171: A spiritual storm is coming.

"Ling Xi, save my butt!" the White-Haired Loli pleaded, clutching the sleeve of Ling Xi's white lab coat. Her watery, cat-like eyes gazed up at her pitifully.

Ling Xi let out a soft sigh, reached into her pocket, and carefully took out an exquisite syringe.

She gently helped Chief Assistant Lin up, leaning her against the pillow behind her back. Then, she steadily held the syringe and precisely injected it into Chief Assistant Lin's neck.

"Fortunately, Her Majesty is thoughtful and prepared this syringe for me in advance," Ling Xi said softly while slowly pushing the plunger of the syringe.

"Based on this dosage and the medicine's potency, Chief Assistant Lin should wake up in about two or three hours." Ling Xi put away the used syringe.

At that moment, the curious White-Haired Loli couldn't help but lean in. Her small nose twitched as she sniffed, instantly catching a familiar scent.

Blinking her lively cat-like eyes, she asked in confusion, "What exactly is in there? Why does the smell feel so familiar?"

Ling Xi smiled slightly, a hint of envy showing in her eyes. "A drop of Her Majesty's essence blood was added to this."

"Ah? It's actually essence blood! I want to take a sip and taste it too!" Hearing this, the White-Haired Loli's eyes lit up. She couldn't help but stick out her little tongue and lick her lips, as if she could already taste the deliciousness of the essence blood.

"His Majesty is so biased, giving Chief Assistant Lin all the good stuff for herself. It makes Yu Yu so sad!"

Ling Xi shook her head and comforted her, "As an adult, you should be more magnanimous."

"After all, this essence blood contains powerful Samsara power, which is perfect for quickly waking up Chief Assistant Lin. And don't forget, Chief Assistant Lin is destined to become the 'Lady Meng Number Two' in the future."

"Her status might even be higher than ours; she could be our direct superior by then!" After saying that, Ling Xi carefully laid Chief Assistant Lin's body flat and neatly tucked her in.

[Tsk! Superior... It's not like Yu Yu hasn't bent her over before!!!]

The White-Haired Loli kept staring at Lin Ran's neck without even blinking.

[Want to eat... want to lick... want to bite...]

"Stop looking; it's useless no matter how much you stare," Ling Xi said helplessly.

"Hmph, stingy!" The White-Haired Loli turned her head away, but she still couldn't help stealing a few glances every now and then.

"Alright, let's go out and let Chief Assistant Lin rest. Besides, it's time for Lord Prefectural City God to start work." Ling Xi briskly pulled the White-Haired Loli out of the room.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let go, let go."

"Behave. If you don't start work soon, your entire attendance bonus will be docked!!!"

"Oh! Going to work~ catching ghosts~."

...Great Xia Capital, Special Affairs Bureau Headquarters

"Wow, today is such a good day~ I've made plans with Sister Meng to watch a movie at home after work. Hehehe!"

"Heehee... I'll also give her a bouquet of Manta Roses. The romantic atmosphere will be perfect."

"It wasn't easy to beg Sister Meng to watch a movie with me. Qiu Dayan, you have to go for it this time!" Qiu Yanhui suddenly stopped her murmuring.

Her expression instantly stiffened, and her pace became frantic. She even stumbled slightly as she rushed toward the office window.

When she reached the window, she saw the distant horizon filled with tens of thousands of miles of purple clouds rolling in like surging waves.

The morning glow was like an endless silk ribbon stretching to the edge of her vision. At a glance, the brilliant light had already covered the entire visible sky.

Yan Hui was completely stunned by the wondrous sight before her, falling into a state of utter bewilderment.

Just then, the phone in her pocket rang at an inopportune moment.

Yan Hui seemed to snap out of it. She hurriedly pulled out her phone and saw the words "Director Lin" displayed on the screen.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and blankly pressed the answer button. "Hello, Director Lin."

Lin Zhihai's steady voice soon came from the other end. "Yan Hui, come to my office for a moment."

Yan Hui nodded mechanically and replied, "Okay, Director Lin." Then she heard Lin Zhihai continue, "The Spiritual Energy Storm has arrived early, and the situation is quite urgent. I'll need you to lead a team to patrol the capital tonight."

"Yes, Director Lin," Yan Hui frowned and replied briefly.

Afterward, she hung up the phone, turned away from the window with a heavy heart, and walked toward Lin Zhihai's office.

[The bird in my hand has flown away, and my workload is going to double. So annoying, so annoying! Why did it have to happen early!]

...Various plants on balconies and in courtyards seemed to be injected with endless vitality, crazily stretching their branches and leaves, growing to their hearts' content.

Flowers that shouldn't have bloomed during 'this season' quietly blossomed overnight, their brilliant colors intertwining.

In hospitals, after the Spiritual Energy Storm hit, even patients suffering from serious illnesses like cancer saw their conditions show significant signs of improvement in an instant.

Deep within various primeval forests, wild beasts relied on their innate sharp intuition to sense that the world was undergoing a world-shaking transformation.

They instinctively let out deafening roars, filled with demonic nature and power. This was a response to the sudden change and a prelude to their impending demonization.

Above Western countries, a strange, faint net suddenly appeared within the thick clouds.

This net seemed both tangible and ethereal, flickering with a blurred light, yet it vanished without a trace in an instant.

It left the people who witnessed the scene dumbfounded, their hearts filled with shock and confusion... "Such abundant Spiritual Qi is truly a once-in-a-millennium occurrence!" the Temple Master of Xuan Wei Temple couldn't help but exclaim.

He keenly sensed that his own cultivation base showed signs of loosening. Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged.

He sat steadily on the ankle-high grass. With his eyes slightly closed and his right hand forming a seal, he quickly entered a state of meditative cultivation.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was drawn by some gravitational force, continuously gathering toward him and gradually enveloping his entire being... The Spiritual Qi seemed to want to break through the constraints of his body, forcibly drilling into his extraordinary meridians and gradually filling his entire skeleton... "Hiss... my energy center is so hot!"

Yun Song couldn't help but gasp. His voice trembled as the words squeezed through his teeth—his energy center felt like a raging fire was burning wildly.

Even though he was in such discomfort, he still struggled to raise his hand and use his sleeve to wipe away the large beads of sweat constantly popping up on his forehead.

His eyes remained fixed on his master, who was meditating with closed eyes nearby, but he didn't dare make any noise to disturb the old man!

After all, his master was at a critical juncture in his cultivation. Even a slight distraction could make all his previous efforts go to waste.

Having no other choice, Yun Song could only grit his teeth and desperately suppress the churning Spiritual Qi inside his body.

[Hiss! This Daoist is going to die of pain.]
