"Damn it, my mystical origin has been scattered. I have divine power but I can't use it. Without divine power, divine arts can't be used. Am I destined to rely on my physical body to prove my Dao?" Ye Qinghan leaned against the bed and looked out the window dispiritedly. He had painstakingly forged the Nine Revolution Chaotic Dao Body, but he couldn't even use the most basic origin body.
Bai Xiaosheng's injuries were much more serious than Ye Qinghan's. If not for the miracle doctor and the pure sunlight element, no one would have been able to save her.
Not long after, the old man brought a bowl of medicine and placed it in Ye Qinghan's hands. He said calmly, "Feed her. She'll be fine in a while."
Ye Qinghan took the medicine and said hoarsely, "Thank you, senior, for your righteousness. I will definitely repay you tenfold!"
"Do you understand the price you paid now? Do you regret it now? I only need you to tell me the answer. That will be your repayment. "The old man stared at Ye Qinghan, hoping that he would answer his question seriously.
Ye Qinghan shook his head and said, "I don't regret it!"
"Back then, I made the opposite decision. Now, I regret it. That's why I'm willing to save her. Even though you only have three years, I've done my best. Stay here for the next three years. This is a sacred land. It's fate that brought you here." With that, the old man turned and left, leaving Ye Qinghan with a sorrowful back.
...
Time flowed like water. Ye Qinghan was powerless to reverse the situation. He couldn't use the mystical origin and divine power. He could only rely on his physical body to slowly recover.
The next day, Bai Xiaosheng woke up from her coma. The old man's medical skills were indeed superb. He could bring the dead back to life. Even though it was only three years of life, it was still beyond everyone's comprehension.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at his eyes in confusion and saw Ye Qinghan standing outside the window. Against the mountains and rivers, he looked magnificent. He murmured hoarsely, "So hell isn't as scary as I thought …"
Ye Qinghan hurriedly turned around and helped Bai Xiaosheng up. He helped her out of the window and looked at the pear blossoms around them. He explained in a hoarse voice, "You're not dead yet, and neither am I. It's just that … your life force is dissipating a hundred thousand times faster than a normal person's …"
"I thought I was dead for sure. It would be good if I could live for another two or three years." Bai Xiaosheng was shocked. There was a trace of reluctance and sadness in his eyes, but he hid it well.
"You're really stupid. Why did you block that sword? I lied to you for so long. I was just using you. Is there something wrong with your brain? " Ye Qinghan's heart was filled with anger. He had used a woman's life in exchange for his own and was unable to repay the debt. This sort of guilt was even worse than being heavily injured.
"You're the one with a hole in your head! You're my disciple, and I'm your master. How could I not save you? " Bai Xiaosheng grinned. Her smile was particularly sad. She knew that she was going to die, so there was no need to add more emotional burdens to Ye Qinghan. Therefore, she chose to avoid her feelings.
"Idiot!" Ye Qinghan sighed. He hated this kind of stupid woman.
"You're the idiot! Damned Asura King. I was fooled by you the first time, and the second time. How are you going to compensate me? "Bai Xiaosheng pretended to be angry.
Ye Qinghan suddenly remembered Bai Xiaosheng's silly look when they first met. He couldn't help but smile.
"What kind of compensation do you want? The stars in the sky, the dragons in the sea? " Ye Qinghan clenched his fists. As long as Bai Xiaosheng told him her wish today, he would use the next three years to fulfill it for her.
Bai Xiaosheng raised her pale face and stared at his determined expression. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you promise me anything I want?"
Ye Qinghan nodded.
"I want you … to not take revenge on my father, not to vent your anger on my family, and not to destroy my sect …" Bai Xiaosheng said very seriously.
Ye Qinghan frowned and reprimanded coldly, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Does he treat you as his daughter? "
"I don't want to argue with you. Regardless of whether he treats me as his daughter or not, he is my father, my brother, my family, and the elders in my sect all take good care of me. I don't want them to go against you in the future, and I don't want you to be mortal enemies. You can establish the Asura Sect and hide the Crazy Sect behind you. This shows that you are ambitious and have a plan. I'm worried that you will destroy the Unifying Sect. Just treat it as appeasing my dying soul. Promise me, don't do anything to the Bai family, the Unifying Sect, or the Unifying Sect, and don't take revenge on my father, okay?" Bai Xiaosheng asked expectantly.
Ye Qinghan took a deep breath and finally nodded, agreeing to Bai Xiaosheng's request.
The white-haired old man did not appear. Ye Qinghan brought Bai Xiaosheng to the lake and strolled along the pear blossom forest. The two did not speak. They both knew what was going on, but neither was willing to say it out loud.
Bai Xiaosheng's aging speed was faster than the old man had predicted. In just a day, her face had matured.
The two walked slowly. The pear blossoms danced in the air, as if snow had fallen, landing on their shoulders and hair.
"Does this count as our hair turning white together? Hahaha … "Bai Xiaosheng pinched a few pear blossoms with her jade-like hands and laughed.
"Yes." Ye Qinghan replied without hesitation.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled. She smiled very happily.
One day, two days, three days …
Every day was the same. Sometimes, the old man would stand on the pontoon bridge and look at the two of them. His eyes were filled with regret, self-blame, and other emotions that the world did not understand.
By the second year, Bai Xiaosheng's hair had turned white, and his skin had begun to wrinkle. It was still the same season, but things had changed. Ye Qinghan took the initiative to hold her arm and helped her wander around Liquan Prefecture. The people of Liquan Prefecture recognized the two of them and often sent them small art sculptures. There were sculptures of two people holding hands, and there were also sculptures of two people sitting under a pear tree. Every sculpture was perfect to the extreme, and the craftsmanship was uncanny.
By the end of the second year, Bai Xiaosheng was so old that her hair was as white as snow, without a trace of black. Her skin was completely wrinkled. She was so old that she could not even walk. Ye Qinghan brought her to a carving shop.
Ye Qinghan began to learn carving. He carved Bai Xiaosheng's changes in the past three years. It was the first time he saw Bai Xiaosheng's appearance.
Ye Qinghan studied diligently. Gradually, he carved out Bai Xiaosheng's' spirit 'and soul, as if it was coming to life.
Ye Qinghan's mentality slowly changed. His impetuous heart finally calmed down. Day after day, he carved Bai Xiaosheng's appearance. Bai Xiaosheng just sat there quietly.
There was only half a month left before the end of her life. Ye Qinghan's carving was just like Bai Xiaosheng's reappearance.
"These three years have been the happiest time of my life! Thank you. "Bai Xiaosheng said happily.
Ye Qinghan looked at Bai Xiaosheng's aged face. His nose turned sour and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
"I'm sorry. I still haven't found a way to preserve your life …" Ye Qinghan said softly.
"No, I don't need it. I like this kind of mortal life. If I don't die, you might not even be alive. Your survival has made me experience happiness. It's the kind of happiness that comes from the bottom of my heart. It's a happiness that many people can't experience even after living for tens of thousands or even millions of years. I've felt it, and I'm living a better life than them." Bai Xiaosheng said seriously.
Ye Qinghan was silent. He felt ashamed to face this girl who was as pure as a piece of white paper.
"I don't fight for eternity, I fight for every moment." Bai Xiaosheng looked at her own carving. Her eyes were filled with sadness and reluctance. She had completely fallen in love with the feeling of being protected. It wasn't that she didn't want to fight for eternity, but she didn't have the ability to fight for it. Every moment was enough.
