The Way of The Dao

Chapter 363 The Maternal Instincts

?Ling Tian took a big breath when he finally got out of the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake>.

* SPLASH!!! *

The walls of the lake fell once again, gradually calming down.

Yun Mengxin also withdrew her power and saw Ling Tian again.

Ling Tian appeared beside the young man and woman.

Opening the woman's mouth with one hand, Ling Tian reached out with his other hand.

Everyone looked carefully at what Ling Tian was doing at this moment.

Ling Tian opened his hand and with his energy, a bright transparent drop was introduced into the woman's mouth. Once done, Ling Tian quickly pressed several acupuncture points all over her body and then placed her open hand on the woman's chest, infusing some of his energy into her.

* WOOSH... *

A faint, light energy began to be directed toward the dying woman, causing the weak, decadent breath in her body to gradually become stronger.

Ling Tian sighed with great relief as he felt this woman's life force gradually stabilize, with her heartbeat becoming stronger.

Now that he was taking a better look at this woman's body, Ling Tian saw that her skin looked no different than that of an old person, so dry and wrinkled. The strands of her little hair that were white began to slowly turn gray until they were completely black.

In short, this woman had the appearance of an old woman.

Her breath, which had been almost undetectable before, slowly began to be noticed and feel like she was regaining force.

Ling Tian was finally able to breathe easy when he saw that it had worked.

Ling Tian felt all his strength go when he fell backwards without being able to exert any movement. His body was full of blood and his organs and internal wounds were in a very bad state.

Huh?

Before he could fall, Ling Tian felt a soft, comforting body behind him.

Looking exhausted at the person in question, Ling Tian smiled gratefully when he finally closed his eyes to recover more quickly.

It was Yun Mengxin who had appeared behind him and prevented him from falling, embracing him with her beautiful, soft body without caring about staining herself with his blood.

Yun Mengxin also took out some cloth and covered Ling Tian, while she continued to hold him without wanting to let him go.

"How is he?!"

Instantly, the women approached both of them and looked at Ling Tian with worry.

"He just needs to rest for a while." Yun Mengxin said as she carefully cleaned Ling Tian's blood-covered face.

Ling Tian was breathing something heavy, but soon his breathing stabilized.

The girls sighed with relief that Ling Tian was fine.

Yun Mengxin frowned slightly as she began to feel that cold, drawn-in feeling from Ling Tian again, as if there was something in his body that belonged to her.

However, she tried to calm down and wait for Ling Tian to wake up.

"Sis Shuiruo, did you bring all the medicine pills with you? Our husband will need to recover once he wakes up." Yun Mengxin turned to see Mu Shuiruo. She had scanned Ling Tian's body and noticed his internal injuries that appeared to have been there for some time, so she concluded that he did not have any pills to recover.

Mu Shuiruo nodded and quickly pulled out several low-range medicine pills.

"If I could make pills a little more powerful then it would be faster..." Mu Shuiruo looked at Ling Tian with worry.

* Woosh... *

At this point, a slight but powerful vitality began to cover Ling Tian's body, healing both internal and external wounds.

"That's it...?" Long Yuyin looked in amazement at what was happening to Ling Tian's body.

"The World Tree's vitality..." Yun Mengxin muttered in astonishment as she remembered what was happening.

World Tree?

The girls wondered in amazement as they watched Ling Tian's body heal with some speed.

At this point, Ling Tian's eyelids shook slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Hey..." Ling Tian smiled at the women who were looking at him with worry.

"Master..." Lan Yin had her little eyes with tears in them, looking at Ling Tian's pitiful state.

Ling Tian smiled tenderly at her and said, "I am fine, just a little weak and need to heal my wounds."

He turned to see Mu Shuiruo and said with a smile, "Little Shuiruo, I hope you have some medicine pills so I can recover." He opened his mouth slightly in sign.

Mu Shuiruo nodded and wasted no seconds, reaching over and taking out all the medicine pills she had with her.

Ling Tian swallowed the low-grade medicine pills, beginning to heal his internal wounds. He knew that something was happening to the World Tree and it was even unexpected that it healed a large part of his wounds.

Ling Tian closed his eyes as he recovered. He refused to move from the comfortable position in which Yun Mengxin was holding him.

The girls finally smiled when they saw that Ling Tian was fine. Although his face and skin were completely pale, they thought he was normal and would soon recover.

"Is little Tian all right?" Tang Zhi approached along with Zhang Ruoyan and they looked at Ling Tian with concern.

The others gradually came closer once the symptoms of dizziness disappeared.

