After Shui Qinan said goodbye to him, she returned to the tavern. She had been busy underwater for a while and had expended a lot of spirit energy. When she returned, the first thing she saw when she entered the inn was Chang Ruo's resentful gaze. Shui Qinan also felt that it was a bit embarrassing, she didn't greet him when she left. Chang Ruo, I was wrong! ”

Seeing that her expression was truly tired, although Chang Ruo felt angry in her heart, she still felt sorry for Xue Ji and knew to let her go back and rest first. Shui Qinan returned to her room and rested on the bed.

A few days after Yin Huaqing left, he suddenly and soundlessly appeared in Shui Qinan's room in the early morning. Yin Huaqing's expression was very tired, but he still held onto an egg very carefully. Yin Huaqing carried the egg and gently walked to Shui Qinan's bedside. Looking at her sleeping eyes, his exhausted face couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

Yin Huaqing placed the egg beside Shui Qinan, touched the hair on Shui Qinan's forehead deeply, and then quietly left.

The moment Shui Qinan woke up, she felt a familiar aura around her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao You's egg; she was stunned for a moment, then, with some fear, she carefully touched the egg's shell with her hand. She felt the warmth from her palm, and tears immediately flowed down. Shui Qinan excitedly pulled the egg into her embrace, closed his eyes, and quietly enjoyed the joy of recovering from the loss. After a while, Shui Qinan came back to her senses, hugged the egg and opened his eyes, quietly thinking, why did Yin Huaqing only put Xiao You down and leave?

The egg seemed to have felt Shui Qinan's spirit energy and released waves of light. Shui Qinan happily looked at the egg and could vaguely see Xiao You's petite figure sleeping inside the egg like an unborn baby.

”Xiao You, don't be afraid. Mother will help you recover very quickly.” Shui Qinan gently caressed the eggshell, her eyes filled with love. It was as if Xiao You who was inside the egg had also sensed Shui Qinan and released waves of gentle light. Shui Qinan looked at the egg in front of her with a smile, shook her head and said, ”It really is a treasure.”

Because Xiao You had fallen into a deep sleep and had never woken up. And right now, Shui Qinan suddenly felt a life force, Shui Qinan took out his Nine Heavens Pagoda and used her consciousness to check on the situation of the Nine Heavens Pagoda, only to see her body was covered with a layer of soft light, his expression was extremely comfortable.

Shui Qinan kept the Nine Heavens Pagoda and poked her egg: ”What a good master, worrying about your own Spirit Beast.”

The light on top of the egg gradually dimmed down. Shui Qinan placed Xiao You who had turned into an egg on the bed and said softly, ”Rest well.”

Xiao You's return greatly improved Shui Qinan's mood. Both Nangong Chu and Chang Ruo had felt the obvious change in her demeanor.

”Xue, why are you in such a good mood today?” Chang Ruo asked Shui Qinan who was eating breakfast. Shui Qinan looked up and glanced at Chang Ruo, and then slowly stuffed the bun into her mouth. ”Am I that obvious?”

”Of course there is. Usually you don't have much of an expression on your face, but now there's a smile in your eyes.” Chang Ruo said in an exaggerated manner, but Chang Ruo couldn't help but be curious, so she continued to ask: ”Just what kind of thing is it, tell me.”

”Xiao You is back.” Shui Qinan said with a smile.

”So it turns out that Xiao You has returned … Xiao You is back? ”Really?” He had been feeling guilty ever since Xiao You had been taken away by the Demon World, because if it wasn't for her not taking care of him properly, Xiao You wouldn't have been taken away by the Demon World either. Now that Xiao You had returned, Chang Ruo felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Chang Ruo was glad that Xiao You had returned.

”There's just one thing I don't understand.” Shui Qinan said softly. Logically speaking, Xiao You should have brought him back, why didn't Yin Huaqing even say goodbye to her before leaving? Was she in a hurry to do something, or was there another reason? Moreover, she had already reached the Heaven stage, yet he couldn't even feel someone entering her room!

Unless Yin Huaqing didn't want her to know that he had come, and thus deliberately hid his presence.
