Signs Before Returning to the Sect

Absorbing dragon blood is no easy task. That night, Xiao Liu and his mother, who were standing outside the house, could only hear Meng Luosheng's miserable wails. Although they were very nervous, they still obediently followed Sang Ying's instructions and did not dare to rush into the house.

The door finally opened just as dawn was breaking.

Emerging from inside was a weary-looking Sang Ying: "As expected, Meng Luosheng is well."

The mother and son were overjoyed and almost knelt down to kowtow to Sang Ying, but fortunately Sang Ying stopped them in time.

"You don't need to thank me. It's all thanks to Meng Luosheng himself that he was able to recover." If he hadn't been able to endure the pain, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

However, despite what she said, Xiao Liu and his mother still felt that most of the credit belonged to Sang Ying, and they felt even more grateful to her.

After thanking them again, the two went inside to see Meng Luosheng.

Both mother and son were somewhat surprised upon seeing this.

If Meng Luosheng, though handsome before, always carried a hint of melancholy in his eyes, now Meng Luosheng is like a jewel whose dust has been wiped away, radiating his brilliance with abandon.

When Xiao Liu first saw him, he was almost afraid to recognize him.

"Mother, Xiao Liu, I'm finally all better." He rushed forward and hugged his mother and younger brother tightly, overjoyed at the feeling of becoming Dragon Race.

He could clearly feel that he had become stronger, and this strength allowed him to provide a better life for his mother and younger brother, and also enabled him to go further in life.

Meng Luosheng felt only relief, relieved that he had chosen the right path.

Madam Meng rolled up her son's sleeves and examined him several times until she was certain that he was no longer covered in scales. Only then did she burst into tears of joy.

She then cried and told her son, "This time Fairy Sang Ying has really helped our family a lot. You must repay her properly in the future!"

Meng Luosheng nodded repeatedly, "I promised my mother that I would repay the fairy properly." If he could, he would protect her for the rest of his life!

After all, Sang Ying gave him his second life.

Seeing that the mother and her two children had started to cry together, Sang Ying naturally didn't want to disturb their family reunion. So she quietly returned to her rented courtyard, planning to come back in the afternoon to discuss terminating the lease.

Before going to Gleaming Gold Island, Sang Ying arranged her courtyard very well, setting up many formations inside. Even after being away for two months, it was still spotless, as if someone had been cleaning it all along.

After staying up all night, Sang Ying was exhausted. For the first time, she didn't meditate or cultivate, but instead had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up again, there were already people waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Waiting for her were Meng Luosheng and Xiao Liu.

Upon seeing the two, Sang Ying quickly opened the door and welcomed them in. Both of them had dark circles under their eyes, indicating that they probably hadn't rested at all.

"Why are you here so early? I was planning to come looking for you later." Sang Ying raised her hand, and two cups of tea appeared on the table.

Xiao Liu took a sip and his expression became much more clear-headed.

"Mother sent us to thank the fairy. Thanks to her help last night, she first saved my mother and me, and then healed my brother." Xiao Liu paused, then said earnestly, "I've already discussed it with Mother. From now on, my life belongs to the fairy. I'll do whatever you ask!"

Sang Ying paused as she poured him tea, unsure whether to laugh or cry. "I don't need you to do anything for me. Just live well and cultivate diligently."

Although we don't know how much Xiao Liu will achieve in the future, he seems to have a good character, so perhaps he will achieve something.

Sang Ying refused earnestly, Xiao Liu could only lower his head in disappointment.

"By the way, I'll be leaving Haizhou City soon, so I wanted to let you know in advance that I won't be renewing the lease for this courtyard." Sang Ying mentioned the lease termination to Xiao Liu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu immediately took out several mid-grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag: "This is the rent you gave me before. I've exchanged them all for mid-grade Spirit Stone so you can take them with you."

Sang Ying pushed it back to Xiao Liu's side. "No need for that. It's rent, so it's what I owe you. Or, when I come to Haizhou City again in the future, you can let me stay here for free for two months."

