Chapter 184 Do You Care?
Shen Li's wings closed, gently holding up the blue gem, making her look like a noble and elegant European princess.
The little fur ball was stunned. "Sister Shen Li, you are so beautiful. Brother Xinghan is so lucky, a flower stuck in cow dung."
Seeing this, the little fur ball seemed to sense Shen Li's hesitation. It quickly jumped onto Shen Li's palm and gently rubbed Shen Li's fingers with its furry little head, as if giving her comfort and trust.
"Sister Shen Li, don't worry! This pill is a treasure I found in the Secret Realm of Stars. There will be absolutely no problem." The little fur ball said seriously, with a sincere light flashing in his eyes, "It can not only help you restore your human form, but also strengthen your physique and make you stronger."
Shen Li looked at the serious look of the little fur ball, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated. She nodded and decided to trust this cute little guy. So, she took a deep breath, put the blue crystal pill into her mouth, and swallowed it gently.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a cool and warm force instantly surged through Shen Li's whole body.
She felt as if her body was enveloped by a soft light. The strength in her body began to surge, and her cultivation, which had been stagnant due to her injuries, began to slowly recover.
As the medicinal power continued to penetrate, Shen Li's body gradually changed.
Her colorful feathers began to shrink and gradually merged into her skin, replaced by smooth and delicate skin and a slender and elegant figure. Shen Li looked at her changes in amazement, with an incredible light flashing in her eyes.
"I really... have regained my human form!" Shen Li shouted excitedly. She reached out and touched her face and body, feeling the long-lost familiarity and freedom.
Xinghan watched Shen Li's changes from the side, his face full of relief.
He knew that this pill was of great significance to Shen Li. It not only helped her regain her human form, but more importantly, it gave her the courage and confidence to face life again.
"Shen Li, congratulations." Xinghan applauded.
The little fur ball was overjoyed to see Shen Li successfully regain his human form.
It then took out an exquisite colorful small medicine bottle from its own small space and handed it to Shen Li. The bottle contained 48 blue crystal pills similar to the previous one, like a bunch of tempting grapes.
"Sister Shen Li, this is a spare pill." The little fur ball said seriously, "If you accidentally transform into a phoenix again and want to quickly restore your human form, take another pill of this. But remember, although this pill is magical, you can't be greedy. It's best not to take more than 20 pills in a month to avoid unnecessary burden on your body."
Shen Li took the medicine bottle, looked at the pills inside carefully, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
She understood that this was not just a few pills, but also the little fur ball's meticulous care and protection for her.
"Thank you, little furball. I will cherish these pills." Shen Li said with a smile, with a warm light in her eyes.
Afterwards, Xinghan and Shen Li sent the little ball to the gate of the courtyard. The little ball blinked mysteriously and said:
"I'm going to travel around the world to find more treasures and adventures. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
After saying that, the little fur ball turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky. However, in a corner where no one was paying attention, it quietly turned around and sneaked back to the Onmyoji courtyard system.
It turns out that the little ball's so-called "wandering" was just a cover. Its real purpose was to return to that familiar and safe place and continue to protect its friends.
Xinghan and Shen Li looked at the direction where the little ball of fur left, feeling reluctant to let it go.
"Senior Xinghan, you are truly unfathomable." Shen Li said unexpectedly, "You saved me from the cage, gave me the Sky-lifting Slash, and sent me the Transformation Pill... How many more surprises do you have? You must be from the Treasure Pavilion, right?"
Xinghan was stunned for a moment, then his ears turned slightly red. He smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's just a coincidence. It's a matter of time and luck. I'm just lucky and always meet masters and gods to help me. In the future, I have to rely on King Bi Cang to look after me. I want to climb up your big tree and enjoy the shade."
Shen Li straightened her blue heart-shaped clothes, used her spiritual power to transform them into ordinary clothes and put them on, then said,
"It's hard to say. I owe you a favor now, and the more I owe you, the more I owe you. I don't know what I can do for you in the future. Should I take you to fight or chop some firewood with my Sky-piercing Sword?"
Xinghan laughed and nodded, "It's all good. I feel at ease with you here."
Shen Li was handsome and said casually, "I have an engagement."
Xinghan nodded and said with relief, "I understand."
Unexpectedly, Shen Li said, "Do you care? I don't care. I can regret the marriage."
Xinghan's heart was shocked, and he found a hint of warmth from Shen Li's calm and focused gaze.
When he wanted to savor the moment, Shen Li had already left.
After saying this, Shen Li opened the door and walked into the yard.
Xingyun was inviting Shen Li to taste his specially prepared premium bird meal.
Xinghan's gaze moved slowly following Shen Li's light steps, but ripples involuntarily arose in his heart.
He knew very well that although the blue pill could temporarily relieve Shen Li's troubles, it was not a long-term solution.
Shen Li has a special physique, and her changes and recovery are full of unknowns and variables, which makes him feel a little worried.
"Long-term plan..."
Xinghan muttered to himself, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought.
In order to truly help Shen Li stabilize his form and restore his strength, he must find a more fundamental and lasting method.
But this is easier said than done?
Shen Li's situation was complicated and rare, and even an Onmyoji like him felt helpless.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Xinghan told himself silently in his heart, "As long as we don't give up hope, we will find a way one day."
……
One afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves in the courtyard, casting dappled shadows, adding a bit of laziness and comfort to this quiet space.
Xinghan, Shenli and Xingyun were sitting around a stone table with several decks of Landlord cards scattered on the table. It was obvious that they had just finished a relaxing and enjoyable game of cards.
Xinghan rubbed his eyes gently, with a satisfied smile on his face, and suggested: "It's rare that everyone is so leisurely today, why don't we..." As he spoke, his eyes moved between Shen Li and Xingyun, with a bit of mystery and expectation.
"Why not?" Shen Li asked curiously, shaking the teacup in her hand gently, as if foreshadowing the upcoming little surprise.
Xinghan pursed his lips and made a mysterious "hmm" sound. His eyes were fixed softly on the two people in the courtyard who were busy with their own work.
As expected, Shen Li and Xing Yun cast their curious eyes towards Xing Han.
Xinghan then smiled seriously and said, "Shall we do something more interesting?"
