Divine one, may you be well.
This group of suspected abyssal monsters has been subdued and is presently confined here.
Ling Dawing reported, bowing alongside the other spirits as they shared the development of the situation.
Although they appear to possess the ability to traverse the barrier, they remain powerless to escape due to our intervention and the barrier shall contain them for some time yet.
Ling Daufu continued to elaborate.
This case was initially handled by Ling Erang who believed it to be a mere disturbance in the dead of night.
A case of dereliction of duty by the enforcement team.
Upon arrival, however, they discovered a frenzy among the crowd caused by the consumption of an unknown creature by the enforcement team following leads provided by the victims.
Ling Erang and Ling Jing Jing identified the emergence of what seemed to be abyssal monsters.
Although they could not comprehend why the small sprites would consume such creatures, the abyssal monsters did not appear as terrifying as described in the texts.
Ling Erang and Ling Jing Jing promptly initiated emergency protocols for the Dark Empire, securing the scene and apprehending the abyssal monsters along with the evidence related to the incident.
Suzi Han shifted her gaze from the barrier to her surroundings.
Familiar faces surrounded her.
Nearly all of the four great sprites were present except for Ling Pippy.
She also spotted many promising young sprites gathered here, indicating the matter s significance.
Noticing Sue Xihan's gaze, Ling Dau quickly remarked that he refrained from summoning Pippy to avoid any chaos as it could still pose a slight danger.
Ling Daufu pointed to the ground where several sprites were tied up with spirit ropes rolling about.
According to Ling Jing Jing and Ling Erang, Dauu had opted not to inform Pippy of the situation as the sight of the abyssal monsters might provoke an uncontrollable urge to consume them, leading to abnormal consequences, hence avoiding Pippy as presence altogether.
Upon seeing the sprites on the ground, Suzi Han's heart stirred and she summoned a luminous curtain, instructing Lon to activate the emotional value detection.
She initially believed these sprites were injured during the capture and might bear some contamination, thus bound together.
However, the outcome was far beyond her expectations.
The emotional values of this group of sprites exceeded 100 with the highest nearing 200.
In simpler terms, they were in a state of joyous positivity, not afflicted by any pollution.
This state resembled her own experience of consuming abyssal monsters and absorbing abyssal energy, manifesting in a profound inclination towards singing and dancing, radiating a strong positive emotional energy that infected their surroundings.
With a thought, Suzhon loosened her hand, allowing the golden sprite to leap to the ground.
Retrieving a small notebook to begin documenting the schedule, she crouched down and gently poked one of the most familiar bound sprites.
This sprite was entirely white, roughly the size of a pillow that could be cradled in her arms, adorned with seven black dots.
The last time they met was at its fried potato stall.
This sprite, known as by Chidian, was a professional shopkeeper.
She recalled that the fried potato chunks it made were incredibly delicious.
As her finger grazed by Chidian, she felt its soft, warm surface.
Recognizing the touch of the divine Biden brightened with excitement, gazing up at Suzi Han with fervor.
Divine one, danger, Ling, Dao warned.
Where's the danger? Suzi Han inquired.
She gently rubbed the head of the little creature, Chi-Chi, who seemed poised to utter a sound.
It was rendered mute by a spell, its mouth opening and closing in vain.
I apologize, esteemed deity.
My words were misguided.
rather than danger.
It would be more accurate to describe the predicament of these bound little spirits as troublesome.
Ling Daufu elucidated, "These afflicted sprites become boisterous and clingy, singing loudly and compelling every creature they encounter to dance with them.
We suspect this is a peculiar manifestation resulting from contact with such abyssal entities, which we shall temporarily term zinging and dancing syndrome.
" Ling Dau stated with utmost seriousness.
Chapter 180.
Discovering the situation.
Gift update.
Suzi Han could not help but chuckle softly.
This laughter akin to a gentle breeze enveloped all the little sprites present in a warm embrace.
Observing Ling Dau's serious demeanor.
Her mention of a syndrome characterized by singing and dancing was undeniably charming.
