Chapter 340 The Dead Resurrected
As soon as the phantom of the red spider lily appeared, Tian Xin suddenly opened her eyes, but they were still lifeless, making her look like a puppet.
But then the spider lilies in front of her body began to wither and fall one by one.
The petals of the red spider lily are very delicate. As each petal falls, the vibrant red color dances slowly in the air. The petals fall more and more, becoming finer and finer, truly resembling a rain of flowers.
"Wandering souls of the other shore, return to the void!" Qian San roared again.
The petals of the spider lily suddenly accelerated their descent, instantly covering the entire ground of the ninth level of the Imprisoning Immortal Tower.
The ground was covered with the beautiful yet desolate petals of the other shore, and the hall floor was covered with a layer of cool and bright red.
Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery, and even Bai Ke murmured to himself as he gazed at the poignant rain of petals:
"Absolutely stunning..."
As the last petal of the red spider lily fell, Tian Xin's body slowly descended into the hall, and her beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly regained their brilliance.
"It's done." Liu San touched his forehead, where there was no sweat, and said excitedly.
Tian Xin was finally successfully resurrected. Upon regaining her senses, the first thing she did was to spread her arms out in a defensive stance.
After she had taken a clear look at her surroundings, she suddenly felt very tired, panting heavily as she looked around.
Her gaze swept over Qian San, and she was immediately terrified, her hair standing on end. She shrank back, wondering if another enemy had appeared.
Finally, her gaze settled on Bai Ke, but she suddenly paused, rushed forward, and hugged him tightly, asking urgently:
"How are you? Are you alright? Did I fail? Did you successfully use your supernatural powers? Who was that lewd young man?"
Faced with Tian Xin's numerous questions, Bai Ke simply smiled faintly, gently patted her back, and answered softly:
"Don't worry, Aunt Tianxin, I've taken care of everything here. There's no danger anymore. You saved us with your life. You're a great hero."
"Me? I saved you with my life?" Tian Xin pointed to her nose, her face filled with disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice:
"What are you talking about? Am I already dead? Is this the afterlife?"
"Don't overthink it, I'll explain it to you slowly, here's what happened..."
Bai Ke recounted to Tian Xin how she risked her life to hold them off.
Of course, some content that is unfavorable to white-hat hackers has been omitted and has undergone some "artistic processing".
"...And then, you were resurrected."
Tian Xin listened, stunned and her heart trembling.
Unexpectedly, she had already died once, and in the end, Bai Ke used the Miaoyu Immortal Token to bring her back to life.
Thinking of this, she felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes sparkling with tenderness. She stared at Bai Ke with a complex expression, and after a long while, she uttered two words in a heavy tone: "Thank you!"
"Why thank me? We should be thanking you. Without you, we would all be dead at that old man's hands." Bai Ke shook his head, put his hand on Tian Xin's shoulder, and continued:
"Aunt Tianxin, you're so foolish. You wanted to use yourself as bait from the beginning, to buy yourself a moment's time with your life, right? Sigh, why did you do that? It was too extreme!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Xin silently lowered her head, her eyes already glistening with tears.
She seemed hesitant for a moment, but finally bit her lip, raised her head, and said:
“I’ve been a burden all this way, not only unable to help you, but also needing you to take care of me. I want to do my part, I… I just want to prove that I am useful too.”
"Sigh, we didn't pay attention to these little things. It's not your fault, understand? Fortunately, in the end, everyone was happy, and we successfully snatched you back from the clutches of death."
Bai Ke put on an expression of extreme heartache, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was genuinely moved by Tian Xin's presence.
But in reality, the people who witnessed the entire event – Feng Yu, Lin Yun, Qian San, and others – all had a black line on their faces.
They had witnessed Bai Ke's cruel and ruthless face firsthand, and were now secretly cursing him in their hearts.
Tian Xin nodded with deep emotion, touched her shoulder with a sense of relief, and said with mixed feelings:
"So this is what death feels like... It feels like falling into a dark abyss in an instant. No matter how much I cry for help or struggle, there is no response. Only deep fear and helplessness accompany me, and I am in unbearable pain."
"Hehe, just think of this experience as a not-so-pleasant but profound memory! After all, how many people throughout history have been able to walk through the gates of hell and return safely like you?" Bai Ke teased.
"Sigh, that's true. But I still love the feeling of being alive, of having real physical sensations, of being able to hear my own breathing, of being able to truly feel this world. Living like this... is wonderful!"
Tian Xin covered her hands, closed her eyes, and silently felt her life and body that she had regained. The gloom that Bai Ke had cast over her suddenly lifted.
Bai Ke remained silent, simply smiling as he quietly observed Tian Xin, though inwardly he was impatiently thinking:
"Sigh, I should have just let her die. That woman is such a wimp. In this kind of environment, she still has the leisure to contemplate herself. Damn it."
Moreover, the thought that Tian Xin might interfere in his and Ling Xin'er's relationship after returning to the sect made Bai Ke feel restless.
A wave of regret washed over him, and Bai Ke sighed helplessly. But on the surface, he put on a relieved expression and looked at Tian Xin with admiration.
"Um... beautiful lady, may I interrupt you for a moment?" Qian San suddenly called out.
"Ok?"
Tian Xin looked at Qian San with a puzzled expression.
She learned Qian San's identity from Bai Ke, but what she didn't understand was why Qian San was shouting for no reason, ruining such a good atmosphere with his shout.
"Ahem, young hero, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor," Qian San said, rubbing his hands together and looking at Bai Ke with a lewd expression.
"explain."
Bai Ke narrowed his eyes, his face calm and collected, though he could guess what Qian San wanted to say.
"Look, this beautiful lady, I've completely revived her. I'm still in a bit of trouble, could you help me out?" Qian San said with a fawning expression.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ke suddenly laughed, a laugh as eerie as the one he had when he tortured and killed the old man…
