Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"The soul of Lord Mo Yuan?" Jiang Ruan asked curiously, "How could it be in my body?"

Donghua said, "I don't know either."

His hand reached out to Jiang Ruan, and when it was about to touch the delicate white skin on her neck, a faint divine power popped out and hit his fingertips.

Jiang Ruan naturally saw this scene as well.

She felt her body and didn't feel anything wrong.

“I didn’t feel anything,” she said.

Donghua stared at his fingertips, which had been stained red by the power of Mo Yuan's remnant soul. His eyes darkened and his voice darkened, "It is indeed Mo Yuan's remnant soul."

He was happy that his friend had found a glimmer of hope, but he was also really concerned that Mo Yuan's residual soul was actually in Jiang Ruan's body.

The attack from Mo Yuan's remnant soul when he approached Jiang Ruan just now was not so much a protection as it was... Mo Yuan's possessiveness of Jiang Ruan.

"Aruan, try to get closer to me." Donghua said suddenly.

Jiang Ruan moved closer to him, so close that her chest was right next to his and she could hear his steady heartbeat.

Suddenly, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, sore and swollen, which made her unable to hold back the tears in her eyes.

Jiang Ruan squatted down, covering his heart.

When Donghua checked on her condition with concern, she looked up, her eyes blurred with tears and she couldn't even see Donghua's face clearly.

"I don't know what's going on, I feel very sad. It's not me who is sad... it's my heart... it's not my heart... I..." Her words were confused and she didn't know how to express herself.

Donghua's hand gently slid down her back, comforting her: "It's okay, Ruan, it's okay... I'll take you to find Zheyan, I think he'll have a solution."

Kunlun is empty.

Kunlun Xu is very lively today.

Diefeng, who was entertaining Grand Prince Yangcuo and his wife Lexu in the main hall, saw the man in the long gown rushing in and whispered anxiously in his ear, "Emperor Donghua is here! He's fighting with Supreme God Zheyan in the back mountains!"

Diefeng was startled and the tea in his hand spilled onto his fingers.

The scalding hot tea scalded him, and he quickly put down his teacup. He smiled politely at Yang Cuo and Le Xu, who were staring at him curiously. "Since the Crown Princess and His Highness have come here by the Emperor's order, please make your own way. I'm busy with my duties and I'm afraid I can't spare you, so I'll have Second Junior Brother Changshan show you around Kunlun Mountain."

Having participated in the war against the Wing Tribe together with Diefeng, and having a comradeship, Yangcuo was easy to talk to: "Venerable Diefeng, you are too polite. You have something to do, and it would be bad if you were delayed."

Besides, the couple came here originally for the purpose of having children, so it would be convenient if no one was with them.

Diefeng hurried out of the hall.

Seeing Zi Lan waiting outside with an anxious look on his face, he hurried to the back mountain while asking, "Why did the Emperor fight with the Supreme God Zhe Yan?"

"I don't know either!" Zi Lan was also baffled. "The Emperor attacked Supreme God Zhe Yan without a word the moment he saw him... Oh, by the way, the Emperor and Empress are here too, with Seventeen accompanying them."

When Diefeng heard Zilan mention Jiang Ruan, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, could it be that the Emperor and Supreme God Zheyan are fighting over Miss Jiang?!

By the time Diefeng and Zilan hurriedly arrived, the fight between Donghua and Zheyan had already ended. Both of them looked unhappy, but fortunately the atmosphere was still peaceful.

The place where Donghua and Zheyan fought was Mo Yuan's yard, and Mo Yuan's body was lying in the room behind them.

Si Yin and Jiang Ruan sat on the stone steps at the door of the room.

Donghua and Zheyan were talking about something.

Seeing Diefeng and Zilan, Si Yin stood up and walked towards them: "Big Brother and Senior Brother Zilan... why are you here?"

