Shen Yan stepped forward and walked up to the fake aunt, saying coldly, "Hand over that aunt's body, or I'll take you, Green-faced Man." The palm of his hand began to emit a faint blue light again.
The fake aunt looked down at Shen Yan's hand and said, "That old woman's body has already been..."
"Your magic has not reached that level yet," Shen Yan said coldly.
"You saw through it," the fake aunt waved her hand in front of her face, reverting to her original green-faced appearance. "Speaking of which, you saw everything I did just now, why didn't you come forward to stop me? Now you want her body, you are truly hypocritical."
"Whether I am hypocritical or not is my business," Shen Yan slowly raised his hand. "You'd better hand over that aunt's body quickly."
The green-faced man had just witnessed Shen Yan's power, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
"I'll give it to you," he said, flicking his finger. Instantly, the aunt's body appeared within Shen Yan's line of sight.
Shen Yan ignored the green-faced man and looked down at the aunt.
The green-faced man said nothing, turned, and disappeared.
Immediately, Shen Yan stepped forward and crouched beside the aunt. He waved his hand gently over the aunt's body, sighed, and shook his head, "Beyond saving."
The next second, a gust of wind blew, and the aunt's soul appeared beside Shen Yan. "Great God, you've done this much for this old woman, I am already content."
"I'm sorry, I was a step too late," Shen Yan said guiltily.
"You managed to ask him for my body, I am already content," the aunt floated back half a step. "Thank you, I must leave now."
Shen Yan nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send your body back."
The aunt smiled slightly, turned, and left with the Yin messenger who came to pick her up, disappearing.
Shen Yan looked down at the aunt's corpse with a forlorn expression, his eyes sinking.
The next morning, Mu Anxiao opened her eyes uncomfortably, raised a hand to rub her slightly cramped neck, then sat up and took out the half-eaten flatbread from her bundle, and began to gnaw on it.
"Mu Anxiao, come up," Ye Yin said, throwing down the vine.
Mu Anxiao instinctively dodged and calmly looked at the vine. After taking the last bite of the flatbread, she replied, "Okay."
"Hurry up," Ye Yin called from not far from the dry well.
Mu Anxiao did not reply. She stood up with effort, grabbed the vine, and tugged downwards. Then, confirming the vine was sturdy, she began to climb up.
A few minutes later, Mu Anxiao clung to the well wall, then pushed hard and flipped out of the dry well. The moment she did, she closed her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yin walked to Mu Anxiao's side and asked.
Mu Anxiao blocked her face with her hand, gradually opening her eyes. "No, the sunlight is too glaring, my eyes can't take it."
"I didn't expect you to be quite capable, surviving a night down there without dying," Ye Yin said with his arms crossed.
Mu Anxiao, while trying to adapt to the light, said, "I'm just a human, what can I do? I can only accept reality."
"I didn't expect you to be so cowardly yet so daring," Ye Yin said lightly.
"What do you mean cowardly? I just accept reality out of habit," Mu Anxiao squinted, still looking at Ye Yin blurrily.
Ye Yin looked at Mu Anxiao's narrowed eyes and laughed, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"I'm human, of course it's that exaggerated," Mu Anxiao said, squeezing her eyes.
