Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

The weather is great today and the sun is warm.

While Jiang Ruan was drying the herbs, Su Jin came to visit the Ten-Mile Peach Forest.

She still looks like a child and hasn't grown up at all in almost twenty years.

Jiang Ruan put down the herbs in her hand and went to meet the little girl with double buns. She asked curiously, "Why would Empress Le Xu let you leave the Heavenly Palace alone?"

Although Le Xu was pregnant, she treated Su Jin as if she had no control over her, but she always provided her with food and clothing and would never let her leave the Heavenly Palace alone.

Su Jin pursed her lips and said seriously, "There's something only you can help me with."

Seeing Su Jin's serious face, Jiang Ruan also became serious: "What's the matter?"

Su Jin was about to speak, but she saw a circle of red fingerprints on Jiang Ruan's fair wrist as her sleeve slipped down. She immediately became angry!

Just then, Zhe Yan came up behind them. His handsome face was beaming with joy as he jokingly said, "Little Su Jin? What brings you to my Ten Mile Peach Forest?"

"A gust of black wind!" The young girl had a stern face and pulled Jiang Ruan behind her to protect her. Although she could not protect her whole body, her aura still retained the style of the War Clan.

Zhe Yan was stunned, puzzled by Yu Sujin's attack: "Ruan Ruan, did this little guy take the wrong medicine today?"

Ruan Ruan and Su Jin have always had a good relationship. This little guy must have been making trouble because of Ruan Ruan.

Glaring at Zhe Yan fiercely, Su Jin demanded, "Let me ask you this! Jiang Ruan is temporarily staying at your Ten Mile Peach Forest, so why are you bullying her?"

Jiang Ruan was stunned, and looked down at the clear markings on her fair wrist under the sunlight...

Her recent life has indeed been rather absurd, and last night's hot spring experience was even more...

Understanding why Su Jin was angry, Zhe Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You are really wronging me. How dare I bully Ruan Ruan? You are a little kid who knows nothing. You should go back to the Heavenly Palace to find your Queen Le Xu."

Su Jin frowned coldly: "I know a lot! At least I know that if a person gets hit, bruises will appear on his body!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Ruan's hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her glowing white skin and the red fingerprints on her wrist, grabbing the evidence for Zhe Yan to see.

"Look! This is your evidence! It's irrefutable. Let's see how you can still argue!"

Looking at the red mark, Zhe Yan approached and took Jiang Ruan's hand from Su Jin. His amorous eyes stared at the particularly conspicuous fingerprints and he said in annoyance, "I didn't know the seriousness of the matter."

Jiang Ruan abruptly pulled her hand back, a blush appearing on her beautiful face, even her ears were dyed crimson, and she said angrily, "What are you talking about?!"

The marks on the wrist only looked heavy, but they didn't actually feel that bad. It was just that Jiang Ruan's skin was extremely delicate and would turn red when touched.

"He just doesn't know the seriousness of the matter!" Su Jin firmly rebuked Zhe Yan and tugged on Jiang Ruan's sleeve, reminding her, "Don't speak for him! Ten Mile Peach Forest treated you so harshly, and even forced you to work outside drying herbs despite your injuries. We must demand an explanation from him!"

Zhe Yan looked at Su Jin with great interest: "How do you plan to ask me for an explanation?"

Su Jin: "I sincerely apologize!"

Zheyan nodded in a sociable manner: "Of course."

Su Jin thought again: "Don't bully Jiang Ruan anymore!"

Zhe Yan smiled and said, "I will definitely be more sensible from now on."

Seeing Zhe Yan's good attitude, Su Jin said the last sentence with a serious face: "How did you hit Jiang Ruan? So you have to make Jiang Ruan hit you back!"

Zheyan looked at Jiang Ruan and said meaningfully, "As I should."

Jiang Ruan: “…”

Jiang Ruan felt like he was about to catch fire!

