I saw Wen Yuniang holding a tea cup, her thoughts flying far away.

"Do you know? The location here is very good, the ground veins are very shallow, and the spiritual energy is abundant. Maybe there are not many such good spiritual enlightenment places in the entire Blue Star..."

"I was born with consciousness more than seventy years ago. When I was born, I didn't understand anything. I just silently observed the townspeople in Qingcha Ancient Town, watching them grow old, sick, and die, and experience all the ups and downs in life."

"I was just instinctively accumulating strength. It was not until more than forty years ago that Kong Huaicai and his party were attacked by demons. He fell into the lake and died by a thread..."

"I looked through his memories curiously. At the moment before he died, all he thought about were his family and the people he cared about. He was eager to live, but his body sank deeper and deeper into the lake, and the blood

The lake water is dyed red, just like his life that is constantly passing away..."

Ren Jie tilted his head and looked at Wen Yuniang, listening carefully to what she said.

Wen Yuniang continued: "I couldn't bear him to die like this, and wanted to fulfill his wish to reunite with his family, so... I saved him..."

"I was still very weak at that time. Saving Kong Huai took up a lot of my strength, and my true spirit almost disappeared because of it..."

"Kong Huaicai knew how to be grateful. He built a shrine and held sacrifices every year. I really like the feeling of being thanked, which makes me feel that I really exist."

"But I can't fulfill everyone's wishes, let alone save everyone. I'm still very weak, just observing the town and silently learning everything about the human world."

Ren Jie frowned: "So all this lasted until three years ago?"

Wen Yuniang looked down at her jade-white hands: "Yes..."

"Xiao Yi's mother suffered from ALS and was unable to save her life, so she walked into the lake and placed all her hopes on the lake god. I wanted to save her..."

"But at that time, I was at the most critical moment of condensing my spirit. I couldn't mobilize my power at all. I could only watch her drown in the lake, unable to save her..."

> "I think that everyone is mortal. Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature. This is nothing. It's just following the laws of nature..."

"But this kid Xiao Yi is here. He goes to the lake every day to wait... waiting for his mother to come home, waiting for a miracle to happen, rain or shine..."

Ren Jie's heart also trembled. In fact, at this point, Wen Yuniang had already told herself the answer.

The real Wen Yuniang has actually...

Wen Yuniang continued:

"But in this world... there will be no miracles in the end. If that's the case, then I will give him this miracle."

"So, I possessed the newly formed spirit spirit onto Wen Yuniang's body, stepped out of the lake, and gave Xiao Yi a mother..."

"I also integrated into the town as Wen Yuniang and began to prepare for my spiritual enlightenment. This...is the answer you want..."

Ren Jie fell silent, looking at the still Tianjing Lake with deep eyes.

Did Hu Ling do something wrong?

She did nothing wrong, she just didn't want to disappoint the expectations of a child who lost his mother.

It's just like the lie I told Guagua.

After all...Ren Jie and Hu Ling are the same kind of people.

At this moment, what the three of them didn't know was...

Zhou Xiaoyi secretly ran to the door of Wen Yuniang's room, peeked through the crack in the door, and looked at the empty bed with red eyes.

After wiping her eyes, she returned to her room and tilted her head to look at the photo of mother and son on the bedside table. The smiles on their faces were as bright as flowers.

Zhou Xiaoyi lay on the bed, tucked himself into the quilt, curled up into a ball with the baby in his arms, tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, but he clenched his teeth.

There was no cry from the lower lip.

On the terrace, Lianxiang looked at Wen Yuniang and sighed.

"I'll give you a piece of advice. A lie often requires more lies to make up for it. If you get stuck too deep, the only one who can't get out will be you..."

Wen Yuniang just lowered her head and remained silent, looking at the tea stem standing up in the teacup without saying a word.

Ren Jie took a deep breath:

"What will happen to those who drink the lake water? Will they die?"

"Can you control their life or death?"

Wen Yuniang did not deny it: "Actually, I do not have the ability to make people immortal. My lake water contains huge power of life, and water is the source of life."

"After drinking the lake water, the huge vitality contained in the lake water will stimulate the cells in the body and keep them in optimal functional condition, so people will regain their youth."

"70% of the human body is water. For people who drink lake water, the lake water will replace the water in their bodies and support their activities. Every piece of lake water that is drunk can be regarded as a part of me."

Ren Jie shuddered hard: "So... you can not only take back the effect of the Holy Fountain of Youth, but also dehydrate the human body and turn it into dried meat?"

Once the human body loses all water, how can it survive?

Sure enough! Everyone who drank the lake water was Wen Yuniang’s hostage.

Wen Yuniang nodded: "Under normal circumstances, this is the case, but it does not rule out that some powerful genetic warriors can use all special means to block my control of the lake water."

"But no matter what method you use, as long as you are more than ten kilometers away from me, the effect of the lake will completely disappear."

"And... when condensing the soul, I need to pour all my strength into the soul, and then I will not be able to control the lake water."

"

I may be able to control their bodies, but I can't control people's minds. You're right, I underestimated people's hearts after all."

Ren Jie raised his eyebrows: "I think... you seem to be pessimistic about spiritual enlightenment? You haven't even started yet, and you're asking me to support you?"

Lianxiang smiled proudly, lowered her bamboo hat, and smiled evilly:

(?ˉ??ˉ??) "She can't influence people's thoughts, but I can, and it will depend on how I make you humans so sweet that you don't want them anymore. Every one of them will salivate over this girl, and they will be willing to die for me.

Fight, even sacrifice your life!"

The corner of Ren Jie's mouth twitched: "What's going on? Cut yourself up and stir fry it to make a plate of stir-fried pork with mushrooms. Do you want to make us fragrant?"

The smile on Lianxiang's face froze, and the veins on her forehead popped.

"Hmph! Ignorant human being, you have no idea how powerful I am, why don't you just wait and see?"

But Wen Yuniang raised her hand and pressed it down, then turned to look at Ren Jie:

"How about it? Do you agree? If I die and fail to complete the spiritual enlightenment journey, help me take care of Xiao Yi. I won't let you do it in vain. When the time comes, I will give you everything I have."

"As for whether you want to stay or not, it's up to you..."

Ren Jie grinned:

"This alone... doesn't seem to be enough? I have already said that I am not a good person, and I will fight for what I want."

Wen Yuniang smiled bitterly: "I know what you want. You are here to find an answer, right?"

"Promise me, and I will take you to see the answer you want..."

Only then did Ren Jie smile with satisfaction and stretched out his little finger towards Wen Yuniang:
Chapter completed!
