"Master, how is Wan'er?"
With red-rimmed eyes, Lu Ziling looked at Ning Wan'er on the bed and asked in a trembling voice.
"He's still breathing."
You Rongqingxian's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she spoke with relief, saying that Ning Wan'er had sealed all her spiritual power with a spirit-sealing talisman. Although she had delayed the suffocation time by relying on her own physical strength, she had only lasted a little longer than an ordinary person without cultivation. The reason she was able to keep a breath was not because she was rescued in time, but because a special energy protected Ning Wan'er's heart meridian at the moment of death, which saved Ning Wan'er's life.
"How can this girl be so silly..."
Rong Qingxian felt sorry for Ning Wan'er and shed tears. That special energy did not belong to Ning Wan'er herself. Although she did not know where it came from, if it were not for this special energy protecting Ning Wan'er's heart meridian, Ning Wan'er would really have lost her life.
"It's my fault that she's in this situation..."
Chi Yuan's eyes revealed regret. He had never intended to force Ning Wan'er to her death, but his actions had pushed her into the abyss. He had truly underestimated his importance in Ning Wan'er's heart.
At this moment, You Rong Qingxian took out a bottle of jade liquid and introduced it into Ning Wan'er's mouth. She then carefully introduced the liquid into Ning Wan'er's body. After a while, as the medicinal power dissipated and the spiritual energy within her body circulated autonomously, Ning Wan'er's internal organs began to gradually recover their functions, and her vitality quickly returned.
"That's wonderful! Wan'er is alive!"
Feeling Ning Wan'er's renewed vitality, Lu Ziling was so excited that she cried tears of joy.
A look of joy appeared on Chi Yuan's face as he looked at Ning Wan'er with gentle eyes.
"Um……"
A short while later, Ning Wan'er let out a soft moan, and then slowly opened her eyes.
"Wan'er, you're awake."
You Rongqingxian spoke softly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Ning Wan'er looked at Rong Qingxian's familiar face, but her eyes dimmed, and she turned her head away without saying a word.
You Rong Qingxian knew that to truly save Ning Wan'er, she had to heal her heartache, so she quickly said, "Wan'er, don't do anything foolish again. Look, your senior brother has come to see you."
Senior brother?
Upon hearing the sound, Ning Wan'er subconsciously turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Chi Yuan's figure next to You Rong Qingxian. A glimmer of light immediately appeared in her eyes.
"Senior brother, is it really you?"
Ning Wan'er raised her hand and reached out towards Chi Yuan.
"Wan'er, it's me."
Chi Yuan smiled gently and reached out to take Ning Wan'er's small hand.
However, just as their hands were about to touch, Ning Wan'er hurriedly pulled her hand back, muttering, "It must be another hallucination. Why would Senior Brother come to see me? I must be dreaming again. I can't touch Senior Brother, or he will disappear again."
Chi Yuan felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this. He sat down by the bed, took Ning Wan'er's small hand, and said, "Wan'er, this is not an illusion, it really is me."
Feeling the warmth from her hand, Ning Wan'er trembled, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she stared blankly at Chi Yuan: "Senior brother, it really is you? You don't blame Wan'er anymore?"
Chi Yuan gently helped Ning Wan'er up, held her in his arms, and stroked her face softly, saying, "Senior brother doesn't blame you anymore, he won't blame you anymore. From now on, you must listen to your senior brother and not do such foolish things again."
Ning Wan'er's dull eyes gradually brightened, and two lines of joyful tears streamed down her face. She suddenly hugged Chi Yuan's body, buried her face in his chest, and said in a soft voice, "Wan'er will listen to whatever Senior Brother says!"
Chi Yuan felt a warmth in his heart as he gently stroked her cloud-like hair, and for a moment he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was in the Divine Firmament Sect.
Seeing this, a relieved smile appeared on Rong Qingxian's beautiful face. She turned around and gave Lu Ziling and the others a wink, then quietly left the room with her disciples.
"Senior brother, Wan'er really didn't mean to harm you back then."
"Senior brother knows."
"Do you believe me now, senior brother?"
"Yes, I believe in you."
"Senior brother, is Wan'er dreaming...? Why does it feel so unreal?"
"Does Senior Brother feel like this is all unreal?"
Ning Wan'er suddenly sat up straight, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Chi Yuan and said, "Senior brother, take Wan'er with you, and I'll give you anything!"
Chi Yuan paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Wan'er, this is a major life event, not something to be taken lightly. Even if your senior brother is willing to accept you, you should give him some time to process it. It's too casual to just accept it like that."
"But... Wan'er is afraid that her senior brother will abandon her again..."
Ning Wan'er lowered her head, looking bewildered and uneasy.
Chi Yuan's gaze struggled for a moment, then his brows relaxed, and he pulled Ning Wan'er into his arms, gently lifting her snow-white chin with his hand.
"Senior brother..."
Ning Wan'er's eyes sparkled as she gazed intently at Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan's eyes shone with tenderness, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, saying, "Senior brother will not abandon you, because you belong to senior brother."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan lowered his head and slowly pressed his lips to Ning Wan'er's cherry lips.
Ning Wan'er's beautiful eyes widened instantly, tears of happiness welling up within them. She then closed her eyes and gently opened her lips to respond.
After a while.
Chi Yuan released Ning Wan'er, looked at her flushed face, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Are you still worried that your senior brother won't want you anymore?"
Ning Wan'er gently shook her head, her gaze fixed on Chi Yuan without wavering, her eyes filled with tenderness and infatuation. Although Chi Yuan hadn't taken her, he had already declared his ownership of her. In her heart, she already belonged to Chi Yuan.
Although she didn't know what status she would have by Chi Yuan's side in the future, she didn't care. As long as she was her senior brother's, that was enough. Whether she was a wife, a concubine, or a maid, it didn't make much difference to her.
"Senior brother, please take me with you."
Ning Wan'er said expectantly, "I don't care where I go, I don't mind wandering the world, as long as I can stay by my senior brother's side, Wan'er is willing to go anywhere!"
"Are you willing to leave your master and senior sisters?"
Chi Yuan asked softly.
“I’m reluctant to part with her… but Wan’er belongs to my senior brother, so she should go with him. I think my master and senior sisters will also bless Wan’er.”
A hint of reluctance flashed in Ning Wan'er's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Then I'll take you to the Moon Reflection Sect."
Chi Yuan stroked Ning Wan'er's cloud-like hair.
"Um!"
Ning Wan'er nodded obediently, then asked expectantly, "Senior brother, we haven't gone out to play together in a long time. Can you take me to the market?"
"good."
Chi Yuan readily agreed.
...
The city gate of Jingyang.
A streak of rainbow light pierced the sky, revealing a magnificent warship above the city gate.
After that, several figures walked out. The one in the lead was none other than Yun Feng, the head of the Yun family and Chi Yuan's former prospective father-in-law. To Yun Feng's left stood Yu Xiaoyun and her husband, while to his right stood a young woman in a flowing white dress, wearing a white veil hat and with her face covered by a veil.
It was Yunmeng, Chi Yuan's former fiancée.
(Yunmeng appears in chapters 8, 9, 10, and 15. Brothers who skipped chapters can go back and check them.)
