Chapter 61: First Release Could it be that she has already cultivated into an adult...
Wen Yu looked in the direction in which the voice came from, and saw that behind the statue were many children of the same age as A Yuan, who were kneeling or squatting in a circle around it. Although they were crowded together, they were not noisy.
Lying in the middle of it was a white figure. Even from a distance, Wen Yu could see her curled up, lying on her side, hunched over her abdomen, her loose hair covering half her face.
Although he couldn't see clearly, the scent of the wood elf on her body made Wen Yu call out with certainty.
"Branch White Lady!"
Wen Yu's heart sank. She quickly stepped forward, made a gap in the semicircle formed by the children, and signaled everyone to move away.
"Azhu, please take the sisters and brothers out. You can do it, right?"
The scene that followed was not suitable for these children to see. Wen Yu coaxed Ah Zhu gently. She looked even younger than Ah Yuan.
Ah Zhu responded obediently, and while arranging her friends to go out, she did not forget to look back at Wen Yu and Xi Yan.
Wen Yu turned and saw Xi Yan standing by with a look of concern on her face. She coughed awkwardly, "Xi Yan, go out with Ah Zhu to look after the children. It's daybreak now, so go and get them dinner."
"But...Mrs. Wen...you are alone——"
"I can do it alone."
Xiyan stopped insisting after hearing that. Although he looked worried, he did not doubt Wenyu's words at all. He followed Ah Zhu out, looking back every few steps.
Since the young master trusts Madam Wen, I should naturally trust her completely as well. Just take care of the child. Taking care of the child is also very important.
Xiyan nodded, followed Ah Zhu out of the door, and did not forget to greet Yanzi who fell behind him.
Wen Yu watched the door close behind Xi Yan. Before the last crack of the door disappeared, the young man named Yan Zi seemed to glance back at Wen Yu. Wen Yu was so preoccupied with Zhi Bai that she didn't see clearly. When she looked back, the door was already closed and no one was seen.
She turned around and took Zhibai into her arms, gently brushing the hair away from her forehead.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhibai's face, which felt cold and damp to the touch, with no trace of warmth. Her face was deathly pale and lifeless.
"Zhibai Niangzi! Zhibai Niangzi! Zhibai!"
Wen Yu called out several times hurriedly, but as expected, Zhi Bai didn't respond. Only Wen Yu's breath echoed in the empty room.
A cool feeling came from under my hand, mixed with a sticky and thick feeling.
Wen Yu was stunned at first, then she raised her hand and saw that it was covered in blood.
It's the blood of White Lady...
Wen Yu was completely panicked.
Zhi Bai Niangzi was a wood-born monster like her, a non-human being, so how could she bleed...
Could it be that she has already cultivated to become a human?
Wen Yu bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down. Her brows were furrowed, forming a small hill on her forehead.
Although her skills are not very advanced, she is best at healing.
Wen Yu calmed herself down and closed her eyes. She put one arm around Zhibai's shoulders and made a few strokes in front of her body with the other hand. A green light flew out from her fingertips, like a stream of bright light emitting gorgeous colors, and went straight into Zhibai's eyebrows.
She only regretted that she had always been lazy and dozed off in the Spring Temple, and had not mastered these techniques to perfection. Wen Yu held her breath, fearing that she would make the slightest mistake.
Only a quarter of an hour had passed, and Zhi Bai Niangzi still showed no signs of improvement.
Wen Yu turned her fingertips, and the green light that poured out became even stronger, as if to wrap up Zhi Bai Niangzi completely.
Fine beads of sweat flowed from Wen Yu's forehead to her temples. She closed her eyes tightly and knitted her eyebrows slightly, obviously struggling.
“Aunt…Aunt…”
A soft moan passed by her ears, and Wen Yu suddenly opened her eyes. She lowered her head and met Zhibai's misty eyelashes.
Zhibai was just like her name at this moment, with a pale face and no blood. She called Wenyu softly, the voice was very low... Wenyu almost had to bend down to barely hear about 70% of what she said.
Wen Yu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Her master once said that she had abundant spiritual energy in her body, and as long as she practiced diligently and learned how to use it, she would definitely achieve great success.
However, she still couldn't control the spiritual power in her body well, and she had no method in healing Zhi Bai Niangzi. She just continuously transferred the spiritual power into Zhi Bai's body.
"Cough cough!" It took a long time for Zhibai to recover.
She raised her hand and grasped Wen Yu's forearm to stop her movements.
"Auntie, I'm feeling better now. Please don't bother yourself anymore... cough cough..."
"Mrs. Zhibai!" Wen Yu was overjoyed, her heart finally at ease. However, she did not stop her movements, but instead increased her spiritual power to explore the child in Zhibai's belly.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" Wen Yu gasped for breath and then withdrew her hand. She collapsed and sat next to Zhibai, leaning against her. "The child is fine and healthy!"
A tear ran across the corner of Zhibai's eye and quickly disappeared into her hair. She had a smile on her face that was uglier than crying, with all kinds of emotions mixed in it, all of which was the panic of surviving a disaster.
