Ling Tian observed for a while the happy union of this family and then took several medicinal plants and started making a medicinal liquid to nourish Zhang Ruoyan's body and soul. Ling Tian took some more spiritual plants and kept them in his space ring, as he could create some spiritual pills with them.

While he was in the process of making the liquid medicine, he thought about whether he should allow Zhang Xinya to cultivate so that she could help him with some things. In this way, he would most likely also allow Zhang Xinya's mother to cultivate so that she could recover much faster and her soul would be strengthened.

Ling Tian immersed himself in his thoughts on whether or not to allow Zhang Xinya to cultivate.

"It is good that you have awakened at last." Zhang Chao said with great relief as he caressed his wife's head lovingly.

Zhang Ruoyan nodded weakly to Zhang Chao as she returned to see her daughter.

"M-my l-little Y-Ya'er..." Zhang Ruoyan's weak voice slowly became a little stronger over time.

Zhang Ruoyan could barely move her hand, while trying to get used to it and feel her whole body again, as it had been years of not moving so muscle atrophy was inevitable. Fortunately, Zhang Chao helped move his wife's body to avoid this, so there was not much damage.

Zhang Xinya gradually stopped crying as she lifted her face and looked deeply at her mother, wondering if this was a dream or reality.

"Mummy..." Zhang Xinya's choppy, trembling voice made Zhang Ruoyan move her arm heavily to hug her tightly.

She loved her daughter too much and she was one of her most important pillars to not let herself be defeated.

"Y-you have become so beautiful, my little girl." Zhang Ruoyan spoke slowly, getting used to her current situation: "M-mom has always been listening to everything you have said to me so far, my sweet and tender girl."

Zhang Xinya moved and hugged her mother tightly, burying her face in Zhang Ruoyan's neck while the tears threatened to come out again: "I missed you so much, Mom!"

Zhang Ruoyan smiled full of happiness as she hugged her daughter.

Zhang Chao smiled jovially at this, so he went over and hugged his wife's head while gently kissing her forehead.

So many years of waiting and fighting, as well as bitter agony and complete sadness, were eliminated at this very moment as he saw Zhang Ruoyan open her eyes and smile. All the waiting was worthwhile.

Cough

After a long time, Ling Tian decided to interrupt their moment.

Zhang Chao and Zhang Xinya were shocked as they had temporarily forgotten about Ling Tian as they were immersed in the joy of seeing Zhang Ruoyan awake.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruoyan looked directly at Ling Tian with a soft, affectionate smile, as well as an enormous feeling of gratitude. She knew that it was this young man who had saved her from that endless agony.

"Aunt, you will need to ingest this medicinal liquid so that you can recover a little better. Although it will take you a long time as your spirit and soul are very weak." Ling Tian went over and passed the bottle of the medicinal liquid to Zhang Xinya to give to her mother. He had also made several bottles of the medicinal liquid for Zhang Ruoyan to consume.

Zhang Xinya nervously took the bottle with her own hands and gave it to her mother to drink.

"How do you feel now, Mom?" Zhang Xinya asked with concern and hope when Zhang Ruoyan finished drinking the medicinal liquid.

"Mmn." Zhang Ruoyan nodded to her with a soft smile to keep her daughter from being nervous, and then turned to look at Ling Tian: "Th-thank you for saving me. You must be Ling Tian, right?"

"Um." Ling Tian nodded with a calm smile too while being watched by Zhang Ruoyan.

Ling Tian did not find it strange that Zhang Ruoyan knew his name, since she has always been conscious in some way and everything she was told all along could be heard.

"N-no wonder you won my daughter's heart completely." Zhang Ruoyan spoke with a soft smile, making Zhang Xinya blush deeply on hearing this.

Zhang Ruoyan observed Ling Tian's behavior, as well as his clear and pure look without any evil in them. She had also heard of Ling Tian from her daughter when she was staying with her and always told her about her life and what had happened to her every day, as well as the time when she had fallen completely in love with Ling Tian.

Ling Tian could only smile helplessly at this. He never thought that he would really get this divine tribulation from the peach blossoms after almost dying and falling into this little world.

"Aunt, you need to rest for now in order to regain your strength more quickly." Ling Tian advised her to rest and that now she could rest in peace after being in constant suffering and agony without being able to rest for a moment.

Zhang Ruoyan nodded gratefully to Ling Tian.

Zhang Chao and Zhang Xinya helped to place Zhang Ruoyan in a better position so that she could rest peacefully, while they stayed by her side providing warmth and love.

Ling Tian did not say goodbye to them and left quietly, leaving this family their private space.

The guards and others did nothing to Ling Tian while he left the Zhang residence. Even they stood firmly when Ling Tian passed by with a trace of fear in them, as well as some young women who had seen him fight before threw flirtatious and shy looks at him.

The moon was already above the city, illuminating the vast dark sky along with the glow of the infinite stars. A light cool and somewhat cold breeze was blowing in the wind.

Ling Tian did not go very far from the Zhang family when he felt a presence rapidly approaching him.

He calmly turned around just to watch Zhang Xinya arrive in an instant in front of him. Somehow her complexion was flushed.

"Is everything all right?" Ling Tian asked her calmly with a slight smile.

"Thank you for saving my mother!" Zhang Xinya bowed her head with absolute gratitude to Ling Tian.

Her body was still trembling a little due to all the flood of emotions from a few moments ago when she saw her mother wake up after such a long time.

"Don't worry." Ling Tian smiled and after thinking it over for a moment, he said to Zhang Xinya, "By the way, tomorrow go to little Shuiruo's house. Let your mother come too, so that she can recover faster, and if you want just one more person as well."

Zhang Xinya tilted her head in confusion as she listened to this for a few seconds but then nodded without hesitation, "I'll tell my mother then."

"Then go and rest, it is late." Ling Tian spoke while absently observing the moon shining in the sky, thinking about what he had to do next. Seeing the happy reunion of Zhang Xinya and her mother had reminded to him his own adoptive mother.

Zhang Xinya hesitated for a second before deciding to quickly approach Ling Tian and audaciously grab his clothes to attract him to herself while she also moved her head towards him.

Mhmn?!

Ling Tian felt Zhang Xinya's sweet, charming lips seal his own lips. An intoxicating feeling emanated from her as they kissed. The clumsiness was evident in her as it was the first time she had ever kissed anyone.

Zhang Xinya quickly parted from Ling Tian while her face blushed completely and she spoke in a nervous tone: "Y-you may think I am a direct woman and that I do not respect myself, but I really want to be your wife! I will only love you and no one else! ... And I will also make you fall in love with me and love me too!" She quickly escaped to the her home with her heart racing and her entire complexion blushing.

Ling Tian was stunned for a few seconds as he touched his lips and remembered the exquisite taste of Zhang Xinya.

An ironic expression formed in him at the thought of all that had happened to him so far, especially with women.

Ling Tian moved his hand to a small pocket of his clothes and took a small ruby that was inside.

Zhang Xinya quickly left it for him, clearly expressing her feelings along with that kiss of hers.

He then took out the small jade box and placed it together with the other four small rubies. Now there were five in total...

Ling Tian took one last look at the Zhang residence before taking out his sword and flying to the Tang residence.
