I gripped the fruit tightly in my hand; the texture felt incredibly real. This was the first thing I had ever brought back from the underworld.
No wonder some items are tainted with evil spirits and can't be thrown away no matter what. It's probably because the underworld and the mortal world are in different spaces, like an overlapping box. Once you pass through that barrier, you'll return to your original position.
I looked around and saw my master's wife guarding the pass. I had no idea how much time had passed.
"Master's wife, we've got the fruit. Give this to Wu Shi to eat."
Ten years later, seeing that both my master and I had woken up, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness you're alright. How's it going in the underworld? Did anything happen?" the master's wife asked curiously.
I shook my head: "It's nothing, it's just that the ground is too empty, and you can't see anyone."
"Silly child, that's the underworld. If there are any, they're ghosts. How could there be any people there?"
My teacher's wife gave a dry laugh and then led me out of the room.
After leaving the room, I went to the hospital immediately. Since Wu Shi was in a private room, it would be much more convenient for family members to visit.
After all, this is a guarantee provided by the Shanghai Taoist Association.
However, the Shanghai Taoist Association branch has now been disbanded, but the building still stands there.
Perhaps it's to prevent the emergence of evil spirits in the future, or perhaps it's to provide a place for the association to settle down when it is rebuilt in the future.
However, Wu Shi was in a coma and couldn't swallow the fruit.
I can only juice the fruit, and to prevent affecting the results, I put the peels into the blender as well.
They found a syringe and fed the juice into Wu Shi's mouth little by little.
I could clearly feel the unique energy emanating from the juice, a sensation I had never experienced before.
After feeding Wu Shi all the juice, I waited quietly by the bedside.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and after not sleeping for a long time, my eyelids felt heavy. I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep.
What woke me up was neither my master nor my mistress, but a kiss Wu Shi left on my face.
I felt the softness on his cheek, slightly dry, probably because he hadn't had a proper drink of water in a long time.
I didn't pay attention to those details, but when I saw Wu Shi wake up, my heart skipped a beat.
All the suppressed emotions in my heart were released at this moment, and I immediately threw myself into the wizard's arms, tears streaming down my face.
Like a water pump with its valve turned on, my tears poured out onto Wu Shi's hospital gown.
Wu Shi didn't say anything, he just held me and gently patted my back.
I have never been as happy as I am now. This feeling of losing something and then regaining it, this feeling of being redeemed from heartbreak, is truly wonderful.
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt like I had almost cried all my tears out, yet I was still sobbing.
It's hard to imagine that I didn't cry when facing the drought demon, nor when I was on the verge of death, or even when I thought I was entering hell.
But at this moment, I simply couldn't hold back.
I want to tell Wu Shi all my feelings. I miss him, I don't want anything to happen to him, and I don't want him to leave me all alone in this world.
We still have so many things to do together: cultivate together, study together, travel together, climb mountains together, search for the soul of the Taotie, and so much more...
It's so good that Wu Shineng has woken up!
"Young lady, why are you crying so sadly?"
To my surprise, Wu Shi's first words were like this.
I stared wide-eyed at Wu Shi in front of me, my face full of disbelief!
Wu Shi has amnesia!
Does he no longer remember me?
Why? Could it be that the Fruit of Rebirth has the side effect of causing people to lose their memories?
But why didn't King Qin Guang tell me this?
Just as I was wondering what had gone wrong, Wu Shi's large hand landed on my head:
"Xiao Xi, I'm back..."
I looked up blankly at his slightly provocative smile, and it was immediately clear what was going on.
That bastard Wu Shi, he tricked me into crying as soon as he woke up.
I punched Wu Shi in the chest, but I didn't use much force; I just wanted to be a little playful with him.
But Wu Shi, this perennial movie star, was actually clutching his chest and wailing, his facial expression incredibly exaggerated.
I just watched him perform quietly, and this guy even secretly glanced at me.
"Your chest hurts, right? Let me help you treat it!"
After saying that, I pounced on Wu Shi and started pinching him wildly, which made Wu Shi raise his hands in surrender.
Time passed little by little as we playfully bickered.
And I will prepare to take on the next task, which is to find the soul of Taotie. Although that's what they say, finding the soul of a ferocious beast is not so easy!
Before entering the pure white world, I thought that if Wu Shi and I could both get through this crisis safely, then I would finish my university studies.
The mortal realm is relatively peaceful now, and without the Heaven and Earth Church operating behind the scenes, things are much easier to do.
Although some members of the Heaven and Earth Church may slip through the net, with my current strength, I will no longer be as powerless against the Rat as I was last year.
The bronze sword that accompanied me on my campaigns for a year has also been placed in my home. That sword has a strong aura of malevolence and can be used to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.
Now I have mastered most of the spell techniques, and I am capable of fighting against both evil spirits and humans.
