. She is not sick and is sound asleep."

"Uncle Cen, please examine it carefully again."

Losing a soul would definitely harm the body, so how could it be while asleep?

Even if they are diagnosed as mentally disabled, their household can afford to support them.

"Nothing's wrong, I just fell asleep."

I heard that the girl inexplicably fell asleep during the last solar eclipse, and she's still asleep during this thunderstorm. That girl is really something else.

Physician Cen spoke with great certainty.

No wonder the people call her a little fairy.

"It seems we can only wait for Yaoyao to wake up."

The news that Ye Yaoyao had fallen asleep for no apparent reason was spread again.

The storytellers in the restaurant seized the opportunity and began to weave stories with boundless imagination.

The general idea is that whenever strange celestial phenomena foreshadow a great calamity, the minor deity will leave his body and ascend to heaven to plead with the gods to avert the disaster.

Thanks to the storyteller's vivid narration, Ye Yaoyao's image as a savior of suffering quickly became known throughout the entire imperial city.

Ironically, the people believed it wholeheartedly and brought all sorts of things, quickly filling the area in front of the Ye family's house with gifts.

The celestial phenomena were unusual twice in a short period of time. Even those who did not believe before now believed that Ye Yaoyao was a living deity and felt that as long as she was there, disaster would not befall the imperial city.

Qin Jingyu was filled with worry and made sure to come to the Ye family every day. Ye Yaoyao slept for half a month.

When Ye Yaoyao opened her eyes, she found herself surrounded by people, each familiar face filled with concern.

"Little sister's awake. What time is it?"

Ye Jingyang's voice trembled with excitement as he eagerly stretched out his palm, staring intently at her, afraid of missing any of her reactions.

Ye Yaoyao: "..."

Is Second Brother stupid?

"My dear granddaughter, what do you call your grandfather?"

Lord Ye also came over, his face beaming with joy, making Ye Yaoyao feel like an old man was teasing a child.

"...Maternal grandfather".

"My dear granddaughter answered correctly." The old Marquis smiled so broadly that his eyes were almost closed; thank God he hadn't gone mad.

"Get out of here, you old geezer. Anyone would know what to call you if you asked like that."

Old Madam Ye pushed the person aside with a displeased expression and looked at Ye Yaoyao with a loving face.

"Sweetie, do you recognize me as your grandmother? Have you forgotten anything? Or are you feeling unwell?"

"Grandma, I'm hungry!"

Ye Yaoyao had no idea how long it had been since she had eaten, and at that moment she just wanted to fill her stomach.

"My little one is hungry. Quick, bring the food up."

The kitchen was well-prepared, carefully keeping various foods warm every day, hoping that Ye Yaoyao could eat something hot as soon as she woke up.

Before long, the maids hurried in, carrying food in single file.

Ye Yaoyao was extremely hungry, her eyes fixed on the steaming dishes. As soon as the food was served, she couldn't wait to start eating.

She waved her hands incessantly, her chopsticks moving rapidly through the plate, picking up food and putting it into her mouth without blowing on it to cool it down.

"Daughter, eat slowly and be careful not to burn yourself."

Seeing that the food was still steaming, and noticing that she was eating too quickly, Liu Yunshu was afraid that she would burn herself, so she puffed out her cheeks and blew on it for her.

The others carefully observed Ye Yaoyao's every move.

Ye Xiyao looked even more worried. She gently reached out and touched the porcelain bowl containing the food. With a "hiss," the heat from it made her hand recoil.

"Little sister, eat slowly. The food has been kept warm over the charcoal fire. You're too hungry to feel the heat yet. Be careful not to burn your mouth."

"I didn't feel hot."

Ye Yaoyao's mouth was stuffed full, and she mumbled a reply, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster.

"How could that be? It's definitely very hot."

Ye Xiyao looked suspicious, picked up the chopsticks beside her, took a bite of food and put it in her mouth, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and spat it out.

"It's so hot! Little sister, why don't you feel it?"

Seeing Ye Xiyao's actions, Ye Yaoyao stopped wolfing down her food and reached out to touch the porcelain bowl containing the dishes.

The bowl was still steaming, but she couldn't feel any warmth when she touched it.

She paused, then murmured...

"I...can't feel any temperature."

Only then did she realize that she had lost a part of her soul. She reached out and twisted her arm hard, and a red mark instantly appeared on her fair skin, but she didn't feel any pain.

It seems that the lost soul has lost its senses and cannot feel hot or cold, or even pain.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Looking at the red pinch marks and then at the painless expression on her face, everyone couldn't help but ask in unison.

"It doesn't hurt; it seems you've lost consciousness."

Ye Yaoyao spoke casually, but the others looked distressed.

Liu Yunshu's eyes instantly reddened, and she cupped her face to examine her mouth.

"It's red from the burn; it'll probably start blistering later. Go get some ointment to apply to the young lady."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not in pain."

Fearing her mother wouldn't believe her, Ye Yaoyao smiled and snuggled into her mother's arms.

They don't feel pain but they get hurt. They only know that Ye Yaoyao removes evil spirits and that only she can save the world. Liu Yunshu feels sorry for her daughter.

"Tingqin and Fuling, you two remember this from now on: you can't give Yaoyao anything hot or cold directly."

Liu Yunshu turned to look at the two maids and solemnly gave them instructions.

"Yes, madam, we understand."

Once everyone was sure Ye Yaoyao hadn't done anything wrong, they gradually dispersed, but all of them went to the study without prior arrangement.

"Have you noticed anything amiss?"

Lord Ye always felt that something was missing.

"Grandfather, is something wrong?" Ye Jingyang asked, puzzled.

"It seems like something's missing."

The old marquis slapped his forehead in frustration, unable to figure out what it was.

At this moment, Qin Jingyu answered softly:

"I can't hear what Yao Yao is thinking."

That system should be gone by now!

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. I haven't heard what Yaoyao really thinks since she woke up. What about you?"

"no!"

"I didn't hear it either."

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Will we never hear our little sister's true feelings again?"

Ye Jingyang felt a little regretful, thinking that he would have to eat much less melon.

"As long as Yaoyao is safe and sound, nothing else matters."

Ye Xiumu recalled the terrifying strange phenomena he had experienced in Taigu Mountain. It was only thanks to God that his daughter survived in that situation.

Whether she becomes an ordinary person or not, they will protect her well.