Despite having just traversed the cataclysmic abyss, encountering her dimminionive companions in the divine realm sparked no trace of anxiety within her.
Moreover, she harbored no fear of the abyssal creatures in her eyes.
They resembled dectible morsels akin to conjac jelly, mere snacks.
Her innate ability allowed her to consume these abyssal beings, absorbing their energy and transmuting negative emotions into positive ones.
Perhaps due to her indulgence, this gift influenced her followers.
Suzi Han picked up the tightly bound by Chidian and gently patted its little head, calmly inquiring whether it had consumed any abyssal beings.
"Indeed, my esteemed deity," Ling Daufu responded.
"Truly, the wise and beautiful deity possesses unmatched strength and intellect.
You are the embodiment of faith for us sprites, our everything.
" laying stepped forward, its two claws clasped tightly at its chest, hind paws raised, its body elongated like an oval-shaped rugby ball, reciting praises for Suzie Han in a melodic tone, swaying gently in rhythm with its speech.
The deity has swiftly discerned the cause.
Your prowess is remarkable.
Recently, Jing has felt quite disheartened and perplexed, hoping for your guidance.
Jing Jing along with many other sprites found it astonishing that the abyssal creatures were not as fearsome as depicted in the texts.
Puzzled why sprites could consume these intangible monsters.
Jing Jing struggled to comprehend why.
After consumption they would transform into beings devoid of intelligence, merely grinning foolishly.
Jing Jing spoke at length, her large eyes shadowed by a faint bluish hue, hinting at weariness.
Since discovering the abyssal creatures, she had not slept, tirelessly researching these confounding issues.
Her practical experiences contradicted the accounts found in books.
Jing Jing noted that not everything documented is entirely accurate.
Yet, the terror of the abyss is considered a truth in every tome.
This realization troubled her, shaking her faith in the pursuit of knowledge.
Ling Daufu supplemented the critical information they had compiled.
The abilities of these abyssal beings were indeed formidable.
Their consumption incited an uncontrollable appetite in the sprites, leading them to devour these creatures and subsequently exhibit symptoms of singing and dancing.
Suzi Han glanced at Bichi cradled in her arms made no attempt to escape.
Instead, giggling foolishly.
This behavior aligned perfectly with Jing Jing's description of a sprite devoid of intellect.
to Jing Jing.
It remained a mystery why sprites could consume abyssal monsters.
After consuming the abyssal creatures, the little sprite transforms into a simpleton devoid of intellect, lost in foolish laughter.
Is it possible that by Chi Dian, this blissfully naive and rather dim-witted sprite is merely an individual case stripped of its euphoric state, it may fall short of the astute evaluation bestowed upon by Jing Jing.
Joy, it seems, inherently dulls the mind.
A sprite of limited intellect when overwhelmed by jubilation becomes even more befuddled.
1 + 1 exceeds two.
Suzi Han gazed at Ling Jing Jing<unk>s perplexed expression, gently ruffling the sprite's hair.
This sprite, one of her most intelligent dependence and the brightest among the four little sprites, was ens snared by its own knowledge.
Sometimes an abundance of wisdom can lead one into a culde-sac of thought.
We are different, Sue Xihan murmured.
Much knowledge and truth are often one-sided, confined to the perceptions of certain races as her foremost dependent.
While the little sprites may lack in combat prowess, they distinctly reflect her influence in various aspects of life and habit.
Her subconscious can shape the quality of an entire race.
Her habits can affect the customs of the whole lineage, and her innate abilities also sway the practices of her kin.
With a tender touch on Ling Jing Jing<unk>s head, her spirit enveloped the sprite's entire being and soul.
She sensed Ling Jing Jing<unk>s thirst for knowledge, its inquisitive explorations, and its unwavering faith.
In turn, Ling Jing Jing received all of her thoughts.
A second felt like an eternity.
When Suzi Han withdrew her hand, Ling Jing Jing bowed deeply, exclaiming, "Divine one, Jing Jing understands.
It is Jing Jing who has taught too many books, thus confining her own thoughts.
