The green figure remained silent, simply standing quietly on the newly sprouted grass.

She slowly extended her jade-white right hand, and on her fingertips, a few tender willow leaves and delicate flower petals seemed to come alive, twirling lightly and emitting a halo of emerald green and crimson.

The light fell like spring rain, silently merging into those withered and emaciated bodies.

Those bodies, like seedlings that have been parched and then given a good rain, quickly became plump and regained their appearance before they were alive.

After a short while, those people slowly opened their eyes and looked around in confusion.

"I...I'm still alive?"

"Where am I? I wasn't possessed by that evil spirit..."

The woman who had previously exhausted herself drawing talismans with blood struggled to open her heavy eyelids.

In the blurred vision, only a green figure could be caught, sacred and compassionate.

She instinctively tried to struggle to her feet to bow, but found herself too weak to do so.

Yu Luo seemed to sense something and glanced at her lightly.

In an instant, dozens of blue-feathered birds circling in the air let out a joyful chirp.

They fluttered down, their beaks filled with specks of emerald light, and gently pecked at the newly recovered villagers and the plague survivors.

A gentle warmth, accompanied by the healing power of the Green-Ploughing Bird, flowed into their limbs and bones, quickly dispelling their weakness and discomfort.

A group of people subconsciously looked at their hands and were pleasantly surprised to find that all the rashes had disappeared.

"We...we're cured too!" Someone cried with joy, their voice choked with emotion.

Although Lin Chan was young, she understood what had happened.

She ran to the woman, grabbed her hand, and exclaimed happily, "Auntie, it was the Mountain Goddess who saved you! She saved everyone!"

The remaining surviving civilians and believers were so excited that they bowed again and shouted.

"A miracle! This is a true miracle!"

"Thank you so much, Goddess Mountain God! Thank you for saving my life!"

Yu Luo nodded slightly, turned around, and like the softest willow catkin, quietly drifted towards the golden door that still shone with sacred light.

Only a faint, lingering fragrance of grass and trees remained, permeating everyone's hearts.

As soon as Yu Luo stepped through the golden gate, the divine light and magnificent robes around her vanished instantly.

She transformed into a woman with ordinary features, dressed in coarse cloth.

With a thought, ripples appeared in the void before her once more, and another rather simple-looking door of light quietly opened.

Behind the door lay the familiar yet somewhat grim scene of Black Wind Mountain.

Black Wind Mountain has changed drastically in appearance.

Along the mountain path, believers dressed in uniform indigo clothing could be seen hurrying along, setting up rows of simple yet tidy isolation barracks.

The air was filled with a faint smell of herbs and disinfectant.

Yu Luo's gaze fell on a corner of a barracks.

There, several children, who looked to be only five or six years old, were huddled together, shivering.

His face was pale and his lips were cracked; he had clearly also contracted the plague.

A thin little girl said weakly, "Ergou, I... I think I'm going to die..."

"After I die, you...you help me..."

"Give my mother the piece of malt candy I hid under my pillow..."

A slightly older boy next to them sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Cuicui, don't talk nonsense! The Mountain Goddess will protect us, we'll all be alright!"

Even so, the fear in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Another little boy sobbed softly, "I want to go home, I miss my dad and my mom..."

Seeing this, Yu Luo slowly walked over.

"Don't come any closer! Big sister, go away! We... we have a plague, it will infect you!" The little boy named Er Gou shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw Yu Luo approaching.

The other children also looked up and waved to her.

Yu Luo smiled gently, her voice as soft as a spring breeze: "Don't be afraid, I have something good for you."

She opened her palm, and there lay several crystal-clear candies, like glass beads, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

These candies were all wrapped in willow leaves, making them look incredibly delicate.

The children had never seen such beautiful candies before, and they were all stunned, temporarily forgetting their pain.

"Is this...is this for us?" Cui'er asked timidly, her eyes shining with longing.

Yu Luo nodded: "Yes, one for each person, and they'll be cured after taking it."

Er Gou was somewhat skeptical, but the sweet aroma of the candy was so tempting that he swallowed hard and reached out his little hand.

"Thank you, thank you, big sister..." They reached out their little hands and carefully accepted the candy, as if holding a priceless treasure.

Yu Luo watched with a smile as they put the candy into their mouths, a sweet, satisfied smile appearing on their innocent faces.

She didn't linger and quietly left.

A moment after she left.

"Mmm, so sweet..." Cui'er smacked her lips, and a hint of color returned to her face.

"Huh? Cui'er, your face doesn't seem so hot anymore!" Er Gou touched Cui'er's forehead in surprise.

"Ergou, I feel warm all over, and it seems like I don't feel uncomfortable anymore!" Another little boy who had been sobbing earlier also widened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body.

The children looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

The chill gradually dissipated from their bodies, replaced by a comfortable warmth that made even their breathing much easier.
