What Ye Jin never expected was that after waking up, Alai didn't become a monster that only listened to Ye Zheng's words as Ye Zheng described.
Alai had his own memories, and the first person he called out after waking up was herself.
Ye Zheng was enraged, while Ye Jin, who was in her body, was moved to tears. Alai didn't forget her.
But Alai with his memories seemed to be in more pain.
*************
Ning Yitao picked up Alai's head and stood up. Ye Zheng was protected without any blind spots.
Ning Yitao deliberately took two steps forward and looked at Ye Zheng who was hiding behind the children, saying,
"Ye Zheng, are you very sure that Alai won't die?"
Hearing this, Ye Zheng became interested, with a disdainful look on her face: "Sure, no one can kill him. He's my masterpiece."
Ning Yitao leaned against the chair casually, looked Ye Zheng up and down from the bottom up, then laughed:
"Indeed, you're too weak. You can't kill him, but it doesn't mean I can't. Didn't you notice that his body can't get back on its own,"
"Did you forget that I can make his wounds unable to regenerate."
Ning Yitao's right hand transformed into a long sword. She smiled casually: "I can also kill him and make him disappear from this mortal world."
The sword in her hand flashed a cold light that made people afraid.
Only then did Ye Zheng notice that the place she felt was strange was here.
Alai was an immortal. No matter how serious the injury was, he could recover instantly, and the missing limbs would find their owner on their own.
She had never seen Alai in the state of only having a head in all these years.
Only then did Ye Zheng start to panic. If Ning Yitao killed Alai, Ye Jin would definitely not be willing to sleep again. She would definitely come out.
No, Ye Jin couldn't be allowed to come out.
She couldn't suppress Ye Jin at all now. If she came out, something bad would definitely happen.
If Ye Jin found out the password after coming out, she would definitely be finished.
Ye Zheng's mind was in a mess. She racked her brains and wanted to find a way to deal with it. She wanted to find the right words to persuade Ning Yitao.
Ye Zheng said in a confused order: "I'll let you go. How about it? You let Alai go. I'll let you go now."
Ning Yitao just shook her head and said the condition: "You underestimate me too much, Ye Zheng. I can't die in your incomplete formation. I just want to know where the formation eye is. Tell me, and I'll let Alai go."
Hearing that Ning Yitao wanted to know the formation eye, Ye Zheng was extremely unwilling. She just wanted to delay time in the chaos until the full moon. When her strength soared, she would see who dared to talk to her about conditions.
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment and calculated the time in her heart. There was still an hour. She looked at Ning Yitao and still opened her mouth, saying dejectedly: "The formation eye is in Di Yong's house in the village."
Who knew that in the cage next to Ye Zheng, there was a little boy with his face full of soot. He was so dirty that his facial features couldn't be seen clearly. He shouted at Ning Yitao loudly:
"She's lying. I've been to all the houses in the village. Di Yong's house isn't the formation eye. The formation eye was hidden by her."
Ning Yitao looked over with squinted eyes. From the boy's hair style, it could be vaguely recognized that it was Zhao Cai.
He was extremely embarrassed, and Chu Zhiyuan even laughed unkindly.
"Zhao Cai is really too hardworking." Ning Yitao thought. She helplessly glanced at Ye Zheng: "Okay, you don't want the opportunity I gave you. Then I'm helpless."
Ye Zheng panicked and wanted to defend herself and say something.
But Ning Yitao didn't care what she wanted to say. She just held the sword high. When she was about to pierce Alai's head.
A miserable female voice shouted: "Don't."
Then that voice completely changed to a different person's voice and said:
"I'm here. Stop."
A calm female voice.
Ning Yitao heard what she wanted to hear.
Ye Jin was finally willing to appear.
The entire aura of Ye Zheng's body was different now.
Ning Yitao could feel that the energy fluctuations from her body were thick. She had strength.
Now she should be called Ye Jin.
If it weren't for today, the time, location, and people were all favorable. She wouldn't come out.
Ye Zheng was waiting for the full moon tonight. Ye Jin knew that even if she snatched the control of her body now, Ye Zheng wouldn't be willing to pull Alai to die.
So, Ning Yitao gambled right.
After Ye Jin came out, she had already calculated all the things. She wanted to save Alai, find the missing limbs, and protect Ye Zheng to safely get through tonight.
Only in this way could Alai be protected safely.
