Just ordinary
Bai Er felt the same way as Wu Zi, and naturally had a sense of kinship. Thinking of his brother, he asked Wu Zi, "How is my brother?"
"Oh," Wu Zi took out a storage bag containing the spiritual spring water, "You can soak in the spiritual spring water inside, you can go in and soak too."
Bai Er nodded and entered the storage bag. Wu Zi put the storage bag in Bai Er's room and then returned to the courtyard of the supervisor to wait for Xu Yi.
After a while, the supervisor came out and sighed at him: "Xu Yi will need to soak for many more days. You can go do your own thing."
"I..." Wu Zi rubbed his hair, "I don't have anything else to say..."
"Nothing to do? Then go find Yiqing. There are a lot of things to do in the workshop. Go make or repair magical artifacts. If you're really bored, go repair my books. Don't just stand here doing nothing."
Repairing magical artifacts is a very time-consuming task, requiring one to go out every day to find materials... Repairing books is even worse; those ancient books would crumble at the slightest touch, and one has to constantly protect them with magical power to painstakingly transcribe even a few words... But since the supervisor had spoken, Wu Zi had no choice but to obey, so he went to find Yi Qing to obtain the token...
Watching Wu Zi's departing figure, the supervisor sighed unconsciously. He then turned to look at the closed door and lamented, "The word 'fate' has truly ruined countless lovers throughout history..."
Since her death, Xu Yi had never experienced the feeling of having a physical body again. Although she was filled with ghostly energy and looked very much like a human, she still felt light and unreal. Now, although she was just a skeleton, she could feel the touch of a body while lying in the bathtub. Xu Yi was very happy and did not pay any attention to the situation outside the room.
He didn't even investigate why there was no ghost energy in his body, nor did he care about the absence of the black bead... He naturally accepted the result that there was no longer any ghost energy or ghost pill in his body.
After Xu Yi soaked in the medicinal bath for half a month, flesh and blood began to slowly grow on his bones. However, the flesh and blood were very unstable when they first grew. Today, only one palm had grown, but by evening, all the flesh of the palm had fallen into the bath and turned into spiritual water...
The flesh and blood on Xu Yi's body grew and fell off, falling off and growing back, repeating this cycle several times before it slowly took root in her bones, gradually becoming fuller and no longer falling off. After soaking for more than a month, it finally covered her entire body with flesh and blood, but as soon as Xu Yi moved, it all fell into the water and dissolved into spiritual water...
Sigh... Xu Yi sighed helplessly, and the long wait began again.
Wu Zi was busy making and repairing ritual implements in the workshop, and occasionally he would also repair books. Gradually, he settled down and stopped thinking about anything else, focusing solely on his work...
Ever since Bai Er entered the storage bag that day and recovered his body using the spiritual spring, he began to channel spiritual energy into Bai Da to accelerate his body's recovery. He was completely unaware of what time it had been...
All three of them entered a state of complete absorption, each walking their own path...
More than four months had passed by the time Xu Yi's flesh and blood gradually grew back to cover her entire body and stopped falling off...
Xu Yi stood in the bathtub, looking at her long-lost flesh and blood, and was really excited. She moved her hands and feet, but the flesh didn't fall off; she stomped her feet hard, but the flesh was still intact; then she jumped around in the bathtub with more force, and found that the flesh and blood were still firmly attached to the bones without loosening. Happily, she put on her clothes and ran out...
She ran into the supervisor as soon as she stepped out the door. She ran up to him in a few steps and happily twirled around: "Supervisor, my flesh has healed."
"Hmm," the supervisor stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
Xu Yi quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Supervisor. Supervisor, where is Wu Zi?"
The supervisor's eyebrows twitched, he blinked, and slowly said, "It's in the production institute. You can't go in there. Go wait in Wu Zi's room."
"Oh," Xu Yi nodded, then happily ran towards Wu Zi and Bai Er's courtyard. As soon as she entered the gate, she bumped into a wall of people...
The newcomer's muscles were so solid that the recoil knocked Xu Yi to the ground. Before Xu Yi could even look up, he quickly raised his arm to examine the flimsy flesh. When he saw that the flesh was intact on his arm, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, intending to punch the other person. But when he looked up, he saw a pair of bright, starry eyes...
"Bai Er?"
The person on the other end blinked when they heard her voice, then smiled and nodded: "It's me, Xu Yi."
"Bai Er, are you all better?" Xu Yi was very happy. She circled around Bai Er, then poked him from behind. "Are your injuries completely healed?"
A soft, tingling sensation came from behind. Bai Er quickly took two steps back and turned to look at Xu Yi again: "It's all healed, it's all healed, your flesh and blood have healed too?"
"Ah!" Xu Yi happily raised her arm and waved it in front of Bai Er's eyes: "It's all healed, and it's still quite firm."
Bai Er felt as if the arm in front of him was a ray of spring sunshine shining into his heart, and he smiled unconsciously: "Well, that's good. What were you rushing about just now?"
"Looking for you guys! I was just asking where Wu Zi was, but I didn't expect to run into you first."
"Oh, Brother Wu, you're at the manufacturing plant. Do you not know how to get there? I'll take you there."
