Chapter 687: She Gives It Her All
Lan Ling initially had a good impression of Han Jing because she saved Su Yu. After spending a long time with her, he truly liked her. Of course, this liking wasn’t romantic, but more like family affection.
So even though Su Yu was the person he respected the most, he still didn’t want Han Jing to be wronged.
He knew that Su Yu must have had a tough time all these years, but Han Jing was even more determined. In such despair, she decisively stood up, without blaming the heavens or wallowing in sorrow. In fact, at that time, even when facing the situation where Su Yu was taken away by her rival and lost his memory, she never shed a tear. She calmly arranged what everyone should do, and with the newborn Xiao Xue, returned to the Ghost Realm with them. While taking care of Xiao Xue, she frantically cultivated.
Especially when Xiao Xue was not yet a year old and couldn’t eat food, for almost a year, the total time she rested each day might not even add up to two hours. She had just reached the Spirit Cultivation Level, the time when her strength was growing fastest. But in order to take care of Xiao Xue, she couldn’t go into seclusion and could only calculate the hours every day, practicing the mental Cultivation Method while Xiao Xue slept, and then go into the Ghost Forest to train her combat skills when Xiao Xue was awake. She would come back every one or two hours to feed Xiao Xue.
The ghost spirits in the Ghost Forest were much stronger than her, a novice who had just reached the Spirit Cultivation Level, and she almost always returned with injuries.
Yet even so, she always smiled and never showed a single sorrowful emotion in front of the young Xiao Xue.
In just five years, she advanced from just entering the Spirit Cultivation Level to the Blue Flame Level. To outsiders, this was simply the talent of talents, absolutely incredible. But only those who accompanied her through these five years in the Ghost Realm knew how much effort she put in.
Even her master, who never compliments anyone, said he had taken in a good disciple.
Lan Ling was a simple-minded person and didn’t understand those complex and restrained emotions; he just knew that their family mirror, she should not be let down by anyone, especially Su Yu.
Su Yu listened to Lan Ling’s words for a long time without speaking, and finally nodded slightly, saying, "Alright."
Only then did Lan Ling smile with relief, and then greeted Yun Feng: "Is there anything you need help with?"
Yun Feng thought for a moment and then called him over to help prepare some things.
And then they began to set up the Array.
Once this Array started, it would take seven days and nights to complete, so Lan Ling helped set up a Barrier around it to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
Xiao Xue had already run off to bond with his pet ghosts early on.
"Brother Lianwu, look at my Bai Bai, and my squirrel, hmm, my squirrel doesn’t have a name yet!" Xiao Xue released Bai Bai from the Blood Jade Bell, and as soon as Bai Bai saw Lianwu, it shivered all over, unconsciously retreated several steps, and hid behind Xiao Xue, peeking out.
Xiao Xue turned his head curiously to look at the trembling Bai Bai: "Bai Bai, are you cold?"
Bai Bai felt like crying, it was scared!
Lianwu didn’t even bother to glance at the creature in his eyes comparable to a bug, wondering why even pick up such a thing?
Then Xiao Xue released the squirrel, which froze in Xiao Xue’s arms, half-dazed, completely devoid of the spiritual energy it had when Xiao Xue caught it.
Xiao Xue looked puzzled at the wilted squirrel: "Are you sick?"
