Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 146 The Corruption of Evil Forces

Initially, the stone beasts remained wary of Su Yin, but as time went on and Su Yin continued to send friendly signals, they became more cautious.

Finally, one of the smaller stone beasts seemed to sense Su Yin's sincerity. Its tense body gradually relaxed, and the hostility in its eyes gradually dissipated.

Finally, the stone beast actually walked towards Su Yin on its own and gently rubbed its huge head against Su Yin's outstretched hand.

Seeing this, the other stone beasts seemed to be infected as well, and they all put away their aggressive postures and became much more docile.

Thus, thanks to Su Yin's efforts, the group successfully eliminated the threat posed by the stone beast and successfully collected the long-desired spiritual herbs.

On the way back, everyone talked about this amazing experience.

Su Yin sighed, "Whether it's a phantom beast or a stone beast, as long as you feel it with your heart, you can resolve unnecessary conflicts." Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

When everyone returned to the group, they quickly handed the hard-won spiritual herb to the injured Wen Xingyu.

Wen Xingyu looked at the spiritual herb in her hand, a look of determination and gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Without any hesitation, she decisively put the herb into her mouth, chewed it gently, and swallowed it.

In an instant, a warm and gentle medicinal power flowed through her body like a clear spring, quickly spreading to her limbs and bones.

In just a short while, the medicinal power had already penetrated every corner of her body.

The meridians and internal organs, which had appeared pale and weak due to the injuries, were now being slowly nourished and repaired by the medicinal power.

As the medicine continued to take effect, the pain on Wen Xingyu's face gradually faded, replaced by a rosy glow that was gradually regaining its vitality.

Meanwhile, Huan Yuechu, who had been silently observing everything from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

She had previously harbored doubts about Su Yin, but at this moment her opinion had completely changed.

The reason Su Yin appeared in this forest was not because she harbored any ill intentions, as previously speculated, but to protect the nearby villages from evil spirits.

Furthermore, judging from the battle with the Phantom Beast just now, he is a seasoned veteran in dealing with all kinds of surprise attacks in this forest.

Thinking of this, Huan Yuechu couldn't help but sigh to herself: It seems that things in this world cannot be judged by appearances alone. Only by understanding things deeply can one truly see a person's true nature!

Moreover, through this arduous journey to find medicine and Su Yin's courage and wisdom, Huan Yuechu deeply realized that this seemingly naive boy actually possessed an incredibly strong heart and admirable abilities.

Huan Yuechu said in a gentle and slightly apologetic tone, "I apologize if my words were offensive just now. I hope you won't take it to heart."

The boy's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright, sunny smile. He gently scratched his thick, black hair.

Then, with great generosity, he waved his hand as if he had put all the unpleasantness behind him and said in a relaxed tone, "It's alright, it's all a small matter, how could I take it to heart!"

And so, the storm that arose from a misunderstanding finally subsided.

Just then, the young man, still smiling, spoke softly.

"Since you friends have come from afar, and it is getting late, why don't you stay at my humble abode for the night?" With that, he pointed to the dark, deep, lush forest not far away.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant and worried.

However, after a brief moment of thought, they all nodded in agreement.

So, Huan Yuechu and her group followed closely behind the boy, carefully stepping into this mysterious and unpredictable forest.

Normally, the journey from here to home would be a short one for the boy, but today, for some reason, the road seemed unusually long.

Along the way, they constantly encountered various dangers.

Those animals that were originally docile, obedient, and lovable all seemed to have been corrupted by an evil force, becoming unusually violent and ferocious.

They bared their teeth and lunged at people, occasionally spewing out plumes of pitch-black, murky air.

The foul odor emanated a pungent and unpleasant smell that made people want to vomit, and at the same time, it sent chills down their spines.

Faced with this fierce and overwhelming offensive, Su Yin remained calm and composed.

He calmly and slowly took out a crystal-clear jade flute from his bosom.

Then, he gently placed the jade flute to his lips and began to play.

In an instant, a melodious and moving tune spread out like ripples on water.

The melodious flute music was like heavenly music, and seemed to possess some kind of mysterious magic.

Surprisingly, this caused the group of wild beasts, which had been rampaging and charging around wildly, to gradually quiet down.

They stopped their frantic roars and indiscriminate attacks, standing still with their eyes softening.

However, relying solely on Su Yin's flute playing to soothe the situation was clearly far from enough to completely control it.

Just then, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared, none other than the agile and nimble Xu Yan!

With a swift movement, he weaved through the dense horde of beasts like a ghost.

At the same time, the longsword he gripped tightly in his hand flew up and down, creating a dazzling display of sword flowers and forming an impenetrable net of swords.

Moreover, every swing of his sword was so precise and accurate that the tip of the sword always hit the target with perfect accuracy.

Meanwhile, Mu Yang stood steadily a little further away.

He swiftly threw out various small, exquisitely crafted hidden weapons with alternating hands.

These hidden weapons drew beautiful arcs in the air, like shooting stars streaking across the dark night sky, accurately hitting the vital parts of threatening animals with deadly force.

Looking at Huan Yuechu's side, one could see her hands deftly forming complex and strange hand seals, her cherry-like lips slightly parted as she softly chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

As she cast her spell, blazing flames appeared out of thin air and swept towards the approaching beast with overwhelming force.

Every wild animal touched by the flames let out a painful howl and then retreated in panic.

As for the highly respected senior and the gentle and charming Wen Xingyu, they remained fully focused and highly vigilant, carefully protecting Xiao Bao to prevent him from suffering any accidental harm.

And so it was, with everyone working closely together and united in purpose, fighting bravely while making arduous progress.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already ventured deeper into the heart of this vast forest.
