Looking at the familiar human scenery and feeling her fluctuating body temperature, Ji Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Wasn't I dead?"
Ji Xiaoxiao recovered remarkably well, her injuries completely healed. Zhi Shu, on the other hand, was a tiny bit worse off; she had a fist-sized wound on her chest, from which blood was gushing out.
"Zhishu, Miss is awake. You should heal your wounds quickly," Dali said worriedly.
Amidst a sea of flowers, a single patch of green; within the celestial music, a murmur of noise. Ji Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dali trembling. Not long after, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
Ji Xiaoxiao was not a reckless or impulsive person who acted rashly. She was 100% certain that she had died at Dali's hands, and that her miraculous return to life was undoubtedly related to Dali.
There are priorities, and the issue of bringing someone back from the brink of death can be put aside for now. Ji Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry; Zhishu's injuries are what are more worrying.
"Zhishu, what medicine do you need?"
Ji Xiaoxiao found Zhishu's all-purpose bag. Inside were bottles and jars that looked the same, but without any labels or names. Whether they were poison or medicine, she didn't know their uses, so Ji Xiaoxiao dared not act rashly.
Zhi Shu pointed to a jade bottle. Ji Xiaoxiao uncorked it, smelled it, and found it refreshing and invigorating. The fragrance of the medicine was pleasant, so it shouldn't be poison.
"Here, take this." Ji Xiaoxiao carefully fed the medicine to Zhishu. After Zhishu took it, the wound began to scab over, and the bleeding stopped.
Dali, panting heavily, asked Ji Xiaoxiao for that one pill. Ji Xiaoxiao agreed, and Dali took the pill. His condition improved considerably, and color returned to his face.
After meditating and healing for an hour, Dali knelt down and moved in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, his face serious, and said, "Miss, I hurt you, I deserve to die..."
Next, Dali told Ji Xiaoxiao about her special ability.
In this world, eight or nine out of ten people either cultivate martial arts or choose spiritual power. However, in vast lands with countless races, there are always some who are born extraordinary, possessing innate supernatural abilities.
Dali is the eldest daughter of a small family on a remote border of the continent. This family is favored by the heavens, and upon reaching adulthood, they are possessed by nine lives. These nine lives can not only be used by themselves, but can also be transferred to others through blood and life incantations.
Because outsiders learned of this extraordinary talent, Dali's family was destroyed and enslaved by a powerful enemy, forced to bear children like wild beasts. Dali managed to escape, but after being trapped and starving for a long time, he collapsed in the grass, exhausted, and was rescued by the original owner's mother, Situ Sisi.
Giving your life to someone else, rather than killing yourself with your own hands?
"Dali, are you alright?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked, knowing there was a reason for the incident and that he was her savior.
Daryl shook his head. "His life is not in danger."
"That's good." Ji Xiaoxiao pulled Dali up and solemnly apologized to him.
After receiving Ji Xiaoxiao's forgiveness, Dali deflated like a punctured balloon, leaning against Zhishu and falling into a deep sleep.
They had experienced so much in one day that all three of them were exhausted.
The next day at noon, Ji Xiaoxiao was the first to wake up. After a quick wash, she went into the forest to forage for food, prepared a meal, and then woke up Dali and Zhishu.
They had a very satisfying meal, but since they didn't know if the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix would return, the three of them continued on their journey.
"Zhishu, Dali, where are we going?" Ji Xiaoxiao led the way, with Dali supporting Zhishu as they followed closely behind.
Zhi Shu rested her chin on Da Li's shoulder and said softly, "The deepest part of the Death Forest."
Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Aren't the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix in the deepest part of the Death Forest? Are we walking into a trap?"
Knowing the book, he pretended to be profound and said, "In the deepest part of the Death Forest, there is a sacred place for magical beasts and spirit beasts—the Divine Miracle, and there is also the God-Appraisal Tower that restrains the God of War and the God of Spirit."
"The Tower of Divine Appraisal?"
“Yes, the old master and the others probably won’t last much longer. We need to go to the Divine Appraisal Tower and ask the people there to stand up for our Xie family.” Zhi Shu said with a firm and powerful voice.
"Okay," Ji Xiaoxiao agreed.
Ji Xiaoxiao did not want to rely on the strength of others. However, in the path of cultivation, no matter how good the teacher, how many fortuitous encounters, or how high the talent, without the accumulation of time, becoming a saint or a god is ultimately just a pipe dream.
The three of them walked further and further away, and the deeper they went into the Death Forest, the fewer magical beasts and spirit beasts they encountered.
"Be careful, don't make too much noise. None of the beasts that can stay deep in the Death Forest are vegetarians." Just as Dali finished speaking, the three of them turned around and saw a Misty Deer grazing.
“It’s a vegetarian, but it’s definitely not to be messed with,” Darli cleared his throat and said.
The Enchanting Deer is a level nine spirit beast, just one step away from becoming a king.
Ji Xiaoxiao gave a stiff smile. For some reason, she felt unusually annoyed and subconsciously avoided approaching a certain forbidden area. She looked up at the sky, and a flash of white light passed by.
With a whoosh, the Enchanting Deer was pinned to the trunk of a nearby giant tree.
As the Buddhist music began, flower petals fluttered down, and a man in white robes slowly descended from the sky.
The man in white was incomparably handsome, and Ji Xiaoxiao's heart pounded wildly as she took in his eyes.
Ji Xiaoxiao went in and took a look, but her blood rushed to her head and she fainted.