She quickly pulled Su Jin over and, with a mature face, pulled her into the cabin: "Didn't you say you had something important to talk to me about? Let's go inside and talk!"

Su Jin, who was being dragged away, was puzzled: "My business is important, but your business is not important? We should take revenge first..."

"Revenge... I can take it anytime!" Jiang Ruan was embarrassed and irritated. "I think your matter is more important!"

Hearing that Jiang Ruan had come back again, Su Jin gave up the idea of avenging her and followed her into the wooden house.

Watching the figures of the two entering the house, the smile on Zheyan's face faded. He stared at Su Jin's small figure, recalling his old friend, and said with emotion, "It seems there's hope for Yaoguang's resurrection as well."

In the room, Jiang Ruan poured a cup of hot tea for Su Jin who was sitting on the couch.

Su Jin told Jiang Ruan, "Today I went to see Empress Le Xu and asked her to let me go to the Ruoshui River to pay my respects to my parents and my clansmen. Empress Le Xu agreed, but when I was paying my respects by the Ruoshui River, a tiny wisp of residual soul floated into my palm."

Su Jin said, "It's from the Goddess Yaoguang."

"The remnant spirit of the Supreme God has been lying at the bottom of the Weak Water River. Today, he heard my movements and, relying on his survival instinct, he followed the sound and found me."

As she spoke, Su Jin took out a magic bottle and opened it, letting Jiang Ruan see the white light inside.

Yaoguang is the embodiment of the greatest light in the world. The remnant soul left after the war between the Celestial Clan and the Wing Clan is so weak...

Jiang Ruan asked Su Jin: "What should we do?"

Su Jin said, "My Su Jin clan has a magical weapon called the Soul-Binding Lamp. Put the remnant soul of the Supreme Goddess Yaoguang into it and let it recuperate and recover within the lamp. Over time, it will surely be able to return to the four seas and eight wildernesses!"

"It's just that the Soul-Binding Lamp was placed in my mother's coffin as a burial object. If you want to take it out, you have to open the coffin."

Opening the coffin would disturb the souls of Su Jin's parents in heaven.

Jiang Ruan asked Su Jin: "What do you think?"

"We need to open the coffin." Su Jin said firmly, "This is the only way to wake up the Goddess Yaoguang. I think my parents will agree with me doing this."

"But I'm still young. If I go to the Wuwang Sea alone, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Empress Le Xu. I need someone that the Heavenly Palace dare not offend to accompany me."

Su Jin looked at Jiang Ruan, "The Celestial Palace is very good at playing two-faced and using favors to repay favors. If they knew that the remnant soul of the Supreme Goddess Yaoguang was in my hands, I'm afraid they would go with me to the Wuwang Sea, put the Supreme Goddess Yaoguang in the Soul-Binding Lamp, and take her to the Celestial Palace for worship day and night. By then, the Supreme Goddess Yaoguang would be bound to the Celestial Clan for the rest of her life because of this favor."

"Nowadays, Supreme God Zheyan doesn't easily come to the Heavenly Palace, and he certainly won't go to the Wuwang Sea. Emperor Donghua can't see him with my status, so now the only one I can find is you."

Jiang Ruan understood: "I will go to Wuwang Sea with you."

Her identity is special, and no one dares to say anything when she is around.

When Jiang Ruan arrived at Wuwang Sea with Su Jin, he did not follow Su Jin in.

That was the grave of Su Jin's parents, and it would be inappropriate for her to be by Su Jin's side when she opened the coffin.

Soon, Su Jin came out holding a crystal clear lamp. Jiang Ruan handed the box to her, and Su Jin carefully placed the lit lamp in the box.

She looked at the Soul-Binding Lamp with a firm look in her eyes: "I will protect this lamp and I will also protect the Supreme Goddess Yaoguang."

Jiang Ruan looked at the Soul-Binding Lamp, which was emitting light and the burning flame was shaking slightly.

That was Yaoguang’s response.
