Chapter 1334: Chapter 1333: Rebirth

Upon hearing that high-ranking official shout out Lu Yang’s name, the accompanying staff were all abuzz.

Who is Lu Yang? He is the savior of Blue Star. Even if it’s a child who doesn’t study history, a political ignoramus unaware of who the current leaders are, they would know the name Lu Yang.

It could be said that without Lu Yang, Blue Star would have long become a Zombie Planet, or perhaps fallen captive to the Candle Sky Civilization!

But the problem is, Lu Yang, who fought in the stars, has long been dead. How could he possibly appear here, so young, and not even resembling the photos in the textbooks?

Is that high-ranking official senile, blurring fantasy and reality?

Hearing Lu Yang’s response, the elderly doctor with white hair rolled his eyes and fainted straight away, scaring the accompanying staff who quickly rushed to support him.

Lu Yang, however, reached the doctor before them and stealthily infused a tiny bit of Spiritual Energy to awaken him.

"Doctor Xia He, you’re still such a scaredy-cat, eh?"

Lu Yang said with a chuckling smile. When he first met the doctor, she appeared brave but was actually quite timid. To train her courage, Lu Yang often threw her into piles of zombies. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the doctor’s bravery hadn’t increased one bit.

With blurry eyes, the doctor looked at the unfamiliar young face and the familiar exasperating tone, she was sure this person was the damned Lu Yang!

Just that she didn’t know why he had changed his appearance and looked so young.

Anyhow, since she knew Lu Yang, the bastard had always been weird, even telling her before that there were two personas in his head, one called the Will of Blue Star and the other the Will of Zombie Planet.

"If you scare Lu Yang to death, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!" Xia He said through gritted teeth, it had been a long time since she felt so annoyed.

In this world, perhaps only Lu Yang could stir her emotions like this.

"Don’t worry, now ghosts wouldn’t dare to come for me." Seeing the doctor again put Lu Yang in a great mood.

"Seeing you before I die, I can die without regrets," Xia He said smilingly, shaking her head. Her face was so aged it was hard to imagine she was once a striking beauty.

If she had seen Lu Yang ten years ago, she would have felt ashamed for having aged, unwilling to appear before Lu Yang, hoping that in his memory she would remain forever young and beautiful.

But now, as her end was near, seeing Lu Yang was all she wished for.

"I won’t let you die with me around," Lu Yang said, not with sadness but amusement.

Xia He shook her head: "I know my body well, I feel much better after seeing you, it must be the flickering of the flame before extinguishing, I won’t last much longer."

"...You’re not dying, stop lying down." Lu Yang promptly pulled up Xia He, frightening the accompanying staff who were all too aware of her frailty, shocked by such rough treatment.

However, Xia He seemed like nothing was wrong, even her breathing became much smoother.

She was originally a doctor herself, more than aware of the anomaly in her body, this was definitely not the flickering of the flame before extinguishing!

"What, what did you do?"

Lu Yang looked at the cautious accompanying staff with a smirk, "Are you sure you want to discuss this here?"

The accompanying staff certainly didn’t believe that the young man before them was Lu Yang, they thought Xia He had senile dementia and was deceived by someone with ulterior motives.

The evacuation of the crowd had already begun outside, and armed police had the area surrounded, looking for suitable sniping positions.

"Let’s go to my house," Xia He said, yet the accompanying staff showed no intention of letting them through.

Xia He was somewhat troubled. How could she not know what the accompanying personnel were thinking? Even if she gave a firm order, for her own safety, they probably wouldn’t let her through.

"You lead the way, I’ll take you there." Like he was scooping up rice, Lu Yang picked up Xia He horizontally, flew out of the museum, and left the accompanying personnel and armed police watching in stunned disbelief.

The armed police dared not shoot, fearing they might accidentally injure Xia He, so they could only let them go.

Xia He’s eyes widened. This bastard hadn’t been seen for so many years, and he could fly now?!

"Where is your home?"

"Fly east!" Xia He raised her arm and pointed east. Being held horizontally by Lu Yang did not make her feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she felt a thrill. It reminded her of the apocalypse when Lu Yang would often drag her in and out of zombie encirclements.

After a few directions, Lu Yang quickly arrived at Xia He’s home—a villa.

"You’ve done quite well for yourself over the years, living in a villa now. I’m still living in a cave," Lu Yang teased.

Xia He sighed, "I originally wanted to live in a small house, but the government insisted it wasn’t safe and arranged for me to live here."

"Do you live in this big house alone?"

"Not exactly, the housekeeper and security personnel are inside. Oh no, I don’t have the keys." With Xia He’s status, it was unlikely she’d carry keys.

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yang took a step forward, walked through the wall, and entered the villa.

Xia He was stunned. How did he do that?

"Where have you been all these years?" Xia He asked. Not having seen Lu Yang for decades, he had become even more mysterious.

Lu Yang waved his hand, "No rush, I’ll treat your illness first."

Xia He’s body was riddled with holes, like a leaky sack, her vitality rapidly slipping away. To say she was ill was an understatement—it was like the recklessness of her youth had caused old injuries that, with age, came back to haunt her. When she said she was about to die earlier, it wasn’t a joke. She was indeed close to death.

The fact that she had lived until now was not so much a miracle as it was a stubborn willpower clinging onto life.

Xia He’s body couldn’t withstand much turmoil. Any other cultivator would have to dilute elixirs and gradually condition her body, performing a Washing Marrow, which would take days or even months.

But Lu Yang made it simple. He activated the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype and tapped Xia He’s forehead.

A miraculous glow spread from her forehead to her entire body. Wherever it touched, her skin became soft and youthful, as if she was reborn.

"This, this..." Xia He looked at her body in astonishment, feeling as if she had returned to her twenties, like when she first met Lu Yang, brimming with inexhaustible energy.

She tried to imagine all the oddities of Lu Yang, but this technique still overturned her perceptions.

Xia He had never dreamed that she could return to her youthful appearance.

"How about that, Doctor Xia? Isn’t my medical skill higher than yours now?" Xia He used to tease Lu Yang often, mocking his ignorance of medicine. Now, Lu Yang finally had his chance to mock her back.

"What have you been through all these years?" Xia He’s feelings were complex, as she recalled the Blue Star Will telling her that Lu Yang had died on the Spirit Stone Planet, and how she had cried.

But at that time, she couldn’t show too much grief, as the Blue Star Will still needed her to organize humanity’s efforts against the zombies—a task Lu Yang had entrusted to the Blue Star Will before his death.

Back then, she had to suppress her sadness and always portray a fiery demeanor in front of others. It was this stark contrast that had left her with a lingering illness.

Pah, I cried for nothing. Damn Lu Yang, give me back my tears.

"It all started with a rainy day on the second day of the second lunar month when I went to take the Seek Dao Sect examination..."
