Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Like the deep sea, like chaos...

Ji Boying curled up in the golden cage, like a mayfly, drifting aimlessly with the current.

He didn't know how long he had been drifting, but the last image preserved in his memory was the scene of Qi Yuanming self-destructing.

And then...

And then he inexplicably ended up in this golden birdcage.

The golden birdcage was still the same as before, with Luo Qinghan, dressed in the Queen of Elves' attire, bound in the center. However, for some reason, Luo Qinghan was not only in a coma, but her whole body had become ethereal, as if she could dissipate at any moment.

At first, Ji Boying tried to call out to see if he could wake up the Lord of the Manor.

But... after a few attempts, the latter showed no response, so he gave up.

When Ji Boying first saw Luo Qinghan, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

His own life was in danger, yet his brain still had the leisure to think about Luo Qinghan, who was dressed in the Queen of Elves' attire.

But soon, Ji Boying realized that something was wrong.

Because of his severe injuries and extreme weakness, he didn't even think about it. Moreover... every time the golden birdcage appeared in the past, it seemed to appear passively. Ji Boying had never actively thought about these things.

Especially at the beginning, he thought that the golden birdcage was imprisoning Nangong Wan, after all, both of them were wearing charming purple robes.

Ji Boying had an obsession with Nangong Wan, not only because of the growing affection, but also because of the master-servant contract.

So, those scenes that were not suitable for children all took place in the dilapidated wooden house. During the fights, he was always in a passive state.

But since the last system upgrade, Ji Boying discovered that the one in purple robes was not Nangong Wan, but Luo Qinghan!

Luo Qinghan was very beautiful, and Ji Boying had fantasized about conquering her. After all, as a man, it was natural to appreciate a beautiful woman and think about such things occasionally.

But Ji Boying only had occasional emotions, most of the time he just stopped at that. He admired and respected Luo Qinghan more.

He really didn't understand why Luo Qinghan was imprisoned in the golden birdcage, and he didn't understand why the scenes that originally belonged to Nangong Wan disappeared completely during the system upgrade.

Ji Boying always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment, he couldn't remember what was wrong.

It was like waking up in the morning and clearly remembering that there was something to do, but forgetting it while washing his face.

Ji Boying originally wanted to slowly recall, but because his divine soul was only left with a trace of its origin, even a slight use of his brain would cause a piercing pain.

After trying for a while with no results, Ji Boying directly entered a state of pretending to be lazy and completely lay down.

Until...

A faint light appeared in the chaotic sky, like seeing the sun in the deep sea.

---

Beside the Lord's Mansion...

In a standalone small courtyard.

Ning Nanjia didn't wear the eye-catching Danhuo Palace robe as usual, but wore a plain dress that matched her current mood. She silently sat in the living room on the second floor with Qin Fang...

She didn't dare to come alone, nor could she find a suitable reason to come alone.

Only when Qin Fang or other members of the Tianlei Palace came to visit, she dared to follow along and silently watch the figure that stood in front of thousands of fellow disciples and herself, disregarding everything...

At the same time, behind the curtain...

Li Yueyao knelt beside the brocade couch, holding a soft silk handkerchief soaked in medicine, carefully wiping Ji Boying's body that had almost been burned to charcoal.

These medicines were left by Han He, the Lord of Danhuo Palace. They could maintain Ji Boying's physical vitality and stimulate the uncontrolled blood and qi circulation.

Because Ji Boying's divine soul had suffered heavy damage, these medicines not only needed to be wiped every half hour, but also required the infusion of spiritual power during the wiping process.

Han He obviously wouldn't stay, so this laborious task fell on Li Yueyao.

Seven days had passed since then.

Li Yueyao had been by Ji Boying's side, guarding him for seven whole days.

However, up until now, there is still no sign of Ji Boying waking up.

She looked at Ji Boying's pale face, cracked lips, and in her mind echoed the words he had said to her before they left. Her vision became blurry once again.

After a long while...

She took a deep breath, forcibly calming her emotions, and was about to go out to change the medicine...

Suddenly, a hoarse and dry voice sounded unexpectedly from behind.

"Water... water..."

The voice was as faint as a mosquito, barely audible if one didn't pay attention.

But it was precisely this weak voice that Li Yueyao accurately caught.

Her body trembled, and she turned her head to look at Ji Boying.

At this moment, she saw that he had already opened his eyes, without knowing when.

"Young... young master!"

She cried tears of joy and quickly shouted towards Qin Fang outside the curtain.

"Qin Master, the young master has woken up! He's awake!"

Qin Fang, who had been restless and anxious outside because Ji Boying hadn't woken up, felt like a thunderbolt exploded in his mind upon hearing Li Yueyao's call.

He quickly stood up from his seat, and his spiritual power, uncontrollable due to his emotional fluctuations, surged outwards, causing a gust of wind that almost overturned the tables and chairs.

He quickly took out his identity token and hurriedly sent a message to Old Master Chen.

As for Ning Nanjia, she had already rushed into the room as soon as she heard Li Yueyao's voice.

Upon confirming that Ji Boying had indeed woken up, she quickly sent a message to her own master.

Of course...

If she could directly communicate with the Palace Lord, she wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

Like this...

In just a few breaths of time, Chen Hui, the Sheep Control Master, Han He, the Dan Fire Palace Lord, and Yan Yangshu, the master of Ning Nanjia, arrived together.

Han He took a step forward, walked to Ji Boying's side, and placed his hand on his forehead, infiltrating a strand of his spiritual power.

After a moment... he slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Hui quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is he?"

"The remaining trace of his soul origin is stable, his life is not in danger!"

Upon hearing Han He's words, Chen Hui, Qin Fang, Li Yueyao, Ning Nanjia, and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Palace Lord!"

Ji Boying looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and felt like crying without tears.

Couldn't they have given me some water first?

And those two foolish girls, Yueyao and Nanjia, why are they just crying? Can't they get me some water...

Thinking of this, Ji Boying strained his burning and dry throat and shouted,

"Water..."

When his throat was not in good condition, he could use his soul to transmit sound, but unfortunately... Ji Boying's soul now only had a trace of its origin.

Extremely weak, not even comparable to a Qi Refining cultivator, he couldn't transmit sound at all.

Upon hearing Ji Boying's voice again, Li Yueyao and Ning Nanjia immediately wanted to go get water, but they were stopped by Han He before they had taken a few steps.

"He can't drink water right now."

"You two, go out first. I need to have a private conversation with him."
