Zishu and Jingli were both feeling complicated. They were furious when they learned that their brilliant junior sister had actually signed a symbiotic contract with Xiu Qiyu, a burly swordsman. How could their junior sister be so foolish?
Sword cultivators are the kind of people who carry a sword around all day, looking for someone to challenge. They're easy targets and can easily get killed, which would definitely implicate their junior sister.
But now it seems that this contract is not so useless. For example, today, if it weren't for Xiu Qiyu, they would have no idea about Junior Sister's situation, let alone rescue her.
Regardless of the reason, Xiu Qiyu's feelings for his junior sister were touching. They couldn't find a way to break the contract, so they could only leave it at that for now. However, Xiu Qiyu's behavior was still satisfactory to them.
"No matter what, this debt is now pinned on Mount Saint."
"Junior Sister's identity is special, so we must make thorough preparations before she leaves the Pill King Palace."
Xiu Qiyu silently went to cultivate. Only by becoming stronger could he better protect Xiao Yezi and avoid being so helpless every time she was injured.
Zishu and Jingli both held their breath and went to cultivate.
Ye Xiruo's mind was still in a state of chaos, but she felt warm all over, and the cold and lifeless feeling from before was gone.
The illusion she had experienced was so vivid that it made her feel as if she had returned to the past, to her youth. However, it was all just her imagination. Even with her extraordinary cultivation and ability to traverse time, she could not stop time, nor could she bring back those who had passed away.
Even if she ascends to immortality and finds the reincarnations of her parents, grandparents, and children, things will be different. They have long forgotten her and have their own lives now.
"Foolish child, wake up now!"
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly entered Ye Xiruo's mind. Ye Xiruo slowly opened her eyes and saw the Saintess's familiar white veil and clear eyes: "Saintess."
"You're finally awake." Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi looked at her with surprise and delight.
"It is my fault for causing the Holy Maiden and the two elders worry."
"You've been unconscious for three days."
Ye Xiruo frowned, moved her body and found it very stiff: "Thank you for saving my life, Holy Maiden, after all this time."
Lianqing and Lianchi knelt down immediately: "Please forgive us, Young Master. It was our negligence that allowed Liansi to take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack on you."
"That's her business, it has nothing to do with you two. The two elders have taken great care of me along the way, so please get up! The grievances should be settled by the perpetrators, and I will not hold a grudge."
"Thank you, Young Master."
"The young master is magnanimous and will not hold it against you. Go down and atone for your crimes by finding all the traitors as soon as possible. Otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again, and even if you two die ten times, it won't be enough."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
Lianqing and Lianchi stepped down immediately.
Ye Xiruo struggled to get up, but the Holy Maiden stopped her directly: "This is Holy Maiden Peak, my residence. You can rest and recover in peace."
Good heavens, how did I end up being transported to the sacred grounds of Saintess Peak after just one night's sleep? If the elders and disciples found out, they would definitely tear me apart.
"Thank you, Holy Maiden, but this seems to be against the rules!"
“On Mount Saintess, I am the rule. I feel very guilty for causing your injury this time, so this is a small compensation. Please don’t refuse it.”
"What did you encounter in the glacier?"
"After eating two Snow Mountain Cold Fish, my meridians and body were forcibly reshaped. When I finally woke up, I encountered a Nascent Soul Venerable and an Illusionary Demon in battle. I was drawn into the illusion, and I don't remember anything after that."
If Ye Xiruo's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, there should be no loopholes.
The saintess hesitated for a moment, then conjured a mirror: "Look at your face."
Ye Xiruo was shocked. What happened to my face? Was I disfigured?
When she saw it, she was so shocked she almost had a heart attack. She had been looking at this familiar face for over twenty years, thinking she would never see it again in this life. But this dramatic change actually made her soul and this body even more compatible. This exquisite face, exactly the same as in her previous life, was the best proof. In fact, because of her cultivation in this life, it was even more lively and ethereal than in her previous life.
Ye Xiru coughed twice to cover up her shock: "I really didn't expect that this Snow Mountain Cold Fish could have a cosmetic effect. This saves me a lot of trouble."
"You mean you've entered an illusion?"
"Yes, that illusion was very realistic, but it was something from the past. I almost fell into it and never came out again."
"This phantom beast must be of a very high level. You were lucky to escape this time. Just focus on your cultivation from now on."
Ye Xiruo nodded. Fortunately, the Holy Maiden did not ask any further questions, otherwise she would have been exposed.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you some food."
"Alright, thank you, Holy Maiden."
A little while later, a bowl of fragrant bamboo rice porridge was brought over. The porridge was very thick and contained fish slices, and it smelled delicious.
"This is a fish porridge made with bamboo rice from Xuezhu and snow mountain cold fish. Drink it while it's hot."
This bowl of porridge, which would drive anyone crazy outside, was being savored by Ye Xiruo. The fragrance of bamboo mixed with the delicious flavor of the snow mountain fish created an indescribable and wonderful experience. Ye Xiruo drank two bowls before stopping.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day."
"Could it be that there are snow mountain cold fish inside Mount Saintess?"
The saintess nodded: "This little thing is very delicate; there are three people taking care of it."
As expected of Mount Saintess, such a wonder of nature can even be cultivated.
"You should get some rest. I'll come see you later."
Ye Xiru circulated her true energy and sensed it. Her meridians and flesh were perfectly fine, even stronger than before.
The world-renowned "Holy Light Technique" truly lived up to its reputation, actually healing all her internal and external injuries.
The bed she was lying on was a warm jade bed, which constantly emitted warm true energy that nourished her body. No wonder her injuries healed so quickly.
Upon removing the fire essence from my neck, I noticed it had shrunk considerably and its color had become dull and lifeless. If I didn't replenish my fire-attribute true energy, it would probably be ruined after one or two more uses.
