I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

After knowing Tethys's condition, Manjushage was not as worried as before.

At least he is conscious now and is slowly recalling what happened in the past.

It turned out that it was a right decision to accept Mei Carlos's proposal. A good environment is conducive to recuperation.

If he had not been drained of his life by Jörmungandr, he might have lived a few more years by resting in Flowing Light City.

Manjushage looked at Katherina: "I want to go see Shengyin later, do you want to join us?"

This was quite strange, as it was Catherine who wanted to reminisce with her good friend, but it was Lycoris radiata who invited her instead.

Who made Catherine unable to meet Hui Ying and see Zhong Ling Sheng Yin?

"I... um... want to go." Catherine looked quite conflicted. She thought about it for a long time, but in the end she couldn't resist the urge to meet her friend.

She took out the green cone-shaped pendant hanging around her neck and rubbed it carefully, as if to relieve the tension in her heart.

Seeing that there was no problem on her side, Manjushage asked Wuxin for his opinion: "Would it be convenient for you to go with us to meet someone?"

"Me?" Wuxin pointed at herself in confusion. It seemed that she had no idea why Manjushage would look for her at this time.

However, after noticing Luo Shiqi beside her, her doubts were quickly dispelled.

I guess it’s something related to Luo Shiqi.

She nodded and gladly accepted Manjushage's invitation.

Of course there was a reason why he asked Wuxin to go with him to find Zhong Ling Shengyin.

After hearing Catherine's description, Manjushage guessed that she and Huisheng could see Zhong Ling Shengyin entirely because of their magical compatibility, which allowed them to observe objects whose existence could not be perceived normally.

But Luo Shiqi is different. Theoretically speaking, he is the human side of the God of Man, and the Holy Spirit is also transformed from a human. It is completely reasonable for him to see Zhong Ling Shengyin.

If that's the case, would the magic puppet created to imitate the sky priest be able to see her too?

Just at this moment the bells rang, and the magic of the Holy Spirit resonated in the hearts of the people, temporarily dispelling the fear and confusion about Grusel's coming.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Same beautiful singing as usual."

Hearing Manjushage's question, Wuxin answered honestly.

Catherine had a distressed expression. It seemed that without Huiying around her, she couldn't sense the presence of Zhong Ling Shengyin.

Manjushage smiled and said to Wuxin: "I can only hear the sound of the bell, and so can everyone else. Only you can hear the singing of the bell spirit Shengyin here - ah, you don't know yet, she is the Holy Spirit of the bell tower."

Wu Xin's eyes widened, as if he wanted to confirm whether he had heard correctly: "Are you saying that this bell tower is protected by a holy spirit?"

"No, to be exact, she was born here." Lycoris radiata shook her head.

She told Wuxin everything about how Zhong Ling Shengyin couldn't fully manifest and that he didn't have enough power. Wuxin was stunned.

Obviously, if it wasn't Manjushage who told her this, Wuxin would probably think it was a story made up by someone.

“No wonder I’ve never heard the bells since I came here. Even when I made a wish on the Blessing Festival, I thought it was an outdated custom. It turns out that what I hear is different from what most people hear.” Wuxin solved his doubts and smiled particularly brightly.

Following the singing, under the leadership of Luo Shiqi and Wuxin, they soon found Zhong Ling Shengyin on the balcony at the top of the bell tower.

"It's you, you..." After the song ended, Zhong Ling Shengyin seemed very happy to see Luo Shiqi and others again, but after seeing Catherine, a layer of cloud covered her bright smiling face.

"Really? You two didn't come back together." Zhong Ling Shengyin's tone was full of disappointment.

"In fact, she and Huiying came back here at the same time in a very tacit understanding." Manjushage said.

Before seeing her, Manjushage quietly grabbed Luo Shiqi's hand to facilitate the conversation with Zhong Ling Shengyin.

Once everyone's attention is drawn to her, no one will notice this.

However, at this moment, Wu Chang's faint voice came from the side: "Ah, Miss Manjushage and Luo Shiqi are holding hands."

"Oh my, Miss Manjusaka, really." Fan Yin subconsciously covered her eyes, but the gaps between her fingers were too big, and coincidentally, she did not cover her lively eyes.

"Although I can understand that you need Seventeen's help to talk to Shengyin, you should at least inform her in advance. Otherwise, it will easily lead to misunderstanding." Doyle didn't even blink. He noticed it when Manjushage quietly took her hand.

"I was careless. Others can't see Shengyin at all!" Manjushage hit her head in shame.

Under normal circumstances, if you knew there was an invisible person here, you would subconsciously look around.

Lycoris's seemingly casual movement naturally could not escape so many eyes.

"Ahem, I forgot to explain it, sorry." Manjushage tried to cover up her embarrassment with coughing.

She had to admit that she was a little too proud of herself and wanted to treat this as a sweet interaction between herself and Luo Shiqi, but unfortunately she was exposed.

But in this situation, I can't let go, otherwise it would really seem like I have ulterior motives.

"Um, can you please stop looking at me? You should focus your attention on Zhong Ling Sheng Yin." Manjushage said weakly.

The sights of Doyle, Fanyin and Wuchang were so dazzling.

Normally, it would be fine, she would just ignore Doyle in a gorgeous way.

But there were two minors next to her - not counting the years she spent sleeping in the ice coffin, Fan Yin was still a young girl.

I always feel like I'm leading a child astray.

"no problem."

"Please do as you please, don't worry about us."

"As you wish, Miss Manjusaka."

The three responded in a very cold tone, with no intention of moving their eyes away, and for some reason the atmosphere of gossip was getting stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, some things can still cause unimaginable misunderstandings even if they just lack a few details.

"Haha, you guys are still so funny." Zhong Ling Shengyin smiled, and her clear laughter was very pleasant to the ear.

"We came here this time to ask you if you know any news about Grusel." said Manjushage.

Since the Holy Spirit can listen to everyone's voice, it should not be difficult for her to find Ilivia Grusel who wants to commit a crime.

"Unfortunately, I have very little magic power left. I cannot perform even the simplest duties." Zhong Ling Shengyin opened his arms and showed his full appearance to everyone.

Compared to last time, her body became more and more illusory, to the point where it could be easily ignored if one was not concentrating.

Looking at her, Wu Xin suddenly thought of something: "Recently, people have been mentioning that they heard a beautiful piece of music when the last thunderstorm occurred. I guess it was you who protected the Gospel District at that time."

"Yeah." Zhong Ling Shengyin nodded with a smile.

Should we say that he is worthy of being a Holy Spirit? Even though his power is almost gone, he still wants to protect other residents.

But the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, even at this weakened state, her magic is still strong enough to offset the thunderstorm.

Even though the sudden lightning disaster only destroyed some buildings and did not cause any casualties, the noise alone was enough to scare many people.

Erica and others who had just arrived were responsible for pacifying the people under Rujing's instructions.

It is hard to imagine how difficult it would be if such a disaster happened again without her help.
