Bai Xi didn't care if the person before her was a ghost, a god, or a demon. Since she had made a move, she was certainly not going to sit and wait for death.
Her years of training in the Dark Department had taught her that even if resistance proved futile against a superior opponent, it was still better than waiting to die where she stood.
She stared intently at the woman on the ground, contemplating how she might retaliate. Would she possess some celestial magic that Bai Xi couldn't handle, or would she be like the deities depicted in dramas, impervious to the damage of ordinary weapons?
As she was pondering, the woman suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, her face a mask of tears. "Goddess, it's Ling Xin, you've finally returned!"
Bai Xi: "..."
The tense, sword-drawn atmosphere instantly dissolved. The celestial maiden who had fallen to the ground got up, her expression earnest. "Goddess, Ling Xin has waited here for over a thousand years. You've finally reincarnated, it's truly wonderful."
Bai Xi felt a peculiar ache in her trigeminal nerve. "I'm not the Goddess, you've found the wrong person."
Ling Xin clasped Bai Xi's hand again. "Goddess, Ling Xin would never be mistaken. Although your current spiritual power is so low that it's less than that of a low-level immortal attendant, you are still the War God we will never forget. Your glorious deeds in the heavens..."
Bai Xi didn't want to hear these nonsensical words. "Let's assume what you say is true. If your Goddess needs to save someone, save my man, what should I do?"
She didn't know the person before her. Whether she had been a goddess in the past or not, it was ancient history, as she herself had said, a thousand years ago. Now, her status here was worse than a low-level immortal attendant. Therefore, it was more meaningful to do what she truly needed to do.
Ling Xin smiled. "That's impossible. Even if you are the Goddess, even if you were in your prime, you couldn't bring an ordinary person back to life. Doing so would defy the Heavenly Dao!"
Bai Xi frowned. Had Xuan Ji lied to her? And was her brother also deceived? "..."
She felt disinclined to speak to this fool any longer.
Seeing this, Ling Xin said, "War God, since you have returned, why not resume your position soon? Although your current spiritual power is less than that of a low-level immortal attendant, I will help you improve your cultivation. Moreover, War God possesses high comprehension and excellent aptitude. It is possible for you to reclaim the position of War God!"
Bai Xi: "...Not interested."
She didn't know what method her brother had spoken of here that could revive Han Mo.
At this moment, Han Rui suddenly exclaimed, "Little Xi'er, Brother Bai Han's condition is very bad!"
Bai Xi immediately rushed over and saw Bai Han spitting blood profusely. "Brother, Brother, are you alright? Brother, hold on..."
At this moment, she felt a deep sorrow. Why couldn't she heal people!
Just then, a beam of blue light slowly descended, bathing Bai Han. The wounds on Bai Han's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bai Xi's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Ling Xin.
Ling Xin smiled. "The dead cannot be revived against fate, but for those who are injured, Ling Xin can still save them!"
To defy fate meant to alter someone's destiny. Even a Goddess, with the power of a War God, could not withstand the punishment of fate. As a mere immortal, she certainly couldn't.
Under Ling Xin's treatment, Bai Han recovered rapidly. Upon waking, he saw Bai Xi and Han Rui, as well as the "lofty" Ling Xin.
Bai Han's pupils contracted slightly. "I'm not dead?"
Han Rui raised an eyebrow. "Dead? What are you talking about, saying such unlucky things? Let me tell you, Bai Han, don't act on your own initiative. If I hadn't also contributed some blood, you would have been dead! Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. There's strength in numbers, so move it, move it?"
Bai Han listened to Han Rui's incessant chatter and smiled faintly.
Under normal circumstances, he would have lectured Han Rui. But today... Han Rui had indeed saved him, so he would tolerate this annoying voice.
He turned to Bai Xi. "She can save Han Mo."
In his predicted future, Bai Xi entered the divine palace, gained power, and then had Ling Xin save Han Mo.
Ling Xin immediately waved her hand. "I can only save people, not bring them back from the dead. Don't blame me!"
Bai Xi seemed to understand something. "Han Mo isn't exactly human. Because he... made me reincarnate, made me ageless and immortal, and gave me his heart, he remained as if asleep. His body showed no signs of decay!"
Ling Xin was slightly startled. "To make you reincarnate, ageless and immortal, could it be..."
After speaking, she looked at the blood jade bracelet on Bai Xi's wrist, her adorable eyes filled with ferocity. "This sort of ghastly thing, it must have been that disgusting man's doing!"
Bai Xi knew she was most likely referring to Xuan Ji, but it no longer mattered, as Xuan Ji was already dead. "Ling Xin, can you save Han Mo?"
Ling Xin looked very troubled. "If his heart is still intact, I should be able to. But if his heart has already been given to you, I fear..."
Bai Han said calmly, "After Han Mo gouged out his heart, I only used four-fifths of Han Mo's heart to save Little Xi. The remaining one-fifth I placed back into his body!"
Ling Xin was surprised. "Is that so? Then it's fine! However, even if I perform the spell on him, I cannot guarantee when he will wake up. He will need to wait."
Bai Xi nodded heavily. "I can wait."
Han Mo had waited for her for over three hundred years, so she could wait for him until her last breath.
Five years later.
Bai Xi sat in the sunlight, flipping through the files in her hands. The butterfly earring on her ear lit up again. She pressed it to answer. "War God, the third of next month is my wedding day. Do you have time to come for a toast?"
The voice belonged to Shen Mingxun.
Bai Xi glanced at Han Mo, who was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun with her. "I won't be able to make it. I'll have Xuan Feng deliver my wedding gift."
Shen Mingxun quickly replied, "Adult, please do come. You haven't returned to M City in a long time. The brothers in the Dark Department miss you."
Bai Xi: "..."
There were very few people in M City's Dark Department who recognized her, let alone missed her.
"Shen Mingxun, Han Mo is still not awake. Are you sure you want to invite me to your... wedding?"
She emphasized the word "wedding" so heavily that the person on the other end of the phone suddenly felt goosebumps. "Ah, ah, ah, ah, War God, I was wrong! Please don't be so polite. A gift is sufficient, no need for the person to come! Hahaha..."
"Beep beep beep..."
The other end of the line went dead.
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows, annoyance in her eyes.
Inviting her to a wedding and insisting she attend, how preposterous.
Didn't they know the resentment of a single person was potent?
Thinking this, she slammed the file bag in her hands onto the table.
At that moment, a pair of hands gently clasped her shoulders. "Xi'er, it's okay, we'll go together."
Bai Xi turned her head and saw Han Mo's slightly pale face.
He was looking at her and smiling. "I'm sorry for making you wait."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi's eyes grew slightly red. "I said, if you run away, I'll break your legs..."
Before she could finish, her lips were sealed by another pair of lips. After a lingering, passionate kiss, Han Mo gently lifted Bai Xi, who was sitting in the rattan chair, and walked towards the large bed inside. "Okay, I'll definitely let you hit me later!"
The wooden door closed, and indescribable sounds emanated from the room.