Fearing that Xiao Liu would be unwilling, Sang Ying had no choice but to change her mind.

Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly, "I'd do it even for free for a lifetime, let alone two months!"

He spoke so earnestly that Sang Ying almost laughed.

Meng Luosheng remained silent until they sat for a while. Just as they were about to leave, he took a small box from his robes and handed it to Sang Ying: "Fairy, please don't refuse. It's nothing special. It was just something my mother found beside me when she found me. I can't see anything special about it, but I really have nothing else to give you. I hope you won't find it offensive."

His words made it sound as if Sang Ying's refusal to accept his offer meant she was rejecting him.

Upon hearing this, Sang Ying paused, her hand about to refuse, and finally accepted the gift. "Alright, thank you for the gift."

Meng Luosheng nodded, his face, which was even more handsome than before, now showing a rare familiarity.

After seeing the two off, Sang Ying finally had time to see what Meng Luosheng had given her.

Inside the box lay a small bead, round and dark brown in color; its purpose was unknown.

Sang Ying was unsure, so she woke up the sleeping Gu Shu —he had been sleeping frequently lately, supposedly to absorb Spiritual Qi and solidify himself. So she told Sang Ying to call him if she needed anything.

Upon seeing the strangely shaped bead, Gu Shu immediately gasped, clicking his tongue in amazement. "You're really lucky! With this thing, you made the right decision to save that person."

"What does this mean? What is this thing?" Sang Ying asked, completely bewildered.

Gu Shu said, "This is Sarira!"

Sarira —aren't those things only found in Buddhist practice? Why would they appear on Meng Luosheng's body?

"This Sarira is like the Dragon Pearl of the Twin Orchid Realm, rare and precious. It's a rare treasure that can also help you resist Demonic Qi attacks. If you encounter Su Fuyun again, with this, you'll have nowhere to escape!" Gu Shu explained.

Sang Ying gripped the Sarira tightly and carefully put it away.

Having received such a generous gift from the Meng Household, she'll probably have to look out for them in the future.

The lease termination issue has been resolved, and news has also come from the Hai Household that the elders have confirmed the authenticity of the golden harpoon and have definitively decided on Hai Tingzhou's status as their heir.

Not long after Sang Ying returned to the courtyard, Fang Chi and Liu Wu also came to say goodbye.

Fang Chi was a bold girl; after leaving Haizhou City, she was going to train in other places. Liu Wu, on the other hand, was in a hurry to go back and heal his friend who needed the Ice Lotus.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to come and find Sang Ying: "This is a jade talisman I made specially. If you encounter any danger, you can use this talisman to send me a message, and I will come to save you immediately."

Finally, he emphasized, "No time limit, no limit on the number of times."

Does this mean he's going to protect Sang Ying for the rest of his life?

She didn't ask the question aloud, but she still accepted the jade talisman without hesitation.

With her friends gone, Sang Ying also went to bid farewell to Hai Tingzhou. This Haizhou City had been quite rewarding for her; perhaps one day, after she had dealt with other trivial matters, she would return to explore it thoroughly.

Ten years later, at the foot of the Flowing Light Sword Sect mountain.

The simply decorated teahouse was bustling with noise, filled with the chatter of Rogue Cultivator and ordinary people.

The person they talked about most was the second disciple of Immortal Venerable Immortal Venerable Yanchen of the Flowing Light Sword Sect.

"It is said that Fairy Sang Ying formed her Golden Core at the young age of twenty, making her the youngest Golden Core cultivator in our Twin Orchid Realm!" someone exclaimed.

"Absolutely!" another chimed in. "She's traveled extensively for many years, using her sword to fight against injustice and help the weak. Not only is she highly skilled, but she's also incredibly kind!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in blue, who was sitting in a corner of the teahouse, paused involuntarily, her hand holding the teacup still.

"What, are you shy because you heard someone praising you?" A voice that went unnoticed came from the spiritual sword beside her, and the female cultivator behind the veil smiled helplessly.

Beneath the light veil was a face of ethereal beauty.
