System Takes Action, A Miracle—Resurrecting the Dead!

"Sorry you had to see that."

Suo Ying looked at Feng Xiao and the others in front of him. His expression had softened considerably. The hatred buried deep in his heart for six years had finally been released, and he suddenly felt much lighter inside.

Feng Xiao didn't speak. He simply patted him on the shoulder, the meaning clear without words.

At that moment, Suo Ying looked at Feng Xiao with an indescribable gaze. Suddenly, he dropped to one knee and said, "From today on, my life is yours. I, Suo Ying, will follow you to the death!"

But Feng Xiao just smiled faintly and pulled Suo Ying to his feet. "There's a surprise waiting for you later!"

Then, Feng Xiao turned his gaze to Tina and said, "Let's go. First, we'll help you settle things in your village."

Hearing this, Tina was caught off guard and instinctively asked, "What things?"

Feng Xiao didn't respond directly. Instead, he silently looked at Feng Yu. Feng Yu nodded, and the ripple of space surged once more. The three of them vanished instantly, leaving behind a field of corpses that would soon be devoured by spirit beasts.

When they reappeared, the three of them were already standing in front of Tina's village.

Feng Xiao gave Tina a mysterious smile. "You wanted to know what I was talking about, didn't you? Just wait a moment, and you'll see."

Feng Xiao's actions were straightforward. With a single wave of his hand, a beam of light enveloped Tina's entire village. When the light faded, Feng Xiao chuckled. "It's done. Go take a look for yourself."

Filled with confusion, Tina stepped into the village. As soon as she entered, she sensed something was wrong. The entire village was dead silent—eerily quiet. Just as she was growing anxious and puzzled, sudden cries of joy erupted from every building in the village.

Bang, bang, bang...

A series of doors flew open. One after another, people burst out, their faces brimming with excitement and happiness. Among them were children, middle-aged adults, and the elderly. When they spotted Tina, they all rushed toward her with elation.

At the village entrance, Suo Ying stared at the scene inside, completely bewildered.

"What's going on?"

Hearing Suo Ying's instinctive question, Feng Xiao smiled. "You don't know yet, but six years ago, a strange disease appeared in Tina's village. It caused parts of people's bodies to rot. Except for Tina, almost everyone caught it. To prevent the disease from spreading and to find a cure, the village chief sealed off the village and sent Tina out to search for a remedy."

"But Tina never found a cure. And because the village was sealed—no one allowed in or out—life there became incredibly hard. That's why Tina became a thief. She traded stolen goods for money, bought supplies, and brought them back for the villagers to survive."

"That's how the villagers have lived until now. She would do anything to keep them alive, because behind her were the people who raised her. By the way, Tina was actually an abandoned baby. The villagers raised her."

Listening to Feng Xiao's explanation, Suo Ying finally understood everything. He didn't ask how Xiao Feng knew all this—after everything he'd experienced today, he would have believed it even if Feng Xiao claimed he could raise the dead.

"Come on. Let her enjoy the joy on her own. Now it's time for your surprise. But you'd better prepare yourself. If your heart can't take it and you drop dead, I'd be out a lot."

Feng Xiao brought Suo Ying to the ruins of Suo Village. The place was still a wreck, but after six years of neglect, it was now overgrown with thick grass. Still, traces of what had once been a prosperous settlement could be made out.

For a moment, an unbelievable guess surfaced in Suo Ying's mind. A voice inside him told him it was impossible, yet his heart was filled with anticipation.

"Suo Ying, watch closely. This is the surprise I prepared for you!"

Feng Xiao silently thought, My dear treasure, I'm leaving it all to you!

[Don't worry, Host. Leave everything to me!]

The next second, a golden meteor shower fell from the sky. Beneath that golden rain, Suo Village began to restore itself at an astonishing speed—as if time itself were reversing. The weeds vanished, and the buildings started to rebuild...

Witnessing this, Suo Ying's body began to tremble. The scene before him started to overlap with the village in his memories. After a long moment, he faintly heard voices—voices etched deep into his mind, achingly familiar.

Yes, those voices belonged to the villagers who had died, and to...

"Xiao Ying, is that you?"

Suo Ying's lips quivered. Tears instantly blurred his vision, but the figures within those tears grew clearer and clearer.

"Dad... Mom..."

The golden meteor shower slowly faded. Everything Suo Ying had lost six years ago had returned. That's right—Feng Xiao had asked the system to resurrect everyone who had died in Suo Ying's village six years ago, including his parents.

"Feng Yu, let's go. Let Suo Ying enjoy the family he's found again."

Silently, Feng Xiao left. While Suo Ying wept in his parents' arms, Tina was also crying tears of joy. She finally understood what Feng Xiao had meant by "settling things."

It wasn't until dusk, when the sun was setting, that Feng Xiao saw the two of them again.

"So, did you like the surprise?" Feng Xiao asked with a smile as he looked at them.

But the moment they saw Feng Xiao, they both dropped to their knees with a thud and kowtowed three times without a word. Feng Xiao didn't stop them—he had no reason to.

After the three bows, the two exchanged glances, smiled, and stood up. "Thank you, Young Master."

Hearing that title, Feng Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He had originally planned to recruit companions, but instead, he'd ended up with two subordinates. Awkward as it was, he wasn't looking for partners anymore anyway. He'd just let things take their course.

"Alright, enough of that. Prove it to me with your actions later. I'm leaving now. I'll give you a year to spend time with your families. After that, report to Spirit Hall. I hope to see you both there."

Tina and Suo Ying naturally understood what Feng Xiao meant. Neither argued. They simply nodded sincerely and said, "We'll arrive at Spirit City on time in a year."

"Alright, I'm off."

Under their watchful gazes, the silhouettes of Feng Xiao and Feng Yu grew longer and longer in the setting sun until they vanished completely.

Suo Ying glanced at Tina and said, "Meeting the Young Master is the greatest fortune of my life. I will follow him to the death. What about you?"

Tina smiled back. "I'm his maidservant, so naturally, I feel the same."

Both of them understood that everything they now had—so hard-won—was a gift from Feng Xiao. And they had their own reasons and faith for following him.

As for Feng Xiao, the man in question, he was leisurely making his way toward the Star Luo Empire. To him, everything Suo Ying and Tina now possessed was merely a small favor on his part.

System: "Reviving a bunch of mortals and curing a bunch of mortals is way too easy for me~~"

Feng Xiao: "This is my precious system—so thoughtful~ and so warm~ I absolutely love it!"