She slowly leaned her head on Wen Yu's shoulder, breathing softly.
“Thank goodness… Thank goodness…”
Suddenly, Wen Yu seemed to have thought of something. She raised her hand and a small pill appeared in her palm.
"This is the elixir I begged from Taishang Laojun before descending to the mortal world. It is the best for cultivating vital energy and protecting people's hearts and meridians. Take it."
Wen Yu took care of Zhibai while helping her take her medicine, and patted her back to help her calm down.
"Thank you for the rescue, auntie."
"You and I are both plant elves, so there's no need to be so polite. By the way... you are bleeding..." Wen Yu then remembered his doubts just now. At that time, he was concerned about Zhibai's injury, and only now did he have time to ask.
Zhibai's brows relaxed, the corners of his lips curved slightly, as if he was saying something extremely ordinary.
"At first, I couldn't. But then, I don't know when it started." Zhibai lifted his sleeve, revealing a piece of his fair arm. The green veins underneath were like mountains, winding and twisting. "What's flowing here is blood, not green juice anymore..."
"What's more, now that I'm pregnant, I've lost all my powers and am no different from an ordinary person..."
If she cannot recover, then she will be a complete mortal.
Wen Yu saw that although she was melancholy, she did not regret it. Her face was tired, but her eyes were very bright and full of clarity.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to restore your magic power," Wen Yu consoled him. "But you've always been very well hidden. How could something like this happen today?"
"When A-Yuan arrived at my house, I was terrified."
When Wen Yu thought about how she felt at that time, her hands and feet became cold and she felt a surge of fear. If A Yuan had not arrived earlier, if she had come later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Upon hearing this, Zhibai sat up straight. She barely held on, took a deep breath, and asked hurriedly, "I was the one who asked Brother Yuan to go to the Song residence to look for Aunt. I hope he won't cause Aunt a lot of trouble."
Trouble? Wen Yu was stunned. It wasn't a trouble at all. After all, she only brought the inkstone, and Song Linsheng was still at home...
Song Linsheng!
A flash of white light flashed through Wen Yu's mind, connecting all the details she had previously overlooked. She and Song Linsheng had never taken A Yuan back to the Song residence, nor had they revealed the location of the Song residence to him...
It must have been Lady Zhibai who told Ayuan in a moment of desperation, so that he would follow the same route to find her. However, if she could think of something, Song Linsheng would surely be able to guess the key to it. By then...
Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. Her shoulders slumped and she sat down weakly on the ground, comforting Zhibai while also comforting herself.
"No trouble! No trouble!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about why you are like this today..."
Perhaps because of the huge consumption of spiritual energy, Wen Yu's head felt a little dizzy. She closed her eyes and waited quietly for Zhibai's next words.
"Today, A-Yuan said he wanted to go fishing in the Yuan River to replenish my body. I tried to dissuade him but failed, so he took Yanzi and ran away."
"At first I didn't take it seriously. Ah Zhu said that Ah Yuan grew up in Jiangyang and was very good at swimming, so catching fish and shrimps would be a piece of cake."
"But they didn't come back until nightfall, so I went out to look for them. But I always felt like someone was following me along the way!"
Although she had lost her magical powers, her natural cleverness was still there. She always felt uneasy as she walked. Before she reached the bank of the Yuan River, the footsteps behind her became more and more frequent.
"I'm clumsy and have no strength to support myself, so I thought of circling a few more times to get rid of the tail behind me." Zhibai's voice revealed a hint of hesitation. She carefully considered her words and continued to talk to Wenyu.
"It seems like there are quite a lot of people coming. The faster I walk, the closer they follow."
"If I continue to tangle with them, I'm afraid I'll bring disaster upon myself."
"What?" Wen Yu suddenly opened his eyes. "Someone is following you?"
"So they fought with you, causing you to be injured and bleeding? They almost hurt the baby in your womb!"
Wen Yu suddenly sat up straight and tried to stand up. "Can you see who it is? I'll go and tie him up and avenge you!"
After all, Zhibai is a spirit who has practiced for a hundred years. If she hadn't lost her magical powers due to pregnancy, how could she have been bullied by a group of mortals!
"Aunt! Aunt!" Zhi Baiyang grabbed the corner of Wen Yu's clothes and added hurriedly, "I didn't encounter them head-on!"
"If I don't find a way to escape, I'm afraid I'll attract people to this Houtu Temple, and then I'm afraid Ayuan and the others will be harmed."
Zhibai was breathing softly. She had just recovered and was weak, so it was difficult for her to speak.
"I cast a spell with all my might... and instantly returned to Houtu Temple, leaving those people without a trace."
However, ever since she became pregnant, she seemed to have developed some kind of restriction within her body, preventing her from casting spells. Today, she forcefully broke through this restriction, and perhaps her spiritual power was turbulent, backfiring on herself.
Although she returned to Houtu Temple safely, her fetal heart rate was unstable and she fell into a coma.
I think the blood on her body was shed later.
"I'm sorry, aunt. I was nearly fainting at that time. I only had time to tell A Yuan your location and ask him to go look for you..."
But I didn't want to cause trouble for my aunt...
