Chapter 1970 Under the Same Sky Once More (2)
Yun Lintian and Yang Ningchang stood facing each other. She had thought she would never see him again, only to be left with a lifetime of pain every time he crossed her mind.
He, too, had thought he would never see her again, only to be left with a lifetime of regret every time he thought of her… Destiny, which often played cruel jokes on people, could also be compassionate on rare occasions.
"I'm still alive." Yun Lintian gently grasped her thin hand, quietly infusing wood energy into her body.
Yang Ningchang remained oblivious to the warm current flowing through her. All her focus was on the man she yearned for.
"I'm sorry," Yun Lintian spoke with a heavy heart. "You've become like this because of me."
Yang Ningchang raised a finger to his lips. "Don't apologize again. It's not your fault. I can't compete with Sister Yao in your heart, and I understand that completely."
Like a moth drawn to a flame, Yang Ningchang was willing to fall into the abyss of love despite Xia Yao's presence. From the beginning, she'd never wished to replace Xia Yao. All she ever wanted was to see him succeed in life.
Yun Lintian's guilt deepened at her words. Similar to Lynn, Yang Ningchang wholeheartedly devoted herself to him. Yet, his inability to accept her love caused her suffering. How could he claim it wasn't his fault?
"No," Yun Lintian spoke softly, his gaze fixed on her eyes. "You're wrong. You and Lynn hold a place in my heart. No one surpasses you. However, I was foolish and let you both down. That's changed now."
With that, Yun Lintian lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.
Yang Ningchang, stunned, quickly closed her eyes. Tears, this time of joy, streamed down her cheeks.
Outside, Lynn watched the two with a gentle smile, genuinely happy for Yang Ningchang.
"You are..."
At that moment, Yang Zicheng returned with a tray of food. The sight of Lynn stopped him in his tracks. He recognized her immediately but couldn't fathom how she'd appeared without warning.
A glance towards the room revealed Yun Lintian and Yang Ningchang in a kiss, leaving him stunned.
"Don't interrupt them," Lynn said gently.
Yang Zicheng gave a stiff nod. "He doesn't deserve her."
"Indeed," Lynn chuckled. "But perhaps this is the best possible outcome."
"Yeah," Yang Zicheng agreed, despite his dislike for Yun Lintian. He was genuinely happy for them.
Suddenly, Yang Zicheng noticed something unusual. Yang Ningchang's frail figure was gradually regaining its health. He rubbed his eyes, doubting his own vision.
"What's happening?" he demanded, his shock evident. Without his strong mental fortitude, the tray would have clattered to the ground.
"Let him explain it later," Lynn replied, not wanting to reveal the secret here.
Yang Zicheng furrowed his brow, fixated on the visible changes in Yang Ningchang's body. Within a few breaths, she had returned to her previous radiance. Gone was her haggard appearance, replaced by her former beauty. Even her hair, once short, had miraculously grown back to its waist-length glory.
No matter how hard he strained his mind, Yang Zicheng couldn't conjure a reasonable explanation for the miraculous scene unfolding before him.
Yun Lintian pulled away from Yang Ningchang's kiss. "From this day forward, you are mine. I will never let you go again."
Overcome with happiness, Yang Ningchang finally heard the words she'd longed to hear for her entire life. "I will always be yours."
"Do you feel anything different?" Yun Lintian asked with a smile.
Only then did Yang Ningchang notice the changes in her body. She examined her arms, legs, and hair with puzzlement.
"What's happening?" she inquired.
Yun Lintian turned to Yang Zicheng and said, "Come in. I'll explain it all together."
Yang Zicheng and Lynn entered the room and closed the door behind them.
"Sister Ningchang," Lynn greeted gently.
"Sister Lynn. Please, have a seat," Yang Ningchang replied with a gentle smile.
"Sister... You've completely recovered!" Yang Zicheng exclaimed, placing the tray on the table and staring at his sister in amazement.
He turned to Yun Lintian and asked, "How did you fake your death back then?"
"I didn't," Yun Lintian explained. "I truly died. However, someone brought me back to life."
"Brought you back to life?" Yang Zicheng stammered, overwhelmed by the absurdity of the statement.
"Have you ever heard of cultivators?" Yun Lintian inquired, raising his hand to reveal a flickering fireball.
Yang Zicheng and Yang Ningchang were stunned by the magical display.
"You mean... you're a cultivator now?" Yang Zicheng asked with difficulty, his eyes glued to the fireball.
"Yes, you could say that," Yun Lintian replied, avoiding a detailed explanation of the profound path.
Realization dawned on Yang Zicheng. "Then, can you deal with the Zhu family?" he asked urgently.
"He could kill them effortlessly," Lynn interjected. "But we all agreed it would be too easy on them."
Yang Zicheng swallowed hard. Relief washed over him. The Yang family's predicament would be resolved soon.
Yun Lintian extinguished the fireball and produced two Fruits of Immortality. "Take these. They will grant you eternal youth and two hundred years of lifespan."
Dazed, Yang Zicheng stared at the emerald fruit in his hand. A legendary object from novels was now a reality.
Meanwhile, Yang Ningchang didn't hesitate to take a bite. Her appearance remained largely unchanged, but a powerful surge of vitality coursed through her body.
Seizing this opportunity, Yun Lintian used the Crown's power to transform Yang Ningchang's profound veins.
He wasn't being stingy with his brother-in-law. Until Yun Lintian understood the Chaos Goddess' rules regarding practitioners, he wouldn't allow any to exist in this world. Yang Ningchang, Lynn, Lei Hao, and Anna were exceptions; they would eventually leave with him.
"Incredible..." Yang Zicheng gaped at his arms, his once rough skin now flawless like a newborn's.
Lynn couldn't resist teasing him. "Congratulations on becoming a pretty boy."
"Erm..." Yang Zicheng was speechless.
"Thank you," Yang Ningchang said to Yun Lintian. She understood he gave the fruit to Yang Zicheng for her sake.
"He's my brother-in-law. Of course, I wouldn't be stingy," Yun Lintian chuckled.
"Yes, thank you, brother-in-law," Yang Zicheng said with a flattered smile. "Would it be possible to obtain another one? My wife, after all, is getting older."
Yun Lintian chuckled and handed another fruit to Yang Zicheng. "It will only be effective on her."
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Yang Zicheng beamed. "Don't worry, I know what to do."
He paused momentarily, asking, "How do you plan to handle the Zhu family, brother-in-law?"
