When I returned to my place, it was already past ten in the evening. I had thought that He Ying would have been asleep by then, but when I walked into the room, I found her waiting in the living room, playing a game. To my surprise, Liu Zhenxian was sitting next to her, holding a phone and playing along with He Ying.
I walked over to take a look and discovered that they were playing a mobile game called Honor of Kings. He Ying was so engrossed in the game that she didn't even notice me standing behind her. In contrast, Liu Zhenxian did notice my presence; he merely glanced at me before returning his focus to his game.
“Liu Zhenxian, how could you be so foolish? Why are you running under someone else's defense tower? Can't you stand back a little?” He Ying shot him an exasperated glare and scolded him without holding back.
Liu Zhenxian smiled awkwardly and replied, “He Ying, don’t worry. I just started playing. I get it now; I won't let you down.”
After a while, He Ying shot another cold glare at Liu Zhenxian and said irritably, “Hey, Liu Zhenxian, this is just too pathetic! You're a tank; why are you hiding behind everyone? Don’t be scared! Just charge in and smash them all down.”
Liu Zhenxian felt uncomfortable under He Ying's gaze. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said with a smile, “I understand now; I'll pay more attention next time.”
Watching their exchange, I shook my head in disbelief. While they were busy gaming, I took a set of clothes from my bedroom and went to the bathroom for a shower. When I finished and came out, He Ying and Liu Zhenxian had just completed their last match.
“Hmph, Liu Zhenxian, you really are too much of a burden. If it weren't for my exceptional skills, we would have lost long ago,” He Ying huffed, striking a triumphant pose in front of Liu Zhenxian.
Liu Zhenxian smiled awkwardly again, looking at He Ying with gentle eyes as he said, “He Ying, you're still amazing.”
At that moment, He Ying noticed me for the first time. She walked over casually and patted my shoulder with a greedy smile on her face. “Jiang Ling, all the talismans you drew today have sold out. Tomorrow you need to draw another box of talismans; otherwise, don’t even think about going out.”
“Oh right, here’s this stone back to you. It’s getting late; I’m heading to bed now.” He Ying shoved the Soul Nourishing Stone into my hand and yawned before quickly walking into her own room without giving me a chance to respond.
I shook my head in disbelief again and put the Soul Nourishing Stone into my pocket. After turning off the lights in the living room, I returned to my own bedroom.
I lay in bed, glancing at Liu Zhenxian beside me, and asked, "Liu Zhenxian, how was your time with He Ying today?"
A rare smile appeared on Liu Zhenxian's face as he waved his new phone, chuckling, "This is the phone my daughter bought for me. It's the first time I've spent time with my daughter, and it feels quite wonderful."
Liu Zhenxian was visibly excited. Sitting cross-legged next to me, he detailed everything that had happened today, including what He Ying had for lunch, sharing every little detail.
Seeing Liu Zhenxian's excited expression made me happy for him. I lay there quietly listening to him talk, occasionally asking a question or two.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed, and Liu Zhenxian finished recounting his day with He Ying. Then he turned to me with a puzzled look and asked, "Jiang Ling, when you came back earlier, I sensed a faint Eerie Aura around you. What have you been up to today?"
Hearing Liu Zhenxian's words reminded me of the Iron Can in my backpack. I frowned and quickly got up from the bed to retrieve it, placing the Iron Can in front of Liu Zhenxian.
He picked up the Iron Can and examined it closely before asking, "Jiang Ling, where did you get this?"
I didn't hide anything from Liu Zhenxian and briefly recounted what had happened today. However, most of the details were based on my deductions; although I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I was certain that the Iron Can contained a demon crafted using the Twelve Fiends Resurrection Technique.
I glanced at the Iron Can and asked, "Liu Zhenxian, do you have any way to eliminate this demon beforehand? If it gets released, dealing with it could be troublesome."
Liu Zhenxian scoffed dismissively. He casually tossed the Iron Can in his hand a few times before replying, "Jiang Ling, it's just a mere demon. Even if it was created using the Twelve Fiends Resurrection Technique, once it's out, it won't pose much of a threat in my hands."
Having spent the last few days cultivating inside the Soul Nourishing Stone, Liu Zhenxian's injuries had healed somewhat. In two or three days, he would likely reach the level of Eternal Ghost King.
And no matter how strong the demon inside the Iron Can was, it wouldn't surpass Liu Zhenxian's strength as an Eternal Ghost King. This was precisely why Liu Zhenxian was so confident.
"Jiang Ling, I'll take care of this demon. He Ying is in need of a guardian, and this demon is just right for the job. Once it is born, I will leave a mark inside it, making it recognize He Ying as its master." A glint flashed in Liu Zhenxian's eyes as he waved at me, snatching the Soul Nourishing Stone from my pocket.
Liu Zhenxian held the Soul Nourishing Stone in his left hand, muttering strange incantations. I watched as he summoned the Eerie Aura within him to envelop the Iron Can, then with a clap of his right hand, he directly stored the Iron Can containing the demon into the Soul Nourishing Stone.
Seeing Liu Zhenxian's methods surprised me a bit, but knowing that he was handling the demon put my mind at ease. I nodded at Liu Zhenxian and said, "Liu Zhenxian, thank you for your help this time."
After storing the demon in the Soul Nourishing Stone, Liu Zhenxian had exhausted more than half of his Eerie Aura, causing his soul form to become somewhat unstable. He shook his head at me and looked into my eyes seriously, saying, "Jiang Ling, you don't need to be so polite. You've helped me so much this time; these things are what I should do."
Due to his unstable soul form, Liu Zhenxian didn't say much more and transformed into a wisp of Eerie Aura, diving into the Soul Nourishing Stone. Meanwhile, I was already exhausted from running around and having fought with Wang Hongtao. My back ached as I lay on the bed with my eyes closed. Before long, I drifted off to sleep.
