The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 431 Bai Lang, it's time to take your medicine!
The outer seventh ring road.

Green bamboo grove, outside the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

"Roar!" A snow-white, robust tiger sat cross-legged in front of Feng Ling and Mo Yu, its large head, inlaid with the character "king," rubbing against Feng Ling's thigh and Mo Yu's jade hand in a coquettish manner.

"Alright, Little White!" Pushing away the fluffy head, Feng Ling laughed, "Just now, I thought it had been more than half a year since we last met, and you didn't even recognize us!"

"Roar, roar!" Upon hearing this, Little White seemed to understand, letting out two low roars before making way for the bluestone path leading to the bamboo courtyard.

Immediately after Feng Ling and Mo Yu passed by, Xiao Bai paced around a few times before lying down by the fence outside the courtyard and pretending to doze off.

"This is utterly despicable!"

Mo Yu withdrew his gaze, his face filled with indignation.

This White Tiger Demon King is a tiger, yet Ji Sheng and the others are using him as a watchdog!
"That's enough, let's not cause any more trouble!"

Feng Ling shook his head slightly. He had just landed and walked over when it almost bit him!

Although Feng Ling felt somewhat unhappy, since he had already sent Xiao Bai away, he couldn't care less what she did.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded knowingly, silently mourning for Xiao Bai for a few seconds. As for her indignant words just now, they were purely out of sympathy.

Inside the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

"noob?"

The tiger's roar outside the courtyard ceased, replaced by a series of footsteps. The person inside, who had been standing there in a daze, immediately sprang into action: "Who is it? Who's outside?"

Immediately afterwards, Feng Ling and Mo Yu arrived together.

Those inside the courtyard quickly stepped forward to greet him. A glimmer of light appeared in his dull, weary eyes as he teased, "Oh my, it's the City Lord himself who has graced us with his presence!"

A middle-aged man with a cane walked out of the courtyard. From a distance, his sparse, disheveled hair and frail figure appeared as thin as lightning.

Upon closer inspection, his face was dull and lifeless, thin and haggard, as if he were suffering from both physical and mental exhaustion, and as if his vital energy had been drained.

"You...you are Xiang Qiubai?" Mo Yu rolled her bright eyes, finding it hard to believe.

Feng Ling also looked like he had seen a ghost, his mind racing: This shouldn't be the case. It should be more than half a year. Xiang Qiubai's injuries should have healed by now. Why does he still look so desolate? Could it be... that his essence has been damaged?

"Senior Brother Qiu Bai, have you... damaged your very essence?" Thinking of this, Feng Ling felt a strong sense of guilt and remorse rising in his heart.

"Damaged the source? Uh, more or less... I guess so!" Upon hearing this, Xiang Qiubai hesitated for a moment, but saw that Mo Yu had not moved, and Feng Ling was looking at him with eyes full of self-blame and regret.

So Xiang Qiubai quickly lowered his voice, leaned close to Feng Ling's left ear, and whispered, "Actually, it has nothing to do with you, and it's not as serious as you think. It's just a little back pain. You'll recover after a period of rest!"

Ah this...

Upon hearing the other person speak of back pain with a hesitant expression, Feng Ling immediately understood what was going on.

Sorry to bother you!

I shouldn't have said anything, I shouldn't have asked!

"We still need to be more restrained!"

Feng Ling lowered his voice and replied awkwardly, but then Mo Yu curiously leaned over. "What are you two grown men whispering about?" The two quickly changed the subject. "Oh, look how forgetful I am, I forgot to invite you to sit and chat in the courtyard. Please!" With that, Xiang Qiubai welcomed Feng Ling and Mo Yu inside.

Upon entering the courtyard, the three sat around a stone table. The air was filled with the faint smell of smoke and a slightly burnt odor.

Feng Ling's heart stirred slightly, and he took the initiative to say, "I have offended you in the past, I don't know if it's Sister Sheng..."

However, before Feng Ling could finish speaking, a voice came from inside the room: "Bai Lang, it's time to take your medicine!"

Suddenly, the wooden door to the inner room opened, and a large plume of black smoke escaped in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with disheveled hair and hairpins carefully wrapped a pot of scalding hot medicine in a coarse cloth, walking with graceful, affectionate steps.

"Ahem, Sheng'er, we have guests here! Look up and see who they are!" Xiang Qiubai quickly coughed lightly as a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Ji Sheng realized that there were outsiders in the courtyard. She immediately composed herself and looked up.

"Feng, Feng Ling... Demon, Demon Jade!"

In the courtyard, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were smiling faintly. Ji Sheng couldn't help but tremble slightly and almost dropped the medicine gu on the ground.

Furthermore, Ji Sheng raised her eyes.

Ji Sheng's face was rosy and glowing, her figure was plump and graceful, and she exuded a captivating charm unique to mature women.

In stark contrast to Xiang Qiubai's dejected and withered state, the two formed a striking contrast.

"Sister Sheng, it's been a long time!"

Seeing Ji Sheng take a deep breath, compose herself, and walk quickly over, Feng Ling and Mo Yu stood up to greet her. Ji Sheng, with a stern face, coldly snorted, "Only half a year, how long do you think that is?"

Immediately, Feng Ling and Mo Yu's faces darkened. The group stood there, silently exchanging glances, not uttering a word. The atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

Xiang Qiubai sat stiffly by the stone table, not daring to even breathe, and could only weakly watch the three people standing on his left and right sides, confronting each other.

"We just happened to be passing by, so we shamelessly came to bother you. Sister Sheng, you won't be unwelcome to us, will you?"

"Pfft! You two are really something, not even letting Sister Sheng know you were coming beforehand, making us feel bad for not being able to entertain you properly. Just a moment, I'll make you some tea!"

Just as Xiang Qiubai thought Feng Ling and Ji Sheng would join forces to attack, both sides couldn't hold back and broke into smiles. A smile erased all enmity!

Immediately, Ji Sheng gently placed the medicine gu on the stone table and quickly went into the inner room. Mo Yu, unusually interested, followed him in to help.

"This medicine tastes awful, it's both sour and bitter!"

Xiang Qiubai blew on the steam rising from the medicinal gu, then suddenly pinched his nose and sipped. A pool of dark, viscous liquid seeped from the bottom of the gu.

Feng Ling glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and saw that the medicinal gu contained more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials, such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis, deer antler, old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and wolfberry, as well as a small amount of black centipede and red-tailed scorpion, which were simmered together for several hours.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
