However, having followed the Venerable Master for so many years, he was not yet used to having another master.
“You’re just too loyal to the Lord.” An San chuckled and patted An Yi on the shoulder, winking mischievously. “And you’re a bit stubborn.”
An Yi's face immediately darkened, and he raised an eyebrow, asking, "An San, you're very calm this time?"
An San's body trembled inexplicably, and he suddenly said with utmost seriousness, "I wonder how Miss Liu is doing now?"
Even though he knew that An San was trying to change the subject, An Yi still went along with what An San was saying, because he was indeed worried about Liu Lanyan's situation.
"Miss Liu said she needs to rest for a few days. We'd like to wait and see how things go." An Yi had no other good options, so this was the only thing they could do.
A day and a night passed in An Yi and the others' anxiety. Liu Lanyan was still fast asleep in her room, breathing normally. An Yi went in to check on her once, and Liu Lanyan hadn't even changed her posture.
When they came out, the other people who were waiting all looked unhappy when they saw An Yi's disappointed expression.
"Let's wait a little longer," An Yi said, whether to comfort the others or to tell himself.
Since that's what they've said, they have no other choice but to continue waiting.
In such torment, time seemed to pass especially slowly; another day and night had passed, and every moment was gnawing at their nerves.
An went inside and looked around again, but there was still no change.
"Should we go tell the Lord?" An San finally couldn't hold back any longer.
After thinking for a moment, An Yi shook his head: "Let's wait one more day. If there's still no change, then we'll report to the Lord."
An Yi and the others had no choice but to wait again.
Not to mention An Yi and the others, who have been having a hard time these past few days, even Liu Lanyan, who seems to be sleeping peacefully in her room, is struggling every moment.
She felt as if she were in darkness, and there seemed to be a voice calling to her, but she strongly resisted that call.
Standing still, looking into the distance, there is no future; looking back, there is no way back, only boundless darkness.
I clearly felt a calling voice, and I also had a longing in my heart to follow the voice.
It seemed that once she crossed that path, she could be freed and unravel the mysteries surrounding her physical strength and many other issues.
However, she resisted.
It felt like there were two people inside her: one desperately telling her to follow the voice, and the other stubbornly stopping her from going.
The two people seemed to be locked in a tug-of-war in her heart. Liu Lanyan's head was in great pain, as if she were being torn in two.
Neither side relaxed their efforts; neither yielded to the other, both determined to defeat the other.
Liu Lanyan stood there, vaguely feeling the two forces pulling at her, her head throbbing with pain.
Finally, Liu Lanyan couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Shut up, all of you! I am who I am, and no one can order me around!"
After letting out a loud roar, Liu Lanyan suddenly broke free from the darkness and chaos, her eyes snapping open to reveal a simple rooftop.
For a moment, she couldn't react to where she was, her mind still filled with the scene from her dream.
His eyes slowly rolled twice, and after blinking once, he finally distinguished between dream and reality.
She must have been placed somewhere by An Yi.
He moved his fingers, and a dull pain immediately spread throughout his body.
The indescribable pain made Liu Lanyan open her mouth, a silent scream. It wasn't that she didn't want to scream, but the pain was so intense that she couldn't make a sound.
Waiting for the pain to subside, Liu Lanyan tried her best to bend her fingers; it hurt, it hurt a lot.
The pain was so intense that her entire arm was about to spasm, but Liu Lanyan's movements did not stop.
Bend your fingers forcefully, slowly clench them into a fist, and finally exert force to clench it tightly.
The moment her fist clenched, Liu Lanyan bit her lip, veins popping on her forehead. The pain made her jump, and then she fell heavily back onto the bed.
With a crisp click, my arm finally regained normal sensation.
Similarly, after regaining sensation in her other arm, Liu Lanyan tried to get up.
I just moved a little and found that I couldn't use my waist at all. As soon as I moved, a radiating pain came from my waist, and my body was trembling and spasming slightly.
She could only slowly prop herself up on the bed with her arms, and even the arms supporting her body were trembling with pain.
Liu Lanyan gritted her teeth, letting out muffled groans and heavy breathing through her nose. Her fingers gripped the hard bed board as she slowly moved forward until she finally sat up.
He clenched his fists and slowly struck his stiff legs. Each strike brought a sharp pain, but if he didn't wake up his body, it would be even more troublesome to recover later.
Liu Lanyan gritted her teeth and tried her best to "torture herself".
Finally, after getting rid of the stiffness in my body, I felt normal again.
Upon inspection, it was discovered that the body was completely empty, with no power remaining.
Liu Lanyan gave a wry smile; this time she had really messed up.
Just then, the door opened softly, and Liu Lanyan turned her head to look, just in time to see An Yi standing there in shock.
He smiled gently at An Yi, then saw a look of surprise on An Yi's face. He quickly turned around and ran away in a flash, as if a ghost was chasing him.
Liu Lanyan blinked in confusion. What was wrong?
Before Liu Lanyan could react, the door was kicked open again, and ten people rushed in in unison. As expected of the Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night, their movements were incredibly synchronized and their speed was astounding.
Despite the speed of their movements, no one touched anyone else, and everyone could still see her from their respective positions; no one blocked anyone's view.
This reaction made Liu Lanyan secretly praise, "What great chemistry!"
