Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 154 Time flies
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring goes and autumn comes...

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Panda Tuan Tuan and Tibetan Mastiff Duo Qi have grown up through their fights, eating well and living comfortably. The two of them are almost as big as An Zhi.

In that same quiet bamboo forest, Shen Anzhi was practicing the Splitting Light Demon-Slaying Sword with complete concentration.

The sword in her hand gleamed with a chilling light under the sunlight. As she unleashed her moves, sword shadows, like nimble silver snakes, darted through the bamboo forest, causing bamboo leaves to flutter and fall, lifted by the sword energy.

After two years of practice, Anzhi has fully mastered the essence of the Splitting Light Demon-Slaying Sword, the Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill, the Ice Soul Demon-Sealing Array, and the Illusionary Eight Trigrams Array, and can even seamlessly combine them.

She stood in a clearing in the bamboo forest, closed her eyes, slowly adjusted her breathing, gradually calmed her mind, and cleared away all distracting thoughts, as if the whole world consisted only of him and this bamboo forest.

Once her mind was as clear as still water, Shen Anzhi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze revealing a resolute and focused intensity. She slowly drew her sword from its sheath, and as it was drawn, it emitted a clear, ringing sound, its blade gleaming with a chilling light…

Not far away at Qingzhu Xiaozhu, Tuantuan and Duoqi, who have grown up, are still round and fluffy, but now they are more robust and agile. However, their temperamental and impulsive nature remains unchanged.

For some unknown reason, Tuantuan and Duoqi started arguing again, glaring at each other with unyielding expressions.

Before Lingjizi could react, they pounced on each other like two angry little beasts. In an instant, dust flew up around the bamboo house, and bamboo leaves fluttered down as if a rain of leaves had fallen.

Completely unaware, they were witnessing a fierce struggle drawing ever closer to Anzhi's beloved bamboo house. They wrestled and thrashed about, their bodies colliding and colliding...

As the fight intensified, the bamboo house began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the walls. However, Tuanzi and Duoqi, immersed in anger and struggle, continued to attack each other.

Finally, with a heart-wrenching "crash," one wall of the bamboo house could no longer bear the weight and collapsed completely. The pillars broke, and the once cozy bamboo house was instantly reduced to a pile of messy broken wood and bamboo.

An Zhi, who was practicing the Dividing Light Demon-Slaying Sword, was stunned, his face filled with astonishment and helplessness, as he watched helplessly as Tuan Tuan chased Duo Qi recklessly through the bamboo forest...

"Stop right there, you idiot..."

"Come on then, you idiot who only knows how to eat bamboo."

Tuan Tuan and Duo Qi were completely unaware that An Zhi in the bamboo forest had changed his expression, and they continued to do as they pleased.

Seeing that Anzhi's face had turned green with anger, Lingjizi, who had just stepped out of the bamboo house, frowned slightly, then walked to the ruins with a normal expression, shook his head and said, "Hehe, these two guys are really a handful."

After saying that, he first closed his eyes, as if sketching the original appearance of the bamboo house in his mind. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his hands began to form hand seals quickly, and he chanted the obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.

As the incantation resounded, a mysterious power seemed to surge in the surrounding air. The bamboo stalks scattered on the ground appeared to be summoned, slowly floating up and flying one by one to their designated positions. The broken pieces miraculously healed under the infusion of Lingjizi's magical power.

“Senior Lingjizi, I think you’ve spoiled these two guys too much these past two years. How can you tolerate this?” Anzhi put down his sword, then squatted down to clean up the mess.

Lingjizi smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded: "Hehe, they're still children."

After saying that, Lingjizi ignored Anzhi's complaints and continued to concentrate on the bamboo splicing and assembly in an orderly manner, just like a skilled craftsman carefully carving a work of art.

As time passed, the outline of the bamboo house gradually became clear. The walls were rebuilt, and the roof was slowly laid. Before long, a brand-new and more sturdy-looking bamboo house appeared before them. "You two, come here!" Anzhi grabbed a bamboo stick and chopped at the thick skin of the bamboo.

Anzhi's fierce appearance finally intimidated Tuantuan and Duoqi, who stared at the bamboo house they had destroyed and then rebuilt.

Looking at the two grown-up but still so reckless guys in front of her, Anzhi decided to teach them a lesson. She first crossed her arms with a serious expression, scanning them back and forth with her eyes full of seriousness and reproach, which made Tuanzi and Duoqi, who had been holding their heads high, gradually lower their heads and dare not meet Anzhi's gaze.

"Have I told you two countless times, no fighting, no fighting..."

"Look at you all, eating and drinking well every day, and you're all bigger than me..."

……

Anzhi spoke earnestly, every word revealing his concern and expectations for Tuanzi and Duoqi, and the two of them occasionally responded with low murmurs.

Seeing this, Lingjizi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened. He knew that these two were just like that, but Anzhi's earnest teaching was good in the end, at least it could make them behave a little.

After Anzhi finished speaking, Tuanzi and Duoqi obediently echoed him. Lingjizi then slowly turned around and walked towards the path in the bamboo forest.

As he was leaving, Lingjizi turned back to look at where Anzhi and the others had been, a smile still lingering in his eyes.

……

After educating Tuantuan and Duoqi, Anzhi returned to the bamboo forest.

But as soon as he arrived at the place where he cultivated every day, he saw Lingjizi standing quietly not far in front of him. Just a moment ago, his face had been full of wisdom and composure, but now it was full of worry.

An Zhi's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward, asking softly, "Senior Lingjizi, what's wrong...?"

When Lingjizi heard Anzhi's voice, he slowly turned around. When he saw that it was Anzhi, he nodded slightly, but his brows were still furrowed and his eyes showed undisguised worry.

“Anzhi, the two little divine beasts have grown up. What are your thoughts?” Lingjizi spoke first, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness.

Upon hearing this, An Zhi's barely maintained composure vanished instantly. He gave a wry smile and said, "Senior, are you referring to the three-year agreement? I can sense it."

Lingjizi sighed softly, looked up at the towering bamboo, as if trying to find some solace in the tranquility of the bamboo forest, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"This is the first time I've shouldered such a great mission, the first time I've had to fight against demonic soldiers." Although Lingjizi was a master of the Bamboo Sea, he had never actually fought against demonic soldiers before, and as the time drew closer, he felt uncertain.

Anzhi gripped his sword tightly and asked, "Senior, what is the situation outside?"

Anzhi was also very curious. He had been in the bamboo forest for more than two years and only knew that the demon soldiers were about to attack Mount Shu...
