"Spiritual Consciousness!!"
Zhang Shan was just randomly strolling down the street when he suddenly caught these words. He hurriedly looked around, and then saw those two beauties, one big and one small, at the side of the street.
The bigger beauty was squatting in front of the little beauty with her eyes closed, seeming to be groping for something on the little beauty's body.
"Being able to see external objects with eyes closed, isn't that spiritual consciousness! Having spiritual consciousness at such a low level of cultivation!" He sensed the bigger beauty's level of cultivation, which was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Hey!" He pulled his friend Wang Wu over and gestured towards the two beauties on the side of the street.
Wang Wu looked over and saw the bigger beauty. He almost started drooling as he nodded repeatedly: "Not bad with your taste this time, great choice of target!"
"All you think about is nasty stuff..." Zhang Shan scolded him, then explained to Wang Wu in detail.
"She must have a secret manual..."
Li Shiyin sent her spiritual consciousness into Long Qiqi's thigh, then controlled it to enter the muscles and find the meridian structure inside. Then...
She was confused by the crisscrossing mesh of meridians in the thigh.
Seeing Li Shiyin's dazed expression, Long Qiqi didn't have much hope. She could only beg heaven that Li Shiyin wouldn't ruin the physical body she had finally sculpted.
Li Shiyin went from the thigh to the arm, from the lower dantian to the upper dantian. She realized she could understand the overall meridian structure of the whole body, which was similar to the circulation path of cultivation techniques. But when it came to a specific part, she didn't understand how the meridians were distributed.
She withdrew her spiritual consciousness from Long Qiqi's body and fell into contemplation.
This silly girl obviously wasn't reliable. Don't let her get herself killed. Long Qiqi was very worried and suggested, "If it really doesn't work then just forget it. If it affects your sightseeing, you can just send me back."
"It's not entirely hopeless..." Li Shiyin said thoughtfully, "I don't understand the specifics, but I do have some ideas on unblocking the whole body's meridians."
When Li Shiyin said she could unblock the whole body's meridians, Long Qiqi didn't feel happy at all. Because the way Li Shiyin phrased it sounded unreliable - not understanding the details but understanding the whole, this could probably kill someone.
She became scared instead and hurriedly said, "No...no need. Just send me back! I don't want to play anymore!"
In fact, with Qin Ran's constant influence, Li Shiyin wasn't completely ignorant about meridians. Looking at the whole body, she was about 30-40% confident. But she was more concerned about another issue - that after unsealing Long Qiqi, would she run away or attack her?
Then she heard Long Qiqi say that, seemingly looking down on her...
Hey! With Li Shiyin's explosive temper, who was a hand-down to look down on her!?
Her big eyes glared at Long Qiqi as she said, "What's the big deal, it's just unsealing the whole body's meridians! Watch me!"
As she said that, not giving Long Qiqi a chance to resist...though Long Qiqi had no ability to resist anyway, she could only watch in horror as Li Shiyin pressed her hand on her dantian, channeled her spiritual consciousness and power over, then violently surged along the cultivation path, from inside out...
"Boom!" It was as if Long Qiqi heard this sound. She felt like she had exploded.
"Ah...I'm dying, I'm dying..." She cried, rather pitiful and heartbroken.
"Stop crying, success!"
Long Qiqi was crying, her face covered in snot and tears. She was wiping her tears with her hand when she heard this voice...it was Li Shiyin's voice.
"Hmm?" Hearing Li Shiyin's voice, she wasn't dead? Long Qiqi's crying paused as she opened her tear-blurred eyes to see Li Shiyin's proud smile, "Success?"
She clenched her fist!
"Eh?" Long Qiqi realized she could move her hand. She wiped her tears and stood up, jumping around. Other than her qi and blood being somewhat stagnant from stiffness, all the acupoints on her body were indeed unsealed.
"Yay!" She jumped up happily, truly like a little girl.
"What do you think? Aren't I awesome?" Li Shiyin looked at her with a proud grin, waiting for her praise.
"Pfft..." Long Qiqi snorted disdainfully, "Awesome my ass!"
