Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Lord Xie Has Come to Collect Me?
He Qi’an frowned, "A call from my family?"
Lin Fu: "Yes, your dad called this morning to ask about Yanyan’s situation. At the time, I was still confused and said, isn’t Yanyan doing well..."
Lin Mu chimed in, "I’ve been feeling terribly anxious these past few days, as if something was about to happen.
I kept making video calls to Yanyan, but they were all hung up. Then I saw a reply from Yanyan, and I felt relieved.
Now that I think about it, Xiao Nan, was it you who sent those messages?"
Nan Xi nodded awkwardly, "Yes, auntie... I’m sorry..."
Lin Mu gently patted Nan Xi’s shoulder, "I know you did it for our sake, to spare us from worrying. Auntie doesn’t blame you, so no need to apologize."
Upon hearing Lin Mu’s words, tears welled up in Nan Xi’s eyes.
"It’s my fault, I didn’t protect Yanyan well."
...
Lin Xiaoyan’s consciousness was in a haze, she didn’t know where she was.
It felt like she had many dreams, but couldn’t remember what they were about.
In her daze, she occasionally heard many voices around her.
Qi An, Xiao Bo, Nan Xi, Lin Feng, Xuan Shiyi, Xuan Er...
Later, she also heard the voices of her parents...
She heard the sound of her mother crying by her ear...
Then she heard her brother and sister-in-law’s voices...
And there’s An’an’s voice too!
But then she heard nothing, because she felt really uncomfortable.
It felt like she was about to explode, her body was in distress.
She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but her whole body felt uneasy.
Later, she seemed to return to the day she was caught and saw that White Snake.
However, the White Snake had changed, it now appeared in a mix of black and white.
Despite the change, Lin Xiaoyan immediately recognized it as the White Snake.
Then...
It was as if she were watching a movie, she saw the White Snake from the moment it hatched to its later growth... an entire lengthy process.
From the moment the White Snake hatched, it displayed its uniqueness.
Being the first to hatch, it didn’t immediately leave its birthplace, instead spiraled beside its eggshell, waiting for two days.
Its siblings hatched one after another, and the moment they did, the White Snake devoured them.
Out of twelve eggs, besides itself, it consumed nine siblings.
The other two were unhatched eggs.
After consuming its siblings, its body grew larger and stronger.
From then on, it left the eggshell and began to wander the mountains.
It ate insects, birds, mice, and others...
Year after year, the White Snake discovered a fruit, identical to the two fruits Lin Xiaoyan once saw in the cave.
But when the White Snake found it, there was only one fruit.
It swallowed the fruit.
After swallowing it, the White Snake curled up in the cave for a month.
A month later, Lin Xiaoyan noticed changes in the White Snake’s eyes.
It seemed to have gained consciousness, its behavior altered, and it learned to think.
And so, Lin Xiaoyan spent every moment watching the White Snake’s journey over the next eight hundred years...
Lin Xiaoyan felt on the verge of a breakdown; she didn’t want to keep being forced to watch the "Snake Growth Chronicles"!
She watched how the White Snake split its body into two, one becoming a completely black snake and the other a pure white jade snake, accelerating the White Snake’s advance.
Before long, until the White Snake was finally struck by lightning, she clearly saw two soul forms emerging from the bodies of the White and Black Snake.
They merged into one and transformed into a beam of light, gradually disappearing.
Watching that light disappear, Lin Xiaoyan felt a sense of relief; it was finally over.
Just as she was about to leave from beside the White Snake’s corpse, suddenly, she saw He Qi’an running over, panic-stricken.
Lin Xiaoyan: ???!!!
Then, she saw the previous scene again.
She saw how He Qi’an dissected the entire White Snake’s body to find her, eventually locating her at the snake’s head.
Then went to the hospital...
Lin Xiaoyan was a bit confused, she was now standing in front of her own hospital bed, watching her mother wipe her face.
Is she... dead?!!!
At the thought of this possibility, Lin Xiaoyan felt terrified.
So, what is her current state? Is she a spirit?
Lin Xiaoyan grew anxious, she attempted to return to her body but couldn’t, despite many tries.
What’s going on!
She can’t be stuck like this forever, right?
Wouldn’t her body become a vegetable now?
Lin Xiaoyan was very perplexed, as she stood beside and watched her family watch over her by day, and He Qi’an by night.
When no one was around, He Qi’an would talk to her, sharing many stories.
About his childhood, his school life, his time in the army...
"...I woke up one morning, and was shocked, I thought I wet the bed...
I didn’t want anyone to find out, so I secretly used wash..."
"Hahaha..."
Lin Xiaoyan burst into laughter listening to He Qi’an talk about his adolescent mishaps, tears nearly flowing from her eyes.
Who would have thought this man had such embarrassing stories?
"Lin Xiaoyan"
Lin Xiaoyan laughed so hard that tears were about to fall, her mind and eyes filled with that man who was massaging her.
"Lin Xiaoyan"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
Lin Xiaoyan, startled, turned around and saw...
"Lord Xie!"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the person... er, ghost, behind her, full of horror.
"You’re... here to take me to the Underworld?"
Lin Xiaoyan guessed, reluctantly glancing at He Qi’an beside her, she really didn’t want to die!
She finally understood why some ghosts lingered in the world, unwilling to leave, it was because there were those they couldn’t bear to part with.
Xie Wuchang looked at Lin Xiaoyan, then glanced at her lying on the hospital bed, and slowly walked over.
Looking down at Lin Xiaoyan lying on the bed, then at the Lin Xiaoyan standing beside, he asked, "What did you consume?"
Lin Xiaoyan paused, "Consume? I haven’t eaten anything, I encountered a supernatural White Snake trying to transform into a dragon, and it captured me..."
Lin Xiaoyan quickly narrated the events.
Xie Wuchang listened, then observed Lin Xiaoyan closely, "You must have consumed something, causing this condition now."
"Think carefully, I’ll go collect some ghosts, I’ll come back shortly."
Xie Wuchang initially came to collect ghosts, but the ghost messenger in this area suddenly disappeared, so he came to investigate and collect some ghosts in passing.
Upon arriving, he sensed something amiss and decided to check it out, unexpectedly encountering Lin Xiaoyan.
This girl was indeed glowing with merit, even her soul was radiating.
In her next life, she must be reincarnated in a good family.
After Xie Wuchang left, He Qi’an looked up toward the hospital room, suddenly feeling a chill.
He stood up to close the window, then walked over to Lin Xiaoyan, touched her hand and face, carefully covered her with the blanket, and continued to massage her.
