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

Chapter 105 Gathering the Spirit Pearls to Cure the Poison

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Xu Yan calmly observed the situation from the sidelines.

He keenly sensed that the reason the shadowy figure possessed such power was entirely due to the dark aura that continuously spread from beneath its feet.

The dark auras, like giant black pythons, twisted and writhed wildly, spreading outwards.

Xu Yan's eyes flashed. He thought that severing the connection between the shadowy figure and the dark aura might weaken the opponent.

So he quietly took his sword and, seizing the opportunity, slashed at the dark aura beneath the shadow's feet.

As it pierced into the darkness, the shadowy figure indeed swayed, and its attack slowed down.

Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity to increase her spiritual power output, forcefully repelling the dark figure.

Wen Xingyu wasn't idle either; she noticed some faint points of light in the surrounding mist, which looked like some kind of energy source.

She tried to use her abilities to guide these points of light to converge.

As the points of light converged into a bright ball of light, the fog began to gradually dissipate.

The shadowy figure was shocked to see this and tried to stop it, but was stopped again by Huan Yuechu.

As the fog thinned, the power of the shadowy figure weakened.

Finally, Wen Xingyu threw the ball of light at the shadowy figure, which screamed in agony under the light and disappeared.

The three exchanged a smile; after all the twists and turns, they had finally managed to obtain the Spirit Pearl.

The spirit pearl floated quietly in mid-air, waiting for them to collect it.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and carefully reached out to take the spirit pearl.

Just as his finger was about to touch the spirit pearl, the spirit pearl suddenly flashed with a dazzling light.

After the bright light, a little elf-like creature appeared before us.

“You have passed my test,” the little elf said crisply.

The three looked puzzled, and the little elf explained, "This spirit orb is actually something I guard. I set up this test only to find someone with a destined and steadfast heart to entrust it to."

Wen Xingyu asked curiously, "Then why were so many dangerous checkpoints set up?"

The little elf smiled and said, "If you couldn't even overcome these dangers, how could you deserve the Spirit Orb? Now you have proven your courage, wisdom, and unity."

After saying that, the little elf presented the spirit orb to Xu Yan with both hands.

Xu Yan accepted it solemnly, and instantly felt her body enveloped in warmth.

"Make good use of its power. I hope you will stay true to your original intentions and never do evil." After saying this, the little fairy turned into starlight and disappeared.

Xu Yan walked lightly but somewhat hurriedly to Huan Yuechu with the spirit pearl she had obtained.

He stretched out his hands and presented the spirit pearl to Huan Yuechu, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said softly.

"Boss lady, after many hardships, we have finally collected all five spirit orbs! Try them out and see if you can use their magical power to cure the poison in your body?"

Huan Yuechu took out the Five Spirit Pearls, and the five pearls emitted a soft light, gradually converging together to form a colorful halo that enveloped her.

Huan Yue closed her eyes and focused her energy on guiding the power of the spirit pearl into her body.

A moment later, fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu watched nervously, not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, Huan Yuechu opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Xu Yan was shocked. "Boss lady, are you alright?"

Huan Yuechu smiled slightly, "The poison has been mostly neutralized. This spirit pearl is indeed effective." After saying that, she closed her eyes again, adjusted her breathing, and used the power of the spirit pearl to continue to clear away the remaining poison.

As time went by, the light of the Spirit Pearl grew weaker and weaker, while Huan Yuechu's complexion improved.

Finally, the light completely disappeared, and the Five Elemental Pearls returned to Huan Yuechu's hand.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu, "Thanks to you both this time, I feel full of energy. The poison has been completely eliminated."

Upon hearing this, the two smiled with delight.

Huan Yuechu stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt more comfortable than ever before.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu with a solemn gaze, and then made a promise with a serious expression.

"This time, I really owe a debt of gratitude to you all for your desperate search for the Spirit Pearl. If it weren't for your help, I would probably be dead by now."

"So from now on, as long as it's within my power, I can grant one request from any of you!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Xingyu's eyes lit up instantly, as dazzling as stars twinkling in the night sky.

She laughed mischievously and said, "Wow, Sister Yuechu, you're a woman of your word! I'll have to think about this carefully."

"What kind of wish should I make? I need to think about this carefully!" She then deliberately kept everyone in suspense, making them even more curious about what she was thinking.

Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, kept a smile on her face and quietly watched everything that was happening before her eyes without saying a word.

But from his gentle, watery eyes, one could sense an indescribable calmness and composure.

At this moment, the toxins had been completely neutralized, and the long-suppressed gloom finally began to dissipate.

However, some things, like seeds buried deep in the ground, began to stir again as the poison was removed, eager to break through the soil and be brought back to the forefront.

Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Clearly, they all thought of the troublesome demons from ancient texts.

The two nodded to each other tacitly, indicating that they were mentally prepared for what was to come.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and broke the silence by asking, "Boss lady, now that the poison has been neutralized, what should we do next?"

He appeared calm, but deep down he felt a vague unease.

After all, no one knows what kind of hardships and dangers await them ahead.

Huan Yuechu looked firmly into the distance. "The evil forces lurking in the darkness have been stirring for a long time. We must find their lair and wipe them out in one fell swoop to prevent more innocent people from being harmed."

Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu responded in unison, "We'll follow the boss's instructions!"

So they set off to Min Province to find the wise man Wen Xingyu had mentioned, and inquired about him everywhere.

But when they arrived in Min Province, they found it to be a desolate place.

The streets were nearly deserted, and everyone who was walking hurriedly looked pale.

Wen Xingyu frowned and said worriedly, "It seems that the evil force has already affected this place."

The three kept asking passersby about the whereabouts of the wise man, but people looked terrified and avoided him at all costs.

Just when they were filled with despair and almost ready to give up completely.

Suddenly, a ragged child, like a ghost, quietly approached them.

The child was thin and small, and his clothes were tattered, as if he had been through countless storms.

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I know where the wise man you are searching for is."

Upon hearing this, the three were taken aback at first, and then their faces lit up with surprise and delight.

Wen Xingyu asked impatiently, "Can you really find that wise man? Can you take us to pay our respects to him?"
