Chapter 9 Return

When I woke up and opened my eyes, the slanting sun dyed the four walls of the study gold, and Li Jinyi glanced at the wall clock, which was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. He took a deep breath, and the feeling coming from his body was much lighter than before, and it seemed that the healing effect of the Star Soul Blood was indeed outstanding. After thinking about it, it had been two injections before that, and the body had returned to the level of this morning, so could it be that he was already dying before that...... Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little afraid.

He lay on the bed, there was no hunger in his belly, and the blood of the star soul seemed to have the effect of providing nourishment and energy. I moved the joints of my body slightly, and I realized that there was no pain. It seems that the recovery is almost complete, why don't you get out of bed and walk? Moved to the side of the bed, looked at it, the shoes were gone, not even a pair of slippers, fortunately, the temperature in the room has been maintained at a more suitable level, and it is not cold to step on the floor barefoot, but if Li Jinyi is an old Chinese medicine doctor, he will definitely not be advised to do this.

The study room is about 100 square meters, not much larger than a classroom, and there are more than a dozen bookshelves of different heights. Li Jinyi walked towards the window to see what was like outside, and halfway through, he was first attracted by a piece of paper on the desk next to the windowsill.

This is a large piece of rice paper, on which is written in calligraphy:

To Lai Jinyi

If you wake up in a dream, I am not near;

Turn left and go out of the room, and consult the maid in everything.

Although the maid is beautiful, you can only watch from afar;

The boudoir is not allowed to enter, and the gate is not allowed to go out.

If you hear that you have committed a crime, send your soul back to the earth.

The pen walks the dragon, Yan muscles and willow bones, at a glance it is written by a calligraphy veteran, and there is a note "October 25th, Yin Yuyao", calculated the time, written yesterday. I didn't expect this girl to be able to write calligraphy, Li Jinyi chuckled sideways, and said that calligraphy is self-cultivation, but so far, he has only seen her domineering and rudeness, not to mention the previous ones, the end of this poem alone is enough to make him want to vomit blood.

Walking to the window, looking out of the window, a dense banyan tree obscured the view to the right, but from the swaying branches and leaves, it seemed that a rectangular building was built in the lower right, probably a warehouse or a practice room. To the left, there is a garden below, where two maids are busy pruning. At the end of the garden is an artificial lake, which is calm and translucent, and a few swans float on the water to rest. Further afield, there is a mountain cliff, and under the cliff, there is a lively city, which is lit up at the moment, and many floats are paraded during the period.

What kind of place is this? Li Jinyi searched in his mind for the scenes he had been to on his past missions, but none of them were as magical as the city at the foot of the mountain, and it was obvious that this was a hidden city of the Star Brokers, as unheard of as the identity of the Patron Saint.

Let's listen to the great poet and ask the maids at home, Li Jinyi turned to the left and slowly left the study.

............

At dusk, in the inaccessible mountains in the northwest of the Feather of Hope, a winding forest path leads to the manor halfway up the mountainside, and at this moment Yin Yuyao is strolling on the stone steps of the path, enjoying the fragrance of birds and flowers on both sides of the road. Due to the coverage of the magical barrier, it is like spring all year round, and even at high latitudes, it is not cold.

Half an hour earlier, she had seen Lena off at the airport.

I don't know how Li Jinyi recovered, Yin Yuyao thought to herself, and activated a hidden switch on the rocks on the side of the road.

"Buzz~ Click......click-click-click" The sound of the gears turning, and then, the originally ordinary stone steps slowly slid upward, like an electric escalator, sending Yin Yuyao to the manor halfway up the mountainside.

When the new city was built, the patron saint ordered the mansion to be set up in this place far from the crowds and inaccessible, so as to avoid the harassment of worshippers to a large extent, and reduce the number of visits by various officials. But as time passed, distress arose. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, and the prohibition of teleportation, long-distance flying spells and flying machines in the Star Medium, you have to walk for half a day to go shopping, and you are often late for meetings. In order to improve the situation, she began to build several secret passages leading to the foot of the mountain. Considering the secrecy of this kind of thing, she can only learn the relevant knowledge on her own and then do it herself. After all, she is a person who has the power of the planet, and the project of digging holes and ditches can be done with a wave of her hand, and what bothers her is that there are various mechanical devices that can save her time and effort, although some intelligent components can be replaced by magic, but the various circuit compositions also make her dizzy.

