427: Hope in despair

“Spend ten billion, and when she revives later, I’ll upgrade her physique as well…”

After thinking for a moment, Wang Feng chose the latter. He was always generous with his own people.

If he could arrange the best, he would definitely arrange it all!

“Ding, okay! But first, you need to touch Chu Yan’er’s body with your palm.”

The System’s voice carried a hint of glee, but it quickly and subtly covered it up, going unnoticed.

Wang Feng, regaining his composure, looked at Xiao Hao, who was touching the dark golden coffin nearby, filled with overwhelming sorrow, and felt a touch of helplessness.

“Why are you panicking? Don’t you know what kind of person Master is?”

Wang Feng took Jiang Hanxi’s hand and walked over to Xiao Hao and the dark golden coffin, then lifted his free hand and lightly patted his head.

With a clear thud, Xiao Hao was instantly stunned.

But after regaining his senses and hearing Master’s words, Xiao Hao was even more bewildered.

Even Jiang Hanxi, standing nearby, had a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Since Husband dared to say such a thing… didn’t that mean he had a way to give Chu Yan’er new life?

Jiang Hanxi was confused, but she didn’t say anything more.

Husband had everything under control. Since it wasn't her business, Jiang Hanxi could only trust Wang Feng one hundred percent.

“Master… do you have a way to revive Yan’er?”

“Is it true?! Master!!”

Xiao Hao immediately knelt on the ground and hugged Wang Feng’s leg, tears streaming from his bloodshot eyes, filled with extreme longing.

“Alright, alright, get up quickly. Open the coffin lid. I need to see Chu Yan’er’s cor…”

Wang Feng paused at the end of his sentence. He thought about it and decided not to say it. Otherwise, with Xiao Hao’s temperament, he would probably cry even louder.

However, Xiao Hao still understood Wang Feng’s meaning. He gritted his teeth through his tears, stood up, and heavily pushed open the lid of the dark golden coffin.

Xiao Hao looked at the round, bundled object inside the coffin. Unexpectedly, he didn’t burst into loud tears, but his tears flowed even more profusely.

Silent tears are often more heartbreaking…

After watching for a while, Xiao Hao still reached out with his trembling hands and gently embraced the round, bundled object.

“Master… please… you must save Yan’er…”

Xiao Hao, holding the bundle and shedding tears, slowly turned around, his voice choked with sobs, almost incoherent.

“Definitely. Don’t worry. How Master revived, your Yan’er will revive the same way, even better than Master’s revival.”

Wang Feng raised his hand and gently pressed down on the air in front of him, signaling Xiao Hao to rest assured.

Only then did Xiao Hao gently kneel on the cold ground, enduring intense heartache and reluctance, and carefully began to unwrap the cloth.

When the cloth was unwrapped, Wang Feng couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart.

The already cold atmosphere around them became even more oppressive.

Following Wang Feng’s gaze, a half-body of Chu Yan’er lay on the immortal artifact cloth spread on the ground.

Her face was extremely pale, a deathly white, completely devoid of color, with some bloodstains still on her cheeks.

And looking further down… this was the reason Wang Feng’s heart trembled.

Because Chu Yan’er’s body was already hollow, with only a shell of flesh and blood remaining; her internal organs had long disappeared.

And her hair, and many other intricate details, were too gruesome to look at…

It was clear how bloody the scene was when she was cut in half, and no wonder Xiao Hao was so frantic.

Wang Feng didn’t dare to delay further. Jiang Hanxi very tactfully squeezed his hand twice.

Then, she quickly and slowly let go of Wang Feng. When it came to serious matters, Jiang Hanxi was always very sensible.

Seeing this, Wang Feng immediately squatted on the cold ground and gently touched Chu Yan’er’s pale, almost greenish, brow with his palm.

“System!”

“Ding, deducting ten billion source points. Beginning to reshape Chu Yan’er’s physical body and retrieve her divine soul from the Underworld…”

As soon as Wang Feng’s words left his mind, the System, understanding his intention, sounded in his head.

One second…

Two seconds…

As five minutes passed, Xiao Hao’s hopeful eyes gradually dimmed.

Jiang Hanxi also couldn’t help but frown slightly. Could Husband’s method… not save Chu Yan’er either?

“System, where are you?!”

Wang Feng was agonizing at this moment, and he urgently shouted a few times in his mind.

However, the System did not respond to him. On the entire icy ground, only three and a half figures stood silently.

After more than ten minutes had passed, Xiao Hao’s heart, which held the last shred of hope, gradually extinguished.

“Master, just do your best… If it’s really impossible, this disciple truly doesn’t want Yan’er’s body to remain exposed…”

Despair was etched on Xiao Hao’s face, his tone desperate and helpless. He stepped forward and reached out with trembling hands, intending to put away Chu Yan’er’s half-body.

“Wait! Don’t rush! My divine soul is currently in the Underworld searching for Chu Yan’er’s divine soul, don’t interrupt me!”

Wang Feng, seeing Xiao Hao about to put away Chu Yan’er’s body, immediately felt anxious and quickly shouted.

He still trusted the System. This silly thing, aside from deducting more source points from him, was absolutely reliable in other aspects.

Upon hearing Wang Feng’s shout, Xiao Hao’s movements instantly paused, his hands hovering in mid-air, trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Feng’s words immediately reignited hope in Xiao Hao. So Master was retrieving Yan’er’s departed soul!

Xiao Hao dared not even breathe loudly at this moment, fearing he would disturb Wang Feng. He sobbed softly and tiptoed to the side.

Under…world…

Jiang Hanxi’s slender brows furrowed slightly. She felt a strange sense of familiarity with this place name but couldn’t recall where she had heard it.

The strange atmosphere slowly passed, amidst Wang Feng’s burning anxiety, Xiao Hao’s faint glimmer of hope, and Jiang Hanxi’s silence…

“Ding! Little Host! This System has returned with Chu Yan’er’s divine soul!!”

Finally! After an uncertain period of more than twenty minutes but less than two hours, the System’s voice rang out.

Before Wang Feng could respond, a peculiar transparent energy slowly emerged from his right hand, which was pressed against Chu Yan’er’s brow.

The space around his right hand seemed to be distorted.

It was like the spatial distortion caused by heat baking the air; the peculiar energy appeared transparent.

The System transmitted the transparent energy, which coiled around Chu Yan’er’s body, causing the space around her to begin distorting.

“Ding! Please wait a moment. Once I transfer the divine soul and energy to Chu Yan’er, the Host’s hand can be released…”

While transmitting the transparent energy, the System also thoughtfully reminded Wang Feng that he could release his hand soon.

As the transparent energy completely enveloped Chu Yan’er’s body, a final surge of incredibly cold golden light poured in.

Wang Feng, Jiang Hanxi, and Xiao Hao instantly felt a burst of light before their eyes, and the special radiance made them close their eyes instantly.

“Ding, it’s done! Host, you can go to sleep with your wife now; leave the rest to me!”

Listening to the System’s voice in his mind, Wang Feng half-believed, half-doubted, and gently released his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found everything was fine.

“Alright, the rest is up to time now.”

Wang Feng stood up, clapped his hands, and said to Xiao Hao with a relaxed expression, reassuring him.
