"Ye Ming, is that your voice?" Lin ngdie’s consciousness was gradually blurring, and she thought she was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
She said faintly, "Looks like I’m dead too, huh? Well then, I’ll join you on the road to the afterlife!"
"You won’t be alone on the Yellow Springs Road!"
Ye Ming gave a wry smile, looking at Lin ngdie in his arms, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart.
He said, "Don’t worry, we won’t die."
Ye Ming forced himself to sit up and saw that his body had beco charred black, likely a consequence of the lightning strike.
He didn’t know the source of the lightning, but at that mont, with the help of the Life Essence Lin ngdie had transferred to him, his body was rapidly recovering.
Soon, he felt vitality return to his previously numb limbs, and the remaining True Qi inside him began to circulate again.
After two cycles of his ridians, his vital signs had stabilized.
He then lent so True Qi back to Lin ngdie.
Not long after, Lin ngdie regained consciousness.
She sat up hastily, touching her body, and muttered in astonishnt, "I’m actually not dead?"
Ye Ming smiled lightly and said, "With here, how could you die? Silly girl, who told you to give all your Life Essence to just now? If I hadn’t stopped it in ti, we really might have gone to see King Yama."
Lin ngdie’s eyes widened as she looked at Ye Ming, tears no longer able to be held back.
"Ye Ming, it’s so good that you’re okay!" she cried out suddenly, throwing herself into Ye Ming’s embrace.
Ye Ming, wearing a smile, truly enjoyed the warmth of this embrace.
This ti, coming back from the brink of death, he owed much to Lin ngdie; Ye Ming felt grateful and sowhat guilty.
After letting Lin ngdie cry enough, Ye Ming patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, now’s not the ti for tears. Didn’t I give you so Soul Condensing Pills just now? Let borrow them for a mont."
Lin ngdie released Ye Ming and said with a pout, "They are already yours, why talk about borrowing?"
She took out four Soul Condensing Pills from her pocket and handed them to Ye Ming.
Fortunately, she had clung to her pocket before being blown away, ensuring the pills were preserved; after all, they were gifts from Ye Ming, and she couldn’t just lose them carelessly.
After receiving the Herbal Pills, Ye Ming imdiately popped them into his mouth, absorbing the Spiritual Energy within them and utilizing it for himself, then used the converted True Qi to heal his wounds.
After over three hours of ditation, the injuries on Ye Ming’s body were essentially healed, and the charred skin was peeling off to reveal new skin beneath.
Lin ngdie was stunned by this sight, feeling utterly astonished.
When Ye Ming stood up to stretch his muscles and bones, he suddenly felt a cool sensation beneath him.
Looking down, he realized his clothing had turned to ash and drifted away with the wind, exposing his newly ford skin entirely, standing naked in front of Lin ngdie.
"Wow!" Lin ngdie’s eyes widened. There was no scream, no covering of eyes, but rather she looked intently, keen to not miss any detail.
"Uh... sorry!" Ye Ming realized sothing was amiss, quickly covered his vital areas, and then started looking around.
Alas, there was nothing around him; it was a desolate sight, completely devoid of clothing for him to wear.
Fortunately, there was a pond not far away. Ye Ming leaped into it, retrieving a few lotus leaves to cover himself and took the opportunity to wash off the filth from his body with the river water.
Throughout the entire process, Lin ngdie’s eyes never left his body, which made him quite embarrassed.
After all was done, Ye Ming ca back and earnestly said, "Miss Lin, I really can’t thank you enough. It was you who saved my life!"
Lin ngdie waved her hands dismissively and said, "It’s no big deal. You’ve saved several tis before, and this was just returning the favor once, not worth ntioning!"
Ye Ming firmly said, "It’s not the sa. This ti you saved , you pulled back from King Yama’s door, and you almost paid with your life. I am deeply moved."
Lin ngdie rolled her eyeballs and asked, "In that case, you should properly repay . How about we fulfill our marriage agreent right now? Let’s turn raw rice into cooked rice!"
In the wild, with only a man and a woman, and Ye Ming in such a state without clothes to wear, Lin ngdie had been staring at him relentlessly, which had already started to make his heart itch.
So she couldn’t help but blurt out what was on her mind.
At that mont, she also realized she had misspoken and her face turned red with embarrassnt.
Ye Ming stood frozen on the spot, sowhat at a loss for words.
Lin ngdie quickly revised her words, "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you, don’t take it seriously!"
"How about this, from now on, you can’t talk about breaking off the engagent with anymore. If you want to break it off, you’ll have to say it to my father’s face, how about that?" Lin ngdie asked.
Ye Ming nodded his head, as this request wasn’t excessive, and he could agree to it.
In the following ti, Ye Ming sat cross-legged and continued his cultivation practice.
He was quite puzzled by the supernatural phenonon that had just happened. He was on the verge of breaking through his bottleneck to reach the Interdiate Earth Rank realm when suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended at that critical mont, which infuriated him.
Could it be that soone in heaven did it on purpose, not wanting him to advance?
After checking his internal condition, Ye Ming found that the bottleneck he had just barely pushed open had now contracted back to its original state.
The setback in his cultivation didn’t discourage him; he wouldn’t be defeated by any setback. If soone was trying to stop him, he wouldn’t let them succeed. If once wasn’t enough, he would try again!
Therefore, he imdiately entered a state of self-forgetfulness and began to challenge the bottleneck once more.
Lin ngdie did not disturb him again, but quietly began to search around, continuing to look for food for the two of them.
Seeing that Ye Ming was alright, her mood also relaxed a lot.
After a whole day of scavenging, Lin ngdie found so wild rabbits and wild chickens in the vicinity, as well as so wild fruits.
After a full al, she fell into a deep sleep.
In the following days, Ye Ming still maintained that state, continuing to cultivate and challenge his bottleneck.
At this ti, he discovered sothing strange.
Not far from him, he found the marriage docunt he was carrying. Struck by such intense lightning, all his belongings had turned to ash, yet his marriage docunt remained intact.
At this, he couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Could it be that this seemingly simple piece of parchnt paper contained greater power within it? Power that could rival the great calamities of the heavens?
