Yan Qingwu smiled slightly, " Lingxi, surpassing your brother, or even becoming like him, is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It may take countless years. You haven't even broken through to the Immortal Emperor yet, and you're already thinking about things that are impossible to achieve right now. That's really a bit too impatient."
Ye Lingxi frowned and fell silent.
Yan Qingwu patted Ye Lingxi on the shoulder and said gently, "Listen to Qingwu, your current task is to break through to the Immortal Emperor. As for anything else, don't think about it, otherwise, it might affect your Dao Heart."
The girl suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile on her face, like ripples spreading across a clear lake.
She smiled and said, "Sister Qingwu, I know. Actually, after what Brother said to me before, I understood. I was just muttering a few words casually, that's all."
Yan Qingwu nodded, her face full of relief. "That's good."
At the same time, Su Chen's gaze fell on the two Heaven Soul and Earth Soul, and he said calmly, "What? Do I need to invite you back to your original bodies?"
The Heaven Soul and Earth Soul trembled, then transformed into two streams of light, flying into the body of the woman lying on the futon.
Xiao Jing stared at the woman, his expression uneasy, his heart pounding, and his breathing becoming rapid.
Xiao Yue'er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently prayed.
The father and daughter were tense at that moment.
Xiao Ziyan's originally pale face gradually regained its rosy hue as time went by, as if the warm spring sun had melted away the frost and given her back the radiance and vitality of life.
At this moment, the woman's long eyelashes trembled slightly. Xiao Jing and his daughter watched this scene with their hearts in their throats, feeling extremely nervous and excited.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, revealing eyes that shone like shooting stars, beautiful and captivating. At this moment, her eyes were somewhat confused and dazed, but she quickly returned to normal.
" Ziyan!"
Xiao Jing suddenly appeared beside the prayer mat, staring intently at the woman, his expression extremely excited, his hands trembling, clearly indicating that he was far from calm.
Xiao Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly lowered her hands, which were clasped together. If you looked closely, you could see that her hands had turned white, obviously due to the force she had used.
Ye Lingxi and Yan Qingwu exchanged a glance, and smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.
The woman snapped out of her daze, tilted her head to the right, and looked at Xiao Jing Xiao Jing. She paused for a moment, then instinctively called out, "Father."
The sound was soft and delicate, like a gentle breeze brushing against the strings of a zither, carrying an ethereal beauty. Although it was only a single word, it was still captivating.
Upon hearing the word "Father," Xiao Jing's eyes instantly reddened, blurring his vision. He trembled all over, fighting back tears, but a smile crept onto his lips. "Sigh..."
The woman had never seen Xiao Jing like this before. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, and she quickly asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jing reached out and grasped the woman's right hand, shaking his head with a smile, "It's nothing, Father is just too happy."
Upon hearing this, the woman pondered for a moment before asking, "Father, if I remember correctly, I was severely injured by a powerful Dragon Clan, wasn't I?"
Xiao Jing remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Mm."
He said guiltily, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting you."
Xiao Ziyan shook her head slightly. "It's not Father's fault, it's my fault. I should have stayed by your side and not run off."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Father, how long was I unconscious?"
Xiao Jing's expression was complicated. "I can't remember."
Xiao Ziyan was taken aback, then said, "You don't remember? Was I unconscious for a long time?"
Xiao Jing nodded. "It's been hundreds of thousands of years, hasn't it?"
The woman looked bewildered.
Xiao Jing's breathing was heavy, and he remained silent.
Xiao Ziyan remained silent for a long time before finally murmuring, "Hundreds of thousands of years... So I've been unconscious for that long?"
The woman seemed somewhat dazed, as if she recalled the scene from hundreds of thousands of years ago when the middle-aged man spared no effort to save her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and they slowly reddened. Looking up at Xiao Jing, she felt a pang of sorrow and heartache. Forcing herself to suppress the urge to cry, she whispered, "Father, you've worked so hard."
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he seemed oblivious, saying, "It's not hard work."
Xiao Ziyan suddenly smiled, her smile as beautiful and warm as the sunset.
A smile appeared on Xiao Jing's face. This was the second time in his hundreds of thousands of years that he had felt the happiest. The first time was naturally when Xiao Yue'er was born.
Xiao Yue'er then arrived at the prayer mat, smiling and calling out, "Sister."
Xiao Ziyan stared blankly at the woman who bore a striking resemblance to her, then seemed to realize something, but unsure, she asked, "Did my father give birth to you while I was unconscious?"
Xiao Yue'er nodded, "Mm!"
Xiao Jing suddenly said, "Your sister suffered a lot in order to find a way to cure you."
Xiao Ziyan was deeply moved. She looked at her younger sister, a gentle and touched smile on her face, and said, "Thank you."
This is a heartfelt expression of gratitude.
Xiao Yue'er smiled and said, "Then you have to protect me from now on and not let anyone bully me."
Xiao Ziyan was stunned, then frowned and asked, "Are you often bullied?"
Xiao Jing suddenly said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. With me here, who would dare to bully her?"
Xiao Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
She looked at Xiao Ziyan with a serious expression and said, "As long as I live, I will never let you get hurt!"
Xiao Yue'er chuckled, "Yes, yes! Of course I believe you, sister."
Xiao Ziyan smiled gently, and then she suddenly noticed Su Chen standing to the side. Perhaps Su Chen had such a low profile that she only noticed him then.
She looked at Su Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Her first question wasn't who Su Chen was, but rather, why was this man so handsome?
But she quickly realized that staring at people was impolite, so she quickly looked away, a Hong Yun creeping onto her face, but she soon returned to normal.
Xiao Yue'er saw this scene clearly. She glanced at Su Chen, then at her own sister, and fell silent.
Oh no, has my sister fallen for him? Well, with Su Chen's near-perfect face, it's hard for her not to be attracted, but... what if she falls for Su Chen?
Should I give Young Master Su Chen to my sister?
Holy crap!
How could this be!
I was the one who liked it first!
So what should we do?
Forget it, at worst we can both marry Young Master Su Chen, it's not out of the question.
