The guardian spirit's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the door to Shen Ying's memories and pulling her back to that thrilling battle.

The image of that terrifying monster, covered in long white hair and full of fangs, appeared clearly in her mind. It roared and pounced on her, its ferocious appearance sending chills down her spine.

At the same time, I recalled how the monster had repeatedly been able to deliver a fatal blow, yet always held back at the crucial moment, and how a hint of hesitation would occasionally flash in its fierce eyes.

Shen Ying stared wide-eyed in shock at the soft, cute, fluffy ball in front of her, unable to connect it with the terrifying monster in her memory.

"This... how could this be the same one?" Shen Ying couldn't believe it.

Shen Ying opened her eyes wide with curiosity and stared intently at the guardian spirit, asking, "Could it be that all the monsters, insects, and other terrifying things we've encountered along the way were raised by you?"

The guardian spirit slightly curled the corners of its lips, a hint of a smile flashing in its eyes, and said, "Not entirely, it's just that many of the creatures in this ancient tomb have some connection with me."

His gaze was calm and profound, as if he were recalling something. Then he said slowly, "This place is mysterious and unpredictable. The existence of these creatures has its own laws. I am merely a little bit connected with them." After speaking, he looked at Shen Ying with gentle eyes.

As the dazzling light that illuminated the entire space gradually dimmed and softened, like a weary dancer slowing down their steps, the space, which was originally as bright as day, was enveloped in a tranquil blue hue, heralding the quiet arrival of night.

The next day, the guardian spirit led Shen Ying to an ancient altar, where a treasure box radiating a dazzling purple light was placed.

Shen Ying asked curiously, "My lord, how come there is such an ancient altar in this tomb?"

The guardian spirit patiently explained, "This altar was set up by a powerful being in ancient times to seal an energy containing the power of heaven and earth, so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of wicked people and causing chaos in the world."

Shen Ying was puzzled and couldn't help but ask again, "My lord, why did you bring me here?" The guardian spirit looked at her gently and said, "Because you need it." After saying that, the guardian spirit walked towards the treasure.

Shen Ying was even more puzzled: Strange? She needs the power of heaven and earth? What does she need that thing for? To dominate the martial arts world?

However, before she could ask, just as the guardian spirit was about to touch the treasure, a huge monster surrounded by a strange blue light suddenly darted out from the shadows beside the treasure.

This monster resembled a Qilin, but it had sharp horns and wings that burned with flames. Its eyes flashed with anger, and it spewed raging flames from its mouth as it launched a fierce attack on the guardian spirit.

The guardian spirit remained calm. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated backward like a ghost, easily avoiding the scorching flames.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A dazzling golden light shot out from his hands and struck the monster directly.

The monster roared and flapped its enormous wings, creating a powerful whirlwind in an attempt to block the attack of the light.

The guardian spirit flashed and instantly appeared above the monster. It clenched its fists and slammed them down with boundless power.

The monster nimbly dodged to the side, while simultaneously reaching for the guardian spirit with its sharp claws.

The guardian spirit flipped to the side, skillfully dodging the attack. Then, he formed hand seals again, summoning a rain of ice that poured down on the monster.

The monster charged left and right in the icy rain, but the flames on its body did not diminish at all.

Upon seeing this, the guardian spirit's eyes narrowed, and a powerful aura emanated from its body. It clasped its hands together, then suddenly separated them, and a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at the monster.

The monster was struck by this powerful force and let out a painful roar.

But it did not back down; instead, it pounced on the guardian spirit even more frantically.

The guardian spirit moves gracefully, weaving freely through the monsters' attacks, each strike carrying a sharp momentum and precise judgment.

Shen Ying cried out anxiously from the side, "My lord, be careful!"

Hearing Shen Ying's call, the guardian spirit turned around and gave her a reassuring look.

He focused his attention on the monster again, his hands moving rapidly in a series of hand seals as he chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation.

A pale blue light emanated from the guardian spirit's body, gradually gathering in his palm to form a dazzling energy ball.

He hurled the energy ball at the monster with a loud bang. The energy ball exploded on the monster's body, and the monster howled in pain as the blue light on its body dimmed considerably.

The guardian spirit seized the opportunity to fly forward, and a sword gleaming with a cold light appeared in its hand without anyone noticing.

He brandished his sword, and the sword flashed like a storm as it attacked the monster.

Despite its fierce resistance, the monster gradually showed signs of defeat under the guardian spirit's relentless attacks.

Finally, the guardian spirit seized the opportunity and pierced the monster's vital point with its sword.

The monster's massive body crashed down, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing without a trace.

The guardian spirit walked from the altar with a treasure chest to Shen Ying and gestured for her to open it.

Although Shen Ying was puzzled, she obediently opened the treasure chest. The moment the chest was opened, a dazzling golden light shot straight into her brow and instantly entered her body.

Shen Ying felt a warm current flowing over her entire body. Wherever that warm current reached, it was like the warm spring sun shining on the frozen earth, bringing endless vitality and life.

She felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort, as if the heavy shackles that had been pressing down on her had been broken in an instant.

The lingering fatigue that had plagued her since her hospitalization seemed to vanish completely at this moment.

The discomfort in various parts of my body seemed to be gradually repaired under this warm power.

She could clearly feel every cell rejoicing, and every inch of her skin radiating a new glow.

A surprised smile bloomed on Shen Ying's face, and her eyes sparkled with excitement as she experienced this miraculous change.

The guardian spirit watched her with a smile, its eyes full of relief and tenderness.

"This is amazing! How did this happen? How did you know I needed it, sir?" Shen Ying asked in surprise.

“Your vital energy is severely depleted and you haven’t fully recovered yet. However, this power can only help you this far. You still need to…” The guardian spirit paused before continuing, “Take good care of yourself.”

Shen Ying nodded thoughtfully, understanding in her heart.

She recalled the time she was hospitalized before, and the doctor said that her body had been overworked for a long time, which eventually led to her illness!

In fact, she has often ignored her physical discomfort lately.

The main thing is that she feels pretty good every time she wakes up after a good night's sleep.

Although she would feel that heavy fatigue after a day's activities, she could recover after a good night's sleep, so it didn't have a big impact on her.

However, the fact that the guardian spirit could sense the abnormality in Shen Ying's body moved Shen Ying deeply.
