Either fully recover, or completely reset.
That’s why Shui Longyin chose to hold onto Xu Shu, wanting him to always stay with her.
After the Dead Man Scripture went into repair mode, she was truly "powerless", despite being hard to kill, but if caught by certain people, the outco might be worse than death.
"If I can find Master, the hidden danger of the Dead Man Scripture can be eliminated."
"The traffic lights refuse to reveal the true identity of the one who brought her here, what background does Tai Chu have?"
"No matter what he thinks, this act will certainly further stir up chaos for , Bai Yujing..."
In the stillness of the deep night, with no one around, Shui Longyin naturally didn’t need to pretend to be "weak", but rather seriously pondered her situation, the sect’s predicant.
As she was thinking deeply, sounds of water and voices started coming from behind the door:
"Hey, why is there such a big pond in this courtyard? It wasn’t here before, was it? Strange... Sister Yaoyao, did you dig this pond? This water is so cold, it must be well water."
With Xu Shu’s curious voice, Shui Longyin’s thoughts were interrupted.
She first turned off the upgraded network with a quick motion, then followed the sound backward into the weed-filled burial mound area, frowning slightly, expression sowhat puzzled.
Pond?
What pond?
There’s no pond here...
Wait a minute...
Shui Longyin suddenly rembered sothing, hurriedly speeding up her pace, quickly entering the weed-filled courtyard.
She saw a two-ter wide tranquil pond at the corner, quietly reflecting the dim stars and the setting moon, carrying a faint fragrance of grass, crystal clear and shimring.
Xu Shu was crouched by the pond, having just washed his face, then held so water in his hands, seemingly ready to taste this ’wild mountain well water’.
"This location, wasn’t it the place where I previously... Strange, how could this be? It should have all seeped down..."
Shui Longyin’s eyes widened instantly, urgently shouting: "No! Don’t! Quick, stop! This water can’t be drunk!!!"
She shouted while desperately lunging forward, using all her strength, barely reaching an athlete’s level of approximately 10 ters per second.
Finally, she managed to reach Xu Shu and tackle him before he drank the water, hanging onto him.
The pose was sowhat odd, like a frog clinging to the back of another frog.
"?"
Xu Shu didn’t move a muscle, the water in his hands remained still.
He felt a strong sense of pressure close against his back, his heart suddenly tightened: So big!
Shui Longyin hurriedly got off his back, eyes darting, and said with a worried look: "Luckily you didn’t drink..."
"Hmm, what’s the matter with this water?" Xu Shu’s face showed no signs of having ’encountered a large chest’, calmly asking.
"This water is poisonous, can’t be drunk." Shui Longyin casually lied, just wanting to quickly brush off this matter.
However, Xu Shu wasn’t fooled: "Poisonous? Sister Yaoyao, you’re overthinking. This water is clear and transparent, with my judgnt it is definitely natural underground mountain water, pure and harmless, unpolluted, drinkable, let prove it to you."
Speaking, he ford his hands as if scooping, moving towards his mouth.
"No! Wait, listen to ..." Shui Longyin almost scread.
Of course it’s unpolluted, because that’s what I relieved myself of in the middle of the night with urgency!
This kid must be crazy, speaking so eloquently?
Her mouth twitched, staring at the pool of water in front, suddenly at a loss on how to explain to Xu Shu.
Upon careful thought, she realized it wasn’t entirely Xu Shu’s fault for misunderstanding.
Who in their right mind could urinate such a large pond several ters deep?
Anyone uninford might really think it was from a well...
But if I tell him directly that it was —how embarrassing would that be?
If word gets out I’ll surely be laughed to death!
Moreover, he seems to have washed with this water...
Damn it, is there a rock down there!
Why didn’t it seep away, instead filled up? Could there truly be underground water?
For a mont, facing Xu Shu’s innocent yet confident gaze, Shui Longyin felt extrely embarrassed, shifting between white and red.
But with her silence, Xu Shu’s eyes gradually grew suspicious.
In a pinch, Shui Longyin suddenly beca inspired: "Are you dense, not realizing where we are? These are barren graves, this is Corpse Water, though non-toxic, it’s heavily imbued with yin energy, a regular person drinking it loses three years of life."
"Ah? Corpse Water?"
Xu Shu was stunned, pouring the water back into the pond, quietly muttering, "No way, Corpse Water shouldn’t sll bad, should it? This water slls quite nice, seemingly sweet and enticing..."
Hearing him say that, Shui Longyin blushed deeply, thankfully blood doesn’t rush in dead people.
She swiftly concocted an explanation: "Well, extres et, this Corpse Water undergoes certain mutation over the years of sunlight and moonshine, so it looks fine but actually deceives the naive, otherwise why did it appear now if it wasn’t there before?"
Xu Shu, stunned by her words, pondered: "Oh, is that so, I must be uninford."
He was very persuadable, and with Shui Longyin’s explanation, he certainly wouldn’t insist on drinking such water of uncertain origins, imdiately wiped his hands.
Only then did Shui Longyin breathe a sigh of relief.
But her relief lasted no more than three seconds before Xu Shu said: "Back to the point, why is there a pit here? Sister Yaoyao, look, the edges don’t seem naturally ford, there are obvious signs of human activity..."
Shui Longyin: ???
Why is this kid so sharp-eyed?