Ye Jin was very surprised to see Ning Yitao again. Naturally, she could feel that Ning Yitao was very strong now.
She walked to Ning Yitao's side, distantly and politely greeted: "Ye Qianmo, long time no see. After so long, I apologize for hurting you when I was young. I'm sorry."
This matter had been on her mind for a long time. Whether Ning Yitao forgave her or not, Ye Jin still wanted to apologize for the mistakes she made when she was young.
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to Ning Yitao: "Give Alai back to me."
This was the first time Alai saw his mother again in so many years.
Alai had been dead for so long. Now, emotions could actually be seen from his dark and dead eyeballs. His mouth was blocked, and he desperately made a whimpering sound, wanting Ye Jin to notice him.
Ye Jin looked at Alai. The light of motherly love around her almost shined into Ning Yitao's eyes.
Ning Yitao lightly took a step back and threw Alai back into the box, interrupting the parent-child time of the two.
She shook her head at Ye Jin: "That's not okay. Although you changed a person, my condition is still the same. Tell me where the formation eye is."
Ye Jin was surprisingly calm: "The formation eye is Ye Zheng's soul. However, you know that I won't let you kill her,"
Ning Yitao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "That is to say, if Ye Zheng keeps hiding and doesn't come out now, without killing her soul, this formation can't be closed."
Ye Jin nodded: "That's right. Now I've told you. It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Ning Yitao didn't pause either. She picked up Alai's head and threw it into Ye Jin's arms.
Ye Jin wasn't afraid of her son who only had a head at all. Instead, she gently took out the cloth that was stuffed in Alai's mouth, gently stroked his face, and helped him tidy up his messy hair, just like treating a porcelain doll.
Ning Yitao didn't care about the scene of their mother and son reuniting and pouring out their hearts. She was just distressed about how she could destroy the formation eye without killing Ye Zheng.
She really didn't expect that Ye Zheng actually tied her life to this formation and made such a desperate move.
The people in the village were obsessed with Ye Zheng's identity as a shaman and offered sacrifices to her.
Every word Ye Zheng said was executed like an imperial edict.
Ye Zheng really didn't live in vain in these years. She firmly grasped Di's Village for generations. Just the fact that she never died made the villagers convinced.
Di Yong was right. Once Ye Zheng died, the entire village's villagers would die with her.
Then all the things she did would be a waste. Not only did she not get the merits, but she would also add a sin. Thinking about it, Ning Yitao suddenly shook her head.
No, no. She absolutely couldn't add sins.
Ning Yitao's thoughts were pulled back by Ye Jin who passed by her.
Duan Qinghuai stopped Ye Jin and asked: "Where are you going?"
But Ye Jin suddenly let out a low exclamation as if she was burned, threw off Duan Qinghuai's hand like avoiding a plague god, and looked at him warily.
Ning Yitao looked at the red part of Ye Jin's arm that was touched by Duan Qinghuai. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
She looked at Duan Qinghuai with starry eyes, making Duan Qinghuai a little at a loss, thinking that he did something wrong.
Ning Yitao pulled Duan Qinghuai and said with a smile: "Why didn't I think of it? I still have you, a lucky star."
The young girl was smiling brightly. Her eyes were smiling into two crescent moons. The joy on her face seemed to overflow from the dimple at the corner of her mouth.
Duan Qinghuai vaguely saw the peach blossoms behind Ning Yitao. The fragrance of the flowers was overflowing. She was standing under the tree, smiling like a flower. Like the bright sun, she melted the winter snow.
Duan Qinghuai blinked his eyes. The scene he just saw disappeared again.
He was a little confused. How could there be a scene that didn't belong to this world in front of him again.
The girl in this scene actually still had Ning Yitao's face. How was this possible.
Duan Qinghuai didn't know what Ning Yitao meant, but he was also very happy that she was happy.
Ning Yitao took a side step and came in front of Ye Jin.
When she raised her lips and smiled, the smile at the corner of her mouth was extremely shallow, silent and light. It seemed to carry an extraordinary charm that was unpredictable. She could always easily engrave the smile deeply in others' minds, making it unforgettable. That bright and colorful smile like the summer was amazing to everyone.
Ye Jin felt like she was in another world. Sure enough, no matter when, she was the focus of the crowd.
Ning Yitao stretched out her hand to her: "Let's cooperate. I'll solve your trouble, and you'll help me solve my problem."
