Yunyi is very certain that Qi Shen is waiting for them.
After the two of them joined, the merchant caravan did not make any stops in the town and hurried along the road at full speed.
The speed was very fast, and if it wasn't for intentionally waiting for them, the two of them wouldn't have been able to catch up with the caravan.
On the fifth day of the journey, the group rested in the wilderness. They left Official career and found a suitable open space to pitch their tents.
Yunyi looked around and saw Caravan of people wandering aimlessly around them for five miles. They were busy gathering firewood, making fires, setting up tents, and cooking, but without realizing it, they had formed a circle around the three of them, trapping them inside. He Chun had been in human form all this time, except when sleeping at night, keeping Qi Shen and Yunyi separated.
At night, he originally wanted to sleep in human form, but Yunyi wouldn't allow it. Yunyi always feels that Qishen's purpose is He Chun, and never lets He Chun be alone. So now the three of them are sitting, and Qishen is the most relaxed.
He Chun has learned a lot of things recently that he didn't know how to do before. For example, now he is serving soup to Yunyi.
In addition to these, he also learned how to pitch a tent, wash dishes, make a bed...
He Chun doesn't know what Yunyi felt when she used to bring him things every day, but she should be as relaxed and happy as he is now.
He Chun also noticed that something was wrong inside the Caravan, although this is not his mountain, he always seems to be able to exert greater strength in nature.
He Chun carefully handed the cooled bowl to Yunyi to avoid burning her hands, then turned to deal with the people who had already gathered around. He was reluctant to kill, but these people seemed impervious to being stunned. They would fly away and then crawl back, their limbs twisted or broken without any sign of pain, still advancing towards him.
He Chun hesitated and looked at Yunyi, who struggled to find a way to subdue these puppets.
She looked at Qi Shen and asked, "How did they suddenly lose control?"
At the time of discussing the departure of these people, Qi Shen said that if they killed the ringleader, they might be saved.
Yunyi suggested locking up everyone and coming back to save them after they quickly dealt with the situation.
Qi Shen did not agree. He said that these people, when not under his control, could become evil spirits and attack others on behalf of the skeletons. In the end, he had to take everyone with him. At this moment, the person who was saying all these things to save people did not respond. Instead, he calmly finished his own soup, then efficiently snapped the neck of each puppet.
Qi Shen: "They are being controlled and there's no saving them." It's obvious who is controlling them.
Yunyi: "I don't understand. Why would Skeleton Monster do this?"
"It has killed gods before, so it should know that a few lackeys won't be able to harm it."
Qi Shen: "It's testing He Chun. By using these puppets, it can confirm our location. Once He Chun uses his power, it will establish a connection with its own power source."
Yunyi instantly thought of the answer: "It wants to make a move on Ling Mountain."
He Chun: "It seems they were beyond saving a long time ago. Are you insisting on bringing them along just to lead Skeleton Monster to me? Or perhaps, to find my mountain?"
He Chun is not foolish. He can't be bothered with the twists and turns of human cunning, but it's simple to deduce the results.
Yunyi: "Are you pretending to be in line with our goals, but actually still serving it like a dog?"
Qi Shen maintained a constant smile, but with a fierce edge: "Of course not, I must kill it."
Qi Shen looked at the young Mountain God and said, "It's time to return. You need to go protect your mountain, Mountain God."
He couldn't kill the monster himself, but he could make He Chun and himself relentless. Only when he suffered enough damage would he lose his rationality and sacrifice everything to kill it. It's not enough yet.
He Chun pulled Yunyi to leave, and Yunyi followed him until they reached a deserted place and stopped.
Yunyi: "He Chun, listen to me. Killing the monster doesn't mean the war can stop. It only catalyzes human ambition. Only power can stop the war. I have to go see General Duan."
He Chun firmly refused: "No. You stay with me. We'll kill it and then come back."
Yunyi hugged He Chun's waist. She always respected him more, and this was her closest intimacy with him.
He Chun knows her purpose for doing this, but still can't push her away. Humans are always like this, finding ways to shake the gods and make them obedient.
Yunyi raised her head in He Chun's arms, looking into his eyes, a pair of bright and clean eyes, full of love.
Yunyi: "Being with me will slow you down, and it will delay for so many days. We don't know how many people will die on the front line. He Chun, I will take care of myself."
He Chun: "You said not to let me leave your side."
It was indeed her own words. Yunyi softened her tone: "Do you know? Humans have their own marriage ceremony. You protect our mountain, and when we have sorted out these matters, I will build a house in the forest, we will have a human marriage ceremony, and then live together forever."
He Chun was attracted by the future she depicted, murmuring, "Forever?"
Yunyi emphasized with a promise, "Forever!"
Yunyi continued, "It's only a day's journey away from the capital. I will stay in the capital for a maximum of three days. Even if I can't find a solution in three days, I will immediately come back to find you, He Chun. I have to do what I can."
He Chun did not promise, but he did not speak either. He just held Yunyi tightly in his arms, and Yunyi knew he had agreed.
This action unexpectedly brought tears to Yunyi's eyes. Over the years, with the death of her father and her mother bedridden, enduring countless hardships, Yunyi had forgotten the last time she cried and why.
Yunyi patted his back, swallowed hard, and instructed He Chun: "The most important thing is that you must stay safe. Killing the Skeleton Monster requires coordination with Qi Shen, but you must be cautious of him."
As dawn broke, Yunyi and He Chun returned together. Qi Shen was sitting against a tree resting, and the puppet's body was nowhere to be seen. A row of mounds had risen from the ground not far away.
Qi Shen It's not surprising at all that they came back. Qi Shen patted the dirt off his body and walked a few steps away from He Chun: "Let's go, Mountain God."
Yesterday, there was a large group of people, but today only three remained. Yunyi left first, walking ahead alone. He Chun watched her from behind, but she never looked back.
