Volume 2: The Source of Life Chapter 11: Playing with Twin Phoenixes

  The moonlight poured down like liquid silver, passing through the window and shining on me, cold and eerie.

  After being injured, I endured the severe pain of my internal organs and arrived at the foot of the mountain with blood spitting out all over. I pretended to have been robbed by bandits, otherwise the taxi driver would have taken me for a madman.

  Back home, I was exhausted but didn't lie down on the bed. At this moment, even if my eyelids couldn't be lifted, I still couldn't lie down.

  Enduring the intense pain, I kept my mind in a calm state and stood still with my whole body relaxed. After adjusting my breathing evenly, I had my feet parallel to each other and shoulder-width apart, my arms naturally hanging down, and my eyes gazing forward calmly.

  Then I bent my right knee, my body slightly turned to the right, while my right shoulder swung forward and downward, and my right arm also sank down.

  Wuqinxi, a legendary exercise said to prolong life, has been passed down in various versions, but I once practiced an authentic set in one of my reincarnations.

  Orthodox Five Animals, only emphasizes one concept, which is the unity of form and spirit.

  I adjusted my breathing and coordinated with my body's rhythmic movements, slowly, over and over again.

  A cool feeling slowly spread throughout the body, nourishing the injured internal organs, and the pain seemed to have eased a lot...

  When the sun rises, I let out a mouthful of turbid air and sigh: The hospital should be open now!

  Wuqinxi and Baduanjin are both exercises with magical effects, but even the most magical things have their limits. Can relying on just one night's practice move the displaced five viscera back to their original positions? And then transform stagnant blood? Return me a healthy and lively body?

  It's impossible.

  When I was practicing Wuqinxi, I felt that the third rib on my left side was a bit unusual and should be cracked. After practicing Wuqinxi for one night, my chest tightness improved slightly, but I still need to drink some Chinese medicine to nourish my stomach and spleen.

  I'll go buy a set of acupuncture needles again, although my technique is a bit rusty, but with the help of Chinese medicine and Wuqinxi exercises, I should be able to recover in about one or two weeks.

  It's really troublesome, fortunately she doesn't know it was me, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

  "Lin Mu Xian, humph!"

  After having breakfast, I carried my school bag and went to school. On the street, people going to work were bustling about, busy for a living.

  The beautiful morning sunlight shines on me, warm and cozy, making me feel happy.

  I still recall last night's events. Unbeknownst to me, now whenever I think of Lin Muxian, my long-numb heart has a hint of vitality.

  I'm very clear about this, and I've never thought of suppressing such emotions. In fact, numbness is not my intention, it's just that after experiencing many things, it naturally arises.

  I even wish I could be like this, after all, it makes me feel that I am still a person, rather than a walking corpse.

  Even if I finally find out that Lin Miao's appearance can't change my nightmarish cycle, I won't be too disappointed.

  Let's just say it was a game of rebirth after hiding in the mountains for hundreds of years.

  Having a goal... feels great!

  The school is still the same school, and the classmates are still the same group as yesterday, but the mood with which I stepped into the classroom has changed somewhat.

  Lin Miao Xian was still the same, sitting quietly in the back row gazing out of the window. I deliberately walked around her and sat down at my seat, but she didn't even turn her head to look at me.

  "Fang Cheng." My deskmate Lin Hongyi suddenly called out to me.

  I slightly paused and replied: "Hmm, what's up?"

  She shook her head, "It's okay, I'm here!"

  "Ah, yes, I'm here."

  Lian Hongyi fiddled with her textbook and didn't say anything else. A group of classmates who had asked for leave surrounded her, speaking flattering words.

  The curtain was opened for another day of high school study.

  Lian Hongyi has been ignoring me lately, which should have a lot to do with my ruthless rejection that day. The fragile heart of the little girl was hurt.

  In these aspects, I have no regrets at all. In nearly a hundred reincarnations, I've seen all sorts of lives she's had afterwards. A small lost love is nothing.

  With the appearance of Lin Muxian, my life in this small class group has changed. The voices I hear are no longer the same, and the topics we discuss are no longer similar. However, these changes do not have a great impact on me, for I am inherently tired of living, rather than fearing to do the same things every day.

  As long as I'm still alive, whatever happens around me is all the same.

  "Fang Cheng, you're late for class again." A stern voice rang out from the lectern.

  I looked up to see the beautiful female teacher staring at me with eyes full of anger. In this situation, any student with a bit of common sense should know not to talk back and humbly accept the lesson.

  I'm no genius, but I'm not a fool either. Although I don't understand why she's making such a big deal out of my small mistake, I still lower my head and pretend to be humble, while my mind wanders elsewhere in an instant.

  The beautiful teacher did not let me off, and she kept scolding me. When she was excited, she put down the chalk and started listing out a table one two three four.

  I was too lazy to care, even if she listed eighteen of my misdeeds, I wouldn't have uttered a word. It wasn't until Xiang Hongyi stood up and shouted loudly beside me that I snapped out of my trance.

  "Teacher, I am willing to help Fang Cheng get good grades."

  "Huh?" I just came back to myself and wasn't quite clear about what was going on.

  The beautiful teacher was also stunned and asked: "How did you help him?"

