Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: Did General Lu Really Come Back to Life?

Lu Yang’s story is very long, so long that it could not be finished even in three days and nights. Xia He listened quietly, her eyes filled with the vivacious expression of Lu Yang.

From Lu Yang’s description, Xia He learned just how vast and magnificent the Cultivation World is, and also learned how rich and colorful Lu Yang’s experiences over the years have been.

Over the years, Lu Yang encountered many dangers, yet Xia He noticed that when Lu Yang talked about these experiences, he was still very excited and took pleasure in them. It was clear that he was quite satisfied with his experiences over the years.

Unfortunately, it was not herself who had accompanied Lu Yang by his side.

"Are you hungry? I’ll have someone bring up some food." Xia He said, though in truth it was not Lu Yang who was hungry, but herself.

Suddenly, Xia He paused, realizing there was a problem.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled.

Xia He pointed to her youthful face, somewhat panicked, "Now that I look like this, will they still recognize me?"

If the security personnel knew about Xia He’s rejuvenation, even the most steadfast among them would become flustered. Even if they could verify Xia He’s identity through fingerprints and DNA comparison, it would surely not be a peaceful process.

"Then I’ll change you back to your original appearance." Lu Yang joked and even pinched his throat, imitating Xia He’s previous voice, "Lu Yang, I’m going to die."

"Don’t mimic me!" Xia He hit Lu Yang furiously, her punches soft and weak, lacking in strength.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting, let me think of a solution." Lu Yang quickly surrendered.

"I’ve got it."

Before long, Lu Yang pulled out a piece of jade carved with exquisite patterns from his Identity Jade Pendant.

"This was a little gift from Junior Sister Tao that I mentioned before. She is skilled in Illusion Techniques, and this piece of jade is engraved with Illusion Array patterns. Once you wear it, others will think you look like your former self."

"Is it really that magical?"

Xia He put on the jade, looked in the mirror, and indeed, she had returned to her elderly appearance, her voice also turned hoarse. When she took off the Jade Pendant, she reverted to her original state.

Only then did Xia He confidently call the maid to bring up some food.

The maid was startled when she saw Xia He, not understanding when Xia He had come home. However, she did not dare to ask and just obediently went to cook.

"Make it richer in nutrients." Xia He instructed, as she normally could only drink a bowl of millet porridge; now that she had reverted to her younger self, she had a hearty appetite.

The maid trembled, sadness welled up in her heart - the day had come, after all, when the old Xia He was having a momentary revival.

She resolved to block out everything and perform at her best in this life, to provide the old Madame Xia with one last delicious meal.

"Did she misunderstand something?" Xia He wondered when she returned, having never seen the maid with such a resolute look in her eyes.

Lu Yang just stood to the side, snickering without pointing it out. This silly girl truly hadn’t changed at all, looking clever but actually quite naive.

"By the way, do you know where Bai Shuang is?" Lu Yang inquired about the whereabouts of the will of Blue Star.

Bai Shuang, the will of Blue Star - this was a name Lu Yang gave her.

"Bai Shuang? I haven’t seen her for a while."

Since Xia He was the person Lu Yang trusted the most, so after Lu Yang’s Self-Detonation on the Spirit Stone Planet in his past life, Bai Shuang returned to Blue Star and sought out Xia He immediately to inform her of the bad news, hoping Xia He would form an army to exterminate Zombies.

After Xia He reinstated the Blue Star, Bai Shuang lent a helping hand. Through mutual aid and due to Lu Yang’s connections, Xia He became a rare good friend of Bai Shuang.

"She said she wanted to find a way to save me and then disappeared, never to be seen again." Xia He sighed, longing to share the good news of Lu Yang still being alive with her.

As the consciousness of the planet, Bai Shuang came and went without a trace, always seeking out Xia He on her own initiative. Xia He didn’t have Bai Shuang’s contact information.

This made things difficult for Lu Yang. He was able to find Gu Yu because the higher-ups of the Candle Sky Civilization were all aware of Gu Yu’s existence. Through interrogation, finding out her whereabouts would have been easy.

But Bai Shuang was extremely elusive, and it was likely that in the vast Blue Star, only Xia He knew of Bai Shuang’s existence, making the search for her exceedingly challenging.

However, Lu Yang didn’t overthink it. Bai Shuang was searching for a way to save Xia He. Whether she found it or not, she would eventually come back to Xia He.

Another half a month passed. During this period, Lu Yang stayed by Xia He’s side, visiting the historical museum, former battle zones, and the library to see how history judged Lu Yang. They reminisced about the bits and pieces of life during the apocalypse, and when they touched upon embarrassing moments, they would exchange a knowing smile, in sync.

"It was you who covered up the fact about me being the original pathogen, wasn’t it?" Lu Yang asked. His acquaintance with Xia He began when she ventured into a zombie danger zone to investigate the source of the virus.

However, the history books stated that the origin of the virus was never found.

Xia He’s smile blossomed: "You are the hero of Blue Star and were the faith of all humanity during that time. Faith cannot be tainted."

Lu Yang nodded but said nothing.

"The Immortal inside you, can we have the pleasure of meeting her?" Xia He asked curiously. In the stories narrated by Lu Yang, the Female Immortal was mentioned the most.

"How can this Immortal honor your mere mortal request to meet me?" Despite her words, Fairy Eternity still emerged from Lu Yang’s body, huffing and looking discontentedly at Xia He, disliking the sight of her either way.

Little Yang was always being affectionate with her and seldom chatted with Fairy Eternity anymore.

"I have seen Immortal Fairy Eternity before, thank you for always taking care of Lu Yang," Xia He said, performing the ancient ceremony impeccably. She learned it specifically from Lu Yang and mastered it after being shown once.

Lu Yang wondered why Xia He had taken an interest in the ancient ceremonies of the Cultivation World. Had she done so just for this moment?

Xia He’s attitude greatly pleased Immortal Fairy Eternity, who hummed with self-satisfaction: "There’s nothing to thank me for. After all, Little Yang is mine, and it’s my duty to take care of him."

"Immortal Fairy Eternity carries the honorable title of Immortal, eternally living freely and at ease, yet you struggle to rebuild your Immortal Body and have to dwell within Lu Yang’s Spiritual Space. It truly is a grievance for you."

Immortal Fairy Eternity was startled, sensing a hidden meaning in the girl’s words.

Hearing Lu Yang’s story, Xia He felt something strange, as if something was off about Immortal Fairy Eternity. Yet that was merely her intuition, something she casually remarked.

Xia He’s bodyguards, aware of the mysterious man by her side, remained on high alert, fearing he might attempt to use the aged Xia to fulfill some unspeakable secrets.

Although Xia was not active in politics anymore, her influence remained steadfast. A single word from her demanded attention from the Blue Star’s high echelons.

As for saying the mysterious man was Lu Yang, the bodyguards naturally didn’t believe it, even though Lu Yang had demonstrated his extraordinary powers at the historical museum.

These so-called bodyguards, in fact, military personnel sent by Blue Star’s high-level officials to protect Xia He, reported the information on Lu Yang to the upper echelons of Blue Star, all of whom remained speechless.

The reason was simple: they had in their possession a report from the head of the Space Agency.

The satellite photos showed an ancient person traveling through the universe in a small boat, identical to the mysterious man beside Xia He.

"Is the person by old Xia’s side really General Lu?"

The reaction within Blue Star’s higher echelons varied, but they all unanimously decided to keep this matter as top secret, not visiting the resurrected Lu Yang nor the waning Xia He.
