Just as everything was proceeding smoothly, a sudden event disrupted Qi Ling's plans, forcing him to divert his attention to deal with it.
After returning to Dragon's Glory City, Qi Ling took Bibi Dong out of the crystal coffin and found her the most comfortable room to stay in. After all, no matter how comfortable the Soul Tool is, it is not as good as the real world.
After Bibi Dong was settled, her disciple Hu Liena volunteered to take care of Bibi Dong, staying by her side every day without fail, making people feel that she truly cared about her teacher.
A few days later, Hu Liena suddenly found Qi Ling in a panic and said anxiously, " Qi Ling, something terrible has happened! Teacher, something's happened to her! Come with me quickly!"
"What? Something happened to my sister?" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise, immediately jumping up from her chair. "Come on, take me there quickly!"
"Oh, Lord Qi Ling, you still have documents..." Seeing that Qi Ling was about to leave, a group of people who had come to him for help immediately said.
"Go find Rongrong or Xue Ke, they're in charge!" Before the words were even finished, Qi Ling and Hu Liena had already rushed out without stopping for a moment.
But when Qi Ling arrived at Bibi Dong's room, she was shocked by what she saw. Where Bibi Dong had been lying, a huge white lotus flower had appeared, taking up almost half of the room.
At that moment, Qian Renxue was also in the room. Qi Ling hurriedly asked her, " A Xue, what happened? Where is your sister?"
"This lotus flower is Mother," Qian Renxue said with worry in her eyes. "Just now, this white lotus suddenly bloomed beneath Mother, enveloping her completely. We don't know why, which is why we sent Nana to find you."
"This lotus flower... is that my sister?" Qi Ling looked at the lotus flower in surprise. Although Bibi Dong indeed seemed like a vegetable before, showing no reaction whatsoever, she couldn't possibly have really turned into a plant, could she?
However, Qi Ling was not worried about this situation, because this was a normal phenomenon after the " Yin-Yang Harmony Life and Death Lotus " took effect. After seven days of brewing, it finally exerted its effects.
Bringing the dead back to life is only one of the effects of the Life and Death Lotus, and it is not even its main effect. Its greatest ability is to give people a complete rebirth and a brand new life.
Because Yin and Yang inherently represent the cycle of Samsara, this Life and Death Lotus symbolizes granting the deceased a new life, with everything about them, except for their soul and memories, being completely renewed.
From this enormous lotus flower, the group could sense an incredibly strong life force. The energy contained within this divine herb far surpassed that of ten immortal Immortal Herb, which was why it could exert such an astonishing effect.
These energies, though enormous and astonishing, did not leak out in the slightest. Instead, they were all contained within the lotus, acting upon Bibi Dong's rebirth. In fact, as long as you were outside the house, you wouldn't be able to sense their presence at all.
" Qi Ling, will Mother be alright?" Qian Renxue asked Qi Ling with concern.
"Don't worry, my sister is doing very well, better than ever before!" Qi Ling said with a smile. "It won't be long before you see her reborn."
This period of time did not last long. Three days later, the lotus changed again. The petals gradually opened outward layer by layer, and the whole flower was about to bloom, clearly having completed its mission.
Qi Ling, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena, who were anxiously watching all this, couldn't help but feel their hearts race. They wondered what had become of Bibi Dong, and whether she had regained consciousness.
When all the petals opened, revealing Bibi Dong's true face, the three of them stood frozen in place, their expressions filled with disbelief. Even Qi Ling stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"What, what, how could this be?" Qi Ling exclaimed excitedly. "Where's my sister? Where did she go? Why is there only a little girl inside?"
That's right, there was no Bibi Dong inside the lotus flower, only a little girl.
However, the three of them immediately had a startling guess. Qi Ling gasped and said, "Could it be, could it be that she is the older sister?"
"Hmm~" Just then, accompanied by a sound as faint as a mosquito's buzz, the little girl actually woke up, making Qi Ling and the other two tense.
"It's so noisy, where am I?" the little girl said, rubbing her eyes in confusion. Although her face was still very childish, one could vaguely make out the shadow of Bibi Dong.
"Sister? Are you the older sister?" Qi Ling asked cautiously.
"Huh? Little brother? And Xue'er, Nana? What are you all doing here?" The little girl said happily after recognizing the people in front of her.
The three of them immediately realized that the little girl in front of them was indeed Bibi Dong herself, but they didn't know why she had turned out this way.
"Sister..." Looking at the petite and adorable " Bibi Dong " in front of her, Qi Ling found it difficult to call out, "Do you remember what happened before?"
"Before? Before..." The smaller version of Bibi Dong pouted, thinking carefully, "I don't remember anything from before, I only remember a very warm, very warm feeling coming from my hands, and then I suddenly regained consciousness and saw you all."
According to Bibi Dong, that was when the Life and Death Lotus had just taken effect, and when Qi Ling and Bibi Dong had just established a " Shared Life " connection. But other than that, it seems she has no memory of anything else.
"How could that be, teacher? Do you remember me?" Hu Liena said.
"Of course I remember, Nana, how could I forget my student?" Bibi Dong said with a smile.
Although Bibi Dong said she remembered Hu Liena, she couldn't recall anything about her. The same was true for Qi Ling and Qian Renxue; she only remembered who they were, but had no recollection of anything about them.
"A new life, discarding the past?" Qi Ling said slowly, "It seems that my sister has indeed broken free from her past self and gained a new life! After all, in her current state, she can only retain a very small number of memories, so she must have instinctively kept her most precious and important memories, while discarding the rest."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue suddenly had a thought and hesitated before looking at Qi Ling, asking, " Qi Ling, are you saying that Mother has discarded all those terrible memories?"
"Yes, it seems that way now," Qi Ling said. "And it wasn't forgotten; it was automatically filtered out and deleted during the reconstruction of this life! Those were all unnecessary, even harmful things."
"Then, can I, can I ask Mother a question?" Qian Renxue asked eagerly.
Looking at Qian Renxue's expression, Qi Ling roughly knew what she wanted to ask, which was also what he wanted to know, so he said, "Sure, ask away, A Xue."
"Mother, I have a question for you." Qian Renxue approached Bibi Dong and said, "Do you... do you remember who my father was?"
"Huh? Father?" Bibi Dong tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, " Xue'er, do you have a father? I don't remember him."
