--- Chapter 190 ---
"Xiao Wu will do anything to revive mom!"
Seeing how anxious Xiao Wu was, Han Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and tease her. "I thought you weren't too silly anymore, Xiao Wu, but I clearly was wrong. Look, you still cry so much."
"Master, this is not the time to tease Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu is not joking! Xiao Wu will do anything!" said Xiao Wu with a slightly higher-pitched voice and teary eyes.
"And I told you to calm down. Jeez, after all these years, you're still a silly rabbit." Han Yuan pinched her squishy cheeks playfully.
"Wweeeee~!" Xiao Wu cried even more, looking very pitiful.
Ye Xuelan saw this and shook her head, "Okay, Xiao Yuan. Stop teasing her."
"You know how important this was to Xiao Wu."
"Of course, I know." Han Yuan rolled his eyes at Ye Xuelan. "Why do you think we are here in the first place?"
"So, stop crying, Xiao Wu. You look silly when you cry." He added with a softer tone. "Remember, as long as I'm here, everything will be alright!"
Xiao Wu wiped her tears and smiled brightly, "Mm, Xiao Wu won't cry anymore..."
Han Yuan patted Xiao Wu's head, "That's it."
"Since you have calmed down."
"Let's talk about the method to revive your mother, which requires you to sacrifice a little."
Han Yuan pointed at the 100,000-year-old spirit bone and said, "While this spirit bone holds your mother's origins and her remaining will, most of her soul was in a 'certain' someone's spirit ring."
"I know..." Xiao Wu lowered her head, her eyes gleaming with hatred and sorrow.
Han Yuan sighed, "What happened already happened. Even though your mother's fate wasn't very peaceful, it's still not the end for her."
"Also, don't worry, I have obtained the soul from that spirit master."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened, "But how? That female human, no, that woman is from the Spirit Hall. She's currently the pope of Spirit Hall!"
Even though Xiao Wu desired revenge and had dug deep into her target's information, after learning that Bibi Dong was a powerful title douluo with twin spirits and was the current pope of the Spirit Hall, the rabbit decided to bury her vengeful soul and focused on getting stronger.
Thankfully, Han Yuan helped Xiao Wu greatly by providing her not only resources but also cultivation techniques.
At first, Xiao Wu thought it would take her at least twenty, if not thirty, years to become strong enough to fight the female pope, but Han Yuan cut that estimate by more than half in a mere three years.
In the last three years, Xiao Wu has become stronger rapidly. Give her a decade, and reaching the title douluo realm is already a certainty.
"Let's just say it was another compensation." Han Yuan replied with a smile.
When Han Yuan cleansed Rakshasa's resentment within Bibi Dong, he also noticed one small yet persistent soul resisting the divine power of the evil god.
This tenacious soul, in fact, kept Bibi Dong sane because it was the only neutral force in her cultivation as she cultivated death and soul poisons with her two spirits.
Of course, Bibi Dong abused this fact by being a love-brained person and wasting such a good opportunity.
So, Han Yuan took the soul as payment for his purification.
Bibi Dong didn't notice this because she was too happy to be free in mind and spirit again. She might realize something is changing in her spirit ring later on, but no side effect was left behind.
Han Yuan snapped his finger, and a pinkish flame of soul appeared above his right palm, causing both Ye Xuelan and Xiao Wu to look at him in awe.
"M-Mom!" Xiao Wu stared at the pinkish flame of soul with excitement as she could actually see her mother again.
Han Yuan glanced at Ye Xuelan and stated, "As you can see, both origin and soul are here."
"But we still need her spirit."
"Thus, Xiao Wu, I wanted you to use your blood and will to call upon your mother's spirit."
"In other words, I wanted you to wake your mother up."
Xiao Wu nodded hurriedly, "Xiao Wu will do it!"
Ye Xuelan frowned slightly, "Then, my job is to provide this operation with enough life energy, right? At least to the point I must regenerate her body from the spirit bone alone..."