There was nothing wrong with Liu Lanyan being surrounded by ten people, but being stared at by ten pairs of eyes at once made her feel a little awkward.
"What are you looking at?" Liu Lanyan asked, her voice still a little hoarse.
Upon hearing this, An Yi immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Lanyan to soothe her throat.
After handing over the water, An Yi immediately stepped back, not getting too close to Liu Lanyan: "Miss Liu, how are you?"
"It's nothing." Liu Lanyan took the water, drank a couple of sips, and then said with a smile, "I'm just a little weak."
As he spoke, he moved his hands and felt that they were not as stiff as before.
“Let’s go back now so he won’t worry,” Liu Lanyan said after thinking for a moment. “However, I’m exhausted now, so the journey will take a while.”
"I'll arrange it," An Yi immediately took over. He would take care of such a small matter.
An Yi turned to leave, but when he reached the door, he noticed that no one else had moved. He immediately coughed and scolded, "Aren't you going to prepare?"
"Oh, oh, get ready!" The others quickly responded to An Yi's words and hurriedly retreated.
As soon as An Yi left the house, he immediately gave a series of instructions and made a series of arrangements.
Some went to find a carriage, some went to deliver food to Liu Lanyan, and others went to contact the Lord using their own methods.
After a flurry of activity, we finally set off.
The carriage that was found at the last minute was the best in the vicinity. Liu Lanyan sat in it and slowly tried to recover her strength. However, as soon as she activated it, she immediately felt a piercing pain in her meridians.
It seems we still cannot force the power to move.
It took us a day to walk to a slightly larger town. We found the best inn, and before we even entered, we immediately saw the waiter waiting at the door, constantly looking up at the road.
Upon seeing Liu Lanyan's carriage, they immediately came forward to greet her: "Miss, please."
An Yi and the others didn't even try to stop her. Liu Lanyan gave them a strange look but didn't say anything. If they thought there was no problem, then there must be no problem.
So, when Liu Lanyan arrived at the shop, she got off the carriage, followed the waiter inside, and didn't ask a single question.
This attitude of trust warmed the hearts of An Yi and the others.
The feeling of being trusted is truly wonderful.
After Liu Lanyan followed the waiter inside, she immediately noticed that there were no customers in the shop. She walked to the back and reached the courtyard. The waiter opened the courtyard gate and simply gestured for her to enter.
Without saying a word, Liu Lanyan walked in, and before she could do anything, she was immediately enveloped in a familiar embrace.
Liu Lanyan was slightly taken aback, but then relaxed and asked with a soft laugh, "Why are you here?"
"What do you think?" Mo Yun's voice was muffled and slightly nasal, sounding almost like a wronged complaint.
Liu Lanyan smiled and gently nudged the Demon God: "Go to your room, I'm tired."
Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's words, a dark light flashed in Mo Yun's eyes, and then the two of them quickly entered the room.
Mo Yun didn't put Liu Lanyan down. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed with Liu Lanyan in his arms, his arms firmly wrapped around her waist, and he didn't move.
Liu Lanyan looked at the somewhat childish demon god with amusement: "I'm not going to run away."
Why is he hugging me so tightly?
"It will get lost." Mo Yun tossed these two words to Liu Lanyan without a second thought, leaving Liu Lanyan stunned for a moment, then looking at him with a wry smile.
Even demon gods can be so childish?
"How could I lose it?" Liu Lanyan smiled helplessly. "I'm not a child."
Mo Yun remained silent, but his expression was grim, indicating that he was still angry.
"What's wrong?" Liu Lanyan asked, amused. She had never seen the Demon God like this before. If she wasn't sure that the person in front of her was the real Demon God, she would have thought that someone had switched the Demon God with someone else.
"It's nothing." Mo Yun tried his best to calm his uneasy feelings.
Heaven knows that after receiving the message from An Yi, he didn't even stop and rushed over immediately. If he hadn't been sure that Liu Lanyan was alright, how could he have waited here peacefully?
Having experienced loss once, the memory is already etched in his mind, and he doesn't want to go through it a second time.
"Are you tired?" Mo Yun composed himself, holding Liu Lanyan in his arms. The real feeling gradually soothed the anxiety and unease in his heart.
Liu Lanyan yawned and nodded: "A little."
"Eat something and rest for a bit first," Mo Yun whispered. After saying this, he carried Liu Lanyan directly to the side room. There were prepared dishes on the table inside, which looked freshly served. It seemed that the food had been brought out at the right time.
"Have some soup first." Mo Yun ladled out a bowl of thick soup and placed it in front of Liu Lanyan. "You're weak, so eat slowly."
Liu Lanyan didn't say anything, but obediently drank the soup. After finishing the bowl, her stomach felt much better.
Moreover, this soup was made specifically to nourish her body, so it must have been specially prepared by someone.
It seems the demon god arrived here long ago and instructed the kitchen to prepare this soup.
"I'm fine, it was just a little accident," Liu Lanyan said to the demon god as she put down the bowl.
"Is your business going smoothly?" Mo Yun didn't ask about other things in detail; his primary concern was what Liu Lanyan had been worried about.
"Yes, everything went smoothly." Liu Lanyan nodded. Once her parents' matter was resolved, she could rest assured and devote herself wholeheartedly to the Demon God.