As she said that, she walked towards the front.
"Hey! Don't even think about running away!!" Li Shiyin hurriedly chased after her.
The big and little girls wandered the streets, eating, shopping, and playing all along the way. It really felt like they were out sightseeing.
After going halfway through the street, they stopped to rest under a roadside tree, entering halftime.
Long Qiqi hugged a pretty bowl of shaved ice, happily eating it. She used to be a snake so she didn't have a sense of taste and didn't have so many delicious things to eat. Moreover, it was scorching hot here, so nothing was more suitable than a bowl of ice-cold sweet shaved ice.
While she ate shaved ice, Li Shiyin fiddled with the little trinkets they had bought on the side. She picked up a jade flute and showed it to Long Qiqi, asking, "Doesn't it look nice?"
"What is this?" Long Qiqi asked. Can it be eaten?
"This is a flute..." Li Shiyin said. "It's a musical instrument."
"Boring!" Long Qiqi shook her head and scooped another spoonful of shaved ice into her mouth.
Wait a minute!
Long Qiqi suddenly froze. She bit the spoon as she seemed to forget something extremely important...
Wasn't she trying to think of a way to escape?
So what was she doing now?
Long Qiqi secretly glanced at the giggling silly Li Shiyin, then looked at the bowl of shaved ice in her hands.
"Fine..." She came up with an excuse for herself, "It's alright to eat well before leaving. After all, it was them who captured me, so punishing them by making them treat me to nice food is reasonable!"
"Hmph!" She nodded, affirming her own excuse.
"Alright!" Li Shiyin finished organizing everything and put them into her cosmic bag as she asked Long Qiqi, "Have you rested? Let's continue...once master exits seclusion, we won't be able to play anymore."
"Hmm...okay!" Long Qiqi nodded.
So the two set off again, walking towards the second half of the street.
"What's the plan for escape?" Long Qiqi started thinking, "Any ideas?"
"Your ice is melting, hurry and eat it!" Li Shiyin urged.
Long Qiqi looked down and scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice. Suddenly she saw two people following quite close behind them. Her eyes glanced around as she abruptly had an idea.
"When are you guys going to retrieve the sword?" She raised her volume so her voice could be heard by the two people behind them amidst the noisy street market.
"The day after tomorrow probably! Tomorrow or the day after...Li Shiyin calculated the time,"Master Xu said it would take five days."
"Master Xu Zhiye's sword. Long Qiqi sighed in admiration, "How amazing."
"You know about it too?" Li Shiyin asked curiously. Xu Zhiye has that kind of renown even among monsters?
"Yup yup!" Long Qiqi nodded. She didn't actually know shit. She had heard it from conversations between Qin Ran and Li Shiyin.
So, Long Qiqi thought, this should get the attention of the two people behind them right?
"I want that..."
She then started bringing Li Shiyin towards more secluded places.
"That's delicious..."
As expected, the two men followed them.
"Let's go look at that..."
When it was just about right, Long Qiqi looked at the location and pointed at an extremely secluded alley, saying "My stomach hurts, I want to go pee there."
Li Shiyin indulged her and brought her over like bringing a kid.
"I'll go in alone, wait for me out here..." Long Qiqi said.
"Still shy." Li Shiyin shook her head. "Fine, be quick."
So Long Qiqi went into the alley and didn't come out for a long time. Li Shiyin felt something was off and rushed in to check, but how could she still find Long Qiqi's shadow?
"Ah! Got tricked!" Li Shiyin was furious and punched the wall, leaving a deep hole.
She turned back, intending to go out and look around for Long Qiqi. But just then, two vicious-looking men walked into the alley entrance...
At certain corner of the street, Long Qiqi watched those two men enter the alley as expected. She was a little worried inside: "She's so powerful, there shouldn't be any danger right?" Li Shiyin was a bit silly but still treated her very well.
"Sigh..." But humans and demons walk different paths, they'll always be strangers to each other. She sighed and left.
But as soon as she turned around, she bumped right into a man.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
