"Did it blow away?" Xiang Xueer was momentarily stunned but quickly reassured herself, waving her hand and saying, "It's fine, it's fine. That Duck is quite resilient. Let's hurry back to the village and check things out!"
When the four of them returned to the village, the barrier in the sky had already disappeared. They saw Fat Ancestor waiting at the village entrance, holding the Azure Wind Sword in one hand and the Fuxi Qin in the other.
Xiang Xueer slowly got down from Li Yunyang's side, took the Azure Wind Sword that the fat man handed over, and asked, "How is it? What are the casualties in the village?"
"Three dead, and about a dozen injured," Fat Ancestor replied as he walked through the village. The houses were pockmarked, and the terrified expressions of the villagers seemed not to have faded yet; it appeared that the earlier commotion had truly frightened them.
Seeing Gu Zhe and others busy with their tasks, they didn't want to disturb them. So Fat Ancestor walked over and handed the Fuxi Qin back to Gunaara, and then they returned to the inn to rest.
The next morning, Gu Zhe sent a housekeeper to invite them to his residence. When they entered the house, all the housekeepers stood neatly on either side, while Gu Zhe personally came out to greet them with sincere gratitude: "I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding you as frauds earlier. Also, Miss Xueer, your selfless protection of our Nuwa Village's citizens deserves our heartfelt thanks on behalf of all villagers."
As he spoke, all the housekeepers bowed in respect towards them, which made Xiang Xueer feel quite embarrassed. She quickly pulled Fat Ancestor forward: "It wasn't my achievement; that barrier was created by them!"
Gu Zhe smiled: "Yes, yes, anyway, I want to express my gratitude to all of you. Please come in and let's talk!"
As they entered the main hall of the village, they happened upon Gunaara standing there. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer enter, she immediately glared at her with a furious expression and gritted her teeth. She quickly turned her head away; indeed, a chill emanated from her.
This woman was still angry about what had happened earlier. However, it was understandable; if it were me, I would probably be furious too. Xiang Xueer sighed as Gu Zhe immediately got to the point: "After this incident, we can see how powerful the Demon Lord is. Therefore, gathering the Ancient Five Divine Artifacts is indeed very important. On behalf of the Nuwa clan, I officially present our treasured Fuxi Qin to you all. Please find the other two artifacts as soon as possible to prevent the demon army from returning!"
As he spoke, Gu Zhe turned around and picked up the Fuxi Qin from the coffee table and walked towards Xiang Xueer: "Miss Xueer, this qin is entrusted to you. At the same time, I pass on our Nuwa clan's determination to fight against the Demon Lord—our people will do everything in their power to defend our homeland!"
Xiang Xueer swallowed hard and quickly stood up. She hadn't expected Gu Zhe to entrust such an important Fuxi Qin to her. Suddenly feeling unworthy of it, she said, "Are you really giving this to me? You know I have Witch's magic; just look at my eyes—I'm neither human nor demon."
"This is not right!" Gu Zhe looked seriously at Xiang Xueer and said, "Everything you have done for our clan has already proven that you are an extraordinary Exorcist, definitely not a demon. The sense of national righteousness you possess is something that other Exorcists do not have, so you must have confidence in yourself!"
Suddenly, a warm current surged in Xiang Xueer's heart. Previously it was Sikong Xueyi, and today she heard these words from the leader of the Nüwa clan. She felt deeply moved; once again, someone acknowledged her. Therefore, she took the Fuxi Qin from his hand and said, "Rest assured, Clan Leader, we will definitely obtain the other two divine artifacts and stop the Demon Lord's conspiracy."
Finally obtaining the Fuxi Qin brought her one step closer to her goal. She turned to look at Fat Ancestor, who nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, Fuxi has already agreed in his heart, so we can set off now!"
Thus, on the morning of Vertical Sun, several people left the Nüwa clan's village. As they stood at the entrance, Xiang Xueer suddenly looked back and scratched her head in confusion. "Hey? Strange, I feel like something is missing."
"Really? I don't feel that way," Li Yunyang said nonchalantly while munching on a bun. He turned to look at Fat Ancestor and asked, "Hey, Fat Master, who are we going to find next? The Kongtong Seal or the Shennong Ding?"
"Hmm?" Fat Ancestor rubbed his eyes for a moment and finally shook his head with a smile. "Hehe, I can't sense anything; it seems there are no other resonances nearby!"
Huh? Xiang Xueer sighed. It seemed that this fat guy's resonance wasn't anything special either. There was nothing to be done but take it step by step; perhaps these two divine artifacts were waiting for them somewhere.
Ling Zhu carried the Fuxi Qin on his back while Xiang Xueer had the Azure Wind Sword sheathed behind her. The group tossed a coin and randomly pointed in a direction before starting their journey.
The Duck had been blown away and hung on a branch for about a day before waking up groggily. Rubbing its eyes and looking down, it was nearly scared out of its wits.
"Big sister! Big sister!" The Duck looked around but saw no one. It quickly hugged a tree trunk to slide down but ended up slipping and falling with a loud thud.
"Ah, that hurts!" The Duck lay on the ground crying, looking up at the blue sky with immense sorrow. "I still remember when I was a general; with one command, a group of little brothers would give me shoulder massages. Boohoo!"
After complaining for a while, it got up and turned back toward Nüwa Village to find them. However, by the time it returned, there was no sign of Xiang Xueer. It immediately cried out to the heavens in despair: "Wow! You heartless bunch actually left me behind! I won't pay any attention to you anymore!"
The Nuwa Village was pockmarked from the previous great battle, and everyone was busy repairing houses. At that moment, Gu Zhe was occupied with calming everyone's fears, so he had not paid attention to his daughter.
After finally finishing his tasks, he remembered that he hadn't seen his daughter for over a day. He went to her door and knocked for a long time: "Guna La, are you in your room?"
After knocking for a while without any response, he found it strange and pushed the door open. The room was empty, and Gunaara was nowhere to be seen. He felt puzzled: "Where could that girl have gone at such a busy time?"
Looking at the silent room, an uneasy feeling arose in Gu Zhe's heart. He quickly opened the wardrobe door, only to find all of her clothes neatly packed away, not a single piece left behind.
His heart sank, and veins bulged on his forehead: "Where has this girl run off to now?"
A black mist slithered through the sky and soon arrived at Cloud Summit. The Lizard Spirit stood beside the Witch. Although she wore a blank expression and said nothing, he was still happy to stand with her, watching the sunrise.
Suddenly, a strong Killing Intent approached from behind. The Lizard Spirit quickly turned around and saw the Demon Lord standing behind her without her noticing. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Demon Lord, what happened? Have you found Jing Yue's magic?"
The Demon Lord's eyes were fixed on the Witch standing there, seemingly unfazed by sadness. He turned his head and said, "She will stay here for now. I have something for you to do!"
"Ah?" The Lizard Spirit was startled; she never expected the Demon Lord would agree to let her serve him. She looked at the Demon Lord in confusion as he slyly shifted his gaze: "If you complete this task well, I will consider your matter with Jing Yue."
"Really?" The Lizard Spirit's eyes widened in disbelief; this was something he had never dared to imagine. Joy surged in his heart as a happy expression appeared on his face: "Please give me your orders, Demon Lord! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
