Ye Xuan uses the Taiyin Divine Needle technique to inject vitality into a seemingly dead girl, reversing the effects of negative energy and preparing her for full resurrection. While Ye Xuan works, Xiahou Yudie and Snake Lord wait anxiously outside, concerned about the risky procedure and its implications for Ye Xuan's abilities.

"Master..."

Seeing Ye Xuan’s figure push the door open and step out, the Snake Lord’s scarlet pupils narrowed, and at that moment, he was nearly suffocating.

Xiahou Yudie also looked towards Ye Xuan with tense anticipation.

Ye Xuan gently closed the door and smiled faintly, saying, "The process was rather smooth, and in the next three days, she will fully absorb the potency of the Life and Death Pill. She will surely wake up within a week."

Upon hearing this, both Xiahou Yudie and the Snake Lord breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then felt overjoyed.

Especially the Snake Lord, who abruptly found his eyes brimming with tears.

Since his sister died, for the past half year, he has diligently searched for a way to resurrect her, always concerned about her.

Now, heaven has not let down a willing heart, and finally, success!

Thud!

The Snake Lord again knelt before Ye Xuan, bowing repeatedly: "Master’s great kindness and virtue, this humble servant will remember forever, never dare to forget!!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan was at a loss for words: "Can’t you not kneel whenever something happens? Big man like you, anyone who doesn’t know might think I treat you poorly!"

The Snake Lord said solemnly, "This kneeling is unavoidable!"

Ye Xuan shook his head repeatedly, feeling helpless: "Alright, since it’s unavoidable, you’ve knelt, now get up. This matter was just a small favor on my part. If not for your resurrection secret technique, I could have only looked on helplessly."

The Snake Lord stood up, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Ye Xuan: "Without master’s final push, my sister would have been without hope."

"Everything is arranged in the unseen. Your sister’s fate was not meant to end; it’s destiny." Ye Xuan said calmly, and then pulled out a small wooden box from his pants pocket, handing it to the Snake Lord.

The Snake Lord was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly: "Master, the Life and Death Pill is incredibly precious. Now that my sister has been resurrected, it is unneeded."

"Your sister doesn’t need it, but you do," Ye Xuan said. "The Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb needed for refining the Life and Death Pill was obtained thanks to you, so you also deserve a share of this Life and Death Pill."

The Snake Lord bowed: "Master has already given this humble servant a Life and Death Pill, I hope master will take this one back and use it for yourself."

Ye Xuan frowned, becoming slightly impatient: "Are you disobeying my command?"

"Master..."

"Take it."

Without giving the Snake Lord a chance to refuse, Ye Xuan thrust the Life and Death Pill into his hands and pouted: "If you say one more redundant word, when your sister wakes up, you’ll take her and go back to your Xiangxi without following me."

The Snake Lord gritted his teeth, trembling hands holding the small wooden box, though it was clearly as light as a feather, in his hands it felt as heavy as a mountain.

This sentiment, how can anyone not be moved?

It was a Life and Death Pill!

And The Snake Lord is merely a servant of Ye Xuan!

Anyone else would never give such a precious Divine Medicine like the Life and Death Pill to a servant.

But Ye Xuan, not only had given him one early to save his sister, now again, refusing rejection, he gave another.

Such behavior is simply unimaginable in this world.

Yet with Ye Xuan, it somehow seems not surprising...

Watching Ye Xuan and Xiahou Yudie leave, the Snake Lord stood stunned at the door, dazed for a long time, unable to come to himself.

For a long, long time.

The Snake Lord wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked down at the Life and Death Pill in his hand, teeth clenched and eyes resolute: "Master... this humble servant will definitely not disappoint you, definitely!!"

...

The night was like ink.

It was already the middle of the night.

Ye Xuan walked lazily on the way home, a poor-quality cigarette hanging from his lips, with Xiahou Yudie closely following, having not spoken for a long time.

The two have known each other for several days, yet during their time together, it seems they’ve never been this quiet.

In this rare peace, Xiahou Yudie took the chance to carefully observe Ye Xuan for the first time, once, twice... several times, secretly watching him from behind.

This man is truly strange.

She’s never seen anyone so outrageous.

Many times, his actions can drive people mad, eager to drink his blood, eat his flesh, scatter his bones.

Yet sometimes, he makes people feel kindness, genuineness, loyalty, such that despite previous grudges, one cannot harbor hatred.

Just like now, Xiahou Yudie seems to have forgotten about Ye Xuan’s daily teasing, her mind replaying the events of the past few hours she witnessed.

As they neared home.

Xiahou Yudie lightly moved her brows, quickening her steps to walk beside Ye Xuan. Walking shoulder to shoulder, she pursed her lips, pretending to speak casually, "The Snake Lord is just your servant, to speak frankly, practically a dog; is it worthwhile for you to care for him so much?"

"Care for him?" Ye Xuan paused, and asked back, "How did I care for him?"

"Isn’t it caring?" Xiahou Yudie asked strangely, "The reason your women could quickly transform from ordinary people to martial arts masters should be thanks to the Life and Death Pill, right?"

Ye Xuan nodded: "Yes."

Xiahou Yudie continued to ask: "Such precious items, you wouldn’t have many left, would you?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment: "I only have two left now."

"There you go!" Xiahou Yudie pouted, "The Life and Death Pill is unimaginably precious, and you have very few left, yet you still give The Snake Lord one more. Isn’t that what caring is?"

"It’s not caring." Ye Xuan smiled, shaking his head: "He did many things for me. Without him, who knows what would have happened to my wife... it’s merely what he deserves."

"Deserves?" Xiahou Yudie was shocked, staring at Ye Xuan: "Ye Xuan, could it be in your world, there’s really no distinction between high and low, noble and humble? The Snake Lord is just your servant!"

Xiahou Yudie was in shock at this moment.

Because she clearly knew Ye Xuan didn’t need to give The Snake Lord the Life and Death Pill for The Snake Lord to go through fire and water for him.

Conversely, given the same resources, if he gifted this priceless Life and Death Pill to a high-ranking member of a Hidden Dragon clan, they would remember his kindness, be able to aid him at critical moments, something The Snake Lord could never do?

In other words, Ye Xuan’s actions were essentially squandering!

Tap!

Ye Xuan paused, took a deep drag from his cigarette, looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, then smiled, shaking his head: "Why must there be distinctions between high and low, noble and humble among people?"

"Because..."

Xiahou Yudie wanted to answer, but when the words reached her lips, she found she couldn’t explain this question.

Indeed.

Why must there be distinctions between high and low, noble and humble?

Is a servant not human?

Are those with great power truly gods?

Are weak people meant to be forgotten, only strong people worthy of respect and help?
