Although this dark energy hasn't attacked Liang Senyu yet, there's no telling when it might suddenly strike.

It's a lurking danger.

Moreover, this dark energy is very powerful, making it a significant hidden threat.

Currently, Yuan Mu Ye certainly can't conveniently take Liang Senyu and the others along. He needs to wait for the world within the jade stone to become larger before it's more feasible.

However, developing the world within the jade stone consumes too much qi, which is disadvantageous for Yuan Mu Ye.

Especially now, Yuan Mu Ye needs to be even more cautious.

"Brother, do you have any way to deal with this dark energy?"

Yuan Xiao Yao suddenly asked.

Yuan Mu Ye shook his head and said, "Not yet, but in the current situation, if anything unusual happens, leave the room immediately and find Bureau Chief He."

"Bureau Chief He?"

Yuan Xiao Yao asked with a curious expression.

I hummed in agreement and then described Bureau Chief He's appearance in detail.

Of course, when going to find Bureau Chief He, Yuan Xiao Yao would have to hide.

In any case, Bureau Chief He is currently at the He Shen (Combining Spirit) realm. Even when facing that dark energy, he should have the strength to fight.

Liang Senyu nodded after hearing my words and said to me, "I understand, Mu Ye. Don't come back for the next few days. Focus on preparing what you need to do."

Liang Senyu always understands and accommodates others.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiao Yao couldn't help but start complaining to Yuan Mu Ye again, "Brother, look how considerate Elder Sister is. Look at you; you don't know how to care for people at all."

Yuan Mu Ye gave an awkward smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully or harm Xiao Yu."

"Hmph, that's more like it. It's good you still have some conscience."

Yuan Xiao Yao felt a little happier seeing Yuan Mu Ye's statement.

Since spending this time with Liang Senyu, she had been completely won over by Liang Senyu's personal charm. She never imagined that there could be such a beautiful and kind woman in this world.

She really likes this Elder Sister.

Yuan Xiao Yao even thought that it would be great if Liang Senyu were really her sister.

After lunch, Yuan Mu Ye had to go take care of his own matters.

There are still so many people outside Jiang City. If Yuan Mu Ye leaves, and the evil ghosts launch an attack, so many lives will be lost.

After leaving Jiang City and arriving outside, Yuan Mu Ye briefly checked the situation. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he returned to his room. Now he had something else to do.

That is to open the wooden box and see what exactly is inside?

At this time, the surrounding yin qi is still a bit thick, which causes the surrounding temperature to be a bit low.

Yuan Mu Ye closed the room and made sure that everything was alright before taking out the wooden box. After taking it out, the aura released from the wooden box was somewhat sacred.

When his hand was placed on it, a layer of light covered his hand.

This layer of light seemed to be alive, winding around Yuan Mu Ye's hand, as if it were jumping.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at this light, feeling amazed. He was becoming increasingly curious about what was inside the box. After waiting for a while, Yuan Mu Ye opened the box. After opening it, there was actually a round object sleeping inside.

The round object was curled up into a ball. At first, Yuan Mu Ye didn't recognize what it was. After waiting for a while, he gradually recognized it. Could this be...?

Alive?

Yuan Mu Ye felt some ripples in his heart.

At first, he was wary. After waiting for a while, he tried poking it with his hand.

A paw suddenly slapped Yuan Mu Ye's hand, as if trying to push Yuan Mu Ye's hand away.

And after the round thing's paw moved, Yuan Mu Ye clearly felt a relatively strong aura begin to spread out.

But fortunately, Yuan Mu Ye was already prepared. Although this aura was relatively strong, it still didn't cause any harm to Yuan Mu Ye.

At this time, the aura released from Yuan Mu Ye's body also overwhelmed it, causing the round thing to quickly sense this power. After a while, it gradually opened its eyes hazily.

The round thing was still fleshy. After seeing Yuan Mu Ye, its eyes suddenly lit up.

Its big eyes fluttered as it flew onto Yuan Mu Ye's shoulder.

At first, Yuan Mu Ye wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't dodge at all. This little thing was too fast, so fast that it was a bit dazzling.

When the round thing reached Yuan Mu Ye's shoulder, his heart tightened, and he was about to attack.

But at this moment, the round thing suddenly stuck out its tongue and licked Yuan Mu Ye.

When it licked him, its eyes were still wide open, looking like it was trying to please Yuan Mu Ye. This shocked and surprised Yuan Mu Ye.

What is this thing?

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't figure it out. But at this time, a divine beast suddenly appeared in Yuan Mu Ye's mind, a Qilin?

Could this be a Qilin?

But after thinking about it, it was impossible. Isn't this something that exists in the *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas)?

How could it exist in reality?

Moreover, the fleshy guy was very playful and kept pestering Yuan Mu Ye to play.

Yuan Mu Ye was a bit helpless, so he had to first put the fleshy guy into the jade stone to keep it there for the time being.

This fleshy guy was very intelligent. When Yuan Mu Ye said something, it seemed to understand, which surprised Yuan Mu Ye.

He originally thought there would be some magical weapon inside, but now it seems there isn't one.

He unexpectedly got a pet. Yuan Mu Ye didn't know whether to be happy or not.

After resting for a while, it was completely dark. Yuan Mu Ye came outside. Everyone was starting to cook, and this was also the time to eat dinner.

Yuan Mu Ye noticed a strange phenomenon at this time. There were quite a few people here who still dared to come out at night.

And some children were still playing outside.

He didn't know where they got a broken ball, and they were kicking it around.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but feel a bit lost. Playing ball like this should be the most normal thing, but now it has obviously become a luxury for many children.

He took a deep breath. He didn't know when, but someone had appeared next to him. He turned his head and saw Secretary Jiang...

A stiff expression appeared on Yuan Mu Ye's face. Secretary Jiang sat down next to Yuan Mu Ye very naturally.

This time, she surprisingly didn't say any nonsense.

At this time, some cooking smoke was rising. Even though there was no electricity here, everyone seemed to be living happily.
