After seeing Xu Lixue off, Shao Mo returned to the cave alone. After choosing a suitable location, she slowly spread out her palms, and a crystal clear drop of water rolled gently on her snow-white palms.

It was two days later when Shao Mo returned to the capital.

She sneaked back to school, changed back into her original clothes, swaggered back to the courtyard from the school laboratory, closed the door and fell asleep.

Shao Mo slept for three full days.

To outsiders, it seemed that she was so exhausted because she had been doing experiments for two consecutive days. In fact, she was weak because of the long journey and the forced removal of the spiritual spring from her body.

Ling Chuan didn't know what Shao Mo had done secretly. He just thought she was sick. He stayed at home in plain clothes for as long as she slept.

When Shao Mo recovered her spirits and looked at the man who was still by her side with red eyes, the resentment and depression of losing Lingquan were instantly soothed.

"husband."

"Honey, I'm here, what do you want?"

"Let's have a baby. Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

Ling Chuan hugged her, and rubbed his stubbled chin against her head gently, "I like them all, as long as they are our children."

Shao Mo hugged the man's strong waist, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

"Then let's have two, first a son and then a daughter. When the brother grows up, he can help us spoil the sister."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Fortunately, although the spiritual spring was forcibly placed in the cave by Shao Mo, the space was not lost with the disappearance of the spiritual spring.

Over the years, Shao Mo stored the spiritual spring water in the spirit basin in glass bottles every once in a while. So far, the storage capacity of spiritual spring water in the space has exceeded 50 liters, which is enough for her and her descendants to use.

A week later, an anonymous letter was sent to relevant state departments.

Half a month later, news came from Jiang City that ancient relics from the Northern and Southern Dynasties were discovered in the Niutou Mountain area. The entire Niutou Mountain was blocked by the relevant departments, and no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave. The government even sent nearby troops to garrison.

Niutou Mountain is the location of the natural cave where Shao Mo placed the spiritual spring water.

Three months later, news came out that what the national archaeological team discovered on Niutou Mountain was not ancient footprints, but a spiritual spring. The spring water is naturally spiritual and contains an unknown and mysterious energy that can revive the dead.

Afterwards, various rumors about the spiritual spring began to appear in the world.

Some people say that countless ancient cultural relics and treasures were discovered along with the Lingquan. Others say that the Lingquan is the cave where a cultivator lived in seclusion, and that the cultivator had already achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, so he handed the Lingquan over to the country.

As various rumors about Lingquan spread, the forces that were secretly monitoring Shao Mo gradually retreated.

Half a year later, there was finally some progress in the case of Jian Xun's disappearance.

Jian Yan used some tricks to force a clue out of Pei Min, but this clue made Shao Mo extremely sad.

It turned out that Jian Xun had died two years ago.

Over the years, Pei Min has been using the spiritual spring water provided by Jian Xun to do research and has achieved good results.

Originally, with these research results, Pei Min could apply for a patent or even enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But money can make people happy. Pei Min's research was learned by a famous foreign biological company, which offered a sky-high reward of 10 billion yuan to bribe and invite Pei Min's team to go abroad to commercially develop the research results.

Although Pei Min discovered three unknown mysterious elements from the spiritual spring, he did not have the ability to create these three elements.

For money, Pei Min betrayed Jian Xun, but Jian Xun never betrayed Shao Mo until his death.

When those people put a gun to his head and forced him to tell the origin of the spiritual spring water, he chose to jump into the sea and commit suicide.

The Jian family held a simple funeral at the place where Jian Xun jumped into the sea.

That place has rapids all year round and many reefs in the water, but on the day of the funeral, the sea was exceptionally calm, like a mirror, and a few seabirds were circling and singing in the sky, flapping their wings.

Shao Mo bent down and placed a bunch of white chrysanthemums on the beach. After a while, a wave came and swept the whole bunch of white chrysanthemums into the waves, and soon disappeared.

Dr. Jian, rest in peace. I hope we can still be friends in the next life.

After mourning, Shao Mo turned around and prepared to leave, but Jian Yan came behind her without her knowing, and his eyes filled with grief were staring at her without blinking.

Seeing her turn around, Jian Yan said in a hoarse voice: "Although it's a little late, I still want to say thank you to you."

Shao Mo remained calm, "Mr. Jian, please accept my condolences."

Jian Yan walked forward and looked at the sea quietly. The sea surface, which was as calm as a mirror just now, was now full of waves. Just like life, you never know what will happen in the next second.

"When I was paralyzed, I thought it was the darkest moment of my life. I allowed myself to become decadent and live a day-to-day life, but Xiao Xun never gave up.

He always tried to encourage me and find all possible ways to save me. I saw his efforts, but I thought he was just working in vain.

Later, I finally regained the ability to walk, but Xiao Xun disappeared. I was glad at that time that my legs had recovered their health so that I could have the energy to track down Xiao Xun's whereabouts.

But now, there is only endless regret in my heart. If I could choose, I would rather go back to the days when I was paralyzed. At least at that time, Xiao Xun was still by my side.

Ms. Shao, if my health requires Xiao Xun to sacrifice his life, I would rather not be able to walk for the rest of my life."

This is how life is. No matter what choices you make, there will be regrets.

All the suffering you are experiencing now may become the most dazzling journey in your life many years later.

We can only cherish the people around us and live in the present so as to make the most of our time.

After a moment, a familiar and steady sound of footsteps came from behind her. Shao Mo turned around and saw Ling Chuan, who was handsome and handsome in a black suit, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"husband."

Ling Chuan swiftly took off his suit jacket and put it on her. His big hands subconsciously stroked her slightly protruding belly, his black eyes gentle and affectionate.

"The wind is picking up, let's go back."

"Um."

The wind blew the waves, and the sound of waves was heard. The backs of the two people leaving each other outlined a beautiful silhouette on the beach.

Some people are happy, some are lonely, but whether happy or lonely, people always have to move forward to encounter more beautiful scenery and better people.
