Chapter 2648

Fifth Daoist suddenly spoke.

Zhu Yanyi’s face remained calm as she inserted acupuncture needles for Elder Wu. While working, she said, "I know this is a test. But for you, this was your life. You stay here because you have regrets. I am a doctor. I cannot fix everyone’s regrets. But some people want their wounds to heal. So I give them healthy bodies. Even if these bodies are fake, at least here, they are healthy."

Her voice was slow and calm. "Also, I hope everyone can be happy. Only then is there hope for the future."

Fifth Daoist laughed. "You are right. There is hope. But many people hope to die with perfect bodies, not broken ones. This small obsession keeps them from reincarnating. We saw your hard work these days. Did you notice? Fewer people come for treatment. Their obsessions are gone. Thank you, little girl."

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. She had noticed this early on. "I knew this. But I saw your sincerity. So I added Soul-Stabilizing Pills and Meng Po’s Soup to your medicine. Now they can go to reincarnate peacefully."

Fifth Daoist said, "Little girl, this is just a trial area. The real experience comes next. Enjoy it. I wait for you to get what you want."

"Thank you. I will try hard." Zhu Yanyi smiled and thanked her.

Fifth Daoist waved his hand and vanished. Then, the people nearby began to disappear one by one.

Zhu Yanyi saw this and knew their obsessions were gone. She felt relieved.

She watched them leave. She did not say much.

She had noticed something strange on the first day. The patients were souls, not living people. As the Queen of the Underworld, Zhu Yanyi could heal souls. She helped them fulfill their wishes and clear their obsessions. That is why they left happily to reincarnate.

When everyone was gone, she felt light. She looked around. This was no longer a battlefield.

It might have been one before. But now, it was just an open field.

Zhu Yanyi sat in the field and closed her eyes. She felt everything around her.

Peace was so comfortable. Here, she did not worry about bad moods. It seemed she was alone, but it was very quiet.

Zhu Yanyi did not use her carpet. She lay directly on the ground. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds.

The environment felt real. She felt the wind. She heard faint ants crawling. She felt everything. But she knew this peace would break soon.

Instead of letting others break it, she would break it herself.

Zhu Yanyi opened her eyes and sat up. She started a fire. Then she took tools from her Ruyi Space. She began to make soup. Zhu Yanyi liked mushroom soup. She took out many mushrooms, cleaned them, and put them in the pot to boil. She also took out a steamed bun. She skewered it with a fork and began to roast it.

She ate slowly. The bun was cold, but roasting made it smell good.

Zhu Yanyi peeled off the black outer skin and ate it. She nodded while eating. The bun tasted good.

While she was eating, someone came over. Well, not exactly a person. she looked like a person, but she had a tail behind her. It looked like a cat’s tail.

"Your food looks good. Can I have some?" she asked Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi handed her a bun. "I have ingredients. But you must roast it yourself."

"Let me try." He did not hesitate. He took the bun and started roasting it.

Zhu Yanyi did not rush her. She ate her own food. The soup was ready. She took a wooden bowl and spoon. She scooped some soup and drank it. She nodded. It was true. Ingredients from the space tasted much better.

"Can you not eat so happily?" she asked, watching Zhu Yanyi.

"Why can’t I eat happily? It is my food," Zhu Yanyi asked back.

"I am a guest. Shouldn’t you invite the guest first?" he said.

"But I do not know you," Zhu Yanyi answered directly.

She paused. She tilted her head and thought. Then she said, "My name is Mao Wu."

"Mao Wu? Like a thatched cottage?"

"No, Mao Wu. Cat Mao. Five Wu. Mao Wu." He made a cat shape with his hands. "Meow meow cat. Fifth five. Mao Wu."

"Mao Wu and thatched cottage sound similar," Zhu Yanyi said. She handed her a bowl and spoon. "Scoop your own soup. I will not serve you. I want to eat too. I have no time to take care of a meow."

"I am Mao Wu. Not meow," Mao Wu repeated firmly.

Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "Here, it does not matter what you are. In my heart, you are a meow. At least you have a meow’s tail."

"I am a cat-person. My ancestors turned into cats. We are different from you," Mao Wu said.

"So you are a Meow Star Person," Zhu Yanyi said, understanding. "I thought Meow Star Person was just a nickname for cats. I did not know they really existed."

"What Meow Star Person? Do not talk nonsense. We are cat-people," Mao Wu insisted.

"What is the difference between cat and meow? You said your ancestors were cats. We call cats meow. So your cat-person is a Meow Star Person to me," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "Alright, Meow Star Person. Why are you here? I am not curious. Finish eating and leave."

Mao Wu was stunned. "You are driving me away?"

"Otherwise? Do you want to stick to me? That is impossible. No matter what, I will not travel with you," Zhu Yanyi looked seriously at Mao Wu.

Mao Wu seemed confused. "Why impossible? We cat-people are very strong."
