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

Chapter 77 The Soul Returns to the Body

At this moment, the man steadied himself, made a hand seal, and unleashed a powerful spiritual force, breaking through layers of obstacles and flying rapidly toward Huan Yuechu.

This spiritual energy transformed into a rope that wrapped around Huan Yuechu's waist, providing her with assistance.

With the man's help, Huan Yuechu finally got close to the halo of light, reached out and grabbed it, feeling its warmth.

Overjoyed, I quickly shielded the halo of light in my arms, afraid it would be dissipated again.

The man quickly flew to her side, and the two looked at each other in silence, preparing to leave.

However, at that moment, the surrounding spatial turbulence suddenly surged wildly, as if it had been enraged.

Countless streams of energy converged into a massive storm that swept in.

The man hurriedly shouted, "Oh no, get out of here quickly!" After saying that, the man activated the formation with all his might.

Seeing this, Huan Yue tightly gripped the soul. At this moment, the jade pendant emitted a bright light again, and a bright passage appeared before them.

Without hesitation, the two rushed into the passage, with the storm chasing closely behind them.

Fortunately, at the last moment, they managed to get out of the passage and back into the cave.

Huan Yuechu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the soul in her hand with joy in her eyes.

Just as Huan Yuechu was about to examine the soul closely, she saw it gradually turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear into a nearby rock.

Both of them were stunned. Before they could react, the cave began to shake violently.

Stones rained down, and the man quickly pulled Huan Yuechu to a relatively safe corner.

"What happened?" Huan Yuechu asked anxiously.

The man looked around warily as he spoke, “That wisp of soul is inside this cave. However, it is not an evil being, but rather something I was forced to use to suppress the evil spirits here. But as the seal loosened, it was impacted and drifted away.”

Huan Yuechu asked, puzzled, "Can he leave now?"

The man nodded. "It's possible. Now that the evil spirit has been completely sealed, he should be able to leave this place and will slowly recover." As he spoke, the man walked to a corner, squatted down, and gently moved a stone aside.

A faint halo appeared, within which the faint outline of a soul could be seen.

Huan Yuechu leaned closer, curiously examining her.

The spirit seemed to sense their goodwill and drifted slowly.

"What should we do next?" Huan Yuechu asked.

The man took out a specially made container and carefully guided the soul into it.

“This vessel can nurture his soul. I was selfish before! I shouldn’t have imprisoned his soul. Now the problem is solved! Send him back to his original body!”

After saying that, the man looked at Huan Yuechu with gratitude on his face, "I am really grateful for your help this time. If we meet again in the future, I will treat you to a hundred-year-old jade dew."

Huan Yuechu smiled gently, "It's a deal."

Thinking I had important business to attend to, I said goodbye to the man and left. The man originally wanted to see me off.

I smiled, waved, turned and left, leaving behind only a carefree silhouette.

When I dragged my slightly tired body back to the inn, it was already getting dark.

Huan Yuechu entered the inn room and carefully placed the container containing the soul on the table.

She whispered to the container, "Little one, take good care of yourself first, and you'll be able to return to your original form soon."

The next morning, seeing that the soul had almost recovered, I hurriedly carried the container to the room where Grandpa Zhang was staying.

Throughout the journey, my heart was heavy, because Grandpa Zhang's anxious yet expectant gaze lingered in my mind.

Finally, I arrived at Grandpa Zhang's door and gently knocked.

A moment later, the door opened, revealing Grandpa Zhang's wrinkled but hopeful face.

"Boss lady, you're finally back!" Grandpa Zhang grabbed my hand and said in a trembling voice.

I nodded slightly to indicate that he shouldn't rush, and then went straight into the house.

On the bed lay a pale, lifeless man, none other than Grandpa Zhang's son.

I took a deep breath, calmed myself, and followed the method the man had taught me. I then began to use my spiritual power to draw his soul out of the container and slowly guide it back to his original body.

As the incantation resounded, faint rays of light converged from all directions, gradually merging into the body.

This process may seem simple, but it actually requires a lot of effort and spiritual energy.

Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on my forehead.

However, I dared not slack off in the slightest, for fear that the slightest mistake would render all my previous efforts futile.

With a soft flash of light, the soul successfully merged into the original body.

The person on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Huan Yuechu with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you for saving me, young lady."

Huan Yuechu smiled and shook her head. "No need to be polite. You should get some sleep first."

At that moment, the sunlight streamed into the room, as if heralding the beginning of a new life.

After a while, he slowly closed his eyes in exhaustion, and his breathing became steady. Only then did I breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, Grandpa Zhang, your son should be fine now. However, since his soul has been separated from his body for a long time, he will need to recuperate for a while before he fully recovers," I said to Grandpa Zhang, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

Grandpa Zhang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He held my hand tightly and thanked me repeatedly, "Thank you so much, child! We really don't know what we would have done without you..."

"Old man, please don't be so polite with me! What we did was a fair and reasonable exchange!"

"Honestly, if it weren't for your generosity in offering that incomparably precious spirit pearl, how could things have progressed so smoothly?"

Back then, when faced with numerous difficulties and thorny problems, it was only thanks to the powerful spiritual energy released by this spiritual pearl that we were able to turn danger into safety and overcome difficulties time and time again.

Grandpa Zhang waved his hand slightly, a humble expression on his face, and quickly said, "This is really too much for this old man! That bead was never meant for me. It's fortunate that it has found a good home. Luckily, it didn't cause any major disaster because of other reasons."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject, looking at the proprietress in front of him with a questioning tone, and asked, "So, what's next, proprietress? Is there anything else I need to do?"

"Now all that needs to be done is for you to strictly abide by the agreement we made beforehand."

"As long as you can carry it out properly, your son can live a peaceful and uneventful life." After saying that, I nodded slightly to indicate that the matter had been successfully accomplished.
