Of course, I will assist you to the end.

After all, I am a kind-hearted spirit, Willow replied, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Though her words flowed easily, the effort was indeed taxing.

She continued to strike the mermaid while expressing her bewilderment.

I simply cannot comprehend how you endure this.

Gritting her teeth, she added, "Regardless, I promise to help you, and you must remember your promise to prepare the hot pot base for me.

I want to use void fish for the hot pot.

" This declaration served as her motivation.

"Ah, it hurts, but that s good," the mermaid responded.

She understood that Willow-es intentions were well-meaning.

It was not an easy task to strike at her spirit through her divine form with such power.

Numerous severed willow branches lay scattered on the ground, indicating significant loss for Willow.

It seemed that she was nearing her limit, having expended too much divine energy, and she was eager to recall that dream as she felt the sting of the willows strikes.

The mermaid sensed her spirit gradually becoming stronger and more substantial.

She concentrated intently on that dream.

Instinctively aware of its immense importance, the thought of missing it filled her with profound sadness.

The urgency mounted as she pondered more fervently.

Willow too began to feel a sense of urgency.

Suddenly, the sound of a spirit-powered vehicle descending broke the tension, followed by the melodic chime of a doorbell.

A familiar voice rang out.

Chi, are you home? Fu has come to see you.

After reflecting for a moment, Fu recalled having spoken a bit too harshly to chi a few days prior.

I know you've been feeling down lately, so I brought your favorite apples and some freshlymade chili sauce.

The door is not locked.

May I come in? With no response, Fu entered.

Dressed in a neatly arranged bow tie and carrying a basket filled with apples and chili sauce.

They stepped into the empty room.

Is the mermaid cheen not residing here anymore? Do you recall how he lamented just a few days ago about the rockous butterfly spirits that had emerged among the flowers? He expressed a strong desire to avoid residing by the shores of Shell Lake, opting instead for the tranquil retreat of the villa by the inner sea.

Perhaps it was within the confines of his bedroom.

Just like the little fairies, the mermaid also relished the luxury of sleeping in.

The fairies, with their designated work hours starting at 10:00, had adopted such a schedule primarily because of their fondness for slumber and their aversion to early rising.

Lingafu pushed open the door to the bedroom.

The room was bathed in brightness, illuminated by four fish oil lamps, casting a warm glow throughout.

Suddenly, a basket clattered to the floor, causing a glass jar of chili sauce to tremble, while an apple bounced elastically and scattered across the floor.

Ling Dau's gaze fell upon the mermaid she unconscious and marred by whip marks on the ground with Lu Lu<unk>s figure holding a willow branch whip turned away from him.

The floor was strewn with fragmented willow branches and scattered scales.

Drops of blood mingled with the luminous sap from the broken willow branches released a somewhat sweet and fragrant aroma wafting directly into Ling Dau's nostrils.

What transpired here? A scene of murder? a fierce confrontation between Lady Lulu and the mermaid chi within their home.

No, the room appeared immaculate, devoid of any signs of chaos.

It seemed not to be a fight.

As Lulu turned around and noticed Ling Dau, she exclaimed, "Dafu, you're here.

I truly did my best.

It has fallen and I can no longer endure.

Please take care of us.

" With that, Lulu abruptly collapsed.

In that moment, Ling Daufu found himself the sole lively being remaining in the room.

The distant sound of bells resonated, echoing throughout the divine realm.

A fervent and rhythmic chime heralding the return of the deity.

Ling Dau glanced between Lulu and the mermaidqi.

Feeling somewhat flustered.

Unsure of the situation, he resolved to heed Lulu's request and care for them.

He retrieved the strawberry healing spray too.

zero from his chain, spritzing it upon the fairy and the mermaid.

He primarily focused on the wounds of the mermaid chi and the broken willow branch injuries of Lulu.

Before long, the spray bottle was empty, unable to dispense anymore.

It was the strongest healing remedy he possessed.

A recent product from the spiritual energy research institute that had only just passed its trial period and had yet to be mass-produced.

Ling Dau was aware that this bottle primarily contained the essence of a spirit grade red flower medicine insufficient to heal two divine beings.

At most, it could tend to minor surface wounds or the usual scrapes of little fairies.

Ling Daufu employed his spiritual arts, placing the two injured souls upon the bed and covering them with a blanket.

He then pondered the need to seek a doctor.

However, it appeared that the fairy doctor could not remedy the ailments ofQi and Lady Lulu.

The bells continued to toll.

Ah, yes.

The earlier scene was so shocking that he nearly forgot the deity had returned.

He should seek assistance from the divine being.

Ling Daufu opened the window, taking out his spiritual energy flying vehicle and soared towards the temple, now devoid of its crimson glow.

As he approached the temple, he noticed many fairies also making their way there.

A throng of fairies gathered, congesting the air above the temple.

The fairy plaza in front of the temple buzzed with activity, and Ling Dafu s flying vessel had no place to land, forcing him to retract it back into his chain.

The little sprites do not crowd into the temple.

Instead, they gather in the square, eagerly anticipating a glimpse of the divine when the deity emerges.

It has been a long time since the deity departed, and everyone yearns for her return.

Ling Daufu enters the temple anxiously conveying his intentions to the divine attendants.

Chapter 226.

The significant dream.

The divine attendant welcomed it and led into the backyard.

The little black creature somewhat troubled remarked, "The esteemed deity is resting and instructed not to be disturbed.

What shall we do? I shall await the deity's awakening.

" Ling Dau stated, settling into a chair in the backyard, suddenly feeling unhurried.

In its heart, the deity held greater significance than the mermaidqi and Lulu.

The two deities were unlikely to face immediate peril.

It was the deity's rest that took precedence.

Once the deity awakened, it would promptly inform her of Dau's presence.

The little black creature nodded in agreement.

It brought forth snacks and tea, carefully placing them before Ling Dau.

However, Dau had lost all appetite.

Its mind occupied with the bewildering scene it had just witnessed.

Feeling somewhat vexed, it could not comprehend the peculiar antics of the two formidable beings from the divine realm.

Ling Dau, perplexed, found itself ins snared in chaotic thoughts.

Feeling utterly confounded, noticing Ling Dau's troubled demeanor, the little black creature poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Dau.

Meanful, are you worried about the injuries of Lord Chi and Lady Lulu? No, more than that.

I am puzzled as to why Lulu would strike Chi and then asked me to tend to it.

It did not seem like a fight.

Ling Daufu took a sip of tea, inquiring with confusion.

This time, the look of perplexity shifted from Ling Daufu to the little black creature's face, which had just grasped the origin of the injuries sustained by the two powerful deities.

After pondering, it replied, "Perhaps it is a peculiar hobby, akin to how the golden supervisor recently commissioned his 50th suit.

He possesses 50 suits and never tires of wearing them.

I have heard that Lord Ling Pippy also constructed a wild research institute due to a special interest creating many beloved local inventions.

Perhaps you were right, Ling Dafu nodded.
