Chapter 1341: Has Lu Yang Really Come Back to Life?

Lu Yang's story is very long, long enough that three days and three nights wouldn't be enough to finish it, and Xia He listened quietly, her eyes full of Lu Yang's lively and spirited demeanor.

From Lu Yang's description, Xia He learned how vast and magnificent the Cultivation Realm is, and also how rich and colorful Lu Yang's experiences over these years have been.

Over these years, Lu Yang has encountered many dangers, but Xia He noticed that when Lu Yang talks about these experiences, he remains excited and delighted, showing that he is very satisfied with his experiences over these years.

It's a pity that the one accompanying Lu Yang is not me.

"Hungry? I'll have someone bring you something to eat." Xia He said, though it wasn't Lu Yang who was hungry—it was her.

Suddenly, Xia He froze, realizing the problem.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled.

Xia He pointed at her own pretty face, somewhat flustered: "Now that I look like this, will they still recognize me?"

If the security personnel knew Xia He had returned to youth, even with the best composure they would panic; even if they could confirm her identity through fingerprint and genetic comparison, it would certainly not be a peaceful process.

"Then I'll change you back to your original appearance." Lu Yang teased, even pinching his throat to mimic Xia He's earlier voice: "Lu Yang, I'm dying."

"Don't learn that!" Xia He angrily punched Lu Yang, her fists soft and weak, with no strength.

"Don't hit, don't hit, let me think of a solution." Lu Yang quickly admitted defeat.

"Got it."

Not long after, Lu Yang took out a piece of jade with exquisite patterns from his identity jade pendant.

"This is the small gift that Tao Shimei gave me earlier; she is skilled in illusionary arts, and this jade is engraved with illusionary formation patterns. After wearing it, outsiders will still think you look like your original self."

"That miraculous?"

Xia He put on the jade, looked in the mirror, and indeed she had turned back into the appearance of an old woman, her voice also becoming hoarse; removing the jade pendant restored her original state.

Only then did Xia He feel relieved to call the nanny to bring up some food.

When the nanny saw Xia He, she froze, not understanding when Xia He had returned home, but she dared not ask, so she just obediently cooked.

"Bring some more oil and water." Xia He instructed, usually she could only drink a bowl of millet porridge, but now she had returned to her youthful self, and her appetite was great.

The nanny trembled, sorrow welling up from her heart—this day had finally come, Elder Xia had experienced a brief revival before death.

She resolved to stake everything, to perform at her best in life, and let Elder Xia enjoy his last meal well.

"Did she misunderstand something?" Xia He wondered when she returned, having never seen the nanny look so determined.

Lu Yang only chuckled secretly beside her, not exposing her—this silly girl really hadn't changed, looking sharp but actually quite foolish.

"By the way, do you know where Bai Shuang is?" Lu Yang asked about the whereabouts of Lan Xing's will.

Lan Xing's will, Bai Shuang—this name was given by Lu Yang.

"Bai Shuang? I haven't seen her for a while."

Since Xia He is the person Lu Yang trusts most, after Lu Yang's past life self-detonation on Ling Shi Star, Bai Shuang returned to Lan Xing, immediately found Xia He, delivered the bad news, and hoped Xia He would organize an army to exterminate the zombies.

Afterwards, Xia He rebuilt Lan Xing, also with Bai Shuang's help; through this back-and-forth, plus Lu Yang's connection, Xia He became a rare close friend of Bai Shuang.

"She said she wanted to find a way to save me, and then she disappeared, never to be seen again." Xia He sighed, wishing she could tell Bai Shuang the good news that Lu Yang is still alive.

As the will of the planet, Bai Shuang comes and goes without trace; she has always been the one to seek out Xia He, and Xia He has no way to contact Bai Shuang.

This puts Lu Yang in a difficult position—he can find Gu Yu, because the high echelons of the Zhu Tian Civilization all know of Gu Yu's existence; with torture and interrogation, it's easy to learn Gu Yu's whereabouts.

But Bai Shuang is very shy; it's estimated that on the vast Lan Xing, only Xia He knows of Bai Shuang's existence, making her hard to find.

However, Lu Yang didn't think too much about it—Bai Shuang is seeking a way to save Xia He, and whether or not she succeeds, she will eventually come to find Xia He.

After another half month or so, during this period Lu Yang stayed by Xia He's side, visiting the history museum, the former battlefield, the library to see how history evaluates Lu Yang, sharing memories of their end-times experiences bit by bit; when mentioning hardships, the two exchanged a knowing smile.

"Was it you who concealed the matter of the original pathogen?" Lu Yang asked, since their acquaintance began when Xia He entered the dangerous zombie zone to investigate the virus source.

However, the historical records state that no trace of the virus source was found.

Xia He smiled brightly: "You are the hero of Lan Xing, and also the faith of all humanity during that time; faith must be without blemish."

Lu Yang nodded slightly, saying nothing.

"Can you summon that immortal inside your body to meet me?" Xia He asked curiously; in Lu Yang's narration, the one most frequently mentioned is this female immortal.

"How could this immortal be seen by a mere mortal like you whenever you wish?" Though she said so, the Immortal Maiden still emerged from Lu Yang's body, huffing and glaring at Xia He, finding her displeasing from every angle.

Xiao Yangzi spends all day clinging to her, rarely talking to her anymore.

"Greetings, Senior Immortal; thank you for always taking care of Lu Yang." Xia He performed an ancient ritual, quite standard, which she had learned specially from Lu Yang—she got it right on the first try.

Earlier, Lu Yang had wondered why Xia He was interested in the ancient etiquette of the Cultivation Realm—could it be precisely for this moment?

Xia He's attitude made the Immortal Maiden quite pleased, proudly humming two lines: "What's there to thank? Xiao Yangzi is after all my person; caring for him is only natural."

"Senior, your title is 'Immortal,' eternal and everlasting, carefree and at ease, yet you struggle to reform your immortal body and must reside in Lu Yang's mental space—truly a grievance for the senior."

The Immortal Maiden was startled—how could she feel that this little girl's words had hidden meaning?

After hearing Lu Yang's story, Xia He felt something indescribably strange, sensing that this Immortal Senior was not quite right, though this was merely her intuition, a casual remark.

Xia He's bodyguards knew of the mysterious man by her side, remaining vigilant day and night, worried he might use Elder Xia to achieve some shameful secret.

Although Elder Xia is no longer in politics, her influence remains; a single word from her, and the high echelons of Lan Xing must take notice.

As for Xia He saying the mysterious man is Lu Yang, the bodyguards naturally didn't believe it, even if Lu Yang had displayed inhuman divine skills at the history museum.

Though called bodyguards, they are actually soldiers sent by Lan Xing's high echelons to protect Xia He; they reported Lu Yang's information to Lan Xing's high echelons, who all remained silent.

The reason is simple—they still have a report from the director of the Space Bureau.

In the satellite photos, the figure sailing a small boat through the universe is exactly the same as the mysterious man beside Xia He.

"Is the man by Elder Xia's side truly General Lu?"

The high echelons of Lan Xing reacted differently, yet all unanimously chose to seal this matter as top secret, refusing to visit the resurrected Lu Yang and the approaching end of Elder Xia.
