Chen Zhou's voice was not loud, but upon hearing his words, many of the surrounding parents hurriedly cleared a path.

Among these parents were Spirit Masters, but healing-type Spirit Masters were far too rare, and even if one were present, most could only treat physical injuries.

Yet, the woman before them looked as if she were riddled with illness; in such a situation, there was simply no way to help.

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, the little boy also stole a glance at Chen Zhou, looking at the boy who had bumped into him yesterday.

His eyes held a trace of confusion, but he still wiped away his tears.

"Please, save my mother. I've already called my father and our family physician; someone will be here soon, but my mother likely won't be able to hold on."

"My name is Xie Xie, and my father is the head of the Xie Family. As long as you can help stabilize my mother's condition, I can give you any reward you want."

Xie Xie's tone carried a hint of desperation, and his eye sockets were already red.

Those tear-filled eyes stared intently at Chen Zhou, causing Chen Zhou's heart to soften.

Especially after hearing the name Xie Xie, Chen Zhou was momentarily stunned.

He did not know when Xie Xie's mother had died in the original timeline.

But she shouldn't die this time, because in the original timeline, she had been bedridden with illness and passed away in her own home.

However, looking at this pitiful Xie Xie and the gentle woman lying on the ground with a pale face, Chen Zhou simply sighed and then slightly raised his hand.

He began to condense the power of the Primordial Sea in his palm, though what appeared this time was neither the Water of Destruction nor ordinary Primordial Sea water, but the Water of Life, which represented life itself.

One should not underestimate this Water of Life from the Primordial Sea; it was truly capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bone.

After all, this heaven-defying ability could create living beings, so Chen Zhou felt it was feasible to use it to stabilize or even treat the injury.

However, since he couldn't be certain, he could only attempt it.

"I'll give it a try, but I don't have a hundred percent certainty that I can stabilize her, so you should be prepared."

"Don't worry, whether you can save my mother or not, I will remember this favor! Once my father returns, I will have him come to your home personally to thank you!"

Xie Xie's tone was filled with grief.

Chen Zhou couldn't truly understand this grief, as he hadn't lost any loved ones, but looking at the boy's heavy demeanor, he simply nodded gently.

It wasn't that he needed any thanks; he was just, by nature, a good person.

If there was anyone to blame, it was the upbringing he had received; his heart was just that soft!

As Chen Zhou slowly approached, the mass of water in his hand, which had been indistinguishable from ordinary water, slowly turned a pale green.

As the water drifted into the woman's body, the pallor on her face began to fade, replaced by a healthy, rosy glow.

Chen Zhou took a look; the amount of Water of Life he could currently mobilize was very limited.

But regardless, the woman's life should have been stabilized by him.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the woman's complexion gradually recover, several parents nearby exchanged glances.

Most chose to leave, but a few remained.

Chen Zhou was in no hurry to leave, pulling Na'er to sit quietly to one side.

Na'er was also looking at the woman with some curiosity, though she didn't have any strong feelings about it.

After all, her human consciousness had only just reawakened, and aside from feeling close to Chen Zhou, her savior, she maintained a dazed, innocent air toward everyone else.

"Brother Chen Zhou, when can we leave? I'm hungry... I want to eat."

Na'er looked at Chen Zhou, her beautiful, large purple eyes filled with a hint of grievance.

On one side was the grief-stricken Xie Xie, and on the other was Na'er looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Chen Zhou felt truly helpless; he felt like a parent taking care of a child.

However, with Xie Xie's mother in this state, he couldn't just leave her here, so he could only pat Na'er's head helplessly.

"Na'er, wait a little longer, okay? When we get back, Brother will add extra dishes for you. Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother to finish." Na'er lowered her head and nodded, ultimately saying nothing more.

Xie Xie, watching this scene from the side, fell silent for a moment.

He was very grateful to these two, and being young, his emotions recovered quickly; seeing his mother's condition stabilize, he wasn't as sorrowful as before.

Looking at the pitiful little girl, Xie Xie took a few packs of beef jerky from his bag and held them out.

However, Xie Xie was clever; he didn't give them directly to Na'er, but instead handed them to Chen Zhou.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your meal. Why don't you eat some beef jerky first?"

Xie Xie's voice was gentle and polite, a stark contrast to the arrogant and domineering person he would become in three years.

At this moment, the boy, guided by his mother's teachings, appeared much gentler and more well-mannered.

Chen Zhou looked at Xie Xie, thanked him politely, and then took the beef jerky, opened it, and handed it all to Na'er.

Na'er would not eat food handed to her by others, but because it came through Chen Zhou's hands, she didn't hesitate and began to eat with gusto.

Watching Na'er eat happily, the expression on Xie Xie's face also softened considerably.

About ten minutes later, a man in a suit ran over quickly, followed by a rescue team.

Seeing the woman lying on the ground, the man hurried forward.

Behind him, two women in maid outfits appeared, lifted Xie Xie's mother, and placed her onto a stretcher.

Seeing this, Xie Xie also stood up, wiped his tears, and looked at the middle-aged man before him.

"Uncle Butler, has my father not returned yet? Can you ask him to come back quickly? Mom's condition is getting worse and worse."

As Xie Xie spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man, but the man only shook his head with a bitter smile; he did not know how to explain.

The family had been very busy lately due to mechanical orders, and the head of the family was completely tied up at the moment.

Therefore, he could only sigh helplessly before signaling for the people to carry Xie Xie's mother away.

Before leaving, Xie Xie took one last deep look at Chen Zhou, then cupped his hands and bowed respectfully toward him.

Chen Zhou was completely bewildered by this gesture; he had no idea what it meant, but he still waved his hand at Xie Xie.

As Xie Xie left, Chen Zhou did not pay it any mind. Holding Na'er, who was busy eating beef jerky, the two of them slowly got into the car.

After the vehicle arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, the two skipped and hopped their way to the room, only to find that Su Xin was not the only one in the dining hall this time; Chen Mo was there as well.

Watching the two of them skipping about, Chen Mo wore a smile, looking gently at Chen Zhou and Na'er.

He did not care much about Chen Zhou having the driver kill someone; one had to remember that this was the world of soul masters.

It was a good thing for someone so young to have compassion, but it was an even better thing if they could possess the ruthless methods of an Asura alongside that compassion.

Thus, Chen Mo was very satisfied with Chen Zhou, and the reason he had called Chen Zhou over was to discuss their trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform shortly.
