As Su Nian slowly awoke from his hazy, confused state, he blinked, trying to clear his vision.
Gradually, the scene before him began to emerge—he found himself in a pool of warm, misty spring water!
The spring water seems to possess a magical power, making people feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed.
Su Nian looked around in surprise, his mind filled with doubt: How did I get here? What is this place? He tried to recall what had happened before, but only a blurry fragment of memory remained in his mind.
As time went by, those hazy memories began to become clearer. He recalled walking alone in the vast wilderness for many years, experiencing countless hardships and dangers; he also recalled the immense pressure he carried, step by step, towards the Immortal Realm Mountain, and finally succeeding in arriving at the Immortal Realm Mountain.
He vaguely remembered hearing a mysterious voice from afar, as if it came from the depths of the universe, ethereal and elusive. Then, the image of an elderly man with white hair, a kind and wise face appeared before him, but vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
However, what surprised and confused him the most was that in that instant he caught a glimpse of an extremely familiar and dear figure! Who was this figure? Why did it leave such a strong and profound impression on him?
Just as he was lost in thought, a pleasant and incredibly familiar voice suddenly entered his ears: "You're finally awake!"
The sudden sound startled Su Nian. He jumped and quickly turned around to check what was happening.
However, when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was completely stunned, his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.
It turns out that the beautiful woman sitting by the hot spring is none other than the Fourth Elder of the Quanxiu Sect, Mo Rouyun, who has always treated her like her own daughter and doted on her!
She wore a light, gossamer-thin dress, as graceful and ethereal as a fairy descending to earth. The soft skirt, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, gently brushed the ground; while the upper body was adorned with delicate lace, subtly outlining her graceful figure.
At this moment, she was leisurely immersing her bare feet, as white and flawless as jade, into the warm and pleasant spring water.
Su Nian stared wide-eyed at Mo Rouyun, as if trying to see right through her.
He could hardly believe his eyes, thinking to himself, "How is this possible? Am I dreaming? Could I have died and come to heaven? Otherwise, why would I see the Fourth Elder here..."
A series of questions flooded his mind, making Su Nian feel dizzy and almost unsteady on his feet. At this moment, Mo Rouyun looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of love and concern.
"What, are you surprised? Nian'er," Mo Rouyun said with a grin. "Aren't you delighted to see this elder here?"
Su Nian was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he subconsciously let out a soft hum.
Only now did he realize, as if waking from a dream, that he was completely naked! Thank goodness, the invaluable storage ring was still on his hand.
So he hurriedly pulled out a garment from inside and put it on.
After witnessing all this, Mo Rouyun couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and let out a clear and melodious laugh: "Oh ho, now you know how to be shy? Have you forgotten how I used to bathe and scrub you when you were little?"
Faced with this predicament, Su Nian was speechless and had no words to say. At this moment, he had no time to care about these trivial matters; all he wanted to do was find out as soon as possible whether Qian Shudie was safe and sound.
Although Mo Rouyun's sudden appearance surprised him, the most pressing issue at present was undoubtedly the life and death of Qian Shudie.
"How is Shudie?" he asked anxiously.
Mo Rouyun showed a hint of regret, slowly shook her head and sighed softly, "Sigh...about her..."
Upon hearing this, Su Nian's heart tightened suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.
"Take me to see this place." Mo Rouyun shook her head again and silently led the way forward.
Su Nian slowly stood up from the warm and comfortable spring water, water droplets sliding down his smooth and delicate skin like sparkling pearls. He took a deep breath, savoring the fresh and pleasant air around him, and then followed Mo Rouyun, who was not far ahead.
Mo Rouyun walked lightly, as graceful and charming as a fairy.
She led Su Nian through a dense forest to a more secluded and quiet place.
There, another crystal-clear hot spring quietly awaited their arrival.
When Su Nian stepped into this new world, he was stunned by the scene before him—the unconscious Qian Shudie was quietly soaking in the center of the hot spring, her eyes closed and her face as pale as paper.
Su Nian was extremely anxious and rushed into the hot spring without hesitation, quickly arriving at Qian Shudie's side.
He carefully picked up her frail and weak body, feeling her faint breathing and cold body temperature, and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
"Shudie? Shudie?" Su Nian called out Qian Shudie's name softly, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.
He held Qian Shudie tightly in his arms, hoping to bring her some warmth with his body heat. He lowered his head, gazing at Qian Shudie's beautiful but haggard face, his eyes filled with heartache.
