Chapter 1672 - 304: Journey by the River (Part 3)

The body still faced the rice field and spoke: "You can consider taking her to walk on the river."

Li Zhiyuan: "It's not the right time yet."

The body: "She has incredible talent."

Li Zhiyuan: "In this regard, I knew earlier than you did."

The body: "She needs experience and tempering to grow better and be of great use in the future."

Li Zhiyuan: "I didn't force her to go to school before because she didn't like it; likewise, I won't force her to walk on the river now because she still harbors a deep shadow towards the outside world."

The ghost energy emanating from Run Sheng put great pressure on Alii, not because of the harm from the ghost energy itself, but because of the barrier in her heart.

Li Zhiyuan knew that if he was by Alii's side, he could help her effectively overcome her fear of the outside world, but walking on the river required facing various emergencies, and being alone and scattered was unavoidable.

At that time, what would truly crush Alii would not be the substantial danger, but her deep-seated instinctive fear and resistance to this unfamiliar world.

Indeed, as the body said, the experience and tempering of walking on the river could gradually help her adapt, but the adaptive result would likely be Alii sitting at the threshold with a blank expression when they first met.

The main reason I chose to join the Qin Liu Gate, lighting the lamp and walking on the river, was to protect her and help her heal.

But to walk better on the river, I need to push her out and worsen her condition, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

The body: "You should know that your protection is detrimental to her growth."

Li Zhiyuan: "I am a Heart Demon, acting emotionally is my right."

The body fell silent.

Li Zhiyuan asked: "Are you done talking?"

The body: "Talking to you more makes me feel disgusted."

Li Zhiyuan did not refute, and walked downstairs.

In reality, the boy opened his eyes.

The black mist had already enveloped eighty percent of the area within the circle.

Not only Zhao Yi, but Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou also sensed something amiss.

In the black mist, there was a vague appearance of strange things surging through. Once this power completely unleashed, this Array circle would be completely indefensible.

Li Zhiyuan proceeded through the black mist and soon saw a towering figure sitting there, its body riddled with chasms, flowing with a depressive thickness like black magma.

In front of it stood a girl, hammering against a chisel, still continuing.

Li Zhiyuan stood beside Alii.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The last chisel fell, and Alii stopped.

The girl did not have a sense of relief from completion on her face, because she had followed the carving diagram given to her by the boy in the day and completed all the processes, yet the problem was not only unsolved but was about to spiral completely out of control.

The jiao shadows, almost tangible, were gathering final power, while Run Sheng's consciousness was severely suppressed, his eyes filled with a deep red almost ready to spill out.

Actually, even if Run Sheng were awake at this moment, he would be powerless against this situation.

Alii looked towards the boy beside her, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, wondering if she had done something wrong.

"Alii, you have done perfectly; there's just one last step in the blueprint that I just obtained."

Li Zhiyuan held the girl's hand.

This kind of action was something the two had experienced countless times before.

Initially, Li Zhiyuan even considered entering Alii's dream as a special training to temper his mental will.

The bungalow in the dream, the cracked tablet on the offering table.

The boy holding the girl's hand, sitting on the threshold.

The weather was clear, white clouds drifting, and the nightmarish scene of the past was now fragrant with flowers.

Most of those things were gone, with the few remaining merely glancing occasionally, mostly turning away.

Compared to the once "gathering of wise men," it was much quieter and cleaner.

Li Zhiyuan raised his right hand, manipulating, wiping, and pushing against the sky, the Feng Shui power imbued, the clouds in Heaven were rapidly being kneaded into the pattern the boy desired.

This was a recasting of the rice wave pattern from the body.

Alii looked up, watching seriously.

Li Zhiyuan lowered his head, looking at the girl's profile.

If one day, Alii's condition truly improves to that extent, and she is willing to sit in the car on her own accord when I leave to walk on the river, I will take her with me.

However, by that time, it would not be purely for walking on the river, but to let her appreciate the scenery on the river.

After the cloud transformation in Heaven was complete, it gradually dispersed.

The girl looked at the boy and nodded.

The two closed their eyes together.

In reality, Alii opened her eyes, picked up the chisel and small hammer, and continued carving on Run Sheng's body.

With each strike, a muffled groan came from Run Sheng's throat, and the black mist spreading outside trembled, retracting inward.

Outside the circle.

Zhao Yi was so anxious that he almost scratched his head, the situation that was supposed to collapse was immediately reversed, but he had no idea what was happening inside through the black mist.

At this moment, Zhao Yi envied Lin Shuyou very much, because Ah You only needed to clench his fist and wave, happily acting as a cheerleader.

Layer by layer, piece by piece, as the black mist was continuously absorbed into the body, Run Sheng's crimson eyes began to clear.

After the final strike, Run Sheng lowered his head, looking at the girl standing in front of him.

The girl stepped back, standing beside the boy.

Run Sheng stood up, raised his head, his hands first spread out, then clenched.
