Lanxi Village

“Ah! It hurts…it hurts so much!”

It was as if countless flames were burning within her body, and Li Nian felt as if she had been thrown into a blazing furnace. The flames licked her skin, like boiling magma raging through her blood, and the immense pain made her tremble uncontrollably.

"Li Nian, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Jiang Yuxia stared at Li Nian closely, as if he was in great pain. No matter how much she called, he wouldn't wake up. In desperation, Jiang Yuxia reached out her hand:

"Pa pa pa, wake up!"

His consciousness gradually became clear, the burning sensation seemed to recede like the tide, the shouting in his ears became louder and louder, his thoughts seemed to be pushed out by an invisible force, every sense became sharp, and the clear consciousness was like a sharp blade cutting through the darkness. Li Nian slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, those eyes seemed to be filled with light.

Li Nian slowly sat up straight, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils suddenly shook.

The person in front of me had two small buns on her head and was wearing a dark blue linen dress. Sunlight from outside was shining in, and she was enveloped in this light. Her childish face and clear, transparent eyes were filled with concern and worry.

Jiang Yuxia looked at Li Nian's face full of shock and pain, and shook her body anxiously, as if to wake her up.

The person in front of him was actually Jiang Yuxia in his childhood!

Li Nian felt as if he had been electrocuted. He quickly lowered his head to look at his hands. They were short, round, and plump, like lotus roots. These... were clearly the hands of a child.

Could it be a last gasp of life, allowing her to see Jiang Yuxia one last time before she died? Li Nian stared at her intently, afraid that if he turned his gaze away, she would disappear again.

Seeing Li Nian looking at her like this, Jiang Yuxia looked away as if she was guilty, and said hurriedly: "I didn't mean to slap you. You can't wake me up no matter how much you yell, so I have no choice but to do this."

No...that's not right. Li Nian hurriedly grabbed her hand. The touch felt real. It was not her fantasy. It was real, the living Jiang Yuxia.

Did she go back to the past and be reborn?

Looking around at the familiar house, Li Nian smiled knowingly, a smile that was both painful and hopeful. He had returned to the past, but why? Why not just return to the modern world? The world before him only brought him despair and pain.

Yes, Li Nian had traveled here from the modern era and had already lived a lifetime in this world of cultivation. She had already been reborn twice, and it was unclear whether the heavens were punishing her or saving her. Now that she had returned here, was she to relive the pain of her past life?

Lanxi Village was brutally massacred, and the old man's life or death was unknown. He was taken back to Tianyan Sect and met the number one immortal respected by everyone in the cultivation world... When I thought of him, my heart seemed to be tightened, and every breath was painful, as if even the air was filled with glass fragments.

Jiang Yuxia looked at Li Nian's trembling fingertips, his body was as stiff as a dead tree, his eyes were full of despair, and his whole body exuded an indescribable dead silence!

"Hey! Li Nian, why are you so sad? I just secretly ate your millet cake at noon. If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten it! Come on, I'll go to the town and buy it for you."

Li Nian was stunned when he heard this, staring at her blankly. A little joy welled up in his heart. At least... at least he could come back here. Jiang Yuxia was still here, the old man was still here, and even his senior brothers and sisters were all well.

Since she was starting over again, she would never let what happened in her previous life happen again. She would protect Jiang Yuxia and the people around her.

Thinking of this, Li Nian hurriedly grabbed the person who was about to rush to buy millet cakes, grinned widely, his eyes full of joy, and said as in his previous life: "No need, no need, I am not such a stingy person!"

Jiang Yuxia looked at her face carefully, and only after confirming that she really didn't want it did she let out a sigh of relief and said quietly, "You really scared me. You suddenly became so strange. Did you dream something?"

"Yes, I dreamed of you. You secretly ate a lot of my delicious food, even taking it away." Thinking about the things that happened in the past life, isn't it a nightmare or even more terrifying?

"Stop it. I ate your millet cake just this once. What happened?" Jiang Yuxia rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"No, it's just a dream. Don't worry about it. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." Li Nian didn't expect Yu Xia to be so perceptive. Afraid that she would see something, he hurried to divert her attention.

"Okay! If you have any problems, don't keep them to yourself. Tell me and we can solve them together." Then he got up and left.

Li Nian looked at the furnishings in the room quietly, then lowered his eyes, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Tianyan Sect thousands of miles away

He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, his dark robe draped naturally at his sides, sleeves moving without a breeze. After a moment, his eyes slowly opened, looking towards Tianji Chen beside him. After seeing clearly, his pupils sank slightly.

"The divination has changed so much, I don't know whether it is a joy or a sorrow. Well, fate is unpredictable." After saying this, he closed his eyes again, as if the unusual movement just now had not happened.
