Yan Kongyue slept soundly until the afternoon of the next day. Just after waking up, the hotel doorbell rang.
Knowing it was you, Huo Jingyu opened the door without asking who it was.
"Is Yan Consultant awake?"
"Yes, she’s busy doing Feng Xing's hair!"
"Wow, Yan Consultant seems quite patient today!"
"What can I do? This little pest is driving me crazy!" The two entered the living room but didn’t see Yan Kongyue.
"She’s on the terrace; she’s worried about Feng Xing losing hair."
"Hehe!" Yan Xiao Jun scratched his brow, amused by Yan Consultant's down-to-earth nature.
"Hey, Yan Captain is here!" Yan Kongyue was just pulling the last strand of hair from the hair tie.
"Phew, I’m exhausted!"
"You just didn’t want to do it. You complain about a ponytail being tiring, but you used to chase me every day to do your hair when we were kids. Have you forgotten?" Feng Xing looked at herself in the mirror, checking from all angles, and despite the complaints, she was quite satisfied with the result.
"Enough already! Just stay here; we have serious matters to discuss with Yan Captain!" Yan Kongyue turned towards the living room.
Feng Xing tilted her body and asked, "Afraid I’ll overhear?"
"Afraid you'll die!"
Feng Xing stuck out her tongue. Others might think they were joking, but Yan Kongyue was serious.
"Lin Qian, when is the food coming?"
"It should be soon; I called twenty minutes ago!" Lin Qian glanced at her watch.
"Then let’s wait for the food to arrive!"
"You haven’t eaten yet?"
"Yeah, we haven’t slept much for two days and woke up late today. Don’t rush; the process of opening the spirit shouldn’t be disturbed. We’ll start once the waiter leaves."
"No hurry; you can start after you eat!" In truth, he was anxious. If it weren’t for considering Yan Kongyue and their need for rest, he would have come much earlier.
"No need; just eat first. We’ll need to eat after opening the spirit anyway; we’ve already wasted enough time."
"Hey, Yan Captain, what time did you finish?" Lin Qian handed a can of cola to Yan Xiao Jun.
He returned in the early morning. From now on, I will directly interrogate the old Taoist with Zhang Ju on the mountain. That old man truly has a wolf's ambition; he has hidden over a dozen boxes of cash in the cave behind him.
This old fellow is really bold; doesn’t he fear being dealt with by his ancestral master? Yan Kongyue scoffed.
Ding dong, ding dong—the food finally arrived. Yan Xiao Jun had already witnessed the eating capacity of Yan Kongyue and the others once, so seeing another table full of food didn’t surprise him anymore.
Don’t you think it’s a bit too much?
You’re all young and still growing!
No, when using spiritual power, a certain amount of physical strength is consumed. There are two ways to replenish it: one is to eat, and the other is to rely on someone else's spiritual power. I’m lazy and love good food, so to keep things simple, I choose to eat delicious things to replenish my strength.
So that’s how it is! Yan Xiao Jun was enlightened.
Are you ready?
Ready!
Then let’s begin! Huo Jingyu, did you lock the door?
It’s locked! Huo Jingyu propped himself up on the armrest of the sofa and jumped onto it.
This time, you two are joining us as well!
Us? Is that okay?
Of course! With me here, what’s there to be afraid of?
Alright!
Yan Consultant, is there anything I need to do?
Just relax; follow your inner guidance. Sing if you want to sing, speak if you want to speak!
Okay! Last night, Yan Xiao Jun heard Lin Qian and the others singing while saving someone. Now that he heard Yan Kongyue say to sing if he wanted to, he understood.
I’m going to start!
Mm!
As the chanting began, golden light spread out, quickly enveloping the entire living room in a glow.
Lin Qian and Huo Jingyu had some experience from their previous encounter; they followed their inner feelings and began to chant along. Soon, Yan Xiao Jun joined in as well.
Half an hour later, as calm returned, Yan Xiao Jun let out a sigh. The fatigue from recent days vanished without a trace, but his short-sleeved shirt had already been stained by the dirt within his body.
There is a bathroom inside; why not take a shower? Lin Qian looked calmly at the embarrassed Yan Xiao Jun.