However, it happened that during that time, she had a "falling out" with Li Jinyi, who took off her hood, and she didn't have to fly half of the Pacific Ocean all day to find that man on the Cloud Peak Star Island, so she had a lot of time to spare, and the original plan of only planning to build a few dark passages became bigger and bigger. In the past two years, the entire mountain has been transformed into a mechanism city crisscrossed by tunnels and hidden doors. At the moment, the electric stone staircase she is riding is only a small part of the preliminary work.

Since then, rumors of haunting on this hill have begun to appear in the new town, and it is said that there is a female ghost in white who haunts the place and walks with panning. If you see her on the mountain, don't come closer, or you'll be stunned by the rope that flies out of nowhere, and you'll be dragged unconscious to the bottom of the mountain. This was reported to the superiors, but it was never resolved, and it was speculated that the superiors were conducting secret military experiments there, but the rumors were never confirmed. After that, no one dared to go to this mountain. Of course, most of these people were Star Guards, and they didn't know that the Lord Yin they worshiped lived there, and they didn't know that the "female ghost in white" was the guardian spirit who was struggling to build a new secret passage.

It takes about fifteen minutes for an electric stone ladder to send people from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and when Yin Yuyao arrived at the manor, the maids were already standing neatly at the gate to greet them, nine people on the left and right, a total of eighteen young and beautiful maids, chanting in unison:

"Welcome back!" Lord Yin Yuyao. ”

"Are you idle and bored, or what's wrong? all come here to meet me, and if there's really nothing to do, go out and patrol the city to see if anyone is doing anything bad. Yin Yuyao didn't seem to buy the enthusiasm of the maids.

These maids are the servants of Yin Yuyao's mansion, and they also serve as the duties of the personal guards, all of them are talented, agile, and professionally trained, and can solve problems for the guardian spirit at critical moments. Sometimes, though, some of their actions can cause her troubles.

"We're just outside the house to be able to tell you quickly that your guest is getting better from his injuries and is now walking on the ground and is now wandering around the pond in the backyard. The maid at the head explained.

"Hmm, so soon, all right, all right, stop standing outside, hurry back to the house. Yin Yuyao waved her hand to disperse the crowd, and she walked quickly towards the backyard.

When she came to the backyard, she found Li Jinyi standing on a small stone bridge holding a bamboo pole, teasing the swans in the pond.

"Yo, toad, what are you doing to my swan?" Yin Yuyao quietly appeared behind him.

Li Jinyi was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the bamboo pole aside, turned around and looked at Yin Yuyao nervously.

"Thanks to your medicine, otherwise I would have to lie down for at least ten days and a half months, hehe. He quickly smiled.

"It's good to know. Yin Yuyao looked at her watch, at 6:40 p.m., and then said, "During this time, the maids will take turns to go to the bathroom to take a bath, you hurry back to the house and stay, in order to prevent you from peeping, you are not allowed to go out without my order!"

"Ahh......h

The two of them walked towards the house one after the other.

"Speaking of which, there are a lot of servants in your family, and they are all maids. Li Jinyi had nothing to say.

"What, you're drooling? Of course, it's too much, otherwise they can let you sleep in the study, the bedroom is occupied by them. ”

"Haha, in this way, I just think it's good to have a lot of people in the family, and it's lively all the time, so I won't be lonely. Li Jinyi said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Yin Yuyao stopped.

"What do you mean, who is lonely? Look down on people less. Yin Yuyao's voice was slightly excited.

"I didn't mean that. Li Jinyi spread his hands, and the experience of the previous times told him that he had to apologize immediately, "I'm sorry." ”

"What to apologize for, what to be sorry for. Yin Yuyao took another step and walked towards the house.

What kind of apologies? Yin Yuyao's words touched a certain nerve of Li Jinyi.

"Wait, there's something I've forgotten to say to you. He shouted abruptly.

Yin Yuyao's body trembled slightly and stood in place.

"Well, it's been two years, and I know why I didn't chase you out and ask why, why I didn't go to you later. Is it because I didn't take this matter to heart at all?" Li Jinyi's tone was a little excited, "Let's be honest, when I saw that you were a girl, I realized that I messed up, and my mind was in chaos, and by the time I came to my senses and chased out, you had already left Cloud Peak Star Island." As for the future, it's not that I didn't try to find you, but I didn't even see your face clearly, and your information is still highly confidential within the Star Broker, so I was really helpless, so I chose to give up looking for you for the time being. ”

Lai Jinyi calmed down his emotions for a while, and then said:

"But I never really gave up, and even though I didn't do anything, it doesn't mean that this relationship is not important to me, on the contrary, it is unique. Li Jinyi stepped forward and grabbed Yin Yuyao's hand and turned her around to face him.