"En, he just needs to rest, mother." Zhang Xinya responded.

Long Cheng, Yun Dong, Tang Wei, Zhang Chao approached and sighed with relief when they understood that Ling Tian would be fine.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen looked with astonishment at this sworn brother of theirs who could endure all this.

Shan Qingwu looked at Ling Tian's condition in amazement as her head was filled with thousands of thoughts.

"Hmm?"

Tang Wanying looked at the other people Ling Tian had brought with him.

At this moment, they all turned to see the young man who had woken up and held the adult woman in his arms, embracing her with obvious love and tears flowing from his eyes without stopping.

When they looked at his side, they were all stunned.

A little girl, completely undernourished and almost as tall as Lan Yin, was hugging the strange but eye-catching white creature as she showed looks of fear and nervousness.

Her face, as well as her skin and appearance, was clearly unsightly, somewhat deformed and ugly. Scars all over her body were clearly evident.

Instead, the beautiful little white creature was in stark contrast to the appearance of the little girl next to it.

This little girl would even alternate her gaze between them and Ling Tian. Her thin little arms clung to the mysterious creature as if it were the only thing that was safe for her.

Zhang Ruoyan and Tang Zhi could not help but feel their hearts squeeze and ache strongly at the sight of such a girl. Their maternal instincts could not help but emerge at the thought of all the pain this little girl might have suffered.

The girls looked equally sad and shocked at this little girl, wondering how she had met Ling Tian and everything else.

Lan Yin, who was the youngest, looked with concern and curiosity at the girl who seemed to be her own size. Lan Yin also couldn't help but think that this little girl had a past just like her by looking at her appearance and reminding her that she was a little bit like her before too.

"Little Sha."

Just as everyone was wondering about this girl, Ling Tian's voice was heard.

Ling Tian opened his eyes and positioned himself a little better when he made a gesture to Qing Sha.

Qing Shan nodded and fearfully approached Ling Tian, feeling all the glances falling on her.

Patting Qing Sha's head once she approached with the little white fox by her side, Ling Tian smiled lovingly at her and said, "Little Sha, don't be afraid, these people will become your family and love you very much too." He continued to pat Qing Sha.

Qing Sha looked nervously and shyly at all the people around her.

"But look what a beautiful, pretty girl."

"She's really the most cute and charming girl."

Instantly, the two mothers gently approached and crouched as they watched Qing Sha.

Qing Sha couldn't help but take a step backwards, looking to feel the safety of Ling Tian.

The only person she trusted was Ling Tian, so it was normal for her to be afraid of others.

Ling Tian smiled and said, "Little Sha, these people are not bad. They are going to love you very much."

Tang Zhi and Zhang Ruoyan looked at Qing Sha before carefully moving their arms together and with their fingers caressing her face and patting her head. The motherly instincts came from both mothers wanting to comfort this little girl when they noticed the fear and loneliness in her eyes.

Slowly, Qing Sha began to feel somehow that these two people in front of her exuded the same feeling she felt from her mother when she loved her very much.

The girls also looked at this little girl with love and tenderness, unable to imagine what she could have endured.

Tang Zhi stretched out her arms even more and slowly carried Qing Sha so that she would not be frightened.

"You really are such a pretty little girl, even your eyes are more beautiful than mine." Tang Zhi smiled at Qing Sha as she looked into her eyes.

Her amethyst violet eyes shone with the radiance of the sun, exuding a wonderful and unique sight to everyone who saw her eyes.

Approaching and caressing her cheeks, Zhang Ruoyan nodded and added: "There is no girl prettier than you, well, little Yinyin is also as pretty as you that both will be the little princesses of the family, hehe~"

Everyone started patting Qing Shan and telling her she was such a beautiful girl.

Ling Tian sighed in relief at the sight of this. He did not want any of them to reject Qing Sha because of her current appearance.

Huh?

Ling Tian felt the alteration of his Little World and began to feel hot again.

At the same time, Ling Tian also felt a slight cold and freezing sensation from Yun Mengxin.

'Could it be that it is because of these things?' Ling Tian wondered while remembering the two spheres of the Holy Shrine.

These had been the main cause of his feeling hot at that time, and now that he was feeling that way again, Ling Tian was sure it was because Yun Mengxin was by his side.

Yun Mengxin also began to feel a cold rising from within herself and Ling Tian's thoughts came to her mind instantly, knowing a little about what had happened to him.

Ling Tian forced his Little World to calm down, because he first needed to heal his wounds if he was to take the next step with Yun Mengxin and know what those two spheres were.
