Upon hearing Xiao Ye's words, everyone's expressions were as if they had witnessed the end of the world! No matter how beautiful the thing Xiao Ye brought was, it was still a coffin! There was only one possibility for the person inside the coffin!
" Brother Qi, this, this is impossible!" Xiao Wu covered her mouth, looking as if the sky was about to fall.
"Big brother! I don't believe it, how could you just do this..." Tang San excitedly rushed forward, and the others also eagerly wanted to come over.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, Qi Ling isn't dead yet," Xiao Ye said with a mischievous grin. "I put him here just for easier transport."
This sudden turn of events left everyone quite flustered, but a false alarm was better than a nightmare coming true, so they couldn't hold back their anger towards Xiao Ye and instead anxiously asked, "What exactly happened to Big Brother?"
"This is a long story, and I'm sure you'll find it hard to believe. Before that, you should check on their condition first." As Xiao Ye spoke, she pulled back the cloth covering the crystal coffin, revealing Qi Ling and Bibi Dong lying inside.
This time, everyone was even more shocked than before, because they never expected that Qi Ling would be with Bibi Dong.
Even Qian Renxue, who had remained calm until now, exclaimed in surprise, "Mother? What... what's going on?"
"Don't rush, let me tell you slowly!" Then, Xiao Ye explained what had happened to everyone, but it all sounded like a fantasy, and everyone looked completely bewildered.
"Mother, has Mother really come back to life?" Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong in front of her and was so moved that she burst into tears. No one expected that the usually strong woman would have such a vulnerable moment.
This is not hard to imagine. Although the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong is very complicated, blood is thicker than water after all. Moreover, the reason why Qian Renxue has such a personality is naturally due to the influence of Bibi Dong.
Although she never told anyone, Qian Renxue always regarded Bibi Dong as her role model. As a woman, Bibi Dong was able to bring the Spirit Hall to such a level and create a fairer world for all the Soul Master. Everyone had to admire her.
Therefore, after learning of Bibi Dong's death, Qian Renxue was hit harder than anyone could have imagined. If it weren't for Qi Ling, she would probably have been the first to go berserk.
Now, although she still can't fully understand what happened, the fact that Qi Ling and her mother have returned safely, and that Bibi Dong still has obvious signs of life, is enough to make her happy.
Seeing that Qian Renxue was becoming increasingly unable to hold back her emotions, Xiao Wu stepped forward to comfort her. However, while comforting Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu also felt very complicated.
Originally, she hated Bibi Dong very much. Even now, she still harbors resentment towards Bibi Dong for killing her mother and absorbing her mother's Soul Ring.
However, her mother, on her last day, told her not to resent anyone, saying that Bibi Dong was just a pitiful person who needed to be saved.
Moreover, absorbing the Soul Ring of Soul Beast is something every Soul Master does. Bibi Dong just happened to absorb her own mother's spirit rings. In addition, she did change afterward, which made Xiao Wu unsure of how to treat her.
Another point is that back in Spirit City, after Bibi Dong learned of his true identity, she clearly felt guilty and even helped him and Qi Ling escape. In this respect, she was actually kind to him.
"Sigh, if only my mother could be brought back to life." Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, I miss you so much!"
After Qian Renxue finally calmed down, she said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I made you all laugh at me."
"Hehe, A Xue, it's nothing, it's just human nature!" Xiao Ye said with a smile. "Let's first figure out what to do about Qi Ling."
That being said, no one had any idea how to help Qi Ling, because even Tang San had never heard of such lotus seeds before; they were something that shouldn't belong to this world at all.
So all they could do was stay here day and night, waiting for Qi Ling to wake up, hoping their sincerity would move Heaven and ensure Qi Ling's safety.
During this time, the whereabouts of Qi Ling and Bibi Dong were kept absolutely secret and could not be known to anyone. Therefore, only Flender and a few others knew about it, and no one else was informed.
In fact, besides Qian Renxue, there was another person who was even more excited after learning that Qi Ling could actually revive Bibi Dong: Hu Liena!
When Hu Liena first met Bibi Dong, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She kept wanting to say something, but couldn't get the words out. If Tang San hadn't been there to comfort her, she might have gone crazy from excitement.
After that, Hu Liena and Qian Renxue waited in the bamboo house for Qi Ling and Bibi Dong to wake up. It was only because the Soul Master had strong physical abilities that they could endure this; ordinary people would have collapsed long ago.
During this time, Hu Liena and Qian Renxue had several conversations. Hu Liena had always felt guilty towards Qian Renxue because she felt that she had taken away the affection from Bibi Dong that should have belonged to Qian Renxue.
Compared to her relationship with Qian Renxue, Hu Liena felt that Bibi Dong treated her more like a biological daughter. This was because there was a distance between her and Qian Renxue, so Bibi Dong projected her maternal feelings onto Hu Liena.
"It's nothing, Nana. I don't resent you for this. On the contrary, I should thank you," Qian Renxue said after learning what Hu Liena wanted to say.
"Thank me?" Hu Liena was taken aback. "Lady Qian Renxue, I don't understand what you mean."
"Regardless, you've given my mother something to rely on emotionally, and you've always taken care of her, keeping her from feeling so lonely," Qian Renxue said. "So, thank you, Nana, thank you for taking care of my mother."
Hu Liena was shocked once again upon hearing Qian Renxue's words. Sure enough, Lady Qian Renxue was a true angel, wasn't she? How could there be such a perfect person in this world!
"Lady Qian Renxue, you truly are a strong yet gentle person," Hu Liena couldn't help but say. "If our teacher knew you thought this way, there certainly wouldn't be any more misunderstandings between us."