"Forgive me, I'm sorry. His tone was sincere, and his eyes were earnest.

Yin Yuyao's eyes were crystal clear, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Fool! I forgave you a long time ago! It's just that after I came back that time, I made too much trouble, and those elders realized that something was wrong, and probed my flight records, and found that I had been to Cloud Peak Star Island hundreds of times in the past few years, so they began to spy on me, restrict me, and prevent me from having any contact with anyone from the Star Alliance except Lena. She looked into Li Jinyi's eyes, "If it weren't for the mission this time, those heads and elders would have acquiesced to me coming to you, and you apologized, I don't know when I would be able to say it, stupid." ”

Neither of them continued to speak, just looked at each other quietly, smirking stupidly, and the subtle atmosphere began to heat up in the flower field.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the house, and some people were whispering words like "kiss one". Looking inside, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the backyard, more than a dozen maids were munching on watermelons, munching on melon seeds, watching this emotional drama intently.

Finding that there were onlookers, the two quickly distanced themselves.

"Well, I'll go back to my room first. Li Jinyi said with an embarrassed smile, scratching his head with his hands.

"Hmm. Yin Yuyao nodded slightly implicitly.

After seeing Li Jinyi leave, Yin Yuyao slowly turned her head and looked at the group of troublesome maids, with the anger in her eyes, and the boundless killing intent began to spread, as if she was not the patron saint of the world at this moment, but the destroyer who brought the end of the world.

The maids were frightened of the watermelons and melon seeds in their hands, and they rushed to the bathroom, and their mouths kept passing the buck to each other.

In the blink of an eye, the not spacious bathroom was crowded with eighteen people, like a litter of rats fleeing for their lives, for fear of letting the cat slaughter them when they went out.

The footsteps of the "cats" outside the bathroom are approaching, and each sound is like the wailing of a death knell for the "rats" in the nest.

The footsteps stopped outside the door, and to the mouse's surprise, the cat did not break down.

"Get out of here, and you'll be punished for not being able to take a shower for a week. The cat's command was as grim as death.

Now the rats are miserable.

...... ......

Three days later, Li Jinyi's body had fully recovered and was ready to report back to the Star Alliance, and Yin Yuyao came to the airport to see him off.

"Hey, you don't have anything to say to me before leaving?" Yin Yuyao stood on the ground, looking at Li Jinyi, who was burying his head in the aircraft to check the instruments.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, and welcome to my house next time. Li Jinyi raised his head and said with a smile.

"That's all, that's all?" Yin Yuyao's eyes had a hint of resentment.

"That'...... What do you want me to say?" Li Jinyi thought for a moment, and then buried his head again.

"That's it...... The night before yesterday, you said 'this relationship is unique' that you meant...... No...... On me, watch-" Yin Yuyao squirmed, but before she could finish speaking, the sound of the engine starting had already drowned out her voice.

"~~~~~ boom~~~~"

"OK! I'm leaving, bye!" Li Jinyi closed the cab cover and waved goodbye to Yin Yuyao.

Before she could react, the aircraft had risen into the air in the blink of an eye, and after a long whisker dragged out among the clouds, it disappeared.

"I haven't finished asking yet, you idiot!!!" Yin Yuyao stomped her feet in anger on the spot.

On the plane, Li Jinyi looked down at the scenery around the Feather of Hope.

"Di~" The mobile phone rang, this is a new mobile phone bought when the Feather of Hope was shopping, it cost him a huge amount of money, fortunately, the upper mobile phone was broken in action, and he can go back to Yunding Xingyu Island for reimbursement, otherwise he will have to eat soil in the next two months.

Li Jinyi clicked on the message and saw that it was a voice from Xu Xiao.

"Apprentice, I heard that you are going back to Cloud Peak Star Island today, remember to come to Master's place, think about it, you help capture Saquig, and I will reward you. Don't forget, there's no need to reply, I'm too lazy to read it anyway. ”

What would it be? Li Jinyi was overjoyed, his excitement overflowing, and he immediately raised the power of the aircraft by another notch.
