Chapter 16 The Blue Silver Kingdom, the God of Life!
Rewind time.
Lake of Life, core area.
Brigitte, holding a Blue Silver Grass with shimmering golden patterns, quickly approached Gu Yuena.
"My lord, this is a return gift from Mr. Lin."
Gu Yuena opened her elegant purple eyes and her gaze fell on the Blue Silver Grass.
She reached out her slender hand and took it.
Upon acquiring the Blue Silver Grass, a gentle and pure sense of affinity immediately arises.
The life energy it contains is extremely pure and has a powerful healing effect.
More importantly, she could sense a familiar aura emanating from this blade of grass.
That was the unique scent of forestry, domineering yet full of vitality.
Gu Yuena brought the Blue Silver Grass to her nose and took a gentle sniff.
A refreshing scent of herbs and trees soothed her long-tense nerves.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a faint yet captivating smile.
Those beautiful purple eyes also softened considerably.
...
Inside the treehouse.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Suddenly, Arou clutched her chest and coughed violently, a trickle of bright red blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
"Mother!"
Xiao Wu was shocked when she saw this and quickly stepped forward to support her.
How are you?
"fine..."
Arou waved her hand, using her soul power to calm her surging blood and qi, but her face turned even paler.
"It's just some old problems."
She leaned against the window, looking at the peaceful and serene Blue Silver Kingdom outside, a hint of weariness and emotion in her eyes.
"Staying outside, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, there is never any peace."
"Those human soul masters will stop at nothing to obtain our soul rings and soul bones."
"Over the years, I've lost count of how many assassination attempts I've survived."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried a deep weariness.
"Each time, even if I manage to escape by luck, I will always be left with some wounds that are difficult to heal."
"Over time, my body has become riddled with holes."
Xiao Wu's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to her mother's words.
She knew that her mother had put herself in danger time and time again to protect her.
Arou reached out and lovingly stroked Xiaowu's hair, then suddenly changed the subject.
"Xiao Wu".
"Have you... fallen for that Mr. Lin?"
Xiao Wu's body stiffened abruptly, her pretty face flushed bright red, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"No...no! Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Her voice was urgent and rapid, but it seemed more like an attempt to cover up the truth.
Looking at her daughter's expression, Arou immediately understood.
She simply smiled gently and didn't press the matter further.
As someone who's been through it all, she could tell from just one glance what the light was shining in Xiaowu's eyes when she looked at Lin Ye.
It was a light mixed with worship, gratitude and adoration.
These days, when my daughter is bored, what she talks about most is when that "big brother" will come to visit them again.
Ah Rou had already made up her mind.
If we could entrust Xiao Wu to someone like Mr. Lin.
Then I could finally relax completely.
Moreover, there's a saying in the human world: "A drop of water in need deserves a spring in return."
Mr. Lin saved their lives and gave them a second chance at life. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for Xiao Wu to repay this kindness with her body.
Seeing that her mother didn't speak, Xiao Wu became even more flustered and muttered softly.
"Mr. Lin is so powerful, and so...so handsome, how could he possibly be interested in me?"
Her voice carried a hint of a young girl's inferiority complex and inner turmoil.
Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly raised her head, grasped Arou's hand, and said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Mom, please don't say such discouraging things!"
"Mr. Lin is so strong, and he also possesses such a powerful life force!"
"He definitely has a way to cure you! He definitely does!"
"I'm going to find him right now!"
"No matter the cost, I will make sure you live!"
After saying that, Xiao Wu could no longer hold back and turned to run out of the treehouse.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the canopy of a towering ancient tree.
The immense life energy and the power of heaven and earth converged on his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked down.
A pink figure stood somewhat awkwardly under the tree, looking up at him.
She was a lively, charming, and exquisitely beautiful young girl.
But at this moment, a deep sorrow lingered between her brows.
Lin Ye's figure appeared silently in front of Xiao Wu.
"What's up?"
His voice remained as calm as ever.
When Xiao Wu saw him, half of her initial courage vanished instantly.
She twisted the hem of her clothes, lowered her head, and became quite reserved.
"I...I..."
She stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Lin Ye watched her quietly, seeing through her, but saying nothing.
He waited a moment, and seeing that Xiao Wu still showed no intention of speaking, he said:
"If there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work."
After saying that, he prepared to turn and leave.
"Don't go!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu, in a moment of panic, disregarded her shyness and reached out to grab Lin Ye's sleeve.
Lin Ye stopped and turned to look at her.
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed under his gaze, but she mustered all her courage, raised her large, watery ruby eyes, and asked eagerly:
"Mr. Lin! Big brother!"
"Do you...do you have any way to cure my mother?"
Lin Ye's gaze was calm as still water, settling on Xiao Wu's pretty face, which was filled with anxiety.
He could sense the fear and unease she felt at that moment.
"There is a way, though."
The forestry expert spoke slowly.
Xiao Wu's large, ruby-like eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really?!"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she were about to cry tears of joy.
"Big brother, do you really have a way to save my mother?"
Lin Ye nodded slightly.
"However, there's some trouble."
He looked at Xiao Wu and continued.
"The wounds on Arou's body are old wounds accumulated over many years of fighting with human soul masters, which have long penetrated into her bone marrow and soul."
"Eradicating this problem will not be accomplished overnight."
"You can't rush it."
"No rush, no rush!"
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, afraid that Lin Ye would change his mind.
"As long as it can be cured, we don't care how long it takes! We can wait!"
The flame of hope was rekindled in her heart.
Overwhelmed with joy, she momentarily lost herself in the moment and completely relaxed.
She then realized that she was still tightly holding onto Lin Ye's sleeve, and that the two of them were so close that she could almost feel each other's breath.
Two captivating blushes instantly rose on her pretty face.
She subconsciously let go of his hand, took half a step back, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look Lin Ye in the eye.
