Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 28: Staying Low


"Gained 5 Source Power Value!"

Su Ziyu casually pulled out the Meteor stuck in the Earthbound Yaksha's forehead, and with a flick of his wrist, he flung off the dark greenish blood cleanly.

The battle around them was almost over.

After the Red Leaf Ghost Woman and the Snow Woman quietly retreated, the Earthbound Yaksha was basically done for. This Evil Ghost was truly a simpleton, charging around recklessly, and when it turned around, it realized all its allies had fled. Even the Red Prajna was smarter; seeing the situation wasn't right, it fled even at the cost of losing a hand.

"Husband." Qing Ji closely followed behind Su Ziyu.

He looked back at Qing Ji with a slight headache, his expression troubled, "Do you have to follow me all the time?"

"Yes." Qing Ji blinked, nodding very seriously.

"Alright then, if you want to follow, just follow." Su Ziyu shrugged helplessly.

The battle had just ended.

He still had many things to do. Su Ziyu turned to glance at Abe no Seimei, who had sustained minor injuries from the Red Leaf Ghost Woman's attack. A woman wearing a fox mask was healing him. She should be Abe no Seimei's mother, the legendary Fox Immortal - Ge Ye. She had only a faint demon aura, like a monster who has cultivated for a long time.

"Gained 1 Source Power Value!"

"Gained 1 Source Power Value!"

"Gained 1 Source Power Value!"

Su Ziyu made a round of the battlefield. Besides the Source Power Value he acquired, others had also taken down some ferocious Evil Ghosts and Vengeful Spirits. After doing a brief tally, he realized he had gained a total of 16 Source Power Value tonight.

The key was that he didn't even exert much effort, he just went with the flow and managed to earn this much Source Power Value.

"It seems that leveraging circumstances is indeed important!" Su Ziyu thought to himself.

He used to prefer fighting battles alone, but now it seems that if he can make use of the natives' strength, the harvest of Source Power Value is significantly greater, especially in such large-scale pollution events.

Now, Su Ziyu had accumulated a staggering 20 points of Source Power Value!

The gains from this night equaled those from a large circuit he might have made, indeed, he should have returned to Kyoto, as Kyoto is the source of all pollution, the core area of the entire corruption event. The casualties tonight weren't small, as there were just too many Vengeful Spirits and Evil Ghosts, and close to twenty to thirty percent of Kyoto's Yin Yang Masters had been eliminated, not to mention plenty of Vengeful Spirits had escaped onto the Vermilion Bird Dao, all of which they would need to clean up later bit by bit.

But fortunately, there weren't many people left in Kyoto, as most had already fled during the day.

At least there wouldn't be too many unjust deaths among the innocent today; only Su Ziyu didn't quite understand how the enemy's attack tonight related to the ritual, the words of the Red Prajna left him a bit uneasy.

Abe no Seimei arranged for Su Ziyu to live in a separate courtyard.

The strength Su Ziyu displayed tonight was enough to make many people take notice, especially after Qing Ji's appearance, which caused mixed feelings for many. Qing Ji's strength was naturally very powerful, but she seemed to only care about Su Ziyu, completely indifferent to the lives of others, even if nearby Yin Yang Masters were in danger, she wouldn't even spare a glance. But as soon as an Evil Ghost tried to attack Su Ziyu, she would immediately incarnate into a cold and ruthless Great Demon, burning those Vengeful Spirits and Evil Ghosts to ash with a wave of her hand.

In these extraordinary times, Qing Ji's strength was undoubtedly a crucial aid, but this aid was entirely up to Su Ziyu's decision; only when he intervened would Qing Ji be interested in lending a hand.

Otherwise, she had no interest in these matters at all.

Even if Kyoto completely turned into a Ghostly Land, she wouldn't care at all; Qing Ji simply didn't care if Fusang would fall completely.

"Husband."

"Let me help you wash up." Qing Ji entered the room with a basin of hot water, lifting her hair softly over her ears, her voice gentle.

At this moment, she had taken off the Jade Pendant from her head, her smooth black hair falling down; her fair wrist was tied with a red string with some small cylinders strung on it. Qing Ji, like from the Dream World, came over carrying a wooden basin to Su Ziyu's side, then squatted gently to help him remove his shoes, her lips curling into a joyful smile, softly saying, "I met an interesting old man on the way to Kyoto!"

"He said his name was Ebisu, an eccentric old man who hugged a Treasure Basin and rode a Big Goldfish."

Ebisu?

The legendary God of Wealth from Fusang?

Su Ziyu's attention was immediately attracted; by the time he reacted, Qing Ji had already removed his boots, just like in the Dream World, gently and carefully washing his feet.

At this moment, Su Ziyu couldn't help but pause, staring at Qing Ji's extraordinarily beautiful profile, his expression had a slight daze, his body tensed a little but then relaxed, his expression gradually calming as he asked, "Where did you meet him? What did he say to you?"

Qing Ji's lips curved into a faint smile, glancing up slightly at Su Ziyu, her white fingers gently pressing on his foot, quite joyfully saying, "I met him in Yuanjiang Province!"

"I asked him if I could find Husband this time."

"He said I could."

"Indeed, I encountered Husband in Kyoto!"