“Okay,” Xu Yi wanted to see Wu Zi as soon as possible, so she grabbed Bai Er’s hand and walked forward. After leaving the courtyard, she turned to Bai Er and asked, “Which way?”
"Huh?" Bai Er was a little stunned. At this moment, his eyes and mind were filled with the hand that was holding him tightly. "What?"
"Tsk..." Xu Yi clicked her tongue in amusement and asked again, "Which way? To the production institute."
"Oh...oh," Bai Er recovered and, ignoring the burning sensation in his ears, pointed to the right: "This way, I'll take you there." After saying that, he took Xu Yi's hand again and led her step by step towards the manufacturing plant.
When they arrived at the entrance of the production institute, Xu Yi let go of Bai Er's hand and said very naturally, "I'll wait for you here."
Bai Er's heart skipped a beat from the emptiness in his empty hand, only to realize that Xu Yi hadn't left him because she disliked him. That void was slightly filled, and he asked Xu Yi curiously, "Why didn't you come in together?"
"Huh? Didn't the supervisor say I couldn't get in?"
"No! I went to see Brother Wu before because of my brother's matter. You can come and go freely inside, as long as you don't steal tools."
"Not stealing tools?" Xu Yi asked, puzzled. "Isn't the magical artifact more important?"
"Yes, but the people here value the tools they are comfortable using... As for magical artifacts, they can be made as long as you have the tools."
"Oh... let's go in together." Xu Yi said, then eagerly ran into the workshop. It was full of workbenches and tables, divided into different areas. There were many people, most of them focused on their work. Only a few people glanced up at the newcomers before lowering their heads again to continue their tasks...
The scene was bustling with activity; the only sounds in the yard were the whirring of various tools at work. Xu Yi was in particularly high spirits at the moment, and as she walked, she called out to Wu Zi, "Wu Zi? Wu Zi?"
After searching one area without finding Wu Zi, and then another area still without him, Xu Yi unconsciously raised her voice: "Wu~zi~"
A chorus of helpless sighs filled the air, but no one looked up to respond. Xu Yi reluctantly took two more steps inside, and was about to call out again when she saw one of the people wearing protective gear who were making the array remove his protective helmet and look at Xu Yi: "Xu Yi?"
Xu Yi was overjoyed to finally find Wu Zi and ran towards him with open arms, calling out, "Wu Zi..."
Wu Zi was even more surprised and happy than Xu Yi. Realizing what was happening, he immediately threw away his protective gear and tools, caught Xu Yi tightly in his arms, and murmured, "Xu Yi..."
Xu Yi pulled away from Wu Zi's embrace and looked at him happily: "I'm all better, Wu Zi, I'm pregnant again, hahaha..."
“Yeah, that’s right…” Wu Zi was even more impressed than Xu Yi. He had just raised his hand to tidy Xu Yi’s hair when he heard someone making magical artifacts across from them get angry. He stood up and yelled at Wu Zi and Xu Yi, “Get out.”
The person next to him quickly stood up and explained to Xu Yi and the other person, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended! This person just broke up with his girlfriend, and this place is filled with incense smoke; it's not suitable for romance!"
Wu Zi's ears turned red immediately, but Bai Er, who was following behind Xu Yi, was much more sober. He walked over and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder: "Let's talk outside. We're disturbing others here."
"Oh, oh," Xu Yi quickly nodded, then apologized to the person opposite her, "Excuse me, let's go out."
After saying that, he grabbed Wu Zi's hand and started to walk out. At this moment, the person next to where Wu Zi had been standing also took off his headgear. It turned out to be Yi Qing. Yi Qing just looked at Wu Zi and said, "Wu Zi, there are still two steps left."
"Oh, you haven't finished your work yet?" Xu Yi looked at Wu Zi and considerately let go of Wu Zi's hand: "Then Bai Er and I will wait for you outside!" After saying that, she went out with Bai Er.
Wu Zi's pounding heart miraculously calmed down. He should have gone back to complete the final two steps of creating the array, but his mind had already flown outside the courtyard with Xu Yi's skirt. So, he naturally turned around and bowed to Yi Qing, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother, but my mind has already wandered. Staying here is pointless." After saying that, he turned and followed Xu Yi out of the courtyard...
All that remained were the sighs of onlookers behind them...
Xu Yi had just stepped out of the factory gate when Wu Zi followed closely behind. Xu Yi looked at Wu Zi in surprise and asked, "So fast? Has your skill improved again?"
"Hmm," Wu Zi didn't explain further, only asking Xu Yi, "What do you want from me?"
"I just wanted to tell you I'm pregnant, haha, I didn't actually mean anything by it...hehe..."
"How about this!" Wu Zi interjected, "You're better now, and Bai Da's condition has stabilized, which is worth celebrating. Let's go to the capital together and see the sights of the city?"
"Okay, let's go," Xu Yi said happily, linking arms with Wu Zi on one arm and Bai Er on the other. "Let's go, let's go eat something delicious..."
Xu Yi's smile was so radiant that it infected the smiles on the faces of the two people beside her...
So, the three happy friends went out to enjoy the scenery together.
