"Thank you, Holy Master. I still have some Cleansing Dew here." Xiu Qiyu took out a bottle of Cleansing Dew from his spatial ring. He had obtained it during a trial, and two-thirds of it was with Xiao Yezi. He kept one-third for emergencies.

Now it has indeed come in handy.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. After all, no one can be sure when Ye Xiruo will wake up, or whether she will be safe and sound after she does."

"Thank you, Holy Master. No matter what happens to Xiao Yezi, I will stay by her side and never abandon her."

From then on, Xiu Qiyu fed Ye Xiruo a drop of Divine Cleansing Dew every day.

The soul of Ye Xiruo, which was trapped in her sea of ​​consciousness, recovered at a speed that was incomparable to before under the nourishment of the Divine Cleansing Dew.

The Cleansing Dew truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred medicine for restoring mental strength and soul.

"Congratulations, at this rate, you'll be fully awake soon."

"Countdown, how many days?"

"One week." The system continued to pour cold water on Ye Xiruo's head.

"Didn't you say I'd wake up soon?"

“I’m right, you are indeed about to wake up. Let me calculate, it was forty-five days before, then twenty days have passed, and with the help of the Cleansing Dew, seven days would be the best possible outcome, but it might take ten days.”

"You big liar!" Ye Xiruo's soul was so angry it was almost deformed.

"What are you talking about? I'm just telling the truth. This result is already very good. The thing you should do now is not to yell at me, but to quickly recover and cultivate your spiritual power. Your true essence has increased tenfold. If your spiritual power cannot control the true essence in your body well, it will affect your future cultivation."

"I understand, thank you."

"You need to seize the time to cultivate, cultivate."

"When I become an immortal, will you be able to materialize?"

"Perhaps. So much time has passed that I've forgotten what my physical form actually looks like." The system's voice was neither sad nor happy, as if it were stating something very ordinary.

However, Ye Xiruo could sense from it the deep damage that the long period of time had caused to the system, even erasing its memories. Did its original form still exist? Ye Xiruo couldn't help but have some doubts.

Even though the system's memories have been erased, it still remembers its mission: to pass on the space and revive the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus.

If I hadn't met her, the system might have truly vanished into the long river of time. Once I've succeeded in my cultivation again, I must help the system rebuild its body.

Lost memories are lost forever; the focus should be on the future.

"System, thank you."

Thank you for letting me be reborn in the Taiyan Continent. Thank you for giving me the space. Thank you for giving me the inherited cultivation technique. Without the system, Ye Xiruo doesn't know what she would have become.

I guess in Liujia Village, like most people, I'm busy making a living every day. I might get eaten by wild animals on the back mountain or killed by cultivators one day. Thank you so much, system.

Xiao Yezi was still unconscious. The Holy Master said her soul was repairing itself, and no one could be sure how long or short it would take. But one thing was certain: her life was absolutely safe.

Even with the Holy Master's assurance, Xue Junhan and Xiu Qiyu were not completely at ease. Even though Xiao Yezi had survived, she had become a living dead, an outcome they found even more unbearable than death itself.

Time passed slowly, and Hua Rong and the others would come every few days, bringing Ye Xiruo many new little trinkets each time.

Some of the items were novel little toys they found on their way down the mountain, while others were local delicacies—sweet, salty, spicy, and everything in between. There were also ingredients and seasonings they had collected.

Each time, they hoped that Ye Xiruo would wake up and eat the delicious food they brought, but each time they were disappointed.

Ye Xiruo lay quietly in bed, showing no sign of waking up.

In the end, I could only put everything into the spatial ring. Little Leaf will definitely be able to see it, she definitely will.

Xiu Qiyu's mood had calmed down. The worst situation couldn't be worse. If Xiao Yezi really couldn't wake up, he would take her away from here. No one in the human realm could save her, so they would go to the immortal realm.

He could put aside his deep-seated hatred and stay by Ye Xiruo's side forever.

Xue Junhan never appeared before Xiu Qiyu, spending his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol on Lingyun Peak.

That day, after Xiu Qiyu finished practicing his sword, he returned to Ye Xiruo's side and cut a plate of white jade peaches.

"Little Leaf, I cut up your favorite peach. Get up and try it. Does it taste the same as before?"

"good--"

Xiu Qiyu paused for a moment, the sharp sword energy directly slashing his hand, and blood immediately stained it red. However, Xiu Qiyu himself was completely unaware of it.

The sound he just heard must not have been a hallucination; Xiao Yezi really had woken up.

"Little Leaf, is that you? You're finally awake?"

But when she turned to look at Ye Xiruo, she found that Xiao Yezi still had her eyes closed, just like usual.

His initial joy instantly turned into desolation; it turned out to be nothing but an illusion. Xiu Qiyu felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

"It's alright, the peach is already dirty anyway. Let's wait until next time when I cut it nicely and eat it." Xiu Qiyu threw away the white jade peach in her hand.

"Fool."

This time, it must not be his hallucination. Xiu Qiyu immediately turned around and saw the familiar sly smile on Ye Xiruo's incredibly familiar face.

"You can even hurt yourself while cutting a peach, you're so clumsy." Ye Xiruo pulled Xiu Qiyu's hand, and the wood-attribute Qingyang True Qi surged out, instantly healing the deep wound on Xiu Qiyu's hand.

"I'm fine."

Xiu Qiyu hugged Ye Xiruo tightly: "You've finally woken up, that's wonderful, wonderful."

"Foolish Brother Xiu Qi, with the power of the contract, you're fine, so I'm sure I won't be in any danger. This was an accident, and I didn't expect my bloodline to awaken so suddenly."

"In the future, if anything happens, don't always rush to the front; it's dangerous."

"I know, I think I'm already at the Mahayana stage." He's only one small realm apart from Xiu Qiyu.

Xiu Qiyu gave a wry smile: "Congratulations on Xiao Yezi's great improvement in skill." If possible, he would rather Xiao Yezi's bloodline never awakened than see Xiao Yezi lying in bed for so long.

"Brother Xiuqi, it won't happen again. I'm sorry for making you worry."
