"Nan 'er, how long have I been unconscious?"
"Ugh … It's been two years. It's been a long time, but Master hasn't woken up." Nan 'er said, feeling wronged. There was a voice in her heart that kept telling her that only her Master had a way to get her out of the sword. If he died, he would be trapped in the sword forever. So, for the past two years, she had been living in fear every single day.
Two years!?
Ye Wuchen's breathing stopped, and his body suddenly stiffened. He never would have thought that after returning from the abyss of death, it would already be the turn of spring and autumn. In two years' time, the outside world would definitely have changed. This was the bottom of the Lost Soul Abyss, a mysterious, lonely, and strange world. The delicate and weak Ningxue had actually stayed in such a place, taking care of him, and spent two whole years.
In these two years, she had endured loneliness and fear, and bitterly waited for him to wake up every day … Ye Wuchen's heart became very, very sour. He didn't know how this girl, who usually didn't know how to do anything and relied on him for everything, managed to survive.
"Xue 'er, I will never let you be hurt again. Never again." He stared at her as he repeated those words in his heart.
When he fell into the Broken Soul Abyss, his internal injuries were so severe that an ordinary person would die immediately. But now that his body was weak and powerless, he didn't feel any pain. He believed that his internal injuries had completely healed. Otherwise, with such severe injuries, he wouldn't have been able to survive for two years without dying.
But … what was it that allowed his internal injuries to heal, and allowed him to not die for two whole years?
Was it the power of the Wuchen Technique? No, it wasn't … He lay quietly, but he couldn't feel the presence of any spiritual energy or the influx of it. His body didn't have any strength, and he could no longer absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When he ate the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit, burning all his potential and exhausting all his strength, he already had this realization. It was just like a blade of grass. As long as the conditions were right, no matter how many times its body was cut off, as long as there were still some roots, it would be able to grow again. However, if even its roots were completely gone, it would never be able to grow again.
The Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit had burned up all of his potential, and all of this potential had been completely converted into wind elemental energy as he fell. The moment he rescued Ningxue, he had completely exhausted all of it, leaving not a trace behind.
Even if he recovered now, he would still be a normal person without any power.
"What saved me, Nan 'er, do you know?" Ye Wuchen asked weakly.
"I know, I know." Nan'er quickly replied. She couldn't wait to tell him about this discovery. "It's the power of life. After the master fainted, some life force would often enter his body. That was how it was. If it weren't for this life force, Master would've … would've … "
"Life Force?"
The three great elements of fate: Life, Death, and Life Force in the soul was the greatest and most gentle elemental power. It was the opposite of the element of death, and could drive away death and give life to living things. Apart from eliminating death, the power of life had no offensive ability, but its healing ability was far beyond the power of light. Legend had it that when the power of life reached a certain level, it could even bring the dead back to life.
"Where did it come from?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"I don't know either. After the master fainted, my eyes have always been dark, and I can't see anything. However, this power of life doesn't always exist. It only appears occasionally. Sometimes several times a day, and sometimes once every few days. I don't know where it came from. "Nan'er answered in confusion.
"Brother … Brother …"
Ningxue, who had lost consciousness from crying, murmured softly. As if she was dreaming of something, she clenched her fists and opened her misty eyes to meet Ye Wuchen's.
"Cher …" The corner of Ye Wuchen's mouth moved slightly, and he said softly. His voice was dry and weak, and a light breeze was enough to blow it away.
The crying seemed to have drained all the strength in Ningxue's body. She opened her eyes, and what she was most afraid of was that it was just a dream. When she woke up, everything would disappear. Opening her eyes, she looked at her brother's face, and smiled foolishly. Then, she nestled her head in his chest, and smiled while crying, "Brother, I knew that you would wake up soon …"
Ye Wuchen wanted to raise his hand to touch her countless times, but his body wouldn't listen to him. After trying so hard, he felt a strong dizziness in his body. He was afraid that he would lose consciousness again, so he could only give up. In his mind, he recalled every moment when he held her in his arms, and he smiled, "How could I bear to leave Cher behind?"
In the past two years, the Ningxue in front of him hadn't changed at all, and there were no signs of her growing up.
"En … Brother, you're finally awake. That's great, that's great. Brother, let's never be separated again, okay? "Ningxue said in a daze, and she couldn't stop her tears. Her hand had been holding onto his clothes tightly, for fear that once she let go, the dreamy happiness in front of her would disappear.
"Okay … How could I bear to be separated from Cher … Cher, you must have suffered." He said with heartache.