Diefeng saluted Donghua and Zheyan and said, "I heard that the Emperor and High God Zheyan had a disagreement. Diefeng was terrified. Moreover, Master sacrificed himself to the Donghuang Bell. Kunlun Xu cannot withstand such a big upheaval."

"Oh, you're overthinking it." Zheyan's mouth ached as he spoke. Even though he used magic to mask the pain, it still hurt. Donghua remained silent with a cold face. He was the only one who could act as a peacemaker: "Donghua and I were just arguing, but we weren't really fighting."

Diefeng looked at Donghua, who didn't say anything but didn't deny it either, and felt relieved: "In that case, Diefeng is relieved."

"Are the Emperor and High God Zheyan here to see Master? If you are finished, could you please come to the main hall and allow Diefeng to show some hospitality to you two on behalf of the other disciples from Kunlunxu?"

Was he worried that his fight with Donghua would implicate Mo Yuan? Zheyan couldn't help but laugh.

Donghua looked at Diefeng and said in a cold voice, "We have something to discuss. If you are free, please leave the space to us."

Diefeng and Zilan looked at each other and retreated. Because of his master Si Yin, he was very reluctant, but was still pulled away by Diefeng.

Zheyan examined Jiang Ruan, and when he wanted to get close to Jiang Ruan, he indeed felt the counterattack of Mo Yuan's remaining soul.

"How could it be..." After ten years of being together, Zhe Yan finally realized: "How could Mo Yuan's residual soul be in Ruan Ruan's body?"

Jiang Ruan himself also found it strange.

"Could it be the day when Ruan Ruan ascended to heaven by the Weak Water River..." Zhe Yan pondered.

Donghua thought, "Aruan ascended to immortality because of her compassion for the world. Could it be that when Mo Yuan sacrificed himself to the Donghuang Bell, he sensed Aruan's compassion, and coupled with the need for his remaining soul to find shelter and recuperate quickly, he and his destiny to ascend to immortality fell into her body?"

"That's the only explanation." Zhe Yan sighed, "It's just that Mo Yuan's remaining soul is extremely weak right now, and it can't be drawn out for the time being."

As he spoke, he looked at Donghua and said, "I'm afraid you and I will have to take turns to help Ruan Ruan cultivate. Once Mo Yuan's remaining soul has recovered, we will lead it out and place it in his body buried in the Wuwang Sea."

The immortal body buried in the Wuwang Sea will not decay, and this is the best solution now.

"There's a better way," Donghua suggested. "I'll marry A'ruan. With my merits and virtues, Mo Yuan's remaining soul will surely recover faster."

"You wish." Zhe Yan immediately dismissed Donghua's thoughts. "You hit me so hard just now that you almost ripped my tail feathers off. Besides trying to discredit you in front of Ruan Ruan, didn't you see through the conspiracy between Mo Yuan and me to stop you?"

Donghua's expression grew even colder: "You're so brave to admit it."

The reason why the two of them dared to say this was naturally because Jiang Ruan was not around.

Jiang Ruan walked into the stone chamber at this time. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to come in and take a look.

When she saw Mo Yuan, neatly dressed and lying on the bed, her heart stagnated, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

It sounded like a sigh, and also like a lament, but without the sadness or fear of death.

She noticed that this seemed to be Mo Yuan's emotion.

"Is this how all gods view death?" Jiang Ruan asked softly.

There is no fear of death, only living beings.

She seemed to sense something and walked to the bed, the strange emotion in her heart becoming stronger.

She didn't know how to describe this emotion, she only knew that she was more determined to practice medicine in the future, or in other words, as long as it was for the benefit of all living beings, she was willing to do it.

That night she had a dream.

In the dream, Mo Yuan stood in front of a cliff. He turned around and asked her, "If the world becomes like this in the future, and you are the only one who can save it, would you be willing?"

Jiang Ruan walked forward and saw that the scene below the cliff was like an endless hell, with a sea of purgatory fire burning everything to ashes.