"This..." Xiao Wu stared at Ye Xuelan in shock. "But doesn't that mean you will push yourself too much, Aunt Xuelan?"
"Xiao Wu..."
"Xiao Wu doesn't want Aunt Xuelan to get hurt..."
Ye Xuelan waved her hand and said casually, "You don't have to worry about that."
"I can regenerate someone's body from a drop of blood if I wanted to, and the cost won't be much."
"As long as I have their complete trace of blood, the result is guaranteed."
"As for the cost..." Ye Xuelan rubbed her chin.
"At worst, I will probably fall asleep for a month or two."
"That doesn't make me feel good at all!" Xiao Wu was speechless. Even then, she was 'deeply' touched by Ye Xuelan's kindness.
Han Yuan chuckled at this, "She fooled you, Xiao Wu."
"You underestimate the power of God's heir."
"Although Xuelan hasn't finished her trials, her body has long transformed into more than a mortal. On top of that, she cultivated the Law of Life, which means her vitality is abundant, even more than mine in quantity."
"Your mother was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, and at most, Xuelan would only use a quarter of her vitality, which will come back in a few hours."
"Her vitality is no joke."
Han Yuan said all this, but didn't mention the fact that the watcher of Ye Xuelan's divine trials is very generous. One of the Godkings, Goddess of Life, is a powerful being and possesses a peak attainment in the Law of Life, capable of turning barren lands into paradise.
Ye Xuelan, being the heir of Flower Goddess, is like a daughter to the Goddess of Life, and she pardoned her for doing reckless things like constantly destroying and healing her body to refine a powerful yet alluring physique.
Oh, Ye Xuelan got injured? Let the Goddess of Life patch those injuries for her with a divine-powered bandaid!
Han Yuan sighed, 'In terms of physical prowess, Ye Xuelan could brawl a 100,000-year-old spirit beast and win!'
To make it worse for the 100,000-year-old, Ye Xuelan is virtually immortal with her Nine Heart Sacred Begonia.
Titan Giant Ape? Pfft, he might lose to Ye Xuelan in armwrestling.
"Aunt Xuelan!" Xiao Wu pouted and glared at Ye Xuelan. "You actually teased Xiao Wu!"
Ye Xuelan giggled, "What can I do? You're just too cute and easy to tease."
"Anyway, let's do it immediately."
"After this, Xiao Yuan owes me a 'full' body massage."
"What!" Xiao Wu was shocked as she glanced at Han Yuan in panic. Her master actually sacrificed his body for her. It makes her more emotional than Ye Xuelan's teasing earlier.
Han Yuan's mouth twitched, "Xuelan, stop."
"You're misleading innocent."
"Innocent? I'm not sure about that." Ye Xuelan pinched Xiao Wu's nose playfully.
Xiao Wu blushed, "X-Xiao Wu doesn't know anything."
"The Soft Boned Rabbit is white."
"White is innocent."
"What kind of analogy was that?" Ye Xuelan gave the silly rabbit a knowing look. "Oh, well, sure, let's keep it that way."
Han Yuan facepalmed, 'Everything went down a weird path after Xuelan opened her mouth.'
"As Xuelan said, let's do this."
Han Yuan drew a magic circle skillfully on the ground with his spiritual power, whispering the secret of the soul that connects two bloodlines to achieve astral communication.
The 100,000-year-old spirit bone and the pinkish flame of the soul entered the magic circle.
"Xiao Wu, step on the circle."
Xiao Wu bit her lips and walked into the magic circle with determination in her eyes. However, soon enough, she felt her body was boiling, and all the energy in her body was 'quickly' consumed.
Her eyes reddened because of the pressure, but even then, she didn't give up and followed Han Yuan's instructions.
She closed her eyes and started using her will to communicate with her late mother.
'Mom, we are going to meet again!'
