"What's wrong?" Kong Xingzhuo stopped in his tracks and looked at Xiao Jinfeng.
The situation was urgent. Every moment of delay put the young county princess's life at risk...
Xiao Jinfeng glanced at Little Xi Tian. "The young county princess's illness is indeed very strange. Even if we call for the imperial physicians, it will be difficult to diagnose and treat it clearly. Why don't we ask Doctor Guan to come and examine her? I've been communicating with him via carrier pigeon, and once Doctor Guan receives the message, he can reach Dashui Village in three to five days at the earliest!"
Everyone present thought that Young Master Xiao's suggestion was very reliable...
Everyone had witnessed Guan Zhongbo's medical skills. Since he could cure Fang'er's madness and Huaihua's muteness, he should be able to handle Xi Tian's comatose state as well!
Old Man Yun cupped his hands towards Xiao Jinfeng. "Then, then we'll have to trouble Young Master Xiao..."
"Uncle Yun, there's no need to be so polite. This is what I should do!" Xiao Jinfeng smiled slightly, then walked to the desk and picked up a brush to write a letter.
"Er Longzi, tie the letter to the carrier pigeon as soon as possible and release it!" Xiao Jinfeng instructed.
"Understood, Master..."
The busy day soon turned into night. All the members of the Yun family stayed in Little Xi Tian's room, wiping her sweat and giving her water, none of them idle.
Even the useless Zhao Xiaojie, looking dejected, followed Jin Huaihua, begging her to teach her how to cook...
"Auntie, Uncle, dinner is ready. You should go and eat something. I'll stay with her here!" Jin Huaihua walked in and persuaded them.
Du Tieshan had just cooked a pot of Gada soup, and before it was served, she sprinkled a handful of Hala Hai into it. The aroma alone was mouth-watering...
The Gada soup, made from white flour, was crystal clear, with the largest pieces no bigger than a fingernail. Paired with fresh and delicious Hala Hai, it had a rich and fragrant flavor, perfect for those with weak stomachs.
Gu Shi and Old Man Yun had no appetite. They just wanted to stay by their youngest daughter's side quietly, hoping she would wake up and look at her parents...
Meanwhile, Little Xi Tian was wandering in a terrifying dream.
Just like last time, she found herself in a sea of scorching flames, where everything in the world had been reduced to charcoal by the raging fire.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The fine rain was hotter than boiling water. Not only did it fail to extinguish the flames, but it also made the fire burn even more fiercely...
Little Xi Tian frowned, looking up at the sky. "Can you make yourself clear now? Why has my soul been damaged? How can it be remedied?"
Why couldn't it just be said directly, instead of doing such mysterious things...
Her parents and family must be worried sick about her being unconscious.
She didn't want to be trapped in this dream forever and become a vegetative person who couldn't even take care of herself.
After a long time, the old voice finally echoed in the sky. "Yun Xi Tian, you defied the will of heaven and traveled through time. It's already fortunate that your soul didn't scatter. What does a little soul damage matter?"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Still playing coy, huh?
"Hey, you old geezer, who are you? What kind of skill is it to speak from behind the dark clouds? If you have the guts, come out. I want to see what kind of monster you are!" Little Xi Tian shouted.
Dark Clouds: "..."
This little girl is quite hot-tempered.
"You, is this how you treat your elders? Tsk, tsk, so rude!" The dark clouds retorted unhappily.
Hearing this, Little Xi Tian put her hands on her hips, almost driven mad with anger. "Fine, you won't come out, will you? Then I'll just smash my head against something and die, so you can stop causing trouble..."
With that, Little Xi Tian rolled up her sleeves, aimed at a large, hard rock, and charged forward with her short legs.
Since she was in a dream, she could do whatever she wanted.
Besides, a good bump might just wake her up...
"Ouch, hey, little girl, don't be impulsive! Stop, stop!" The dark clouds panicked.
Just as Little Xi Tian was about to have a close encounter with the rock, a bolt of lightning struck down, instantly shattering the rock into pieces...
Little Xi Tian missed and fell to the ground with a thump, scraping her little hand.
"Strange, why do I feel pain in a dream? This is too realistic!" Little Xi Tian said, confused.
As soon as she spoke, a white light flashed from behind the clouds, shining brightly like a spotlight...
A moment later, the light slowly condensed into a ball of light, which slowly flew to Little Xi Tian.
"Are you satisfied now?" the light ball said helplessly.
Are all young girls this hot-tempered nowadays, wanting to smash rocks at the slightest provocation? They're too bold...
Little Xi Tian blinked her big eyes and burst into laughter. "Little old man, so you're a light bulb, hahaha!"
Light ball: "..."
Light bulb?
Is that how you talk?
"Cough, cough, since I've revealed my true form, I won't hide anything from you anymore. I am..."
"Wait a moment!"
Little Xi Tian interrupted the light ball and reached out her hand, wanting to touch it.
Unexpectedly, the light ball was like a mass of gas. Little Xi Tian's hand passed right through its body, and she couldn't touch anything...
"Wow, this dream is getting more and more realistic!" Little Xi Tian exclaimed.
Light ball: "..."
What's there to be surprised about? You're on the verge of losing your life, and you still have the mood to care about these things?
"Hey, little old man, can you tell me now why I'm here?" Little Xi Tian put away her curiosity and asked seriously.
The light ball circled Little Xi Tian. "Little girl, everything you see now will happen to you in the future, so you need to be prepared..."
"Is it because I'm a transmigrator that I have to undergo such a trial?" Little Xi Tian wondered.
As far as she knew, Sister Murong was also a transmigrator, so why didn't such a thing happen to her?
Is this messing with her head?
The light ball said helplessly, "This is not a trial, but it concerns your life and death, and your departure. I've already said that your soul is damaged and needs to be replenished in time..."
Little Xi Tian: "???"
How to replenish it?
Should she go to a mass grave and dig up graves?
"Little old man, can you just say it all at once? If you dare to speak in halves again, I won't talk to you anymore..." Little Xi Tian said indignantly.
Light ball: "..."
This customer is really hard to please.
"Here, you're not allowed to interrupt me when I'm speaking!" the light ball said meekly.
Hearing this, Little Xi Tian rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and speak, my patience is limited!"
The light ball suppressed its inner dissatisfaction and began to explain the whole story...
