The giant hand vanished in an instant, transforming into a sky full of falling light.
The light came pouring down.
It scattered across Li Wei's phoenix crown and Phoenix Robe.
It scattered across Jiang Xinyue's slowly darkening hair.
It scattered across Gu Litong's no-longer-hunched shoulders and back.
It scattered across Zhang Luye's short, coarse gray hair, stiff as steel needles.
Li Wei lowered her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the three of them one by one.
Grandma's hollow chest had already healed, her skin glistening and smooth, without a single scar.
The furrows covering her face had vanished, restoring its former fullness, just like when they had first met beneath the pomegranate tree.
Looking into Grandma's eyes, which held both delight and a trace of worry, Li Wei smiled back and gave a light nod.
Grandpa Gu's words...
So this was what he looked like when he was young?
He had handsome features and an extraordinary bearing. He was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
No wonder Old Gu was so handsome.
Looking at the complexity and concern in his eyes, Li Wei playfully blinked at him.
As for Big Brother Zhang...
The muscular brute had only just met Li Wei's gaze when he shuddered and shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No, no, I don't know him! I've never seen him!"
"Pfft!"
Li Wei couldn't help laughing aloud.
But in the next instant, her expression turned solemn.
She no longer lowered her head or looked back.
She was afraid she would grow weak and want to retreat.
She didn't have much time... left.
Drawing back her gaze, she turned resolutely and flew toward the twisted, shattered passage entrance.
Farther and farther away.
On the ground, Zhang Luye finally came to his senses and shot into the air.