  "After school, I will give Fang Cheng one-on-one tutoring. With his clever mind, I believe his grades will quickly catch up. In the next exam, he won't be holding back his classmates and dragging down the whole class's average score again. This is also my responsibility as a class leader."

  It turned out that this time's mock exam, our class average score was at the bottom, and the biggest troublemaker was me.

  "Does the class leader have a part-time tutoring responsibility?" I muttered to myself, trying to refuse: "This, for me to delay Lin's study, isn't very good, right?"

  "It won't work," said Lin Hongyi, shaking his head. "The more I recall the past, the deeper my memories will be engraved."

  The beautiful teacher thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. Fang Cheng, you don't need to say anything else, I'll call your parents myself. Hmm," she paused, then continued, "Lin Muxian, your grades in this exam were also not ideal, why don't you review with them together?"

  This beautiful teacher has not been in the education industry for a long time, but she is very clear about the thoughts of these big and small kids. When two people are alone together, as a lone man and woman, if something happens, her responsibility will be great. If Lin Muxian is involved, the probability of something happening will be much smaller.

  But unfortunately, she was going to be disappointed again. I glanced at the back row with Lin Mu Xian's personality, how could he possibly agree.

  However, after living for nearly a thousand years, I have to admit that women's hearts are indeed as unpredictable as the bottom of the sea.

  Lin Miao Xian withdrew his gaze from outside the window and glanced at me indifferently, saying lightly: "Alright."

  Good?

  What's wrong with her?

  I curiously turned my head to look over, but Lin Miao Xian had turned towards the window, while Cui Hong Yi beside me looked displeased.

  "You're happy." Xian Hongyi hummed softly as he sat down.

  I glanced at her lightly and said, "You don't like it, you can refuse."

  Lian Hongyi glared at me with a resentful gaze, humming: "I'm not refusing, although I dislike seeing her, but after getting along, we can compare good and bad. I want to let you see how unsuitable she is for you, and how gentle and considerate I am."

  Lian Hongyi's voice was very low, but in the quiet classroom that had just passed through the anger of the class teacher, it still attracted the attention of others. A thin and weak boy in the front row turned his head in surprise, and his mouth involuntarily murmured: "Gentle?...... Considerate?"

  "Get out!"

  I closed my eyes and thought about other things. Lin Muxian's behavior today was very unusual, she had always ignored me but why did she agree to this today? Hmm... what reason could there be?

  My thoughts were racing, and suddenly, I felt a slight jolt in my body as I thought of one possibility, the only possibility that could explain why she was acting this way.

  "Did she realize it was me last night?"

  My mood suddenly turned a bit unpleasant, I'm very unaccustomed to the feeling of things being out of control.

  How did she find me?

  Damn it, tattered clothes. If I had known I was going to fight her, I should have thrown away all my clothes and gone back naked.

  So what should I do now?

  Keeping a low profile and pretending to be ordinary is no longer feasible, so I guess we can only make a big show of things now.

  What's her purpose then?

  Looking for an opportunity to kill me and silence me?

  It's highly likely, after all I managed to extract from her mouth the mysterious organization 'Dong Wei Yi Hun Shi'.

  Isn't Lin Hongyi also very dangerous when she's with me?

  "A Cheng, class is over, let's go!" Xian Hongyi suddenly became proactive after confessing his feelings and failing, completely disregarding the possibility of being seen by other classmates, pulling on my arm with a very affectionate expression.

  "Go? Where?"

  "Go home."

  "What's going on at my place?"

  "Teach you homework."

  "No need, I don't want to learn." I coldly and directly refused while pulling back the arm she was holding.

  "What do you want to do, chase Lin and search for immortals?" Ke Yan Yi suddenly shouted, the classmates who were packing up stopped, and those who had walked to the door also immediately stopped in their tracks. The atmosphere of gossiping instantly became intense.

  "Is she really that good-looking?" asked Lin Hongyi again.

  "Uh-huh..." A chorus of agreement echoed through the classroom, with many classmates nodding in response.

  Lian Hongyi turned her head and shouted loudly: "What business do you have here? All of you go back home!"

  Whoa, the people at the door all ran away, but there were many more heads outside the window, and the classmates in the classroom seemed to be packing up their things, but their hands moved slower than a slow-motion replay in a movie.

  "Run!" Lin Muxian suddenly walked over and coldly spat out a word.

  I thoughtlessly followed her, and only by having more contact with her can I have the opportunity to figure everything out. Killing me to silence me isn't an easy thing to do either. As for Lin Hongyi, danger is just danger.

  There's a very touching phrase between lovers: As long as I don't die, she won't die either. She will forever live in my heart.

  This sentence also applies to me: those so-called relatives, loved ones, and friends, as long as I don't die, they won't die either, they will live forever in my next reincarnation.

  Seeing me catch up, Lin Hongyi stomped her foot in annoyance and followed suit.

  This scene, in the eyes of the lustful people led by Gao Pangzi, was extremely exciting, and they cheered and sang in unison: "One husband and two wives, joyful without end..."

  Classmates who packed their bags were also like they had taken stimulants, with fast hands and feet, and in a flash, they carried their bulging bags and chased out.
