Ning Zhi Shui died on the Tongtian Great Dao, just one step away from ascending to immortality.
Other great powers from noble families all used their family treasures to block the final hurdl...
Dou Ying, alive?
Everyone's first reaction was to find it ridiculous, but their bodies were honest and uncontrollably followed Ning Zhishui's gaze towards the bed.
Then, they saw Dou Ying's fingers hanging by the bed moving.
The movement was very weak and seemed a little powerless, but she was indeed moving!
"Xiaoying!"
Madam Dou exclaimed, clutching her daughter's hand tightly. "Are you okay? Open your eyes and look at your mother!"
Mrs. Dou has been crying ever since she found out her daughter had died. Her handkerchief was completely wet and her makeup was all smudged. She looked really embarrassed and rude.
But no one cared about this.
When Dou Ying reluctantly opened her eyes, she was faced with such a mother.
The Dou family was already wealthy, and after Dou Lin took the position of leader of the Chamber of Commerce four years ago, the Dou family soared to new heights, and everyone in Luoyu City knew about it.
In Dou Ying's impression, she had never seen her mother look so miserable, with red and swollen eyes and her face looked like it had been washed with water.
Her heart trembled, and she called out "Mom" with trembling lips, then opened her arms and hugged the person in front of her, crying with her.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm too willful..."
She felt like she had died once, and her state of mind was very different.
Before the accident, she struggled to break into the Black Wind Valley, but was trapped in a poison cave due to her lack of strength. When she was bitten by many poisonous insects, she thought she was going to die.
At that time, her short life flashed through her mind very quickly, and the main thought in her mind was -
If my parents knew that I was dead, how sad they would be. Would they think that they were the ones who killed me?
At that moment, she didn't even think of her lover Hou Lei.
"I was wrong. I will never leave you again... If you don't agree with me and Brother Lei, then I can stay single for the rest of my life and just stay with you."
She sobbed and hugged her mother's soft body, crying breathlessly.
Ning Zhishui: ...
She quietly looked at Hou Lei and found that he just pursed his lips, and there was no disappointment on his face.
He was just surprised and relieved by Dou Ying's "resurrection".
Everyone in the room stared at the mother and daughter hugging and crying, almost dazed.
"Xiaoying? Do you still recognize who I am?"
Dou Lin pointed at himself tentatively and looked at his daughter on the bed in confusion.
Dou Ying paused in her tears, "Daddy, why do you ask that...Are you not going to acknowledge your daughter anymore?"
She’s really my daughter!
Dou Lin was delighted, but then he felt a lump in his throat and felt like crying.
"Okay, just wake up..."
He turned his head away and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"What's going on? President..."
Liu Tai looked around in confusion, and finally asked President Meng.
President Meng was also a little confused at first, but when he thought of the pill Ning Zhishui had fed him, he roughly understood, "I guess this young man's detoxification pill took effect at the last moment."
The three members of the Dou family cried for a while and then calmed down.
"But didn't my daughter die after the 'Jue Yue'? Why did it happen..." Dou Lin asked in confusion.
"Her ultimate leap occurred before she was given the elixir, and her 'death' occurred afterward, but the three events were only a matter of time," Meng Cheng explained. "You can understand this as Miss Dou's body just reacting to her death, but at the same time, she took the life-saving elixir. While the elixir was taking effect, her body didn't react, and she continued to show signs of false death."
To put it bluntly, even though the pills were taken, the body still hasn't recovered.
But the antidote finally worked and saved his life in time. Once the poison in his body was eliminated, his life returned.
In the middle, Dou Ying seemed to have died, but in fact her body was still in the reaction period, and the antidote and toxins in her body were fighting fiercely.
After President Meng finished his explanation, Hou Lei was the first to react.
He was speechless, he just put down the sword in his hand and knelt down towards Ning Zhishui.
Dou Ying's brother followed closely behind, "Thank you for saving my sister's life!"
Mr. and Mrs. Dou also expressed their gratitude one after another. Dou Ying had just recovered and was still weak, but she also threw off the quilt, got out of bed and knelt down in front of Ning Zhishui.
"Thank you for saving my life, Dou Ying will never forget it!"
Ning Zhishui hummed, "You're welcome. I'm very pleased to have saved someone."
President Meng nodded with a smile, "You should thank her very much. If she hadn't noticed Jue Yue's reaction and given her medicine in time, Miss Dou's life would not have been saved even if she had taken a single breath that night."
After saying that, he then asked Ning Zhishui with interest, "Excuse me, young friend, where did this elixir come from? Was it made by your elders? If possible, could you recommend one or two to me?"
Ning Zhishui smiled and said, "I made this."
She discovered that she had not made many other elixirs in this life, but she had been constantly refining detoxification elixirs.
First the eldest brother was poisoned, then Hua Jiaqing.
In her previous life, Ning Zhishui had made some elixirs by herself, including a detoxification pill with stronger medicinal properties and a wider range of applications, so she took this thing out early on.
Well, I heard that Miss Dou was poisoned, so it’s just the right time to use it.
President Meng's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"What nonsense!" Liu Tai snorted coldly, "You're so young, and you dare to say you created the recipe yourself? I don't think you bought it at home, or you got it through some other means!"
After he finished speaking, Ning Zhishui was not angry at all and didn't even look at him.
With President Meng here, she doesn't need to speak in person at all.
As expected, President Meng said angrily, "How do you know this young man didn't create it? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it either!"
Who says I can’t do it!
Liu Tai's face was about to turn red. "Because that's impossible! If she can create everything herself, then at my age, I'm living a dog's life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Zhishui finally looked at him and nodded in agreement.
Yes, at your age you are living like a dog.
"Liu Tai, that's enough." Guild President Meng's patience with him had reached its limit. "As a Xuan-level alchemist, you don't even know Jue Yue, and you have no heart or tolerance! Go back now. I'll deal with you after I return to the guild."
Just because you pass the Xuan-level assessment doesn’t mean you have Xuan-level strength.
The things tested are always one-sided, but the specific ability cannot be reflected through the test. Liu Tai is already very old, but he only barely passed the Xuan level test two years ago.
This is because he is older and has some connections in his family!
But he himself seemed unaware of this, and relied on his new identity to make money everywhere.
Since the name doesn't match the reality, there's no need to keep this Xuan-level title.
President Meng's eyes swept over the two-star badge on Liu Tai's chest and he made a decision in his heart.
