I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 259 I haven't gone out to relax for a long time

Shen Xing carried a bag full of packed food and traveled through the heavenly realm at night. He felt satisfied but also a little worried about Shen Li.

Returning to the Bi Cang Palace, the lights were dim, but the familiar bustle and Shen Li's figure were missing.

He sighed softly, and had a guess in his mind - Shen Li must be worried about the affairs of the military camp, so he went back quietly.

After placing the food on the table one by one, Shen Xing called the servants in the mansion, especially Rouya, to share the "afterglow" from the banquet.

As everyone sat around and talked and laughed, Shen Xing began to excitedly recount what he had seen and heard at the banquet, as well as those thrilling martial arts competitions, his words filled with pride and satisfaction.

However, when the topic gradually turned to something lighthearted, Rouya suddenly stopped smiling and said to Shen Xing with a serious look, "Master Shen Xing, a strange thing happened in the spirit world during the time you were away."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing could not help but sit up straight and listen carefully. Rou Ya continued:

"Recently, some people in the spirit world have disappeared for no apparent reason, causing panic among the people. Even more strange is that there is a rumor circulating that the daughter of the Heavenly Dao is about to be born, but this is a very bad omen, causing many living beings to feel uneasy."

Shen Xing frowned, the news sounded too bizarre, but he had to be on guard. He asked, "Are there any clues or evidence?"

Rouya shook her head, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes:

"However, I met an old man with a white beard by the lake. He looked like an immortal and made a prophecy. He said that in the near future, ancient gods will be resurrected. This may be inextricably linked to those disappearances and rumors."

After Shen Xing heard this, his heart was in turmoil.

The resurrection of the ancient gods is not just a story in mythology, it may also mean that the six realms will usher in an unprecedented change.

He pondered for a moment, decided to tell Shen Li about this matter immediately, and began to investigate the truth behind it.

So, Shen Xing hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, leaving behind a sentence "Take care of yourself, I'll be back soon", and then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the military camp.

Shen Xing shuttled through the military camp in the night, and every step he took seemed so firm and powerful.

He was fully aware of the responsibilities he shouldered, which was not only his concern for Shen Li, but also the protection of the safety of the entire military camp.

After inspecting the entire camp and confirming that everything was normal, he involuntarily walked towards Xutianyuan - the place that sealed ancient power and unknown dangers.

The Xutian Abyss appears particularly deep under the night sky. Although the light above the seal is faint, it still firmly guards this land.

Shen Xing listened carefully and seemed to catch a hint of an unusual sound. The sound was subtle and distant, but it set off alarm bells in his heart.

He quickly took out the ghost detector he carried with him, which was a sophisticated instrument that could sense the fluctuations of supernatural forces.

However, after careful testing, the instrument showed that everything was normal, and there was no abnormal energy fluctuation. Shen Xing frowned. Although he had doubts in his heart, he could only put them aside temporarily. After all, the instrument did not give any warnings.

With a hint of uneasiness, Shen Xing continued to look for Shen Li.

He knew that as the Queen of Bi Cang, Shen Li would often appear where she was most needed during the busiest times.

After some searching, he finally found Shen Li in the tent of the outpost.

She lay on the table with a tired look on her face, obviously exhausted to the extreme.

A warm feeling surged in Shen Xing's heart. He walked over gently and put a coat on her, moving so gently that he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.

Looking at Shen Li's sleeping face, Shen Xing's heart gradually calmed down.

He sat aside, quietly guarding the tranquility.

Time passed unnoticed, and Shen Xing's eyelids gradually became heavy. Finally, he could no longer resist the sleepiness, leaned back in his chair, and gradually fell asleep.

In his dream, he seemed to be in chaos, surrounded by endless darkness and unknown.

But in this darkness, he vaguely saw a ray of light, which was hope and guidance.

He walked towards the light, his heart full of determination and courage.

He knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, as long as he fought side by side with Shen Li, nothing would be impossible.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gap in the tent and shone on Shen Xing and Shen Li's faces, they opened their eyes at the same time.

Shen Li sat in the tent, flipping through information about the upcoming illusion trial, his brows furrowed, looking quite solemn.

She looked up at Shen Xing and said seriously:

"Shen Xing, I plan to stay in the military camp for another day to sort out all the affairs, and then go back to prepare for the second round of the illusion trial. This trial is very important to me, and I can't slack off in the slightest."

When Shen Xing heard this, an expression of understanding yet unwillingness flashed across his face.

He walked to Shen Li, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly:

"Shen Li, I know you care a lot about the military camp and the trials, but you also need to relax from time to time. You have been busy for a long time, and your body will not be able to bear it if you continue like this. Besides, you haven't gone out to relax for a long time. Do you remember that time when we went through the dense forest and experienced hardships in order to find the wise man in the spiritual world? In the end, we not only found the wise man, but also gained many precious memories and friendships? How free and happy we were at that time!"

Shen Li was reminded of Shen Xing's words. She put down the documents in her hand and her eyes softened.

She thought back to that adventurous journey and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Shen Xing was right. She really needed some time to relax and adjust herself. So, she sighed, nodded, and smiled:

"Well, since you insist, let's go out for a walk again. However, this is only for one day. Tomorrow I must return to the barracks to prepare for the second round of the illusion trial."

Shen Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the rising sun outside the window. Although she was concerned about the affairs of the military camp, she was also moved by the relaxing time proposed by Shen Xing.

She sighed softly, knowing that Shen Xing wanted her to put down her burdens temporarily and enjoy a moment of peace and freedom.

When Shen Xing heard this, a sly smile flashed in his eyes. He knew that once Shen Li agreed, she would not change her decision easily. He stood up, stretched, and said with a smile:

"Then it's settled! Remember our last adventure to the spirit world to look for the wise man? That was really exciting and fun. This time, let's go to the flea market, maybe we can find some treasures!"

Shen Li was reminded of Shen Xing's words. That trip was indeed unforgettable for her.

She smiled and said, "Okay, flea market, it sounds interesting. Let's go, we'll be off now."

The two of them left as soon as they said they would. Shen Li simply packed up and left the military camp with Shen Xing.
