A night of silence.

The next morning, before the rooster crowed outside the house, the cook girl hurried out of the house, as if announcing her resurrection.

"Wahaha! Resurrection!"

Dancing with the spear that was broken into two parts, the girl's cloth shoes stepped on the green grass, easily leaving a few footprints in the slightly moist soil.

Guo Ba behind him was also jumping on the grass with Xiang Ling. It seemed that the two of them had almost recovered after a night's rest.

"So what are you two doing running out so early in the morning?"

Being dragged out of bed by the girl, Bai Qiyun couldn't stop yawning.

Although it was a summer morning, the single clothes on his body still could not withstand the chill in the wind, making him feel sleepy and cold, which was really uncomfortable.

The girl listened to the boy's question, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at the pale sky.

"I'm going back today."

"oh."

Just like when he met Xiang Ling, Bai Qiyun had no reaction to the news that she was going back.

He will go back after a while anyway.

But it's a bit surprising that she went back so soon. Could it be that her cooking skills have improved?

Thinking that her already horrifyingly accurate seasoning skills still have room for improvement, Bai Qiyun felt a little numb.

How far does this guy have to grow before he stops?

"I didn't expect you to go back so early."

"After all, there will be the Moon-by-Moon Festival after I return, and after that there will be this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony, so there are a lot of things to be busy with."

Xiangling counted the days on her fingers.

There is still nearly a month until the Moon-by-Moon Festival, which is almost enough time for her to prepare.

"The Immortal Invitation Ceremony? Is the Immortal Invitation Ceremony so late this year?"

Bai Qiyun, who had never paid much attention to such things, was not very sensitive to time. He only vaguely remembered that the time for the Immortal Ceremony seemed to be different every year in recent years, but it did not seem to be like this when he was young.

After scratching his hair, Bai Qiyun realized that he couldn't remember things from his childhood, but fortunately he stopped thinking about them.

When he came back to his senses, he found the girl's big eyes with droopy eyelids staring at him helplessly.

"Brother Qiyun, why can't you remember such a big thing? Don't forget that Grandpa Bai still wanted you to work at that time."

——Uh, old man...

"Then... let's talk about it then."

Thinking of his own, Bai Qiyun tilted his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, don't talk to me anymore. If you want to leave, just leave quickly and hurry up before dawn."

His eyes passed over the girl's hand, and the broken gun on it caught his eye.

"Your gun..."

With Bai Qiyun staring at her hands, Xiangling lowered her head in wonder.

"Ah, you said this, it's okay, it's almost still usable anyway, look."

Holding one end in each of her two white hands, the girl waved the broken gun in the open space.

The light of the Eye of God flashed, and snake-shaped flames were wrapped around it again. The spiral fire elemental power connected the two broken guns. However, if you look closely, the whole thing still looks very uncoordinated.

When I go back, I have to build it all over again.

While waving the spear awkwardly, Xiang Ling thought about going back to the blacksmith shop to build a stronger weapon.

But she could accept it, but Bai Qiyun couldn't stand it.

After all, they cut off the weapons just to help them, so he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Although I only went into the cave because I wanted to find ingredients for her.

Bai Qiyun turned around and went into the house and dragged out a long iron rod. It was silvery white with a hint of black. It should be made from a mixture of marcasite and black iron ore. Although it was not a weapon specifically used to defeat the enemy, it was used temporarily.

Self-defense should be pretty good.

Before going to the competition venue last night, he had set his sights on this thing and planned to give it to Xiangling. After mentioning it to Bullock, she gave it to him without even asking for Maura.

'Hey, isn't it just a broken iron rod? No one will use it anyway, so I'll just give it to you.'

Such a cheerful attitude even made Bai Qiyun wonder if his rent was too much.

But that's not the point. The point is that the stick is his now.

Bai Qiyun moved the iron rod with some difficulty. This thing was made of pure iron, and he didn't have the strength to swing it easily.

"What's this?"

After seeing this big guy, Xiangling looked surprised and reached out to take it.

As soon as she took it, the heavy feel made her fall in love with this weapon that did not seem to be a weapon, and she casually swung the large iron rod, which was one meter long.

The sound of steel cutting through the air made Bai Qiyun a little frightened.

If that thing were to hit him without reservation, he would probably become stuffed buns.

"Nothing, just the best fire stick in the village."

Anyway, no matter what that thing is, if he says it is a fire stick now, it is a fire stick.

"Hey~"

The iron rod turned somersaults in Xiang Ling's hand, flying in the sky for a while and hitting the ground for a while. It felt so uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll accept this."

Holding the tight stick body, Xiang Ling could feel that there was nothing unusual about this thing, but she was a little fond of this long weapon. When she went back, she would ask her master to make one like this.

If it doesn't work, you can still go to a master... Hehe.

"Ah, crispy rice!"

Without paying attention, she ran away a long way with the apple in her arms. If she didn't keep up, she would be lost.

Putting away the broken gun, Xiang Ling put the iron rod on her back, turned around and waved her hand towards Bai Qiyun.

"Then I'm leaving first!"

"Bon Voyage."

On a summer morning, Bai Qiyun sent away his friend, and the wind was still calm.

————————

When he stepped into the door, Ying and Paimon were already sitting by the bed, waiting for him to come back.

Judging from that posture, these two people should have woken up when Xiang Ling just went out.

It's just that they didn't know Xiang Ling very well, so they pretended to be sleeping at that time and asked Bai Qiyun to see off his fellow villagers alone.

"Then let us see what you are."

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Qiyun walked to the table, picked up his backpack and shook it around.

"Hey! Stop shaking. Stop shaking. If you shake it again, you'll spit it out!"

After the backpack was tossed by the boy's hands for an unknown amount of time, a slightly immature female voice ran out from it, startling several people present.

However, Bai Qiyun didn't pay attention and still shook the backpack in his hand.

After I don’t know how long it lasted, the mysterious existence inside finally couldn’t bear it any longer. A flash of blue light flashed, and the originally strong cloth bag exploded instantly. A transparent elf floated in the air, exuding a little bit of odor.

The water elemental power that has not dissipated.

Although Bai Qiyun had never seen this thing before, a word automatically appeared in his mind at the first sight.
