Saving you
"Save me?" Butterfly stared at him, completely bewildered. She couldn't understand how he could save her when she was already dead, a mere soul that could dissipate at any moment.
Is it still salvageable?
That is the problem.
"Of course, if you believe me, there's nothing I can't do," Qian Ye assured him.
"Oh?" Butterfly pondered, "Then how can we save her?"
"Resurrect, I can resurrect you."
"Resurrected?" Butterfly's expression was one of surprise. She could be resurrected? How long had she been dead?
"Even if I could be resurrected, I've been dead for decades. Could I really be brought back to life? Would my body even still exist?"
She thought it was unlikely.
Qian Ye remained calm. "Butterfly, I do know a little about this. Back then, you sacrificed yourself to protect your sister Queen Medusa, from the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, and died from your injuries. However, your body was not abandoned in the wilderness, but was retrieved by the Queen. I think she must have preserved it."
"Of course, decades have passed, and I don't know if it still exists. I'll have to take you to ask the Queen."
Butterfly's eyes flickered. Of course she would be willing to be resurrected. Having hidden in this cave for decades, she was lonely and isolated, so how could she not want to see the sunlight outside?
But when she thought about how she died and why she died, she hesitated again.
"What is your name, sir?"
"Just call me Brother Ye?"
"Brother Ye?"
"Um."
butterfly. "..."
Qian Ye: "..."
The two looked at each other, and Butterfly blushed before saying, "Brother Ye, you know I'm a fugitive, a traitor to the Snake-People Tribe, a queen candidate condemned to death by the elders. I shouldn't exist in this world. Even if you could resurrect me, the result would still be the same: I'd be executed by the elders. 💢♬ 👊🎃"
"So, given my strength and special status, I can neither stay in the Snake-People Tribe nor live in human society. In the end, I will still die. Therefore, I was resurrected. My fate is still the same. Isn't this resurrection a bit redundant?"
"Yes, I must say you're rational, and I admire that about you." Qian Ye gave her a thumbs up.
"But I'm also being a bit too rational. Since I intend to resurrect you, I naturally have a way for you to survive. Otherwise, why would I resurrect you?"
That's right!
Butterfly thought for a moment, then took a closer look at the handsome man in front of her.
"Alright then! Let me reveal my strength to you first. I'm not just Dou Qi Master, but also an Alchemist," Qian Ye said, boasting about his identity.
Alchemist.
Butterfly's eyes lit up. She knew what alchemists represented in the Dou Qi Continent; she had previously learned about it from her clan's teachers.
"Moreover, I am Nine-Star Dou Zun and an Eighth-Rank Alchemist."
ah--
Butterfly stared in shock, utterly dumbfounded. Nine-Star Dou Zun, an eighth-grade alchemist—the implications were self-evident. "You... you really are Dou Zun, or an eighth-grade alchemist?"
"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in with the Goddess Butterfly! Reward: 100 bottles of Grade 7 Transformation Pill!"
The Loli Voice Check-in System says. 💔♤ 🍩♗
Qian Ye smiled slightly, "The Transformation Pill is indeed a good seventh-grade pill."
[Transformation Pill: A seventh-grade pill that allows one to completely shed their beastly body, gaining the long lifespan of a magical beast and the cultivation talents of a human.]
Qian Ye didn't answer her, but continued, "There is a kind of pill Transformation Pill, a seventh-grade pill. It can completely shed one's beastly body, granting one the long lifespan of a magical beast and the cultivation talent of a human. After you are resurrected, I can give you this pill to take, so that you can completely shed your beastly body and become a fully human."
"So, if you don't want to stay in the Snake-People Tribe, I can easily introduce you to a good place where you can do whatever you want and live a completely different life."
Transformation Pill!
Of course, Die knew this too. She had heard the elders in the tribe mention it before. However, this pill was generally difficult to refine. The key was that the medicinal materials needed to refine it were extremely rare and difficult to produce. Therefore, such pills were very rare on the market.
"Really?" Butterfly asked tentatively.
Some people still don't believe it.
But for some reason, I suddenly developed a different kind of affection for this man.
"You don't need to doubt this. I mean what I say. Besides, the Snake-People Tribe of today is not the same as the Snake-People Tribe of the past, so you should understand that I'm not lying to you, right?"
"Then what is your purpose?" Butterfly asked gently. Although she was kind, she wasn't stupid. How could she expect someone to help her for no reason, without any interest?
Moreover, this matter is not simple.
Qian Ye smiled and said, "Let me put it this way! Queen Medusa, who is also your sister, and I are already very close friends. Helping you won't cost me anything, so please don't worry."
"If you're willing, I'll start reviving you right away, but you have to listen to me, understand?" Qian Ye asked.
Um... I haven't thought about it yet!
Butterfly hesitated for a moment before nodding, stepping out from the corner, and coming to stand in front of him.
Qian Ye smiled and put her into his Soul Storage Ring, which would protect her safety.
Qian Ye returned to the Tager Great Desert, released the butterfly into his room, and then went to bed to rest before going to Queen Medusa to discuss the matter.
Butterfly wandered around the room, looking left and right. She was surprised to find that Qian Ye and her sister had such a good relationship that Chiba had even given her a room of her own in the tribe.
Although she longed for freedom in the past, it didn't mean she wanted to abandon the Snake-People Tribe. She just wanted a change of environment. It wasn't that she disliked her home. In fact, she was forced to leave the Snake-People Tribe in the first place.
Little did she know that the outside world was actually far more dangerous than the Snake-People Tribe.
This harmed both himself and others, and that person was none other than the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.
Although the two had feelings for each other, it was only fleeting, ending before it even began.
Time heals all wounds—that's true, but it's not always the case.
Butterfly had been away from the Snake-People Tribe for decades, and she was very happy to be able to return.
Although she was forced to die at the hands of the snake people, she never blamed anyone.
She also believed in Qian Ye's abilities, that he could help her revive and start a new life.
Butterfly quietly walked to the bedside, looking at the handsome man lying on the bed. She stared intently at his face and felt that he was great and warm, like the little sun in her heart, illuminating her future path.
She smiled happily.
Butterfly hid in that cave for decades, her loneliness and isolation known only to herself.
Butterfly originally thought that this was the end for her, without thinking about the future, until her soul slowly dissipated in the cave and disappeared forever.
By then, no one will remember her anymore.
But to her utter surprise, Qian Ye suddenly appeared at the cave, and specifically to see her.
She was still puzzled about how Qian Ye knew her soul would be inside this cave.
Is it just a guess?
He learned about his story from his sister, which led him to search for his soul at the place where he died, and he actually found it. After all, he was Nine-Star Dou Zun, and he had the power to do so.
Thinking this way, the butterfly could accept this reasoning.
However, it seems that my sister is unaware of this matter. So it was Brother Ye who wanted to help her, rather than my sister asking him for help. Perhaps my sister didn't know that Brother Ye had such abilities, let alone that her soul would still exist in this world decades later!
Even if she found her own soul form, her sister didn't have the ability to resurrect herself.
Therefore, Brother Ye is the key to reviving himself, after all, he is an eighth-grade alchemist.