Ningxue shook her head hard, "It's not bitter, not bitter at all. As long as brother gets better, I will never feel bitter."
When these words came out of her mouth, there was not a trace of falsehood. Her swaying misty eyes were filled with too many things that made Ye Wuchen's heart ache and moved. He opened his mouth and said, "I want to drink water."
People who were extremely weak, and their physiological functions were almost completely paralyzed, would instinctively want to drink water. Ningxue hurriedly responded, grabbed the lotus leaf that hadn't been used up, and ran to the familiar stream not far away. The source of the stream was unknown, but it was incomparably clear.
Because she ran too fast, and because her body was sore and weak from crying, Ningxue suddenly fell to the ground. She immediately stood up, walked quickly to the stream, and used the lotus leaf to slowly scoop up the stream water. Then, she turned around, smiled sweetly at him, and carefully walked back with the lotus leaf. As she walked, the sparkling tears on her face quietly fell from time to time, falling into the stream water on the lotus leaf.
"Brother, drink water." Ningxue squatted beside him, touched a corner of the lotus leaf to his mouth, and tilted her hand slightly, watching the clear water flow into his mouth. Seeing him wake up, this kind of happiness was so real, and all the pain in her heart just disappeared like smoke. She seemed to see that all the suffering had left them, as if the dark clouds had been pushed aside, and she could see the light of day again. After losing him, she understood even more that just looking at him like this, talking to him, was a great kind of happiness.
Falling from the top of the Lost Abyss, and probably would never be able to go back up again, but Ningxue didn't have the slightest fear or regret. Seeing him slowly get better, and then the two of them, living a carefree life in this world that only belonged to them, this was the happiness that she had only dreamed of for the past two years.
The cool water entered his mouth, and flowed along his throat into his body. Slowly, the cool water brought him a kind of comfortable warmth. This kind of warm feeling began to spread from his body, all the way to his five viscera and six bowels, all the way to his limbs, and even his originally muddled mind gradually became clear.
"It's this! It's this! This is the power that saved Master! "Nan 'er suddenly cried out. Because at this time, what was flowing into Ye Wuchen's body was the life force that saved his life bit by bit in the past two years. What she could see, was only what Ye Wuchen could see. During the period when Ye Wuchen was unconscious, Nan 'er's world was dark. At this moment, she finally knew the source of the mysterious life force — — the stream water in Ningxue's hands.
Ye Wuchen quietly drank the water, felt the subtle changes in his body for a while, and then said, "Cher, I want to drink more."
"En!" Ningxue nodded hard, and hurriedly used her sleeves to wipe away the remaining tears on her face. Once again, she quickly turned around and ran to the stream, and then came back holding the water, and carefully fed it to him.
This time, there was only the taste of water.
After drinking the water, Ye Wuchen gently breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body felt much more comfortable. In his mind, Nan 'er's puzzled voice sounded, "Huh? So strange, there was still water just now, there must be no mistake, why not this time? So strange, so strange … "
"It's not water." Ye Wuchen replied with his mind, "It's Cher's tears."
"Ah?"
Nan 'er had told him that the mysterious life force would come several times a day, and sometimes once every few days. He knew that this power couldn't come from the water. Because Ningxue, who was completely tied to him, couldn't possibly only give him water once every few days. And the only difference between the two times was … … the first time, her tears splashed in.
For two years, the uninterrupted life force also meant that every time she faced him and fed him water, she would quietly cry for two years … … Sometimes, her tears would accidentally fall into the water, saving his life.
She was like a little angel that the heavens had given her, pulling him back from the edge of death time and time again. The first time, in order to save him, she stole a Heavenly Beast's egg and used the Innate Spirit to help him break through to the second level of the Chaos Arts and escape the disaster. Again, she didn't leave him, and anxiously took care of him for two years, using her tears to save him from the abyss of death again.
She was originally an angel. At the end of her life, the Extreme Flame Heavenly Dragon passed on to the "God Envoy of Life and Light" in his heart from a long distance away.
Xue 'er, what I owe you, I will never be able to repay you in this life. The only thing I can do is to keep you by my side forever. Even if I lose all the power to protect you, I won't let anyone hurt you … …
"Brother, are you still thirsty?" Ningxue put down the lotus leaf, and looked at him with her bright eyes. Just looking at him like this made her feel very satisfied.
His body regained some sensation, and his strength seemed to have recovered a little. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he revealed a gentle smile, "I'm not thirsty anymore."
